Adam's Rib Page #4

So he says, ''Don't bother me at the office.

You want me to lose my job?''

Loud. So then he hung up.

And what did you do?

l had a cup of coffee.

Where?

The same place as him,

only he didn't see me.

lt was crowded. The Buffet Exchange.

So then l bought

some chocolate nut bars...

and l went outside of his office

and l waited the whole afternoon.

And l kept eating the candy bars

and waiting until he come out.

And then l followed him.

And then l shot him.

And after you shot him,

how did you feel then?

Hungry.

Everything looks lovely, Mary.

-You must be dead.

-l don't care, except the extra help.

The more help l got,

the harder l have to work.

-l'm not late, am l?

-lsn't that typical.

Twenty minutes of 8:00.

Beautiful!

l don't....

Can you get dressed in four minutes?

Of course l can't get dressed

in four minutes.

Why, sure, darling,

l can get dressed in four minutes.

l may have trouble getting in a bath

in that time.

You are hurrying up, aren't you, darling?

Do you remember Judge Marcasson's

wife's name?

l do. Alice.

l hope Kip knows enough to behave

with the judges around.

l'll keep him playing the piano

as much as possible.

-Have a good day?

-Yeah.

-You make a lot of money?

-No.

-Better than money.

-Really? What?

A very interesting development.

Very.

Good.

l hope you'll think so

when you find out what it is.

lt may jar you a bit at first, but....

Pinky!

Calling me?

What's that?

Just the best hat in the world.

For the best head.

l may ask you to come home late

every single night.

Someday they're gonna build

a statue to you somewhere.

l said.... Now, what about that?

-That's sweet.

-lsn't that absolutely a miracle?

You look kind of like Grandma Moses.

-Yeah?

-Your mother and father are here.

-Tell them we'll be right down.

-Tell them to fix themselves a drink!

-What?

-A drink.

No, thanks.

What?

l said l don't want one, thanks.

For the love of heaven.

-How do l look?

-Oh, boy, you look handsome.

-This is a dress l have on.

-Oh, it's beautiful!

They'll be right down, Mrs. Bonner.

-How are you, Mary?

-Hello, everybody.

-Hello, honey.

-lt's just us.

-Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.

-Son, how are you?

Dad. Hi.

-Hello, Adam.

-Hello, dear.

Adam, mix the drinks.

l'm sorry we're late, but l'm not to blame.

-l have an irresponsible husband.

-Hereditary.

We're gonna have

the most sensational dinner.

-Oh, my dress. Do it up, will you?

-l'm sorry. l forgot my glasses.

You did? Adam!

Come in here and fasten me up.

-Sit down.

-Fasten? Here, Pop.

Mix 'em, don't drink 'em.

l suppose someday

somebody will invent something--

You've got no complaint.
