look, all right, some rapes happen in the subway -
I
mean people
like me go to work every day, we're respectable, we take the
subway to work and sometimes there's a rape in the subway. Now,
that can't
be
helped.
I
mean
if
I
get raped late at night in the
subway, or if it's early in the morning and
I
get raped in the
subway, well, now, that can't be helped, can it? But a young
girl
like you - you're supposed to be smart, right? You're supposed
to be studying journalism, right? So what are you going around
with a bum like this for??
The
FILMMAKER
pulls her back up on stage.
They ask for it, Harvey,
I
tell you they just ask for it! !
Jo: Will someone turn on the malted milk machine?
JOE: What the hell is she talking about? Harvey, she must have wan-
dered onto the wrong set.
MIKIE: Hey, lady, go where you belong!
JOE: The other side of the street, Madame!
Jo: She's just a raving maniac.
I
never listen to other women,
anyhow.
FILMMAKER:
I
wonder why.
Jo: You would.
JOE: She must be
in
that other movie, you know, playing opposite
whachamacallit who's in love with that Negress - whasername -
Dietrich? - with the greygreen eyes. Yeah, Harvey, he flops in
.love with Negr--
MIKIE: Joe, Jo and
I
were planning to go to the beach tonight.
JOE
(singing, dancing):
Under the boardwalk
We'll be having some fun,
Under the boardwalk,
In the noonday sun–
Under the boardwalk,
Under the boardwalk
-
Woooo!
MIKIE: You want to go to the beach with us?
JOE: Well, what are the sexual aspects?
MIKIE:
I
beg your pardon,
I
hardly know you!
JOE:
I
mean what are the sexual prospects?
Jo
(vamping
JOE): Good friends should lie together.
JOE: Stop stealing my lines, Mary, get your own writer.
Jo
(very sexy):
Hey, Joe, wanna spend ten bucks?
