idiot

oh stop talking about saturday night i'm

not talking about saturday night i'm

talking about this

make a date you must be robbing the

cradle

what's so funny you are he's old enough

to be my father that's the old fella who

came to my rescue saturday night my hero

no kidding

see

you were too tight to remember anything

if i hadn't told the cop to go in the

wrong direction he'd have picked you up

this is the old fellow who brought it in

he's rich and famous and very sweet too

johnny he doesn't pull any rough stuff

like you

well i had a chance to clean up in a

crap game all i needed was 50 bucks and

what did you show up with 15 for god's

sake that's all i had besides you kept

me waiting two hours in the rain and

then you gave me a dirty look i didn't

give you a dirty look listen any girl

who waits two hours in the rain for a

guy is gonna give him a dirty look

trouble with you baby is you have no

imagination

what do you expect me to do i expect you

to use your brains

but for cat's sake this chump is crazy

about you this is a setup he's in the

big money isn't he you said 50 000 a

picture didn't you but here i am

knocking my brains out trying to raise a

little capital and this is right in your

lap

you don't have to call um what's his

name and get a measly 50.

this bird is goofy about you

write him date him off i can't take

money off an old man like that

the cat's safe get big hearted and smart

lazy legs why see fellas in the big doll

without half my brains but ability isn't

enough you gotta have money to make

money capital but the boys at the acme

garage have cut me in on a half interest

if i can put up the money how much do

they want oh

three or four thousand yikes well for

cat's sake i'm not talking about chicken

feed use your imagination

you get an interest in a business like

that and it's a cinch to squeeze out

your partners then you're on easy street

jeepers the pipe dreams you have

now what about the letter oh i can get

50 or 100 perhaps but i can't get the

kind of money you're talking about i

wouldn't know

how johnny

be wasting my time johnny johnny

signed the lease well i don't mind if

you want this place to yourself

do you baby

what's he mean by that oh nothing you

know johnny yeah i know johnny all right

has he bought you that engagement ring

yet oh you seem to worry more about it

the catalog i have been oh

[Music]

foreign

[Music]

that problem seems just like i feel

they look there's a pair of them up

there they're building their nest

[Music]

say where'd you learn that

oh

when i was a kid

yeah i bet i haven't done that in 40

years

i feel like a kid myself today

[Music]

sold any pictures lately

why don't you paint my picture i'd like

to

could i bring my easel to your apartment

oh i'm afraid my girlfriend wouldn't

like that

how long does it take you to paint a

picture well sometimes a day

sometimes a year you can't tell it

has to grow i never knew paint could

grow

feeling gross you know that's the

important thing feeling

well now you take me well nobody ever

taught me how to draw so i just put a

line around what i feel when i look at

things

yeah i see

it's like uh

it's like falling in love i guess

you know

first you see someone

and it keeps growing and

actually can't think of anyone else

that's interesting

well the way i look at things that's all

art is every painting if it's any good

is a love affair

i never heard anyone talk like that

before

oh well

there aren't many people you can talk to

this way

so you keep it to yourself

you walk around with everything bottled

up yeah that's right

that's the way it is with me too

i'm sort of keeping things bottled up

too chris

the truth is i'm in a jam

you kitty oh you probably guessed it i'm

broke even this dress belongs to millie

i can't pay my rent

[Music]

well how much is it oh forget it

i shouldn't have told you

it'll spoil your day

oh but kitty i'll get out of it somehow

i couldn't take anything from you chris

no uh yes i i mean no no i couldn't i've

never taken money from a man and i'm not

going to now and i'm not going to spoil

our friendship oh but kitty uh

i couldn't pay you back oh

chris

maybe i could pay you back if you put up

the money for a studio apartment then

i'd have a place to live and you could

paint there

don't you see

you could paint my portrait

what's the matter

don't you want to paint my picture

there's something i've got to tell you

kitty what

i deceived you

i lied

i'm a married man kitty

[Music]

