Original Broadway Cast of Violet
Anyone Would Do
[HOTEL HOOKER]
Hey there, soldiers, how are you?
She's got two and I got none
And right now anyone would do

[FLICK, spoken]
Forget about Elvis. Memphis is Beale Street, and Beale Street is the blues!

[MONTY, spoken]
How's the bed? Comfy?

[VIOLET, spoken]
As a roll of fence wire. 

[ALMETA, spoken]
It wasn't made to be stood on, miss. Flick, have you seen the new ice machine?

[FLICK, spoken]
Down the hall, right?

[ALMETA, spoken]
Let me show you… Whatsamatter, you crazy? This ain't New York City, and if anybody finds out about that gal there's gonna be trouble. 

[FLICK, spoken]
Almeta, come on now. Look at her. Ain't nobody gonna think nothin'. 
[ALMETA, spoken]
I don't care if that scar goes from here to her hush puppy, she's still white. Alright. They can stay the night, but don't you ever bring that gal back here again. 

[VIOLET, spoken]
Maybe this was a bad idea. 

[MONTY, spoken]
Naaah. You wash up, come on down the hall, we'll go get throw-a-baby-to-the-hogs drunk. Do sump'n you can write about in that book of yours. 

[HOTEL HOOKER]
How'd I get to be so blue?
Seems I don't have anyone
When right now anyone would do

[FLICK]
Raise your foot now that's the way
You'll be movin' on today
Raise the other, put it down
