Man's Castle Page #4

Synopsis: 12 million Americans are out of work. Trina is homeless and hungry when Bill takes her under his wing, showing her a squatter's camp where she can live. She's soon in love with him, making a castle for him inside a shack; but he's bluff, gruff, and a "bindlestiff," a guy who can't stay put. When Trina tells Bill she's pregnant, he's ready to jump a freight train and move on, but first he wants to leave Trina with some money, so he partners up with Bragg, the camp's louse (who's been eyeing Trina), to rob a toy manufacturer. He's shot and the cops are closing in: does he have any options?

A year? You think I'm going to hang

around this town for a year?

I never plan for more than 30 days. I've

been hanging round here to long as it is.

It's such a beautiful all-round kind of stove.

- Forget it.

But we could start with one of the small

ones. By paying only 2 dollars down..

Forget it!

What's for supper tonight?

Stew.

- No kidding.

Go on home.

Bill.

Go on home.

Hey Bragg.

I've been looking for you. Where's that

two bucks you owe me?

What are you hounding me for?

It's only a week's..

I know Flossy. It don't pay to stall me.

- Stall you?

Well, I've been working my head off

trying to get the dough to pay you back.

I'm working right now.

- You don't look it. What kind of work?

Serving a summons. What I mean is,

trying to serve a summons.

You get two bucks a go, this one's so

tough there's a bonus goes with it.

Ten bucks for this one.

Well, why don't you serve it and

get your money?

Why don't I? What do you suppose I've

been trying to do for three days?

It's for a dame in a show.

You can't get to her.

What do you mean you can't get to her?

- She's got a bodyguard.

What do you have to do with the summons?

- Just hand it to the party it's made out for.

Let me see it.

For handing this hunk of paper to a dame,

you get ten bucks?

Cash!

- And you can't do it?

I ain't the only one. I'm the third guy

that's tried this week.

Ten bucks, huh?

Suppose I serve it for you, I could

use five bucks. Will you split?

I tell you it's impossible.

You can't get to her.

She's got a bunch of gorillas around her

day and night.

But will you split?

Sure, but you can't get to her.

Well, it's great, it's grand.

Something unexpected always has the

best effect, so try to understand.

And cut out your promises baby,

and give me a big surprise.

Do what your mama says baby.

Kiss me and then..

Kiss me again.

Your love has got that.. ooh.. to it.

Oh how it satisfies.

I'm used to petting, but when you do it,

oh surprise.

Oh come a little closer dear,

tell me what I want to hear.

You could never over-sell me,

when you tell me those little white lies.

Baby, you've got me hoping and steaming,

please let me shut my eyes.

So when I open them,

I start screaming ahhhh! Surprise!

Oh put out your promises, baby,

give me that big surprise.

Do what your mama says, baby.

You're out of school, oh kiss me, my fool.

Your love has got that.. ooh.. to it.

Oh, how it satisfies.

Now I'm used to petting, but when

you do it.. oh surprise.

Come a little closer dear.

Tell me what I want to hear,

you can never over-sell me.

When you tell me those little, white lies.

Oh baby, you've got me
