Pretty Baby

Damn it! Oh!

Ah!

Jes...!

I can't stand it, help me!

Help me!

God damn!

God...

damn!

It's wanting out, now darn it, push,

so we can see what's coming out on the couch.

Head's out almost.

God damn!

Oh, God! Oh...

Shh.

Come on.

Oh, baby, come on.

Oh!

Don't worry, baby, I'll get somebody.

Mama had the baby!

Come on, Josephine, he wants two of us.

I can't. I'm busy.

Get Agnes.

Mama had the baby! It's a boy!

A boy?

God damn.

I lost my bet.

Listen, I've already paid for two,

I'm ready now.

Sure you are, sweetie,

and we're going to get someone nice.

Violet!

'Cause we're going to have ourselves a time!

Go and fetch Agnes yonder, will you, baby?

Tell her to haul it up to the Blue Room.

We're going to have ourselves a time.

It's a boy.

It's a boy.

Well, Violet, old girl, is it all over upstairs?

Uh-huh.

A boy.

A boy?

Does it really hurt to have a baby?

Violet, you asking the wrongest person,

the very wrongest person in the world.

Come on and play that thing, Professor.

Well, I certainly will do that.

I'll play something for that pretty baby your mama just had.

Brung into the cruel, cruel world on a night like this,

against his will.

And today, I have attained

my 75th birthday, and I intend to celebrate!

I haven't had a woman

in longer than I care to say.

You know, she doesn't have to be beautiful,

just patient.

Well, how about Frieda?

How are you, Admiral?

Well, hello, Nell.

You've been to the North Sea.

I sure have, and now

I'm on an extended leave of absence.

- Well, I'm... - Going to be here a long time.

Ooh, you're my kind of man.

I like the way

you move.

All I want to hear from you

is that I'm handsome, virile, generous, and kind.

Waffle man, waffle man...

Put your money in your hand for the waffle man

For the waffle man

The waffle man is here, the waffle man is there

The waffle man is everywhere

Waffle man, waffle man...

What's the matter, Will?

Shh, come on, hush up.

You don't want to wake everybody up.

Shh! Be quiet now.

Violet!

What if you had woke him up?

He paid for all night, and you know what he's like.

Well, Will woke me up.

You're not supposed to wake me up.

I don't get to sleep late anymore.

Where'd you get those earrings?

They're awful pretty.

Never mind where I got 'em.

He gave 'em to me.

He won 'em in a card game or something.

Then I won them from him.

Don't!

Just pierced them for me last night,

that's how I won 'em.

It's a lucky thing I was drunk.

Will you give them to me when I grow up?

Are you out of your mind?

These are real emeralds.

Otherwise,

I never would have let him

punch those ugly holes in my ears.

Get my coffee. I feel awful.

Ooka, dooka, soda cracker,

does your father chew tobacco?

- Ooka... - Violet!

Give me my cane.

Oh, my absinthe.

Where the hell

is that black bitch with my coffee?!

Yes, you handle that with care, Joe.

And you ought to leave off suckling that boy.

You're going to turn him spoiled,

just like you did with Violet.

Oh, I think she likes it,

having big tits.

Hey, 'Tonia, Violet, get off that pony.

I got something to tell you.

I went to see Mama Mosebery last night.

I paid her two dollars, and she gave me some

uncooked turtle heart to bring me luck

for the lottery, and I swallowed it whole!

Where you going?

I ain't here, you know, to entertain you.

I gots deliveries upstairs.

Well, how'd it taste like?

What taste like?

Raw turtle's heart!

What do you think it tasted like?

Aw, come on, please, tell me!

Well, I am the child of a snapping turtle.

Raised by alligators on panther's milk.

I'm a poisoned wolf from Bitter Creek,

and tonight's my night to howl!

Peddlers use the back door.

...four, five, six...

A peddler.

Violet, go sit down and finish your okra.

I'm not raising you so's your teeth will rot, you know.

What is this sheet doing here?

It doesn't belong to the house.

Six, seven, eight, nine...

Look what's coming.

...eleven.

Aw, hush up now, come on, baby,

shh, shh, shh.

Hi, I'm Bellocq.

I'm looking for Madame Livingston.

Is she receiving callers?

Harry, get down here.

You may come in, Monsieur Bellocq.

Well, come in then.

Good God, you're in the wrong place, Monsieur.

We're not in the business of buying.

Madame, um, perhaps you know my name.

I have... photographed in the district many times.

Am I addressing Madame Livingston?

Yes, you are,

Monsieur.

And you are too early.

My girls are all asleep.

They work late, you know.

It's 10:00 in the morning, Monsieur.

I require the light from the sun.

Now is the best time for me.

This young lady there,

she would be fine.

I run a good, old-fashioned whorehouse, Monsieur.

And you seem a little rabbity to me.

Photographs?

What the hell kind of thing is that?

I don't cater to the inverts.

If you're looking for something different,

I can assure you, you can find it

right down here in New Orleans.

Madame, please, don't tell me

about New Orleans, I've lived here all my life.

I apologize, Monsieur.

You realize I'm willing to pay for her time.

Violet, child, go get me that package that Red brought.

Would you care for an absinthe?

Madame, the light.

I beg your pardon.

Oh, the light.

I had quite forgotten.

Well, go and take our Hattie.

She's very good, you know.

She will do whatever you want.

Thank you, ma'am.

And go take care of that child for her.

Want me to take my clothes off now?

No, no, I'm liking you just as you are.

You want me like this?

Uncombed, I'm not even washed.

Yes, yes.

I don't like that face.

It ain't a pleasant face.

Now this is a pleasant face.

Quiet!

I must have quiet now.

Go away, Violet.

No, it's only she musn't talk to you.

She's very beautiful.
