Dead End Page #4

My big brother was here,

you wouldn't do that.

Bang you on the head,

that's what he'd do.

Bust your nose

and give you a blinker, that's what.

Hey, Dippy.

Hey, Sharpie, come here.

All right.

- Hey, hey, hey.

- Watch it, boys.

What's the matter here?

It's those horrible children.

I see them from above.

Philip didn't want to wait

for me, Mr. Griswald.

Aw, shut up,

you big bag o' wind.

You try to hit him...

Go get him the army and navy

for a bodyguard.

Next time, try hitting them back.

They're your age.

If they try to fight, fight back.

Come here, guys.

Here's how we're gonna get

that lump of mush.

Hey, fellas, watch.

Hey, crumb, duck.

Hey, lady. Has your kitchen stove

got diamonds in it like that kid makes out?

- No.

- No.

Hey, guys, let's grab a dip.

- I don't feel like it.

- Hey, what's that?

- Oh, her? Friend of Dave's.

- No.

Yeah. Comes to see him all the time.

Hey, wait for me, fellas, will ya?

Good morning.

Good morning.

You're late.

- I know. I meant to be.

- Why?

Oh, nothing.

I don't like it when you're late.

I wish we had

somewhere else to meet.

I had fun last night.

I never knew there were so many

places to go that didn't cost anything.

I know 'em all.

I always go to the smart places

and have a dull time.

But I had fun with you.

I always have fun with you.

Fun for the first time in years.

Do you like him?

Yes, I like him.

I was pretty hard up when I met him,

and tired of being hard up.

He's been good to me.

That's his boat, isn't it?

It's a beauty. You know,

when I was a kid,

I used to make boats

and sail them here on the river.

Looks like it's getting ready

to make a trip.

- When?

- I don't know. I don't know.

You'll be going with him, won't you?

Yes...

No, I don't know.

He wants me to go.

He wants to marry me now.

But I'm not in love with him.

I haven't even told him I was.

But I'm frightened

of being poor again.

I hate what it does to people.

I saw what it did to my family and to me.

Yes, I don't blame you.

It's something to be scared of.

But...

Look, Kay,

I'm to phone Del Block this afternoon.

That's Carter and Block.

I've been trying to get a job

with them for a long while.

I left some of my drawings there,

and they liked them.

Well, two of their draftsmen are going

on a vacation. There might be something.

It wouldn't pay very much, but...

Why am I talking like this?

I'm sorry you're going away.

I haven't thought about the trip much.

I kept pushing it off because...

well, I suppose because of you.

We've never talked

about ourselves before,

but I've thought about us a lot.

Haven't you?

I've tried not to.

- Car's waiting, Miss Burton.
