You and Me Page #3

---

Okay, Joe. Don't get sore.

Sure you don't want me to go with you

to the bus station or anything?

Thanks, I got something to attend to

before I go.

I fixed up a couple of letters

for you to take along.

Thanks.

Well, they may help.

I hate to see you leave, Joe.

It isn't because anyone's found out

about you, is it?

No, sir.

Everybody's been swell.

California's a long way off.

I take it then that your reason

is something personal.

Yes, sir.

That's it, it's something personal.

Mr. Morris, look.

I wanna thank you, see.

When anyone asks me now where I worked last,

I don't turn around and walk out.

You're supposed to be a very

dangerous character.

They told me that a man with your record

would never go straight.

I'm glad that you proved them wrong.

Keep it up, kid.

I know it hasn't been easy.

Good-bye, Joe.

Remember...

you can always come back.

Hello, Joe.

Hello, Mickey.

You got a minute?

No.

Now, listen, Joe. I got a proposition

oughta interest a smart guy like you.

I'm leaving town tonight.

I figured you wouldn't stick to no

8 o'clock job much longer.

What are you gonna do?

Get another 8 o'clock job.

Then why the trip?

They tell me the climate

will do me good.

Everything grows big out there.

Yeah? Well don't get too big

for your old friends, Joe.

We might not like it.

That'll be too bad.

Hello.

Hello.

Been waiting long?

Seems like days.

Where's your grip?

Oh, I checked it at the bus station.

I've been looking at that again.

Just imagine some girls will go in there

and buy it and think nothing of it.

Just smell 'em, isn't it?

Joe, it's Hour of Ecstasy.

Is it?

Joe... you just don't understand, I guess.

There isn't anything in the world

can build a girl up like good perfume.

It does something for her soul, kind of.

See?

No.

It must be very simple to be a man.

Would you like to be one?

No!

Uh... yes, I don't know.

Sometimes I think it would be easier

to be a man.

But then, women are somewhat...

You don't think very much of women,

do you?

I never did.

Before.

I'll never forget the time you stayed up

all night to tell me not to get discouraged.

After you found out I'd been in jail.

I didn't find out. You told me.

I never told anybody else.

Why did you tell me?

I could never believe that a fellow

and a girl could be friends like this.

It is unusual.

Where are we heading?

I don't know. I thought you knew.

What do you say we go

and dance around once?

I'd love to.

Let's go.

It may sound funny, but I get a kick out of

going into a place like this.

There was a time that I couldn't.

Against parole rules.

No drinking...

even couldn't go where they served it
