Attention! Attention!

The Langford express

now arriving

The Langford Express

now arriving track 6.

All right boys, let's go.

One two three

Come on fellows.

What do you say Joe?

You're sure seeing Europe the hard way.

Ah, it's better than dodging those sheriffs in Kentucky.

Besides we might do pretty good here.

Hi lover, did you miss me?

Miss you! I couldn't sleep, couldn't eat

- couldn't think - Yeah, ah hah,

You couldn't even write you muscle bound ape.

Come on, hurry it up, get in line.

You've got the only good looking pair of legs in the show.

Come on.

Ah!

Straight from Hawaii.

Come on over to the carnival grounds tonight.

Come on out tonight and see a great show.

Let your eyes gaze upon the wonders of all wonders.

All right, hold it, hold it, hold it!

Now pat attention everybody.

The cook outs are straight ahead.

Living quarters over here.

We go on tonight. I'll meet you in the cook outs

at 6:30 and give you the rest of the low down. Okay.

All right everybody, quiet, quiet.

Quiet! Just a moment.

Now you all know why we're here in Europe.

Back home we didn't do so good.

As a matter of fact, we didn't do anything.

They won't look at you freaks anymore even if we paid them.

The only one who came around was a sheriff.

Now this is the first American carnival

that ever played Germany.

Nobody knows whether they're going to go for us or not.

But I figure this way,

we might turn into a freak novelty if we give them

straight America mud show corn.

So, forget where you are.

Play it straight to the hillbillies.

Now you talkers, you'll have to work in German.

I've had translations made of all the ballyhoos.

So you read them right out.

And if we can't talk them in...

Pray them in.

The lady with acres of charm.

The one and only Miss Daisy May

Captain Snyder

Sword swallower extraordinaire

The human flamethrower.

This is giant Vice Groppo.

He was worshiped as a God.

Uh, animist God.

By the Dayak tribe of central Borneo.

Where he was captured after a terrific battle.

Uh... kampf.

Here we show him as a gesture

And in American Friendship

to all the people in the world.

(Speaking German)

All of these remarkable little ladies here

(Speaking German)

(Speaking German)

to the Gods of their fathers.

Watch the perfect control.

Control

Of the 200 separate and distinct muscles of the, uh...

of the belly.

Yeah.

All right, 50 cents. 50 cents.

Only 50 pennies.

Come on, only 50 pennies boys

and inside works warmer, they don't wear so many clothes.

There, who's next? You are.

Yes sir, thank you.

Thank you very much. Step up sucker. Thank you very much.

(Speaking German)

Come back in half an hour.

A cola, honey.

(Speaking German)

Thank you.

Hey you!

(Speaking German)

Oh!

- I'm hungry. - Hungry?

You're hungry for what? Blood?

Suck the wound, it may be poisonous.

If you're hungry, why don't you go ahead and eat it.

Thank you very much.

You speak pretty good English.

How come?

Of course I do

A hangover from the time

You're a pretty good looking girl.

So...

You know what might be good for you.

A little time in jail for picking pockets.

Some honest work.

Can you get me work?

Might get you a job here in the carnival.

I can do anything. I'm very strong.

You mean it?

Yeah.

Come on. Let's go see.

- What's your name? - Willie.

- Villie? - Willie.

Oh, Willie.

It's not my real name.

Someone called me that one time and it stuck.

My name's Joe. Joe Hammond.

Hi Willie.

Alright.

Joe!

What's the matter?

I've got some information for you.

You did not count your money.

I think this must be yours.

Thanks.

Willie, remember this, anytime you ever catch a thief

be sure and search him very thoroughly.

Charley!

Charley.

Well, uh, looks like we're doing all right now, huh?

Yeah. They're really going for that Tennessee Dutch.

Oh, uh, this is Willie.

Willie? From here it looks like a girl.

I think she is.

She'd like to join up with us Charley.

Oh now listen Joe,

I can't put everybody you pick up on the payroll.

No, no, look. This is an exception.

She's going to, uh... She's going to teach me German.

You know, to help out with the spiel.

What else can she do?

Now this is serious.

You can put her to work in the cook house.

- Washing dishes. - I will do anything Mr. Grayson

Even a few days work will help me.

Okay. Sleep her with the hula dancers, I guess.

You show up at the cook house at 6:30 in the morning.

Thank you, Mr. Grayson.

Ahh.

Oh don't worry about him. He's harmless.

