The Night They Raided Minsky's Page #3

My village queen

- My village queen

- My village queen

Excuse me, miss,

but you dropped your purse.

Oh, thank you.

And my money's all here, too.

To show you my appreciation,

you can meet me round the corner...

Jump on some thin ice, will you?

You, well, you're ruining me,

you know that?

A few more items, Mr. Minsky.

One more uncouth scene,

another vulgar gesture

and I'll have enough for a raid. A raid!

...in a half an hour!

Hey, fellas, did you hear what she said?

She said I could

meet her round the corner

in a half an hour.

Meet her round the corner

in a half an hour.

Meet her round the corner

in a half an hour.

- Better keep an eye on him.

- You were wonderful funny.

- Was I?

- Oh, Raymond.

- This is Miss Rachel...

- Schpitendavel.

- Schpit?

- ...endavel.

- From Smoketown, Pennsylvania.

- Come here for to be a dancer.

- "For to be a dancer"?

- I studied with Miss Hornsmeier.

- Harriet Hornsmeier?

- Oh, Harriet Hornsmeier, of course.

- I'm some handy for dancing.

- I'll bet.

Hey, what kind of dancing you handy for?

I dance stories from the Bible.

From the Bible?

It's a book civilians read on Sundays.

Raymond, am I funny-looking?

You know, I mean, well...

When I leave the room,

did a short, funny guy just walk out?

You met a girl.

Chick, my boy, when it comes to girls,

you have three qualities that are far

worse than being short and funny-looking.

You have the curse of the three "D"s.

You are decent, devoted and dependable.

Good qualities in a dog,

disastrous in a man.

Women like bastards.

- No wonder they love you!

- Yes. I'm a BFC. Bastard First Class.

Hey, Chick, come on down!

That's a hell of a place

to have a dressing room, isn't it?

It's disgraceful!

A man like you should have a suite!

From head to toe you're a gentleman

I don't care what they say

Mornings and evenings

impeccably dressed

Stains on your tie

match the soup on your vest

From stem to stern you're a gentleman

That's what drives the girls mad

Breeding and quality, touch of frivolity

You're a superior lad

Hold it!

- Hey, you can take this girl out tonight.

- Tonight?

Yeah. You can hug her and kiss her

and buy her a few drinks

and take her up to your apartment

and she'd show you a wonderful time.

But you're not going to!

And do you know why not?

- Why not?

- Because she's not good enough for you.

From head to toe you're a gentleman

See you later.

Men like you need the best

She seemed pretty good to me!

Clothing like yours

is a feast for the eyes

I could've had a bit of luck there!

Tailors grow pale

when they see you walk by

From nose to toes, hey, you're beautiful

Hollywood, here you come
