Frankie and Johnny Page #4

---

after I pretty up for him.

Are you really going to

make me a star, Mr Braden?

It's not me that'll do it, Mitzi.

It's your talent.

- I do have talent, don't I?

- You're loaded with it.

Hey, Boss. You got one girl too many.

Nellie Bly just came aboard.

When you've got a message

like that, whisper.

Nellie's in the casino, waiting for you.

She doesn't know about you and Mitzi.

It's happened to me again?

I don't get my name in lights?

- You don't have the talent, Mitzi.

- But a minute ago you said...

The only woman who ever gave me

bubbles like that champagne is back.

And she's funny.

She thinks three is a crowd.

Why, you...!

Ooh!

Hi, Mitzi.

The boss in a bad mood again?

Bad? He never felt better.

His favourite girl came back.

I thought you were.

I just found out

I've been understudying the part.

In my next life I hope I'm not a girl.

I could never go through that again.

- 26, black, even.

- Let's try another table.

- All blondes. I can't go against Zolita.

- You're too darned particular.

- The gypsy said a beautiful redhead.

- Then we're wasting our time here.

- Seven blondes. Not one redhead.

- Seven.

- That's a hunch bet if ever I heard one.

- I'll tell the gypsy on you.

- Place your bets.

- On seven.

- Oh, no, lady! That's the kiss of death.

- I'm sorry.

- Off seven.

- Hold it. Maybe that's your lucky redhead.

- Are you?

- The action's over there.

No more bets.

Seven! A winner. Red.

35 times 20...

You would've won 700 bucks!

If she can do it once, she can do it again.

- Are you a real redhead?

- I'm a real everything.

- What's your lucky number?

- One. One at a time.

One it is. Would you mind

giving 'em your magic touch?

Just for luck.

- You better get the bottom one too.

- Place your bets!

By this time tomorrow,

this ship should be the SS Johnny.

- What's your name, Lucky?

- Nellie Bly.

- Welcome aboard.

- That's it! Bly!

I need a name to rhyme with "eye" for

a song I'm writing. Now I got it. Nellie Bly!

- You'll be famous in a song.

- I've tried every other way.

I don't even have to look.

I know it's gonna be number one.

One, red.

- Maybe that gypsy knew something!

- Maybe? My future just got here!

One hundred...

- two hundred...

- Place your bets.

...three hundred...

- It's the break I've been wait...

...four hundred...

- Hey, where'd she go?

- What about these chips?

- I'll be right back.

Nellie, it's been a long year.

You never looked better.

You have. Who's been

keeping you up nights?

Who can remember names?

- What kind of a kiss is that?

- We are not starting where we left off.

I like a girl who remembers

the good things in life.
