Movie: Ragtime
Unknown Artists - 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::)
That's children,
Isn't it?

(::LITTLE GIRL::)
Safe?

(::MOTHER::)
Isn't it?

(::LITTLE BOY::)
Yes.

(::BOTH::)
Always another surprise,
Isn't it?

(::CONDUCTOR::)
Boston Post Road trolley! Boston!

(::MOTHER::)
Well.

(::TATEH::)
Well.
Have a pleasant day, ma'am.

(::MOTHER::)
Have a pleasant trip, sir...

(::MOTHER And TATEH::)
Nothing like the city...

(::CONDUCTOR::)
Mamaroneck! All aboard for Mamaroneck!

(::LITTLE BOY::)
We know those peopl.

(::MOTHER::)
That's ridiculous. They're poor foreigners.

(::LITTLE BOY::)
Then we're going to know them.

(::MOTHER::)
Who put such thoughts in your head?
