You Gotta Stay Happy Page #2

Henry. Henry...

Yes?

Do you think we should...

Should what?

Go up now?

Of course.

Twenty-three, please.

Henry, couldn't

we go to the movies

or a night club or...

Really, my dear,

it's quite late.

Well, I was thinking

we'd be in time for

the last show at the Copa.

We could dispense

with a show tonight.

But I'd rather...

Will you come along?

We'll talk about it inside.

Henry, I...

Hey! Wait a minute.

The young lady

doesn't seem to want

to go with you.

I beg your pardon?

Now, look, you're not

supposed to drag girls

into hotel rooms.

Not if they don't want

to be dragged, that is.

Will you please

go away?

No, I don't

think I will.

Very well.

If you insist...

(THUDDING)

Oh, I'm sorry.

I didn't mean for

anyone to get hurt.

Come along.

Isn't this nice?

Look at that view.

Marvelous!

Oh, thank you

very much.

Will that be all, sir?

Yes, thank you. Thank you.

Thank you. Good night, sir.

Good night. Good night.

Good night!

Well, what's wrong, Diana?

Is something troubling you?

No, I guess I'm just

a little nervous,

that's all.

Of course.

I'm afraid I'm a little

nervous myself.

I apologize for that

little incident out there.

Regrettable.

But we'll both feel better

after we've had a drink

and relaxed.

Now, wouldn't you like

to change and freshen up?

And I'll order

some supper.

(CLEARS THROAT)

Room service, please.

Ready, Diana?

Not quite.

HENRY:
Supper's ready

and I'm opening the wine.

All right.

(CORK POPS)

(MUSIC PLAYS LOUDLY)

(SOFT MUSIC PLAYING)

Better hurry.

I'll be right out.

If you need any help

with any buttons or things,

I'll be glad to oblige.

No, I'm coming right out.

I was just looking

for my perfume.

(SIGHS)

Well...

(SNIFFS)

Smells wonderful.

Here we are.

I think a toast

is in order.

To us and to our future.

Together forever!

(CLEARS THROAT)

I can't, Henry.

I can't drink to that!

And I can't stay here

any longer.

What?

There's no use

talking about it

or pretending anymore.

What are you talking

about, Diana?

I've tried, really, I have.

And our marriage

hasn't worked out.

Our marriage hasn't

worked out? We've only

been married a few hours.

I think you should

see a psychiatrist.

I have.

What did he say?

He said I was unstable,

and insecure,

and indecisive and...

And what?

And he said

I ought to marry you.

There you are.

Now, Diana...

No, Henry, I shouldn't

have listened to him

or to Uncle Ralph.

I shouldn't have let

anyone talk me into this.

Let's look at this thing

calmly, Diana.

We'll sit down, relax,

have a glass of wine,

and you'll see

how silly you're being.

No, I won't! I don't care

what anyone says.

I know it isn't right
