The Big Street Page #2

Synopsis: Little Pinks is in love with a nightclub singer named Gloria. But it is a unrequited love as she does not know that he exists. Pinks is a shy busboy and Gloria only goes out with men who are loaded. When she tries to dump Case for richer Reed, Case dumps her down the stairs. After months of treatment, she will never walk, but Pinks is the only one who takes care of her. He pays all her bills and sends her flowers with unsigned cards. But to Gloria, he is nothing in her eyes. When she wants to leave New York for Florida, to be with the money set, he takes her.

for making you lose your job.

- I'll get another one.

- Bussing?

Sure.

You could be something, Pinks.

- Ain't you got any ambition?

- Not much.

You can't spend your life

giving out butter and filling glasses.

Why not? Oh, I don't like day jobs.

They cage you in.

I wanna see things in the light

because I got a lot to check on.

You know, you're an intellectual, Pinks.

Now, me, I'm strictly

a no high school girl.

I like New York.

- Hello, Pinks.

- How are you, Nicely Nicely?

Oh, nicely, nicely, thank you.

Oh, that's Miss Violette Shumberger.

- How do you do?

- Hello.

I've heard a lot about you.

Oh, I have a slight message

for you, Pinks.

- From who?

- Miss Gloria Lyons told me to tip you...

...to see her on the double quick

in reference to the payroll.

You see, Violette?

You got her all wrong.

Show me the envelope

with the cash in it, and I'll apologize.

Well, so long, everybody.

- So long.

- Goodbye.

I sure admire your style.

Gee, we could play

a great game of doubles.

What kind of talk is this?

Well, you see, a fat guy

is always listening to love stories...

...but he ain't never got any to tell.

Aren't you nice, Mr. Nicely Nicely.

Would you like to come upstairs...

...and see my kitchen?

You said kitchen?

I sure would, Miss Shumberger.

Violette, with a double T, E.

Are you still here?

I told you, Miss Lyons

said she wanted to see me.

Yeah? What do you want she should do?

Dance up the steps and get you?

Please wait around backstage

or you'll have to pay cover charge.

- Everything all right, Mr. Reed?

- Fine.

I'd even be better if you could get

Miss Lyons to join us for a drink.

I'm sorry, she already has a commitment.

Engaged to Mr. Case Ables.

- Too bad.

- However...

...since she is a girl who is strictly

interested in the higher income brackets...

...and since, if you'll forgive me,

you are a citizen of means...

Follow me, kid.

Get out of here, you peeping Tom!

Hello, Baby, darling.

Hello, honey.

- Did you give Baby his vitamin B?

- I sure did, and took some myself.

Listen, hippo, that's hair,

not spaghetti.

I thought you laid

an egg tonight, honey.

Don't be vulgar.

I can only remark, it ain't sensible

to be flirting around in front of Mr. Ables.

Your bracelets are getting

pretty old-fashioned.

You could shut your mouth.

We got a guest.

Blow, Ruby, I'm tired.

Tell the headwaiter I wanna see him.

Okay.

Come here, Droopy.

I owe you a break.

What do they call you?

- Little Pinks.

- Little Pinks?

That's not a name,

that's a toothbrush.

My name's really Pinkerton, but I got

a brother that's shorter than I am...

...so they call him Big Pinks.

I'm taller than he is,
