Brick is a loud-mouthed, boistrous showboat, more obnoxious style than substance. The only thing that will take the jazz-maddened women’s minds off of Melvin and Malcolm’s music is when Brick shows up at the roach Pit looking for his client. “OOh, it’s Brick!”, they pant as he struts by. He tell his partners Say Wen and Bunky to “Stay here…it might be dangerous!” as he slicks back his hair and prepares to launch himself into the sea of  crazed women.
