"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."

"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." "It's all right." "We understand." "You're desperate." "We've all been desperate." "But I can help you." "I want you at the theater tomorrow morning to rehearse." "Do you understand?" "The other ladies will show you how." "Yes." "You will see that my concern is for you." "Ladies, and gentlemen..." "I, Bruno Weiss, welcome you to..." "Bandit's Roost!" "Come, take a trip with me and my doves... as we take you round the globe without leaving the comfort of your chair." "Behold!" "All the women of the world..." "laid out before you, for your viewing pleasure." "Each one a mistress of the art of love in her own domain." "Straight from Zigfeld's Theater." "Meet the Lady of Spain!" "Sample her spicy paella, Seniores!" "Muy caliente!" "There is Little Egypt!" "All the mysteries of the great pyramid will be reveled before your very eyes by this modern day Cleopatra!" "Or is it Miss Japan that catches your fancy?" "This Geisha girl has come from the orient to tantalize the senses... and sooth the white man's soul." "Find out how this Cossack of love brought Napoleon to his knees and made the Kremlin quake with desire!" "And there's Gypsy." "Oh Gypsy, that turns boys into men!" "And men back to boys." "Well gentlemen, we have toured the world." "And now they're all yours, right back here in America." "Lady Liberty!" "Opens her arms to you." "And welcomes you to her bosom of America."

"Just a little." "It looks like she drink too much bar juice." "Well, she's a dumb Dora." "So what do you expect?" "Of course she's going to drink all the bar juice." " I feel bad for her." " Why do you feel bad." "Bruno can't take his eyes off of her." "Next thing you know, he will be treating her like a princess." "What a production!" "Young lady, you were mesmerizing." "What?" "Are you drunk?" "Mister Weiss?" "Good evening." "My name is Oskar Straub." "Hello." "Mister Straub, the garment maker from uptown, how do you do." "I was very impressed with your show." "Thank you." "I'm just obliged for your high regard." "I have a problem." "Leo!" "This is my son, Leo." "Hello." "He needs care." "He's not manly." "I see." "We can definitely be of service." "Is there anything in particular you like." "We can also provide your son with a male companion." "No, no." "She's new." "She hasn't even shown herself." "I hate to disappoint." "She's strictly a dancer." "Half now, half later." "Please, we must be discreet." "I'll speak to you in a moment, yes?" "Why don't you go home now." "You don't have to do the second show." "Hello?" "Hello, ma'am." "Ewa, this is Leo." "A nice young man." "Come, sit down and you both get to know each other a little." "I'll just be outside." "I'm not..." "My father wants me to do this." "No, no..." "No..." "She doesn't want to do it." "Young man, she's pure." "Do you understand?" "We'll be a moment." "I don't want you to do this either." "But it's not my decision." "The truth is... we both know you are going to see this boy." "Because for you... your sister's well being is more important than your own." "I've learned that about you." "The boy is very gentle... he doesn't know anything." "No one will ever know." "So tell me now." "If you do not wish to see this boy," "I'll send him away." "But tell me now." "I'll be just outside." "Here you are, sir." "And by the way, we do have spirits available this evening." "Good, I'll have a whiskey." "Yes sir." "You need to eat, you'll feel better." "Come on, Ewa." "Come on." "Eat something." "Do you want to try a little bit?" "Please, we don't want you to get sick." "How long I do this?" "I don't know." "I don't know." "How much it's going to cost to get her out." "But you helped your sister today." "Now, a client like Mister Straub, he opens a lot of doors." "I will not give the cops their usual cut." "Now that's a big big risk for me." "Because I'm here to help you." "Not like your stupid uncle." "You know my uncle?" "No, I don't know your uncle." "I know of your uncle." "When I got you off the island, when I paid to get you out." "McNally showed me the files," "I know about your uncle and your aunt." "They didn't do anything for you." "Here..." "Here's your cut, for your sister." "What?" "You don't like money?" "If you don't want it, I'll keep it." " I like money." " Good." "I don't like you." "I hate you." "And I hate myself." "I'm sorry, Ewa." "Don't hate me." "I want you." "Why do you say no to me?" "I want you to love me." "Ewa, Ewa, Bruno loves you." "Excuse me, do you know this address?" "Excuse me, Do you know this address?" "Does it exist?" "Greenpoint, Brooklyn, over the bridge." "Hello, Chippie." "Hey, Chippie, come