Curly Sue Page #5

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!

- Hi.

- You okay?

- Yeah, I'm fine.

I mean, I feel like I got hit by a car.

You got hit by a car.

- You okay?

- Yeah.

Come here.

What's the matter, baby?

I've never slept by myself

since I was a baby.

You'll love it.

You don't get kicked so much.

But what if I get scared?

There's no reason to be scared.

Know why?

Because when you're alone...

angels come to the window.

You open it up...

they float into the room over your bed.

And if you're asleep...

they'll come down...

and kiss your eyelids...

and they give you the sweetest,

most wonderful dreams you'll ever have.

- Is this true?

- Sure, it's true.

You sure?

Yeah. Now, come here and give me a hug.

Come on.

- I love you, Bill.

- Oh, baby.

I love you, too, honey.

You know, we're very lucky today.

- You go to bed.

- Okay.

- All right? Get some rest.

- Okay.

Go on.

We have now come to the end

of our program day...

and we'll join you tomorrow

at the regular time. Good night.

Play ball.

Shoot, she's mad.

- You're nuts!

- Will you keep your voice down?

Am I hallucinating?

You have two derelicts in your apartment.

- It's a long story.

- And a weird one...

which I'm stopping

as soon I can focus my eyes.

I'm sorry I hit you. I didn't recognize you.

That speaks well for our relationship.

I was ripped from my sleep

by a screaming child...

That damn urchin

gave me a pop you wouldn't believe.

Knuckle punch, in the nose.

I asked you to keep your voice down!

I told you last night you were itching for it,

buying those two food.

How the hell did they end up here?

I hit him with my car again.

Exactly what time

were you born yesterday?

It's crazy, but it's true.

Did you ever think that this monkey

is throwing himself in front of your car?

Jig's up, Bill.

You are an educated woman

in a position of responsibility...

in major law firm,

making a tremendous living.

What happened to you?

What caused you

to invite vagabonds into your home?

I'm not stupid!

I had my bedroom door locked.

Oh, then you were perfectly safe.

I didn't sense any danger.

If I had, I wouldn't have done it.

No danger? I got slugged twice

in five seconds!

That was an accident!

I'm sure when you got into bed

you scared the hell out of Curly Sue.

Curly Sue? That's cute!

What is she, the lost Stooge?

I don't know what the hell

is going on here...

and I can't explain so you'd understand.

English, French, Hebrew, Mandarin,

it'd be the same.

You're nuts!

And you're abusive and insensitive!

Don't get holy because

you've endangered your life for no reason!

You can let yourself out.

No! I'm not leaving you here alone

with them in the house. No way, babe.

Then sleep on the sofa.
