when you didn't call again she lost

what she had left of her pride

There's a chance perhaps you'll fall
Here to dance What that you

say You try

looking for somebody rich.

Howard Hughes, where are you now that we
need you?

He says he's in real estate.

That could mean anything.

Juniper berries, that's the answer to
irregularities.

I mean, it's not the same if it isn't
for money, is it?

Come on, Madeline, I'm late.

Fifteen minutes ain't paying yet. Got

tomorrow. Hey, break a leg.

Check the time. I have a rehearsal
tomorrow.

Okay.

We love you, Joey.

How you been?

Joey, similar.

Thanks. How you doing?

Hey.

Awesome. Welcome.

I sure love this guy. He's okay.

Dolly, you look beautiful.

You're in the first time.

Doctor!

Hi, darling.

Hi.

What time will I see you tonight?

But you got to.

Well, I mean, what's so different about
tonight?

Well, I know you're only going for two
days to Las Vegas, but, well,

tonight's very special.

Because, well, can I see you for an hour
before your plane?

Well, no. You know, I better call you
from the airport.

No, that's the best You

birthday then tell her tomorrow but tell

Good night, Gloria.

The rehearsal's at the 2 o 'clock, huh?
That's when I've got my audition.

Change it.

Did Mr.

Jordan call you?

Not so far.

And here, ladies and gentlemen, we have
your double -duty model, which can be

converted into a stole for your prom
nights over your taffeta and more.

How do you like it, baby? Oh, you
remember.

For she's a darling.

That's way more than a fantastic.

Zimmy, I'm... Hold it down, everybody.
I'm completely unprepared, Zimmy. You

shouldn't have done this.

Unless, of course... Oh, Joey, you
shouldn't have done that. Are you

After going with me for eight years?

You deserve it. How about a drink to me?
Oh, sure.

How about a song, Joey?

No, I don't want to take the place. Sing
it, Joey. Sing it.

I will never be alone.

You have set my sorrow free.

All the fears I've never shown.

Tears I've never let you see.

How weary I had grown Underneath my worn
disguise

Till you taught me not to hide

From the questions in your eyes

From the answers I can't give you

From the life I long to live

From the empty nights I've known, you
have spent because of me.

I will never be alone.

All my life, my love, my own.

You have set my sorrow... Yes?

Got a delivery.

What? Two bourbon dipping chips, diet
drinks, peanuts.

How much?

We'll have a call to put on Mr. Jordan's
bill.

Okay, just a minute.

Hey, hey.

Hey,

Lauren, what do you need?

Oh, a dollar for the delivery boy.

Jimmy, give her five, will you? Oh,
yeah.

Five.

Five.

Thank you.

The delivery boy's got to make out, too.

Well, thank you, Mr... Jordan, Joey
Jordan. Oh, I know, Mr. Jordan. Yeah,

You see my act? No.

What do you think of this?

It's okay. It's not an endangered
species.

I called it a girl.

Makes no bread for this purpose. They're
not in any danger.

They aren't?

So much for them.

Bye.

I just ordered some new booze. What are
you talking about? Oh, you can get

something on the plane. Oh, Gloria,
listen, I'll get rid of all these

Wait, wait, wait just a moment.

Hey, gang, how about seeing me off at
the airport? What do you say? Fantastic,

Joey. I'm glad you're having a party.
I'll see you at the airport.

I'll see you down there, kid. Let's go.
Go on.

Go on.

What's the matter now?

I'm not going, Joey.

What? I said I'm not going.

Well, this fellow's not going to
apologize for having friends, I'll tell

that. Yeah, but a thousand friends in a
million places.

I mean, if it's not Frisco, it's Miami
or L .A.

You have to go to Vegas for two stupid
shows and a lounge.

Well, he's a buddy of mine, and he got
sick, and I've got to help him out.

You met him once backstage at a benefit.

Why don't you do the same for me, kid?

It's not for him, Joey.

I mean, it's for the spotlight.

The dentist turns the drilling lamp on,
and you do five minutes.

Whatever alone, Joey.

Well, if you'd ever come away with me,
we could be alone, you know? I can't.

know that.

