♪♪

[Jimmy]
It was a typical
Hollywood party, I guess,

except for the way it ended.

Yes, I saw it all.

I knew them all.

Why they'd come.

For easy pickings
and bootleg rum,

the power
or just the smell of it.

For money or just
the hell of it.

And everybody was on
the make for a piece of someone,

someone's take.

They were there for kicks,

for bucks,
or laughter.

But Queenie,

what was Queenie after?

Queenie was
the mistress of Jolly Grimm,

funny man of the films.

But you recognize him.

A big man
in movies,

Hollywood elite.

Born Carlo Grimaldi
on Delancey Street.

[Jimmy]
Queenie was a doll
whose age stood still.

She used
to dance in Vaudeville.

Dark eyes,

lips like glowing coals.

The kind for who
men sell their souls.

Late Saturday morning,

broiling hot,

Queenie
woke up feeling shot.

Maybe she woke from a dream

with the cast
of the Four Flashing Hustlers

with love to last.

Used her,

abused her
in a checkered past.

So, now you know,

a fascinating
woman as they go.

Jolly was up,

ugly and threatening.

Hardly
the lovable comedy king.

Years ago, he showered
and shaved first thing.

But now, since they said
he'd lost his touch,

how he looked in private
didn't matter much.

He was depressed.

Obsessed
with the thought of a comeback

he needed to make,

and the thought of failure.

And what
was at stake if he lost,

which was a lot more
than the money he had cost.

A Hollywood trade paper
spread before him

listed the grosses
of Chaplin's picks,

and Harold Lloyd's
and Keaton's clicks.

The whole paper
seemed to ignore him.

Jolly, love...

Queenie is so tired.

Pour me a cup,
will you?

Get it yourself.

Jolly...

Queenie is so tired.

Who the hell
do you think you are,

The Queen of Sheba
or something?

Oh.

Don't worry about it.

It's okay.

Treating me
like a two-bit whore.

Oh.

You kind of
warmed me up.

You touch me again
and I'll break you,

you dirty--

Easy.

Easy, sweetie.

Well?

Okay.

The next time you touch me,

if I can find a knife,

I'll damn well use it.

Push that idea around.

My sweetie spats,
but I love her.

Oh, the hell with you.

Come on.

Let me pour you
a cup of Java, huh?

♪♪

Is this table all right
for you, madam?

Thank you.

Madam's coffee.

Here you are,
madam.

That'll be fine.

Oh, waiter?Oh, yes, madam.

What's this,
the list for the party?

Yeah.Which ones
are coming?

The ones with the little
red hearts next to their names.

Little red hearts.

The ones with the "X"s
have previous engagements.

Goldstone's not coming?

Did you talk to him
personally?

Well, his
personal secretary.

Queenie!

Queenie,
you know that Goldstone

is a big mucky-muck
at Metro.

For Christ's sakes,
that's the whole point

of this party.

If I can't get a studio
to pick up this picture,

we'll be in half
'til doomsday,

now call him back.

Don't get yourself
in a lather.

Murchison's coming and--

what's his name,
that...

Dutchman
from Mammoth Pictures?

Kreutzer,
he's German.

Okay, German.

[German accent]
You're a belle,
Fraulein Queenie,

you look ravishing
this evening.

It's my pleasure
to see you.

[laughs]

Oh.

Did the projectionist
call?

Yeah, he'll be ready
to run the film

at 9:00 sharp.

Oh, stop worrying.

Shh...

Queenie,
what do you think?

[Jimmy]
Grimm's chauffeur, Tex,
was an ex-bronco buster,

gun-toting extra
and a dozen dusters,

now retired,

and hired
as a man on whom Jolly

could depend,

butler and bodyguard,

and rarely in Hollywood,

an all-weather friend.

[door knocks]

[woman]
Tex?

Yeah,
come on in.

Here is the list
of liquor

for the party
tonight.

Twenty cases of gin?

Jolly wants you
to leave right away

for Pasadena.

He says, "Remember,
Ginsberg sent you."

Ginsberg?

Ginsberg
the bootlegger.

Knock, knock.

Ginsberg sent me.

And please, watch out
for hijackers.

You know, I can still use
a shooting iron.

How is the old boy?

Oh, nervous
as a cat.

