She Done Him Wrong Page #10

that you know nothing more?

- Would you believe me if I did?

- Yes, of course.

- That's all I know.

- I'm glad to hear that.

Say it like you mean it.

I do. I'm anxious not to see you

mixed up in it.

But I guess I'm taking your time.

What do you suppose my time's for?

Sit down.

That's it, loosen up.

Unbend. You'll feel better.

- Cigarette?

- No, thanks. I don't smoke.

Yes, I guess smoking is gonna make a man

look effeminate before long.

So, all this is your famous collection?

No. This is just my summer jewellery.

You ought to see my winter stuff.

I see.

It was a tossup whether I'd go in

for diamonds or sing in the choir.

The choir lost.

They're wonderful.

But they always seem so cold to me.

They have no warmth, no soul.

I'm sorry you think more of your diamonds

than you do of your soul.

I'm sorry you think more of my soul

than you do of my diamonds.

Maybe I ain't got no soul.

Yes, you have,

but you keep it hidden under a mask.

You'll wake up and find it some time.

Haven't you met a man

that could make you happy?

Sure, lots of times.

You can't go out in this.

I gotta be getting back to the mission.

Sally's father is waiting for me.

That ought to be interesting.

Yeah, but it's one of the things

I have to do.

Good night.

Good night.

Come up again. Any time.

Thanks, I will.

It won't be long now.

Now, this is all we have

on hand at present.

One of the plates got busted

and sort of held us up.

These are beautiful, Gus.

One way to get rich is to make

one's own money, isn't it, Jordan?

Now, you have your instructions.

I won't say anything more.

You know what to do.

Get rid of them quickly but safely.

Not a word, Gus.

They say money talks,

but this can only whisper.

Stow these on you.

I'll take care of the rest.

Soon we will be very rich, eh?

I hope so.

I need money.

Don't we all?

One thing more...

Who's there?

Doheney.

Just a minute, Doheney.

Come in, Doheney.

- What's up?

- Excuse me for butting in, Mr. Jordan...

- but have you seen anyone around here?

- No. Who?

- Chick Clark.

- Chick Clark?

- You'll find him up the river.

- He made a getaway. I thought you knew.

Collins here says he spotted him out back.

I'm sure it was him.

He was headed this way.

What would he come here for?

No telling, sir.

Maybe looking for trouble.

Better take a look. Excuse us, will you?

On life's stormy path,

ill-advised

Do not scorn her with words

fierce and bitter

Do not laugh

at her shame and downfall

For a moment, just stop

and consider

Wait a minute.

that a man was the cause

Sir, he might have gone that...

of it all

You can go home now, Pearl.

I won't need you anymore.