I had him released from the asylum in Alabama.

- He's - No No No No No.

No he's just a little stupid. And he's a dummy.

You know. He can't talk.

Go back to your tent Groppo. Go back to your tent!

- Kids. - Get out of here ya Tom.

- Shut that flap. - Oh shut up a minute.

Come on. Come on!

This is Willie. She's gonna stay with you a while.

Well baby this is your new home.

What's the matter?

- Um - What's the matter?

Look uh, I've been traveling.

I'm unclean.

I'd be ashamed for them to see me.

Is there some place where I could take a bath?

Sure.

Hey uh. I guess the only clothes you own are the ones you got on

Yes.

Well. I think we can find something for you.

Come on.

Which one do I pull?

- What do you want hot or cold? - I want hot.

Then pull the one on the right.

Huh! Ahh! Oh! Oh it's cold!

- It takes a little while. - Ah! Oh No!

Ahh! Umm!

Ahhh.

You wet all over?

Um. All over.

Let go of the chain and soap yourself.

Oh.

Soap is expensive you know.

Oh it feels so good.

You all soaped all over?

Every bit of me.

I'm all smothered in bubbles.

I'm all slippery in soap and it's wet.

Then go ahead and rinse off.

Oh. Oh I hate to do it.

How do you feel now?

Uh. Clean.

You look clean.

- Umm. You smell clean. - Ha ha.

- I bet you taste clean too. - No, no. Please don't.

What's the matter? What's this. You've been kissed before.

What difference does that make? I've been married before.

Would that make you want to marry me?

I've been hurt before. Would that make you want to hurt me?

Uh-huh. I don't want to hurt you.

No. Please, please.

What's the matter?

You said I'd been kissed before.

Yes I have. Many times.

But.

But what?

I'll tell you only this.

For me you're different.

Don't take from me.

Let me give.

Oh? When.

When, when I've had time to think a little.

Hi!

- Hi! - Hi!

What's for supper tonight?

Meatloaf!

You're the new girl in the cook tent aren't you?

How did you guess?

What are you doing up there?

Testing the gi wire.

Oh.

Say. I used to pay the other girl a little extra

to bring a pot of coffee to my tent just after the act.

That be ok with you?

Be glad to. You have sugar and cream?

Black.

Ladies and gentlemen

The amazing act from the Colloni wonder show

From the height of 110 feet

Uh, I mean Uh (attempting German)

Still trying to speak German.

Which is only six feet deep.

Uh, (attempting German)

Ladies and gentlemen the great Colloni.

- Here's the coffee. - Fine just put it on the chair.

Now that's real service.

How do you say thanks in German?

Danke schoen.

- Danke schoen. - And you deserve it.

I saw your dive.

Like it?

Well you're very brave but it

frightened me.

Ha. It would probably scare me too if I saw it from the ground.

Ooh. I've got a headache.

You get them often? - Once in a while.

Depends how I hit.

Will you let me rub your neck? I used to be good at it.

Alright.

Um.

You've got strong hands.

- Hard work makes strong hands. - They always do hard work?

Not always.

Who are you? Where you from?

That's not important.

Ah. It's wonderful.

My headache feels better already.

Thank you.

It was a very quick cure.

Would you mind walking across the room please?

Why?

I want to see how you move. How you carry yourself.

Very well.

You mind taking off your dress?

At some times there are phrases in English I do not understand.

Did you ask me to take my dress off?

Afraid of me?

I'm not afraid of anyone.

Well?

You know what I was thinking?

Probably.

You're wrong.

I've been thinking lately the act might go better

if I had a partner.

That's all. Just an idea.

- A lady partner? - That's right. Can you swim?

Yes but you were thinking of me.

Why not? You've got good legs, good shoulders, strong hands

That's important when you're coming up.

You move well have good balance.

Yes but why do you ask me? There are many who move well.

Well if you don't want to just say so.

I... I don't really mean that I don't want to it's just that

I'm scared to death just thinking about it.

I know. I used to be that way myself.

But I found you can do anything you make up your mind to do.

Here. For the coffee.

Oh. Thanks.

Why don't you think about it for a while.

I'll be able to earn a great deal of money wouldn't I?

A lot more than you're making in that cook tent.

- A lot more? - Uh huh.

Think it over.

I will.

- Goodnight. - Goodnight.

Joe.

- Oh. Hi Willie. - Hello.

