Road House Page #2

Well, this should really

buy me off, shouldn't it?

I thought you'd be

as smart as you look.

Listen. When I want to leave,

I'll let you know.

I came out here with a contract.

I needed the dough.

And I'm gonna collect

every nasty little cent of it. Maybe more.

Who knows? Before I'm through,

you might be running for the depot.

Don't try to borrow two bits

from me when you shove off.

Now look, baby,

I'm not trying to rush you.

Silly boy.

- So that's Jefty's new attraction.

- Not so bad.

- When's she supposed to give out?

- Pete says tonight.

She reminds me of the first

woman that ever slapped my face.

- If she sings like she looks- - You

wouldn't let me wear a dress like that.

How's the take tonight, honey?

- We can use Lily if she's good.

- She'll be good.

Oh, Pete, look, uh-

I wanna do this right.

Give Lily a break, you know what I mean?

- Lights out, spotlight. Okay?

- Give her the works.

Okay, good.

Folks, uh, I'd like you to meet...

our new entertainer, from Chicago-

Miss Lily Stevens.

Lily?

# It's quarter to 3:00 #

#There's no one in the place #

# Except you and me #

#So set 'em up, Joe #

#I've got a little story

you ought to know #

#We're drinking, my friend #

#To the end of a brief episode #

# Make it one for my baby #

#And one more #

# For the road #

# I've got the routine #

# So drop another nickel #

# In the machine #

#I'm feelin'so bad #

# Wish you'd make the music #

# Dreamy and sad #

# Could tell you a lot #

# But you've gotta be

true to your code #

#Make it one for my baby #

#And one more for the road #

#You'd never know it #

# But, buddy I'm a kind of poet #

#And I've got a lot of things to say #

#And when I'm gloomy #

#You've simply

gotta listen to me #

# Until it's talked away #

#Well, that's how it goes #

#And, Joe, I know you're

getting anxious to close #

# So thanks for the cheer #

#Hope you didn't mind my #

# Bending your ear #

#This torch that I've found #

# Must be drowned #

# Or it soon might explode #

# Make it one for my baby #

#And one more #

# For the road #

#That long #

# Oh, that long #

# Long road ##

Is she good?

She does more without a voice

than anybody I've ever heard.

Honey, you were wonderful.

- Terrific.

- Oh, you're crazy, you know that?

Come on, give 'em

another one, huh, baby?

- Well, wise guy, is she good?

- She's good.

And little Jefty did it.

Don't forget that.

She'll be the biggest hit we ever had.

She'll double our business in the bar.

Well, come on. Admit it.

- I admit it.

- You know what I think I'll do?

I'll knock out that wall in the back,

and I'll double the bar.

- Now, wait a minute.

- We'll have the swellest joint west of Chicago.
