A Kiss Before Dying Page #4

What is it? What's wrong?

Darling?

It's my side, where I was wounded.

I get a twinge once in a while.

- I thought it was a heart attack!

- I'm fine now. Go back in class.

- Do you have them very often?

- Dory, the lecture's beginning.

- I want to stay here with you.

- You can't!

I mean, I got something important to do,

and I gotta do it right now.

- Now will you go back in class?

- I don't want to.

- Then go to the house.

- But, darling...

Dory, I can't stand here!

Last night, about 9.30. I gotta

get it back! It was mailed by mistake.

- I'd like to help, but it's too late.

- What do you mean?

It'll be delivered in an hour or so.

Hello?

- Dory? Me.

- Are you all right?

Yeah, fine, fine. Just fine.

- Are you ready?

- What, now?

Didn't I tell you?

There's no point in waiting.

Meet me at Congress, by the clock,

at 12.15. You can make it, can't you?

- All I have to do is change.

- Good.

I'd better bring something along

to prove I'm over 18.

- Dory, it's still our secret, isn't it?

- Of course.

Remember now. 12.15 sharp, OK?

OK.

Hello, husband.

I'm sorry I'm so late.

After you.

- Wait for me!

- Nervous bridegroom.

Now, how dumb can you get?!

I should have called first. 20 minutes yet.

- Let's go have a Coke.

- Why don't we go up to the roof?

I bet we can see for miles.

Last chance to see the world

as a single woman. Let's walk.

All right.

- It's beautiful.

- Mm-hm.

- Look at that sky.

- Mm, it's so bright.

Honey, look. The campus.

Look! You can almost see the house.

Boy, are those girls gonna be surprised.

They don't even know I'm going with you.

I feel so good, I can't tell you.

- You gonna write your sister or phone?

- Phone.

Who can wait for letters?

- You'll like Ellen, you'll see.

- I'm sure I will.

Darling... you're not sorry about

the way things turned out, are you?

Of course not.

You know, I lied to you.

- You know those pills you gave me?

- Mm-hm.

- I didn't take them.

- Why not?

I'm so ashamed,

I don't know how to say it.

It's just that, well,

I knew how you felt about the baby.

At first, anyway.

I was afraid you might wanna...

Oh, it doesn't matter.

Anyway, I'm very ashamed.

But I'm glad I told you.

It's no way to start a marriage, with deceit.

I forgive you.

Don't look down.

You might get dizzy.

You're really very sweet.

No fooling. The sweetest,

gentlest person I've ever known.

- You're prejudiced.

- No. It's true.

I love you.

I really do.

I believe you.

The thing is, you'll never

really know how I love you.

I mean, no one can really understand

the way the other loves.

I don't believe that.

It's true, Dory.

It really is.

"Darling, I hope you will forgive me