on back here." "Who is there?" "Wojtek!" "Ewa!" "They said you weren't here, but I found you, Auntie!" "Thank God." "Come inside." "We looked for you for so long... it's a miracle." "Edyta, who is it?" "Wojtek!" "Wojtek, Ewa is here!" "Ewa found us!" "We haven't met since the wedding." "But I remember you, uncle." "You should get her something to eat and drink." "Yes, of course." "Come, I will make you some tea." "They said you weren't on the boat." "Your uncle went to Ellis Island, and they said you never came." "No, we did." "They said you weren't there." "They said your address wasn't valid." "But I knew it wasn't true, that you would never forget about us." "Of course we would never forget about you!" "Never." "Where's Magda?" "They made her stay at the hospital." "She's sick." "But she sent me a letter." "With your help we can get her out." "Magda..." "Magda was very brave." "I wouldn't have made it without her." "I'm very tired..." "But I'm well." "Tomorrow we'll go to church and give thanks." "Let her rest." "Of course." "Yes." "Darling, you're safe now." "You'll be very happy in this country." "You'll see." "We've done very well here." "You'll meet a good man..." "and get married." "Sleep now." "You'll feel better." "Don't lose faith, my love." "The nightingale always sings sweetest at the darkest hour." "Sleep." "Magda." "I was dreaming..." "We are going to have to ask you come with us, please." "I don't understand." "You don't have proof of residence." "You're here illegally." "I'm sorry." "I'm going to have to deport you." "Why?" "I have a good name here, a business." "I won't be shamed." "I didn't do anything." "The men at Ellis Island, they told me what you did on the ship!" " You're a disgrace." " No." "A whore!" "Just be thankful I let you sleep here last night!" " No!" "It's a lie!" " Let's go." "Auntie Edyta!" "It's not true!" "Auntie Edyta!" "They lie!" "That's enough!" " You don't talk to her!" " What about Magda?" "I pray for her." "She's sick, you poisoned her!" " Where you take her?" " Shut up!" "Tell me where they are taking her!" "This is my house!" "Your stay here in Ellis Island will not be long." "Your deportation hearing is tomorrow." "They don't work on Sunday." "I see here you're from Poland." "You are already registered by Officer McNally." "We'll notify him." "Where is the hospital?" "It's on the south side of the island." "You can't see it from here." "My sister is there." "Can I see her?" "There's no visitations." "I'm sorry." "But there's a show tonight for the detainees in the Registry Room." "If she's well enough, you might see her there." "Oh, thank you." "Thank you very much." "Well, here's your bunk." "And listen, if you look healthy for the Board, it helps." "You're Polish?" "We're from Lodz." "It's terrible, the way they treat us here." "Like we are nothing." "I am not nothing." "Mary Mother of God, in the hour of my great need" "help me... and help me find Magda tonight." "Ladies and gentlemen, thank you!" "Now, before you are entertained by the one and only Caruso, the worlds finest tenor, we have one more of our local acts to thrill you." "Behold, a touch of magic!" "From a prestidigitator who will amaze you with his gravity-defying daring-do!" "Ladies and gentlemen, I give you," "Orlando the Magician!" "Thank you, Good evening." "Good evening." "Ladies and gentlemen, thank you." "The Levitation, perhaps the most miraculous feat you'll ever witness." "Even the Great Houdini himself, has never defied gravity in such a manner." "But tonight I will attempt to rise, before your very eyes." "Now there are those that query the possibility." "But I understand that." "I've heard it all before." "But I have to ask those people, how is it that you found yourself here?" "At this very moment, in America?" "By boat most likely, yes." "It would be a long swim." "But isn't it also because you believed it could happen?" "Well, Ladies and gentlemen..." "I believe." "Thank you..." "Thank you." "Now, excuse me sir." "Now Ladies and gentlemen, we ask you to be very quiet." "For the next trick, even the slightest break of concentration could prove to be fatal." "Now I assure you this is an authentic straight jacket." " Yes." " Magda?" " Used on the criminally insane." " Magda." " My mother thinks I belong in it." " Magda." "I'm not sure I feel that." " But I'm already strapped into this coffin." " Magda." "What?" "I want you to secure it, and lock it..." "after I'm inside, of course." "And then I want you to shoot your weapon at me." "On my signal!" "Ready!" "Aim!" "Fire!" "On no!" "Ladies and Gentlemen," "Orlando the Magician has been shot dead!" "This is tragic!" "Where, oh where is Orlando?" "You missed." "Happy New Year."

