Love Me or Leave Me Page #6

without me?

No.

It's just that I'm so tired.

No. Not this time, Ruthie.

That's all over.

What're you talking about?

About the way you brush me off.

The way you stall me.

And don't think

I didn't feel ridiculous at times.

In front of Georgie, even.

- Just because...

- I didn't get sore.

Tell the truth. Did I ever get sore?

Even about not going to Florida?

You wanted to see how far you could get.

Fine. I don't blame you, I give you credit.

But that's all.

I understand.

You got me a break and now...

All right.

I'll go with you.

Now you're talking, baby.

- And then you'll never see me again.

- Why?

Because that makes me a tramp...

and I'm not a tramp,

no matter what you think.

Ruthie, you're wrong.

Listen, I'll be honest with you.

When we first started up together,

I figured, you know...

a pickup, why not? Didn't mean nothing.

But lately a change come over me,

and I wanna do things for you. I'm anxious.

That's what I was hoping for.

That you would get to care about

what happened to me. But you don't.

What do you mean, I don't?

I'll show you you're out of your head.

You know that big fancy joint

where Helen Terral is singing?

The Oval Room?

Who do you think I had here tonight

taking a gander at you?

Just the owner, that's all.

Yeah, a close personal pal.

We're getting together Monday

to chew it over.

Now, does that sound like

I think you're a... What you said?

You got no idea the plans I've got.

If I go to Al Gaxley's for the weekend.

Well, what do you want of me? I'm human.

I'm stuck on you.

Thank you, Marty.

Now let me be honest with you, too.

In the time I've known you,

you've become more important to me...

than anyone else. And I like you.

But I'm not stuck on you.

Maybe it's because getting someplace

is such a big thing to me.

It seems as if I don't have room

for anything else. Not yet, anyway.

Can you understand that?

Yeah, sure, Ruthie...

but when?

I don't know.

If you still want me to go with you,

give me a minute and I'll get dressed.

Take yourself the minute.

We'll go out and get a bite to eat.

You'll never be sorry.

What do you mean? I'm sorry already.

I'll wait for you out in the car.

Only hurry up.

What a day I've had.

My feet are killing me.

We're going downtown

to get a bite to eat.

Call the restaurant and tell them

to get the champagne ready.

She don't wanna go away with you?

I don't want her to go!

How do you like that?

Bay Cliff ain't the right kind of a place

for a girl like her.

- She was great tonight, huh? A knockout.

- Great.

Here. A little extra.

You backed her up good. Go on, take it.

Get yourself a dame.

Have a big time on me.
