Blood Money Page #4

Synopsis: Bill Bailey is a Los Angeles bail bondsman who lives in a world of complete, casual corruption, where all he has to do is pick up the phone to get the charges against a client dismissed. He falls in love with slumming socialite who bluntly and startlingly declares her sexual preferences with this immortal line: "If I could find a man who would be my master and give me a good thrashing, I'd follow him around like a dog on a leash."

Hell, I'm afraid I'm

a little bit stuck, Ruby.

You'll get over it.

Don't say I didn't tell you.

Don't let her make a fool of you, Bill.

D'you ever know a woman

who made a fool of me?

See you back later, Jessica.

This is funny, me telling you

not to let anyone make a fool of you.

and I'm the fool for still

being in love with you.

Remember when you said

you'd spoil me for all other men?

I laughed to myself.

Now I'm laughing at myself.

'Cos you have.

Ruby, I'll admit

this girl's got me down.

She's different.

Unusual.

I don't want to lie to you, or go behind

your back. That's why I'm telling you.

But nobody could ever take your place

with me. You know that.

If you were dying and needed a blood

transfusion. I'd be the first to give it

So the only way we can get together

is to have a blood transfusion.

This has been a swell visit.

Don't get nasty and spoilt.

Why not snap out of it

and take me to a show?

I can't.

I'm going to a lua

over at Elaine's house.

Is that what they call it in society?

A lua is a feast in Hawaii.

Elaine's father is the Vice President of

the Honolulu Pineapple Company.

And owns a plantation over there.

I remember when you thought

a hamburger sandwich was a banquet.

And you called a dinner, a feed.

If you could forget

like you can remember...

we could be swell friends.

I wish I could forget

all the nice things about you.

And remember only

the mean things you've done to me.

But I can't.

I remember the grand things about you.

You've outgrown me, Ruby.

You know people do outgrow

each other, just like they do clothes.

That's true, Bill.

And it usually begins with the hat.

Come to me my melancholy...

Baby

Cuddle up...

Cuddle up and don't be blue

Goodbye.

Bye.

All your fears and foolish fancies...

Maybe

Because you see dear

I'm in love with you

Every cloud must have a silver lining.

You've got to watch and wait

for that old sun

To come through

Smile my honey dear

- Bill, give me a drink.

Let me kiss away your tear

Or else you'll have me melancholy too

- This song kills me.

Jessica!

Yes, Miss Ruby?

Call the florist.

I want this room

filled with flowers.

We had another losing

in the gambling home tonight.

When it rains it pours.

Well, well, a stranger among us.

Drop the kidding Ruby,

this is serious.

- Where's your brother?

- Just going to see him now.

- He's in trouble.

- Then you know about it?

About what?

- The bank robbery.

- Why don't you lay off the kid?

Every time somebody steals something

they blame it on him.

And two times they've proved it.

And twenty times they didn't.

The best thing for him to do is

to give himself up and go out on bail.