"Now, without further ado I give you The Great Caruso!" "It's all right." "Have you eaten?" "Did she get a meal?" "Yeah, she didn't have much of an appetite though." "I heard about what happened with your uncle." "And now they send you back home." "I don't know where is home." "What do you mean?" "Here, at least my sister is near." "You're so stubborn." "You are going to be deported." "Do you understand that?" "I wish there was something more I could do for you." "Listen to me." "Why don't we go and tomorrow I will take you" " to get your sister." " I want more money." "What?" "I want more money." "I'm not opposed to that." "I will give you... fifty cents cents of every dollar we make." "Half." "Is that agreeable?" "I don't trust you." "Ewa, come on." "I wouldn't come out here for anyone else but you." "No, I don't trust you." "But if you don't give me my money, then I will tell the police that you hid money from them." " You're going to tell the police, yeah?" " Yes." "I'd rather you get the cut than the cops anyway." "All right." "So get your things." "Let's go." "Come on." "You are so beautiful."

"Thank you for the money." "Well, you think about it." "Bruno!" "You bring Orlando back?" "So what?" " You lied to me?" " He needs the work." "You remember what happened last time." "When he's on..." " he brings in the customers so good." " Bullshit." "The girls bring in the customers." " I bring in the customers." " Shut your mouth down and listen to me." "You forget who is the boss here."

"I come up with the routines." "I'm moving everything!" "Let's go." "Out, out, out, out." "Before the cops come!" "Where do we go?" "Out!" "After last night, even this think should be more hospitable." "Are you kidding?" "What is this?" "See through there?" "It's is the men's boarding houses." "It's nothing but men, everywhere." "And I got a new material to match the costumes." "These men, have nothing." "It's just temporary, I'll find us a place." "Good morning, gentlemen." "All right, sit here." "When I point to you, blankets off, get up, walk around." "You know what to do." "Okay?" "Gentlemen, today is your lucky day." "May I direct your attention to the daughters of the finest families in New York society." "I give you the Astor family's wayward little girl." "Her father told her to go get a job." "Or will it be the child of Mister Frick?" "She was brought here directly by her chauffeur, in the lap of luxury." "J.P. Morgan's prized... progeny... she grew up with servants and now she will serve you." "Walk around, go up, show yourself." "Please speak directly to me." "Do not touch the ladies." "Ma'am, I'd like you to show me around the neighborhood, if you would." "You talk to him." "How old are you?" "I'm fifteen." "You have no sickness?" "No ma'am." "Let me see." "What are you doing?" "You don't bring... you don't bring any friends." "Is she here?" "Did you give him all the money?" " Yes sir." " You sure?" "You didn't keep any for yourself?" "No, I paid him all the money." "Okay, here." "Take it, get out of here." "Hello, ma'am." "Hello." "I hope you didn't mind that I came." "If you're worried, there's a bunch of cops downstairs." "They're getting a shoe shine." "So if you like you can scream, they'll come right up." "Take me away." "What do you want from me?" "Well, I wanted to see you." "And I wanted to apologize for bringing you on stage last night." "Those guys were animals." " I know you judge me." " Judge you?" "No, I don't judge anybody." "And believe me, I have my own problems a mile long." "Well, I should be going." "You work at Ellis Island." "Well, yeah." "Sometimes." "Are you important there?" "Me?" "No." "Bruno though, he's the one with the pull." "Oh." "He got me the job there." "A long time ago." "It's so strange." "It's a lot smaller than I remembered; this place." "You've been here before?" "Yeah." "He's my cousin." "If you can believe it." "Our families came over here on a boat together." "We grew up here." "Bruno and me used to be close." "But then he changed." "I'm curious." "How is it that you ended up working with him, anyway?" "He brought me here." "They wanted to send me back." "But.." "He made it so I could stay." "My family here, they don't want me." "So." "Wow..." "I'm sorry about your family." "Listen." "I've seen a lot of girls in your situation." "And let me tell you, it does not matter what you do." "My mother used to always tell me," ""God's eye is on every sparrow."" "You got a right to be happy, Ewa." "At least that's what I think." "It's cold out here, Bruno." "I don't believe it." "That fucking kid skinned me." "Wait here!" "Eagerness to..." "Oh, hey Bruno." "Emil?" "I'm glad you're here." "Did you know about this?" "No." "He paid the money." "I don't want his