「Mobsters Plot to Kill Little Bonaparte」を読み解く

What's really going on

The scene stacks two kinds of danger. Sugar's heartbreak is real but based on a lie she cannot see: the perfect man is Joe in disguise, and the bracelet she treasures was paid for with someone else's money. Around her, the mob is doing its own arithmetic; they talk about assassinating Little Bonaparte the way a club discusses a motion — "Second the motion" — and settle on "we'll make sure there are no witnesses." That phrase is aimed at nobody in particular until the gangsters recognize the two women from the elevator. "Maybe those dames ain't dames," one says, and the room's danger flips from politics to the heroes. Joe and Jerry, meanwhile, are still planning to sneak away across town.

Theme

PowerThe gangsters casually plan a killing over a private motion, showing how mob power turns assassination into ordinary business.
LiesSugar's happiness rests on Joe's invention, and the bracelet she treasures comes from a deception she still cannot see.

このチャプターで学べること

  • Sugar's grief is measured in gas stations.
  • Jerry's advice is blunt but useless.
  • The mob spots the same faces twice.
  • A joke hides the threat in the room.

発音のポイント

  • All of a — All of a blurs into a single sound.
  • there'll always — There'll weakens before the stressed always.
  • crazy or — Crazy and or link together.
No matter where I go, there'll always be a Shell station on every corner.

Sugar's joke about how hard it will be to forget Junior: his family's name is on every street corner, so the world keeps reminding her.

We'll walk. And if we have to, we'll starve.

Daphne's defiant plan for escaping: they will leave on foot and go hungry if necessary, rather than stay among gangsters.

He's the first nice guy I ever met in my life.

Sugar's verdict on Junior, which is both touching and wrong: the 'nice guy' is a disguised musician who is only pretending to be rich.

The place is crawlin' with mobsters. Gangrene is settin' in.

Daphne's panicked description of the hotel, with gangrene standing in for the danger that feels like it is spreading toward them.

One of these days, Little Bonaparte and Toothpick Charlie will be singin' in the same choir again.

A euphemism for another murder: the gangsters mean they intend to send Little Bonaparte to join the dead Charlie, dressed up as a choir reunion.

このシーンについての質問

Why is Sugar crying?

She believes Junior has left her to marry another woman in South America. He gave her the bracelet she is wearing, so the gift now reminds her of what she thinks she has lost.

Why do the mobsters turn on Little Bonaparte?

They think he has gone soft — 'Hasn't got it here anymore,' one says — and they begin to talk about replacing him, framing a possible killing as a motion to retire him.

Why do they recognize Joe and Jerry?

Because they match the two 'broads' from the elevator: 'Same faces. Same instruments.' Realizing the women were also the witnesses they have been hunting, they decide to finish the job.

What does "a louse" mean?

It is slang for a despicable, selfish person, from the word for a parasitic insect. Here it is the verdict on a man who gives a gift and then runs off to marry someone else.
