Come on. Take your coat off

and stay a while.

Oh, no, Eddie.

Let's go to a movie, huh?

Ah, look. It's raining

cats and dogs out.

- Well, I can't stay here.

- What's the matter with this?

My brother would rip me apart if he knew

I was alone with a fella in his room.

Suppose your landlady found me.

Gee, she'd think I was a tramp or something.

Ah, they don't expect

nothing raw here.

This ain't no $12-a-day hotel.

Ah, let's wait downstairs then.

It might rain for an hour yet. Let's stay

here where they have ashtrays and things.

I gotta go. Besides, it ain't right,

my being alone here in the room with you.

- Did I ever get fresh with ya?

- No.

But I ain't that kind of a girl.

I don't go to fellas' rooms.

Listen. I got other things

to think about, see?

I'm gonna have my own store soon.

I was talking to the boss about it only today.

Oh, gee, Eddie.

That'll be swell.

None of that mushy stuff for me.

- Give us a kiss, will ya?

- Oh. None of that mushy stuff, huh?

Ah, well, a little

of it's all right.

- Come on. Take off your coat and stay a while.

- Oh, no. I can't. Oh, no.

- Eddie, now-

- Come on. Take it off. Come on.

- Take that hat off.

- Stay- Oh, no.

- Eddie, I'm not gonna take my hat off.

- Come on.

- Oh, now you're-

- Take it off.

No.

Oh, gee. I didn't know

it was as late as that.

- Ah, it's early yet.

- Well, I gotta go.

Stopped raining.

Hey, lookit. There's a fella

trying to kiss a girl.

Where?

- Here.

- Oh, Eddie.

Oh, Eddie, please don't.

I gotta go.

Aw, gee.

You can't be with me two minutes

but you gotta pull that I gotta go" gag.

Aw, no. But you don't understand.

I must go.

You'd think I was

poison or something.

- Oh, no, but it's getting late, and I can't stay any longer.

- I know. You gotta go.

Aw, Eddie. Don't get mad.

I'm not mad.

But you're always talking about I gotta go. "

Well, I do have to go.

It's only about 4:00.

Yeah, but I've never been out

later than 12:
00 in my life.

Oh, my brother will kill me.

Aw, gee, kid.

Please don't do that.

If I could only find Edna.

Aw, can't you do anything

without Edna's help?

My brother's stuck on her.

If she was there,

he wouldn't be sore at me.

At least he wouldn't holler.

He's got a terrible temper.

Well, you want to go over

and try Edna's house again?

No. If she was there,

she'd open the door.

She must be sleeping at her aunt's.

- Come on.

- What are you gonna do?

I'm goin' up and tell your brother

you were with me.

No. You can't go up.

There'd only be a fight.

Aw, there wouldn't be any fight.

He'd make one crack, I'd hang that in his jaw,

and the fight would be all over.

Oh, gee, Eddie.
