Ten North Frederick Page #2

---

A pair of fine children.

I'm sorry Joby can't be with us tonight.

But he couldn't get away

from school.

And I have... Edith.

Well, I don't know about

you old crocks..

...but I'm going to dance with

a beautiful young lady.

I guess I have the right.

Because I have been paying her

bills for quite a few years.

Come on, Ann.

Let's show them something.

May I have the pleasure

Mrs. Chapin?

I don't feel like dancing.

Thank you.

Oh, come on.

People are looking at us.

If you didn't want to be see with

me, you shouldn't have invited me.

My husband invited you.

Because I'm the district attorney

and couldn't be left out?

Exactly!

Here I was, thinking..

...I'd made the social grade

at last.

Hi Joe!

Ann, would you honor you

old Uncle Arthur?

You're making me very

happy Edith.

You promised never to annoy me.

And I think you're drunk.

Drunk... but discreet.

After all. I've kept our little

secret for fifteen years.

A gentleman would have

forgotten it.

But, I'm not a gent.

Aspirin.

These days champagne

doesn't exhilarate..

...it just gives me a headache.

Scotch. And Saratoga veggi.

No ice.

Joe.

You ought to take a good

look at yourself.

In what way?

You're fifty years old today.

We haven't too much time left.

You and I.

Time for what?

Coming...

Have you got a girlfriend?

Nope.

You ought to come to New York

with me sometime.

And I'll fix you up with a

little group I know.

You will?

Uhuh.

They're not kids. But who

wants kids?

New York's overrun..

...with the fanciest, good-looking

dames in the world.

And there isn't a thing

they don't know.

When did you get time to

make all your millions?

Listen. I'm downtown at ten o'clock

just after the bell rings.

Some guys go to a gym.

I take a dame to a nightclub.

The same effect.

Tell me something.

Have you ever been out

with another woman..

...since you married Edith?

Or are you too much of a

gentleman to answer that?

I'll answer it. And the

answer is "no".

You poor miserable jerk!

You've never got anything

out of life..

...and boy, you wouldn't know

how to start now.

Paul, if you really got anything

out of your kind of life...

...you wouldn't brag about

it so much.

After you, Don Juan.

Joby!

Hello Joby.

Father, mother... Anna Banana.

What are you doing here?

I've been fired.

Fired?

Ann. Turn off that radio.

Fired.

You know:
expelled.

Given the old heave-ho.

What for?

Well, the specific crime was "smoking".

But I think there's a lot more.

Old Potty's writing you a letter.

Ann. Go to bed.

I said, go to bed.

Yes, mother. See you later.

Stop that!

I'll call doctor Potts in

the morning. Maybe...

Take my tip and save your 15 cents.
