After Dark, My Sweet Page #3

YOU INTO THIS MESS.

IF HE SAW YOU...

FAY.

HERE. TAKE THE BOTTLE.

YOU LOOK LONELY,

AND A BOTTLE CAN BE

A LOT OF COMPANY.

WHAT'S GOING TO

HAPPEN TO YOU, FAY?

NOTHING.

SAME AS BEEN HAPPENING

SINCE MY HUSBAND DIED.

OH, NEVER MIND, COLLIE.

JUST GO AND KEEP GOING.

GO. GO. GO.

FLY AWAY INTO THE NIGH UP TO THE MOON.

WHETHER SHE WAS:

WATCHING ME OR NOT,

I DON'T KNOW.

I ONLY KNEW:

THAT I WAS MOVING AGAIN,

AWAY FROM HER:

AND UNCLE BUD.

I FELT KIND OF SAD

IN A WAY,

BUT AT THE SAME TIME,

I FELT GOOD.

DON'T FLASH THAT BOTTLE

AROUND SO MUCH, HUH?

SOME HIGHWAY PATROLMAN

COME IN HERE AND PFFT!

UM, MAN. HOW ABOUT--

HOW ABOUT A RIDE?

SORRY. THE COMPANY

SAYS NO RIDERS.

MAN, I COULD--

I COULD RIDE:

IN THE BACK,

JUST TILL DAYLIGHT.

WE'LL PROBABLY

RUN INTO THAT CRAZY

JACK BILLINGSLEY.

PLEASE, MAC.

CLEAR OUT, WILL YOU?

WHAT WILL PEOPLE THINK,

FOR GOD'S SAKE?

THEY COME HERE, AND YOU

JABBER AWAY ON THEM.

I'M SORRY.

I WON'T SAY

ANOTHER WORD TO ANYONE.

I'LL JUST, UH,

WAIT HERE QUIETLY

TILL IT GETS:

A LITTLE LIGHTER.

LEAVE THE COUNTER.

SIT IN THE BACK.

CERTAINLY.

I'D BE GLAD TO.

UGH.

SORRY.

FEEL OK?

LIKE ME TO:

ORDER YOU SOMETHING?

NO, THANK YOU.

YOU OUGH TO EAT SOMETHING

OR AT LEAS HAVE SOME COFFEE.

I THINK I'LL SIT HERE

AND WAIT FOR MY FRIEND

JACK BILLINGSLEY.

THAT'S NOT NECESSARY

WITH ME.

WHERE DO YOU LIVE?

WELL...

I SEE.

BEEN GETTING ALONG

ALL RIGHT?

ABOUT LIKE ALWAYS.

PRETTY GOOD,

I GUESS.

NOT REALLY GOOD,

YOU KNOW,

BUT ALL RIGHT.

HOW LONG SINCE YOU

WERE UNDER COMMITMENT?

IT'S BEEN A FEW, UH...

MORE THAN A YEAR NOW.

WOULD YOU LIKE:

TO GO BACK?

DON'T YOU THINK

YOU SHOULD GO BACK?

YEAH. I GUESS I SHOULD.

KIND OF.

I HAVEN'T BEEN IN

ANY TROUBLE OR ANYTHING.

YOU A DOCTOR?

YES. AND I THINK

YOU SHOULD GO BACK,

UNLESS, OF COURSE,

YOU'VE GOT SOME FRIEND

OR FAMILY MEMBER

WHO CAN HELP YOU.

I HAVEN'T.

I WISH I COULD HELP YOU,

BUT THERE ARE LIMITS

TO HOW MUCH EACH OF US

CAN GIVE OF OURSELVES.

WELL, DON'T WORRY

ABOUT ME, DOCTOR.

I'LL BE ALL RIGHT.

YOU SURE YOU'LL BE OK?

YOU LAY OFF THE BOOZE

AND BEHAVE YOURSELF.

YES, SIR.

YOU ARE, LIKE HELL.

HOW CAN YOU?

WHY THE HELL:

SHOULD YOU?

COME ON.

HE HAD A NICE HOUSE.

MY OWN ROOM.

NOBODY STARING AT YOU.

EXCEPT THAT I KEP THINKING ABOUT FAY

AND WORRYING ABOUT HER.

THANK YOU, DOCTOR.

TAKE CARE:

GETTING HOME NOW.

HEY.

COLLIE, I WAS

GOING TO ASK YOU,

IN CASE THE HOSPITAL

SHOULD REFUSE:

TO SEND FOR YOU,

IF THEY DON'T FEEL

ABLE TO, THAT IS,

BECAUSE OF THE EXPENSE...

YES, DOC?

COLLIE,

HOW WOULD YOU FEEL

ABOUT STAYING ON HERE

WITH ME?

YOU'D BE

A BIG HELP TO ME.

I'D BE OF HELP TO YOU.

IT WOULD BE:

A FINE ARRANGEMEN FOR BOTH OF US.
