The inventory won't pay for the flowers,
so the lease is worth about a quarter.

:08:04
Miss Martin, "Papa" owes me $20,000,
:08:08
and a lot more to some guys
who don't laugh so easy.

:08:11
- That much?
- That much.

:08:19
Well, I've got a few dollars in the bank.
:08:22
What I make at the cafeteria,
I could manage five dollars a week.

:08:27
- A cafeteria?
- I'm cashier there.

:08:30
The next one Howard... uh, Mr Porter
opens, I'm gonna be manager.

:08:34
Then I could give you a little more.
:08:37
- It's five whole dollars.
- The lucky apple is working already.

:08:41
- Very big.
- It's the best I can do.

:08:47
Goodbye, Mr Dude.
Thank you for being Papa's friend.

:08:51
Yeah. I mean...
:08:58
That's the first broad I ever seen
who wanted to do something for you.

:09:02
You know, maybe...
:09:08
- Miss?
- Hey, Dude! No! Come here!

:09:10
You know, at $5 a week it'll take you
200 years to pay off your father's debt.

:09:14
- I don't care if it takes a thousand years.
- Take it easy. I got an idea.

:09:19
For my boss it was the lucky
apple that brought Queenie into his life.

:09:23
Go figure - he's got a thing
about Annie's apples.

:09:29
So the Dude shoots the bankroll and
promotes Queenie into a nightclub star.

:09:42
Much to my surprise she ain't too bad.
:09:47
And you know what?
The club begins to make money.

:09:50
And Queenie begins to pay off
her papa's debts. Go figure that one.

:09:56
By the second year,
the club is a sensation.
