Cat on a Hot Tin Roof Page #3

"We love you when we're with you

"And we love you out of sight

"Big Mama, too"

I've got news, honey!

Big news.

Big Daddy's going to live.

That's right, he's a well man.

That's what Big Mama said and Dr. Baugh

was right there with them.

You should've seen Mae and Gooper's face.

They almost dropped dead

from shock themselves.

He's all right?

Feeling like 40...

...and talking like 20.

And we can drive back

to New Orleans tonight.

- I'm taking no chances on moving you.

- I won't break.

Or letting them poison

Big Daddy's mind against you.

I just want you to get dressed

and come to Big Daddy's birthday party.

First thing Big Daddy asked about was you.

Big Daddy! Now what makes him so big?

His big heart, his big belly...

...or his big money?

The heat has made you cross.

Give me my crutch.

Why don't you put on

your silk pajamas, honey...

...and come on down to the party?

There's a lovely cool breeze.

Give me my crutch, Maggie.

Lean on me, baby.

You've got a nice smell about you.

- Was your bathwater cool?

- No.

I know something

that would make you cool and fresh.

Alcohol rub.

Cologne.

No thanks. We'd smell alike.

Like a couple of cats in the heat.

It's cool on the lawn.

I am not going down there.

Not for you and not for Big Daddy!

At least give him this present...

...that I remembered to buy for you,

for his birthday.

Just write a few words on this card.

You write something.

It's got to be your handwriting.

It's your present.

I didn't get him a present.

What's the difference?

If there's no difference, you write the card!

- And have him know you didn't remember?

- I didn't remember!

You don't have to prove it to him!

Just write, "Love, Brick"...

...for heaven's sake!

- You've got to.

- I don't have to do anything!

You forget the conditions I agreed on

to stay living with you!

I'm not living with you.

We occupy the same cage, that's all!

That's the first time you've raised

your voice in a long time.

A crack in the stone wall?

I think that's a fine sign. Mighty fine.

What did you do that for?

To give us a little privacy for a while.

Don't make a fool of yourself.

I don't mind making a fool

of myself over you.

I mind. I feel embarrassed for you.

Feel embarrassed!

I can't live on this way.

- You agreed to accept that condition!

- I know I did, but I can't!

Let go.

Let go, Maggie!

Son!

We've got the most wonderful news

about Big Daddy!

What's this door doing locked?

You think there's robbers in the house?

Brick's getting dressed, Big Mama.

He's still getting dressed.

It won't be the first time

I've seen Brick not dressed.

Open this door.

Brick, honey!

Sweetheart, how does your leg feel?