What's this? Bedside service for the great Colloni?

Yeah. And uh he said something tonight

I want to ask you about.

Oh, what?

He wants me to be his partner.

In the diving business. He said he would teach me.

Well.

Maybe uh, maybe he's on the make for you.

Oh no. He's very serious.

He said I'd be able to earn a lot of money.

What did you tell him?

I said I'd need a little time to think about it.

I thought I better ask you first.

Ask me? Why?

See if you minded or not.

Mind it.

Baby you've been overdue for a good break.

You think I'd stand in your way?

No, no, no. I know you wouldn't.

It's very dangerous you know.

Ahh!

I'm afraid.

Don't people. People get killed everyday in the bath tub.

Anything's dangerous.

You really think I could do it?

I know you can do it.

But listen you.

I don't want that Wisconsin cheese eater

moving in on my girl.

I'm glad you're jealous.

Sure I'm jealous.

I um, I gotta go check with Charlie about the receipts.

See you later.

Night.

Goodnight.

Oh even ten feet looks high from here.

It is.

Ahh!

Lesson number 1. Never look up. Not even when you're climbing.

- Yeah. - Never look up.

Now try it.

No matter how high you are take one look down at the tank.

Just one.

Then look straight ahead.

Shouldn't I watch you do it once or twice?

Nope. This is the way to do it. Now look. You watch me.

Turn around.

Soon as your head touches water. The very instant you feel water

Bring your back full up like this and reach for air.

You do that you won't touch bottom.

You ever do touch bottom from real height you're gone.

Got it?

Alright. I'll try it.

Alright you go on out to the end and do exactly what I tell you

when I tell you

Alright. Look down just once.

Look straight ahead.

Up on your toes.

Deep breath.

Now fall forward.

You got splattered.

Yes. I know. But how was the rest of it?

Terrible. Now go on up there and do a good one.

More gravy darling.

Oh yeah. Thank you.

Hi.

- What's to eat honey? - Meatloaf.

Honey, my cup's dirty.

So is your face my dear.

But we can get a new cup.

- Don't you dare grin. - Who's grinning?

These dishes need washing. Hurry up with it.

- Well get with it. - You get with it.

You'd feel sorry for everything that wears skirts.

Come on. It's only 25 feet.

I'll mark you up for good.

Cut it out!

You want to fight take it to the alley.

Break it up!

Go on Tami. You'll find him on top of some fence.

Don't whistle for me.

- Been in a fight? - Yes. You guess with whom.

I don't like it. Whistling for me.

That's for a dog.

You never let me know ahead of time.

You never take me out.

You just call for me as if I were your servant.

Baby what kind of a beef is this? You know I'm busy.

I don't know when I'm going to be free.

Well, from now on you have to find out.

You must treat me like a person who has feelings.

- Instead of.. - Instead of what?

Instead of what you think I am.

Baby I think you're mine too.

Anything wrong with that?

You shouldn't be so certain.

I can't help it if I'm certain.

Come on. Lets take a walk. Huh? - No.

What do you mean no?

I think you are fond of the that high diver.

I'm not falling for anybody.

You're falling for somebody.

Alright now I want you to arch your back more and

you get to the surface faster. You understand?

Ok. Otherwise you're doing alright.

Come on. It's only 75 feet.

Ha, ha, ha, ha.

Now lets see you do a really good one.

- How was it? - Pretty good.

Deserves a little present.

You go get dried off.

Come over to the tent I got something for you.

Oh but it's wonderful.

Oh it's so beautiful.

You're going to wear it tonight.

Tonight?

Sure. You're going off the top tonight.

Oh.

Shouldn't I try it just once?

You only hit the top once in your whole life Willie.

After that it's never the same.

There's only one way to hit the top the first time.

Right out there where the music is playing and everybody

in the whole world is watching.

- Yes but... - Here. Take this.

Go ahead. Just one.

Go on take it. It'll relax you.

There.

You go on to your tent and lie down.

I'll wake you when it's time.

- But what if.. - Go on Willie.

That stuff hits you fast.

Willie.

You go on in six minutes. Time to get dressed.

Six minutes.

- Frank I'm frightened. - Well I should hope so.

If you aren't I'd think you were crazy.

Ladies and gentlemen.

Welcome to the show.

(speaking German)

The great Colloni.

I should have said the great Collonis.

Look at the town Willie. Enjoy this feeling.

Look at those lights.

See other cities other towns shining like that tonight.