He's always
being like that,

ever since
the beginning.

I remember
his first premiere.

He-- God, he's jumpy
as a porcupine

on his wedding night.

I need
a new vacuum.

Where's Queenie?

Using the other phone.

Queenie.

[vacuum whirring]

Shut that damn
thing off.

Goldstone can't come.

I talked to him
myself.

Why the hell not?

Well...

there's another
party tonight.

A real big bash
at the Pickfair.

Pickfair?

That Mary Pickford,

I always knew
she had a mean streak.

Well, didn't we
get an invite

from Mary and Doug?

Yeah.

I threw it away.

Well, we couldn't
go anyway.

And not tonight.

Those bums.

Ah, forget it...
Murchison's coming.

He said he'd drop by
before he went up

to Pickfair.You're right.

What do we need
Goldstone for anyway?

This is Murchison's
kind of picture.

It's got pathos,
and drama,

and adventure,
and class.

[telephone ringing]

Queenie, get that,
will you?

Hello.

[Katie]
Hello, Queenie.

Oh, Katie,
what's up?

Are you coming?

Hey, Peachy.

What?

[Katie] I'm coming with Dale Sword.

Oh, yeah?

She's bringing
Dale Sword.

Who?

Dale Sword, he just starred
in his first picture.

What's it called,
Katie?

The Sins
of Don Juan?

I hear it's terif'.

Where did you meet him,
at the club?

[Katie] Yeah, he sent a note to my dressing room.

Did he hear you sing?

[Katie]
Of course.

And he loves you
anyway, hmm?

[Katie] That dirty bum, he thinks I'm another...

I'll talk to you later.

Never mind
about the later,

just get here
for the screening, hmm?

Please.

[Katie] Sure, I'll see you tonight

Okay, Angel,
see you tonight.

[Katie]
Okay, bye.Bye.

Well,

they're coming.

Queenie,
that's swell.

You know, I got a real
good feeling about tonight.

Like when I first
started,

like there's
nothing I can't do.

Nothing that I can't get
if I want it bad enough.

We're gonna cut
for knees on this one.

I feel it.

God.

Oh, like that.

Uh-huh.

[hums]

Maybe, uh,
it's a little snug.

Mr. Fink, this jacket
is not just a little snug.

This jacket is three sizes
too small, at least.

Now I would like
to inform you of something.

I am what is known
as a fat person,

not pleasantly plump,
not stout, not husky,

just fat.

A fat person
requires a fat suit.

All my life
I've been trying

to convince skinny
tailors like you

to make me fat suits,
and what do I get?

Then maybe you
get a fat tailor.

That's very funny, Fink,
but this jacket binds me,

it constricts me,
it strangles me.

All I have to do
is move the button.

Fink, tonight
is the world premiere

of my latest picture,
Brother Jasper.

Now, I intend
to make a little speech

to introduce that picture.

It's a very carefully
planned speech.

It includes gestures.

At the end of that speech,
I am gonna look up

at the projectionist,

raise my arms
high in the air

and say the words,
"Roll the film."

Fink, do you have any idea
of what will happen

when I do that?

No?You don't?

This... will happen...
when I do that!

Now get out of here
and bring me back

a size 50 fat suit
in two hours.

Do you understand?

The garment.

Queenie, Jolly
doesn't need sound.

Forget all those
profits of doom,

not in this picture.

That's gonna be
sensational.

You really think so?

Yes, I do.

I think everyone
is gonna be very surprised.

By most of it anyway,
you ought to make a few cuts.

I...

I've been trying
to tell him.

Well, take it easy
on him today.

He's kind of all
jazzed out.

I know.

[Queenie]
Tailor,

dressmaker,
beauty parlor.

What's that mark
on your face?

That's a bruise,
Queenie.

Well, it kind brings
a bloom to my cheek,

don't you think?

I can't stand it when he
belts you around like that.

Queenie,
why do you take it?

I mean, what do you get
out of it?

Is a big house
and fancy clothes

enough to justify--

Oh, Jimmy,
what do you see?

Hmm?

A body.

Female body.

Couple of boobies, legs,

fine fanny.

That's all I was
before I met Jolly Grimm.

You know, when I
danced in Vaudeville,

I wasn't too nifty
in the talent department.

