Tamara can hear them in the basement but she can't see what they are doing.Tamara can hear them in the basement but she can't see what they are doing. She asks Linda lots of questions about it, though...later." "That's SICK, Marla!" "Uh, Huh....I agree....but that's the "price" Linda's going to pay for messing with you every time Johnny catches her at it and she hasn't told him about it." "Has she told him yet?" "Nope!" "Think she will?" "Nope!" "Think he'll find out?" "Yup! He suspects something NOW! But he's not sure. He brought those rowdy sons a bitches with him tonight to the Lounge to 'remind' her a bit. She's a wreck. Especially since she saw you in there when they came in. I agreed to get you out of there so she wouldn't be tempted to dance in any special way like she's been doing for you lately." "You know about THAT, Marla? How?" "I was in the Lounge one night when you two were 'going at it' hot and heavy and saw the, shall we say, 'attraction' between you. I can't say that I either approve or disapprove. Right now I'm a little jealous about it all." "I don't think I even have to comment on that 'jealous' thing, do I, Marla?" "Nope! But I'm going to fix that, TONIGHT, so we are sort of 'partners' instead of competitors, MASTER PAUL (with emphasis). That way, I can cover for her all the time because Johnny approves of ME and she can always say she's at my place. He knows she has to have what she has to have. He just wants only certain 'types' giving it to her. You don't qualify, Paul. Not in Johnny's book you don't!" "Why's that?" "You're male, pal. No male messes with her without permission.. ...except the Lounge Crowd.......and then only because Johnny has aspirations of becoming a mafioso type.....that and the fact that he's scared shitless of them. He'll let that 'ride'. But you? NO WAY, JOSE'!!! If he finds out, she'll spend the night in the basement getting screwed half to death while he watches. Over and over again. And she knows its coming if she gets 'caught' with you." "Well I'll be Goddamned! No wonder she's been so damn skittish and half in a panic. She NEVER told ME!!!" "No, and she probably still won't....that's why you and I are going for this ride.....so you know the 'score' and play it 'safe' for her sake." "'Safe' meaning I quit seeing her and 'playing with her', Marla?" "No way. |
