You Only Live Once Page #4

for kids.

What are you laughing about?

Nothing.

There's your bus.

See you Saturday.

Yes, darling.

Light, 5 dollars.

Water, 3 dollars.

Gas...

Taylor, call your office.

Fill her up.

Truck 37 reporting.

Yes, Mr. Williams.

Taylor, you're an hour

and 35 minutes late.

I know, Mr. Williams,

I'm sorry, but...

I don't want to listen to lies about

running out of gas or blowing a tyre.

Wait, Mr. Williams. Don't accuse me

until you hear what I have to say.

I don't want to hear what you've got

to say. You're fired.

Fired?

You can't fire me just like this.

You can't.

I can't?

Listen, jailbird, leave that truck

there and don't take anything...

or I'll put you back in the pen

where you belong.

No ex-con is gonna

jazz up a schedule for me.

You're fired, finished, canned.

Get it?

Yeah, I get it.

Ex-con.

Okay, I'll get another job.

Let the guy who's gonna drive

sign for it. I got fired.

What am I gonna do with this truck?

That's your worry,

not mine.

Taylor.

Some dame's calling you,

long distance.

I'll be over at Tony's.

Hello?

Gee, I'm glad you called.

What?

You're phoning from the new house?

I moved in this morning.

He's so surprised,

he can hardly talk.

If only he'd stay that way...

Eddie? Eddie?

I can't hear you.

I'm just excited that you've

moved in already, that's all.

He's tickled pink.

He'll be hysterical when he finds out

I'm not going to live here with you.

What's that? What?

The real estate man?

Don't worry. He said it was

alright for me to move in.

As long as you give him the rest

by next week. You can make it?

The payment?

Sure, I wasn't even

thinking about it.

The housewarming?

Sure.

Sure we'll have one.

I can't wait to see the place.

Don't you dare show up before

Saturday, I'll have everything fixed.

Don't forget to tell him

the sink leaks.

Eddie, Bonnie says

the sink leaks.

We'll go into that later. This long

distance stuff costs plenty.

Sure I'm happy.

Don't worry.

It's in the bag.

Goodbye, babe,

I'll see you Saturday.

I know I was wrong,

Mr. Williams, and I'm sorry.

Please give me another chance.

You don't realise what it means

if you don't give me my job back.

Hello?

Yes, May.

Yes, I'll be home for dinner.

Sorry, I can't do

anything for you.

Why don't you invite the Murphys?

We'll play a little poker.

Okay.

It's no use, Taylor.

You've got to help me, Mr. Williams.

My wife's moved in already.

I can't let her down,

she believes in me.

I've tried to get a job

everyplace.

The only people who'll give me one

are my old gang.

Easy money too, Mr. Williams.

Bank jobs that are foolproof.

But I turned them down,

I'm trying to go straight.
