Fog Over Frisco Page #2

- Fit, rough and ready, but...

- ... I suppose he'll settle down.

- Say, Arlene, you think there's much...

- ... of a future in reporting?

- Probably for Tony.

If his uncle dies,

he'll own the journal.

I didn't mean that.

Hello you, Radsy, old rascal,

you'll wake father, come here.

- Be a good boy.

- Good night, Val.

Good night, Arlene.

Good night, Arlene. Hope your headache goes,

let me know if there's anything you need.

Thanks, I'll be all right.

Listen to this, boys. Just came:...

..."Chief O'Malley, police

department, San Francisco,...

...believe country wide organisation

using San Francisco as distributing...

...point for stolen securities.

Stop. Appreciate you cooperation.

Walling, departing of justice".

What do you think of that?

- I wonder where he got his tip.

- Never mind, we'd better...

...get right on it. You cover

the bank and security houses.

Whatever you do, don't tip your mitt.

- Good morning, everybody.

- Good morning.

- How are you, dad?

- Did you have a good time last night?

Oh, lots of fun. Spencer's

so cute with Arlene.

Oh, we ran into Tony

Sterling, he's a grand fellow.

- What kind of time did you have?

- Oh, I had lots of fun too,...

...with my rheumatism.

It must have been quite a

party to have caused this story.

Arlene, you promised to

turn over a new leaf after...

...Now you're dragging...

- ... Val's name into your notoriety.

- Let me see it, Arlene.

You're asking too much,

both of me and of Val.

But father, we didn't stay

in Bello's half an hour.

- Long enough to cause plenty of damage.

- This is not Arlene's fault.

It was the most innocent party in

the world. We were with Spencer and...

...the only other man we

spoke to was Tony Sterling.

Don't try to alibi me, Val.

Trouble with you is you have too

many of your mother's qualities:...

- ... unstable, violent...

- Please, father, please!

- Bad blood. A rotten heritage.

- Sour grapes.

You couldn't hold my mother

because you're a mean worn out

Shut up!

I'm sorry if I hurt you

but it had to happen.

Well, I think you

were unnecessary cruel.

No, we had to have it showdowned.

Aren't you making it terrifically

difficult for Arlene's fianc?

Well, there's another face of this

situation I haven't discussed with you.

What's that?

Carlton's work has suffered

greatly in the past few months.

They tell me at the

office he's been worrying.

And we can only attribute it

to his association with Arlene.

- What?

- Yes, Arlene.

I tell you the girl is a pathological

case fit for a sanatorium

...and I'll have her

commited for insanity if...

...she gets mixed up in

just one more scandal.

She's really been wonderful