money." "Since when don't you want money, Bruno?" "Ewa, will you please excuse us for a moment." "Close the door." "We're just going to have a conversation." "Between gentlemen." "Yes." "All right, let's talk like gentlemen." "You do not take her." "Ever." "Oh, let me guess." "You're falling for her." "Well first, selling her on the street is probably the wrong sentiment to send." "Bruno?" "What?" "What are you doing?" "Put that away." "Help!" "Help!" "Stop!" "Help!" "Help!" "Hey!" " Get the knife!" " He came into my home and he attacked me!" " Take him in!" " Up against the wall!" "Piece of shit!" "Shut your mouth!" "You're lucky your kike teeth ain't all over the floor." " Yes sir." " Let's go." " Are you satisfied?" " You too!" "Come on!" "All right, all right." "Let me get my coat, and my scarf." " Here we go again, Bruno." " Shut your mouth!" " Hello." " Hello." "They're going to keep him till tomorrow." "They let the pretty boy go because Bruno had the knife." "Let's hope he don't get killed." "Bruno takes care of himself." "He will be well." "What if he's not?" "I need him to take care of us." "I don't need him." "You don't need him?" "Yes?" "You know all the men in New York?" "You know the ones with money from the ones that beat you?" "All I know is, we never had no problems before." "And then you show up." "It was because of you they were fighting." "And now we are out of work." "And we might have to take it out of your cut." "You don't take my money." "Ever." "You make your money the same way I make my money, and you're not better than me." "At least I don't kiss the feet of the man who makes me feel like a piece of trash." "Hello." "Hi." "Is this yours?" "Oh, yeah." "I..." "I thought I left this behind." "It's a... sort of my good luck charm." "Sort of." "Time to pack it up, Orlando." "Come on." "Isn't it getting late?" "Should you be walking here alone?" "It's not the first time." "So..." " You're leaving?" " Yes, I am leaving." "I'm going on a tour across America." "Which is exciting." "Speaking of which, actually," "I wanna to show you something." "Come here." "Here it is." "This..." "That's where I'm going." "That is California." "It's out west." "The sun is always shining there." "It's beautiful." "Yes it is." "Hey, you should come with us." "If you want." "What do you think?" "You could be my assistant." "We'll put you in a nice outfit." "And you can watch me make a fool of myself every night." "No." "No, I can't." "My sister is here on Ellis Island." " Your sister?" " Yes." "She's sick." "I send money for her care." "I see." "You want to see a picture of her?" "Yeah, sure." "That's her." " I always keep her with me." " Yeah..." "She deserves to be happy." " Yes, she does." " Yes." "Well, you be careful." "Okay?" "You know, I've known Bruno my whole life." "And I think he may be in love with you." "Which is making him a little mad upstairs." "If you know what I mean." "I don't think Bruno loves anyone." "But I need him." "He's the only one who can help me." "You know what?" "I want you to have this." "It will bring you luck." "And it looks good on you, too." "Thank you very much." "Goodbye." "Come back for more, huh?" "Didn't the girls tell you to stay away from this place?" "With all the cops around." "Come on." "It means a lot to me that you're here." "I appreciate it." "We need more firewood, Bruno." " Huh?" " We need wood, for the stove, it's cold." "All right, I won't let you get cold." "Come here." "After you." "Do me a favor, would you grab a rag and oil in the corner." "Thank you." "Don't be frightened." "It's for our protection." "I'm tired of being kicked around." "I'm sick of it." "Family protects." "Emil comes around..." "Orlando..." "He's gone." "He won't come back." "He always comes back." "I'm telling you, you gotta stay away from him." " He's harmless." " Ewa, you don't know." "I had a girl once." "Clean." "Elegant." "I liked her." "I didn't want her to know what I did." "I didn't bring her around to the theater." "But he brought her down there, Because he knew." "And she broke it off with me, and she ran off with him." "My own cousin... and that's how he treats me." "All right, excuse me." "Go on!" "Ewa." "Tomorrow's Sunday." "Maybe we can go to Matinee." "Just me and you." " Tomorrow I go to church." " What?" "Tomorrow I go to church." "It's Candlemas." "That's fine." "Just stay away from Orlando." "Let us pray." "Lord God, forgive me" "Mary Mother of God," "Protect the souls of my mother and my father." "Mary Mother of God," "Please protect my sister." "In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit." "Amen." "Amen." "My child in English please, I'm Polish only by descent." "Yes." "My last confession was a long time ago." "I have many, many