| Quotes |
'Feet' Samuels:
Am I, am I losing you? Hortense: Listen, Feet, you got nobody else to blame but yourself. 'Feet' Samuels: Well, what do you mean? Ain't you everything that I got in life? Hortense: Yes, what have you got in life? Nothing! 'Feet' Samuels: Give me another chance. Just one more chance. Hortense: From now on, things are gonna be different. When you get in a position to show me a material way that you love me and can bring up stockings and jewellery and stuff that other nice girls get, I might learn to like you again. Hortense: [she open the door] I'm sorry, you have to hurry. 'Feet' Samuels: [he gets up reluctantly] You're right, Hortense. But you know what I'm gonna do? I'm going home and hock some of my personal things and get a bankroll. I never fought before because I always thought I had you, so I had nothing left to fight for. But now, watch me rip up that old street. I'm gonna break this run of tough luck and when I do I'll shower you so much with presents, you''ll have to wear a steel helmet to keep from getting knocked cuckoo. Hortense: I hope you succeed, Feet. 'Feet' Samuels: I will. And if I do, and when I come to see you, can I, can I...? Hortense: Can you, what? 'Feet' Samuels: Can I still call your Mother, Toodles?
