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

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.

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.
