She Done Him Wrong Page #6

Now where did he go?

Where did you put him?

- Who do you mean?

- Pete the Duke, you know who I mean.

You must be mistaken.

Pete's been helping me all afternoon.

- Who says so?

- I do.

Two against one, Doheney,

so flap your heels.

What's the matter here?

You're in again?

Listen, Jordan, I'm after Pete the Duke,

I saw him come in the door...

Just a minute, Doheney. I thought I told you

you weren't welcome here.

What's the use of stalling me?

I saw him come in the door...

Thanks.

Ain't having much luck, are you?

I'd have a great deal more

if Doheney and the others would cooperate.

Ain't none of them worth saving.

If you hang around them long enough,

you'll get that way yourself.

Thanks for the kind interest.

I always did like a man in a uniform.

That one fits you grand.

Why don't you come up sometime

and see me?

- I'm home every evening.

- Yeah, but I'm busy every evening.

Busy? Say, what are you trying to do,

insult me?

Why, no, not at all. I'm just busy, that's all.

You see, we're holding meetings

in Jacobson's hall every evening.

When you have a moment to spare, drop in.

You're more than welcome.

I heard you. But you ain't kidding me any.

You know, I met your kind before.

Why don't you come up sometime?

Well, I...

- Don't be afraid. I won't tell.

- But...

Come up. I'll tell your fortune.

You can be had.

Remember, Lou.

Chick's probably pretty sore.

I'll make him think he's on a vacation.

- Yeah, he'll listen to you.

- Who won't?

Once I get them, they're branded.

Hello, Shorty, what are you doing here?

Five years.

What for?

I forgot what me mother told me.

Should have tied a string around your finger.

Hello, Lou.

Bobo, I didn't expect to see you here.

If you hadn't turned me down

I'd have never landed in here.

Say, Lou, how about giving me

another chance when I get out?

When do you get out?

15 years.

That's a date.

Hello, Lou.

Cherry sisters.

Lou, you gotta help me

get out of this.

- Who, me?

- You've gotta. I've been framed.

You got a lot of pull. You can get me out,

It's a frame, I tell you.

You're the right picture for it.

One of the fastest guys in the business,

but he's taking his time now.

Hello, Lou.

What is this? Old Home Week?

Chick.

Why didn't you come to see me sooner?

- 'Cause you were glad to get rid of me?

- Chick.

You know what I mean and you know me.

What am I in here for?

You know why I copped them stones?

Sure, and you know who's got them now.

You'd sell your heart and lungs

for a handful of diamonds.

And I'm doing a stretch with rats and bugs

so you can have them.

It's all right.

As long as you're on the level.

But if you ain't, I can find out.
