Rambling Rose Page #4

something else. He scares me.

You can't fool around with him.

Not with that man.

If I ever do that again,

he'll fire me.

Can I see what nipple looks like?

Buddy, what has come over you?

A child like you, asking such things.

I'm curious, Rose.

Buddy, get your hand away. Quit it!

Get your hand off of me, Buddy!

Buddy, come on.

- Just for a second. What's the harm?

You don't realize it,

but what you're doing isn't nice.

Can't I just see

what the nipple looks like?

Are you satisfied now?

Can we lie and talk now, huh?

It has a nipple.

- Or course.

At first

I couldn't feel it, but now I do.

It's like an acorn.

- OK, Buddy, that's enough.

You're just a child, and wouldn't

understand, but that type of thing...

...can stir a girl up.

Now you lie down and we'll just talk.

It was softer than I thought.

That was my main impression.

If you hit a girl there,

it could hurt her a lot.

Who would do a thing such as that?

Some fiend might.

You know, Buddy,

I can't figure you out at all.

You can be very nice, but like your

mama said, you have an evil streak.

Everyone does, Rose.

Your Daddy doesn't.

What has happened

has made me love your pa more.

I not only love him,

I respect him.

I admire him.

I have a serious favor to ask.

- Most men would act like he did.

If they get a girl, they go ahead

and get her. Just like some monkey.

Then they tell her she's no good,

when they done the same thing.

Since you're here in bed with me, and

I've already touched your titty...

Buddy, what an awful thing to say!

Where did you get

any such idea as that, anyhow?

I'm curious, Rose.

I'm real curious.

Well that is just too bad.

Curiosity killed the cat.

Yeah, but satisfaction

brought him back. May I?

No. You should be ashamed, asking

such a nasty thing, a child your age.

Can't I touch it just a little bit?

Just to see what it's like?

No.

Oh, Rose, I'm curious.

Can't I touch it for a second?

Aren't you my friend?

Don't you like me?

I like you a lot.

In fact, I love you.

You're sweet, Buddy,

but you don't really love me. - I do!

Don't you like me just a little bit?

Sure I like you, Buddy.

But you're just a child.

I'm 13 and I have a natural curiosity.

It's nature, Rose.

Now what's wrong with nature?

Honey, what's the matter?

Just that...

...damnable reverse-insomnia.

You go back to sleep.

The Depression has got me.

Strong men weeping, children hungry.

What a life, what a world.

Buddy, quit it.

Am I hurting you?

No, you're not hurting me.

You just better quit it, that's all.

- Why, if I'm not hurting you?

You wouldn't understand.

I must be out of my mind.

This is definitely the most

fascinating experience of my life.
