The Damned Don't Cry Page #4

It's number 836. Better put it down

before you forget it.

- Don't worry. This number I won't forget.

- I'll be right back.

- Sandra?

- Yes, Mr. Riley.

You're doing great. We wrap up this order

and tonight we celebrate.

- Could I help you?

- No, thanks. I can manage.

First, we'll surround a juicy steak.

I know a place where they come thick.

The place you came from, they're all thick.

Don't pay attention to her. Our blood

types are antagonistic. See you at 7:00.

7:
00, you'll be seeing your three kids.

- Who asked you?

- Mr. Riley of St. Paul.

Then give your advice to him.

And Mr. Maggio of Topeka asked Ethel.

- Asked me what?

- He asked you to have dinner with him.

- But he didn't.

- It's all the same. He asked the boss.

And the boss answered for you.

- Why?

- Tell her, flap-jaw.

The customer's always right, honey.

- Do I have to go with him?

- You missed the point.

They're out-of-town buyers.

They wanna keep on buying.

As long as it's from us,

we want to help them.

They wrestle with you a little.

It's no worse than the subway.

In fact, it's a lot better.

- How's your dice game?

- My dice game?

We're going to Grady's for dinner...

and after that, we'll have

a friendly little game in the backroom.

Sandra, I don't think I'd better go.

Listen, hon,

you gotta stop being antisocial.

All this living by yourself,

that's for channel swimmers.

Now just hang on to me tonight...

and you'll have a great time,

and at retail prices.

- Good night.

- Enjoy yourself, honey?

I feel like something that's been on sale

in a bargain basement.

- I'm one big bruise from here to here.

- Ain't it rugged?

But you'll get used to it.

- Well, good night.

- Good night.

Hey, wait a minute!

I almost forgot.

$20? What's this for?

Your cut.

Whenever we steer a couple of guys

into Grady's back room...

he gives us a bonus.

We split. 50-50.

It helps, don't it?

Say, how about us working as a team?

I think I'd better learn one job at a time.

Honey, it's all the same job.

It's still modeling.

Only it pays better at night.

What else have we got to sell

but a face and a figure?

And anybody who can make a peplum

move like you don't need anything else.

Okay, handsome, take me home.

Madam, do you think you know

what home looks like?

Looks a lot better than this dump.

There you are.

- Hey, wait a minute. What is this?

- Your cut of last night.

Those two suckers from Nebraska.

What did you do, shave it off with a razor?

No, I did what you do.

Split it down the middle.

Don't give me that.

I saw Grady slip you $100.

Since when is $20 right down the middle?

Since I began using your arithmetic book.
