The Godless Girl
1
It is not generally known
that there are Atheist
Societies using the schools
of the country as their
battle-ground - attacking,
through the Youth of the
Nation, the beliefs that
are sacred to most of the
people.
[dissolve to:]
2
And no fanatics are so
bitter as youthful
fanatics.
3
"Call a meeting of
the Godless Society
tonight - same hour -
same place!"
4
"This blasphemy is
spreading through the
school like a plague!
It must be stopped!"
5
"I will address the
Students at once!"
6
Judy, daughter of
Atheism ... Bob, son
of Gospel ... Intolerance
versus Intolerance.
7
"All those who have
copies of these
blasphemous pamphlets,
will bring them to me
at once!"
8
"Are there any more?"
9
"Under the State Law,
the student responsible
for this outrage is
liable to imprisonment!"
10
"As President of the
student-body, I suggest
you let us handle this
our own way - and I
guarantee it will be
wiped out!"
11
"You may handle it
your own way -
but remember, no
violence!"
12
A shabby hall, on a
squalid street ...
where little rebels
blow spit-balls at the
Rock of Ages.
13
"This is the Scientific
Age - we don't need
a God!"
14
"Come and get a
pamphlet from 'Koko'!
Don't high-hat him -
he's your cousin!"
15
"Easy, fellers - those
Godless babies are
upstairs!"
16
"Handle these eggs
gently - you may
be old yourself some
day!"
17
"Our new member,
Mr. Bozo Johnson,
will now take the
oath!"
18
"Bozo, swear that you
don't believe in the
Bible - the Church -
or God!"
19
"Does that cut out my
Christmas holidays?"
20
"Well, if it isn't
Angel!"
21
"You and your goofy
gang beat it! We're
going to wipe this
place clean!"
22
"You've got just one
minute to get out!"
23
"In just one minute
I'm going to clunk
you on the button!"
24
"If it's a fight you
want - start it!"
25
"I'll teach you to tell
my kid sister there
isn't any God!"
26
"Well, Bible-Pounder, we're
still with you!"
27
"I can get you out of
this, Judy! All you got
to do is go religious!"
28
"POLICE, quick!
Riot-call!"
29
"You're going to need
that rotten banner for
bandages!"
30
"It's breaking - the rail's
breaking!"
31
"Beat it - the cops!"
32
"That kid's dyin' - I'll
get an ambulance!"
33
"Judy - tell me you're
wrong - I don't want
this to be the end!
Tell me - there's
something more!"
34
"Judy, this can't be the
end! I'm scared - I'm
scared to be all alone!"
35
"You ain't got no call
to be scared, baby -
where you're goin'! He's
waitin' there to take
you in His arms!"
36
"Judy - he's right! There
is something more - I see
it - I see ..."
37
"He pushed her over -
I saw him!"
38
"You did this - you and
your holy thugs - you
killed her!"
39
"I'd advise you to shut
up - as you'll both be
held with manslaughter!"
40
The REFORMATORY..Bricks...
Barbed-Wire...Iron...
And rebellious Youth.
41
"Say, what's the
big idea - I'm
not a criminal!"
42
"No - but it won't
be long now!"
43
"Just shape it a little
at the nape of the
neck - don't touch
the front!"
44
"Save the gas, Sister -
you got a big hill to
climb!"
45
"New girls get their hair
cut short - and every
word you speak will
add one day to your
sentence!"
46
"Pipe down, Bimbo,
you're just one of
God's step-children
in this joint!"
47
"Just a chip off the
old block!"
48
"What does one do
with these?"
49
"One parks the carcass
in 'em, dearie! You
ain't dressin' for tired
business men!"
50
"Gimme them papers -
the child is in London!"
51
"If you try a getaway -
those cuts will leave
tracks a blind man could
see!"
52
"Them stripes are a
target - so they
can pot you if
you escape!"
53
"Keep your pants on!"
54
"But they're all just
alike!"
55
"I worked three years
to get that!"
56
"3107!"
57
The muscles of an Ox...
the brains of a Sheep...
the mercy of a Hyena...
the Head Guard.
58
Day in, day out...Week
in, week out...GONGS
to eat and gongs to
drink...gongs to sleep
and gongs to wake...
59
GONGS...crashing into
her dreams of the
Boy on the other side
of the Iron Fence.
60
"That sour Matron ought to
gargle this line about
lovin' one another!"
61
"Let's cut the Bible
stuff, Mame - it's just
popular fiction!"
62
"You ain't so good, that
readin' this won't make
you better!"
63
"Bend for it, baby -
or they'll pick you
up in a dustpan!"
64
"I dropped it, Ma'am..
accidental!"
65
"No salvation-hunter
can take my blame!
I threw it there -
on purpose!"
66
"So, you lied to protect
another girl!"
67
"Now, both of you
report to the
Garbage Detail!"
68
"You almost make me
believe this stuff
works - when I see
how white you are!"
69
"Wash - faces!"
70
"Wash - ears!"
71
"Who - did - that?"
72
"So you want to play
with water! All right -
I'll play with you!"
73
"Did I hear you
say stop?"
74
"What you heard,
is where you can
go to!"
75
"Get out of here now -
and report to the
Garbage Detail!"
76
GARBAGE
77
"What a laugh! Your Belief
and my Blasphemy, both
ending in garbage!"
78
"Cover up, dearie -
I've seen better heads
on cabbages!"
