Scared Stiff Page #2

I'm down here. See?

- Did I hurt you?

- No.

- No.

- I get up and I say,

- boy, you got a lot of nerve.

- No!

- Oh, no!

- Wait, wait, wait!

- All right.

- Wait!

- What in the...

- I don't like that part, either.

Well, there's only one part left,

and that's Rosie's.

- I'll take it.

- All right, you be Rosie,

Rosie will be Myron,

and I'll be the husband.

And we'll pick up right where we left off.

See? I get up and I say,

Myron, we shouldn't fight like this.

We've been friends too long.

- You're right, Larry.

- And besides, it's all her fault.

No, no, no, wait!

Wait, wait, wait!

Come on, Myron.

- He's just a troublemaker, anyhow.

- You're right, Larry.

I don't know what I'm going

to do with you, Myron.

You don't know? You've already done it.

Oh, look, Myron, we've been friends

a lot of years, ever since we were kids.

You made a fool out of me, Larry,

and I'm hurt.

Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you.

I like you. We're buddies, aren't we?

I'm your chum

I forgot. You're my chum.

I'm your friend

Through thin and through thick

I'm your pal

That's right, you're my pal

Till you die

- Already I'm sick.

- Which reminds me.

When you were sick

remember how I nursed you?

Stayed by your side

and wouldn't go away

Yeah.

But what have you done for me lately?

What did you do for me today?

Today? Every day, everywhere I go,

I find something for you.

And every time you let me down.

Now, take tonight.

I get you a job as a busboy,

and what are you doing?

- You're waiting on tables.

- Well, they told me to do that, Larry.

I was taking Pierre's place.

- And where was Pierre?

- Oh, he got in trouble.

He was kissing one of the girls

in the show.

That shouldn't get him in trouble.

I kiss some of the girls in the show.

Yeah, but he picked the wrong one.

This one happened to belong

to the Big Boy.

- You mean Shorty?

- Yeah. Could you imagine?

Of all the girls in the line, he gotta pick

Shorty's girl to play around with.

They were dancing

in a telephone booth,

and one of Shorty's men saw them.

- Telephone booth?

- Yeah.

What a dope. What happened to him?

I don't know. A couple of Shorty's men

came over and took him away.

- They took him away?

- Yeah.

- Which girl was it?

- This one.

Oh, no!

- Why, what's the matter, sweetie?

- Nothing. Nothing at all.

Bye.

Excuse me.

So what's the matter with him?

I just told him about you and Pierre.

Oh, you did, did you?

You better get out of here

before Shorty finds out about Larry, too.

Yeah? Well, it's too late,

'cause he found out already.

- He did?

- Yeah, he did.

Oh, I'd better answer that.

It might be a phone call.
