:36:01
If he spent as much time
running his numbers...

:36:03
as he does them damn gardenias,
he could have one hell of a business.

:36:08
Think you're pretty smart, don't you?
Well, what do you know?

:36:11
You got a great thing going in here.
:36:13
Leave that nigger alone.
He is dangerous. You understand?

:36:16
He pulls that bit on everybody,
got a room full of girls at home.

:36:19
You just gonna be another one. You
wanna be that? You got too much going.

:36:23
This is one face
that won't get that hungry.

:36:25
I don't stand in no line for nobody.
:36:27
All right.
:36:28
Not even Mr. Louis McKay.
:36:34
Jerry?
:36:37
- Tell him the answer is no.
- No?

:36:40
No.
:36:44
That'll show him, 'cause he usually gets
everyone he wants.

:36:49
He can get this one, too,
but not on the first night.

:36:55
Good night, lady.
:36:57
- Good night, Billie.
- Good night, Jerry.

:37:02
What's the matter?
You don't like gardenias?

:37:06
They're okay.
:37:08
So?
:37:10
So you don't put them on
just to go to someone's apartment...

:37:13
for a late-night supper.
:37:18
- So that's how it is?
- That's how it is.

:37:20
Pardon me, lady, I must have
got you mixed up with someone...

:37:23
who used to reside at Missus...
What's her name?

:37:28
If that's what you thought, nigger,
why'd you give me them damn flowers?

:37:31
Why didn't you
just give me some money?

:37:38
I did.
:37:44
Hey, Billie. Listen, listen, all right?
:37:48
You don't mind
if I call you Billie, do you?

:37:50
- Don't call me nothing.
- No, listen.

:37:51
Listen, I know a place downtown.
It's open all night.

:37:54
A fantastic place. You can eat.
You can have food. You can dance.

:37:57
You can do anything you want.
Now, come on.

:37:59
Just like the late-night-supper stuff?