Sorry I ever heard of this cockamamie
job of yours, I tell you. Well, it pays

way, and it'll continue to pay my way
until we're married.

Listen, I'm not rushing you, Joey.

I mean, I got so much to do at the club.
You know Len Winters? He'd have a fit

if I ever walked out on him.

Baby, we've been going together for
eight years.

That's a lot of time.

That's not so much, Joey.

When I get back, we'll get reacquainted,
okay?

Good night.

Go to sleep, birthday girl.

I'll call you tomorrow.

Joey? What?

It's not eight years.

It's 13.

13 years we've been gone together.

It can't be that long.

Well, it is.

You deserve the coat.

For he's a jolly good fellow.

For he's a jolly good fellow.

For he's a jolly good fellow.

When's this plane taking off? I'm not
going to wait around here any longer,

Zimmy. Here, Mr. Jordan. I'm sorry for
the delay. Oh, hi there. Nobody's

complaining.

I sure wish we could get Gloria to go
with us. I don't want her.

Let me see. Hold on to that, John.

Did you know we've been going together
for 13 years? Yes, I did.

Why didn't you tell me?

Flight 711 for Las Vegas now ready for
departure at boarding area. Let's go,

Joey.

I'm not going anywhere.

Joey, the plane's going to take off. Let
it take off.

What do you mean, Joey? You can't do
that. I'm not going, Maury. Joey, now be

reasonable. Beat it.

Jimmy, do something.

No. Come on, boss, or we'll miss the
plane.

I'm not going, Jimmy. I waited too long.

Joey?

I don't need you to marry me. I know you
don't, Joey. I'm on top.

Top's a narrow spot. Room for one. Sure.
And I'll always be on top. I know that.

And you're going to be sorry you didn't
marry me.

All right, Joey.

Let's get married tomorrow.

Tomorrow?

Tomorrow.

Tomorrow I'm going to be in Las Vegas.

And tomorrow I got a rehearsal.

So let's just postpone it again, huh?

The night you had a year ago Her eyes

were sad Gloria,

Gloria Remember her

You asked if you could see her face A
pale perfume, a paler face

You stayed a while

What are you doing here?

Protecting the species.

Do you always go around following women?

I hate buses.

So do I.

They're one of life's realities.

They're all so uncomfortable.

Most realities are.

You have to learn to live with them.

Yeah? How do you do that?

Fantasies? Fairy tales?

Dreams?

I never dream.

Never?

Never.

That's why I followed you.

You're one of my fantasies.

You don't even know me.

I read about you in all the columns.

New York's number one chorus girl
freaked out over Vegas headliner.

You two have been going together a long
time.

It's only eight years.

Eight years?

How old are you?

Twenty -three. How old are you?

Aren't you kind of mature to be a
delivery boy?

You mean I'm too old?

Maybe. It's only a temporary job.

You can get stuck in a temporary job.

First thing you know, ten years have
passed.

You're the world's number one successful
delivery boy.

Kind of like being New York's number one
chorus girl.

Could I see you tomorrow?

I don't even know you.

I don't know you, but I'm willing to
take the risk.

You're conceited, you know that?

Uh -huh.

I mean, you're really arrogant.

I want to put my teeth.

It's important that I see you tomorrow
night.

Why?

Major DeSantis knows your name.

Earl Wilson spells your name right.

You're big stuff.

And you've got big feet.

ladies. Time.

Give me the swing, girl. Hey, Maureen.

Maureen.

Dancing for day, huh? Yes, girl. Back
line.

Do it.

Oh, Gloria, honey.

I want you to dance in the back line.
Let Maureen take your place in front.

Wow. Good, Gloria.

I'm trying something different. Do you
mind?

It's his idea, sweetie.

Well, would you care to dock me, Captain
Lady?

Oh, we're not speaking tonight, huh?

Drop it, Gay. I won't drop it. Will you
cut it out?

You're always sticking up for her. I'm
the one she's always picking on,

criticizing me. Who do you think stuck
me in the back line in the first place?

You're in the front line now, girl.

Well, it's too late. I just handed in my
notice.

You got the job?

Yeah, I just got the road company of
sugar. I start in two weeks.

Listen,

whose place did I get in the front line?

