An American Tragedy Page #3

You're different now from the way

you are in the factory.

How am I different?

- You always go around looking so cross.

As if you had no use for any of

the girls.

Sometimes when the pressman comes up

to you and you're not expecting it...

you jump and look kind of scared.

I don't do anything of the kind!

- Yes, you do!

But now you really seem happy,

Mr. Griffiths.

I guess you better start

calling me Clyde.

But in the factory it'll have to be

Mr Griffiths, won't it?

Yeah, we'll have to

watch our step there.

That might not be so easy.

I'll tell you what...

if I feel I have to say something like,

"I love you,"

I'll just walk by and say...

"Pretty slow today, Miss Alden."

And that will mean, "I love you"?

And that will mean, "I love you".

If you're thirsty, you better

have some of mine!

I don't know what we're going to do

from now on. It's getting cold and...

it won't be very pleasant walking along

the streets like this every night.

I guess it is getting colder.

I'll soon have to get a heavier coat.

You don't suppose we could go to your

room once in a while, do you?

No...no.

Couldn't do that.

Wouldn't be right.

Besides, someone might see us. You'd

lose your job and I'd lose mine too.

Alright, if you don't want to

you don't have to!

I'm not going to walk the streets

like this every night.

Please Clyde, don't be angry with me!

I'd let you come to my room if I could!

Be easy enough to do if you wanted to.

You don't want to.

I can't, Clyde! I can't!

It wouldn't be right!

Suits me, if that's the way

you feel about it.

Clyde!

Clyde!

Clyde, please don't go!

Please don't go.

Please don't go.

There's nothing to be frightened about.

They won't hear us.

If they find out,

we'll get into trouble!

I don't care.

Bert, I love you so.

I've been crazy about you

ever since I first saw you.

I'm afraid! I've never done anything

like this before!

There's nothing to be afraid of.

Clyde...

promise me you'll never leave me.

Of course I won't, darling

Never?

- Never.

I don't know what I'd do

if you did.

Kill myself, I think.

I'll never leave you, Bert,

Honest, I won't.

Bert...

I swear I'll never leave.

Out walking tonight?

Oh, I beg your pardon.

I thought you were someone else.

Yes, I know you must gave thought

I was someone else, Miss Finchley.

I'm Clyde Griffiths.

- Oh, yes.

I've heard a lot about you

from your cousin.

How did you know my name?

I've seen your picture so often

in the society column.

Oh, you have? Well, I won't detain you

any longer, Mr. Griffiths.

I suppose you're on your way

to see your girl?

I haven't got a girl.

We will have to remedy that!

Can I take you anywhere?
