Oh, I don't know anything about all that, ma'am

Well, I--I don't think she would like it

if she thought we were being too talkative

My husband is doing all the talking

but he is no longer part

of the local political establishment, per se

He hasn't been since 1932

when President Roosevelt appointed him adviser

And regardless of the outcome of the local election

my husband will stay in Washington

Yes, ma'am

As to the situation here

I don't know if he really cares

whether the Goats are good or the Rabbits are wrong

I mean, he's sympathetic to the Rabbits

but that has nothing to do with my situation here tonight

Our situation, I should say

Which do you prefer?

Well, I think you're a mighty pretty lady, ma'am

and either one of these hats will do you just fine

Goats or Rabbits

Oh, I don't know much about Goats and Rabbits, ma'am

Oh, you don't?

No, ma'am

Miss

Oh, hi

I'm in a hurry

OK lt's pretty lt's different

OK Shoot

All right This one is for Mrs Pearl Cummings

I'm sorry Pearl is the daughter

That's for Mrs Cummings

And that's very important

That's got to go right away

And then this is for Governor Park

And then we have President Roosevelt

We've got an emergency here

and we're asking them to call out the National Guard for us

I thought we could talk this over like gentlemen

Take your coat off

All here?

lt's all there, Seldom

Sit down

He's been picked up by some nigger gangsters

The head guy's named Seldom Seen

You'll find him at the Hey-Hey Club on 18th street

Wait a minute

On 18th street

They're going to knock Johnny off unless you stop it

I figure any guy that can tell

old Bandy Legs where to get off

can get these no-good shines to let my Johnny go

I'm keeping your wife for insurance, get it?

lf Johnny gets free, you get your wife back

lf he doesn't, I'm going to put a bullet through her head

H-H-Heinie

Carolyn, are you all right?

Yes Yes I'm OK

I'm calm, uh, as much as I can be

Oh

She's desperate, as you can tell

I'm cooperating

Are you sure you're all right?

I'll get through this

That's enough, Pussy You're eating into his time

No No I haven't taken anything

All right, Mr Stilton

Do what you got to do

Get on the phone to Lazia or Pendergast

or whoever else you know

I figure you're on the next train out of there

I'll phone you at your house when you get back

You better have the right answers by then

Your beautiful wife won't look so great

with her brains splattered all over the sidewalk

Looks like I'm going to have you on my hands for a while

Think you can stand the company?

I left my baby

Standing in the back door crying

Yes, I left my baby

Standing in the back door crying

Well, she said, ''Baby, as long as I got a home''

''You know you can come to mine''

When I leave you, baby, count the days that I'm gone

Got him around here somewheres

He's in one of these rats' nests

You can bet on it

You can count the days that I'm gone

You know, I don't really know what you're talking about

so it's hard for me to follow you

Who asked you to?

Nobody did

Well, then, shut up

Greed just grabbed your ass

and fucked up your think machine

White people are consumed with greed

Just can't get enough

Never get enough of anything

Even they don't need it, they got to have it

and don't care how they get it

You lie, you cheat, you hustle, you rape

You kill your mothers You burn your babies

You piss in the soup

This here depression is because y'all can't get enough

Goddamn bus ain't got no driver

Roosevelt up there in Washington

sitting down in his wheelchair

trying to put poor-ass crackers on Home Relief

And Marcus Garvey trying to put niggers

on boats to go back to Africa up there in New York

What the fuck are you going to do in Africa?

Huh?

You must be in some sad shit

to have to be holding up colored people

What am I going to do with you?

I'll think of something

Oh, yeah

Yeah, bet you he's in the basement

or some back room or something

What is that place?

I'm not talking to you, half-wit

Well, who are you talking to?

Myself

Well, so how am I supposed to know?

There are two of us here, you know

I mean, when one person is talking

it's reasonable to assume that the party who is speaking

is speaking to the other party, isn't it?

Now listen to me, operator

This is really quite simple

Let's not make a big production out of this

I want the Governor's Mansion in Jefferson City, Missouri

I want to speak to Governor Guy Park

and it's an emergency

Just one call I'll be right back

Henry, what can I do for you?