You're kidding.

Hi. Do you want to pick up after the
show?

No. I'll be downstairs at 1.

No. Does that mean you don't want to go
out with me?

No.

Listen, this is no way to treat me.

I mean, not after 14 long years. You
girls are all alike.

Peppermint, you don't know anything. You
don't try to learn anything for the

future.

Now, do this. I can do lots of things. I
paint. You think the glamour life will

last forever.

Well, nothing lasts forever.

When the face goes, you go.

Listen, Joy and I, we practically set
the date. Well, don't quit until you're

sure.

Quitting, Mr. W?

You're not?

I'm sorry.

I misunderstood.

I'm not going to end up selling cigars.

Oh, how weary I am blown Underneath my
worn

disguise

Dick Donovan is still laid up, if you'll
excuse the expression.

I'll be back for a couple more nights.

I will always be alone.

I will always be alone.

Night.

I would like to speak to Gloria Joyce,
please.

Who's she?

Here, take 20 for a cab.

I'm staying, but I'll keep the 20.

Who is she?

You'll take what I give you.

50 and no more.

Hey.

Hiya.

I miss you, you monster.

I miss you too, Joey.

What time are you, Pete? Well, Donovan
is still sick, so...

And I'm here with some friend.

You know, Maury got stuck on the plane.
Maury, say hello to Gloria.

Hello, Gloria.

Wonderful.

Hi.

Joey, what time are you being... What?

Three more days.

Well... Something's happened.

Something I didn't expect.

Maybe I did expect it. I don't know.

No, I can't tell you on the phone, Joey.

No, because I can't.

Look, just forget it, huh? I mean,
there's nothing you can do about it

I said there's nothing you can do about
it. Well, you just... Never mind.

She hung up on him.

She didn't hang up on me. Are you
kidding me?

We were disconnected, right, Morty?
Right, Joey. We love you. Right. Give

another drink before he falls off the
table.

I said no.

You didn't say positive, but... Joey
Jordan's not coming back tonight.

I read it in Errol Wilson's... I could
have gone with him.

But Vegas is party time, 24 hours a day.
I just happen to hate parties. It's

funny, yeah.

Great. You'll love where we're going
tonight. Look, it said no.

What do you mean, no? Look at it.

No, that's probably... Don't make a
big... Hey, listen, would you mind

explaining your friend, huh?

We all have to bring something so we can
swap with each other.

Swap? Yeah, we'll go into a swap
meeting.

Excuse me, Mr. Valentino.

You bring any old passé object, the
cornier the better. Cam.

What? Cam.

Whoever shows up with the most vintage
stuff wins a prize.

What's the prize?

A genuine, old -time Humphrey Bogart
movie made way back in 1951.

Way back in 1951.

Better be good, David. Just going to
wrap up the prize.

Because here is the winner.

Two people already brought Rudolphs. You
blew the prize already, man. Not this

one. This is vintage.

Vintage? I'm up to here in Rudolphs.

Who's this?

Gloria Joyce.

Gloria Joyce?

Joey Jordan Gloria Joyce?

Club karaoke Gloria Joyce?

The third girl from the left?

Captain of the line. Well, how do you
do, Miss Joyce? How are you? It's so

You know when I was... Make yourself at
home, Miss Joyce.

David's the winner. There's not even any
contest. David, can I talk to you?

What's so great? Two others brought the
chic.

You're dumb. The chic is a cover -up.

A Corinne in spring -a -later pumps and
a syndicate mink. Don't you get it? The

last of the species.

A real, live, living chorus girl.

But that's too much.

For that?

A genuine Carmen Miranda, personally
autographed, and you want to swap for

Okay, I'll throw in my mutiny on the
bounty telephone. Keep it, David.

Everybody's got one of those.

Oh, come on. I want the guitar.

All right, I'll swap you the guitar.

For what?

For her.

Oh, that's really low, man.

Well, I'm a low -type character.

But don't forget, you brought her here.

All right, keep your pride.

Take the guitar.

Have one more for the road. Oh, listen,
I'm not as young as I look.

I wonder what was eating around the
phone.

Maybe she didn't like the coat.

I think Glory's got a lot more in her
mind than a coat.

