Kid Galahad Page #6

Go down the road, get the horse.

I'll tell you what: Let's try one more time.

If it don't go, we'll get the horse. Okay?

All right, pull.

Horses, huh?

- Hello, Willy.

- Rose.

What goes on? I don't get it.

I took an early train

and then a taxi from the station.

But why? You know I don't want you

hanging around here.

It's not the same as when Pop was alive.

You're not a kid anymore.

Willy, please.

I came up because of what you asked me

on the phone the other day.

- The $200.

- Oh, yeah.

I've been kind of expecting it,

but I figured maybe the mail was slow.

I didn't mail it, Willy.

The more I thought about it,

the more I realized...

that it wasn't the money going down

a rathole, like the Republicans say.

- It was the principle.

- What are you talking about?

I had a talk with Mr. Provardis.

He's in cost accounting at the store.

- Mr. Provardis said for what...

- Mr. Provardis said...

Mr. Provardis said for what you're charging

up here a week, just room and board...

- it's impossible not to make money.

- I don't care what...

Actually, talking with Mr. Provardis,

I decided what we need up here...

- is a complete reorganization...

- Now, wait a minute...

- Don't shout.

- Reorganization. Rose, honey...

Be patient. The fact is...

you couldn't reorganize the part in your hair

unless I drew you a map.

Now the thing for you to do...

while I'm in a nice mood about it,

is to pick up the phone...

and call another cab. That way you

won't miss your afternoon train back.

I'm not going back, Willy.

I took a leave of absence from the store.

- But you can't stay up here.

- I'm sorry.

- I feel I have an obligation.

- You have a what?

Obligation. I own 50% of this place.

- So what?

- Besides, I'm your sister.

So it won't do any good for you

to shout at me.

Look, Rose, baby, let me explain it to you.

How do you like it?

I don't know. What are you gonna do

with that, besides wear it for Halloween?

- It could be beautiful, Lew.

- Beautiful?

Come on, kid,

you haven't taken that many punches.

You just don't know

character when you see it.

This thing has got more character than

anything I've ever seen.

Oh, now it's got character.

I'll be doggoned, a flower vase.

Look at that, Lew.

You think people were different

in those days, huh?

I doubt it.

We were the same kind of stinkers then,

just like now.

What do you expect to come up with now,

a homemade cake?

Don't bother taking it off.

As I was trying to say about the $200, Willy.

It's not as if I was trying to hold out

on my own brother.

I told you it was an emergency, didn't I?

Now look, this...

Dolly, this is my kid sister, Rose.

Rose, this is Miss...