why didn't you tell me chris

you know i'm not the kind of a girl to

run around with a married man don't you

you know what you said about meeting

someone

how you begin to like them

and you can't think about anybody else

you should have told me you had a wife

chris

yes but i'm not in love with her kitty

you married her well i was lonely i i

couldn't stand my loneliness

well then you're not angry with me i

suppose i ought to be but

i'm not

not with you chris

hogoff give you a raise you don't even

make enough money to buy me a radio i

have to run downstairs every night to

listen to the radio the way i have to

scream and save and you're wasting money

on paints i'd like to know what you do

without me

poor dear homer

if only he had a graver i could put some

flowers

why you couldn't even ask me to marry

you i had to put the words into your

mouth i'd have been better off a widow

the only reason i put up with you is

because i'm married to you i'm stuck yes

and i'm stuck too

have you been drinking

no i haven't

let me spend your breath

no

then what's the matter with you why you

shouting at me well you keep blaming me

listen to the radio why don't you buy a

radio you have money his insurance money

i can see you've got an eye for art

that's one of my best

take a look at these

oh i didn't know you were a painter i'm

not

are they any good

well

they've got something

a certain peculiar

something

but no perspective is that important i

should say it is

look at my painting

where did you buy them i didn't buy them

i want to sell them or you want me to

sell them on commission how much do you

think there weren't i always start

everything at 25 then

you know it's a hard business selling

pictures yeah people don't buy art

nowadays

no appreciation no taste no perception

and no perspective

let me have your name and address

i'll come back later

oh john hi tiny

where'd you get that

off nick

what about my ring

you know how much a good diamond costs

well i gave you 900.

but you pipe down

you've been telling me what a dope the

old guy is maybe you're the dope

he tells you his paintings are worth a

lot of money

did you check up on his story what's

wrong with it they're worth just 25

bucks a piece that's what's wrong you're

crazy

if i weren't a gentleman well don't get

sore well and don't tell me i'm crazy

i tell you the old boys are phony his

money isn't funny is it he could borrow

dough or have it stashed away

or even steal it chris steele jeepers

johnny he's not the type he wouldn't

have nerve enough to steal well he

didn't get it from his pictures it may

be dumb but not about art the day he

took me to the museum he explained how

everything was done you should have

heard him people stood around and

listened

what museum the metropolitan yipe

they've got pictures there with a

million bucks

where you going

i'm gonna make a monkey out of you lazy

legs you can't take his pictures to the

museum

who says i can't

[Music]

you know who bought them

jane wayne

a daymond janeway

don't you know who mr jainwy is

he's an art critic

the best authority in new york on modern

art he took one look and bought them

both i couldn't even give him my

pictures not for nothing he wants to get

hold of you he told me to telephone him

you wait here no no

[Music]

[Applause]

[Laughter]

