This Is My Affair Page #2

---

You from around here?

No.

- You?

- No.

I'm leavin' town tomorrow.

Headin' north, I suppose?

I hadn't made up my mind.

Why?

The bulls are gettin' pretty tough around K.C...

I figured Minnesota'd be about your speed.

Strike!

You said it!

Why are you so curious about the fellas

I go with?

Maybe I'm jealous.

Well you needn't be.

They've all gone back east for their health.

I'm figuring on pulling out, too.

As soon as I get the fare!

Which way, baby?

St. Paul.

That dump!

Dump, nothin'!...

Say there's a REAL town for ya.

Wide open... and plenty of protection.

"Live and let live"...

that's their motto.

So long as you mind

your own business.

Hey!... fix these fellas up with a star table, will ya!

Honey... this is Jock Ramsay!

Well, well... I'm glad to meet you.

Hi ya, Jock old boy!

Well, well, well!

Very funny!

Tony... show these gentlemen

to a front seat, will ya?

- This way, please.

- See you around, Jock.

Hi ya, Mack!

- Great place, here!

- Glad you like it.

Shake hands with Joe Patrick... Joe...

Bat Duryea... the fellow I was telling you,

owns the place.

- Pleased to meet you Mr Patrick

- Thanks, same here.

- See you all later.

- Oh... we'll be around.

Hey, Ed... come on over.

- Glad to see you.

- Hi, Alec!

How they treating you there, fella?

Ask Ed... he's got those cards framed.

Just a little luck, my boy.

Just a little luck.

Frank... looks like Ed's got himself

a new sucker.

Yeah!... What a sucker!

For the last week they've been playin' poker...

with Ed's cards.

You wouldn't believe it

lookin' at this place...

The two fellas that own it were running

a 2-bit crap game back of Sam's barber shop,

less than 3 months ago.

If they were running a 2-bit crap game,

how did they get all this?

What's the difference... they got it.

Alec, me and you ought to get us a printing press

and make us some dough ourselves.

You said it!

Hello boys, going in for society?

- Hello, Lil... Oh you kid!

- Gee, Lil, you're looking swell!

Welcome to the Capitol, boys.

Remember the name, Capitol.

Waiter... some champagne

for these gentlemen.

Or did you boys just come

to look at the girls?

- Anything you say, Lil.

- Great place you got here.

Thanks... I had to give St Paul

some excuse for living.

Must have the lollapalooza!

Greatest place west of little old "Chi"!

Up to and including

the stockyards.

I don't believe

I've had the pleasure...

Friend of mine... Joe Patrick...

Lil Duryea.

Glad to meet you, Miss Duryea.

If Ed says you're a friend,

you're alright with me.

Just let me know if they don't treat you right,

Mr Patrick.

Pardon me, there are some people over there

I'd like to shake hands with
