you again very soon.

Oh, be careful.

Go away.

Oh no. Not 'til I know whether

you're prediction is right or not.

- Prediction?

- Don't you remember?

Seor would like to know...

...if the girl he loves

will have lunch with him tomorrow.

You said she will.

I never remember anything

I say when I'm in a trance.

Well, in case you do I'll be waiting

for you at the Evening News office

tomorrow 'til 1 o'clock.

Goodnight.

Wait...

...the name is Stevens.

Lawrence Stevens.

Just ask for Larry.

Larry!

Larry!

Larry!

Oh, it's you Pop.

You gave me a scare.

Don't tell me

you've been drinking alone?

What are you doing here so late?

Didn't I tell you time doesn't exist?

I was waiting for you, Larry.

For me?

I didn't say I was coming back.

I was just on my way home.

So am I

But I wanted to give you this first.

Well, it's the "Evening News"

I've read it.

Maybe not.

You better go home

and sleep it off Pop.

I never felt better in my life.

Goodnight, Larry.

Wait and I'll take you home

No thanks, my boy.

We go different ways.

Don't lose it.

Better hurry up, Mr Stevens.

Mrs Keever, today I start a new life.

Starting a little late

in the morning.

Well I overslept

I had wonderful dreams

Better take a coat;

it's a little chilly today.

Don't you think

Love might keep me warm.

You call this the month of May?

Last night fog,

cold this morning.

How goes it, Joe?

Not so good.

Still looking for a job.

Mind if I take a look at your paper?

I haven't got one.

Sure you have one

here in your coat.

"Evening News"

That's last night's paper.

I don't mind.

It's the want ads I'm after.

This aint last nights paper.

It's todays.

No, Joe. Todays "Evening News"

hasn't gone to press yet...

It must be last nights.

What day is today?

Wednesday

But this says Wednesday

Wednesday?

They must have made a mistake.

What day is today?

Wednesday, all day!

Snow?

It didn't snow yesterday did it?

No.

"Unseasonable snow fall

8 o'clock in the morning"

I didn't see any snow, did you?

How could I? There wasn't any.

Yes, it's Wednesday the whole day.

And what a day!

Snow in May.

"8 o'clock in the morning..."

What time is it?

Can't you see for yourself?

Here's something!

They need a waiter at Beacon & Fifth.

I guess I'll get right over there

Joe!

I tell you we don't need any waiters.

But this paper says...

We don't need any waiters.

Understand?

Then why waste peoples time

putting ads in the paper?

You've probably got the wrong address

Here it is. You say you didn't put

an ad in the paper for a waiter?

No we did not.

I tell you we don't need any waiters.

Get out of here

you butterfingers!

This is the last dishes
