DUGAN: Say, Goldie, we've been almost more than friends in the last two years.
GOLDIE: You mean almost friends. (Rising.) Never more. Dugan, you know why I've been your go-between in the System. Because you promised to let up on the Eel.
DUGAN: I'll never let up on him. He's a crook.
GOLDIE: Well, what are you? (Turns L. away from DUGAN.)
DUGAN: Don't get sore, Goldie. You know I want you for myself.
(Puts his arms around GOLDIE'S waist.)
GOLDIE: Well, you're wasting time. (Pulls savagely away from him and crosses R.)
DUGAN: (Following GOLDIE R.) Am I? I'll get you, or I'll send you both up for years.
GOLDIE: (Savagely into DUGAN's face.) Is that why you had me steal that necklace?
DUGAN: Yes, if you want to know it, I've been trying for two years to get something on you, and now I've got you.
GOLDIE: Well, suppose I squeal.
