"In New York, no rich lady with any class at all buys that cowboy crap anymore." "They're laughin' at you on the street." " Ain't nobody laughing' at me." " I seen 'em laughin' at you, fella." "Oh, what the hell do you know about women, anyway?" "When's the last time you scored, boy?" "That's the matter I only talk about that at confession." "We're not talkin' about me now." "Well, when'd you've been to confession?" "That's between me and my confessor." "And I'll tell you another thing." "Frankly, you're beginning to smell." "And for a stud in New York, that's a handicap." "Don't talk to me about clean." "I've never seen you change your underwear once the whole time I've been here in New York." " That's pretty peculiar behavior." " I don't have to do that kind of thing in public." " I ain't got no need to expose myself." " No, I'll bet you don't!" "I bet you ain't never even been laid!" "How about that?" "And you're gonna tell me what appeals to women." "I know enough to know that that great big dumb cowboy crap of yours... don't appeal to nobody except every Jacky on 42nd Street!" "That's faggot stuff!" "If you wanna call it by its name, that's strictly for fags!" "John Wayne!" "Are you gonna tell me he's a fag?" "I like the way I look." "It makes me feel good." "It does." "And women like me, goddammit!" "Hell, the only one thing I ever been good for is lovin'." "Women go crazy for me." "That's a really true fact." "Crazy Annie, they had to send her away." "Then how come you ain't scored once the whole time you've been in New York?" "'Cause I need management, goddammit!" "'Cause you stole $20 off of me!" "That's why you're gonna stop crapping' around about Florida... and get your skinny butt moving', earn $20 worth of management... which you owe me!" "Signora, a woman in your condition shouldn't have to do all this." "Boy, you have a lot of laundry here." "Well, it just ain't right cheatin' from a pregnant lady." " What did it cost her?" " What do you mean?" "Get outta here." "The laundry syndicate lost a couple of coins." "I'm cryin'." " That's it, sir." " All right." "Sir, where's mine?" "The black homburg." " I brought it in at the same time." " Well, I tell you, I don't know." "You no have a hat here, mister." "You gotta bring me the ticket" "What about that black homburg right up there?" "Up in there." "Is that it right there?" "A ticket?" "Here's my ticket." "It's right there on the corner." " You wanna get it, right over there?" " I'll look 'em over." "Keep goin'." "Up to the top." "Right in the corner there." "The top one." "No, it not belong to yours." "It belong somebody else." "Hey, you're pretty damn good at that." "I bet you could make a livin' at it if you try." "And end up a hunchback like my old man?" "If you think I'm crippled, you should've caught him at the end of the day." "My old man spent 14 hours a day down in that subway." "He'd come home, two, three dollars' worth of change... stained with shoe polish." "Stupid bastard coughed his lungs out from breathing' in that wax all day." "Even the faggot undertaker couldn't get his nails clean." "They had to bury him with gloves on." "Okay, go ahead." "Come on." "Take a look." "Don't rush me, boy." "Gotta take your time here." "Get myself primed up, like I was turnin' on the charm... for some pretty little blonde lady, you know?" "Then when I'm feelin' cool and good..." "I spin around!" "And there you are, you handsome devil you." "Not bad." "Not bad." "For a cowboy." "You're okay." "You're okay." "The lady will meet you in the lobby." "Taxi!" "Yes, sir." "Oh, I think you got somethin' on your shoulder there." "There, you got it." "Go ahead." "Go ahead." "Say, you haven't got a quarter, have you?" "Just a quarter?" " How do you like that cheap bastard?" " Let's see what the hell you got here." "I think we struck gold." "This is one high-class chick." "'Barclay Hotel For Women.'" "Women." "Is this the Gentleman's Escort Service?" "I'm calling for Miss Beecham... at the Barclay Hotel." "Right." "She changed her mind." "She won't need nobody tonight." "That's right." "Thank you very much." "Bye." "Would you believe a whole goddamn hotel with nothin' but lonely ladies?" "Score once in a setup like that... and Christ the way they talk, I could open up an office in there." "Come on." "Go ahead." "Get the money." "Listen, get the cash." "Remember that lady in the penthouse." "Get the cash." "Those rich ladies write out a check, and then call the bank and stop payment." "Go ahead." "Watch the car!" "Go on." "Rico!" "Rico, up here!" "Up here!" "Rico!" "A-6." "G-49." "G-49." "I-24." "I-24." "And the next one is..." "O-62, ladies and gentlemen." "O-62!" "Are there any bingos?" " And the next one is B-13." " How dare you, in this public place!" "Wait a second, lady!" "Goddammit, you