EEL: Will you marry me?
GOLDIE: If you want me to.
EEL: You know I do. (Looks around suspiciously.) Say, if I beat this rap (DUGAN comes, on door R., and stands at upper end of desk), let's get spliced and go out West, turn over a new leaf, and begin life all over again, far away from the subway world where the sun of happiness is always clouded and the ace of joy is coppered. What do you say?
GOLDIE: Gee! them's the kindest words you've ever said to me. (Then lightly.) And I'll march down the aisle with you, with my hair in a braid.
EEL: Great!! Gee, I wonder if we could make our get-away now. (Both start for door C., but DUGAN, who has come down behind them, stops them.)
DUGAN: How do you do! Would you like to take a little trip out in the air with me?
GOLDIE: Say, I'd rather be home with the headache, than at the
Movies with a guy like you. (Crosses L.) (INSPECTOR enters door
R. going behind desk.)
INSPECTOR: Well, have you got anything to say to me before I lock you up for the night?
EEL: Nothin', except that it's a frame-up, and we defy you to go through with it.
INSPECTOR: Take 'em down.
