Bad Girls Go to Hell (1965) Movie Script
- I've gotta go, honey.
- Do you have to?
- I have to get up and shave and shower.
It's getting late.
- Oh gee.
- Come on now.
You be a good girl Meg.
- Why can't you stay?
I miss you already.
- That's good.
I want you to miss me.
What would you like to do tonight?
Would you like to go dancing?
Sounds nice.
You get spiffed up
in your prettiest dress.
I'll be home early and we'll have dinner
and then go to that calypso
bar you like so much.
I still can't see why
you have to go to the office
today.
It's Saturday.
Nobody works on Saturday.
I'm sorry, honey.
But Ed's in town for the day only
and I must see him before he leaves.
I'm sure that if
you had really wanted to
you could have worked things out
so that you could spend the day with me.
It was impossible.
Now stop nagging.
I'll just have time for coffee.
- For heaven sake, sit
down and eat properly.
- Look, don't be angry.
- You're impossible.
- Now, be reasonable.
I'll get home early.
Goodbye.
- Why can't you speak to ed on the phone?
- Meg, please don't nag.
Now, let me see you smile.
There, that's my girl.
See you later.
- Stop, stop or I'll scream.
You wouldn't be so foolish.
- I hear someone coming, get up.
Get up!
You'd better not say anything
to anyone about this.
- Come to my apartment
or I'll tell your husband what happened.
- Look, here, some money.
I'll get you more.
- I don't want your money.
- No, no.
No, no.
No, no.
Please, please stop.
- See, you came here to live.
I thought about you all the time.
- No, no.
No, no.
If my husband finds out.
- If you don't tell him,
he'll never find out.
But I will tell my husband.
- You won't tell him, you're too smart.
- No.
Oh my god.
What have I done?
Oh, I can't believe it.
What did I do?
If Ted had stayed home today,
this wouldn't have happened.
No one will believe that
I didn't go to that...
That man's apartment willingly.
Ugh.
- If only I hadn't destroyed the note
that he put under the door.
What can I do?
I'd better go away but where?
Where can I go?
Poor Ted.
I'll go to New York.
I can get lost in the crowds there.
- What's the matter kid?
Nothing.
- If nothing's a matter,
what are you crying about?
You in some kind of trouble?
- No.
- You're sure you're not
in some kind of trouble?
- No, I'm not.
- Do you have any place to go?
- No. No, place.
- Do you have any money?
No place to go and no
money to go there with.
That's pretty rough kid.
Come on.
I take it you are from out of town.
- Yes I am.
- Were you ever in New York before?
No, never.
- Well, it's a pretty big
place, but to me, it's home.
I had a job in Reno for
about three months last year.
It's an exciting town, but
doesn't compare to New York
as far as I'm concerned.
I just couldn't wait to
get back to the big city.
Where you from?
- Chicago.
- What's your name?
- Ellen, Ellen green.
- Well, this is home.
- It's very nice.
- Are you hungry?
- No.
- You sure you don't
want something to eat?
- No.
- You can sleep on the couch.
It's pretty comfortable.
I'll take the bedroom.
You can put your things in that closet.
- Thank you.
- I'm ai banes, I have a night job.
I sleep during the day.
I'm gonna turn in now.
Relax kid.
You don't have a thing to worry about.
Smells good.
I'm gonna miss your
cooking when you're gone.
No kidding.
Cut it.
Come on, relax.
I'm sorry, kid.
- That's all right.
- You're a funny one.
So quiet.
What are you thinking about?
- I'm thinking how kind you are.
You're really the kindest man I've known.
- Ah, come on.
I mean it.
I feel like having a drink
some nice scotch and soda or
- I have no liquor here.
If you wanna drink, go to a bar.
Ellen.
- Hello, al.
- Get out!
- Al, don't.
What do I do now?
Where do I go?
Surely there must be some
place where I can be safe.
- Pretty, isn't it?
Beautiful color.
Really smart.
- Beautiful.
- I see you have luggage.
Where are you heading for?
- I wish I knew.
I'm not heading for any place.
You mean you
don't have a place to stay?
No, I haven't.
That's too bad.
Say, I think I can help you.