I suppose a thing like that don't work
out.

I mean, what are you going to do?

I mean, you have kids, then you're
really stuck.

You've been stuck for 13 years. You
might as well get married.

Get her on the phone, will you?

She's probably asleep.

How old was she on her birthday?

I don't remember.

Simi, how old was she?

She was 23 when you met her.

There's no answer.

Six in the morning there, right?

Yeah, well, she probably put the phone
under her pillow.

Zimmy, uh... Yeah?

You know, she's always been the only
one.

Oh, I know that.

Well, good night, boss.

Zimmy? Yeah?

Sit down.

Oh, yeah.

I know what you want.

Oh, yeah? What do I want?

Um, that I should take Maury for a walk?

Right? No, I don't want you to take
Maury for a walk.

Then what?

Oh, no.

Oh, yeah.

I'm willing to earn my 10%, but you're
the king of the benefits.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Garbage is so depressing.

Garbage is great.

There you go again.

You got the weirdest reactions.

I'm not trying to be weird.

No?

Just that people judge things by what
they are, not by what they mean.

You can identify a person by his
garbage.

Take this.

No? Take this.

Okay. This is a man.

Of taste, but limited income.

An intellectual.

Athletic, but very absent -minded.

Go on.

An excellent, but inexpensive selection.

Little known in this country, but prized
as a table of wine in France.

Mmm, has a nice nose.

Good year, too.

New York Times crossword puzzle. All
filled in.

Even the foreign words.

Listen, where did it say he's athletic,
hmm?

I give you a sneaker.

Worn from very serious use.

Why, I can't mind it. There's only one.

Means he's either misplaced the other or
mistakenly thrown it away or... Or

maybe he only has one leg.

Excellent. Good work. You're learning.

I don't understand you, David.

You wanted that prize so much.

Why didn't you?

I changed my mind.

I'm erratic, okay?

Yeah, but... But you won.

I mean, you won a genuine Humphrey
Bogart. I got the guitar.

Yeah.

I came in second in this New Jersey
contest.

I got a trip to Fort Lauderdale.

It's the only thing I ever won.

Do you think... Do you think there's
something lacking in your character when

you never win anything?

I went out with this man once.

There was nothing special.

He was a dentist from Minneapolis.

Nothing happened between us. I mean,
Joey was away in Miami Beach.

Well, he said... He said that he

could tell everything about a person
just by looking at their fingers.

There's something about you that misses,
he said.

I don't know what it is, but you missed.

It was tearing at my right thumb.

I still think about that even to this
day.

How could attendance from Minneapolis
say that I missed?

You emptied, burnt our birthday candle,
and the price tag joy left on my coat.

Can't tell much from my garbage, huh?

Just that the dance is over.

Can I come up?

Please.

I called you earlier.

Where were you?

What? I said there's a 9 o 'clock
flight.

I'm coming out, Joey.

Well, what about your job?

Oh, look, I don't care about my job
anymore.

I mean, all those years that I gave to
that crummy place, and now they just

treat me like pizza Kleenex.

Joey?

Don't you want me to come out?

Well, sure I do, baby, but I'm only
going to be here for two, three more

Now, don't crowd me.

You'll come when I tell you to come and
not before.

Well, look, just try to get some sleep,
okay? And be near a phone when I call.

Yeah. Yeah.

But when he didn't call again She lost

what she had left of her pride

She cried

Do you have to go?

I got a job.

Let's hope that you deliver better
there.

Look, I'm sorry.

I didn't mean it like... I mean, it's
not you, it's me.

I mean, that dentist in Minneapolis was
right.

Then say funny things when they want a
girl to.

You know.

I don't know.

Outside of Joey.

It's only been you.

Why pick me of all people?

I don't know.

Why did you pick me?

Closing in on me.

Do you ever feel like that?

Every day.

What?

Never used to be like that.

You're ridiculous.

Baby.

I don't think you're cut out to be a
delivery boy.

What am I cut out for?

Well, if you'd have finished school,
you'd have a better chance.

I mean, my folks made me finish high
school, and I never regretted it.

Why didn't you finish high school?

I did. I didn't finish college.

I got the award. I got a fellowship any
time I want to go back.

