Cafe Manhattan Party/Persuasion

Harry, can you meet me outside?

Mm-mm, no

What you mean, Har, "no"? Come on

You ain't gonna get anything from me, I mean, not right under his nose. I want to keep mine in one piece

I know you ... I know you ain't scared of Louis, now. Come on

Billie, go home. Go home

I can't let them know them goddamn soap bastards got to me. Don't do that to me, buddy

You think I'm crazy enough to carry in the city?

Come on, pal

Now, Billie, go home. You know you can't fight it when you're
Hooked, and you are hooked. You're an A number-one mainliner

You think so, huh?
Okay, pally

Oh- I'm sorry
My glass slipped

Hey, look, let's go. This party's too tight ass for me

Wait a minute. Wait a minutе
No, wait a minute, now. Listen, I got some businеss to take care of
Just hang on for a few minutes. Everything will be smooth and I'll take you right on home, okay?

We've got a surprise for you right now. A very talented young lady is here tonight

No, it's not okay. If you don't get a cab, I get my own self a cab, okay?

Billie, take it easy, baby

Now I predict the 4:35 is over, will be one of the biggest stars in Manhattan. With a little coaxing, maybe we can get her up here to sing

Just wait one minute. One minute. Okay

Ladies and gentlemen, Cafe Manhattan proudly presents ... Miss Billie Holiday!