But I got by,

mostly on this
good equipment.

But when Jolly found me,

gosh, I was different.

Oh, he was a big star
and all of that.

Stepping out with Jolly.

All the waiters bowing
and scraping,

everybody
is staring at us.

Me waving
to all my friends.

I loved it.

I wouldn't say
I didn't.

But then,

it got to be
something more.

What it was, Jimmy,

is he was the first guy

who ever asked me
what I thought.

I remember when I
was dancing in Vaudeville,

two a day.

They had a sign backstage
that said,

"Do not talk
to the principals."

I couldn't even...

speak to a star,
you know?

So here was this...

kind of genius,

asking me
what I thought.

And not just
about clothes

or other people,
but really serious things.

The Geneva Convention.

[laughs]

Don't you laugh.

Actually, some things
I haven't heard of.

But I looked them up
in the papers.

He really was interested
in what I...

I had to say,

which is more
than you are, Mr. Morrison.

When I talked,
he listened.

See?

I understand that.

Really, I do.

But...

the way he beats up
on you, Queenie.

But he didn't
used to be like that.

Oh, he was always
kinda funny about,

you know,
the sex stuff.

But that didn't matter.

Especially at first,

he didn't get
so violent then.

It was only later
when the studios

didn't wanna back
his pictures anymore

and he started boozing
real heavy.

Then, it got bad.

It's been bad as long
as I've known you.

Queenie...

don't you think
it's time to...

well,
make a change?

[door opens]

[Jolly]
Jim, where
the hell have you been?

We're late,
come on, let's go.

Tex could take me
by the beauty parlor

after he drops you,
okay?

Beauty parlor.

With that face,

she must have a thing
for the sissy hairdresser.

Come on, Queenie, move it.

Well, that's the end
of reel one,

what do you think?

I think it's...Eddie, put on reel two,

will you?

Uh, just let it
roll out,

step on the pedal.

No, no...
the other one.

That's it,
let it go.

You need a driver's license
to run this thing.

Experience, laddie,
just experience.

Well, how'd you
like it?

I think
it's damn good.

The way you juxtaposed
Jasper's meeting

with the little girl
with the bell ringing scene,

it works wonderfully.

What did you think
of the opening credits?

Well, Jolly...

I mean, I gave you
screenwriting credit

right up there
with me?

But you didn't have to.Oh, I know, I know.

But I figured produced by,
directed by,

and starring
little old me was enough.

We agreed that I
wasn't gonna do this

for credit.

I mean, writing a few
title cards isn't writing,

is it?

I know, but I like
to help out young people.

You know, Jim,
this kind of credit

can be very
important to you.

Hey...

you want this credit,
don't you?

I mean...Well, sure.

It's just that...

Now, the second reel
has the cannibal scene.

This is my favorite.

I put in
a new title card.

Wait until you see it,
it's great.

Are you ready?It's all yours.

I want to talk to you
about the cannibal scene...

Take a look,
take a look.

What did you stop for?

It's the end
to the cannibal stuff.

Sure fire,
isn't it?

How about that new
title card?

"You can't boil me,
I'm a friar."

Great, huh?

It's funny.

Sure it is,
I admit it.

What's the matter?

Jolly,
I gotta tell you.

I think it's wrong.

I don't think
things like this

work anymore.

We can't just suddenly
have Brother Jasper...

Wrong?

Don't tell me
what's wrong ever.

I've been in the comedy
business for 20 years.

My instinct tells me
what works, what's funny,

you don't.

Look, for whatever
my opinion's worth,

I think that sequence
is...

corny.

I think...What do you know
about...

Just hear me out.

Leave it alone.

The entire cannibal sequence
ought to go, really.

Go... you must be
batty.

Let me finish!

Brother Jasper
is a very touching story.

It's about a monk
who is really

questioning his faith.

Sure it's funny,

but in a tender,
gentle, new way.

This thing in Africa,
it's too wild.

It's too slapstick

and it comes
out of left field.

You're gonna lecture me
on slapstick.

I was doing comedy
when you were pissing

your diapers.

What's funny
is always funny.

From Roman times on
down to right now.

Public taste changes.

Times are more
sophisticated.

Talented people
have to lead the public.

And here, I think
you're going backward.

Back to the same
old supposedly

sure-fire stuff.

