Blonde Venus Page #2

- I told him to go away.

- And did he?

- He did not.

And what happened then?

The most beautiful princess of all...

said that if I'd go away,

she'd grant me my wish.

- And what did you wish?

- I wished to see her again.

I couldn't think of anything better to wish.

So that night I went to a theatre,

and music began to play.

And out upon the stage

stepped this princess...

and she looked more beautiful than ever.

She was beautiful!

And then your heart began to go like this?

And Mummy began to sing?

And my heart stopped beating entirely.

What happened to you when you saw him?

I could hardly sing, and I could barely wait

until I saw him again.

But you did see him again, didn't you?

I met him later that night.

- What happened then?

- You can never guess.

- We went walking.

- Go on, walk.

Okay, skipper.

And then we came to a park.

Only there was a tremendously large

yellow moon up in the sky.

It was altogether too big and too bright.

But it was dark under the trees, very dark.

This is a tree, Johnny.

- And what happened under the tree?

- Then he kissed me.

- And what happened after that?

- He kissed me again.

And what happened then?

Then we were married.

And then?

And then we started to think about you...

Get out of here.

Would you need that $1,500 all at once?

No, but if I had $300,

I could at least get to Germany.

I haven't yet figured out

a way of paying the rent...

unless I part with the microscope.

So I'm afraid we'll have to postpone

our trip abroad this year.

I could earn that money

by going back to the stage.

I won't have you do that.

But the doctor says you must go away.

If I worked a few weeks,

I might make enough for your passage.

And then we'll find a way

to keep you over there...

until you get well.

It's out of the question.

I won't have you go back to the stage.

- Ned?

- What is it?

I was going back to my old work anyway.

- Will it make you happy?

- It isn't that. We need money.

It's only a question of weeks.

My formula is almost completed...

- and then we'll have all the money we need.

- I know, dear.

But in the meantime, I'm going to do

something to give you a chance to get well.

Have you come to be placed?

Yes.

- What's your name?

- Faraday.

- What's that?

- Helen Faraday.

- Got an appointment?

- No, I haven't.

You'll have to wait,

all these people are ahead of you.

Thank you, honey. I'll see you later.

Going to lunch, Sally,

be back in 10 minutes.

Morning, Mr. Smith.

You remember me?

What about the job

you said you had for me?

Just a minute, folks.

Just a minute...

You remember my dramatic sketch,

Mr. Smith?

Just a minute, Jim.

You're waiting to see me, aren't you?
