The Big Street Page #3

so they call me Little Pinks.

It used to be sort of a family joke.

See, when we were kids...

I got you a job.

You don't have to talk me to death.

Thanks. I've always wanted

to work in a classy...

Don't knock yourself out.

I may change my mind.

Go see the headwaiter.

I got it all fixed.

I got a report you went on the so-and-so

for Decatur Reed.

- Evaporate.

- That's my special little pond.

So you keep your line out

or I'll scratch your pretty little eyes.

This is really absurd.

Get her, making out

like she's a duchess.

Listen, Your Highness, I got a left jab

that'll knock your royal teeth out.

That dame is a lump of mud.

- Your Highness.

- What was that crack?

Your Highness. I was just thinking,

it does sort of fit you.

Are you kidding?

Go away. I can't stand any more.

Thanks.

Thanks very much...

...Your Highness.

Your Highness.

Not bad.

That's him.

Are you the kid Miss Lyons

wants to get a job as busboy?

- Yeah.

- Union man?

- Experience?

- Mindy's, Joe's Green Room, and 44 Club.

You look kind of shmeary to me,

but I owe that dame a little favor...

...on account of she loaned me money

for my upper plate.

Fifteen bucks a week. Hours, 6 to 3.

The usual percent of tips.

- Deal?

- Sure.

- Report tomorrow, 9.

- Thanks, and will you?

Will you tell Her Highness

I'm very much obliged?

- Her Highness?

- Her Highness?

Hey, Ruby.

Move your big fat feet.

Coming, Your Highness.

These are very choice.

Better Times blooms.

- Five dollars the doz.

- They're lovely.

Okay, wrap them up.

- How many doz, please?

- One.

"To the loveliest girl in the world."

Oh, shut up, Nicely.

Aren't you gonna sign it?

Oh, no. She'd think I was silly

sending her flowers.

I'll vote for that.

For that five bucks, we could get

a beefsteak thicker than your head.

Pinks, what goes on with you?

Does it make sense...

...having high blood pressure

for a dame you can't get near...

...with less than a million?

- I know that, Violette.

- What are you sending her flowers for?

- She's been awful nice to me.

- She got me the job, didn't she?

- Is that your only reason?

Sure, what do you think?

- Nothing.

- Come on, let's go eat.

Can't you even be

a little romantic?

I am romantic,

but I'm still hungry.

There's no name on it.

It just says,

"To the loveliest girl in the world."

Dear Decatur.

Oh, come in.

- We had a nice walk.

- Hello, Baby, darling.

Thanks. Don't forget to wash

my car before you go home.

Yes, ma'am.

Mr. Ables might not like

all this attention.

Effective immediately,

I'm giving him back to the Mohawks.

- Meaning?

- Meaning Decatur Reed.

I'll soften up

and let him take me out tonight.