for cat's sake what's so funny

you are smarty pants

you're the mr fix it was going to make a

monkey out of poor dopey little kitty

so you gave away two pictures for a

couple of dimes and now you can't

collect the dime oh dry up

jeepers

now what what am i going to tell chris

he won't find out better heck he won't

that janeway's a critic he writes for

the newspaper ah golly you got us in a

spot i told you not to do it you're just

nervous the old guy who sold him doesn't

know me from adam hey give me that drink

i can use it

chris

huh he's got a key

well go ahead see who it is hurry up

oh i i beg your pardon but we're looking

for a man and i'm afraid i don't know

his name oh and i'm afraid i can't help

you

i'm sorry

look

there

these are his

oh there he is

why did you run away from me like that

huh

here fifty dollars less twenty percent i

don't know what you're talking about but

the pictures you brought me perhaps we'd

better introduce ourselves my name is

jane way this is mr delaroe how do you

do what is it you want

we'd like to find out who painted the

pictures

you don't know of course they don't know

that's what we're here for look if

you're a friend of the painter you will

put mr del oro in touch with him why'd

you buy those pictures if you don't know

who painted them

because they're good who painted them

no johnny no oh don't be so modest miss

marge now you see you got me in bed she

made me promise not to tell

that's why i made not like i didn't know

she is funny about her painting never

lets anyone see it doesn't even put her

name on her pictures so i observed

you're an extraordinary artist must

march oh no

see she can't stare for anybody to talk

about it she got the idea pictures

weren't any good that's why i took those

two to you to give her confidence

i knew they were good

now i'll take that money

i never would have guessed it was a

woman nor i your work is very strong

this march may we see some more of it

sure go ahead look in the studio

you're crazy to try a thing like this

for cat's sake i thought they were cops

i know what i'm doing they don't know

from nothing i can't fool that critic

you always wanted to be an actress now's

your chance you've been around the old

boy long enough to pick up his lingo

feed janeway some of that i'll get him

in here alone with you no no wait

how long has she been painting ever

since she was a kid mr janeway

never went to art school did she no she

just picked it up i guess i'm the only

one who's been encouraging her kind of

helping her along

as a friend you know

just a friend

oh i didn't get your name prince

say mr janeway she's uh kind of upset

maybe you'd go and talk to her

you plan to

well mr del oro

i wonder if miss march would let me have

all of these

well it depends um

what's uh in it for her

prices will have to be built up mr

prince but

i can usually tell whether a canvas has

been painted by a man or woman but you

fool me completely miss march your work

is not only original it has a masculine

force

how long does it take you to paint a

picture

sometimes a day

sometimes a year

you can't tell it has to grow of course

it's a matter of feeling you know how

how feeling grows

it's like

like falling in love i guess

that's a very good description the way i

look at it

every painting if it's any good is

a love affair

yeah i quote that oh no no no please

don't write about me

i can say you're going to be a very hard

case

why don't you have confidence in your

work

because i can't draw

you do all right

i just put a line around what i feel

when i look at things

you're a very stimulating person to talk

to how are you two getting along

i think i'm breaking the ice kitty mr

delauro wants to handle all your work

exclusively is it all right as a friend

i'd advise it could you come to the

galleries tomorrow what time

any time that's convenient

how about 12 o'clock and then lunch

afterward with me

well

i

she'll be there

i'm glad you're around mr prince to make

up her mind for her

i can see your tiredness marge this has

been enough for one evening

we'd better go until tomorrow

thanks mr janeway so on

good evening

night mr dora good night

good night all right

lazy legs

i don't know what you told jane way but

you got them eating right out of your

hand it won't stop with lunch well

what's the difference

if you mean oh stop acting like a green

kid

let him talk about what he wants to talk

about he won't talk about art if i had

any sense i'd walk out on you

you haven't got any sets

right here just like you'd sign a letter

come on

catherine march kitty

for cat's sake

put that one back

kitty

chris oh kitty i happen to be in the

name

your picture

long mr cross if millie drops him tell

her i'll be a tiniest place oh don't

bother i'll let myself out

hello adele

i dropped over the butcher shop like you

how long have you known catherine march

answer me

i don't know what you're talking about

how long have you known her

well now don't get excited uh let me

help you off with your coat are you the

one that's excited look at you get away

with that knife do you want to cut my

throat

how long have you known her

i don't know what you're talking about

don't lie to me you've been copying her

work for years pretending you painted

those pictures out of your own head and

all the time you were just copying the

work of a real artist i'll bet you're a

dela rose every day making notes where

you know where delaware's art gallery in

57th street have got a window full of

paintings by catherine marsh

you're talking crazy she gets 500 for a

single picture she's a genius

no wonder i used to think sometimes

there was something in your work

now i know why

if you ever do anymore painting around

here i swear i write that woman a letter

telling her you're stealing her ideas

with a thief

oh rather better watch out oh next thing

you were stealing his money

[Music]

not that one honey de la rosa is asking

for more pictures chris just finished it

he'll miss it janeway says the new

pictures are

the best things you've done

wasn't i right about janeway lazy lake

yeah but he gets on my nerves i've been

out to dinner with him three times this

week and now he's talking about

breakfast

he's getting that look in his eye all

you gotta do is keep it there well it's

all very well for you to say but what

about the wear and tear on my nerves

papa will take care of kitty

baby's gonna have a big diamond ring

and a shiny limousine

and a penthouse and johnny he goes with

the penthouse

[Music]