Be way up here. Cool and far away and high.

Looking down on them. Never letting them touch you.

The moment I've been waiting for.

I love you very much.

I wanted to tell you up here.

On your first night.

I love you Willie. I want you to marry me.

You can tell me later.

Now. You're on your own.

Music's over. The act is on.

Hey. What's the trouble?

Something happened tonight.

Which makes me very unhappy.

- Frank asked me to marry him. - What?

The cheese eater wants to marry you?

Well what do you know.

Why should you be unhappy?

Because he's in love with me and

I don't love him.

Well uh

Maybe you should learn to love him.

What do you mean by that?

That Wisconsin hillbilly should have

a good wad stashed away by now.

You could do a lot worse.

But Joe, I...what uh..

You mean about us?

Look.

We're not going to let a little thing like

you being married come between us.

If you ever touch me again. I'll kill you.

Alright all you beggars and thieves.

Like the man said, ahh there's good news today.

The show's a big hit and we got a brand new star.

And here she is the other half of the team

of the Great Collonis.

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

This is the happiest day of my life.

Not only because

I really feel a part of the show now

But because

From now on the Collonis are not just going to be a team

They're going to be Mr. and Mrs. too.

Music! Music! Music!

Everybody dance.

Frank.

Hey Frank.

Bill. Bill Vines. What are you doing here?

I'm here on an assignment for Life Magazine.

- Wonderful. - Uh

aren't you forgetting something?

Oh excuse me. Willie this is Bill Vines.

He was combat photographer assigned to our regiment when

I was peeling spuds for company K.

- She's my new partner. - Hello Willie.

I uh didn't know Frank had such a good eye for partners.

Come on everybody kiss the bride.

Alright. Stand in line and take your turn.

Alright next.

I'm not going to miss out on this.

You're getting a swell guy. All the luck in the world.

Thank you. No, Groppo, Groppo. You too.

Come on. Come on and kiss the bride.

Ahhh.

Lift her up so we can all see it Groppo.

What do you want?

Uh, nothing I guess.

Just thought I'd drop over and see how you're doing.

How things are going.

They go very well and you shouldn't be here.

Yes you're right, but

Baby

I never see you alone anymore.

You saw me alone.

You'll see me alone for the rest of your life.

You didn't want us this way.

I know.

I made a mistake.

I'm made it but

it doesn't mean I have to like it this way.

No. But there's nothing I can do about it now.

I guess not.

Oh there is

There's one thing you could do for me.

Uh.

You see I uh, I got myself in a jam and

I need a couple hundred bucks.

I thought maybe you could let me have it for a few days...

I haven't got it.

What do you mean you haven't got it?

Frank takes care of our money. I haven't got it.

Well.

Thanks anyway.

Baby.

Something else I need.

You've got it.

No Joe.

Maybe I can get the money quick.

Soon as I can. Maybe tonight maybe tomorrow.

You've got to go.

Alright. I'll see you tonight.

Meet me at the uh carousel.

Better make it about 12:00. He'll be asleep by then.

Ahh. You're crazy.

Frank finds you here I don't know what he'll do to you.

I'll take that chance.

See you tonight.

- Hello Mrs. Colloni. - Hello.

I saw him come out of here you dirty little cheat.

- And if you ever do it again.. - Be quiet.

- Well hello, Frank. - Hi ya, Peggy.

See you later doll.

So long.

What was she doing here?

Borrowing thread.

I don't like these Sunday afternoon shows. I

I like the lights when I dive.

Wanna get dressed? We go on in 20 minutes.

Ladies and gentlemen. I want you to meet the wonder of our show.

The fire eater extraordinary.

Captain Schnieder he heats the swords in the fire.

Ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to our show. I now present the

Great Collonis.

You waited a little too long after you looked at the tank.

- That's dangerous. - I know.

Nothing bothering you is there?

No I just made a mistake. Why should anything be bothering me?

Come inside so no one can see us.

Look Joe I haven't got the money.

I couldn't think of way of asking him without it

seeming strange.

- Don't you know where it is? - No. I never asked.

What kind of dame are you you don't know where your

husband keeps his money.

Look. I'll find some other way to get the money.

I've got to go back.

- No baby I don't want you to.. - No get away from me.

Ok.

I told you I'd kill you and I will.

What's the matter with you?

What are you talking about, you'll kill me.

If I knocked you down and kicked you

you wouldn't do anything about it.