Then why don't you go?

I already know everything.

What do you know, huh?

I know I like you.

Not enough?

Angel Falls is the highest waterfall in
the whole world.

Kipling won the Nobel Prize in 1907.

William Driver was the first to call the
flag Old Glory.

Oh.

Old Glory.

David.

Why is it that some old things are
called camp?

And other old things are called antique.

Time.

You dig up something in ten years, it's
funny.

You resurrect the same old piece of junk
in a hundred, it's revered.

Time.

That's... Ernest Evans.

That's Chevy Checker's real name.

Ellen Bogan's wife.

Gloria, Joyce, Alan Bogan.

How do you do?

How do you do?

When I left New Jersey, I promised

myself I wouldn't change anything,
except my last name, of course.

I just never felt like an Alan Bogan.

Did you keep your promise?

Sure. I don't smoke. I don't drink. I
don't... I

guess school doesn't really matter that
much, huh?

I mean, after all, you grew up to be a
very nice boy.

Because I have a few facts in my head.

Well, you took me to a swap meet.

You made me look into a garbage pail.

Went home with me.

And you didn't leave when...

Miss. That for the dentist.

And that for the dentist.

And that.

And that. And that.

You saw something in me.

I mean, a boy with tops in his class.

That must prove that I'm not... I'm
not... I don't know what I'm not.

I know.

Are you Tom?

Yeah, I do.

What am I?

Anything.

Where are we going?

Zimmy, where are we going?

Dick Donovan's on his feet again. We're
going back a night earlier.

Can I come with you?

Simi, give her a bill for the cab, will
you? Yeah.

Joey, I'm in love with you.

Well, let me give her two bills for the
cab.

I suppose he's going back to what's -her
-name. Yeah, well, I suppose he is.

I suppose it's the last time you're
going to call her what's -her -name.

Starting tomorrow, she's going to be
Mrs. Joey Jordan.

Melanie, goodbye.

I'll get more.

Um... Yeah.

Is that, uh, one?

And one.

Uh, Melanie, uh, don't forget Maury.

Why innocent, David?

I mean, just because I don't smoke
marijuana.

Because you believe in the brash
exterior.

A shell of a man. An egomaniac. Can you
make coffee?

No, and I can't even boil water. It's in
there.

Then wash the eggs.

Watch the eggs. Listen, underneath that
brash exterior... Watch the eggs.

...happens to be a very considerate
person.

I mean, one who never fails to shower.
Do you sell cologne?

Wash his hands.

Doesn't that bug you?

Oh, of course it doesn't fuck me.

Why should it?

I mean, I appreciate his consideration,
his discretion.

You know something?

He must wash his hands like 30 times in
a day.

Why don't you leave him?

Why don't you go back to school, Ellie?

Hmm?

Toss the salad.

15 times, no more, no less. Okay.

David, you know, anybody would just beg
to have a scholarship like yours.

A bit underdone.

It's a ticket to happiness.

I mean, you know, you could be a
teacher.

You could be a scientist.

You could even be an expert.

What's the worst thing you'd do if you
left him?

Would he try to kill himself?

It takes a lot for a person to do that.

succeed he'd only make the gesture
dramatic way of saying help joy

jordan doesn't need help from anybody oh
hot garlic bread

yeah i think i get a job as a chef oh

david don't you want to do something
like really important before you die i

want to stay in the kitchen with you

I mean for yourself.

For myself?

No.

I do it for you, though.

A bit more seasonal.

You mean you do it for me? What do you
mean, what do I mean?

I mean I do it for you.

Oh, David.

I mean, if I could be responsible for
having you do something in your life, I

mean, well, I wouldn't feel so much as
though my life was... I'd be so proud.

You know, you're not going to be any
help to me when we go back.

I can't leave you here. You'd starve to
death.

That's impossible. I'm not coming in.

Well, she'd knock off before she
wouldn't finish her show. Under the

circumstances, it's understandable, gum.
What circumstances? We had to put her

in the back line.

Well, why did you do that?

Because she's been here longer than any
other girl.

I could get you knocked off. Now, don't
make like George Rapp with me, Joey.