chris

how did my pictures get into de la rose

window

oh chris

don't be angry with me

no i'm not angry i just can't understand

it's not possible forgive me darling

i needed money

now we're gonna take the furniture back

it was humiliating i i couldn't ask you

for more you've been so generous

i just couldn't so i saw some pictures

you actually sold those pictures

oh i know i shouldn't have put my name

on him but

mr delaware wanted to know who paid him

and i i just couldn't give him your name

no i can't tell i'm different

no

funny part is it

it didn't seem to make any difference

yes well the funny part is it made a

great deal of difference

if i'd brought those pictures to a man

like del oro he wouldn't have taken them

i'm a failure kitty

oh you're a great painter chris

mr del oro said so and so did mr janeway

that is

they say i am well they're going to keep

on saying it oh crap oh no don't don't

kitty not don't cry i'm happy why it's

just like a dream oh chris is so good

sometimes well what difference does it

make whose name is on those pictures

chris it was a woman wasn't it

i thought so

i'm not going to put you in jail chris

only of course you're through

well i didn't do anything

i'm on a

i'm on a lawyer

where was you picked up riverside drive

he tried to get away in the martyrdor's

car that was my car

this is yours too it's got your initials

on it

but it's her blood

hundred and forty dollars was taken out

of her packable it was mine

it's her diamond ring worth all

five to six hundred dollars

you guys know a lot don't you it cost

1200.

here's her personal jewelry

not much value

but he cleaned her out well why wouldn't

i she didn't have any more use for it

did she

listen you guys i want a lawyer i'm a

citizen i got my rights

this belongs to you too huh

it's got your fingerprints on it well

naturally i picked it up how did i know

she was dead i thought she was asleep at

first

she didn't paint those pictures old

cross isn't as dumb as he looks

he painted her the accused brought me

two pictures he told me miss march

painted them in my expert opinion

there's no doubt about it she was a very

great artist she told me she was an

artist when she rented this studio he

was with her i didn't like him then and

i don't like him now

yeah he was mean when he was drunk

he said he was going to fix it when he

left my place around 2 a.m that's when i

tell him you look out johnny you killed

somebody

so he killed her with my ice pick and

then i heard her say hello johnny before

she hung up

he was there all right

what i don't understand just talk about

her being an artist i never saw her

paint that was one of her peculiar

traits she never let anyone see her

paint

i've compared a handwriting with a

signature

there's no question mr cross paint

he only copied her work he's a thief

he stole from me from his employer from

catherine march

my wife uh i i mean my former wife is

correct

i really can't paint

my copies were so bad i had to destroy

them forget say he's lying

[Music]

hello mr cross

oh

tom crocker evening globe

oh yes tom crocker joe williams morning

world conway for the legend hi

cigarette well thanks

going to sing

yeah

i don't like to cover executions but i

must say this is one i don't mind you

sure cook johnny's goose mr cross when

you testified you couldn't paint

nobody cooked johnny's goose except

johnny the way he shot off his mouth he

was a dead pigeon when he dragged the

girl's name through the mud

i watched the jury if he kept his trap

shut he might have got offered alive

sure the evidence was only

circumstantial what do you mean

got a fair trial didn't he yeah but

there's always a doubt

i suppose you fellas are going to say

there's a miscarriage of justice

that someone is getting away with murder

not me there's no such thing

mr cross nobody gets away with murder

how's that oh don't get him started

you talk your ear off that's his pet

theory

all right go ahead and laugh all you

like but no one escapes punishment

i figure we have a little courtroom

right in here

judge jury and executioner

i don't get it well murder never solves

anything how about it fellas you covered

lots of trials i'm sorry but i have to

admit you're right the problem just

moved in here where it can never get out

right here in solitary so what so you go

right on punishing yourself you can't

get away with it

never

now that doesn't make any sense well you

haven't seen as much of murder as i have

mr cross

i'd rather have the judge give me the

words and have to do it to myself

[Music]

what time they throw the switch

11 o'clock

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

i didn't do it i tell you i didn't do it
