Baby Face Page #4

He has to sign this voucher anyhow.

- Well, she certainly works fast.

- It won't do her any good.

He's very much in love

with the girl he's engaged to.

Say, I was surprised to read

that in the paper.

It's a good match for him too.

Marrying old Carter's daughter.

Mr. Stevens is

an extraordinarily fine person.

He has high ideals.

He's not like other men.

- You can't come in.

- What do you mean?

New landlady. And she's a terror.

Won't let me have any men visitors.

- I've gotta see you. It's been over a week.

- No, it can't be done.

But, Lily, losing my job was bad enough,

but not seeing you is worse. I can't stand it.

No, it's wrong. My conscience

has been bothering me.

- But you...

- Think of your wife and kids.

I can't see you anymore.

Lily...

- Who was it, honey?

- Oh, just a boy collecting for the paper.

- Have a drink?

- No, thanks. I never touch it.

Oh, you don't want me to drink alone.

Well...

...maybe just a sip.

Hello? Tell Mr. Stevens that his fiance

is upstairs with her father...

...and she'll be right down to see him.

Thank you.

Oh, Miss Merrick, I've changed my mind.

Could you go to lunch now?

I'd like to get a manicure at 1:00.

That's quite all right.

Haven't I told you never to come

beyond the front of this desk?

Oh, but I get so lonesome

out there all by myself.

Now, don't do that.

How do you expect me

to get any work done?

Hold me close.

Anne.

Anne, listen to me.

Paragraph. It has always been

the policy of this institution...

...to appoint its customers...

- Father!

My darling. What is it?

What is it?

Anne, please, dear.

What? Tell me.

Tell me what happened.

- Anne, please.

- There's nothing he can say.

I don't wanna see him.

- What happened, Ned?

- Why, l...

Send him away, please. I can't.

Perhaps you'd better wait outside.

There seems to be only one thing

to do, Ned. Let that girl go.

- Is that all to go out?

- Listen to this, will you:

"When guests enter the dining room...

...it is customary for the butler to hold out

the chair of the mistress of the house.

If there are footmen enough,

the chair of each lady is held for her."

See that you don't forget that now.

Come in a minute, please.

Lily...

...it's too bad that happened.

l... I'll have to let you go.

Yes.

Well, I have no choice.

You understand.

Anyway, it's better this way.

I'd rather you don't work.

I don't wanna quit the job.

I like to be near you.

I don't see you much as it is.

Well, I'm sorry, Lily.

There's nothing else for me to do.

You can't stay here.

All right.

If I have to go, it means

that you won't see me anymore.

- Look here.

- No, that's all there is to it.