keep your hands off me!" "The temperature right now is 28 degrees, and the weatherman says it's going down tonight." "It's cloudy now, and we can expect a few snow flurries later on." "I'll give you $5 for it." "I got a telephone call from Jesus" "I got him on the line" "I'm gonna call him up Ring him up" "Then the sun will shine" "I got a telephone call from Jesus" "I got him on the line" "Oh, for Christ's sake!" "Hey, Ratso." "Hey, get your ass out here." "I wanna show you something." "There you go, boy." "There's money for you." "That's $9 right there, plus assorted change." "Minus 26¢ for milk." "Plus 5¢ for Dentyne... gum." "Oh, that's smart." "Light a cigarette." "Why not take that and buy a carton?" "Do the job right." "Where'd you get it?" "I got it." "Where you been?" "42nd Street?" "That's where you been." "Movies, that's where you've been, ain't it?" " I ain't been nowhere." " Yeah, movies." "That's where you got that thing on your back." "What, this?" "'What, this?" "'" "A friend I did a favor for give it to me." " A friend?" " Yeah." "Who'd you ever did a favor for?" "You'd just let some poor bastard freeze to death, wouldn't you?" "You stole the damn thing, didn't you?" "You stole it!" "I stole it for you!" "The goddamn thing's ten sizes too big for me." "Wear it yourself!" "I wouldn't have it on my back." "I'll be goddamned if I'll wear it." "Here." "Buy yourself some medicine before you die on my damn hands." " I hate boneyards." " So split." "He ain't your goddamn father!" "He was even dumber than you." "He couldn't even write his own name." "'X,' that's what it oughta say on that goddamn headstone." "One big, lousy 'X'!" "Just like our dump:" "condemned by order of city hall." "My grandma, Sally Buck... she died without lettin' me know." "Oh, Hitler's storm troopers!" "Oh, Hitler's storm troopers!" "Just because I happened to get out of a car!" "Would you believe that?" "It all depends on what you believe in." "You know, like sometimes your spirit goes up, sometimes it goes" "It goes other places." "How long did I hold up traffic just to get out?" "I ask you." "Give some people a little power, and they gotta supersede their authority." "This whole kind of thing is spiritual-- spiritual matters." "Oh, now you're talkin' priest talk." "You're talkin' priest talk now." "I ain't talkin' priest talk, I'm talkin' about what people believe in." "Some people believe you can come back in another body." "Well, I hope I don't come back in your body." "I ain't asking you to come back in my body, but you can come back as anything." "You could come back as a-- a dog or a president." "If I had my choice, I'd come back as a president." "I ain't that dumb." "What do you think?" "Maybe you gotta think about those things for a while." "I'm usually not like this." "I'm usually a very calm and collected person." "Really, forgive me." "I'm awfully sorry." "I think I'm gonna write a letter to the mayor." "I don't believe in any of that crap." "I mean you're entitled to think what you want." " Maybe I do think what I want." " Him." "Maybe I do believe all that damn stuff, and l-- and l" " Do some thinkin' about it, that's all." " Here." "What was that all about?" "Hey, lookie here." "I've been chosen for some damn thing." " It's a come-on." " You know what this is?" " This is a come-on to a party." " It's a couple of wackos advertising." "Where does it say to go?" "Klein's Bargain Basement?" "You go and get a ten-year subscription to the Encyclopedia Britannica." "It says 'Broadway and Harmony Lane, Hansel and Gretel McAlbertson.'" " That's perfectly clear, ain't it?" " Get outta here." "What do a couple of fruity wackos want with characters like you and me?" "It don't say nothin' about you." "It don't say nothin' about you." "It don't say nothin' about you, either." "They took my picture, then gave me that thing." "So what are you driving at?" "You want me to get lost so you can go to your fancy-ass party?" "Wait a minute." "Wait a second." "I didn't say nothin' about that." "Did I say that?" "Did I?" "I'll just tell 'em..." "'You want me, I don't go nowhere without my buddy here.'" "I ain't dressed for a party." "There you go." "Right here." "Hey, dog." "Hey, you all right?" "You okay?" "Hell, damn, you're sweating all over the damn place." "Come here." "You got a comb on ya?" " I don't need a comb." " Here." "Few dozen cooties ain't gonna kill me, I don't guess." " Okay?" " Yeah." " I look okay?" " Yeah." "Okay, come on." "Come on." "They're takin' my picture." "Now just one more close-up with her." "I love everything in the theater." "I would like to die on the stage." "And my hair is fur, you know... its tendrils reaching out into space sometimes." "I've watched it touch many stars." "Wackos." "They're all wackos."

