"No, the government troops came; the Carranzistas. But they were only just in time." "Phew! No wonder you spoke of the movies! It sounds like a melodrama, doesn't it?" "It was a tragedy." Willa's voice was very low. "We would all have been wiped out, if it had not been for one man.
We are a peaceful and humdrum family, very different from the westerners of the romantic movies.
"You wouldn't like it. You'd prefer the movies." Four days later, Daisy Snow called and gave Warble a jolt or two. "Huh, sizing me up, are they?" Warble sniffed. "Looking at me through the footle, distorted little microscope of their own silly scrubby little souls! Pooh, they couldn't, one of them, make a decent puff paste!" "But we can get cooks to do that.
"Once you let a man think he could use you as a door-mat, where were you?" "What happened then, honey?" "Well, after that we went to the movies." Archie started convulsively. The change from his dollar-bill leaped in his hand. Some of it sprang overboard and tinkled across the floor, with the brigand in pursuit. A monstrous suspicion had begun, to take root in his mind.

As Johnny stood there staring, the whole affair seemed so much like things he had seen done on the screen, that he found it difficult to realize that this was an actual tragedy, being enacted before his very eyes. "They do it in the movies," he said. "Yes," his companion agreed, "but here they will kill him. We must hurry to help him." "Who is he?" "Don't you see? The Russian."

"Dunno, run round a bit an' go to the movies," he answered, filling his mouth with potato. "Gawd, it's time fer retreat." They overheard a voice behind them. Fuselli stuffed his mouth as full as he could and emptied the rest of his meal reluctantly into the garbage pail.