Couldn't cause you're in love with me.

Couldn't help yourself.

Joe, you hurt me.

Baby, nobody else is ever gonna come close to you except me.

Nobody ever.

You're going back there and you're gonna get that money

and you're gonna bring it to me. We're gonna leave together.

You and me.

Oooh Rat!

Aah!

Oh Joe.

I fight and I fight but it doesn't do any good.

Until I met you. I never knew how rotten I was.

If you're rotten. We're both rotten.

Two of a kind.

We belong together.

Don't fight it.

Come here Willie.

Frank!

- Frank! - Get.

No Frank!

Frank!

No! Stop it! Stop!

Go to your tent.

Go to your tent!

He's leaving the show Charlie. Tonight.

I ever see you again I'll really finish the job.

I don't want no trouble in my show Joe.

You better pack your things.

Come by my tent I'll give you your money.

Better start packing. We're leaving the show tomorrow.

What are we going to do?

I'll tell you what we're going to do.

We're going to the States and buy a farm and live on it.

And work on it with our own hands.

When you're so tired you won't have ideas of playing around.

I won't go.

You'll go where ever I tell ya.

Do you think you can move me around like some varmint?

Your cat. I'm not an animal I'm a human being.

- You don't act like one. - I won't go.

I don't love you.

I won't go with you.

I hate you. I hate every man in the world and I

hate you most of all.

I don't belong to you. I don't belong to you or anyone else.

And I want my money. I earned it.

You have no right to keep it from us.

I'm not keeping it for myself. I'm saving it for you.

Where is it? Why don't you show it to me?

You must think. You must think I'm very stupid.

Oh! I've got to get my mind right.

All I want is my money.

I'm all through with you and I want my money.

Shut up and go to bed.

Frank.

Yes.

I'm sorry.

I'm really not much good Frank.

But if you want me

I'll try to be a decent wife.

And the U.S.

and that is where you want to farm

or anywhere else.

Then it might just as well be here.

I guess that's what comes with being a bachelor so long

I've done everything myself.

My own way.

Sometimes I forget that

I'm not alone anymore.

I'll try to be a good husband for you Willie.

- Ready? - Sure. Come on.

When will the pictures be published?

Maybe never. I haven't got an order for the assignment yet

but the, I think they'll like them.

Uh, especially if you'll uh open the cape a little.

Ooh. I hope this shows up in the picture.

Frank gave it to me today.

Real diamonds.

Beautiful.

Any special occasion? A birthday or something?

No. No birthday.

But uh, a very special occasion.

Nolan my assistant and I will be popping up all over the place.

But it will all be this flash stuff so just

play like we're not alive. OK? - Bye.

Ladies and gentlemen.

The biggest act of the show.

We present The Great Collonis!

I hope that didn't disrupt you. - No. Not at all Bill.

Aaaaah!!!

Stand back! Give us room will you please.

No don't look.

Please.

- Is there, anything else? - No, no, no.

Thank you very much. You've been very nice.

I wish there were something I could really do for you. I mean.

Really do.

I think all I need now is a little rest.

It was a real nice funeral Willie.

Nobody could ask for any better.

Yes. I'm sure Frank would have thought it was a lovely funeral.

You get some rest.

You'll feel better in 2 or 3 days.

Charlie.

Why did everyone act so strange at the funeral?

No one came near me.

On one spoke to me.

It's been that way ever since he died.

Why worry about them.

They're nothing but a bunch of characters anyway.

It's as if they think I killed him.

Oh. You ought to know better than that.

Gab, gab, gab. That's all they ever do.

There was an investigation. It was an accident and that's that.

Besides if they didn't have this to talk about

they'd find something else.

It's possible.

Uh Willie.

I've got a little business I'd like to talk over with you.

Frank's will.

He made it out the day after the wedding.

You get everything Willie.

I think it's a little more than you'd expect.

Five thousand dollars cash money.

- Five thousand? - Been saving for years

for that little farm.

Says you'll find it in the top of the trunk back of the mirror.

Cause I'm sorta responsible.

I'd like to have you look to see it's all there.

-Yeah? - Alright.

Think we better count it and see if it checks out?

No.

Frank said there was 5 thousand dollars.

That's what there is.

My whole life I dreamed of having money.

I was much more modest in my dreams.

Five thousand Marks was all I wanted.

Now I have 5 thousand dollars.

And I don't want it.

