Eyes in the Night

She's 17. She's very headstrong.

Well, she's completely gone on him.

She's Stephen's only

child. He adores her.

And for Stephen's sake,

as well as for her own,

I felt I simply had to tell

her what a rotter Paul is.

But Paul has poisoned her

mind against me already.

He's made her believe that

I am still in love with him,

That I'm playing the role

of the discarded woman.

Imagine, me burning up with jealousy

Because he happens to

prefer a younger woman.

Well, that's what he's told her.

And worse than that, he's convinced her

That I married her father for his money.

By now, of course, the child hates me.

I:

- I don't know if I can help you on that.

I'm only a gumshoe.

But offhand, I would

say one thing, though.

What?

You've got to have a talk with Gerente.

Oh, Mac, you don't seem

to understand at all.

I loathe the man.

My dear, you seem to

be forgetting one thing.

You're not just another woman

That's been treated badly by Gerente.

You're this girl's mother now,

And your husband expects

you to look after her.

She's your responsibility.

What would I say to him?

Go to him, tell him you're going to

fight him, show him that you mean it.

Well, try it.

If it doesn't work, we'll

- We'll figure out something else.

Ohh, Mac, I never even come to see you

Except when I'm in trouble.

What are old friends for?

Goodbye, darling, and thank you.

I'll go to see him right away.

That girl. Goodbye, dear.

Friday, show the lady to the door.

Oh, beg your pardon.

Oh, it's you, Paul!

Norma, darling!

Here, wait a minute

while I turn on the light.

I'm the last one out. I

was just leaving for town.

There.

With the footlights,

we'll both feel at home.

Oh, but won't you sit down?

Well, my flower, it is

good to see you again.
