But you're saving up for your shop

and to get married, and...

Who said anything about getting married?

Well, Mary expects it, doesn't she?

What's her last name? What does she do?

Her last name is Wilton.

She's a receptionist at the hospital.

She has blond hair, blue eyes.

She weighs 105 pounds stripped.

She sleeps in pajamas.

She's a first-rate cook

and she doesn't ask questions.

She does, too.

Anyway, let me pay my share, I insist.

All right, if that's the way you want it.

I'd like a night cap. How about you?

Oh, no, you don't smoke or drink, do you?

- I only ask questions and I love to dance.

- Tonight?

If I tell you something,

will you promise not to laugh at me?

No, but I'll promise

to try not to laugh at you.

You're the first man I've danced with

since I've been in America.

- Except my father.

- Really?

You're doing all right.

Diane.

Daddy, why aren't you in bed?

That's just what

I was going to ask you, my dear.

- Where've you been so late?

- For a drive.

I had to get out, just for a little while.

- How is she?

- Sleeping quietly.

Have the police found out

what really happened?

Well, they suggested she might have

accidentally kicked the key with her foot.

You don't think

that she could've intended to commit...

With her bridge club meeting tomorrow?

You should know our Catherine

better than that.

Good night, my pet.

God bless.

It was nice of you to come.

You must have been surprised

getting a phone call

from a complete stranger.

Frankly, I was.

You're no stranger to me.

- Frank told me so much about you.

- Frank?

I was with him last night after he made

the phone call from our house.

You must forgive me for that.

And him, too.

Frank is free to go out

with whoever he pleases, Miss Tremayne.

But you're angry

because he lied to you on the phone.

Wouldn't you be?

Put yourself in the poor man's place.

What could he have said

without hurting your feelings even more?

You must know

that I wouldn't be telling you this

if it wasn't completely innocent.

Excuse me.

Don't be cross, please.

- Miss Tremayne...

- Do call me Diane.

Diane, I'm sure your motives

for telling me all this are good,

but, frankly, I wish you hadn't.

But why?

We spent most of the time

talking about you.

And about his plans

for his racing car place.

That's why I called.

I'm afraid I don't understand.

Mary, would you accept $1,000 from me

to add to that garage fund?

$1,000?

- But why...

- I have few friends, none actually.

And last night, after I left Frank,

I got to thinking about you two.

And I thought that if I could help you both

to realize your dream,

I'd have a little part in your life.
