A dollar and some change.
TILDA
Girl. Where you work?
DESSI
The Cotton Club.
TILDA
Stop lying. You ain’t yellow enough to work at the Cotton Club.
DESSI
Not onstage. I wash dishes.
TILDA
Oh. You like it?
DESSI
What you think? It’s white folks’ dishes.

TILDA
You dance, Bama?
DESSI
I do.
TILDA
Lindy?
DESSI
I can do ’em all.
TILDA
I might have something better than white folks’ dirty dishes. Ever been to the Savoy?
DESSI
Couple of times.
TILDA
I’m a hostess there. We looking for new girls.
