Beggars of Life

1   
"Mister, what's the chance 
of gettin' some breakfast?"

2
"I'm willin' to work
       for it."

3
"Yeah - I did it."

4
"He's no relation of mine......
He adopted me out o' the
Orphans' Home two years 
         ago."

5
"He's always been after me -
pawin' me with his hands -"

6
"- and this morning -"

7
"You ain't figurin' on 
stayin' here till they 
      find him?"

8
"Ever hop a freight train?"

9
"I can put you on one that's 
bound East - I'm goin' the 
    other way myself."

10
"I don't know why I'm doin' 
         this...."

11
"You know you're nothin'
to me.... There's no reason
why I should stick with 
          you."

12
"This freight'll get you in
St. Paul by tonight - if
      you're lucky."

13
"Get a move on, kid, or she'll
 be goin' too fast for you!"

14
"I thought you said you'd
 hopped freight trains
        before?"

15
"Well, so long, kid! Here
     comes my train."

16
"I hope you get away 
     all right."

17
"Well, you gotta eat. I
don't want you sick on
      my hands."

18
"Me and my kid brother are
tryin' to get home to our 
      sick mother."

19
"There's where we 
 flop tonight."

20
"Warmer now?"

21
"Thanks."

22
"Hungry?"

23
"Not very."

24
"Any place in particular 
you're headin' for ..... I
mean after we separate?"

25
"No - I ain't got any 
    place to go."

26
"I'm headin' for Canada
myself. I got an uncle in 
        Alberta."

27
"There's homestead land up 
there. He said he'd help me
   if I'd settle down."

28
"You might as well come 
with me. The police'd be
less likely to look for you 
        in Canada."

29
"I don't want to be no 
   trouble to you."

30
"That's all right."

31
"Ain't it funny when you
think of the millions o'
people in warm houses
and feather beds, an' us
just driftin' 'round like
      the clouds?"

32
"But I guess it's about even
when you boil it down. Even 
them people in feather beds
ain't satisfied - we're all
     beggars of life."

33
"Some begs for one thing
and some for another - -
and me, I ain't found out
    yet what I want."

34
"I know what I want -
just a place to be quiet 
          in -"

35
"- a place to keep clean in -"

36
"- a place to call home."

37
"I never had it ... maybe I
never will .... I guess
that's why I want it so."

38
"Good night."

39
"I wish my limousine would 
hurry up. I've walked far 
        enough."

40
"Well, you've got your 
limousine. Do you crave
   anything else?"

41
"Yeah - I crave a little 
       breakfast."

42
"I don't like onions - they
   make my breath smell."

43
"It's a jungle - a meeting
    place for hoboes."

44
"Lay still, white boy.
You gwine to be O.K."

45
"Keep your hat down over 
your eyes and let me do 
     the talkin'."

46
"What's the chance of cuttin' 
      in on the grub?"

47
"In the back room of a
    bum saloon,
That's where she sits 
    all day -
Hark those bells!"

48
"Hark those bells!
 That's where she sits 
  all day -
I wonder where she sits
  at night?"

49
"Well, I never seen such a
lousy flock o' jungle-
      buzzards!"

50
"Who are you?"

51
"Who wants to know?"

52
"Easy, Bo - you're talkin' to
   the Arkansaw Snake!"

53
"He looks more like a toad 
to me - an' you're talkin'
    to Oklahoma Red!"

54
"I ain't 'specially wantin' to
 kill anybody right now. If
  the Snake wants to set 
       down, I will."

55
"I took a keg o' White Mule
from a still about two miles
  back. Come an' get it!"

56
"My brother don't want 
  none - he's sick."

57
"Hello, Girlie!"

58
"I guess I know a girl 
   when I see one."

59
"Come on, Baby!"

60
"Hey - wait! Do you know 
      who she is?"

61
"Beat it! We don't want 
to get mixed up in no 
      murders!"

62
"Aw, give the kids a 
       break."

63
"There's only one train 
through here tonight. If
  they don't hop that, 
   they'll be caught."

64
"We're all ridin' on that train,
an' if she comes with us,
every dick in the country'll
      be on our tail."

65
"She rides with us."

66
"Oh, no, she don't!"

67
"I said she rides with us!"

68
"We're looking for a girl in 
  boy's clothes, traveling 
 with a dark-haired tramp."

69
"Here she is, chief!"

70
"It's rainin' hoboes, that's
     what's happenin'!"

71
"Come on, baby - don't 
  be so exclusive."

72
"Why do you think I let her 
   ride with us? My name 
    ain't Santa Claus!"

73
"When I'm with a gang,
    it's my gang -"

74
"- and if there's a gal in
 the gang, she's my gal."

75
"Gents, we're goin' to have
  a kangaroo court and try
this little sheik for bein' too
       good to live."

76
"I'm the judge! Disorder
     in the court!"

77
"What do you know
  about courts?"

78
"Nothin'!"

79
"All right. You're the
persecutin' attorney."

80
"Hoppy, you're counsel 
     for defense."

81
"Gee, Red, I can't defend 
         a bum."

82
"Oyez, oyez! The court is
hereby declared setting."

83
"Be it known by those 
present that this here 
court will dispense with
       justice."

84
"May it displease Your 
        Honor -"

85
"Wait a minute! Before we
go any further, the court
will sentence the prisoner."