Of course you don't. I understand honey.

But Frank wanted you to be happy.

Why don't you look at it that way.

Charlie. I really have to get some rest.

I'll go.

These pictures will sell a lot of tickets.

I'll show 'em to the gang.

Poor Frank.

Even when he's dead he makes money for Charlie.

Made money for me too.

I got an awful big check for that layout Willie.

You see. People like those pictures.

They dramatize death. Gives them a thrill even in the photograph

to see Frank falling.

Ah perhaps.

Do you know why they'll come now?

Cause they'll be waiting for you to fall.

They'll want to be sure not to miss it when you do.

Did it ever occur to you Bill that people might

like to see diving just because they like diving?

Not a dive like you make They're waiting for you to make a slip.

They want to see you dead.

I want to see you alive.

Tell me about Frank and you.

Not much to tell.

We met. Fell in love.

Just like that.

Then we weren't alone anymore.

We did everything together because

we couldn't stand to be separated

even for a single minute.

That's why we became partners.

We were very happy.

Well at least he had that.

No.

He hadn't

I'll tell you what he had.

Really had.

He picked me up out of the cook tent.

He taught me how to earn a living.

He made a performer out of me.

He loved me and he married me.

By way of thanks I betrayed him.

I broke his heart.

And in one way or another

I killed him.

Did you love this other guy? This heal?

- Will you take me home please? - Sure.

No please. Don't get out.

I feel like being alone.

Thank you so much.

Goodnight.

Hello Willie.

I uh.

I didn't want to come around any earlier.

I was real sorry to hear about Frank.

Were you?

Of course.

I mean like

somebody we know.

I heard you were terrific your first dive.

After it happened.

I had a good teacher.

Yeah.

How's Peggy?

Peggy? Uh

She left.

I don't know.

Well I, I guess I better be going.

Where are you going?

Haven't made up my mind yet.

Doesn't much matter.

If you wanted it I,

I think I could get Charlie to give your old job back.

No baby.

You're doing alright now and I want you to

I'm no good for you.

Joe.

Harry.

Hi Willie.

Will you get Charlie to come to my tent as soon as he can?

- And it's very important. - Sure.

- Right away. - Thanks.

Wanna see me?

Sit down.

There's uh something we haven't talked about.

Yeah?

What's that?

My new salary.

You were paying Frank 2 hundred and me 125.

That's 325 for the whole act right?

Yeah well you see I..

From now on the act only costs you 300.

I was thinking around 200 and then maybe a little later...

It's 300 Charlie or I don't go on.

And I'm not joking.

No, I don't believe you are.

Then it's settled?

Yeah.

By the way.

You haven't seen Joe around this morning have you?

Joe? No why?

I didn't even know he was back.

He was.

Is there anything wrong Willie?

Not a thing. Why?

I was just wondering

the way you held me up for that 300 dollars just now.

That wasn't like you Willie.

It's going to be like me from now on.

I'm turning smart.

Very smart.

You don't have to convince me.

The Great Colloni.

You can tell them tonight that I'll dive like Frank did.

I'll do the summersault dive.

Gee that's great kid but do you know what you're doing?

Improving the act Charlie. That's what I'm doing.

And after the dive you come to my tent

and we'll talk about money. More money to be exact.

MS. Colloni tonight will attempt a summersault dive.

(speaking German)

Aaah!

Come here will you?

Willie! Come on Willie.

Ok. Ok. Take her arm.

The doctor says you're going to be great.

It'll take a little while but your going to be alright.

How did you get that scar on your cheek?

Oh that that. I got a nick during the war.

I was a photographer at that headquarters

I was snapping a photograph of some VIP

75 miles behind the front one day when a

flashbulb exploded in my face.

I always felt they should have given me the purple heart for it

I like it.

Gives you sort of a sporty look

You like?

I like very much.

Willie. I want to ask you a question.

That's why I brought you here. It's a very

- important question and I.. - Bill I, I can't.

I just can't.

I might even want to but I can't.

You're throwing away an awful lot of years

that might be good for us both.

I know.

I'll probably be sorry for the rest of my life.

I've never brought good fortune to anybody.

Least of all to myself.

Are you sure it isn't Joe?

Do you still love him?

I don't know what love is.

I think you love me.

Stop, with all those people watching

Excuse me but you have a phone call from Frankfurt.

Thank you. I'll be right back.

Uhm. How much.

5 Marks.

Yes who's calling?

