My Sister Eileen Page #3

and we cant afford two apartments.

Im out of work right now.

So when Helens at work, I sleep...

and then when she sleeps,

I do the housework.

We dont see much of each other,

so we get along just great.

I can see you girls still think

thats a little strange?

- Only because were from Ohio.

- Yeah. I guess that would make a difference.

- Violet was from Brooklyn.

- Whos Violet?

She had this studio

before they started blasting for the subway.

- It was bad for business.

- Business?

Yeah. She read palms or something.

Thanks a million about the laundry.

Ill see you tomorrow. Goodnight.

What was that all about?

I dont know.

- But he seemed very nice.

- He would. Hes a man.

Everythings so convenient in this dungeon.

- Oh, boy.

- I know what you mean.

I could swear I just put out the lights.

Theres a street lamp

shining right in the window.

Well have to pull the curtains.

Were practically sleeping in the street.

Yeah, we sure cant close the windows.

Wed suffocate.

Yeah.

- Whats the matter?

- This bed.

They are kind of hard, arent they?

Hard? We could do better at the morgue.

Lets go to sleep.

Maybe we can have

a nice, pleasant nightmare.

- We got a big day ahead of us tomorrow.

- Thats right.

- Good night, honey.

- Good night.

What was that?

Now what?

- Thats one way to keep cool.

- Ruth, youre drenched.

Here, let me get you a towel.

Get away from there.

- Pete, look. Girls.

- Go away! You heard me.

- Beat it, you drunken goons!

- Now, please, madam.

All we were doing was singing.

Since when is it a crime to sing?

Youre certainly not

getting into the spirit of things, madam.

Im not in the mood

and stop calling me madam!

- Isnt she lovely, Pete?

- She certainly is.

You get away from there.

Now, go on, go away.

Break it up!

- I was saying good night...

- Good night, ladies.

You heard them. Out.

Good night, ladies.

- Thank you very much, Officer.

- Yes. Were so glad you came by.

- Ill bet you are.

- There arent any shades on the window...

And theres a light

shining through the window.

- Could you do something about that?

- Sure, llI put a shade on it.

- You kids new in the neighbourhood?

- We just moved in this afternoon.

If youre smart, youll move out tomorrow.

I dont go for this kind of stuff on my beat.

- What did he mean by that?

- Evidently, this studio has a bad reputation.

Violet must have been reading palms

without a licence.

- I dont think I can take 30 days of this.

- Everythings gonna be all right.

- Its all my fault. If I hadnt of insisted on...

- It isnt your fault.

...staying here, we couldve gone to a hotel...

- Good morning, Wreck. Im home.