Guy, I need your help My wife's been kidnapped

A woman came to the house and took her

when I was on the train

The woman says she wants her husband back

Some of the colored have him

Where are you?

Where did this happen, in Kansas City?

I should get the state police in on this

No, no, no, no

We can't have any police I don't want the publicity

you understand?

I don't want this story getting back to Washington

where it can cause some real damage

lt has to be handled very quietly and quickly

Kansas City Tomorrow's Election Day

This is a tough call

Everybody's going to be distracted

Well, what about John Lazia? Can you contact him?

Yes He's the one--Lazia

I can't talk to him directly

I have to go through Pendergast, I guess

I don't like asking favors

lt will cost me down the line

Look, Guy, I'll make this up to you

President Roosevelt--

I know I know

You don't have to promise anything

Your wife's in danger Get her back

That's the important thing

Bess That's her name, isn't it?

Carolyn

Oh, yes, of course Bess is Truman's wife

Look, Guy, I appreciate this Thanks

Excuse me What time does the train

back to Kansas City come through here?

What did you think of her?

I'm sorry Are you addressing me?

Yeah, I'm addressing you

What did you think of her?

Who?

Harlow

Cheap Ha That's a laugh

Joan Crawford looks cheap, not Jean Harlow

Joan who?

She ain't cheap Her daddy's a dentist

Dr Carpenter Still lives here

Dentist? Doctor? Carpenter? Which?

Ah, useless

lt's like talking to a fish

Well, don't confuse me

Watch your ash

I mean, you asked me what I thought

and I'm telling you

Her hair looked cheap and brassy and common to me

Low-class, I guess, is what I'm trying to say

Are you trying to tell me that hair of yours

don't come out of a bottle

just like your cheeks and your lips and your nails

and anything else you can paint on?

Cheap

lf Jean Harlow's cheap, then I'm a monkey's uncle

What am I doing, yapping away with some idiot?

Sitting here like two hanging ducks

She ain't cheap

I'm not talking to you anymore

Great Great

Maybe I have the upper hand then

We're out of gas

I concede the merry chase

Maybe you're insane

You are dying, and I'm dying

Will you shut up?

I can't think with you talking like a nutcase

OK, toots Out

No, you can't stop what's already been decided

Something, whatever we discover it to be

Huh?

Have you ever shot a bullet through someone's body

like you talk about?

I bet I'd be better at doing that than you would

Give it a rest, will you?

Take another swig of that stuff if you have to

but don't talk anymore

I've been annoyed with your kisser long enough

Out of gas, huh?

Yeah A few blocks up

Don't have a gas can, either, huh?

Don't have a can

Excuse me, young man

Would there be a rest room around here?

Right around the corner

Thank you

You only get two gallons

There's a ten-cent deposit on this can, too, you know

What do you think you're trying to pull?

Leave the door open

Tommy guns You hear that?

Coming this way

Don't Don't Don't

OK, OK Don't shoot Don't shoot I give up

Let's go

Come on

Hey, you didn't pay for that gas, did you?

Here's your drink, sir

I don't want that I didn't order that

Oh, I beg your pardon

Here's your drink, sir

Thank you very much

Where are we going?

Well, we ain't goin' very far on two gallons of gas, are we?

I never thought of that

What?

Oh, gasand how long it lasts

Hey, nothing runs on nothing

Whatever you do, you're using something up

Even time

Light me, will you?

You know, when you said that stuff

about her being cheap-- Harlow

that was just a part she was playing

She's an actress, you know

I seen that picture six times

And I read in ''Photoplay'' she's making a new one

lt's called ''Girl from Missouri''

I can't wait to see that one

I'm from Missouri, too

People say I look like her

when my hair's blond

Weren't we just here?

We got to spend the night somewhere

I figure it's pretty safe

No one would figure we'd come back here

All the cops are going to be out

stuffing ballot boxes

Well, what do you mean ''safe''?

I mean, you know, people get killed here

Didn't you read about The Union Station Massacre?

lt just happened last year

I was working here, wasn't I?

Really?

Do you know that Frank Nash's toupee

got blown right off his head?

