Saturday Night Fever Page #5

it's every man for himself.

It's a stinking rat race.

Hey, that stuff goes on beautiful, Tony.

Best vinyl I ever seen at that price.

See? I told you.

You just listen to me, right?

You know, you saved me a bit

of change on the job. You know paint.

You ever want a job as a painter,

why don't you let me know, huh?

You make twice as much

as you make here,

but you break your back.

You interested?

- I don't know.

- Don't be interested.

You'll make twice as much,

but you'll break your back.

- No advances, no nothing. It's payday...

- I gave you a raise.

- You gave me what?

- A raise.

- You kidding me?

- No. Come on, look. See how much it is.

You gave me a raise? Thank you.

I can't believe this.

Wait, hold on, you better look first.

I don't gotta look.

It don't make no difference.

You gave me a raise.

That's the important thing.

- It's only $2.50.

- So what?

That's $2.50. It ain't much.

The important thing is it's a raise.

I think that's really great.

I'll tell you what,

I'm gonna give you $3.50, all right?

- You do not have to, Mr. Fusco.

- I'll give you $3.50.

- I like the raise just the way it is.

- I'll give you $1 more.

Shut up, will you? $4.

I'll make it an even $4.

Christ, I've never seen anybody

so sh*t-ass happy over

a crummy $2.50 raise.

Wait a minute. $2?

You just said $4.00, didn't you?

What the hell are you doing?

- I just feel like it, all right?

- Girls do that.

I got a raise today.

How do you like that?

Yeah?

Why didn't you say so during dinner?

We could've used the conversation.

Put them down. Come here.

- How much you get?

- It's gonna be $4.00.

It was... It was $2.50, right?

But he raised the raise

when he found out

I wasn't so, you know, disappointed.

- $4.00?

- Yeah.

Sh*t. You know what $4.00 buys today?

It don't even buy $3.00.

I don't see nobody giving you a raise

down at Unemployment.

$4.00. Sh*t.

I knew you'd piss on it.

Go on, just piss on it, right?

A raise says, like, you're good,

you know what I mean?

You know how many times somebody

told me I was good in my life?

Two. Two. Twice. Two f***ing times,

this raise today and dancing,

dancing at the disco.

You sure as f*** never did. A**hole.

$4.00. Sh*t.

Why ain't you waiting inside?

Well, I wanted to watch you

come down the street.

I like the way you walk.

Sh*t.

Tony, listen, I've been thinking.

Maybe I'll make it with you.

That's what you call thinking, huh?

Jesus Christ.

You know what? You're too much,

Annette. You know that?

I mean, you say we're gonna make it,

that means we're gonna make it, right?

I mean, like,

I got no say in this at all, right?

It's time we went out.

You told me you wanted to do it.
