Little Miss Marker

Little Miss Marker (also known as The Girl in Pawn) is an American Pre-Code 1934 comedy-drama film directed by Alexander Hall. It was written by William R. Lipman, Sam Hellman, and Gladys Lehman after a short story of the same name by Damon Runyon. It stars Shirley Temple, Adolphe Menjou, and Dorothy Dell in a story about a little girl held as collateral by gangsters. It was Temple's first starring role in a major motion picture and was crucial to establishing her as a major film star. It was named to the United States National Film Registry in 1998 and has been remade several times.

Sorrowful 'Sir Sorry' Jones:
All right, get out of bed. I'll show you how to pray, sort of. But don't you tell anybody, see?

Marthy Jane, Little Miss Marker:
Is it a secret?

Sorrowful 'Sir Sorry' Jones:
Between you and me. Kneel down. Put your hands together like this. Elbows on the bed. Shut your eyes.

Marthy Jane, Little Miss Marker:
Are you gonna shut yours, too?

Sorrowful 'Sir Sorry' Jones:
No. I gotta see that you do it right.

Marthy Jane, Little Miss Marker:
Now what do I do?

Sorrowful 'Sir Sorry' Jones:
Say like this: Now I lay me down to sleep,

Marthy Jane, Little Miss Marker:
Now I lay me down to sleep,

Sorrowful 'Sir Sorry' Jones:
I pray the Lord my soul to keep.

Marthy Jane, Little Miss Marker:
I pray the Lord my soul to keep.

Sorrowful 'Sir Sorry' Jones:
If I should die before I wake,

Marthy Jane, Little Miss Marker:
If I should die before I wake,

Sorrowful 'Sir Sorry' Jones:
I pray the Lord my soul to take.

Marthy Jane, Little Miss Marker:
I pray the Lord my soul to take.

Sorrowful 'Sir Sorry' Jones:
Make me a good little girl.

Marthy Jane, Little Miss Marker:
[to Sorrowful] You wanna be a little girl?

Sorrowful 'Sir Sorry' Jones:
No, no. Make *you* a good little girl.

Marthy Jane, Little Miss Marker:
[praying] Make me a good little girl. [to Sorrowful] Is that all?

Sorrowful 'Sir Sorry' Jones:
That's the works.

Marthy Jane, Little Miss Marker:
But when do I ask for what I want?

Sorrowful 'Sir Sorry' Jones:
You better do it right now, while your prayer's still hot.

Marthy Jane, Little Miss Marker:
[praying] Please, God, buy Sir Sorry a new suit of clothes.
