Sweet Charity Page #4

---

Get in the car, get out of

the car, go here, go there.

You think you can just your place and,

uh, any time you feel like it, huh?

- Coming?

- Yeah.

Good evening, sir.

I'm with him.

Oh.

Thank you.

Were there any calls,

Manfred? None, sir.

No calls? Are you sure? None, sir.

Positive, sir. Well, if

there are any, I am not in.

Yes, sir. And bring us a cold supper.

Very good, sir.

What did you say

your name was?

Charity.

Charity Hope Valentine.

Do you like Brahms?

Huh?

The music.

Oh. Oh, yeah.

It's got a...

It's got a great beat.

Leave it.

Well, it'll get all...

Leave it!

Uh, sit down.

Uh, talk to me.

Tell me what you do.

Oh, that'd just be

a waste of time.

Why?

'Cause I'd lie.

Why should you lie?

Because I really want to make an impression

on you, and if I told you the truth,

what I really did,

you wouldn't be impressed.

Let me be the judge of that.

What do you do?

Um...

I'm a dance hall hostess.

You what?

- I'm a dance hall hostess.

- Oh.

There, you see?

You should've let me lie.

I was gonna be an

assistant dental technician.

Well, that doesn't sound

very impressive.

It does to

a dance hall hostess.

Champagne?

Well, I don't mind

if I do.

Why did you ever

take a job like that?

I don't know. Fickle

finger of fate, I guess.

What?

Fickle finger of fate.

Don't you know what that

means? Yes, I think so.

Well, I don't.

Not really.

But see, these things always seem to

happen to me, and I never know why or how.

And people are always comin' up to me

askin', "Why did you take up with that guy?"

Or "How come you

wound up in that joint?"

And I always felt so dumb

sayin', "I don't know. "

But it was the truth.

I don't.

I guess you're supposed to know why you

do things or how come you wind up places.

Anyway, now whenever anybody

says, "why?" or "how?" to me,

I just say, "Fickle finger of

fate," and then I don't feel so dumb.

I think you just

like saying it.

I think you're right.

Fickle finger of fate.

There, you see?

Fickle finger of fate.

Fickle finger of fate. Fickle finger

of fate. Fickle finger of fate.

Fickle finger of fate.

You wanna try?

Mm-mmm. Oh, it feels

good. Really it does.

It cools the mouth. Oh, try it

just once. Fickle finger of fate.

Say it. Just once. No, no.

All right.

Fickle finger of fate.

That's very nice. You like it?

It does cool the mouth. Oh, I

got lots of phrases I like to say.

Like if some wisenheimer down at the Fandango

says somethin' dirty to me sometime...

or somethin' fresh and I can't

think fast enough to answer,

I like to say, "Up yours. "

You do?

Oh, yeah, that really works.

It fits just about any situation.
