The Duchess and the Dirtwater Fox Page #4

juicy-looking little lady.

Know somethin', Dirtwater?

You're a mighty

appealing-looking fella.

- You mean it?

- Cross my heart.

- Really mean it?

- Hope to die.

[COUGHING]

What do you think

is my most attractive feature?

Mmm--

[COUGHS]

Whew.

That's a tough decision.

Take your time.

Um--

Some ladies like one thing,

some another.

It's all there.

- Your jaw.

- [CORK POPS]

My jaw? Not my hair?

Your jaw. It's strong.

Funny.

Most ladies like my hair.

They like to

run their fingers through it.

It's your jaw.

I remember once in St. Louis

this lady got her hand caught in there.

Wouldn't take it out

for a day and a half.

[LAUGHING]

You about through?

Uh, y-yes, sir, Mr. Malloy.

Yes, sir. That'll be $56.

- Fifty-six dollars.

- Fifty-six dollars.

Fifty-six dollars?

That's an awful lot of money!

Not for this stuff.

This isn't domestic champagne.

It comes all the way from Oregon.

Only the labels are made here.

- Do you need any money?

- I can handle it, Bluebird.

- Fifty-six dollars?

- Fifty-six dollars.

- Here's 57. Keep the change.

- Yes, sir. Thank you, sir.

Do you mind if I

ask you a question first?

- [COUGHS]

- What is it?

Do you mind

if I put that cigar down?

- Help yourself.

- Thank you.

Now, what was your question?

Just sit down.

Would you, please?

Bluebird, there are

personal questions...

and there are

very personal questions.

Now, this is a very,

very personal question.

Well, what in the world is it?

Quite simply, it's this:

Haven't those two little prisoners

done enough time?

Let's give the little devils

their freedom.

They're already pretty free.

They gotta breathe,

though, don't they?

- Uh, I have a better idea.

- You do?

Yes. Why don't we have a little toast

to each little devil first?

Why not?

Of course why not.

You should have anything you want.

After all...

you are the customer.

- The what?

- Customer.

- The customer?

- Well, a girl does have

to take care of her--

You've got some sense of humor.

You are actually asking

Charlie Malloy to pay for it?

Well, a girl does have to

keep body and soul together.

Bluebird, I've never paid

for anybody's body...

and I sure as hell ain't puttin' up

a red cent for their soul.

All right, Malloy.

You never paid for it,

and I never gave it away.

With me, anybody who wants a little

"mmmph," he's gotta put up for it.

- So it's a Mexican standoff.

- Right.

- No hard feelings?

- Didn't waste nothin' but time.

Help yourself

to a sandwich and go.

- I'm not hungry.

- Suit yourself.

Could you freshen up kinda fast?

It's gettin' late. You know what I mean?

Yeah, I know what you mean.

Everything okay in there,
