[Moves closer to Mary. She is still sitting on the trunk. All of the flippancy has left him. He is suddenly shy and very earnest]. Yeh.... You know, if I make one-half the hit tonight that Lee expects me to make—if I go over half as big as everybody thinks I will—do you know what I’d like to do? I’d like to come over close to you, like this, and tell you ... that I love you.
[Jimmy enters.]
Jimmy
Mr. Robin.
Jack
That guy picks the darndest time to come in!
Jimmy
There’s a man out there asking for a Jakie Robin. His name is—[Reads from card.]—Yudelson, Dealer in Diamonds and Jewelry. Do you know who it is?
Jack
Yudelson? It can’t be. [Yudelson enters.] Well, well, well, Yudelson! What are you doing here?... He’s all right, Jimmy.
