Turn the Key Softly Page #2

You're a very attractive girl.

I'd like to take you out to dinner some evening.

This evening. Dinner and a show, hm?

Get on, Archie!

You know the Belvedere on Whiteman Street.

Come right into the bar, you'll find me there.

You may be there. I shan't.

Oh, yes you will.

It's a date then. Six o'clock at the Belvedere.

Oh, I almost forgot.

The name's Jenkins. You can call me George.

Thank you.

What's your name?

Stella.

Stella?

Oh, I ought to have guessed it.

Suits you right down to the ground.

Good!

I was afraid I'd have to push off to the office

before you got here.

Well, let's have a look at you.

Not as bad as I expected.

Was it awful?

Don't let's talk about it.

It's over and finished. Done with.

Can't believe it yet, but I'm free.

I'm hungry, too.

I saved you an egg and some bacon.

Don't be too good to me. I'm not used to it.

I'm afraid you'll have to get your own breakfast.

I've got to fly.

Anything you want me to get you?

Shall we meet for lunch?

No, thanks. I'm going out job-hunting.

Okay.

Borrow anything of mine you need.

By the way, are you all right for money?

Stop mothering me. You'll make me cry in a minute.

I can manage if you'll let me stay

for a week or two.

Of course. As long as you like.

Any messages for me?

No.

Forget him, Monica.

I don't want to interfere, you know that.

But remember you're still young.

There are plenty of decent men in the world.

You never knew what really happened,

did you?

When I first met David I thought

he was perfectly honest.

By the time I discovered he wasn't

I was too much in love with him.

I begged him to go straight.

One night he persuaded me to go

on a job with him.

We were discovered. He ran away and left me.

I was caught.

What a fool I was.

You warned me often enough.

Well, nobody listens to anything when they're in love.

Kettle's on. Everything is ready.

I must go.

See you tonight.

Don't worry if I'm a bit late.

I may be a little bit late myself.

You're not going to look for...

That's all right.

I'm having dinner with an old lady.

Why not join us?

Sorry. Too much work to do.

Well, have a good time.

Oh, cigarettes on the table.

All for you.

Bob, look at it, look at it!

What's so special about Trafalgar Square?

Good old Nelson.

What are you going to do?

Give him a wash and a brush up?

Of course it isn't Piccadilly.

No. Come on.

Sure you don't want anything else?

No, thanks.

Bob, when do we get married?

Next Wednesday suit you?

Oh, any time you like.

You see, next Wednesday I can get the day off.

The question is where you're going

to stay until then.

Oh, but I thought...

Look, I want you to get a room on your own.

But not up here, mind.
