Love Before Breakfast Page #2

---

Wave good-bye, babies.

Wave good-bye.

Bye!

Bye, honey.

Take care of yourself.

Good-bye.

Bye.

Say, when you cry, you don't

fool around, do you? You give.

Don't I? Oh! Give me a hanky

quick. I got mascara in my eye.

Oh. Oh, I can't stand good-byes.

I can't even bear to

see anybody off at the subway.

You never do that for me.

I'm afraid I ruined your hanky.

I'll have it framed.

How's it now?

Oh. My eye's all right, but I still

have an awful lump in my throat.

How'd you like to wash it down with some nice hot

coffee? Coffee. It's practically an inspiration.

Swell. We'll stop by Dubin's.

All right.

Coffee, black and strong.

Make it two.

Yes, sir. Anything else?

No.

I'll have the special sandwich.

Just the turkey and ham

without the magoo. Yes, sir.

Come on, now. Do your grieving on your own

time. You know, the countess is gone too.

I think she's very charming, Scott.

I admire your taste. Thank you.

Except for those stupid little pekes she drapes herself

with. Incidentally, what's happened to the count? Where is he?

Where are the snows of yesteryear?

Where the woodbine twineth.

That's where the count is.

Kay, have you really got it as bad as

you think you have? I don't think so.

What does a lady do when she wishes

to change the subject abruptly?

Give me a cigarette.

What does a gentleman do when he wants to find

out if he has a chance, now that your Bill is gone?

You never give up, do you? You know me.

Miller of the Northwest Royal Mounted.

It's a funny world, isn't it?

What's funny about it?

Well, the countess wants to marry me.

You're afraid?

You want to marry Bill,

and I want to marry you.

Quite a problem, isn't it?

Yes. Isn't it?

You know, I had quite some difficulty

getting the countess off to Honolulu.

Oh, she isn't going toJapan?

I thought Honolulu

was far enough for her.

But my, uh, real problem was Bill.

Bill?

Yes. You see, I just couldn't walk up and convince Bill that

he was getting circles under his eyes and needed a vacation.

So when I found out he was working for Amalgamated Oil, I

- Wait a minute.

Are you trying to tell me you had

something to do with sending Bill toJapan?

Oh, buying Amalgamated wasn't a bad investment. It's a

nice little company. I've had my eye on it for some time.

Are you serious?

You bought an oil company just to-

Well, I had to get rid of him somehow.

He had me stymied.

So you sent him away just to

have a clear field. Is that it?

Mm-hmm.

Isn't that marvelous?

You're loaded with money, so you think you

can push buttons and move heaven and earth.

I wouldn't put it as crudely as that. You're the most

contemptible, egotistical person I've ever met in my life.
