Ragtime - Nothing Like The City

[TATEH]

Mister, please, where is this?



[CONDUCTOR]

You're in New Rochelle. You can atke the rope off her.

This ain't the city.



[LITTLE BOY]

Mother!



[MOTHER]

I see! I see! He's afraid of losing her. Immigrants

are terrified of losing their children. So are we but

just not so conspicuously. Don't stare. It's not

polite to stare.



[TATEH]

He's a rude little boy. Ignore him. poeople of good

breeding do not stare at other people. they acknowledge

htem politley with a bow... like this.



Good day.



[MOTHER]

Good day, sir.



[TATEH]

She called me "sir."

Without a doubt,

We're really out

Of New York City!



[MOTHER]

Fine weather, isn't it?



[TATEH]

Isn't it?

Now that we're out of the city,

Isn't it?



[BOTH]

Nothing like the city...



[LITTLE GIRL]

He's still staring.



[TATEH]

Never mind.



[LITTLE BOY]

My father's at the North Pole,

With Admiral Peary and eskimos!

Where is your mother?



[LITTLE GIRL]

Dead.



[MOTHER]

Edgar!



[LITTLE BOY]

My name is Edgar. We're off

To visit out foreworks factory.

What is your name?



[LITTLE GIRL]

No name.



[LITTLE BOY]

That's impossible.

Everyone had a name,

Even the little Negro baby

Who lives in our attic!!!



[MOTHER]

Sshh. Do not be rude!

He talks.



[LITTLE BOY]

I never knew anyone

Who stayed on a rope

Like a puppy dog.

What does it feel like?



[TATEH]

I see that.



[LITTLE GIRL]

Safe.



[MOTHER]

He also stares.



[LITTLE BOY]

Safe?



[MOTHER]

You'd think

He'd never

Seen someone

From New York City



[LITTLE GIRL]

Yes.



[LITTLE BOY]

Everyone's safe

In New Rochelle.



[TATEH]

Isn't it?

Isn't it?

[TATEH]

Well.
