A Kiss Before Dying Page #3

It's important, Dory.

- Is it anything to do with tomorrow?

- Yes.

- Something's wrong?

- Just the opposite. It's wonderful news.

Tell me!

Uh-uh. I want to see your face

when I tell you.

- You can meet me, can't you?

- Where?

- How about the fountain? 15 minutes OK?

- OK. Bye.

- Hi!

- Hi, Annabelle.

- Boy, have I been operating.

- You sound like it.

Yeah. I ran into this fella

I used to know.

He's the assistant manager

at the Desert Palms.

He thinks he can get us a bungalow

for the weekend for a few bucks!

- Wonderful!

- Yeah. Yeah.

I'm on my way to see him about it now.

- Now how's that for luck?

- You feel better about it, don't you?

I admit, I was nervous at first.

But it's going to work out.

I know it is.

Before I forget...

I saw Hermy today.

He gave me these.

- What are they?

- For you.

I feel fine now.

They're not for your stomach, Dory.

They're vitamins.

Hermy just got some samples in.

He's gonna order some more for us.

A fine mother you'll be. You don't keep up

with the latest developments.

These were in the medical journals

last month.

Dutiful father. I suppose you know

everything that's in them.

I don't have to. I know Hermy.

Darling, I know you can't

go to the doctor yet,

but I do want you to start

taking care of yourself.

- Well?

- Nothing.

Use your handkerchief.

The gelatin might melt.

You're supposed to take them after dinner.

You can do that when you get back home.

If you don't care about

your family's health, I do.

Listen, honey, I gotta go.

I gotta meet Stanley.

Good night, Dory.

- Good night.

- Sweetheart?

Both of them.

- Hello?

- Dory? Me.

I just saw Stanley. We got the deal.

That's wonderful.

Yeah, yeah. I already put down

a deposit on it to seal it.

- Dory, did you take the capsules?

- Yes.

- When?

- Just a few minutes ago.

Dory?

Listen, I forgot to tell you.

They might hurt a little, burn or give you

some pains, but don't get frightened.

Hermy said that some people

are allergic to them at first.

- But you don't have to call anyone.

- All right.

- See you tomorrow?

- Uh-huh.

- Good night.

- Goodbye, baby.

Oh, thanks. You're the greatest.

- You want some eggs?

- No, thanks. I don't want to be late.

Mother? Pick one.

Mother, I've been thinking. Maybe

I'm wasting my time at the university.

- What do you mean?

- I thought I'd quit school, get a job.

I don't know...

I've got an idea.

Why don't you quit work early tonight? We

can go out to dinner, catch an early show.

- Oh, you don't want to go out with me.

- You're still my best girl, aren't you?

I've been neglecting you lately. Tell Mr.

Muller you've got a date. With your son.

We'll see.
