If you wanna come bowlin’ later we’re goin’ Flatbush Avenue.
Hey, Eddie - what a picture we saw! Did we laught!
Where’d you go?
Paramount. It was with those two guys, y’know? That. . .
Brooklyn Paramount?
Sure, the Brooklyn Paramount - I told you we wasn’t goin’ to New York.
Eddie, we only walk together in the streets. She teaches me.
You know what he can’t get over? That there’s no fountains in Brooklyn!
Fountains?
In Italy, he says, every town’s got fountains, and they meet there. And you know what? They got oranges on the trees where he comes from, and lemons. Imagine? on the trees? I mean it’s interesting. But he’s crazy for New York.
. . . Maybe you can come too. I want to see all those lights.
Why don’t you talk to him, Eddie? He blesses you, and you don’t talk to him hardly.
I bless you and you don’t talk to me.
I don’t talk to you? What do you mean!
I don’t see you no more. I come home you’re runnin’ around some place. . .
Well, he want to see everything, that’s all, so we go. . . you mad at me?
No. It’s just I used to come home, you was always there. Now, I turn around, you’re a big girl. I don’t know how to talk to you.
Why?
I don’t know, you’re runnin’, you’re runnin’, Katie. I don’t think you listening any more to me.
Ah, Eddie, sure I am. What’s the matter? You don’t like him?
You like him, Katie.
Yeah. I like him.
You like him.
Yeah. What’re you got against him? I don’t understand. He only blesses you.
He don’t bless me, Katie.
He does! You’re like a father to him!
Katie.
What, Eddie?
You gonna marry him?
. . . I don’t know. We just been. . . goin’ around, that’s all. What’re you got against him, Eddie? Please, tell me. What?
He don’t respect you?
Why?
Katie. . . if you wasn’t an orphan, wouldn’t he ask your father’s permission before he run around with you like this?
Oh, well, he didn’t think you’d mind.
He knows I mind, but it don’t bother him if I mind, don’t you see that?
No, Eddie, he’s got all kinds of respect for me. And you too! We walk across the street he takes my arm – he almost bows to me! You got him all wrong, Eddie; I mean it, you. . .
