She Done Him Wrong Page #9

- Yeah, I thought I might.

When?

When Gus moves out.

- Flynn, you're an optimist.

- No.

You may as well know it.

Gus is in the hole. And you'd be, too,

if it wasn't for me.

So, you're gonna protect me? From what?

There's a new dick in town called the Hawk.

He's been tipped off to Gus,

and he's got the goods on him.

Gus ain't done anything.

What's he got on him?

Don't be so innocent, Lou.

You're talking to a man who knows you...

and is willing to protect you

if you play along with him.

I don't know what you're talking about.

You don't know anything

about that Sally girl?

What Sally?

The one you roped in

and turned over to Gus.

Why, he only got the poor kid a job.

Depends on what kind of a job.

That's where Gus put his foot in it.

Where do you think he gets the money

to buy you them rocks?

From this place here? Don't be a fool.

If Gus goes up the river,

you'll go along with him.

I'm tipping you off privately.

What are you trying to do, scare me, Dan?

When I need protection, I'll write you a letter.

That ain't no way to talk to me, Lou.

You said you liked me once.

When I said I was crazy about you,

I didn't say how crazy.

I never gave up and I never will.

You can't expect to go around

getting men all on fire...

and think they're gonna forget all about it.

Now, Gus has had you long enough.

He's going away.

I'll see about that.

And you're coming to me or nobody else.

You love me that much

that you'd frame Gus to get me?

To get you

I'd even frame my own mother.

And I believe you.

I'm beginning to understand you, Flynn.

Tell me.

Who is this here guy they call the Hawk?

He's the slickest bird in the business.

Even the men from headquarters

wouldn't know him if they fell over him.

You know, I never did appreciate you before.

But I do, now.

- You mean that, Lou?

- Why, of course I do.

I'll see about that little matter another time.

All right.

- Lou, it looks like Chick's done it.

- Done what?

I ain't sure, but word's around he broke jail.

- Made a getaway?

- I'm just telling you. I'll be standing by.

Thanks, Spider. Keep your eyes open

and don't tell anyone.

I won't, Lou.

Come in.

I came to inquire about Sally Glynn.

I'm told she came here

after she left the mission that day.

- Where is she?

- How should I know?

You know where she is. I want you to tell me.

So you've come to me

to find another woman.

I don't know and I wouldn't tell you if I did.

You see, her father's over at the mission

looking for her.

- That's the only reason you want to know?

- Yeah.

Gus and his friends got her a job.

You don't know where?

No. I got other things to think about.

Would you give me your word
