A Place in the Sun Page #2

- Sure I do. I can't swim.

- You're kidding!

I never learned.

I was even scared of the duck pond

when I was a kid.

We lived on a farm, a small one.

How come you came here?

We were poor. We needed the money.

I came down here and got a job.

- I'm glad.

- Me, too.

This is it, where I live.

- It's 4433 Elm Avenue.

- I'll walk you to the door.

I can manage from here.

I have my own private entrance.

Good night.

My landlady is fierce.

I've wanted to do that for so long.

I did, too.

Will we see each other again

like this?

- If you want.

- When?

It's up to you. You gotta be careful.

We can meet like tonight.

Tonight has been wonderful!

I'd better go in now.

Don't go.

Please don't go.

Good night.

- I was looking over at you today.

- I was looking over at you.

Not as much as usual.

- I was thinking about my plan.

- Don't we work fast enough as it is?

- Hi, beautiful.

- Hello, Angela.

George, I'm glad you're still

in the packaging room.

Not just for my sake, honest.

It's better for you than running

around with those Eastmans

and all those rich girls

with nothing to do.

I've only been out to the house

once since I got here.

I used to think you went every night.

Don't be silly, honey.

George, remember when I said

if you're an Eastman, you're not

in the same boat with anybody?

Yeah.

I take it back.

Let's find a quieter place.

You don't know any other place

we can go, do you?

There's a soda fountain

where all the high school kids go.

They're noisy.

I don't care as long as I'm with you.

- What are you doing here?

- Talking.

They've invented the house.

It's a very good place to talk in.

You'd better get back to yours.

Come on.

Come on.

- Good night.

- Come on.

I wish I could ask you in,

but Mrs Roberts is so strict.

I don't want to make things

difficult for you.

I wish I could ask you in, but we'd

have to keep the music awful low.

This is nice.

Mrs Roberts is right next door.

This is the way it should have been.

This is the way...

Oh, George.

George.

- Good morning.

- Good morning.

Who's that? Is that George?

- Yeah.

- What's he doing here?

It was the only place to put him

without firing somebody.

This is no place for him.

- How's he getting along?

- Fine.

It wouldn't hurt to give him

a position. Well, George.

You thought I'd forgotten

all about you.

- No, sir.

- I've been keeping an eye on you.

- That's very good of you, sir.

- Getting along all right?

- I know the work pretty well.

- I suppose you do.

Do you know it well enough

to take on responsibility?

- Yes, sir.

- Good. I'm going to move you up.

- Thank you, sir. I appreciate it.

- You've earned it.
