The Duchess and the Dirtwater Fox Page #2

- Go suck an egg.

- I like that, what you said just then.

That's very good.

Very good.

Let him read it. Who knows?

Maybe there's a spot in there for me.

That's right, stranger.

Maybe there's room for all of us.

Oh! Look at that.

Look at that.

I tell you, the little lady's got

the longest lifeline I've ever seen.

Just look at this.

I don't believe it.

Look at that line.

It goes on and on...

and on.

Honk-honk!

End of the line!

- [LAUGHING]

[BYSTANDERS LAUGHING]

Here, here, here.

What's this? What's this?

All right,

that's enough of that.

Come on.

Get off of him!

[CHATTERING, SHOUTING,

LAUGHING CONTINUES]

I told you, Bluebird,

no more disturbances.

Next time you're gonna get

your butt kicked out of here.

Not next time. Now!

Wait a minute--

I've had this dump and every other

glorified toilet on the Barbary Coast.

I didn't come all the way from the suburbs

of Boston to put up with this crap!

You don't come

from no suburbs of Boston.

I do too! I'm one of the Cabots

or the Lodges. I forget which.

I got class. I got style.

I got talent!

- Balls!

- And I wish I had a couple of those.

I wouldn't have to do

this kind of work! Ta-ta!

[WHISTLES]

Honk-honk!

[WHISTLES]

Honk-honk!

[HISSING, BOOING]

Okay. Thank you.

Can I help you?

I'd like a ticket

to wherever that'll take me.

Fourteen dollars?

That ain't gonna get you

to the first comfort station.

Say! Ain't you the Bluebird?

Yes.

I had the pleasure of your

company some months back.

I'll never forget that night.

Neither will I.

Tell you what, animal.

How about a stroll down Memory Lane

to make up the difference in the ticket?

Bluebird, you just got yourself

some first-class transportation.

You wait here.

I'll go get my assistant.

Whoa! Ho!

Mr. Wetherly...

I am Josiah Widdicombe

of Salt Lake City.

This is Mr. Gladstone,

my assistant.

- How do you do?

- Howdy.

I trust all arrangements have been

made that were requested.

- Oh, yes, sir. Indeed they have.

- Good.

We will proceed

to the Golden Gate Hotel...

and my wives and children

will attend the interviews...

promptly at 9:
00

tomorrow morning.

Very good, sir. And we'll take full care

of baggage and transportation.

Thank you, Mr. Wetherly.

[CHILDREN TITTERING]

Who booked that freak show?

That's the famous Mormon,

Josiah Widdicombe, and his family.

You mean, he's married to that

sewing club? All those kids his?

Part of his religion.

He has very strong beliefs.

Must have a pretty strong back too.

He come out here to hire hisself

a governess for the children.

Figures San Francisco is the best place

to find ladies of dignity and breeding.
