Love Me or Leave Me Page #2

Will you kindly use your head?

That one belongs to the Gimp,

bought and paid for.

- The Gimp?

- So don't make trouble for yourself, or me.

I got a big investment in this place.

It's funny. I would have sworn

she hasn't been around much.

Maybe she hasn't.

What she knows, they learn in the cradle.

Wait a minute, Frobisher.

- Etling, I'm here.

- Hello, Mr. Snyder.

I got my own laundry, eight trucks,

and she does her own washing. Cute, huh?

- They treating you right, kid?

- They're wonderful to me.

Okay, Frobisher, thanks. Blow.

I delivered, didn't I? Tell the truth.

You thought

I was giving you the business, right?

I've got to go.

Frobisher, the kid is staying

out of this one.

Sure, why not?

No, I better go.

- No...

- He won't mind.

There is something I want to ask you.

You see, I'm dancing.

That's great.

Tell me, have you ever been to Florida?

No, I haven't. I hate to bother you...

You'll be crazy about it. Take it from me.

All the girls are nuts about Miami.

Mr. Frobisher put me in the chorus...

He won't fire you, don't worry.

He wouldn't dare.

It's the worst weather here, freezing cold.

In Miami, you go swimming

in the ocean every day.

I don't want to dance, I want to sing.

Singing, dancing, what's the difference?

You're on the stage, ain't you?

- In here, Georgie.

- All set, Marty. Got the train tickets.

How do you like that?

We're leaving Friday night.

- Leaving for where?

- For where? For Florida.

Little girl, you gotta start

listening to me.

But I don't want to go to Florida.

Why not?

How do you know you won't like it?

You've never been there.

You said so yourself. You'll love it.

What's not to like?

She thinks it's a line.

She thinks I say Miami,

I mean Atlantic City.

- Georgie, show her the tickets.

- Here are the tickets.

Frobisher will keep your job for you.

Don't worry.

Mr. Snyder, I'm not going.

Georgie, get out of here.

Beat it.

- Look here, you stupid little broad...

- Don't you talk to me like that.

I'll talk to you any way I like.

You know who I am?

You think I let dames

get away with anything?

I'm not trying to get away with anything.

I didn't ask you for one thing.

You didn't ask but you wanted.

I did my share, what about you?

Who do you think you are? You're nothing.

Get funny with me, and I'll throw you

back to that crummy dance joint.

You won't have to. I'll walk back.

What are you doing?

I'm leaving.

All I wanted was a chance to sing.

And I'll get it.

You don't have to do a thing.

I'll get it for myself.

Hey, Etling.

What's her name?

Ruth. Ruthie, come on out.

What did I say that was so terrible?

What crime did I commit?

- Come on like a good girl.
