Together Again Page #2

-lt isn`t becoming, either.

-You never will be serious.

I have never been more serious in my life!

It hurts my soul to see

a beautiful dish like you

wasted on a neurotic stepchild,

a hunk of a statue

and a fusty community like Brookhaven.

-My soul, it hurts!

-Why, darling.

All right, all right, all right.

Has it ever occurred to you that l

like my life? Because I do, you know.

-Why?

-lt`s neat.

-lt`s practically antiseptic.

-lt`s busy...

Full of storm drains and taxes.

-lt`s comfortable.

-You`re too young to be comfortable.

And I have you,

you miserable old reprobate.

I can think of a couple of things

you haven`t got.

-What?

-Well, you`re a widow.

-Yes.

-And...

Don`t be so darn difficult!

-You know, darling, you amuse me.

-Amuse you?

Yes. You can`t bear to see a woman

living alone and liking it.

No man can. Instinctively, it terrifies them.

You`re a vanishing race and you know it,

and the minute you lose your hold

over us emotionally, wow!

So, naturally, your platform must be,

``Husbands are necessary.``

And they`re not, really.

That`s the most outrageous...

So stop bothering your nice old head

about me, because l`m not frustrated,

I`m not to be pitied,

I am not anything but perfectly happy.

Anne Crandall, you`re a liar.

I don`t think you know it, mind you,

but you`re a liar.

You talk like a free soul,

but you`re the most manacled creature

-I have ever seen.

-Mercy, look at that rain.

Everything you do, everything you say,

everything you breathe

is the way Jonathan did it,

said it and breathed it.

Why don`t you stop living his life

and live your own?

If I know Jonathan,

he is as irritated with you as I am.

I`ll bet he`s bored to death

with the hero-worshipping show

he has to put up with.

When you hear from him to that effect,

you`ll let me know, won`t you?

-Well...

-And until then, you just shut up.

See?

-Good morning, Lillian.

-Good morning, Your Honor.

I`m terribly sorry

about what happened last night.

Did you see the paper?

Mort really had a field day for himself.

Yes, I can believe that.

He claims it was a special act of providence

to end the Crandall dynasty.

Mr. Buchanan has quite an imagination.

I`m marrying somebody this morning,

am I not?

Yes, Your Honor, the Potter kid and his girl.

-Did Diana take it awfully hard?

-Yes, she did.

-What a question.

-ls there anything else?

Mr. Witherspoon is waiting inside.

He has some sanitation problems.

I`ll sanitation problem him.

I`ve had 18 complaints

from the Southside in the past week.

Just because...

Just because people are poor,

Mr. Witherspoon,

they don`t want to live

with a lot of old potato peelings.
