"Mr Figaro... I have no money to go back to New York. And the people I came here with... betrayed me..." Amelia was just speaking when Figaro interrupted her by asking, "So, do you want me to lend you some money?"
"No. I want you to ask someone to give me a job in a night club."
"As?" he crossed his legs, knee over the knee as he took a sip of his drink.