Don't you talk to me
about my talent.

If there's one thing
I know about,

it's what's right
for me.

This whole picture
is me.

Comedy, drama,
pathos.

I got range,
Morrison.

I can do it all.

And that's what I
wanna show people.

That's what I wanna show
the ass-wiping studios.

You'll see tonight.

All right.

I've had my say.

Let's get on with the rest
of the reel.

No, go on, go.

I don't need you.

I still think
I could help.

No, go on,
beat it.

Go write a poem.

All right.

See you tonight.

[Tex]
Oh, Jolly,
forget about Morrison.

Tonight's gonna be
tremendous.

[Jolly]
I do not know, Tex.

Screaming at Morrison,
raising hell with Queenie.

Maybe I'm losing
my marbles.

[Tex]
Manage that nerve.

You could lay off
of the booze a bit though.

What do you think?

You're right.

I don't know, I think Queenie
is real mad at me, Tex.

She acts okay, but...

She is okay.

I'm scared
of losing her.

She doesn't
need me anymore,

not like she did
in the old days.

She's beautiful.

She... she could have
anybody she wants.

I think...

that's what scares me
the most.

I've been thinking
about that a lot lately.

Like you know,

what it would be like
if she left me.

You know something?

I'd die without her.

Ain't that a laugh?

I'm gonna ask her
to marry me, Tex.

As soon as I get
Brother Jasper

off the ground
and get a few things

straightened out.

Can you imagine me
thinking about

getting married?

It always scared the hell
out of me before, but...

I wanna...

I wanna do something
for her.

I wanna...

I wanna give her
a feeling of...

security.

I don't know.

I mean that's what
most girls want, isn't it?

She asked for that?

No.

She's got a lot of pride,
you know Queenie.

Do you think
she'll have me, Tex?

I told you,

she's nuts
about you.

But first, you gotta get
this picture

into the theaters.

Then you can take care
of the rest

of the things later.

Say, why don't we try
and find a fruit stand

before we go home?

Pick up some oranges.

Queenie is just crazy
about oranges.

Good idea.

Oh, Signor Charlie...
[speaking Italian]

Hi.

[speaking Italian]

Rosa.

Rosa, come here.

I got a big movie star.

[speaking Italian]

Mr. Jolly, I...

I see all your
moving picture.

Boy, you...

you sure make
funny moving picture.

Grazie.

Grazie tante.

Oh, Rosa.

Rosa, you know
who this is?

This is Jolly,

the funny man
from the movies.

Mr. Jolly, how come
you're no making...

no more moving picture?

It must have been
five years?

I just finished one.

Tonight's
the world premiere.

It must be great,
if it take you

five years to make.

With God's help.

Don't worry.

It's just going
to be great.

Listen, Mr. Jolly,
you're making me laugh

more than...

any of those guys

even all
of the Keystone Police

all put together.

Rosa.

Rosa, give Mr. Jolly
a nice kiss.

No, that's all right.

No, no, no.

Rosa,
she bring you luck.

She's, uh,
she's like a saint.

Okay, fine.

Come here now.

Oh, I got a little
present for you.

This is for free.

This is the best.

This was picked
this morning.

I want you to give it
to your missus

[speaking Italian]

Grazie.

[speaking Italian]

Grazie.

Your Rosa,

she's very beautiful.

No, no.

For your daughter,
hmm?

Saint Cecilia,
help me.

Maybe if you'll
suck in.

[Queenie]
Jolly,
Kreutzer can't come.

Jesus Christ,
tell him to hold on!

I'm gonna
talk to him.

Wait, shall I
move the button?

The hell with the button,
I'll suck in.

Hold the phone
just a minute.

Jolly's coming.

What's the matter,
Kreutzer?

[Kreutzer]
Can't make it
tonight, Jolly.

I'm going to Pickfair.

Forget about Pickfair.

[Kreutzer]
I can't disappoint Doug...

Listen, you've got
to see Brother Jasper.

It's gonna make you
a rich man.

[Kreutzer]
This is business
too, it's in my--

But... Kreutzer...

Look, I've got two hot numbers
coming to you tonight.

[Kreutzer]
Can one
possibly be a red hair?

Yeah, they both
have red hair.

Kreutzer, they'll play
Mozart on your stomach

if you want them to.

