The Great Gatsby Page #2

---

- Next week. My man's working on it.

- Works a little slow, don't he?

- No, as a matter of fact, he doesn't.

If you're not interested in buying it,

I'm sure...

...that I can find someone who is.

I didn't mean that, I just meant that...

I figure I could fix it up and turn a profit.

Myrtle Wilson,

this is Nick Carraway. Nick...

Mr and Mrs Wilson.

Why don't you get chairs,

so someone can sit down?

Sure.

I want you to get on the next train.

All right.

I'll meet you in the city.

I really could use that car.

Think I got a buyer for it.

That's fine... Fine.

I'll make sure my man stays right on it.

Nick. Mrs Wilson, nice to see you.

Bye.

Tom!

Hello, Nick.

Stop! Stop here.

I wanna get one of these dogs.

I want one for the apartment.

They're so nice to have.

- What kind are they?

- All kinds.

What kind would you like, lady?

I'd like one of those police dogs.

That's no police dog!

That dog's not exactly a police dog,

he's more of an Airedale.

Look at that coat. Some coat!

That dog will never bother you

with catching a cold.

I think it's cute. How much is it?

That dog?

That dog will cost you $10.

- Is it a boy or a girl?

- That dog?

That dog's a boy.

That dog's a b*tch! Here's $10,

go buy ten more dogs with it.

- I'll leave you.

- No, you don't!

Myrtle'd be very hurt if you wouldn't

come up to the apartment.

Come on. I'll call my sister Catherine.

People say she's beautiful.

- What about our appointments?

- Wall Street will be there tomorrow.

Really, Myrtle, that dress!

I think it's adorable!

It's just a crazy old thing. I slip it on

when I don't care what I look like.

It looks wonderful on you,

if you know what I mean.

I think if Chester could

get you in that pose...

I think he could

really make something of it.

I'm Catherine, Myrtle's sister.

People say we look like twins,

but I don't think so.

I'm Nick. Won't you sit down?

I told that boy about the ice.

These servants! You really have to

keep after them all the time.

- You live down on Long Island, too?

- Yes, in West Egg.

Really?

I was down at a party in West Egg

about a month ago,

at a man named Gatsby's.

- Do you know him?

- I live next door to him.

He's German.

Really. The cousin or nephew

or something of Kaiser Wilhelm.

That's where all his money comes from.

- Really?

- I'm scared of him.

- Why?

- I'd hate him to get anything on me.

- What a cute dog!

- Darling!

Excuse me, Myrtle,

could you come here?

Neither of them can stand

the person they're married to.

- Can't they?

- Can't stand them!

What I say is,

why go on living with them

if they can't stand them?

Come on! Kiss that adorable little thing!
