A Hole in the Head Page #5

How about that?

- Hey, you be sure to call me now.

- Sweetie.

I'm sorry,

but you don't know how long I've...

Jerry Marks, of all people.

This may be just the thing I needed.

Ten million dollars worth of hotels

he bought. What a man.

Hey! Every hour, call the Fontainebleau

and keep trying to get Mr Marks.

- You bet.

- Sally? Don't give up.

- We may come up with a little money yet.

- About time.

Today I may not have a thing at all

Except perhaps a dream or two...

Did you hear what he said?

"Call me up," he says, "Tony".

Disneyland.

Why didn't I think about that before?

That's his kind of an idea.

He'll love the idea.

Well, why don't you ask Mr Marks to lend

you the money instead of Uncle Mario?

Oh, don't be ridiculous. Let me give you

a few pointers about the world.

The first thing

you gotta learn is to put up a big front.

Now take me for instance. I jump

in my Cadillac, I drive down to see him.

I say "Hello, Jerry." He says "Hello, Tony."

He says "What's doing?"

"I got a big hotel." Big shot.

I say "I got a proposition for you."

He says "Tell me."

Now suppose I go down there,

I sell the Cadillac, and I go by jitney bus.

I walk in and say "Jerry."

He says "What's doing, Tony?"

"I'm being evicted. Lend me some

money." "Scram, bum, who needs you?"

The same person,

the same nothing in my pocket,

except that if I put up a front,

he listens to me.

If I don't put up a front, out.

You remember that.

Well, Pop,

where are we gonna get the money then?

Why don't you get off my...

- Victor Mature.

- What?

The guy in the picture.

The caveman. He lived in a cave.

- Boy.

- It was a beautiful picture.

Didn't I have this shirt on before?

You trick me into wearing dirty shirts.

- Will you tell me something?

- Sure, what?

The first lightweight champion

to hold three crowns.

- For $1 million?

- For $1 million.

- Greta Garbo.

- (Ally laughs)

Nobody's ever gonna take you

away from me. Never, never, never.

Let's go for a drive. The speedometer's

all nines and it's ready to go to zero.

What are we gonna do? Leave the boy

in that place till he gets sick, maybe dies?

What's he got, bellyache?

Such a big tragedy!

Are you disappointed

he hasn't got a hernia?

If anything happens to that child, you

know who I'll hold responsible? You.

All right, today he's got a stomachache,

tomorrow appendicitis.

Pa, look. I got it.

Genius.

I'll bring him here.

I'll love taking care of a little boy again.

You out of your mind? "I'm gonna

walk out." Who'll watch the store?

- The store won't run away. Julius is here.

- Julius?

Very nice. You talk about him

like he's an l-don't-know-what.

In the house he's my son.
