MIXING THEM, TOO.

IN DRINKING.

WELL, I'M SORRY I CANNO STAY FOR YOUR PARTY,

SO I'LL SAY GOODBYE.

AND A VERY PLEASANT TRIP

TO BOTH OF YOU.

ONE OF YOUR GOODBYES.

MY WIFE:

BEFORE HE GETS TOO TIGHT.

WELL, GOODBYE.

FORGIVE ME:

FOR DOUBTING YOU.

CERTAINLY.

DO YOU LOVE ME?

OF COURSE I DO.

BUT, DARLING,

WE HAVEN'T MUCH TIME.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN? YOU

HAVE THE REST OF YOUR LIFE.

BUT, PAUL...

OH, COME.

PLEASE, SIT DOWN.

I LEARNED SOMETHING TONIGHT.

I LEARNED:

HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU.

YOU TOLD ME THA A YEAR AGO,

AND YOU LET ME GO.

YOU LET ME MARRY HIM.

YOU NEVER EVEN PHONED.

IF YOU'D ASKED ME

TO FORGIVE YOU-

I DIDN'T KNOW THEN

THAT LOVE WAS MORE

THAN A GOOD SCENE.

I DIDN'T KNOW

IT WAS SOMETHING THAT...

THAT WOULD TEAR:

AT YOUR HEART...

AND BURN THROUGH

THE GREASEPAINT.

YOU FEEL THAT WAY?

I DO.

MY DARLING...

I KNOW WHA YOU'VE BEEN DOING.

YOU HAVE BEEN TELLING

ME LIES AND HIM LIES.

I KNOW. I'VE DONE I MYSELF TOO OFTEN.

BUT THAT IS OVER...

FOR BOTH OF US.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

YOU'RE COMING ALONG

WITH ME. TOMORROW.

BRAZIL.

YOU CAN WIRE HIM.

WE'LL STAY THERE UNTIL

HE GIVES YOU A DIVORCE.

AND THEN...

THEN WE'LL GET MARRIED.

MARRIED?

YOU?

YES, ME.

I NEED YOU.

I REALIZED THAT TODAY.

I NEED YOU, AND

I'VE GOT TO PAY FOR YOU.

YOU FRIGHTEN ME.

BUT YOU...

YOU LOVE ME ENOUGH?

OH, YES, DARLING.

I'LL CALL YOU

IN THE MORNING,

RIGHT AFTER:

HE LEAVES.

BUT...

IF YOU LOVE ME SO MUCH,

WHY WERE YOU SO FRIGHTENED

IN THE HOUSE?

HE'S VERY CURIOUS

WHEN HE'S DRINKING.

I DIDN'T WANT ANYTHING

TO HAPPEN TO YOU.

WHY?

I COULDN' STAND THAT.

I COULDN'T LIVE

WITHOUT YOU.

I COULDN'T-

MURRAY HILL 7564,

STUPIDLY.

BLINDLY-

HELLO, OLIVER?

YES, IT'S ME.

PAY ATTENTION, PLEASE,

AND NO ARGUMENTS.

I WANT YOU:

TO CLOSE THE PLAY.

I SAID CLOSE THE PLAY.

DARLING, YOU'RE WORTH

A THOUSAND HITS.

I HOPE.
