Ex-Lady Page #2

---

I don't want to be like my mother,

a yes-woman for some man.

I want to be a person on my own.

If I like to live a certain way, and

have a certain kind of furniture...

...do a certain kind of work, and

wear a certain kind of clothes...

I want to do it. And not have somebody

tell me I ought to do something else.

No one is going to tell you.

Oh, yes you are. If you're married.

That's what being married means.

You must do what the other person

wants. You must please them.

Marriage means... oh, I've said

it 50 times, Don. It's dull.

I'm not going to say it again. Toast?

- Helen, I feel strongly

about this. -Stop it.

It's either marriage, or...

It's dull!

Where are you going?

It's dull!

You're just as stubborn as

your father. Just as stubborn.

We have a different sense of

values. I don't want babies.

When I'm 40, I'll think of babies.

In the meantime, there are 20 years

in which I want to be the baby...

...and play with my toys, and have

a good time playing with them.

A career.

Oh, it isn't just that. Sure, I want

to do good work. But it isn't that.

I want to stay young for a while & have

a good time. And not be dull and set.

I don't want to be a wife.

And I do want to be a husband.

Wants to be a husband!

I don't see anything funny about that.

I want to marry you, and

that's all there is to it.

Alright, that's all there is to it.

Alright, that's all there is to it.

Oh, don't be a fool.

Be a fool!

- Hello, Helen.

- Hello!

Oh, you don't want to see me.

Well, this is strictly business.

Somebody told me you're a good artist.

Alright. Business is business.

I'm going over to Nick's place.

Suppose you drop in there?

Why Nick's place?

He's having an exhibit of his work. All

the big who's-its are going to be there.

- Alright.

- See you there.

What lines! What life!

Yes, it's beautiful.

So round, and soft.

- This line. -Come,

darling, let's move along.

Oh, let's look at this one. It's called

"Josephine. " Don't you love it, ducky?

[Conversation in Italian. ]

- Haven't we met somewhere

before? -Oh, have we?

- Now your name

is, uhh... -Iris.

- Iris! Of course, Iris. And

we met in, uhh... -Venice?

- Venice, yes. Oh. In a

gondola. -In a gondola?

[Italian:
"I recall that

beautiful night in Venice. "]

Oh, that delicious night! The moon on

the water. And the gondolier singing...

[Italian. ]

Yes.

- It's no use.

- What?

I never was in Venice. But I want

to make my husband jealous.

That's my husband. I just can't make

him jealous. Oh, if I only could!

Sorry.

These are all sold.

This one I got $200 for. For this

sweet baby I got 6. That's tops so far.

Although "Josephine" should

bring a whole lot more than that.