All right,
hurry up.

[Kreutzer]
Jeez.So long.

What redhead?Do I know?

He's so horny,
he'd wang it to Wilma

if he had the chance.

At least he's coming.

Angel, you look amazing.

Get out of here, Romeo,
I got to put on my diamonds.

All right, gorgeous.

The folks are beginning
to come in.

A little vino
to bring us luck.

All right, A toast,
I'd like to propose a toast

to a Jolly good fellow.

Oh, no,
I'm not drinking.

But I'll clink
to that.

Christ, what a crew.

Take a look
at Madeline True.

People flocked
to the film she made,

loving the cutie pie
part she played.

She was every
man's sweetheart.

Every woman's guide.

Venus and Adonis,

which she
never tried to hide.

Men dreamed
of a real-life wife

like this
adorable thespian.

Poor fools they.

The typical pair
of minor movie producers

stood engrossed,

bewailing
high production cost,

each of them
had suffered most.

In 20 minutes,
each had lost

a sum of $60 million
with gestures.

After which, they sighed,

drank, panting, tragic-eyed,

mopping
at sadly wilted collar.

And Jackie,

perfect of form and face.

In his veins
flowed the blood

of more than one race.

He left
a subtle trail of scent

floating
behind him as he went.

An Apache dancer
with a special act,

New York or Paris,
his house was packed.

He brought marijuana
for all to puff.

And later, he'd bring out
the stronger stuff.

Cocaine,
morphine, Turkish hash

everything
for a proper bash.

Poor Bertha,

now Jackie's
ex-partner in dance.

He tossed her around
on his last tour of France

until she fractured a leg.

Now, she walks with a limp.

But she still works for Jack.

She's his whore.

He's her pimp.

Eddie Mangione,
here with Grace,

a muscular stuntman
with a brutish face.

Good-natured if sober,
and gentle enough.

But look out
if you crossed him,

he could get rough.

Behold
the Brothers D' Armano,

otherwise, Oscar and Phil.

They sang,
they played the piano,

they lisped,
their voices were shrill.

They reeked of powder,
rouge, pomade,

piano wasn't all
they played.

They gave
new meaning to the concept

of the old-fashioned
virtue of brotherly love.

As I watched
their welcoming exhibition

did I feel
something a premonition

for a beast
with fair beauty by his side,

fragile hope
threatened by a fatal pride.

Or was the tremor
I felt inside just off

for the radiant
apparition of Queenie.

Exquisite.

Wending her way, descending,

greeting
her courtiers along the stair.

She was something you
could kneel before in prayer.

[indistinct chatter]

Sam, Mark, well,
moving in on my girl, I see.

Jolly, a good host
has to share.

Well, so, when are you
showing the pictures?

As soon as your
competition gets here.

You want someone
to fight with, don't you?

[laughter]

The Murchinsons are here.

Oh, yeah.

Excuse us,
gentlemen, please.

See you later.

Excuse us.

Hello, Tex.

AJ, how are you?

Good to see you, Jolly.Well, long time no see.

How are you,
Mrs. Murchison?Fine.

I believe you both know
the very beautiful Queenie.

Oh, how do you do,
Mrs. Grimm?

How do you do?

I'm so mad
for this house.

It's so...

Hispanic, I guess.

I always used to wonder

who lived in this house.

You know, every year

I run a little house tour,

a sort of ramble
to the homes of great stars.

And I wonder...

Would you let us
put you on our list?

Oh, Mrs. Murchison,
I would be delighted.

Mi casa es su casa.

Oh, splendido.

Come.

Well, AJ,
how about a bit

of the bottles or maybe
shot of vodka?

How long does your
picture run?

Eighty-two minutes...

maybe less.

That long.

Well...

we better get started then.

We're due some place in, uh,

in an hour tonight.

Can't stretch it out
too long.

Tex, let's get everybody
to the projection room.

Let's get started.

But Kreutzer ain't here.

The hell with him,
so he comes late.

What about Dale Sword?What about him?

And Kate,
they're not here, yet.

Couldn't we wait
just a little bit?

Is Dale Sword going
to buy Brother Jasper?

All right,
everybody, movie time.

I hate that dirty bum.

She swore to God
she'd be here.

