Flamingo Road Page #3

Look, why don't you come uptown

with me and get some supper?

Maybe we can figure out

what to do about you.

You wouldn't have anything personal

in mind, would you?

Nothing. I just don't like to eat by myself.

I wouldn't have to go like this.

I've got better clothes.

- You sure you want me to go?

- Sure.

There's an attachment on this show.

Right now you're the only tangible asset.

I won't be but a minute.

- Maybe I'd better wait outside.

- No, you don't have to if you don't want...

Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you, Sheriff.

- I guess I had you figured all wrong.

- Why?

You really meant that, didn't you?

About taking me uptown

for something to eat?

No bargains?

No "I'll do this if you'll do that?"

No hot breath down my neck?

Better?

- A lot.

- Good.

You know something?

You're too pretty to be alone in Boldon.

I've been in lots worse towns.

Took pretty good care of myself, too.

I'll bet you did at that. Let's go.

All right.

Here, take this inside

and cut them up, will you?

Right away. Cut them up.

Hello, Sheriff.

- Evening, Joe.

Well, how are you, Field?

- Hi, Pete.

One hamburger, hold sauce.

Hey, bring me some more pie

and another pitcher of milk.

- Coming right up.

How's everything? How's the soup?

Hi, Field.

- Hello, Millie.

- How's the Blue Plate?

- You couldn't do worse.

- You're out late tonight.

- Rabbit hunting.

Must use quite a snare.

Millie, this is Lane Bellamy.

- Hi.

- Hello.

- You're gonna have the Blue Plate, too?

- Well, if it's no worse than you say it is.

It couldn't be.

Don't eat the soup, it's awful.

Two Blue Plates!

Well, here we are.

- Well, aren't you gonna ask me?

- What? The story of your life?

I figure that's the least you're entitled to.

You know, I'd almost forgotten

I didn't know you.

There didn't seem to be anything for me

to be curious about.

You said that as though you meant it.

I hope this won't spoil

a beautiful friendship.

If you want anything else, just yell.

Everybody else does.

You're a good girl.

- Good and ready.

Do you go through this every night?

It comes with the Blue Plate special.

We got up to where your great ambition

was to be a dancer.

Isn't much more to tell.

I had a few jobs with burlesque,

got stranded in Helmet,

then a fellow with a doll pitch

wanted an assistant

so I hooked up with Coyne's Carnival.

And that takes us right up to 8:30.

- Now what are you gonna do?

- Catch my breath.

You got to make a living.

What can you do?

I was gonna figure that one out tonight.

- Hey, Pete!

- Yes, sir.

I was just wondering if you could use

another girl to wait tables?

- Well, I don't know about that.

- Miss Bellamy here is looking for a job