No more bets

All right

You have to understand Sheepshan

He's a loser

Losers have got to be respected

They're the backbone of my business

They're my customers

and I take good care of my customers

Spent all year waiting to come to this crap game

up there in Minnesota

putting these big wooden dicks into holes all over the ground--

telephone poles-- just to be in this game

He's the only colored man I know

got a contract with the phone company, ain't he?

That's right

Son, nigger's supposed to be respected

May I ask you something?

I'm not through talking

Sheepshan's an evil son of a bitch

lf he loses, he'll see bad luck written all over you

and he's going to want to cut you up

And if he wins, I'm coming for you

Then you're going to wish he done the cutting

Either way, you're going to hook up with Blue here

wherever you're going

You and him can work on your Amos 'n' Andy routine

Yes, sir

lf somebody doped Trixie

they would have had to climb up the ladder

through the window, and what would happen?

He would have barked

lt was somebody inside the Lindbergh house

So you subscribe to the theory that Violet Sharpe was involved?

Listen, nobody socks down cyanide unless they're guilty

I'll tell you something

lf this is the case, then those Lindberghs

should have gotten themselves a colored maid

and this might never have happened

Those Lindberghs were too snooty

They had to get English help

-Scottish Scottish -Whatever

Sure are a beautiful couple

Gosh, that baby was cute

Perfect

Beautiful couple, beautiful baby

He was only three years old

He weren't three Weren't even two

He was eighteen months old when they found him

I cried every time I saw his picture in the paper

You got kids?

No

Me, either

I got it

Whoa

Help us now

Pockets

Seldom

You got too many goddamn pockets

somebody gonna want to pick them

That's why I got a box

I'm sorry, Seldom

Only one man ever been in my box--Marcus Garvey

Garvey said to me

he said, ''Seldom, I want to buy me some boats

''and I want to take all the black people

''in America back to Africa

''I want you to invest in my Black Star Line

''make you a lot of money''

Did I ever tell you the story about Marcus Garvey

the Jew, and the white man?

No

They were shipwrecked on this island

and one day they was walking along the beach

and they find themselves this whiskey bottle

They start to brush the sand off the bottle

and out come this genie, and the genie says

''I've been here for 4,000 years

''and I want to thank y'all for letting me out

''Anything you want One wish''

So they turn to Garvey, and Garvey said

''Well, I would like all the black people in the world

''to go back to Africa and live forever''

Then he turned to the Jew

and he said to him, ''What do you want?''

And the Jew says, ''Well, I'd like to have

''all the Jews in the world

''go back to the Holy Land and live forever''

Then he turned to the cracker

and he said to him, ''What you want?''

The cracker said, ''Wait a minute

''You mean you got

''all the niggers in the world in Africa

''and you got all the kikes in the world

in the Holy Land?''

The genie said, ''Yeah''

He said, ''Well, then, shit

''Give me a martini''

Anybody want some pork?

Goddamn

Come on, boys

Let's hear some music

Bye, Blue

We wouldn't?

No, we wouldn't

Mrs Stilton, I'm sorry about this

But we just got here

What are you trying to do, be a hero?

I don't believe this I don't believe it

Believe it

You've got a gun?

You're pointing a gun at me?

At your own sister?

Oh, shut up and sit down

lt's not about you

lt's about Johnny-- my Johnny

That's all it's about

Mrs Stilton, I'm real sorry about this

I didn't know this was going to happen

I didn't know my sister was crazy

What the hell is wrong with you?

Why didn't you just tell me what you were doing?

lf I did, what would you have done--

called Pendergast or Lazia?

You think they'd go work for me?

Why didn't you come to Johnny? My Johnny?

What's he going to do?

He's got connections

So's she

You told me you were going to have her make a phone call

I didn't have much choice, did I?

Seldom Seen and those niggers mean business

They're going to kill my husband

We don't use that word in our household

We say colored

Jesus Christ

Blondie, you are plain nuts

You kidnapped her

I want my husband back

That's all I'm thinking about

And you've ruined me

You might even have ruined my Johnny

He's got nothing to do with your Johnny

robbing some niggers Excuse me, Mrs Stilton

What do you know about it?