And you say
you call it Brother Jasper?

Yes, it's based on the life
of Father Junipero Serra.

Father who?

He's a great
Franciscan missionary.

They call him
the Apostle of California,

but he was hilarious.

Well, I mean,
he wasn't hilarious,

my conception is...

[Kate]
Ta-da!

Meet my latest pash,
Mr. Dale Sword.

The sharpest blade

Dale, here comes Queenie

and this is Mr. Tex.

How are you?

How are you doing?

Oh, hello, Queenie,

I'm tight.

Hello, Jimmy.

Uh, Queenie,
this is Dale Sword.

Ain't he gorgeous?

How do you do?

How do you do?

[James]
She saw his
features sharp and clean.

He looked sporting,
he looked keen.

He made her think
of squash rackets, Polo,

and yachting,
and dinner jackets.

He had that air
of poise without pose

that only
a well-bred person shows.

Queenie, everybody
is waiting.

Come on.Jolly,

this is Dale Sword.

How do you do?

Nice to meet you.

Come on everybody,
it's screening time.

[indistinct chatter]

Dale, it's good
to see you.

It's good
to see you, AJ.

How are you?Very good

especially after
having seen the East Coast

grosses of "Don Juan."

You set a new house
record at the Orpheum.

The wheel was spinning,

Comedy was beginning.

The tragedy had started.

My friends,

when I first thought
about how to introduce

Brother Jasper to you,
I thought to myself,

"Jolly, be humble."

That's the ticket this time.

Then I thought
about it some more,

me be humble,

well, that's like,
Calvin Coolidge

dancing The Black Bottom.

[laughter]

If you saw it,
you wouldn't believe it.

Me saying all coy like,
"Ladies and gentlemen,

I do sincerely hope
you like my latest picture,"

when what I
really wanna tell you

is how proud I feel.

Proud for me
because I wrote it,

directed it,

and naturally I star in it.

[laughter]

Plus putting up
all the money for it.

And proud for my gang,

Ben, Jimmy a real commenter,

Nick, who wanna get
some sort of prize

for his sets,
and Eddy and, uh,

Frank
and Tex over there.

We've been living
and loving Brother Jasper

for a long time.

My friends say we
even have our fights over it.

But that's only natural
in the picture business

as you all know.

Now, it's time
to turn them over to you,

his very first audience,

to love I hope

or better yet to fight over.

He belongs to you now.

I'm a little
sorry to see him go

out in the world,
all on his own.

I couldn't be
giving him to nicer people.

No.

It's Grace.

Who?

My sister.

Oh, Jesus.

Oh, don't cry.

Don't cry.

I'll tell you what,

we'll go to the kitchen,

I'll give a piece
of Wilma's angel fruit cake.

Is that all right, angel?

Shhh, come on, come on.

You gotta be philosophical
about these things.

Whatever happens, happens.

I understand why my best friend

would throw herself at Dale.

I mean, everybody knows what
kind of life she has with Jolly.

Ain't no secret.

Kate, we gotta find them.

Oh, Jiminy.

I understand.

You've been stuck
on her for years.

It's plain as day.

But look,

sometimes you win,
sometimes you lose like tonight.

Okay, we both lost.

That doesn't mean that...

...a couple of losers
aren't entitled to have fun.

Okay, loser, you win.

Good?

Hmm.

Sure suits you.

Angel food

for an angel face.

You sure do remind me
of Queenie.

First time I met her,
she was an extra on the set.

She was starving.

Filling her face
with breakfast donuts

like she hadn't
eaten in a week.

Which she hadn't,
the poor kid.

I still remember

grabbing those donuts.

Next thing I knew, she was
sitting right where you are,

shoveling in
Tex's ham and eggs.

She used to hitchhike all over
the place just like you.

Did you put her
in your pictures, Mr. Grimm?

No.

I took care of her,
Nadine.

Real good care.

Grace says
I should be nice to you.

She says maybe you'll put me
in your pictures.

You sure do
remind me of Queenie.

Listen...

if you want...

you can kiss me
or stuff like that.

Hey, get away
from that kid.

Get off.

No.Nadine.

Wait, please,
don't hit him.

Please, don't hit him.

[indistinct chatter]

Trying to ruin a little kid.

[indistinct chatter]

What are you laughing at,
you tart?