Joey, it's not Len's fault that she's
not in.

I mean, I saw her leave last night.

Happy as a clam.

She was with another guy.

But we got two tickets to happiness.

And they're stamped and they're dated.

What time, David?

What's that for the 10 o 'clock train?

Oh, you hear that? The 10 o 'clock
train.

You think maybe I could take some
courses?

Huh? Like what?

I don't know. Like, uh, painting.

Hmm?

I painted that picture up there on the
wall.

You painted that? Mm -hmm.

Do you know what it means?

Uh -uh.

Neither do I.

She wouldn't do that to you, boss.

No, no, Dad.

I just want to know why she didn't go to
work.

Yeah, but she just barged in.

Since when can't I barge in?

Well, she might be sleeping. She might
have a cold. You know,

there's one thing you don't understand
about Gloria. I do. I understand.

Gloria's a nice girl.

The last of the nice girls.

Gloria?

It's me, baby.

Gosh, I didn't expect you. I may not
until tomorrow night.

Why the lot?

Well, I get nervous when you're out of
town.

Well, I couldn't wait, so we canceled a
night earlier. Oh, good.

Yeah. How about a drink? Well, sure.
I'll get it.

How'd the show go?

Well, it went okay. Yeah, it went fine.

Long flight. Thanks.

You're shaking.

Is that a virus?

I'm not shaking. Is that why you didn't
go to work? Look, I was going to tell

you about that tomorrow night.

Well, I came straight from the plane.
You don't mind if I wash my hands, do

Well, can't you use the kitchen sink?

Well, I gotta use the boys room.

Well, it's broken.

Well, I won't flush.

How's that?

Okay.

What's all this?

Pots and pans. You can't boil water.

Well, I'm learning.

So am I.

Here, Joey. Here.

No, thanks. I don't wash in other
people's leftovers.

Joey.

I'm leaving you.

For him?

That creep you got in the bedroom?

Probably somebody very large to follow
the boy star.

Let's see, who is it? Henry Kissinger?

Fidel Castro?

Joey. Shut up.

Let's get out of here.

Boy, it really have to be somebody to
big to go with a girl like you.

Girl has got to have a separate
apartment.

Pay her own way.

Travel alone, huh?

Girl that's good, a girl that's pure.

Who do you think drove me to that, Joey?

For 13 years, I had all of the troubles
of being married.

But I didn't have any of the privileges.

Don't you think that I would have liked
to have a home?

That I wanted to have a baby?

Well, you've got a baby. All you've got
to do is take him for a walk in his

carriage. Have you ever been to a swap
meet, Joey?

So all his friends can say, my, what a
young mommy you've got. Did you know

I painted that picture that's in the
bedroom?

Did you know that?

Did you ever really look at it? My
reaction is, is what an old wife.

Did you ever look at it? Did you?

David? Hello.

It's not just you, babe. We all got it.

Next month, the place goes topless. I'm
sorry.

What are you going to do, Mr. Talia?

Like they say in those Dan Daly movies,
it's the end of an era.

Peppermint?

Sorry.

Can I help you?

Yeah. Tell Mr. Joyce I'm back.

Uh, Miss Joyce isn't in.

Uh, your name, David?

And she, uh, left you this.

Oh, and this, uh, letter.

Remember the vintage Bogart movie?

The one you said was made way back in
1951?

Well, that was the year I went into high
school.

Tonight is Every Night, featuring the
most gorgeous girls in New York City.

Wait till you see the one in the middle.
Ladies and gentlemen of the audience,

this evening we are privileged to have
Mr. Talent himself.

And if we're lucky, perhaps we can
persuade him to take a bow.

On a show business as great, Joey
Jordan.

What a night.

I want to keep it.

Indeed, okay? Nice and bright.

I will never be alone.

The fears I've never shown.

The... Oh, how weary I have grown.

Underneath the... Well, if it'll listen,
barefoot boy with cheek.

Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a
minute.

Ladies and gentlemen, I've got a new TV
show called Doing Joey In.

And I'd like you to meet members of the
cast.

Alec, electrician, put a light on this
front table here.

Thank you.

This is the doer, right?

I'm the doee.

And I'd like you to meet another member
of the club.

