You Only Live Once Page #3

about frogs?

I thought everybody knew that.

I guess they see something in each

other that no one else can see.

Maybe.

Eddie, what made you

fall in love with me?

Me with you?

What made you

go for a mug like me?

When I fell in love at the dance,

I didn't know you were a mug.

I told you I was a phoney

and a bad guy to get stuck on.

I didn't believe you until you asked

Stephen to defend you for robbery.

I'll never forget how you slapped

my face and ran out crying.

I hated you so much, I cried

for 3 days and 3 nights.

Why did you come to the prison

to see me?

To tell you how much

I hated you.

Only I got mixed up and told you

how much I loved you.

Are you still mixed up?

What do you think?

You're one in a million.

- Careful, Ethan, he may be dangerous.

- I ain't afraid of that.

When I'm around, I'm...

I'm around.

No jailbird is going to spend

the night in Valley Tavern.

- Well, if you're gonna do it, do it.

- Hold your shirt on, I'll do it.

We better wait until morning.

Yes?

Well, Mr. Taylor...

my wife wants to tell you something.

Go ahead, Esther.

Tell him yourself.

Well, Mr. Taylor...

you see, this room

was reserved...

some folks from Battleboro.

Convicts and their wives

ain't welcome in this tavern.

So we're asking you, in a nice way,

to leave at once.

Okay.

- Good night.

- Good night.

Did you hear what they said?

Darling, you promised you wouldn't

let things like this bother you.

I'm thinking of you.

I told you something

like this would happen.

What do we care about these people?

What do we care about anybody...?

Yes?

Yes, we're leaving

just as soon as we're packed.

And to think I spent 3 long years

looking for this place.

- Has 37 reported in yet?

- No.

How can I keep up a schedule if you

can't keep track of the drivers?

Don't pick on me for that jailbird

being late. I didn't hire him.

Never mind that.

Check the gas station. Get him.

I think it's the swellest place

I've ever seen.

It's a dump.

It's not. It's terrific.

Anyway, no one can throw us out

at four o'clock in the morning.

You've come a long way,

I knew you would.

You're the only one who did.

What about Stephen, the people

you work for, and Father Dolan?

They don't count, what they did

was because of you.

Ajax gave me a job because

of Whitney. Father Dolan...

He's for everybody.

Let's be practical,

what about it?

It's a big responsibility.

I'm not going to be

a truck driver all my life.

Besides, this home owner racket

lets you pay off for nothing a week.

In 20 years, it's yours.

Look.

Here's a receipt for

the deposit I made.

Do I give them the rest

or don't I?

Of course you do.

It's a swell place