"If you need anything, there's beer and stuff behind me." "Anything you want." "Oh, Jesus." "If you want the word on that brother-and-sister act..." "Hansel's a fag and Gretel's got the hots for herself, so who cares, right?" "Load up on the salami." "It's like what?" "It's like heroin." "Death is like heroin." " Have you tried heroin?" " Yeah, I've tried heroin." "It's like nothing." "It's like death." "It's just nothing." " Why are you here?" " I don't know." "Who brought you?" "I don't know." "Thank you, ma'am." "Hey, sonny, what you doin' there?" "She gave it to me, boy." "Give me the goddamn thing." "Hey, what do you want?" "Up or down?" "Up or down?" "Here, why don't you take an upper?" "Why are you stealing food?" "I was just noticin' that you're outta salami." "I think you oughta have somebody go over to the delicatessen and bring some more back." "Well, you know, it's free." "You don't have to steal it." "Oh, it's free, then I ain't stealing'." " What's the matter?" "How did you get crippled?" " I slipped on a banana peel." " Come on, I gotta sit down." "I feel crummy." " What's the matter?" " Take your hands off of me!" " Why don't you run out and use my shower?" "Why don't you take a walk?" "Just take your hands off of me!" "Don't touch me!" " Just take a walk!" " Take a shave!" " I'm going to lick the sweat off." " Keep your hands off of me!" "Well, you look hot!" " Guess who I am." " Who?" "It's me!" "How you doin'?" "You're gettin' your picture took, huh?" "Let's, uh..." "leave now." "Your place... or mine?" " She's hooked." " Like why a cowboy?" "." "I'd say she was good for 10 bucks, but I'll ask for 20." "Why a cowboy whore?" "Did you know we were gonna make it?" "So, you really wanna do business?" "Who is he?" "Don't tell me you two are a couple." "Why are you laughing, Joe?" " You really a cowboy?" " Well, I'll tell you the truth now." "I ain't a for-real cowboy, but I am one hell of a stud." "A very expensive stud, and I happen to be his manager." " Incidently, how much is this gonna cost me?" " Twenty bucks." " Okay." " And taxi fare for me." "Oh, get lost, will ya?" "I agree, but for that service I charge one buck taxi fare." " Okay?" " Yeah, okay, okay, okay." "Oh, boy." "Here." " Go ahead." " Give me a break." "Listen, I don't even know what your name is." "I wanna know your name." "What is it?" "My name's Joe!" "Joe, oh, fabulous!" "Joe could be anyone." "I like that." "Move over, Joe." "Come here, Joe." "Kiss me, Joe." "That's a very good idea." "Why don't you kiss me, Joe?" "Oh, my" " Wow!" "Too much." "He fell." "Hey, fella, you fell." "Is he all right?"

" Are you sure you're all right?" " Yeah." "Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah." "Hey, Ratso!" "..." "Well, it happens." " Don't worry about it." " It ain't never happened to me before." "You can bet your bottom dollar on that." "Where's the matches, ma'am?" "Over there behind that thing." "Maybe if you didn't call me 'ma'am'... things might work out better." "That's the first goddamn time the thing ever quit on me." "That's a fact." "You think I'm lyin' to you?" "No." "No, I don't think you're lying." "I just had this funny image." "I had this image of a... policeman without his stick... and a bugler without his horn... etcetera, etcetera, etcetera." "Well, I think I'm making it worse." "Maybe we oughta take a little nap... and see what happens." "I ain't sleepy." "I know." "Scribbage." "Shit!" "Look at this here." "See?" "There's an 'e' in 'money.' I mean, if that's your word." "M-O-N-Y." "That's just exactly how you spell it on that big building up there." "M-O-N-Y, money." "'Y.' What in the hell starts with 'Y'?" "Well, it can end in 'Y'..." "like, uh, 'say,' 'pay'... 'lay.'" "Hey, pay..." "lay." "Okay, cut it out now." "That's enough." "You're cheating-- teasing' me so I can't think." "'Gay' ends in 'Y.'" " Do you like that?" " Cut that out." "Gay, fay." "Is that your problem, baby?" "I'm gonna show you my darn problem!" "I'm not." "I'm not exaggerating." "I'm not." "I'm not exaggerating." "Listen, Marjorie, you should try it."