Come along, I'll tell
you what I have in mind.
Come on.
Well, you coming?
Yeah, I suppose so.
- What's your name?
Ellen green, I'm from Chicago.
You're a long way from home.
Well, anyway, my cousin del
is looking for a roommate
and I'm sure you'll like each other.
Well, I'll take you to see her now.
That would be very kind of you.
Oh, that's all right.
As they say in the movies
anything to help a damsel in distress.
I do appreciate it.
Here we are.
Door's open, come in.
- Hi della, this is Ellen green
and this is my cousin, della Boyd.
Hello, della.
- Hello there.
She's cute.
Ellen just came into town
and doesn't have a place to stay.
I knew you were looking for
someone to share your apartment
and well I thought I'd bring
her over to talk to you.
- Thanks Tracy.
Hope it's all right.
- You're a pal.
I guess I'd better go now
I have a million things to do.
I have a heavy date tonight
and I want to look my best.
I understand.
- I'll leave you two alone
together to get acquainted.
I'm sure you'll get along,
that everything will work out fine.
Goodbye della, so long Ellen.
Goodluck.
- Thanks.
Come on in.
You're very
kind. I do appreciate it.
Oh, that's all
right. Why don't you sit down.
- Thanks, I will.
I must tell you, I don't have any money
but if you let me stay, I'll find work
and pay you for everything.
- Ah, don't worry about it.
You'll earn your keep.
- Thank you.
Why don't you
go inside and unpack.
What do you do for a living?
Oh, I'm a dancer.
An acrobatic dancer.
Watch.
Say, you are really good.
You shouldn't have any
trouble getting good job.
- I thank you.
Hey, did I say something wrong?
What are you brooding about?
Let's dance.
Oh, please.
- What's the matter with you?
- Leave me alone.
- Hi.
- Hello Ellen.
Oh, I'm tired.
I could have helped you shop.
- It's all right, doesn't matter.
- I wonder if della suspects anything.
I must try to act as though
nothing is the matter,
but I can't.
I'd better try to keep out of sight
and yet I must look for work.
Della has been wonderful to me
but I can't continue to impose upon her.
Oh, what can I do?
I wonder how Ted is.
I wonder what he's doing.
Does he care what's happening to me?
Sometimes I think I'm
going crazy just worrying.
- Ellen, I'd like to talk to you.
What's the matter? You seem so upset.
- Oh.
- So unhappy.
Why don't you tell me what's wrong?
I know that something's troubling you.
What is it?
What's it all about?
- Oh, it's nothing.
Really, it isn't.
- Maybe I can help you.
It's nothing I tell you.
You're very foolish.
If something is bothering you,
it's best to talk about it.
You know what they say. Two
heads are better than one.
I'm sure that whatever it
is, it can be worked out.
- I'm alright.
- Okay, Ellen, whatever you say.
- Goodbye della.
Where are you going Ellen?
What's the matter? What's wrong?
You have no money.
I'll manage somehow.
I'll find a job.
I'll be all right.
- Wait a second.
Why are you leaving?
You know that I love you.
- I know.
- I love you too.
- Then?
- That's why I must go.
- Yes?
- You have a room for rent.
- Yes, come in.
My husband.
Hello.
- Well, this is it and very nice
if I must say so myself.
- It's nice, I'll take it.
- Don't you wanna know what the rent is
before you decide to take it, huh?
- Of course.
How much is it?
- $20 a week.
- I'll take it.
- What's your name?
- Ellen, Ellen green.
- Where are you from?
- Chicago.
- I know some friends in Chicago.
They live on elm street.
You know where that is?
- Of course but I don't
know many people there.
I didn't live there very
long, only a few months.
I have a few acquaintances in Chicago.
- I'm sure you'll make
friends in New York.
If you want anything,
you just have to ask me.
- I'm sorry, I'm tired. I'd like to rest.
I hope that I can stay here for a while
until I can decide what to do.
I'm so scared.
I'm so miserable.
If only I could see Ted again,
if only I could talk to him.
I'll scream for your wife.
Hmm.
Companion wanted for semi invalid.
That might be just what I want.
I hope it isn't too far from here.
I think I'll try it.
I'm answering your ad for companion.
