:23:01
I can act any way I want.
:23:03
This is my place. I own it.
:23:06
- How do you like that?
- You what?
:23:09
It's his, all right. It's changed hands
1 o times. It's jinxed every owner.
:23:14
- But it's his.
- Why do you want it?
:23:16
I'll make it the hottest nightspot
on the coast.
:23:19
Oh, don't worry. None of your money's
in it. Not one red cent.
:23:22
In two or three weeks when we open, you
can beg to buy in. You and old lady Loomis.
:23:27
Two or three weeks? I'll be on this picture
for months. I can't play outside dates.
:23:32
Did I ask you?
This joint, I make a success.
:23:35
Don't blame me. I told him
it was no cinch, this business.
:23:38
I know it like the back of me hand.
Been around the clubs for 14 years.
:23:42
Do you think I washed socks
when I was running laundry?
:23:45
- Look it's one thing...
- You want them thinking I'm brainless?
:23:49
You want they should think
I'm getting handouts from you?
:23:53
So busy making you something,
they think I'm nothing.
:23:56
You put it all in, Marty?
The dough from the laundry?
:23:59
You getting scared too?
:24:00
Here's what I'm gonna do.
First, I close down the place.
:24:04
Then I throw out everything.
Everything. Every stick.
:24:07
I'm starting from scratch.
:24:09
When I get through, its own mother
won't know this joint.
:24:13
And it's gonna look rich,
like it costs. Only in good taste.
:24:16
Like you're always screaming.
Nothing loud.
:24:19
And the entertainment?
Only headliners. Personalities.
:24:23
Am I bending your ear too much, Ruthie?
If I am, I'll shut up.
:24:28
But I'm all steamed up
about this thing, you know?
:24:36
- What did you do that for?
- I'm sorry.
:24:40
I'm just so nervous.
:24:43
You know, the rehearsals and everything
starting tomorrow.
:24:46
Yeah.
:24:48
Yeah, that's what it is. Sure.
You're bound to be.
:24:52
I need a good night's rest.
:24:58
Yeah, you're right.