"Yeah, around 8:30?" "Uh, well, let me think now." "Thursday, 8:30." "Uh, well, I guess I can be available." "Hell, yes!" "Hello?" "Marjorie, it's all set for Thursday night at 8:30." "Yes, it's" " No, I can't talk to you now, so call me at the office later." "Yeah, okay." "Bye-bye." "Ma'am, Shirley, I sure hate to trouble you, but" "Sure." " Twenty, wasn't it?" " Yes'm." "Bye." "Hey, boy, look right in there!" "What do ya see?" "Look in there, boy!" "Some of that stuff's for you too!" "Look." "Try that on for size for you." "I got some of that stuff you like to swill too." "Aspirin, Mentholatum, all that crap." " What's the matter?" "They wrong?" " They're okay." "Only why'd you buy 'em?" "While you were gettin' the aspirin, I could've lifted this." " Is that hot?" " Yeah." "You want some soup?" " Yeah." " I'll get you some soup, then." "We ain't gonna have to steal no more, is what I'm tryin' to tell ya." "I got eight bucks in my damn pockets."

" Yeah?" " Yeah." "She turned into a damn alley cat." " Thanks for the stuff." " Don't mention it." "It's good." "Hey, listen, don't get sore or anything, okay?" "I ain't sore." "I don't think I can walk anymore." "I mean, I've been fallin' down a lot." "I'm scared." "What are you scared of?" "You know what they do to you when they know you can't" "When they find out that you can't wa-- walk." "Oh, Christ!" "I gotta lay down." " Okay, okay." " I gotta lay down." "You're gonna lay down now." "Just take it easy." " I'm gonna..." " lay you down." "Lay down." "There you go." "I'm gonna put this thing over ya." "Now you stay here." "Where you goin'?" " I gotta get a doctor." " What?" " I gotta get a doctor." " You ain't gettin' me no doctor." "You're sick, boy." "You need a damn doctor." "No doctors, no cops." "Don't be so stupid." " What the hell you want me to do?" " Florida." "You get me to Florida." " Hell, I can't go to Florida now." " Just put me on a bus." "Just put me on a bus." "I don't need you." "You got the damn fever." "How the hell you gonna get to Florida?" "Just get me on a bus." "You ain't sending' me to Bellevue." "All right." "What are you doin' that for?" "It's hot." "You're sick." "I'm keepin' it on you." "I'm too hot now." "Dumb." "Boy, you're really dumb." "I don't need you." "You're dumb." " Shut up!" "Shut up!" "Just shut up!" " Dumb cowboy, boy." "Damn it!" "Shut up!" "Just when things are goin' right for me, you gotta pull a damn stunt like this." "Hi, Shirley." "How you doin', girl?" "Miss who?" "Well, when will Mrs. Gardner be home?" "This is a friend of hers." "This is a goddamn good friend of hers." "Well, hell, I can't wait that long." "Too bad." "Well, we all have our off days." "I'm Townsend P. Locke, from Chicago." "Call me Towny." "I'm here on a paper manufacturer's convention and, frankly... to have a little fun, damn it." "This is my first night in town, and I'd concerned privileged if you'd have dinner with me." "Any day you say." "There's a little French restaurant not too far from here." "Italian restaurant?" "Does that appeal to you?" "Don't worry about how you're dressed." "They know me." "Besides, I'll tell 'em you're with the rodeo." "There's always a rodeo in town, damn it." "Besides, you look... you look very elegant." "Oh, but damn it all, we can't do that." "I'm expecting a phone call back at the hotel." "Mama?" "A coincidence." "Guess who was being discussed?" "Have you got that thing turned up?" "Well, why aren't you wearing it?" "Oh, really, Mama, this is just impossible." "I mean, why go to all the expense?" "Listen, Towny." "Did I tell you I got me a sick kid on my hands?" "Well, he's sick on chill, and I gotta get him south quick as I can." "I got me a sick boy... and I'm gonna get him south." "Do you understand me, Towny?" "I'm gonna get him south." "What you want?" "What you got me up here for?" "Oh, Joe, it's" "It's so difficult." "You're a nice person, Joe." "I should never have asked you up here." "You're a lovely