The Unknown Man Page #2

How is the Dean?

Father is fine, thanks.

I think he'll call you. He will ask you

to make this year's commencement speech.

Oh no.

I'd be proud to. A great honor.

But you wouldn't do that to me, Dad.

I think I would. If the Dean

asked me, I might accept.

That's going to make a tough

afternoon even tougher.

Oh, you just don't know how he

suffers trying to live up to his father.

Dad had the same problem.

Only his father was a judge.

Mine is just a .. just a crummy lawyer.

Tell me just between the

two of us, how is he doing?

He won't concentrate.

He won't get through his

finals if he doesn't concentrate.

Well look at her Dad, I ask you.

Man to man.

Could you concentrate with this around?

Ah, man to man, I must

say I see what you mean.

Stella!

Coming.

How about giving us a lift to

the theater? Okay.

Stella!

Here I am.

Uhoh.

It looked perfectly wonderful

on the girl who modelled it.

Now, please say something nice.

It still looks wonderful.

Really, Brad?

I like it. Very much.

I like you very much.

So what do you think, Dad?

Could I have two months?

And then I could take in

Mexico and go up the coast.

Start right in after graduation, huh?

You understand how I feel.

All full of theories and stuff.

I'd like to .. I'd like to

polish up on life a bit ..

Before settling down in an office.

Well, maybe it's a good idea.

Not that life doesn't come

into the office occasionally.

And death too.

What was that?

Today, I was asked to

defend a murder case.

Which one?

The .. uh ..

The Wallchek boy.

What did you say?

No, of course.

Why not, Mr Masen? It might be fun.

I wonder why they came to you?

Oh, some baloney about

my passion for justice.

Well here we are, kids.

Thanks a lot.

You two be good now.

Bye.

Say .. how about those two?

When I went into the

study just now, they ..

Do you think it's serious?

I don't know, dear.

What were they doing?

She was cramming him

in accident liability.

Oh, then it is serious.

That's how I helped you, remember?

You did nothing of the sort.

Of course I did. It was all my doing

from the first moment I met you.

You hadn't a chance.

And I thought you were a nice girl.

You ought to get around more.

Oh well. Too late now.

"I was just getting together with

my second Old-Fashioned .."

"And wondering hopefully

how much longer until chow."

"When I say Layford go to meet them."

"Normally, I'm a cynic,

concerning the gentler sex."

"But there was something

about Mrs Masen."

"I don't know."

"Life had been sweet to her

all the way. You could tell."

"But somehow with her, you felt

good about it. Wished it would last."

"I still feel that way about Mrs Masen."
