- Oh, he has to have his exercise.

Sure, I'm taking my exercise!

Cut it out, I tell ya.

Oh, thanks for bringing my bag.

By the way, did you-

- did you leave me?

- Leave ya?

- Yeah.

- What do you mean?

I mean last night.

I had a good time, hmm?

You did.

Then you and that bait barge guy.

And I liked everybody?

Old friends, good time?

Sure. Hey, listen.

Let's blow out of this jerk town.

I know a fella. We can get a ride north,

Frisco. Tonight. A truck.

All the time from

the Red Dot to the...

chop suey joint we-

we had a good time together?

Sure.

Don't you remember anything?

Sure. Sure, I remember.

It was a swell party.

When we do it, we do it right.

Listen, ya big slob.

We gonna grab that truck or not?

- Sure. Why not?

- But I mean it.

Okay. Okay.

Up north-

San Francisco or Portland-

you get a good dock job.

It's always good for him

when I get a good job. Eh, Tiny?

What do you mean?

Don't I work?

Oh, you work hard.

Tiny stands in line hours.

Hard work. But the job

is always for me, not for him.

- What are you doing? Kidding me?

- Kidding? Why?

Listen.

That truck leaves tonight at 10:00.

- Okay. I'll be there. Where?

- Outside here.

- I'll be here.

- All right.

I don't know whether you're kidding or not,

but don't forget this.

It's always me that gets you out of trouble.

Every time.

That's right.

I couldn't make a move without my Tiny.

Well, thanks for the good deed.

That towel hurt.

- Oh, it's nothing. Nothing at all.

- Oh.

Don't take the good part

away by saying that.

You don't have to be ashamed.

What do you want me to do?

Take a bow?

This world.

You know, the people in this world,

when they do a good thing...

maybe it would be better if they...

took a bow every time.

Hey.

This fellow outside is charging me

for two nights when I only stayed one.

So I guess this is worth about, uh...

15 cents, huh?

Looks like a couple of dollars to me.

Two dollars?

That's better.

You see, when I do a good thing,

it's pretty good...

and when I do a bad thing,

it's pretty darn bad.

Huh? Come on.

Well, that's what makes horse racing.

I like to hear you talk, Nutsy.

You have ideas.

What's that girl doing?

- What girl?

- Over there.

She's going in the water dressed!

Come back here!

Come back!

- Help! Help!

- It's over there.

Help! Help! Help!

- Help!

- Somebody help!

- Help!

- Hey!

Help!

- Oh, I think she's coming to.

- Try again.

- How is she?

- She's okay, or will be...

if we can get her to hold on

to a little of this brandy.

Give me.

Go on, baby.

Go on. Take it.

- Go on.

- Who says so?

Listen, you. You've caused enough trouble

for one night. Take it!

Go on. Take it.
