Peggy Nash: You know, Gladys, it's funny. After all the places I've been, things I've done, I've just moved across town, that's all. From East Side to West Side. You look out and see the same back alleys, the same fire escapes, the same clotheslines. I'm back just where I started.
Gladys: Wished I was back where I started, baby, with a wonderful guy named Jake Smith right over in Jersey City. He was just a grease monkey in a junkyard garage. He only made 20 bucks a week, but he was great on this thing called love. I was a dizzy dope. I was gonna burn up the world. I got burned myself. Ever watch a moth fly in the flame? Can't stop 'em till their wings burn off. Believe you me, if Jake would take me back now, l'd crawl on my knees right over to Jersey City, so help me. We girls never get wise until it's too late