sins." "Go on." "I lie." "I steal food." "I tried to steal money." "How did you come to this, child?" "On the ship here, there is no food and no room." "It is very dirty." "We are all together, like animals." "And these men, they forced themselves on me." "And for this, they say I am a woman of low morals." "My sister, she's sick." "And this man comes and he promises to help me with my sister." "So..." "I use my body for money." "I..." "I let him use me." "And I stay with him." "And I'm ashamed." "God punishes you for your sins, my child." "I know." "I know." "I know I do not go to heaven." "My child, does the shepherd not rejoice even more when the lost lamb returns to the fold?" "All souls can be saved." "You must continue to have faith in your own salvation." "But you must find a way to leave that man." "So maybe I go to Hell." "Hi." "Is Bruno here?" "No." "Hi." "What are you doing here?" "I thought you had left." "Well, I'm back." "What happened?" "Good things." "So I was on tour, and made as far as New Jersey." "I got into a disagreement with the promoters and couldn't come to terms." "I couldn't stop thinking about you." "I wanted to see you." "And I had to see you." "To share the most magnificent news." "You should go." "Bruno is at his lawyer." " But he will come back very soon." " Don't worry, don't worry about Bruno." "Yes, you should go." "He has a gun." " A gun?" " Yes." "Ewa, we have to get rid of it." "He's not thinking straight." "Where is it?" "Under the night table." "This breeds nothing but sorrow." "All right, so listen." "I fell on some luck." "I won playing cards on the train, and again last night." "So I have some money coming to me, a lot of it." "I'm gonna help you get your sister." "And maybe we can all go out west?" "Yes." "That's very kind." "You don't believe me." "We can talk tomorrow." " Where will you be?" " I'll come find you." " I'll see you tomorrow." " Yes." "Tell them to bring it up all the way next time to my place." "They're getting lazy." "Go." "Go." " Hello." " Hello." "I was thinking about you." "Ewa, I know I've given you every reason to distrust me." "And I have regrets." "But I'm going to go tomorrow morning to Ellis Island and get you a visitors pass to see your sister." "My contacts there tell me she's recovering quite well." "And maybe you can see her with greater frequency." "Bruno." "I'm sorry, Ewa." "I couldn't leave." "Not without teaching him a little lesson." "Ewa..." "You are with him?" "He said he can help me with my sister." "He has money." "He couldn't possibly have that much money." "What are you thinking?" "I'm the one with the connections." "Yeah, well things have changed, Bruno." "Ewa." "You have known him for a few days." "Do you think he is going to help you?" "He is going to give you money?" "Ewa..." "No." " Don't please." "Don't do this." " It's okay." " It's okay." " No, put it down." "He needs to hear this." " You don't have to." "Please." " Bruno." "I want you to tell Ewa that she's free to go now." "You have never been a prisoner." "You understand?" "Listen to me." "That's all you have to say to her." "Come on." "It's okay." "Come on, you can say it." "Come on." "Tell her she's free to go." "Tell her she's free to go." "That's all you have to say." "And we'll both be gone." "I thought I was helping you." "Just say, "Ewa, you're free to go." And you'll never see my face again." "I'll vanish." " One, two..." " I was hoping..." "Aah!" "It's empty." "What did you do?" "Why?" "What did you do?" "He was going to kill me." "Ewa, it's a trick." " It is a trick." "Do you understand?" " What did you do?" "Emil, get up!" "How horrible." "How horrible." "Emil." "Oh God." "Stay back." "No, no." "Don't move him." "Emil..." " I'm sorry." " Stay back." "This is my fault." "This is my fault." "I told him about the gun." " I told him where it was." " No." "No." "It was an accident." "Listen to me." "If you get mixed up in this, you'll never get out." "You'll never get free." "You understand?" "So I take care of this." "You go in the back." "You go back, you hide." "Don't answer the door for anybody." "Ewa, what are you doing?" "Go back." "Go back inside." "Go back." "Please, don't put him with the trash." "No." "We have to act like nothing's wrong." "Like nothing happened." "Okay?" "All right?" "Gentlemen." "These are the daughters of the most famous New York society." "I give you the Astor family's wayward little girl." "Her father told her to get a job." "Or will it be the daughter of Mister Frick?" "He told her too, to get a job." "Now may I please present heiress to Vanderbilt fortune." "Driven by her own chauffeur." "She arrived in the lap of luxury." "What's the matter, honey?" "You don't feel well?" " Ewa." "Can you stand