Barefoot in the Park Page #2

What's the matter,

bad news?

It's going to be cloudy tonight

with a light snow.

You'll be the first

in the city

to see it fall.

Hello, is Mr. Paul Bratter

there, please?

This is Mrs. Paul Bratter

calling.

This is terrific.

It works just great.

Just like

a real phone, huh?

Frank, is Paul there?

Hi, Corie.

He left

about 20 minutes ago.

Looked very tired.

Tell him to call me

when he gets in.

I've got great news.

No kidding, Frank.

What is it?

Frank, hang on.

That may be him now.

I didn't

want him to come

till after

the furniture arrived.

Paul?

Corie?

Where are you?

Paul?

Up here!

Paul, up here, top floor!

Oh, it's him!

How long did you say

you were married?

Six days.

He won't notice

the place is empty till June.

So long,

Grammercy 59971.

Have a nice marriage.

Thank you.

And may you soon

have many extensions.

He's on his way up.

Can you hang on

for five more flights?

Paul?

Hurry up, darling!

Now, don't

expect too much,

'cause the furniture

hasn't gotten here yet!

And the paint didn't

turn out exactly right,

but I think it's

going to be beautiful!

Paul?

Paul, are you all right?

I'm coming.

I'm coming.

What?

He's coming.

He's coming.

He's coming.

He's coming.

Hi, sweetheart!

Paul, darling!

Oh! Say something.

It's six flights.

Did you...

Did you know

it's six flights?

Well, it isn't.

It's only five.

What about

that big thing

hanging outside

the building?

That's not a flight.

It's a stoop.

It may look

like a stoop.

It climbs

like a flight.

Is that all

you have to say?

I didn't think

I'd get that much out.

Oh.

But it didn't...

It didn't seem

like six flights

when I first

saw the apartment.

Why... why is that?

You didn't see

this apartment.

Don't you remember?

The woman wasn't home.

You saw the apartment

on the third floor.

That's why.

You don't like it.

I do like it, dear.

I'm just waiting

for my eyes to clear.

I thought

you'd say wow!

I will.

I will.

I'm just...

You...

Wow.

It's going

to be beautiful!

I promise you!

Do you know what?

What?

I missed you.

Really?

In the middle of the

Monday morning conference

I began to...

Let's go back

to the Plaza.

We have an hour

till checkout.

We can't.

Why?

We stole a towel

and three ashtrays. We're hot.

You know, for a lawyer,

you're some good kisser.

Heh-eh!

What?

For a kisser,

I'm some good lawyer.

Something's happened.

Something's happened.

Tell me!

It's not positive.

The office will call

and let me know.

They called.

I mean I called.

When?

Now.

Where?

Over there.

Right now.

You didn't tell me.

I forgot.

You kissed me

and got me all crazy.

Frank. Yes, Frank.
