Out of the Fog Page #2

Fire engines?

It's nothing, just a little fishing-boat

caught fire at the end of the pier.

Jonah, maybe it is ours?

- Don't worry, sport, it's not your boat.

Mister ..

What makes you so sure it's not our boat?

- You can take my word for it.

You are here.

The fire is down at the pier.

How do you know?

I just know.

Come along, Olaf.

- Yeah, I'm ready.

Wait a minute, Jonah. It's cold out.

Let me button your coat.

Well, goodbye Mr Goff. I hope I have

the pleasure of seeing you again.

Don't worry, sport. You will.

Hurry Jonah, you know Caroline.

Eddie!

- Yeah?

Here .. and don't forget. The next time

you run off to a fire, I'll fire you.

I'll fire you! You understand?

Always hollering.

I wish you would fire me.

"Don't ring up the cash register",

"don't do this", "don't do that".

You don't holler at Olaf like that.

The pushing around I got

to take for the dough I get.

What did you say, Eddie?

- Nothing. I didn't say nothing.

By the way, George called. He'll be down

in a few minutes. He ordered the usual.

Hi everybody.

How's business, Mr Propotkin?

Terrible. Even the people who

never pay, stopped buying.

There you are. Gee, I'm glad you finally

got here. I was getting worried about you.

How do you feel? You look good.

But then you always look good to me.

Boy, did I have a swell day today.

Sold off a lot of junk that had been

laying around the shop for years.

Boy, was I in good form.

I don't know why. I never had

such bad luck in all my life.

But then it's a pleasure to

lose to a good sport like you.

Put that back, Sam.

- Put what back? - That ace.

What ace?

That ace you are trying to deal

yourself, you old gyp-artist you.

You want to gyp, do it slick. Here, I'll

show you. Put that ace back in the deck.

Back in the deck?

- That's right.

Alright, now where's the ace?

- In the pack. - You sure?

Sure.

- Alright.

Keep your eye on the deck.

I'll show you something.

Now, keep your eye on the deck.

Excuse me lady, I was just

showing the boys a little trick.

I was proving the hand

is quicker than the eye.

Go on eating. You don't mind if I use your

boyfriend? It will only take a second.

Now, where did you say the ace was?

- In the deck .. wasn't it?

In the deck. In the middle where I put it.

- Oh no it ain't.

It's in the inside pocket

of this gentleman.

Say, that's wonderful.

I know how you did that.

Could I have the deck a minute?

I'll show it to you.

- Go ahead. - George.

Leave him alone, lady. Don't let

him suppress his natural talent.

Take a card. Any card at all.

Makes no difference to me.

Alright, put it back in the deck.

Remember now.

- Yeah, we remember, don't we.
