getting you well. And he said

getting with a band

was a good way to go at it.

He even gave me the name of a

guy in town, right here, to get a job.

That's nice. I mean if this man with

a job ever heard of this great doctor.

Most times these things

just don't come through.

I got this.

What is it?

It's a letter from the doc.

I think I'll go call him now.

Now. Let's talk about it tomorrow.

I'll be right up, Zosh.

You ain't even tasted the cake.

I'll only be a minute. I'll be right up.

No! Now! Frankie.

First taste a piece of nice...

(door slams shut)

cake.

Hey, are you coming baby?

(Molly )

Yeah, yeah I'm coming Johnny.

Hey Molly.

(Molly ) Yeah I'm coming, Johnny.

I want to talk to Mr Harry Lane please?

How about it, huh?

Machine, Frankie Machine.

Yeah, I got a letter of introduction

for him from Doctor Lennox.

Yeah.

Hello Frankie.

Doctor Martin Lennox.

How have you been, Molly?

Alright.

(Jack) C'mon baby, let's go.

Yeah, I'm coming Johnny.

I guy I met while you was away.

Mr Lane, I got a letter for you, yeah.

C'mon on, what do you say, kid?

This afternoon, huh? Well gee,

I sure do appreciate it Mr Lane,

thank you so much.

Ok, goodbye.

Frankie, a new thing by

Bracks department store.

No sales girls you just help yourself.

It's what they call our honour system.

What's the matter, Frankie?

Feel that material. And I figured

as long as I'm there. Nice, huh?

Are you alright? Frankie?

I got the drumming job.

Already. Wow!

When I move I move

like a streak, punk.

Think it looks alright, Zosh?

How come you ask me all of a sudden?

I just want to know

if it looks alright, Zosh.

And my name ain't Zosh it's Sophia.

What's the matter?

Nothing's the matter. Except how would

you feel if your spine was hurting?

Why didn't you say so?

On account it's your first day back,

I just didn't want you should worry.

Don't be like that Zosh. Is it bad?

Maybe the new doctor

will do me some good, huh?

We'll go see him when I get back.

Take me now, Frankie.

Zosh, I got this appointment,

you know how much it means to me.

We'll go as soon as I get back.

Please, Frankie.

I'll hurry, I'll hurry.

Frankie, give me a little

more massage then, first, huh?

Zosh, I'm doing this for you to get some

money so you can get a good doctor.

Oh, please, Frankie.

Look I'll get you a dog too, how's

that, huh? Get her a dog, will you.

I'll give the matter

my personal attention.

Just have confidence

in the management.

Wish me luck Zosh.

Frankie.

Oh, Frankie.

Wait, wait Frankie.

Can't be two places at once.

What could I do?

- Yes, she just don't realise.

- Shut-up punk, she just don't realise.
