Pennies from Heaven Page #3

...in my soul.

I want to talk to you.

Please...

...let me talk with you.

Eileen!

Who's that?

My brother.

I gotta talk to you.

Eileen, come here!

I don't even know who you are.

Arthur.

I'm Arthur...

...and I love you.

We're never gonna get out

of this Depression.

The hours I put in, door-to-door,

for nothing, peanuts...

...selling what is a very good set

of brushes.

-It's the goddamn territory.

-They just slam the door in your face.

Yeah, it's the territory.

There's no doubt about it.

We'd all be smarter bumming the roads.

What do you say, Arthur?

Hard times, ain't it, Arthur?

I'm sorry. What'd you say?

-I don't suppose you're doing too well.

-Not doing very well?

Hey, wake up, old buddy.

I'm doing very well.

Very, very well, indeed-y.

-Heading for the cuckoo house, are you?

-Me?

No chance.

I'll tell you guys something.

Everybody who ever lived in the entire

history of these here United States...

...would want to be me

if they knew what I felt like inside.

-What's wrong?

-That's the trouble with you guys.

You walk around with dirt and ash

in your eyeballs.

You just can't begin to see

what a fantastic world it is we live in.

Come on, get your goddamn chins up

off the floor.

It's beautiful.

It is.

Shining.

The whole place is shining.

Can't you see it?

Don't you feel it?

-Sounds like a crate of eggs to me.

-Sliced bologna, more like it.

Yeah, it would to you, Ed, wouldn't it?

What do you mean?

Because you don't know

the young lady in question, do you?

It's impossible to explain.

Not the sort of thing

you can put into words.

Oh, yes, it is.

Did you get your hand up her skirt, Arthur?

You lay her in the back seat?

Has she got big tits?

-Son of a b*tch!

-Hey, easy! Easy! Come on!

Hey, he was kidding!

Everything I've ever dreamed of,

hoped for or longed for...

...everything deep inside me...

...here in my heart.

She's everything.

"And so the handsome prince

stepped out from the trees...

...and looked up at the tiny window

at the top of the tall, tall tower...

...that had no door.

'Rapunzel, Rapunzel,' he called.

'Let down your hair.'

And thinking it was the old witch...

...Rapunzel let down her hair.

Long, shining, golden hair...

...all the way down, down, down

to the ground."

And....

-And then....

-The prince climbed up.

Just as he had seen the old witch do.

"But when he came to the window,

Rapunzel stepped back in fear.

Oh, my, she was scared.

She had never seen a man before."

Oh, yes, some of you boys can laugh.

But his face was so nice...

...and his eyes were so kind...

...and his voice was so gentle.

Quiet!

Oh, no, it's Mr. Warner.

Never have I heard such a commotion!
