Scene starts at the bottom of the page.

- Who am I?

- George.

George.

- "Knock, knock, knock. "

- I'll get it.

Oh, George, you're late.

You know the Camdens, don't you?

- And this is...

- oh, yes...

That's a broken speech.

You'll have to come in quick.

- And this is...

- oh, yes, we've met.

How are you?

May I speak to you in the library, Chris?

Crosses to library.

Ooh.

That's a long one.

Better make a note.

I need a line to cover that cross.

In, closes door...

...leans against it.

Darling Chris, is there anything I can do?

Anything you need?

I don't need anything or anybody.

If you're worried about me, don't be.

I'm not afraid of being alone.

I'll never be lonely.

I'll... oh.

Oh, it's that long speech.

I never can remember it.

Anne, I'm sorry, it has to have more work.

I can't do any more tonight.

Okay. I'll type up the changes

and have it ready in the morning.

- It's a nice scene.

- Mm-hm. It will be when I learn it.

- Good night.

- Night.

Hmm.

What would I be thinking

on that long cross?

Hm.

George, you're late.

Library.

I know what you're gonna say.

Henry and I, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.

And George says,

"Do you need anything?"

No, I don't need anything or anybody.

And George says, "But I'm worried. "

And I say,

if you're worried about me, don't be.

I'm not afraid of being alone.

I'll never be lonely.

I'm tough, George.

That's why I'll never be lonely.

Look who's talking.

I'll never...

Be lone...

Okay, kids, come on,

take your places, will you?

Now, you two girls go to the inside

and boys go to the outside during this step.

One, two. Ready, and:

One, two. That's it.

Okay, the same thing on this side.

Ready and:
One, two. That's it.

Okay, can you keep your places, please?

Now, you two girls with Fallon

at the front doing this:

Ready, and:

Again, and:

Right.

Okay, you can go sit up front.

Hold down the talking.

Remember, no smoking.

- Any word yet?

- No.

Miss Stewart's residence.

No, I'm sorry, she isn't.

- She left here about an hour ago.

Morning, darling.

I have no idea where. You're welcome.

- The theater again.

- Oh.

- You took long enough.

- I didn't even stop for breakfast.

So you know where the gin is.

Look at this. All hips.

And this.

Who could move in it? This is okay.

Where'd you go last night?

Well, since you wouldn't go out with me,

I went to bed early.

That isn't the way I heard it.

Some belle from White Plains, wasn't it?

Oh, yes. I did go out for a few minutes.

I know.

To mail a letter at El Morocco.

She's just a child.

I did it as a favor.

To get her name in print so she could dazzle

Ha!

If they printed what really happened,
