BRUNO:
(contritely)
There I go again. Too friendly. I
meet someone I' like and open my yap
too wide. I'm sorry...
At the appeal on Bruno's face, Guy slowly relents.
GUY:
That's all right. Forget it. I
guess I'm pretty jumpy.
Bruno smiles with and signals a waiter.
BRUNO:
There's a new cure for that.
(to waiter)
Scotch and plain water. A pair.
Double.
(to Guy with a chuckle)
Only kind of doubles I play.
GUY:
You'll have to drink both of them.
BRUNO:
(grinning)
And I can do it.
(moving in)
When's the wedding?
GUY:
What?
BRUNO:
The wedding. You and Anne Burton.
(a gesture of
explanation)
It was in the papers.
GUY:
It shouldn't have been. Unless
they've legalized bigamy overnight.

BRUNO:
I have a theory about that. I'd
like to tell you about it some time.
But right now I suppose divorce Is
still the simplest operation.
The waiter has brought the drinks. Bruno slips the lighter
into hip pocket to free his hands for the bills which he
gives to the waiter, waving away the change. He offers a
glass to Guy. Guy takes it.
GUY:
(as if he needs it)
I guess I will.
BRUNO:
(happily)
This is wonderful -- having your
company all the way to New York.
GUY:
(forced to explain)
As a matter of fact, I'm not going
direct. I'm stopping off. At
Metcalf.
BRUNO:
Metcalf? What would anybody want to
go there for?
GUY:
It's my home town.
BRUNO:
Oh, I get it! A little talk with
your wife to about the divorce! I
suppose she was the girl next door.
Held her hand in high school and
before you knew it -- hooked!
(proud of his
perspicacity)
Am I right?
GUY:
(laconically)
Close enough.
BRUNO:
(raises his glass)
Well, here's luck, Guy. Drink up -then
we'll have some lunch sent to
my compartment.

GUY:
Thanks very much. But I think I'll
go to the dining car.
(he hails a waiter
who is passing through
with a food-laden
tray)
Do you know if there are any vacant
seats in the dining car now?
WAITER:
Not for about twenty minutes I'm
afraid, Sir.
BRUNO:
(pleased)
See? You'll have to lunch with me.
(motions the waiter
back)
Say, waiter, bring me some lamb chops
and French fries and chocolate ice
cream, Compartment D, Car 121.
(turns to Guy)
What'll you have, Guy?
GUY:
Thanks just the same, but I really
don't think -
BRUNO:
Oh, go on and order.
The waiter is hovering impatiently. Guy gives in out of
embarrassment.
GUY:
Well, I'll Just have a hamburger and
a cup of coffee.
BRUNO:
(delighted, lifts his
glass in another
toast)
