Because of You Page #5

You know he has to be told before

he becomes your husband?

Yes .. yes, I know.

Mrs Gordon, I ..

I thought you might make

an exception in this case.

I understand about the civil rights.

I mean I have to get them back.

You can't marry unless the Board of

Correction gives you special permission.

I have to see the young man first

and tell him of your conviction.

It is the State's way of protecting you.

But if ..

If I tell him myself ..?

Mrs Gordon, he's not well.

This all happened so suddenly that ..

Aren't you kidding yourself, Chris?

Naturally, you don't him to know.

And you'll find a dozen excuses

for yourself to get out of it.

But he must be told.

And by me.

Don't worry. I'll go easy with him.

I'll give you every break possible.

She told my boyfriend for me

alright. I never saw him again.

Perhaps he didn't love

you very much, Vera?

I'm just warning her.

Look honey, when are you ditching

this hole? - December.

You'd better wait it out. They

can't tell you what to do after that.

To put it off is just

avoiding the problem.

I think I'll wait.

- Smart babe.

What a guy doesn't

see doesn't worry him.

Think it over, Chris.

Thanks, Mrs Gordon.

And Chris.

Don't get any ideas.

Some girls have been known

to try it anyway, but ..

We always read the

marriage license columns.

A parole violation will land

you right back in prison.

Don't worry, Miss Gordon.

Bye.

So long, honey.

What do you mean, maybe he

didn't love me? I didn't say he did.

But I was getting him

to marry me, wasn't I?

Hey, how's it going, Doc Breen?

Always on pop? There must

be a spike hidden somewhere.

Well, Miss Beecher's talents have

certainly been overlooked.

Unlimited.

That's it. That's it. Now you got it.

The right wingspan.

Hi. Hi, Doc.

- Quite a party you've got.

Yep, nothing but laughs.

You look great.

- I feel great.

Excuse me.

Let the guy through.

A new job isn't the only

thing we're celebrating.

Steve, wait a minute.

- What?

Not yet, please.

- But why?

Fellows, girls. This is an announcement.

Hey, when did this happen?

Behind the screen, of course.

I could have told you.

No wonder I couldn't make any time

with her. Gee Chris, that's wonderful.

You'll both be okay.

You going to live in Philadelphia?

- Not yet for a while.

I forgot to tell you. We're staying

here at Long Beach for a while.

Cantrell's got a big new plant here.

- That's good, Steve.

Hi, doctor.

How about it, Doc?

Just what you ordered?

Lots of luck to both of you.

Walk me to the elevator will you, Chris.

Yes, surely.

Hey remember. No funny stuff, Doc.

She promised to marry me.

Did you know that he was going to

announce your engagement just now?
