[Frank is visiting Sammy Davis Jr. in hospital, who has lost an eye in a car accident]
I talked to your old man and to the doc, they're gonna get you outta here pretty soon. Get you a private nurse. Whatever you need.
SD Sammy Davis Jr.
[wearing a cover over his eyes]
I appreciate it, man, but you can't help me outta this one.
Ah, quit whining. You're gonna be great. [passes Sammy his cigarette] Here take a drag. [Sammy takes a drag]
SD Sammy Davis Jr.
What am I gonna do now? I can't dance with one eye.
What do you mean you can't dance with one eye? You can't dance with one foot.
SD Sammy Davis Jr.
You know the audience will be whispering "Look there's the cat with the glass eye."
Nah, they won't. They'll be saying "There goes the funny looking coloured midget with a glass eye." [they both laugh]
SD Sammy Davis Jr.
[short pause]
You know, butter, if I can't dance. I don't wanna live.
Yeah, well, we all hit bottom sometimes, smoky. It passes. [short pause] Hey, look at that.
SD Sammy Davis Jr.
What, Frank?!
[jokingly]
It's a naked nurse.
[Sammy laughs. Frank smiles]
I got plans for us, kid.
SD Sammy Davis Jr.
[at the Sands Hotel and Casino] [on his eye patch]
Oh man, I can't even walk straight with this thing.
C'mon, you couldn't walk straight before.
SD Sammy Davis Jr.
You know, two years ago they wouldn't even let me in this joint. And now because of you, I'm in the steam room.
Maybe another twenty if it lets you in the pool. [they laugh]
SD Sammy Davis Jr.
Uh, listen, butter, you think you might be available sometime around Christmas? I'm uh, thinking of postponing this marriage thing.
[short pause]
They got to you.
SD Sammy Davis Jr.
No, no, no, no, nothing like that. It's just that uh, all the good rabbi's are gonna be in convention in Miami in June.
What does May think about it?
SD Sammy Davis Jr.
[short pause]
Haven't told her yet. She ain't gonna love it.
[pause]
She's gonna love you, baby. She'd be crazy not to.
[they embrace]