86
"I object. That ain't a
   square deal for my 
         client."

87
"Look here, Defense, you're 
tryin' to influence the court."

88
"You try that again and
you'll be disbarred and
     dismembered!"

89
"Furthermore, quit scratchin'
yourself in front o' the court."

90
"It's a lousy court,
       anyway."

91
"Bailiff, this mangy attorney
is scratchin' hisself - - an'
it's rank disrespect of our
judicial derogatives. Take
         him away!"

92
"The court will now 
  pass sentence."

93
"The sheik loses his sweetie
to the custody of the court,
  an' gets pushed off the 
          train."

94
"Listen! I ain't askin' any
pity for myself. You can
  throw me off if you
        wanta -"

95
"- but she's only a kid an'
  she's never had a fair 
          break!"

96
"If you've ever done a decent 
thing, don't do this to her!
        Let her go!"

97
"Wait a minute!"

98
"Forget about him. You're
  the ward o' the court 
          now -"

99
"- and oh, what a guardian
 the court's goin' to be!"

100
"I claim the right to pick my 
       own guardian!"

101
"It's gonna be the Snake.
 He's a better man than 
          you."

102
"The Snake as good as spit 
in your eye back there in 
        the jungle."

103
"He'd have killed you if
you hadn't talked your-
    self out of it."

104
"Get up, Snake! The lady
     wants a fight."

105
"Order in the courtroom!"

106
"Get back! All of you!
 Back in that corner!"

107
"You haven't got the 
   guts to shoot!"

108
"A bunch of dicks is
searchin' the train!"

109
"She's goin' forty miles an
hour. We're dead hoboes
     if we jump!"

110
"We better make ourselves 
scarce. They'll be comin'
back for these cars before
          long."

111
"We can't travel very far 
with these cripples. There's 
  a shack we can hide in 
   down in the canyon."

112
"I reckon I'd bettah go out
  and forage some food for
           him."

113
"Would they really hang 
 me if they caught me?"

114
"Yeah - an' me, too."

115
"Hey, black man, where's 
your hand? I'm afraid!"

116
"- broke two rear cars and
caboose from No. 81 on
upgrade near Eagle Quarry.
Girl and accomplice believed
aboard. Patrol highways, 
search all trains, send men 
   to beat district -"

117
"So you're still here, my
little babes in the woods!"

118
"I brought a little present 
       for our baby."

119
"I went over half a dozen
clothes-lines before I
grabbed somethin' that 
    might fit her."

120
"Every dick in the world is
out there, lookin' for her
    in men's clothes."

121
"Come on out while the lady
dresses. I got somethin' to 
    say to you, anyhow."

122
"The dicks have got you 
marked with that girl. If
you're a smart kid, you'll
 beat it away from her."

123
"Now wait a minute. I got
  a few words to say to 
        the lady."

124
"Listen, dearie, I got a Ford 
outside that'll take us right 
through the cops to Spargo,
  where we can catch the 
    Canadian Limited."

125
"They'll never look for you 
in a machine - 'specially
  with them clothes on."

126
"Come on! It's your only 
chance. If you stay here,
 they'll get you sure!"

127
"I won't go without
        Jim!"

128
"If you care anything about 
him, you'll leave him here.
 You don't want him hung, 
          do you?"

129
"I guess maybe he's right,
          Jim."

130
"Before I let you go with 
him, I'll fill him full o' 
          holes!"

131
"It's for you to say, Baby.
 Do you come with me or 
           not?"

132
"I'd of gone if Jim said so -"

133
"- but if he wants me to 
stick around, you know
  where you can go."

134
"If you shoot him, you'll have 
     to shoot me, too."

135
"I'd rather be hung 
 than go with you!"

136
"I've heard about it - but
 I never seen it before."

137
"It must be love!"

138
 "I knew there was 
somethin' wrong with 
     you two -"

139
"Yes, sir, it's love - that's
         what it is!"

140
"Well, if you kids would rather
die together than separate, I
    wash my hands of you."

141
"I've just got time for a nap
before I climb in my Rolls-
  Royce an' go to meet my 
           train."

142
"It's been a tough night,
and the judge is tired."

143
"His fevah is all gone, he's
    cool as a cucumbah."

144
"They did it - I knew
     they would!"

145
"There's somethin' in the 
way them kids looked at
each other that gave me
        a jolt."

146
"A couple o' young idiots that
  want anything as much as 
they do ... well, maybe they
      oughta have it."

147
"Do you think they'll get 
   through all right?"

148
"Even if they do get through
   - that won't end it."

149
"When the charge is murder,
   the dicks never stop 
searchin' until you're dead."

150
"Until you're dead."

151
"The gal is goin' to have 
 a grand funeral for the 
  benefit o' the cops."

152
"How you gwine to get out?"

153
"Don't you worry about
me. My foot ain't never
     slipped yet."

154
"No, boss, I ain't seen no
  white gal in no boy's
     clothes, nohow!"

155
"I been fast asleep mindin'
     my own business!"

156
"There she is!"

157
"You know if it wasn't for
Oklahoma Red, we wouldn't 
be here now - on our way
       to Canada."

158
"After all, he wasn't such 
        a bad guy."

159
"Aw, that guy was no 
good. He'd cut your 
heart out for a nickel."

160
"My foot slipped that 
        time."
