Eyes in the Night Page #3

Your father thinks you

have a date with some girls.

If you think that's

wrong, then, by all means,

Tell him the truth... mother.

You and your father are such

wonderful friends, Barbara.

Don't you think you

could be honest with him?

In what way? Well, about Paul, I mean.

Well, what about him, dear?

Oh, Barbara, you know as well as I

That you shouldn't be seeing him.

Really, darling? I don't see why not.

Because he's not good.

He's hard and cruel. He's -

How dreadful.

Seems to me that your duty

is perfectly clear, then.

You should go to my father

And tell him that I'm

going out with a bad man.

And when he asks you how

you know he's a bad man,

You tell him.

Tell him that you know

from personal experience.

Won't you? Barbara!

Oh, why do you insist

on misunderstanding me?

I'm older than you. I

made a great mistake.

And I'm only trying to keep

you from suffering as I did.

Darling, do you want

to know what I think?

I think you've come to the

same conclusion that I have -

That there isn't enough room

in this house for both of us.

I think you're trying to

turn my father against me.

You're trying to run my life,

To dominate every movement I make.

Oh, that isn't true.

But you haven't won yet, my sweet.

Because I'm going to stay.

And as long as I'm here,

you're not going to be happy.

I'm going in to town tonight,

And I'm going to have dinner

with Paul Gerente, alone.

Well, you're not going to his apartment.

Apartment?

Operator...

get me Murray hill 44598, please.

Hello, Paul?

Look, darling. I changed

my mind about dinner.

Let's not go to a restaurant.

I think I like your

original invitation better.

Let's have dinner in your apartment.

Why, of course I care, Paul dearest.

All right.

I'll meet you at your apartment at 8:00.

Goodbye, sweet.

Well, darling, we're

off on the big adventure.

Stephen? Yes, dear?

I don't think I should go with you.

What? I thought it was all agreed.

Well, it's just occurred to me -

We shouldn't be flying together.

If anything happened, Barbara

would be left all alone.

I never thought of that.

Of course, you would.

It isn't easy being a stepmother, Norma.

You've done a wonderful job.

I haven't had a worry about

Barbara since you came.

You'll never know how grateful I am.

Ready, Mr. Lawry.

Good luck, darling.

You're all the luck a man could ask for.

Paul?

Barbara!

Shh, shh!

There, there, now.

Try to take hold of yourself.

We'll just get away from

here. Come on, darling.

Why, you!

Barbara!

You're asking me to run away with you?

We've got to get out of

here. Don't you understand?

I have no reason to run.

Why should I run away?

I didn't kill anybody.
