Riptide Page #3

Tell me, why did I ever come back ?

We'll go to the Riviera tomorrow.

And you told me to close the Villa.

And I closed it.

Very well, then it stays closed.

We can go to the Carlton Hotel.

Now understand, tomorrow morning we start.

Oh, I've got a pain.

It's the lobster.

Not at all. It's not in my tummy, it's in my heart.

It's because you're so cruel to me, Bertie.

David !

Yes, Mary.

Is the captain on th bridge ?

Yes, he is.

What are the chances ?

Very slim, I'm afraid.

Did you put in a word for me.

My dear, I'm only a secretary.

I'm only a wife.

You know how he is when his mind's made up.

I've never known him

when his mind isn't made up.

Bad as all that ?

Not so bad but very stubborn.

Here goes for a good row.

Never known him to.

What ?

Row.

Here's one now.

Am I accompanying my husband

to America or am I not ?

Not, I'm sad to say.

Oh, darling.

Five years and we haven't been apart a week.

And now just because someone you work for says no women,

as though women were trunks or something...

Oh, darling, I can hurry, I can rush,

I'm not an old frump like Mrs. Parrish.

Really, you should have insisted.

I could scream.

Go on then, scream.

How's that ?

Oh, Mary, you are making me feel such a swine.

I don't mean to.

I know you can't take me.

I'd most likely be an awful nuisance.

No, no, it really isn't so tragic.

Aren't you glad I think it is ?

Oh, yes.

You know, sometimes I get the absurd idea

that you might think New York isn't

quite the place for me again.

You don't think that, do you ?

What on earth do you mean ?

Oh, you know.

No I don't, really.

Well, I'm glad.

'Cause I can't remember New York

without thinking of us, can you ?

You know what I mean ?

Yes.

I wasn't exactly your wife then, was I ?

Or don't you want to remember that ?

You're my wife now. Don't talk like that.

That doesn't have anything to do

with your aunt taking me, does it dear ?

Of course not.

I think I'll leave a card. They're probably busy.

How do you do, Lady Riversleigh ?

How do you do er...

Who are you ?

I'm Lord Rexford's secretary.

Oh, really, how nice.

This is my secretary, Bertie Davis.

What's your name ?

My name's David Fenwick.

Oh, is it.

How do you do ?

That's Philip's valet.

What a distinguished face he has.

And I'm talking to the servant.

I'm so confused.

I'm sure it's a bad day to call.

I think I'll leave a card.

No, please, I know they're both expecting you.

Oh, they changed the hall. Painted it white.

Looks like a railway station as it is.

It's Lady Riversleigh.

I'm counting out my cigarettes.

Bertie go to the car and get them there.

Aunt Hetty, how are you. I haven't seen you for years.
