Next Time We Love Page #3

Sobering up?

There's an idea,

a cold shower.

Right away, quick. Goodbye.

I'll see you later.

Goodbye.

And now we drink to... Let's

see, who do we drink to now?

There's nobody left.

Look, let's just drink.

I've got an idea. How about the

clerk in the marriage bureau?

Yes.

To the clerk.

Now, wait. Don't drink it all on

the clerk. I want to propose a toast.

Here's to Tommy.

May he be as good a friend of Chris

and Cicely as he is of just Chris.

That's a very nice toast, even

if it did get up your nose.

I guess I'm not used

to drinking champagne.

Oh, well, cold shower, champagne.

Champagne, cold shower. So it goes.

I'm so happy!

Oh, my darling!

I've got to call the office.

Oh, why bother? They get

newspapers out every day.

No, I'd better call them.

I'll be right back.

I wonder what it is they do to

newspapermen to make them work so hard?

Maybe they hypnotize them. They

don't have to do anything to Chris.

I know. He likes his work,

and I envy him.

I hope he never stops.

I think that's what makes him

such an exciting person.

I'm sorry. That's all

right. It's your wedding day.

Go ahead and talk about him.

There doesn't seem to be

much else on my mind

except my marriage and what

I've got to do not to spoil it.

Aren't you beginning to worry

a little early? It's only 2:00.

Oh, I'm in such a whirl,

I can't make sense.

What I mean is, well,

I've made a resolution.

I'm simply not going to be

a burden to Chris.

How do you propose

not to be a burden?

I'm going to have work

of my own to do.

You see, we both feel that

the trouble with most marriages

is that the women haven't

got anything to do.

They just hang on to the man and keep

them from doing the things they want to.

And you've figured all

that out since this morning?

No. We've done a lot of talking

about marriage. In theory, anyway.

Only now it's sneaked up on you. Yes.

Just what sort of work

do you want to do?

I'd like to go on the stage.

Can you act?

I did quite a lot in college.

Well, I know a lot of people in

the theater. Maybe I can help you.

That would be nice.

Uh-oh.

Bad news from the front.

Of all the dirty tricks!

What's the matter?

Somebody just murdered Dutch

Hoeffler. A friend of yours?

Yeah. No. No.

He's a gangster.

They want me to go over to Jersey

City right away and get the dope.

Well, didn't you tell them

you just got married?

Yes, I told them

and they told me

Dutch Hoeffler

just got murdered,

so what about it?

You see, I wrote the first story

on Dutch when he was first arrested.

Now it's all broken wide open.

I don't know what to do.

Of course you have to go,

darling.

It's not a very nice
