Lou

I got gas, Bennie.

Bennie

Yeah...tell me about it.

Lou

No kiddin', Bennie. I got gas.

Bennie

Ya get the special?

Lou

Fah from it... [wistles as Amy enters the diner] ...Enter the dame.

Bennie

There's one in every story.

Lou

Ten bucks says she's looking for a handout.

Bennie

Twenty bucks says not here she don't find one.

Lou

She's looking for her mark.

Lou

[Amy sits next to Norville]

She finds him.

Bennie

She sits down and orders a light lunch. [Amy orders lunch from the waitress] How will she pay for this lunch?

Lou

She looks in her purse...

Bennie

[Amy holds her wallet upside down]

No money.

Lou

The mark notices.

Bennie

He's not noticing, Bennie.

Lou

Maybe he's wise.

Bennie

He don't look wise. Plan two: Here come the waterworks.
[Amy begins to cry] Lou Yellowstone.

Bennie

Old Faithful.

Lou

Hello, Niagara.

Bennie

[Amy elbow Norville]

He notices. He's concerned.

Lou

She explains her predicament, and...

Both

...Enter the light lunch.

Bennie

[The waitress serves Amy's lunch as Amy continues to talk to Norville]

She's got other problems, of course.

Lou

There's illness in the family.

Bennie

Her mother needs an operation...

Lou

Adenoids.

Bennie

[with Amy]

Lumbago. Oh, that gag's got whiskers on it.

Lou

She's losing him, Bennie.

Bennie

Maybe he's wise.

Lou

He don't look wise.

Bennie

[Norville turns to leave]

How does she pull this out?

Lou

She better think fast.

Bennie

She isn't.

Both

[Amy places her hand on her forehead]

She is!

Lou

[Amy faints so that Norville has no choice but to catch her and holds her awkwardly, looking around for help]

She's good, Bennie.

Bennie

She's damn good, Lou.

Waitress

[interrupts]

Can I get you boys anything else?

Bennie
