Red-Headed Woman Page #2

Bill?

This is our last dance.

That's right.

You have the reddest hair I've ever seen.

It's funny Bill doesn't answer.

He's probably out

losing his shirt at poker.

-You do think of the cutest things.

-I know Bill.

I haven't been his old Aunt Jane

all these years for nothing.

Try it again, operator.

One-ten, please.

-All right. Thank you.

-Oh, come along, come along, Irene.

You know, we have to hunt up

a place to sleep tonight.

Say, it's such a lovely night.

Let's drive right through, huh?

Don't be ridiculous.

Bill will keep until tomorrow.

-Come on. It'll be fun to surprise him.

-Yes, it will.

Husbands just love being surprised.

Here, wait a minute.

I haven't got my change yet.

You know, I surprised your uncle once.

Ancl it gave me enough material

to blackmail him for ten years.

Aunt Jane, don't be so cynical.

It's very depressing at this hour

of the night.

Can you stay awake

long enough to drive home?

I can drive this thing in my sleep, dear.

I'll send for my big bag tomorrow.

-All right. Goodnight, dear.

-Goodnight, darling. It was a grand trip.

Rene, is there any...?

In---

I wish you'd try

to understand this. Will you?

I might have understood

if it hadn't been a girl like that.

Well, that's just it.

Sometimes...

Sometimes it is a girl like that, that...

How long have you known her?

Oh, a few weeks.

She's been around the office,

getting in my way.

-I ought to have known better.

-it's been going on then for weeks?

No, it began tonight...

...and it'll end tonight. I swear it.

Don't you believe me?

I don't know what to believe.

We've been sweethearts so long...

...been such pals.

Now it's all over.

It's not all over, darling.

Oh, don't let this thing

smash up our lives.

I love you just as I always have,

as I always will.

There'll never be anybody but you.

-Never.

-Please don't, Bill.

Rene, you're not going to leave me.

Oh, please stand by me, darling.

I'll never bring you

another moment's unhappiness.

I'll never see that girl again.

Let's not talk about it anymore.

Not tonight.

-But, Rene.

-Please.

There we were, like an uncensored movie,

when in Waltzes Mrs. William Legendre, Jr...

...and catches us,

right in the old family parlor.

Oh, you dirty little home-wrecker. Well,

what do you think that's gonna get you?

Listen, Sally, I made up

my mind a long time ago.

I'm not gonna spend my life

on the wrong side of the rail road tracks.

I hope you don't get hit by a train

while you're crossing over.

A girl's a fool that doesn't get ahead.

Say, it's just as easy to hook a rich man

as it is to get hooked by a poor one.

Oh, so that's what you're gonna do?

That's it. I'm gonna amount
