[Frank is visiting Sammy Davis Jr. in hospital, who has lost an eye in a car accident]
I talked to your old man and to the doc, they're gonna get you outta here pretty soon. Get you a private nurse. Whatever you need.
[wearing a cover over his eyes] I appreciate it, man, but you can't help me outta this one.
Ah, quit whining. You're gonna be great. [passes Sammy his cigarette] Here take a drag. [Sammy takes a drag]
What am I gonna do now? I can't dance with one eye.
What do you mean you can't dance with one eye? You can't dance with one foot.
You know the audience will be whispering "Look there's the cat with the glass eye."
Nah, they won't. They'll be saying "There goes the funny looking coloured midget with a glass eye." [they both laugh]
[short pause] You know, butter, if I can't dance. I don't wanna live.
Yeah, well, we all hit bottom sometimes, smoky. It passes. [short pause] Hey, look at that.
What?
Oh my God!
What, Frank?!
[jokingly] It's a naked nurse.
[Sammy laughs. Frank smiles]
I got plans for us, kid.