They came after me, Blondie They thought I did it

or at least they think I was in on it with you

So? She'll tell them you had nothing to do with it

Won't you, lady?

What I find fascinating is that both you ladies

are married to men named Johnny

Oh, Jesus Christ, Blondie

You've gone too far

You got me mixed up in this

You got my husband mixed up

Your Johnny knew what would happen

He knew what would happen if he got caught

and, Blondie, they're not going to let him go

Yeah

No Not like you think

You got to give this up

and you got to let her go, too

because they're going to kill you

I can't do this anymore I'm sorry

T-o-n On Fifty-sixth

Henry

Mrs Parker

Addie

Fine turnout

Oh, hi, Miss Blondie

What are you doing out here?

Voting I just got through voting

There's a lot of folks

down at the Western Union been looking for you

Yeah, I bet there was What did you tell them?

Nothing because nobody didn't ask me nothing

but they were asking everybody else

About what?

About where you was and about that Mrs Stilton

You live around here?

Yes, ma'am Over on Olive Street

You got a telephone?

Yes, ma'am I sure do

Come on, Addie, I'm going to give you a ride home

I don't want to be no bother

lt's not far, and I can walk

lt's no bother

Besides, I'd like to use your phone if I could

Anyhow, get in

Thank you

Kind of tight in here

You know why Blue's gone and you're still here?

Because I want you here

I'm not sure I got everything

out of your ass I'm going to get

I know how you-all do business

I know everything there is to know about you ofays

Your woman come running in here screaming

''Can I have my husband back?''

''You got your money''

Sheepshan got the money

That put a smile on his face

That is, unless he loses

What about me?

Who's going to take care of my business

my reputation, my name?

Pearl, come here

Hey, how long you live here, Addie?

Nice neighborhood

Hey, that's the lady from the club, ain't it?

Which lady?

That one The one that was kicking and screaming

They had to take her out

You sure?

Well, I think so

You better keep it to yourself

One of Lazia's men was on his way

to the Hey-Hey Club last night, but he never made it

He got in a shoot-out with Sheriff Bash

I know about that I saw it

You saw it?

Never mind Keep going

That's what happened A terrible coincidence

So now some other fellas are getting your husband back

so it shouldn't take long

Johnny's OK?

Yes, he's fine

Because if he's not OK and you know it

you're wasting your time

Don't you tell nobody about what happened here

Can I have some money?

What for?

School

Everything all right?

You don't look so good

You did the right thing bringing her here, Charles

Now, you be on your way

Addie

Yeah?

Do you think we could rest here for an hour or two?

We didn't get much sleep last night

Well, it just seem like nobody did

lf my mother was alive, she'd cut your balls off

Woman went right to the point

She never, ever missed a beat, but, of course

maybe you haven't been treated as badly as she was treated

for so long

Tell me

You ever been treated bad at all in your whole life ever?

Then how would you know what it's like to feel good?

Right now you should be feeling good, and you don't

Listen to that music

That's Bill Basie

He's part of the reason you ain't dead yet

You know they give the death penalty

now for kidnapping?

Jesus Christ

What are you trying to do, give me nightmares?

My husband would never put me in the position

your husband put you in

Shut up

Everybody makes mistakes

You'd do the same thing for Heinie

Ain't that right?

No, I don't think so

You don't know nothing about love

What do you mean?

Yeah, love Real love

The kind that makes somebody else a part of you

a part of your body

lt's like he's part of my insides

You know what I'm talking about

Right?

Get me?

I think we should try and sleep now

lf it's real love, then you're both the same person

so nothing one can do could ever hurt the other person

'causeit's yourself

Good night

Like breathing

I lost my train of thought

I ain't scared of death

I deal with his ass every day

He come knocking at my door, asking me about people

'cause he knows I know everything

there is to know about what's going on

He's a cold cocksucker

One of these days

one of those knocks are going to be for me

but so what?

Sooner or later, everybody got to go

Some sooner than others, and who's to say when that is?

ln your case

I do

Listen to that music

Hey

Mrs Stilton?

Mrs Stilton?

Mrs Stilton?

Nobody in here

Excuse me I was looking for my friend

Hello

Yeah, hello

I was just dreaming about you

Me?

