What Shocked the Censors W "It isn't luck. It's hard work. You can make a bargain with life, but once you've made it, stick to it." "Yeah? You must have grabbed that from a book. You don't have to give me any lectures on life's bargains." "I didn't bring you here to lecture. Take off the jacket." "Gee, that's worth a lot of money, if it's real. A tenth of that would pay my passage back to America." "What do you want to do over there?" "Quit this racket. Make a decent living. It ought to be easy to find a fob in the States." "Why don't you go? It only costs a few pounds." "Sorry, old deah, my stocks just went down — depression, you know. Unless big-hearted pearl trader wants to help li'l Norma in distress." "Eh?" "fust a loan. I'll be on the square." "Why do you pick me?" "A good word carries you a long way but a little cash buys a ticket. And once over there I'll work, drudge, slave to pay you back. It'll all be so different— and maybe some day — " "Maybe some day, what?" "Some day I might meet a man who'll understand — who'll let me forget — and marry me in spite of all this. And I'll make him a good wife — / will." "So you're already thinking of marriage and want me to pay your fare. You've got a lot of nerve. Put your things on the bench and not on the table."
