I'll give 15 cents

Nice move, kid.
Oh, no, Natty.
[ puppy yips ]

Don't worry, I'll keep this one.
That's what you said
the last time.
My dad'll let me.
Just look at this mug.
Yeah. But what is he
gonna be when he grows up ?
A dog.
You never know, kid.
He might grow up to be
a lion or a tiger.
Maybe one of them
great big walruses.
Walrus.
Something wrong ?
Yeah, you're payin' them guys
half what they're worth.
I didn't hear them
complain.
'cause they're scared.
You're a troublemaker,
Gann.
But I've got something
for you.
Hey, wait. This here says
Washington state.
Steady work, Gann.
A real break.
Bus leaves today, 6:00.
I got a kid, now.
What about my kid ?
That's not my problem, buddy.
I got one seat on a company
bus. Take it or leave it.
Well ?
Hey, what are you, nuts ?
You walk outta here,
you don't work. Ever !
You in a position
to do that, Gann ?
[ vendor ]
apples, here.
Apple, lady ?
- Hey, Louie !
- Yeah ?
You seen Natty ?
Not since morning.
- You know where she is ?
- No idea.
Seen Natty ?
No.
No.
Seen Natty ?
Uh-uh.
Ah, Jimmy.
Have you seen Natty ?
No.
Don't worry, Sol.
She'll turn up.
She always does.
Yeah, but I only got
an hour left.
I don't know, Sherman.
I just don't know.
Sol, you got no choice.
It's a job.
Yeah.
[ sighs ]
It's not gonna be that hard,
Connie.
She's a good kid.
She practically takes care
of herself.
All you got to do is just make
sure that she's eatin' right...
And that she's getting
to sleep at night--
just look after her.
Okay.
Just watch out for her,
okay ?
After I get some money,
I'll send it to you first thing.
And all you gotta do
is just buy her a ticket
and put her on the train.
It'll be extra
for takin' her
to the station.
And if you're not payin' me
in advance, Sol, it's gonna
be nine bucks, not seven.
Okay, okay. Anything you say.
It's a deal, Connie.
- You'll do it.
- Sol, I said I'd do it.
[ sighs ]
I'll do it.
Thanks... Connie.
[ driver ]
okay, buddy.
You comin' or not ?
Hey !
Hey, kid, come here.
I got somethin' for you. Sol
give it to me before he left.
Left ?
Yeah, left. Gone.
Arrivederci.
[ sighs ]
left.