Yeah You was at the club where they play the music

I was, huh?

Black dress with a white collar

And one of our guests was the painter Thomas Hart Benton

You'll have heard of him

And he saw Lois, and she was part Cherokee

and he wanted to paint her, and she refused

Tom wanted her to pose

You had a dream about me?

Yeah You was up on stage dancing

and Charlie was playing the piano

Where's your friend, the other lady?

You know me?

I saw you at the club yesterday

Maybe you dreamed that, too

No, ma'am I saw you there big as day

You was kicking and screaming, and those men threw you out

What did they do that for?

How old are you?

Fourteen

You live here?

No, ma'am I'm from Joplin

Me, too

Come to KC to have your baby?

Yeah

I did the same thing once

Cigarette?

I never smoked before, but I'll try one

Tell me, are you familiar with the works

of Annie Fel'lows Johnston?

Yeah

Yes? Well, well, the South that I saw

is not at all as she depicts it in her novels

No ln the South that I saw

the Negroes are treated like dirt

Kansas City bears no resemblance

You own your home, big enough for your whole family

and your children don't have to work

We're leaving, Missis

Somebody's coming to pick up Pearl

Oh, that's OK I'll drop her

I know where she's going

Hey

Andthey sleep with the hogs

You can imagine my disappointment

Well, I'm sure we'll talk again

All right

I'll see you at work

Yeah, see you at work

Call me, Pearl

So get out today before the polls close

and cast your vote for the future

and the future of your children

Vote Democrat

You ever been away from home before?

Mm-mmm

You're going to do fine

Try and get a bed by the window

and don't let them hog the bath on you

OK

I don't know what your story is, but you'll do all right

I was bad off when I came here

You're fourteen, right?

Yes

Yeah See, I was seventeen

Thought I'd never see Johnny again

And I didn't see him whole time I was there

Then later, we got married

I was at the Crittendon Home

That's the home for white girls

Other than that, they're pretty much the same

lt's not bad

Everyone's in the same way as you are

They're all having babies

What did you have, a boy or a girl?

What difference does it make?

A baby's a baby

You can do whatever you want

I didn't keep her

Did you want to keep her?

I wanted whatever Johnny wanted

Let's go on up

Ladies and gentlemen, the Easy Eights

Anne, aren't you supposed to be on kitchen duty?

Yes, ma'am

Well, you'd better hop to it, girl

This is the nursery in here

lt's between the girls' bedrooms

and I'll introduce you to the girls

who you'll be sharing a room with

New roommate, girls

This is Pearl

lntroduce yourselves, girls

Hi, Pearl

The bed in the middle is yours

Miss?

Hey, kid

Good luck

So long

Sheepshan, my man, how you doing?

Last time I looked in, you had them by the short ones

I just can't get that out of my head

getting robbed by that white boy

Shit like that just keeps coming back at you

changing a man's luck

You know, Seldom, as long as you've known me

losing money has never bothered me much

As long as you've known me

you can say that's a fair statement, can't you?

I think that's a very fair statement, Sheepshan

You got a reputation You're a good loser

Last time, you said some other goon was getting him back

You said it wouldn't be long

That was almost ten hours ago

Something's wrong I can smell it

Nothing has gone wrong

lt's just this election and all the mess it's created

lt's just bad timing, that's all

I don't want to know about timing

I want to know about my husband

ls he going to be let go, or not?

Absolutely What you have to realize

is that to some people

the outcome of this election is more important

than your husband or my wife

You're not trying to stall me, are you?

Of course not

lt's just a matter of transporting him

to wherever you want him to be

Well, when is it going to beexactly?

Soon To be safe

I'd say as soon as the polls close

Now, remember, my wife's in this, too

Hey, a deal's a deal

I got to have Johnny before I'll turn loose your wife

And also no one better try to follow him

because if I see anyone suspicious around

your wife will wake up in a pile of dirt

only she won't wake up Get it?

There will be no problems, young lady

unless you create them

Now, I hope you won't go back on your word

I've never gone back on my word

lt's good we understand each other, mister

Johnny knows where I'll be

When I see him and when we can get away safe

then your wife can go, OK?

