The World of Suzie Wong Page #2

Hey. Where you going now?

I left my watch on the table

in my room.

I go with you and help you wind it.

Good girl.

Oh, sorry. It must be navy day.

Always is at the Nam Kok, mate.

- Come on, Minni Ho.

- Oh, you're Minni Ho.

You know me?

No. I've heard of you.

You satisfied, Mr. Lomax?

I'm not sure.

- I'm sure.

- This very respectable hotel.

Not brothel. Brothel illegal

in Hong Kong.

Obey law here.

Only rent rooms.

This bar not belong to me.

I suppose you have to draw the line

somewhere.

And the line, I guess, is right here.

- Yes, sir?

- A beer, please.

A dollar twenty, please.

- Thank you.

- Thank you.

You draw my friend, Wednesday Lu.

You must be artist who rent room

for whole month.

Well, I didn't mean to start a scandal.

- Won't you sit down?

- Oh, thank you.

- My name is Gwenny Lee.

- I'm Robert Lomax.

Hello, Robert.

- Robert.

- Yes, Robert.

- Would you like a drink?

- No, thank you.

Oh, please not draw me.

I'm too skinny.

That's why I wear long sleeves,

to hide skinny arms.

A lot of men like thin girls.

No, I have no sex appeal.

Oh, I'm sure you have.

It's better if I take my glasses off.

Only then, I bump into people.

That might have advantages.

That's how I met my friend, Chuck.

You like that name? Chuck?

It's good and sturdy.

I had a nice letter from him

when he went away.

- Would you like to read it?

- I don't think I should.

I read it, then.

"Dear Gwenny:

"Well, don't die of shock.

"I expect you will, to get a letter

after all this time.

"Anyhow, I want you to know

"I remember you

and think about you a lot.

"I sure was lucky

meeting a girl like you,

"because, well, Gwenny,

"you really are a swell girl.

"So don't die of shock."

And then he signs his name.

"Chuck."

He's very well-educated.

And obviously devoted.

Now, that proves you have sex appeal.

Maybe. You see, he wore glasses too.

Excuse me a moment.

Hello, Mee Ling.

You speak to me?

Don't you remember,

Kowloon Ferry this morning?

I think you make mistake.

I never ride ferry.

I couldn't have.

When I draw a face, I remember it.

Sure looks like you.

To Americans, all Chinese

look alike, for goodness' sake.

That's not me.

My name Suzie Wong.

I never see you before.

Leave us alone, please.

No talk, huh?

What you say?

Oh, nothing.

Sorry.

You see the girl sitting there at the bar,

with the red dress?

Yes, Suzie Wong. She my best friend.

Most popular girl in bar.

She got sex appeal.

Yes. Well, is she ever called

Mee Ling?

No. Everybody call Suzie "Suzie".

She's got a sister

she doesn't know about.

I'm here, doll.

Oh, hello, Otis.

This is Otis. Meet my friend, Robert.

- What was the name?
