Not Wanted Page #2

Synopsis: Twentyish Sally Kelton is unhappy at home and in the drab town in which she lives, until she meets roving musician Steve Ryan. Sally falls for Steve, but to Steve, she's just another fling before he heads to another town. Sally decides to "pull up stakes" and heads on a bus to Steve's next stop. On the road, she meets Drew Baxter, owner of a gaseteria in the town where she's heading. Drew sets Sally up with a room at a local boarding house and a job at his business. Try as he might, Drew can't win Sally's heart from Steve, who has remained indifferent to Sally since her arrival. When Steve heads off to South America, Sally is even more despondent--especially after she learns that she's pregnant with his child.

a while and get a nice rest?

I say, why don't you stay home once

in a while and get some sleep?

I get plenty of sleep, ma.

I feel fine.

Yes. You feel fine now

because you're young.

In about five years ..

...you'll suddenly fall flat on your face

one day. And don't say I didn't tell you.

Are you listening to me?

Yes ma. But I've got to get dressed.

Sally.

Could you take those

plates a minute.

Pull that dress up!

Oh, ma, don't be silly.

I was only trying it.

Pull it up, and keep it up!

It's disgusting.

I'm not going to have you

running around half dressed!

I haven't hurt anything.

What are you thinking about?

That you'll be on a train

in a couple of hours.

And I'll miss you.

Miss me over here.

Capital City sounds so far away.

Will you be there long?

I don't know.

Depends on how I feel.

I guess I always have

to keep on the go.

Someday I'll get some place.

Where can I write you?

Twenty-three Wardlands Street.

A friend of mine found a

room for me.

If you're ever there, look me up.

Will you miss me too, Steve?

Sure I'll miss you.

Alright young lady, let's have

a little talk, shall we?

This your car?

No sir.

Well, whose is it?

My girlfriend's.

Her brother's, that is...

Oh I see. Did you ever

have a ticket?

No.

Where do you live?

A couple of blocks from here.

License?

I left it at home.

What's your name?

Sally Kelton.

No license ..

Driving fifty miles an hour ..

...that's pretty good.

Your folks let you do this often?

Oh no... they don't even know

about this.

Please officer.

If you'll just let me go this time, I

promise I'll never do it again.

Tell you what I'm going to do.

I'm going to personally deliver you home

and give you all a piece of my mind.

Now, go ahead.

Alright Mrs. Kelton.

I hold you and your husband responsible ..

...for her behaviour from now on.

But if it ever happens again

I'm going to book her.

You watch your step.

Well, go on!

Say it!

Say it!!

Stop it, Sally.

Don't Harry. Leave her alone.

It'll keep until later.

Let's go back to bed and try

to get an hour's sleep.

Here. Stick this under your back.

Go on...

Thanks.

It's okay.

I hope it doesn't smell

too "gamey".

I, uh been on a fishing trip.

I caught a couple of real beauties.

I've got them up there

in the bag.

Oh, it just smells fine, thanks.

By the way, the name is

Drew Baxter.

What's yours?

Mine's Sally Kelton.

Sally Kelton? Nice name.

Where you going?

Im going to Capital City.

Same here. That's my home town.

Gee, I hate to bother you but ..

It's a pleasure.

Well.

I was wondering.

Do you happen to know of ..

...of a room I can get in Capital City

that isn't too expensive?