Yeah, I understand

You want to say something to her now?

Uh, that's not necessary I trust you

I don't want to get her excited, you know?

Yeah OK

You know the story Send him home

He didn't want to talk to me?

What? Oh, yeah Sure he did

He just didn't want to, you know, upset you or nothing

Well, all I know is these women brought her here

Well, who are these women?

What's their official capacity?

Everyone seems to be ignoring mine

Well, actually, it was Addie Parker

who called me about her, and I told her about you

All right That's another sore spot

Just stop right now

Things are looking good, Red

You're going to be back with old Heinie

before you know it

I am not pleased with the way this whole thing

has gone completely haywire

Blondie, hello What are you

Oh, I see You found Pearl at the station

Oh, well, thank you, Blondie

That was very nice of you

Nothing to it

Oh, welloh, Mrs Stilton

Well, I've got things to do

Thanks for helping out

Thanks very much

Lovely to see you, Mrs Stilton

We've met several times I'm Nettie Bolt

The Junior League

You two know each other, huh?

Oh, I guess so

You do remember me, don't you, Mrs Stilton?

Yeah, you'reNettie Bolt

Junior League

I'm sorry ls it something that I've said?

I

She's just not remembering things too clearly today

Know what I mean?

No, Blondie, I have no idea what you mean

I'm very confused here this afternoon

Mrs Stilton kind of got herself hooked on opium

Good Lord Opium?

Hey, it's OK

She's going to be all right

I'm taking care of things

Mr Stilton hired me to look after her at times like this

Heinie's in Washington, you know?

President Roosevelt

I'm sorry Heinie?

Henry

Oh, yes Henry Stilton

Yes He's a very important man

Yes, he is

So at this time, forget about it all

He doesn't want any nasty scuttlebutting

and especially from someone like you, huh?

Yes, Blondie I don't gossip

lt's not in my nature

Well, it was lovely to see you

I'm off to find Pearl Cummings

I have these goodies for her

Hello

What you going to do to those boys who did it, Seldom?

I've been thinking about that

Blue is already feeding the dogs

lt's the white boy

I haven't made a decision on him yet

but I think you got a vote in that

What do you think?

Shit, I don't know

lt's got to be something bad

considering how my luck is going

Oh, it's going to be bad

The question is, how bad?

You go on downstairs, play a little bit more

We'll take care of it

Yeah, well, I'm going to need another stake, Seldom

I think it's time I go against those dice for a while

I'm going to need another five grand

Oh, what the hell

You might as well make it five more

if I'm going to break that game

Good luck, Sheepshan

What's the matter with you?

I don't know

I'm very tired, I guess, now

Yeah, well, quit your moping

You're alive, right?

This is it Over

End of the line

What do you mean?

We're waiting

Close the door

Close the door

We're waiting here for Johnny, then we're leaving

Don't worry We'll play clean

We'll, uh, drop you off someplace

so you can find your way home

How's that sound?

Sit down

This must look pretty crummy to you, huh?

Hey, Daisy

I love it

Oh, well, that's a shame

What's a shame?

Well, you're not going to be living here much longer

Oh, yeah Right

So what? I don't care

Anyplace with Johnny's great with me

Wherever home is, I'm going to love it

I can smell Johnny when I'm in this house

I don't

What's the matter with you?

Nothing

Just kind of jumpy, I guess

He's not going to be home

until after the polls close anyway

I know how these politicians think

So this is Johnny, huh?

Yeah

Handsome, ain't he?

Yeah He's a killer

Yeah Hey, you see that tie?

I got him that

Six dollars

Pretty fancy

And this is you, right?

Yeah

Don't you look pretty

Hey, wait here a second

Tonk tells me you want to see me

Well, I've been thinking

Ain't no way I'm walkin' out of here a free man

I know that

One way or the other, you got my life

lt's yours

I got, uh, no say no more

I was also thinking

if you kill me, might cost you down the line

Killing the whitey, I mean

how are they going to look at you

black man killing a white man?

Even if he deserves killing

See what I'm saying?

Maybe the ltalians get down on your ass

Right now things are good with the ltalians Yeah

as far as the ltalians are concerned