Come here.

This is my ex, which comes before Y.

Every time I look at her, I ask that
very question.

Why, huh?

The rival.

The all -American delivery boy.

Which doesn't mean there wasn't some
other door -to -door salesman ringing at

her bell.

So there you have it, ladies and
gentlemen.

The Dewey, the Dewar, and the Duet.

There weren't any others.

Honest.

It's not true.

I know that.

But it is true.

There were others. There were lots of
others.

But... I lie.

So do I.

Why do you want me to go back to school
with you, David?

Was it the same reason as the swap meet?

How did you get that guitar?

Not what you think.

You wanted your phone number. I didn't
give it to you.

I fought for it with pride.

When I found out what was on his mind, I
didn't know what to do.

But you... You could have taken me out
of there, David.

You could have said... Fine.

Thank you very much.

But you didn't do that.

It kept me there.

Knowing how they were all seeing me.

How could you do that, David?

How could you do that?

I don't know.

I get it.

Part of me... I

can't go back with you,

David.

But you said... It was a fantasy.

I was playing your game.

Then I won't go back without you.

I'll stay here and I'll be the best
delivery boy in the world.

Or the worst delivery boy without you.

Blouse a ribbon bow the night you had a
year ago

Gloria!

Gloria, let me in!

Gloria! Gloria!

Gloria!

Gloria! Let me in!

Gloria!

No!

Let me in!

Gloria, let me in!

Gloria! Let me in!

Gloria!

Gloria!

What kind of sleeping pill do you take?
I've been banging on both doors.

I was having a dream.

I was having a dream for the first time
in my life.

Listen, Joey's... It's just like a
boiler room in here.

Open a window.

What is this doing on the floor?

I was trying to get suicide.

Electric stove?

We came back from Vegas to marry you.

I heard that before, Zimmy. And you'll
hear it again, and one of these days

he'll realize he means it.

You think I don't know what he does?

All those girls when he's out of town.

You think that doesn't kill me?

And you don't when he's out of town?

No, I don't.

I'm sorry, Gloria. I'm sorry.

But Joey is my boss and I can't get him
out of that club. You can just let him

rock.

Listen.

He would kill me for telling you this.

But when we left here, he... He broke
down and cried.

Well, if Joey Jordan cried, it was for
himself.

Who else do you cry for? Who did anybody
cry for?

Five minutes.

Hey.

You're not going to try anything funny
again?

No.

Where are you going?

I don't know.

I'd say that's a beginning.

You think if I get the number right,
Timmy, I'll get me a nettle?

Please, Joey, if you don't come, I'm
going to have to go without you. Well,

go. Who needs you? Beat it.

116.

What's she doing here?

Come on, Joey.

Let's get you out of here.

What does it say to me that she takes me
home, huh?

Who's that?

That's Elmer. Don't you remember him?

Elmer, no.

You gave him to me a long, long, long
time ago.

Elmer, why'd she do it?

I was sure good to her.

Gave her things, treated her nice. Joey.
All my friends knew she was my girl.

Things were closing in on me.

Don't you ever feel that way, Joey?
Never, never.

Your hands are dirty. So are yours.

Doesn't make any difference with me. I'm
bad.

But you.

With you it made a difference.

You were always such a nice girl.

Then why did you tell all those lies to
that boy?

They were the truth.

Is a nice girl, Joey. She is a nice
girl.

Just because of some kid 23 years old.
What about all the others?

People get lonely.

The dentist in Minneapolis.

It doesn't matter.

It's... What's on the inside that
counts? And I tell you, on the inside,

girl hasn't changed one iota.

She loves you.

You love her.

He only loves himself.

Why don't you wear this at the wedding?

Zimmy, my friend, we're getting married.

When, Joey? Tomorrow?

Tomorrow?

I don't know.

Yeah, well, why not?

Why not?

Right.

Maybe tomorrow.

Terrific, Joey.

Congratulations.

You know, if you had half a brain, you'd
get out. You know that, don't you, kid?

She asked if you could see her place, a
pale perfume, a paler face.

You stayed a while.

She liked your smile.

She told you then, but when you didn't

call again, she lost

what she had left of her pride.

He cried.