- Come in my dear, I'm Mrs. Thornton.
Thank you.
- What is your name?
- Ellen green.
- Where are you from?
- Chicago.
- Even taking a few
steps is too much for me.
I remember I used to stay
up all night dancing,
but now...
- I'm tired.
May I sit down?
- Oh, I'm sorry.
Sit down my dear.
- Thank you.
- I live here alone and
can't do for myself anymore.
My son, Tom would say
I was being full hearty
hiring you without references.
But you look as though
you wouldn't hurt a fly.
I like what I see and I'm never wrong.
- Thank you, I'm very grateful.
- Why do you wanna be a companion
to an old woman like me?
You are very young and very pretty.
- My mother wasn't nimble
and I took care of her for two years.
Besides it's the only kind
of work I really wanna do.
- In that case, I understand.
Well, the first bedroom to
the right will be yours.
Why don't you unpack and freshen up.
Then you can prepare a snack first
and we'll talk about salary
and what your duties will be.
- All right.
- Go ahead my dear.
I'll do my very best.
Thank you for everything.
You play beautifully.
No one has touched that piano
since my daughter Anne
moved to Los Angeles.
It's so good to have you here, Ellen
but I've been wondering why
do you always look so sad
so bewildered?
Why don't you smile?
There, that's better.
Ellen my dear.
Would you go to the drug
store and get my pills for me?
I think it'll cost about $2.
- Oh, that man followed me.
He must have known who I am.
Did he see me come in here?
Oh, what should I do?
I'd better bring the
pills in to Mrs. Thornton.
- Goodbye.
Oh, I've just had the most wonderful news.
It's my son, Tom.
I'm so excited.
He just called me from the station
and he'll be here any minute now.
Did I tell you Tom's a detective?
Right now, he's on a
very interesting case.
Something about this girl in Boston
who killed the janitor in her
building and then ran away.
Oh, it was cold blooded,
but she won't get away.
They'll find her all right.
They have plenty of clues.
They have her fingerprints
and a picture of her too.
Tom will tell us all about
it when he gets here.
Ooh, there's Tom now.
Tom dear.
- Hi mother.
How are you?
- Fine son.
- Good to see you.
I'm so glad to have you home.
- It's good to be home mother.
- Oh, this is Ellen green.
Ellen, this is my boy, Tom.
Ellen's been taking care of me.
I wrote you about her.
Ellen's a fine, good girl.
- Ellen green.
I've seen you some place before.
Why are you
looking at Ellen like that?
- Where are you from?
Ellen's from Chicago.
Chicago?
I've seen you some place before.
- What's the matter?
- It's strange, but I know I've seen you.
You're Meg kelton.
You killed amis Wright.
- I didn't mean to do it.
I didn't mean to do it.
- Meg, what's the matter?
What is it?
- Hold me close.
- Now what's wrong?
- I had the most horrible dream.
- Take it easy, honey.
It was only a dream.
I left Ed's contract on the chest
and couldn't remember the figures.
I didn't discover it until
I reached the office.
My meeting with ed wouldn't
have made much sense
without these figures
and so I had to come back for them.
I'm sorry, dear but I won't be
home until about five o'clock
but you be dressed and
we'll go out as we planned.
Okay?
Now smile.
- You don't understand.
It was terrible.
- Remember, it was only a dream.
See you later.
- Do you have to?
- I have to get up and shave and shower.
It's getting late.
- Oh gee.
- Come on now.
You be a good girl Meg.
- Why can't you stay?

You killed amis Wright.
- I didn't mean to do it.
I didn't mean to do it.
- Meg, what's the matter?
What is it?
- Hold me close.
- Now what's wrong?
- I had the most horrible dream.
- Take it easy, honey.
It was only a dream.
I left Ed's contract on the chest
and couldn't remember the figures.
I didn't discover it until
I reached the office.
My meeting with ed wouldn't
have made much sense
without these figures
and so I had to come back for them.
I'm sorry, dear but I won't be
home until about five o'clock
but you be dressed and
we'll go out as we planned.
Okay?
Now smile.
- You don't understand.
It was terrible.
- Remember, it was only a dream.
See you later.
