A Place in the Sun Page #4

The party just broke up

a few minutes ago.

I'm sorry, honey.

I couldn't get away for three hours.

Four hours. You must have paid him

an awful lot of respects.

He's really gonna do things for me.

He said, "I got my eye on you."

I think he really means it, too.

That's fine.

But you could have phoned me.

- Yeah, I know, I could have phoned.

- Never mind.

Your present's waiting for you

on your plate.

- Happy birthday.

- Thanks.

Hey, that's wonderful! I can sure

use that on my new job, huh?

Were there many young people

there tonight?

- A few. Why?

- Oh, it's melted.

Was your cousin Marcia there?

All those pretty girls in the papers?

Some of them were, yes.

They're not all pretty.

- Was Angela Vickers?

- What?

Pretty. Did you like her very much?

I liked her some.

Sure, she's a pretty girl.

- She wears nice clothes.

- Why shouldn't she, with that money?

Why do you keep needling me?

I can't help it.

Why couldn't you tell them

you had an appointment?

You know I can't tell them about you.

You understand the fix we're in.

Yeah, I know.

If my family ever found out about us,

we'd both be out of a job.

George, maybe you don't want to see

me so much any more. Is that it?

Maybe you don't want

to see me at all.

- Now you're head of the department.

- You know I didn't say that.

Honey, don't cry.

Look, you dance just as pretty

as anybody. You look just as pretty.

Stop crying, will you?

George, it's awful.

I can't tell you.

- What is it?

- I'm so afraid.

Honey, what's the matter?

George...we're in trouble.

Real trouble, I think.

How do you mean?

Remember the first night

you came here?

I'm so worried.

Hello, Al. It's me. How do you feel?

Just the same, huh?

No, I haven't found the name

of any doctor yet.

Yes, don't you worry. Everything's

gonna turn out all right.

Yeah.

Yeah, first thing.

Good night.

Hello?

Speaking.

Who?

Oh, hello!

Yes, of course I remember you. I just

didn't recognise your voice at first.

Friday night? Yeah.

I think I can.

No, I'd like to. Yes.

Where?

All right. I'll meet you there.

Yeah. Goodbye, Miss Vickers.

Huh?

Goodbye, Angela.

- A penny.

- For what?

For your thoughts.

Highest prices paid.

I was wondering

why you invited me tonight.

Because of my reasons.

Good evening, Miss Vickers.

Good evening, Mr Eastman.

Good evening.

- Angela, darling, hello.

- Hello, Marcia.

- Hello, George. Having fun?

- I just got here.

Come on in and join the party.

It's going to be

such a wonderful summer.

- Do you ride?

- I'm just taking it up.

Hello, Mother, Dad.

We keep several horses.

There'll be lots of parties

and dances and things like that.
