- Thanks.

I hear the rescue mission

rents your building.

Rents, that's right.

But they ain't got no money.

- So, how can I keep them there?

- You ain't gonna put them out?

Put them out, me? No.

- I'll just tell them they'll have to move.

- But Mr. Cummings is in charge.

Yes. Nice, smartish-looking fellow.

Why did you send for me, Lou?

You want me to buy

some of your famous diamonds or...

No. What do you want for that building?

You mean, how much if I'm selling,

or how much if I'm paying taxes?

I mean how much for cash?

Now stop multiplying.

I don't want to buy the Bowery.

I was going to ask $25,000 for that building.

My own brother couldn't buy it for $20,000.

- But for you, I'll make it $15,000.

- Well, I'll give you $12,000.

Oy, gevalt!

$12,000. Never.

All right.

All right.

Goodbye.

Goodbye.

Wait. Is that all cash?

No mortgage goes with it?

Here's your $12,000.

How do I know it is?

Because I say so. You never heard of me

cheating anyone, did you?

No. Not about money.

Now, listen, that sounds like a slam.

But coming from you, I'll let it pass.

Handle them with care.

They're only my heart.

And what a heart you've got, Miss Lou.

I'll tell you what I want you to do.

Come and make up the papers.

And make it appear like the mission

bought the building themselves.

I don't want to be mixed up in it.

We want Lou!

Lou.

Hurry up, the place is jammed

with all the society folks.

I hope they tuned that piano.

Our Lady Lou is here

Ever since Miss Susan Johnson

She lost her jockey, Lee

There's been much excitement

and more to be

You can hear her moaning from early morn

I wonder where my Easy Rider's gone

I wonder where my Easy Rider's gone

If he was here he'd win the race

If not first he'd get a place

I never saw that jockey

trailing anyone before

I'm losing all my money

that's why I'm blue

If that boy was here

he'd sure know what to do

I'd put all my junk in pawn

To bet on any horse that jockey's on

I wonder where my Easy Rider's gone

I wonder where my Easy Rider's gone

He went and put my brand new bunch

in pawn

I see him coming round that turn

What a trail that man can burn

He's gotta win

because my dough is on the nose

Just watch my jockey easy ride in style

He'll hit that home stretch winner by a mile

I want him to win this spree

And keep on going till he comes to me

I wonder where my Easy Rider's gone

I wonder where my Easy Rider's gone

You were great, Lou.

I'd like to have a word with you

when it's convenient.

I've been saving a little time for you.

Come up in a few minutes.

What are you doing here, Flynn?

- Just getting used to the place.

- Yeah?

- You're thinking about moving in?

Mae West

Mary Jane "Mae" West (August 17, 1893 – November 22, 1980) was an American actress, singer, playwright, screenwriter, comedian, and sex symbol whose entertainment career spanned seven decades, known for her lighthearted bawdy double entendres and breezy sexual independence. West was active in vaudeville and on the stage in New York City before moving to Hollywood to become a comedian, actress and writer in the motion picture industry, as well as appearing on radio and television. The American Film Institute named her 15th among the greatest female stars of classic American cinema. Often using a husky contralto voice, West was one of the more controversial movie stars of her day and encountered many problems, especially censorship. She bucked the system, making comedy out of conventional mores, and the Depression-era audience admired her for it. When her cinematic career ended, she wrote books and plays and continued to perform in Las Vegas, in the United Kingdom, on radio and television and to record rock and roll albums. She was once asked about the various efforts to impede her career, to which she replied: "I believe in censorship. I made a fortune out of it." more…
