Curly Sue Page #3

Synopsis: Bill Dancer and his young companion Curly Sue are the classic homeless folks with hearts of gold. Their scams are aimed not at turning a profit, but at getting enough to eat. When they scam the rich and beautiful Grey Ellison into believing she backed her Mercedes into Bill, they're only hoping for a free meal. But Grey is touched, and over the objections of her snotty fiance, insist on putting the two up for the night. As they get to know each other, Bill becomes convinced that this is where Curly Sue belongs - in a home, cared for by someone that can give her the advantages that his homeless, nomadic existence lacks. He plans to leave the young girl in the care of Grey and take off.... but Curly Sue has other ideas!

She needs to see you tomorrow,

so I told her 2:
30 pm, okay?

Fine.

Walker called. He has a dinner meeting

and probably won't come over.

But if you need to have sex,

that's what he said...

go ahead over to his place

after your dinner.

Call him and decline.

- Mr. Oxbar...

- I really have to go.

- We ain't beggars, right?

- Right.

Then what's the point

of going to find that lady again?

- Are you hungry?

- Not much.

Well, I am. There's no harm in showing

our face around her again...

to see if she'll offer another meal.

That's begging.

No, begging is asking in a pathetic fashion.

You're splitting hairs, Bill.

Hell, I'd rather sing for my supper

than sit in a parking lot.

They stink to all holy heaven.

Look, we're going to wait in the garage...

we'll look like we're doing some business,

and if she comes out...

if she feels kind, we'll take her kindness.

- And if she doesn't come out...

- We freeze our nuts off.

You don't have any nuts

to freeze off, honey.

Come on, baby. What's the matter?

This is the place. Let's go.

My lips are chapped

and I have to find my lip grease.

Women.

Now you've really killed him!

There are no broken bones,

no contusions, no abrasions.

A few lesions, not of your doing.

That wound on his forehead

is a day or two old.

I did that yesterday.

You hit him twice?

What he needs is soap...

a razor, a good meal, bed rest...

and then a good swift kick in the behind.

You're crazy to let a person like that

stay in your house.

The little girl is his daughter.

She could use a little soap, too.

This is a matter for the city...

not a single woman living alone.

I'm sure it looks worse than it is.

I appreciate your concern, but it's okay.

Sorry, I fell asleep,

seeing as how I was so extremely tired.

You'll get to go to sleep

in just a minute, okay?

- Thank you for coming up.

- Don't be silly.

This is the stuff

of 10:
00 news lead stories...

but you're over 21.

I'll sleep with my door locked.

I'm in the building. I can be here

in two seconds if you need me.

- Thanks.

- Good night, dear.

This is very excellent.

I never knew pizza was so good

when it was hot.

Think Bill would want some?

I think Bill's better off resting.

His whole life is nothing

but a thousand miles of bad road.

The doctor said he's going to be fine.

Don't tell Bill he saw a doctor.

It's against his faith.

Oh, no. That's his

afraid-to-die-alone groan.

You keep eating,

and I'll go see how he is, okay?

Okay. Tell him to hold on...

and tell him to be strong

and don't leave me.

He's going to be all right.

He's not going anywhere.

It's me.

- Where am I?

- In my apartment. I hit you with my car.
