Yes, I wasn't always rich.

No?

Lady Lou

No, there was a time I didn't know where my next husband was coming from.

I swear I shall make you happy. I shall die to make you happy.

Lady Lou

Mmm, but you wouldn't be much use to me dead.

Lady Lou

Come up again - any time.

I shall, then I hope you will be alone.

Lady Lou

So do I, warm, dark and handsome.

Who wants him to fall? Why he'd be the kind the woman'd have to marry to get rid of.

Russian Rita

My pin! What do you mean by taking my pin?

Lady Lou

I didn't take your pin, he gave it to me.

Russian Rita

Well, I want it back right now!

Lady Lou

You try and get it. I wouldn't give you this here thing now for spite. If you asked me for it the right way you coulda had it. I got all the rocks I want, but I'll keep this here thing now to remember you by.

What I means is, you ain't never been in the circumstances where the wolf came to your door.

The wolf at my door? Why, I remember when he came right into my room and had pups.

Lady Lou

What was he? Married?

Yes, but I didn't know.

Lady Lou

Makes no difference to me whether you did or not. Men's all alike, married or single. It's their game. I happen to be smart enough to play it their way. You'll come to it.

He ain't like the other men you done made history of.

Lady Lou

No, that's what makes him kinda interestin'. Wouldn't hurt me any to have a new kind of man added to my record, would it?

Goodness me, Miss Lou.