Charlie.

Oh how are things going?

Ah not so good Willie.

I thought we'd do better here in Frankfurt.

The most important thing is how are you?

I'm fine. The doctors say they're going

to throw me out of here the end of the week.

She's getting out of here alright

but she's not coming to Frankfurt.

She quit see, she's through.

You can take that diving tower

and you can sell it to junk dealers.

But to tell you the truth Charlie

I probably won't be coming back.

I think I have other plans.

Nice plans.

Uh. Just a minute.

There's somebody here wants to talk to you.

Just a minute.

Hi ya Willie.

Yes.

Yes I'm much better.

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

Goodbye.

Your attention please.

The passengers of flight 418

from Munich to Frankfurt will enter through gate number 2.

- Willie. - Willie.

- Willie. Hello. - I'm glad to see you.

How do you feel Willie? How do you feel?

Ah I knew you'd come back.

This show is really nothing without you.

Come on. I'll show you your tent.

Where's Joe?

Oh he's in town trying to drum up some business.

For me?

Oh Groppo.

We're very much alike you and I.

We have good things in us.

Lots of good things.

They're trapped there.

They can't come out.

Thank you.

Hi Willie.

Hello Joe.

I uh.

Oh yeah.

I uh guess I've got a little explaining to do.

No. Everything's alright Joe.

Let's just forget it.

Willie.

Uh.

Willie I, I don't want to forget it.

I want to talk to you.

Could I come back to your tent after the show?

Sure Joe. I'd like to see you.

Ladies and gentlemen. The star of our show.

The great Colloni.

Willie.

Why did you have to follow me?

If I were right for you I would have come back.

Joe's here. Did you come to Frankfurt to see him?

Yes. Yes I did.

Please believe me. I'm not running after you.

I just want to be around if you need me.

Look. I have to be alone now Bill.

Don't follow me please.

You were terrific. You're great.

That took a lot of guts.

I couldn't have done that. I mean go back up there

after what happened.

Thank you.

Uh. Willie.

I know what I did was a, was a real lousy thing to do

and I'm sorry.

The only thing I can say is I want to make it up to you.

You want to give me back the money?

Why sure baby. Sure.

But I want to do more than that.

Look. Without you this show wouldn't be worth a penny.

You know that. And what's Charlie paying you? Peanuts.

I can show you how to make some real doe.

You know what you should be getting?

A piece of this outfit. And I mean a big piece.

And I'm going to see that you get it.

That will be fine Joe.

Is that all you're interested in?

Baby.

You know better than that.

It doesn't work Joe.

It doesn't work anymore.

What's the matter with you? You nuts?

What are you talking about.

I'm free of you.

I didn't think I ever would be.

But I am.

Look baby. I don't blame you for being sore about the money.

The money. No Joe.

I'm only sorry it couldn't have been put to some decent use.

Instead of being carried off to the sewers by filth like you.

Now just a minute. Just hold it.

You can be sore.

But you or no other dame is going to talk to me like that.

Now let's stop this nonsense.

Come here.

I won't.

- You'll do as I tell you to do. - Not anymore Joe.

That's all over.

If you were starving to death and howling for food

I wouldn't throw you a rotten bone.

Ah!

Now.

I know what you're trying to prove but knock it off.

It won't work.

You're stuck with me baby and you know it.

Whatever I am. We're both made of the same stuff.

We are not!

I'm not dirty like you.

When I saw your money I was hungry.

Whatever I've done wrong shames me.

But you

You love to wallow in the mud.

You've been paid in full.

Now get out of here.

Get out of here?

Get out.

You could stand just like that and tell me to get out?

You think after what I did

Do you think I fixed that bar on Franks ladder

for you to tell me to get out of here?

Yeah. I did that.

I did it because I couldn't stand to be without you.

I did it for us. Because we belong together.

- You killed Frank? - No. No. Not me.

We did it. The two of us. The both of us.

Yeah. That's what everybody will think.

Yeah. And I'll let them think it.

Yeah.

Now.

Now tell me to get out of here.

Get Out!!

Ah. Uh.

Groppo!

Groppo. No! No! Come down!

No! No! Don't Shoot.

Come down Groppo.

They won't hurt you.

Please come down Groppo.

It's alright Groppo.

They won't harm you.

I know you did it for me.

And I'll tell them so.

You must go with them now.

No. He will not need those.

He will go with you now.

Poor Groppo.
