The Immigrant Page #3

our little doves.

Rosie, words do not suffice.

Again, such a beautiful spread.

Thank you.

Let's all enjoy.

Hello, Rosie.

How is it all going?

Hello. Bruno.

These two nice men...

they're very good friend

of police commissioner.

Oh... How do you do,

Bruno Weiss.

A pleasure to meet you.

And you sir.

And I'm pretty sure they would like to

see our pageant with the girls. Yes?

Pageant, as long as it's decent.

You know, some places

they ain't decent.

Even though they may be

serving, say, liquor.

And with prohibition,

we can't have no problems.

We'll shut you down.

Yes. We do it right.

Please, sit down.

And you know, we have a lot

of new shows for the New Year.

Oh, a lot of singing

and magic.

Magic. Is that your

department, magic?

It can be.

Not thinking about bringing

Orlando back, are you?

No. Tomorrow I go to New

Jersey. And choose a lot of acts.

Well, you know I have

your best interest in mind.

Okay!

We got to have a prize

for our pageant. Yes?

Please put in the money.

Our guest will choose who is

the winner.

The best girl gets all the money.

I don't have any.

Then you can't join.

Sorry, those are the rules.

Belva, first.

She is so good.

And all in the right places.

There is Ilda.

She put on a few

pounds since last summer.

But I believe everybody

agrees, it's for the best.

Beautiful Tessla...

Good night, my darlings.

Good night, Bruno!

Good night, Bruno!

Thank you, Good night.

Oh, here we go.

You picked me, all me.

Look at this.

Dollars! Geeps.

You did very well, darling.

Thank you, I thought I

did better.

I want it.

We are just having a drink.

You don't care to join us?

No, thank you.

I used to dance on the

streets as a kid for money.

We would fasten tin to our shoes.

The things you do to survive.

Who is that?

My sister, my mother

and my father.

She's beautiful.

Her name is Magda.

Where are your parents now?

They are dead.

Do you mind me asking

what happened?

They were killed by soldiers.

They cut their head off

and they make us watch.

No, don't touch me. Don't touch me.

Shame on you.

Shame!

I don't need to force

myself on you!

You are a stranger to me.

And you come into my home,

I feed you, I take care of you!

And you steal from us?

You think I didn't see?

From the same

people who tried to help you?

I should beat you to death!

You are not being smart.

You could work fifty years sewing

and not make half of what you need!

Belva! Belva,

come in here!

Ewa has something she'd

like to say to you.

Something she would like

to give to you.

I stole money from you.

All right then. What do you say?

Yes, thank you.

You see?

We forgive each other.