I'll break your goddamn face.

You wanna fight?

You wanna fight you bastards,

You wanna fight?

Come on.Stop it.

I'll break
your goddamn face.

Don't hit him.

He'll kill, Jolly.

[grunts]

[glass shattering]

[groaning]

Goddamn you, damn you.

Hey, what are you doing?

Let go of me.

Hank.

Are you all right?

No, I'm fine.

Thank you.

It just hurts a bit.

That's what you want, some stud.

Go on, go get your rocks off.

That's all
that's on your brain anyway.

I'll get you good
you son of a bitch.

Why is she doing this to me?

I don't understand.

It had to happen.

She's young and you ain't.

I don't understand.

There's lots of guys before you.

There will be lots of guys
after you.

That's just how it goes.

No.

Oh, look, Dale,
probably ain't the first.

Don't say that.

Come on.

Be a realist.

You guys think you got some kind
of patent on fooling around?

A woman got needs too, you know.

Don't say that,
I don't-- I don't--

I don't want you to say that.

Come on.

Dale's probably number 679.

Last week, the milkman,
this week, Dale,

next week the bootlegger.

Shut up.

Listen, sweetie.

Shut up.

Shut up.

I...

...wanna marry her.

I wanna marry her.

I wanna marry her.

Oh, hey, honey,
I was just kidding.

I was just trying to make
light of it,

you know.

What's that on your face?

Jolly, what are you hollering?

Brother Jasper don't holler.

That's right.

That's one of my characters.

Hey,

you liked my character, huh?

My Brother Jasper?

He's all right for a gentile.

Hey, Katey,

me and Sam
are going to Pickfair.

Do you wanna come?

No, it's too late,
you crazy.

It's never too late,
they serve breakfast.

Hey, where the hell
have you two guys been?

I've been looking
all over for you.

We gotta talk a deal.

Remember, a deal.

Yeah, we'll talk a deal
at Pickfair.

Listen, I got this swell
new idea for a scene.

Where's Dale Sword?

Didn't he bring you?

Come on, let's get him,
we'll all go.

Oh, well. Mr. Dale Sword
is very busy.

Yeah.

Where's Dale Sword?

Where's Dale Sword?

[both]
Where's Dale Sword?

[both]
Dale Sword?

[both]
Dale Sword?

Daley.

[both]
Dale Sword.

Daley.Dale Sword.

Dale Sword.

Where are you?

Where are you?

[laughing]

Dale Sword.

Just forget about Dale.

Forget about Dale Sword.

Let me tell you
about this great vision.

It's real commercial.

Dale...Sword...

You see, Brother Jasper
walks into a bank

and there's a holdup.

Holdup, yeah.

You must be holed up somewhere.

It's great.

It's gonna be hilarious.

It's what you call, uh,

comedy high point,

you know, like Chaplin

eating his shoe or, uh,

Harold Lloyd hanging on a clock
or something great like that.

Of course,
it takes a great actor,

Come on, Jolly,
this ain't the time.

Come on down, Dale.

Katey is waiting.

That son of a bitch,
you wanna come down

and watch a great actor
doing a great scene.

Come on down, Dale Sword.

And watch a real actor
in action.

Come on down or we're coming up.

Yeah, Come on down
or we're coming up.

Hey, wait a minute, let me--
let me show them, Tex.

I just want to demonstrate here.

That gun is loaded, Jolly.

Demonstration.It's loaded.

Go away.Be careful.

Now listen, see,
Brother Jasper, he's got--

he turns the table
on these two thugs, see.

Come on, Dale.Turns the table on them.

It's party time.

Right on time, right on cue,
He knows the scene.

Jolly, let me have the gun.

Jolly, give me the gun.Silence.

Give me the gun, come on now.

Come on now.Bang.

Let go, Tex.

He's firing...

Jolly, put that gun down,
what are you trying to do?

Bang.
[gunshot]

Give me back the gun.

Queenie!

Queenie!

Queenie!

Queenie?

Queenie?

Oh, God.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Quennie?

Oh, no.

No.

Dale, Dale!

No.

Dale.

Let me go.

Let me go.

Oh, no.

No.

Daley, No.

Let me through.

Let me through.

[Kate]
[sobbing] oh, no.
