Archie Lee, you're a mess.
Do you know what they call such people? Peeping Toms!
Why didn't you bring me a double dip?
How long are we gonna sit here?
I've got to wait for my prescription.
What the hell's so funny?
Chinamen. People know the situation between us.
Yesterday on Front St, a man said to me...
"Has your wife outgrowed her crib yet?"
Three or four others haw-hawed at me. It was public humiliation.
Private humiliation is just as painful.
There's no torture to equal the torture...
which a cold woman inflicts on a man.
There's no torture to compare with it.
I've staked out a lot in hell, with a rotten house on it...
and five sets of furniture not paid for.
You've bit off more than you can chew.
Archie Lee, is that our furniture?
No, no it isn't.
Ginnie, sing us a song.
I shall not, I shall not be moved.
I shall not, I shall not be moved...
like a tree that's planted by the water...
I shall not be moved.
How are you going to gin out the rest of your cotton?
I ain't got time.
Big shot! Big shot! Big shot!
He's on the phone. If I was you I wouldn't hang around.
I've got the ace of spades in my pocket...
and I'm not going to give in.
Don't count on the law court...
justice here is as deaf and blind as that old woman.
I'll do my own justice.
Get Eddie, Bill, Butch, Rhodes, anyone.
Go while he's on the phone.
You don't know his friends, they're awful.
I've seen them.
I find you different this evening in some way.
Never mind that. Go, while he's on the phone.
Grown up, suddenly.
Let's go in now.
We've got nothing to do, but wait for tomorrow.
And see if we're remembered...
or forgotten.