person, really." "Oh, God, I loathe life." "I loathe it." "Please go." " Please." " You want me to leave?" "No..." "I mean, yes, yes." "Please go." "Come back tomorrow." " Promise?" " I'm goin' to Florida tomorrow." "That's terrible." "You meet someone, you think-- Yeah." "I want to give you a present... for your trip." "Please take it." "I want you to have it." "You don't have to be a Catholic." "St. Christopher's the patron saint of all travellers." "I want you to take it." "It's for helping me be good." "I gotta have money." "Yes, of course." "Wait here." "I said wait." "Here." "Don't even thank me." "I gotta have more than 10." "I gotta have $57." " I simply don't have it, Joe." " I got family, goddammit!" " You're wasting your time, Joe." "There's nothing in here." " Get outta my way, please, sir." "Get outta my way!" "Let go of that table, please, sir." " Please, sir?" " No, please!" "No, don't, don't." "I deserved that." "I brought this on myself, I know I did." "My nose is bleeding, isn't it?" "Now, you gonna let go of that table?" "Now, are you gonna let go of that table, or you want a busted skull?" "Oh, Joe, thank you." "Thank you." "Operator." "Number, please." " Number, please." " Hello." " No, no, I wasn't calling anyone." " Hello?" "I wasn't calling anyone." "I wasn't calling anyone." "No, I wasn't calling anyone." "Oh, Joe." "Joe!" "Joe!" "Thirty-one hours." "11:30 in the morning we get there." "Not this morning... but the next at 11:30." "These guys are good drivers, boy." "They gotta be." "You didn't kill him, did ya?" "Got blood on your jacket." "I don't wanna talk about it." "If you're gonna shiver, put your blankets up more." "I've been thinkin'." "I hope we're not gonna have trouble about my name down there." "'Cause I mean, what's the whole point of this trip, anyway?" "You know?" "Keep your blankets on you." "I mean, can you see this guy, running around the beach all suntanned... and he's goin' swimmin', like... and somebody yells, 'Hey, Ratso.'" "What's that sound like to you?" "Sounds like I knew ya." "Sounds like crap." "Admit it." "I'm Rico all the time, okay?" "We're gonna tell all these new people my name's Rico." "Okay?" "Okay." " Hey, what's the matter?" " I'm wet." "You're" " You're what?" "I wet my pants." "The seat's all wet." "Well, hell, there ain't no use cryin' over the damn thing." "Here I am goin' to Florida, my leg hurts... my butt hurts, my chest hurts, my face hurts... and like that ain't enough, I gotta pee all over myself." "That's funny?" "I'm fallin' apart here." "You just-- You know what happened?" "You just took a little rest stop that wasn't on the schedule." "Let me put you up here." "Hey, what size pants you wear?" "Thank you, ma'am." " Where you from?" " New York." "You ever been here before?" "No, ma'am, I ain't." "This is my first time." "Well, I hope you have a good time in Florida." "Thank you." "Hey, what're you doin'?" "I'm zipping' your fly." "What the hell you think I'm doin'?" "Thanks, Joe." "These shirts are comfortable, ain't they?" "Yours was the only one left with a palm tree on it." "Clothes are damn cheap here too, you know that?" "Everything we got only set us back ten some." "Hey, you know, Ratso" "Rico, I mean" "I got this damn thing all figured out." "When we get to Miami, what I'm gonna do is... get some sort of job, you know?" "'Cause, hell, I ain't no kind of hustler." "I mean, there must be an easier way of makin' a livin' than that." "Some sort of outdoors work." "What do you think?" "Yeah, that's what I'm gonna do." "Okay, Rico?" "Okay, folks, everything's all right." "Nothin' to worry about." "Is he kin to you?" " Wanna close his eyes?" " What?" "Just reach over and close his eyes." "We'll just drive on in, all right?" "Nothin' else we can do." "Okay, folks, just a little illness." "We'll be in Miami in a few minutes." "Okay, folks, nothin' to worry about." "Just a little illness." "We'll be in Miami in just a few minutes." "Subtitle made by W11"
