Miss Sadie Thompson Page #4

- That jeep will be floating.

- It's raining cats and dogs!

- You think this is rain, just wait.

- This won't do anything for my figure!

- Don't need nothing!

- Why, private, I'm surprised.

Hold on!

To paraphrase an old saying:

"The situation has landed and has

the Marines well in hand."

Go away!

When I want you,

I'll rattle your cage.

Knock it off!

I told you to fall back!

That goes for the rest of you guys.

Sadie's only got two legs.

No, I like to dance while I can.

How about it?

We haven't danced.

- You're not my speed, honey.

- Just follow me!

Miss Thompson.

I've been trying to place her.

- Has she been here before?

- Not that I know of.

- How are things in the States? Better?

- In what way?

- People still knock themselves out?

- Faster.

Same old rat race. That's why

I never went back after the war.

Everything gone slam, bang, hurry up,

time is money, get it while you can.

Don't let up. For what? Money.

And what's it get them?

Taxes and gadgets that

don't bring nobody peace.

- You're quite a philosopher.

- No, lucky.

Fell for a native and learned a lot.

I remember where I saw her.

I'm sure of it now.

- There's no doubt.

- No doubt of what?

She worked at the Emerald Club.

- What?

- The plague spot of Honolulu.

The girl worked there.

She's a prostitute.

You shouldn't assume without proof.

- I was at the raid. I saw her.

- She might have come with a friend.

Men didn't bring women there.

They went looking.

It was an infamous trap

for servicemen.

I saw them coming in.

All with one purpose.

- Never smiling.

- Desire is sad when it must be bought.

I saw girls from all nations there.

"Entertainers." Harlots!

I finally forced the police

to close it.

The women were to be deported.

Somehow she managed to escape.

You could be mistaking her.

- Obviously, she continues her trade.

- I see nothing obvious.

Doctor, I've devoted my life to

fighting corruption.

- I know immorality when I see it.

- I know intolerance.

- Passing judgment without proof.

- Robert, please.

Excuse me.

With gangrene,

what proof do you need to operate?

Gangrene is fact. It's tangible.

- So is evil.

- It's a matter of definition.

Evil is a fact! Like right and wrong.

You think that immorality

doesn't exist.

Everything's relative.

I know what men of science believe.

Freud, Adler and Jung have

destroyed moral values.

- Now just a minute.

- Destroying moral values!

Letting people think

they're not responsible.

We are responsible.

Each of us must choose good or evil.

We must stamp evil out.

The way you fight a disease.

- There's no need to get upset.

- I'm not.

I know where I stand.
