A Kiss Before Dying

Crying isn't going to help.

I just can't help it.

Aw, Dory...

I've known about it for days.

I didn't want to say anything

until I was sure, but I've known.

No mistake possible?

No.

How far?

Two months almost.

You, uh... You didn't give the doctor

your right name, did you?

No.

He knew I was lying.

It was awful.

You shouldn't have gone alone.

I should have gone with you.

What are we gonna do?

Well...

I know you want me to say

we'll get married right away but...

Don't want to get out of it, do you?

Don't even think that.

I love you.

Oh, I love you.

I want to marry you, more than

anything else in the world, only your...

- He doesn't matter.

- He's your father. He does.

What he thinks is important.

All I know is we don't have any choice.

Look, honey...

I know this is a shock,

but it isn't the end of the world.

Sure, it's a problem,

but a thing like this can change, Dory.

- No.

- There's always a chance. You know that.

I suppose so.

Dory...

Come on. Come on.

That's better.

Come on, honey. We'd better go.

My mother will be home soon.

- OK?

- OK.

Hm?

I don't feel good.

- I can't even eat.

- Well, that's natural.

I know, but the girls in the sorority house

are gonna start asking questions.

Well, I know what we can do

about that, Dory.

A friend of mine - Hermy Gosset.

Remember him?

One of his cousins owns a pharmacy.

Hermy works there nights.

Maybe he'd give me something

to make you feel better.

- You won't say anything, will you?

- No, of course not.

Oh, Dory...

Come on, will ya stop worrying?

Everything's going to be all right.

OK.

Come on, honey. We'd better go.

Be careful you don't

leave anything around.

- It's not right.

- What?

For anyone to love somebody

as much as I love you.

That makes us even.

Then we haven't got anything

to worry about. Haven't you heard?

Love conquers all.

- Hello, son.

- Hi, Mother.

- Had your dinner?

- No. I'm not hungry.

- There's a sandwich in the kitchen.

- I don't feel like anything.

- You've gotta eat something.

- Why?

- Aren't you feeling well?

- Mother, will ya, please?

There's something wrong.

You can't fool me. I know you too well.

Mother, please! Will ya?

It's just that I have to get something

special ready for a speech tomorrow.

I haven't much time to do it in.

- You work too hard. Play more.

- I haven't any time.

A person's gotta relax sometime.

Look, Mother, I'm 25 years old.

Where am I? No place.

I don't wanna wind up like Dad,

with holes in my shoes.

You're not like him. Not at all.

You'll see.

Anything you decide to do, you'll do it.

- I know.

- Sure, I'm a genius.

I think so.

- Hi.

- Hi.

Any change?

Nope.

Well, I think we ought to decide

and set a date.

You're not mad, are you?

No. Of course not.

Don't be so unhappy about it.

I know it's not the way we planned

but... it'll be all right.

Sure. It'll be great.

- I'll quit school, get a job.

- No! No, you won't have to.

You'll get more money from the

government because you have a wife.

$105 a month.

Well, other people get along.

Soda jerk. How does that sound?

I had such plans.

Everybody expected so much of me.

It's all my fault.

It's always the girl's fault.

Maybe there is a way.

We could call your father...

No!

But we could appeal to him,

tell him we did a terrible thing.

It won't do any good!

I know him.

I know the way he feels about me.

- But, Dory, all we have to...

- No!

We'll get along.

- Prove to him that we don't need him.

- I'm only...

I don't even want him!

Look, for the first time in my life

I feel like me.
