Another Time, Another Place Page #3

- Anything new?

- I'll take three.

- Two.

- She's got three of a kind.

Suffer it.

Sara.

I bet a shilling. Yes?

Someone fell out of a plane

and wants Sara to catch him.

Who?

Oh, that's wonderful, Jonesy. Thanks.

The butcher's promised

my housekeeper two chops.

You know what those butchers are:

Full of promises.

- What time you eating?

- 9:
00.

Better make it 8:00.

- Okay, what have you got?

- Full house. Kings and 4s.

Why 8:
00?

Because you've got to be

at the airport at 9:30.

Sorry, I have a date.

The boss is flying in.

- Well, he can't be.

- Why not? He can afford the fare.

It should happen to a dog.

I thought he was at Regensburg

with Patton's army.

He was. Now he's in a plane

coming here.

- I've had it. Count me out.

- She plays one hand and collapses.

Sorry. Tomorrow night.

Count me out, too.

And keep your hands off my money.

When the boss flies in,

he expects his slaves to be there.

I told you:
I have a date.

- With Mark.

- Yes.

- So I'll see Reynolds here.

- You'll see him at the airport.

What's the difference?

Sooner or later you've got to tell him.

I know. I'm just being cowardly, Jake.

What do you think he'll do

when I tell him I'm going to marry Mark?

- You're what?

- That's right.

- When did this happen?

- Well, I almost asked him tonight.

I think maybe

I won't go to the airport, either.

But he'll understand.

Reynolds? He's been known to string

people up by the thumbs for a lot less.

- You're a great help.

- Well, you asked me.

I'll be seeing you.

Only today I said to Mr. Bunker, I said:

"Listening to Mr. Trevor's broadcasts,

affects me so, I could burst out crying. "

Well, that's nothing to be ashamed of,

Mrs. Bunker.

They're so good, sometimes

even Mr. Trevor bursts out crying.

Very funny.

- Thank you, Mrs. Bunker.

- Not at all, I'm sure.

- It's 9:
00, Miss Scott.

- Thank you for reminding me.

I'm sorry, Mark, but I have to run.

- Just a minute, Sara.

- But I can't, darling.

I'll change in a hurry,

then we'll have coffee together.

Come on, don't look so glum.

- Ready for coffee, Mrs. B.

- Yes, Miss Scott.

Here's your coffee, Mr. Trevor.

If you don't mind my saying, so, sir,

you look ever so tired.

- Yes, I am a bit.

- Well, never mind.

The war will soon be over,

and then we'll all have a nice long rest.

Mark, I'm going to have to miss

your broadcast.

You won't be missing a thing.

You know you're not supposed to talk

about your work that way.

That's my privilege.

You're sure you have to go

to the airport?

When the boss flies in,

the whole office goes to the airport.

- Besides, I'm going to tell him.

- What?

About us. And how disgustingly happy