79
"You got a snooty habit
of steppin' on things
over your head!"
80
"I'm the Mama that put
the it in mitt!"
81
"Take that mitt home,
Blondy - and keep
it for a pet!"
82
"Nix - it might have
mittens!"
83
"Don't be sore, Judy -
I tried to railroad you
to heaven, but I landed
you in hell!"
84
"I'm not sore! That kid's
been dying in my arms
every night - I'm begin-
ning to understand a lot
of things!"
85
"From now on, Sheik, you
can do your love-makin'
on bread and water -
in Solitary!"
86
"I'll get you out of
this hell-hole, Judy -
I'll get you out!"
87
"Say - prayers!"
88
"We ain't prayin' to
God - we're prayin'
to a gong!"
89
"Goodnight, Mame. The
more I see of you -
the less I like myself!"
90
Solitary - a black hole
lined with stone and
steel - to shut in Hate,
and shut out Mercy.
91
"What have they done
to Judy?"
92
"They've put her to work
in the Girls' Meat House!"
93
"I'll learn you that bread
and water - means bread
and water!"
94
"Let him go, you
big bum! He's only
a kid!"
95
"I'll - be - back!"
96
"I'm back - and I'm comin'
in for you!"
97
"Take this load of
provisions to the
Girls' Meat House.
Here's your pass!"
98
The incidents of this story
are true. These conditions
actually exist in certain
reformatories. There are many
others, however, that are
humane and progressive -
thanks to those who are
striving to help our
Delinquent Youth to become
good men and women.
99
"I'm just puttin' on
a little dog!"
100
"We're going to escape!"
101
"Are we? Ain't that
grand!"
102
"Get Judy..and keep
the Matron busy while
we duck!"
103
"Judy?...Oh, you mean
Judy!"
104
"Snap out of it, Romeo -
I'm waitin' for a hog!"
105
"You'll crab the act!
Wait till I do my
stuff - then blow!"
106
"Gimme that crate of
hen-fruit - and watch
me lay an omelette!"
107
"So long, babies - don't
look backward!"
108
"You'll pay for this!"
109
"The dirty skunk
crashed out! He's
dog-bait now! Let's
go!"
110
"He breezed - in the
boloney bus!"
111
"They're after us!"
112
"Grab some grub
and step!"
113
"Let's take to the
water - and lose
the dogs!"
114
Night...a deserted Farm...
and Sanctuary.
115
"I've tried - so hard -
to hate you!"
116
"And I've tried - so
hard - not to love
you!"
117
"We'll follow along the
bank, and pick up the
trail where they come
out!"
118
New day...new hope...
119
"When you look at all
this - it's easy to
believe Someone is
running things!"
120
"I'll show you what
that joint has made
me believe in!"
121
"Your figures add up
wrong, Bob - let's
try mine!"
122
"Here's where they left
the river - it won't be
long now!"
123
"I love you, Judy!
Let's live today...it's
all we're sure of!"
124
"I'm sure of a Tomorrow,
Bob, and it depends on
Today! Don't let's spoil
it...I love you!"
125
"Where's the girl?"
126
"Flop him up against
the wall - and I'll
give him what's comin'
to him!"
127
"They can't hurt us now,
Bob! We've found what
they can never take
away!"
128
"When you get out of
that bracelet - you'll
be thin enough to dive
through it!"
129
"That black cat ain't
goin' to hoodoo me!"
130
Red Judgment
131
"Let 'er sizzle, Sisters!
It's a red-hot chance
for a getaway!"
132
"Block that door so's
to give the fire a
chance! Turn off the
water - and beat it
down the back way!"
133
"Judy!"
134
"Whoopee! Get out your
asbestos union-suits!"
135
"I thought I was the whole
thing - but now I'm up
against it - and I need
You!"
136
"Fire on the girls'
side!"
137
"Keep the gates locked -
and the boys on their
own side!"
138
"Judy! Judy! They've
forgotten you!"
139
"So long, Mame! Beat it,
and save yourself!"
140
"Hang on, kid! I'll be
back with those keys -
or melt comin'!"
141
"Do you see Judy
anywhere?"
142
"Quick - another hose -
down by the cells!"
143
"Gimme your keys -
Judy's in Solitary!"
144
"Mame's got the keys!
Let's grab 'em and
crash out!"
145
"Stick the blonde Sardine
behind the gate!"
146
"Judy's sunk if you
don't get to her!
Climb the wall -
then down to the
cells!"
147
"Keep hold of me -
don't let me be afraid!"
148
"Oh, Lord - we're
dependin' on You!"
149
"Come back - don't
leave me!"
150
"We've got to get
Judy - she's in
Solitary!"
151
"You dirty rat - she'll
burn alive!"
152
"God - don't let him
go through that gate!
Don't let him leave
Judy!"
153
"It's got me - it's
got me!"
154
"Don't touch him, Bob -
it'll kill you!"
155
"The switch - quick!
I'm dying!"
156
"Save me, kids - don't
let me burn!"
157
"Don't judge him, Bob -
save him!"
158
"Come on, we'll get 'em -
or roast!"
159
"The Inspector's here -
get him - I'm done for!"
160
"This bunch risked their
lives to get me out -
I recommend - release!"
161
"Come with us, Mame -
let's go on together!"
162
"Nothin' doin' - three
ain't a couple - it's
a calamity!"
163
"Don't be so bitter, Bob!
after all, it did teach us
to believe - and let
believe!"
