Valentino Page #2

I have two left feet.

I think you are too kind.

I could dance all night with you.

In your arms I can forget for a moment

that I am but a slave -

everyone's to command

by the lift of an eyebrow.

Oh, I can't bear to share you

with anyone.

Come to me tonight.

Nothing would give me greater pleasure...

...if the health of my poor widowed mother

would permit it.

You dear, sweet boy.

A bientot, ma belle madonna

de la cafe triste.

Would Madam honour me

with the next dance?

Hmm!

Rudy, I've been thinking about

what you said.

If I leave him, he'll kill me.

He would never dare to touch

the wife of Rudolpho Valentino.

I have considered it -

you must divorce him.

Oh, Rudy, if only I could.

I know he's cheating on me

with every chorine in town,

but anyone crazy enough

to testify against him

is going to end up as a hole

in the East River.

I will testify.

Valentino is not afraid.

That's wonderful of you, Rudy,

but how would you get the dirt on him?

That won't be difficult. I...

No more tea time hops with dagos

for you, baby. Blow, pretty boy.

- The music is not quite over, Signore.

- It is for you, sweetheart.

Now you go straighten up your lipstick

before you're one gimp guinea.

- Jack...

- Shut up, goddamnit!

Waltzing with wops is one thing,

but he's a pansy.

Sir! I'm an artist,

a professional dancer.

You know, I say any guy who dances

with another guy is a powder puff.

- You got that, wop?

- I didn't tell him.

Ah, Billie!

Someone left the stable door open.

Then quit horsing around

with the customers.

You're fired. Get off the floor.

You know,

there ought to be a law

stopping you lounge lizards

from sneaking into this country.

Here, get yourself a bowl of spaghetti.

Let's go.

Let's get out of here.

Hey, waiter!

Show me to the best table.

I have just become a customer.

(Moaning)

(Door opens)

- Watch the birdie!

- (Screams)

I just waited an watched.

I have known about them

for some time now, Bianca, dear,

but I kept it from you

for fear of hurting you.

We are all creatures of habit.

Soon you'll be free of him.

Oh, thank you.

- How do you like it? Al dente?

- Oh, Rudy, any way you like.

Oh, it's such a relief.

If you only knew what I've been through.

He frightens me.

Right after the divorce we must go away -

somewhere I'll be safe.

In California, on my farm.

- There you'll be safe.

- That farm's a dream.

Already in one year I've saved $800,

and that is no dream.

Soon we'll have one just like that.

And there's my diploma of agriculture

to prove it.

How about your mama's steamship ticket?

You're saving up for that, too, remember?

It won't be expensive.

I owe it to her.