up?" " No." " All right, you... up, up." " I'm not ready." "They are ready." "J.P. Morgan's prized progeny." "What is it?" "Freeze!" "Police!" "Stop right there!" "There she is!" "Stop that fucking whore." "Come on!" "Get that polack bitch!" "Come on." "Come on." "Open, you fucking thing!" "Open!" " I'm too slow." "Leave me behind." " No." "Split up!" " I can't." " No, keep running!" "Run!" "Run!" "Run!" "You!" "Halt!" "Whoa!" "Hold on." "We ain't after you, we're after her." "That crazy Polack bitch killed him." "Didn't she?" " What are you talking about?" " You know what the fuck I'm talking about." " No, I don't know what you're talking about." " We have a witness." "Witness?" "One of your own whores is talking you dumb kike." "Where is she, huh?" "Where is she?" "You tell us where she is!" "Where is she?" "You're not going to talk, are you?" "You got any money?" "Let's see what he's got on him." "His kind don't keep it in the bank." "That's for sure." "Oh, that looks interesting." "Looks like a grand." "At least you made it worth our while." "You bring her to us tomorrow on a silver platter or it's your hide we're coming for." "Come on, let's get out of here." "He knows where to find us." "You have to leave." "They're looking for you." "Drink." "It is opium, it's for pain." "Thank you." "You must leave." "I know." "Go." "I won't leave without my sister." "Bruno." "Please." "If you have money..." "I had the money for your sister." "But I didn't want you to leave me." "But now the cops took it." "They stole it from me." "So I can't help you." "And now I don't know what you can do." "Maybe I can get some." "But God will have to help me." "It's too much." "You forget." "I will get it." "Stop." "Stop." "If you can, meet me in the Ox Tail, and then pack." "I'll wait for you." "Be careful." "Be careful." "Wojtek is at home." "He's sleeping." "Auntie, please." "I have to talk to you." "I need your help." "Please, Auntie." "I beg you." "This is so very difficult for me to say." "Last Sunday I went to church." "For the first time in a long time." "I prayed to Mary." "I have gone through so many trials." "Has it become a sin for me to try so hard to survive?" "Auntie..." "Is it a sin to want to survive, when I have done many bad things?" "Your uncle is a proud man." "I cannot change that." "I know." "I know uncle has rejected me." "But I ask you..." "Auntie... to believe that I can be saved." "God has sent me to someone so very lost, someone who made my life a sin." "And now," "This person suffers for me." "So I am learning the power of forgiveness." "Auntie..." "I need money... for Magda." "It is a lot of money." "But we will never come back again." "Auntie, will you help me?" "Can you not forgive me?" "You know Bruno, I stuck my neck out very far for you here." "Did a lot of favors." "So you know, from now on, you and me, we got to be strangers." "I mean it." "I see you around town, I'm walking the other way." "Let's go." "Come on, before they see us." "Quickly." "You stay here." "I'm going to go sign your sister out." "It may take a couple of minuets." "I better keep drinking this opium." "It feels like my jaw is broken." "It's not hanging straight." "The tickets." "You can get on a boat and go across to Jersey." "And get on a train." "It goes through Pittsburgh, and goes to California," "And go out there and you'll start a new life." "You understand?" "You don't come?" "No, I don't come." "If I go, they'll be looking for us the rest of our lives, you and your sister will never get settled." "You'll wind up dead or in jail." "But what do you do here?" "They blame you." "They say you kill him by yourself." "Well, I did." "Didn't I?" "Yes, I did." "And I will confess." "You get everything you need and you go with that train." "And you get your sister back." " You did it." "You saved her." " Yes." "I thank you." "Thank me?" "For what?" "I picked you." "I found out that you were on that boat." "And I knew you were perfect for me." "When you first got here, I told that guy to pull you out of the line." "I paid him." "I fixed it so your uncle left and you didn't have anybody." "And yeah, I fell in love with you, Ewa." "And it couldn't stop me from using you like I did all the others." "And you hate me." "I don't blame for hating you me." "Until now I never killed nobody before." "But it don't make a difference." "Because if you could lick my heart you'd taste nothing but poison." "See, you think there is goodness in everybody." "But there isn't." "So you go." "And you forget about me." "And you forget about this place." "And you forget about those things that I made you do!" "Because I took everything from you!" "And I gave nothing!" "Nothing." "Because I'm nothing." "Go." "You are not nothing."
