no matter what we talk about,
we wind up talking about Addie Ross?
Maybe it's because
if you girls didn't talk about me,
you just wouldn't talk at all.
That's right. Im Addie.
Im the one they just
can't help talking about.
You know, I wonder if she knows
how much we do talk about her.
And what we say
and how we feel about her.
I know.
Believe me, I do.
And it doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter nearly as much
as what all of you don't know, yet.
- Morning, Mrs. Hollingsway.
- Haven't the others gotten here yet?
No. You're the very first, the early bird.
Ive taken it upon myself
to get the children aboard.
Oh. Good idea, Miss Hawkins.
So that when the other ladies arrive,
we'll be all ready to go.
Fine. If they'll only get here.
Oh, Im sorry we're late.
Rita had to go by the station.
Oh, sure.
Just a husband of mine running like mad.
Why?
Nobody else?
Where's Addie? Weren't you
supposed to pick her up?
Nothing's happened to her, I hope.
Addie Ross left town this morning.
Left town?
Well, what do you mean, "left town"?
She certainly could've told someone,
at least phoned.
She's left for good.
Then it must've been something sudden,
some emergency.
What makes you so sure it's for good?
How do you know?
Well, the doorman told me
she subleased her apartment last week
and yesterday she sold her car.
So much for your sudden emergency.
If that isn't just like her.
Why do you suppose she had
to keep it such a big secret?
or doesn't do anything?
Ive got a letter for the Mesdames Bishop,
Hollingsway and Phipps.
From the dear departed, Ill bet.
Addie's so tactful.
She even puts us in alphabetical order.
- Open it up.
- No, let's wait.
- For what?
- Till we get back. Knowing Addie...
I mean, why let her spoil our day?
Not my day. Addie Ross never
saw the day she could spoil my day.
Did I put enough days into that?
Dearest Debby,
Lora Mae and Rita.
As you know by now, you'll have to
carry on without me from here.
It isn't easy to
leave a town like our town,
to tear myself away from
you three dear, dear friends
who have meant so much to me.
And so I consider myself extremely lucky
to be able to take with me
a sort of memento.
Something to remind me always
of the town that was my home,
and of my three very dearest friends
whom I want never to forget.
And I won't.
You see, girls, Ive run off with one
of your husbands. Addie.
If that's her idea of a joke,
it's in extremely poor taste.
If I ever catch up with that character, Ill...
Ladies, may I suggest...
Well, he's been rude about it.
