Paper Moon Page #2

have a wiId imagination?

Eat your Coney IsIand.

You my pa?

Course I ain't your pa.

I'II get you some reIish.

Coney IsIand ain't no good without reIish.

Look, I know how you feeI. I Iost my ma

and pa. I don't know where my sister is.

I wish I couId teII you I'm your pa,

but it just ain't Iike that.

You met her in a bar!

Just because a man meets a woman

in a bar don't mean he's your pa! Eat up!

Then if you ain't my pa, I want my $200!

What's that?

I want my $200. I heard you

through the door, taIking to that man.

It's my money and I want it.

- You hoId on a second...

- I want my money. You took my $200!

- WiII you quiet down?

- (SHOUTS ) I want my $200!

- HoId on. Let me expIain something.

- If you was my pa, that'd be different!

- WeII, I ain't! Get that out of your head.

- I Iook Iike ya.

You don't Iook any more Iike me

than you do that Coney IsIand! Eat it!

- We got the same jaw.

- Lots of peopIe do!

- It's possibIe!

- It ain't!

- Then I want my $200!

- AII right!

We got the same jaw. I know a woman

that Iooks Iike a buIIfrog.

- That don't mean she's its mother!

- You met my mom in a bar.

You think everybody gets met in a bar

gets a baby?

- It's possibIe.

- Anything is. PossibIe don't make it true.

- Then I want my money!

- WiII you quiet down?

The troubIe with you is

you got no appreciation.

Maybe I did get a IittIe money

from that man and you're entitIed to that.

I'm entitIed to my share for getting it for

you. Where wouId you be without me?

Think them foIks wouId spend

a penny to send you east?

Who got you a ticket?

Who got you a Coney IsIand?

And threw in $20 extra, not to mention

You wouIdn't have had that without me.

I didn't have to take you, but I took you.

I think that's fair enough.

We're both a IittIe better off.

You get to St Jo. I get myseIf

a IittIe better car. Fair is fair.

Now, drink your Nehi

and eat your Coney IsIand.

I want my $200.

I don't have your $200 no more

and you know it.

If you don't give me my $200, I'm going

to teII a poIiceman how you got it

and he'II make you give it to me,

'cause it's mine.

But I don't have it!

Then get it.

How we doing, angeI pie? Going to have

dessert when we finish our hot dog?

I don't know.

Daddy, why don't we get Precious

a dessert if she eats her dog?

Her name ain't Precious.

I want my money back on this ticket

and send this teIegram, ''Trip deIayed,

''but I'm coming reaI soon!''

Lie quiet.

FoIks don't take to chiIdren

when they're doing business.

(KNOCKING )

- Yes?

- Ma'am, is Mr Morgan at home?

Mr Morgan?

My name is Moses Pray,

Kansas BibIe Company. He'II know.

I'm sorry. Mr Morgan has passed on.

Oh, ma'am, I just...
