Will you cut it out? O'Hara, stop!

That's enough. Stop it!

Did you hear what he said?

You need to apologize

instead of yelling at me.

Take it easy.

You wanna get hurt?

- You crazy? Trying to hit a civilian?

- The party's over.

You bet it is.

- I don't wanna be put off-limits.

- Lf anybody was off-limits, he was.

I'd be careful. He's an important

person on this island.

He's busted a lot of people

who tried to stand up against him.

He can buy and sell

anything or anybody.

I'd try not to get his attention.

He'd better not attract mine!

- I never want to know anyone like him.

- Break it up before he shuts me down.

We were just warming up.

- Good night.

- Good night.

Come on, hurry up.

What a gal, huh?

- See you.

- What a gal.

- Where you going?

- To see her.

- You just saw her.

- Again.

- Hurry up. You guys wait outside.

- Sadie? Sadie?

- Forget something?

- Yeah. To say good night personally.

I was kind of loaded

when I roughed him up.

Kind of?

Did I say something I shouldn't?

- Perfect gentleman.

- Okay, that's all I wanna know.

- Good night.

- Good night.

- Come on, will you?

- Sadie?

What did you forget?

Tomorrow I'm off duty at 10.

Wanna go swimming if it don't rain?

- Supposing it does?

- I'd still pick you up.

That's what I figured.

- Get out before you get me in trouble.

- Did I say something I shouldn't have?

Mr. Horn?

Mr. Horn?

Did the rain cool you off, mister?

Why did you bust in?

He really could have let you have it.

I had no other choice.

What are you talking about?

Who was bothering you?

I can't let you carry on as you wish.

Just what do you mean by that?

- You lived in Honolulu, didn't you?

- Yeah, what about it?

What did you do there?

- I had a job!

- What kind of a job?

Part of the time, I sang.

- My voice is all right.

- Where did you work?

- Where did I sing?

- Where did you work in Honolulu?

Lots of places.

What places?

Nightclubs, mostly.

- What nightclubs?

- All kinds.

- Why all these questions?

- Why did you leave Honolulu?

For a change. I've got

a job waiting in New Caledonia.

For a change? I'll tell you why.

Why all the attention?

- You're going to continue your trade.

- What are you saying?

It's why you left Honolulu.

You're a prostitute!

What?! Who do you think you are?

You're a dirty rotten liar!

- I'll give you a chance.

- Where do you get off?

A chance to find salvation.

- A priest's collar wouldn't fit you!

- Insults won't help.

I've listened. Now, you listen!

Lay off, or I'll show you what

it means when I get mad!

How do you like that no-good louse?

If he starts that stuff again,

I'll really tell him off!

I'll spit in his eye!
