corrective hats.

Harvey, what you don't like

about Miss Dickinson

is exactly what I do like

about her.

She's like a wife,

a good wife,

devoted, competent

takes care of everything

for me during the day.

And at night,

she goes home, to her home.

And I, with no problems

and no cares,

go to my girl.

My life is arranged

the way I like it.

Your girl?

One girl? Singular?

Didn't I tell you?

It's been a year now.

Huh. That's not

the old Julian Winston

I knew in the old days.

The dancing dentist

at the Copa every night

with a new girl.

Toni has changed all that.

I don't want anyone else.

You mean you're in love

with her?

I tried to fight it.

Take last night.

I deliberately broke

a date with Toni

to go out

with another girl.

Airline stewardess,

tall, built,

spectacular-looking

Australian girl.

We went up to her place...

Yeah.

...had a few drinks.

Yeah.

Open.

Bite. Stay that way.

Hey, you can't leave me

hanging like this.

You wanted to see me

about something?

Yes, Doctor.

I've been meaning

to speak to you

about Mr. Greenfield's bill.

Miss Dickinson, you know

he's an old friend of mine.

Well, I think he's taking

advantage of you.

Miss Dickinson,

there are some things

a man just can't do.

I won't push

Harvey Greenfield

for money.

I've known him too long.

You do it.

Well, I'll be happy to.

What's this?

I ordered you

some new shirts.

The ones you're wearing

are frayed

around the collar.

You really should change

laundries. They're using

too much starch.

Please stop mothering me.

Here's a letter

for you, Doctor.

When I'm through

with Mr. Greenfield.

Rinse, please.

So, you went up

to her place.

Hmm?

You went up to her place,

you had a few drinks...

Oh, oh, yes.

The stewardess.

Yes, beautiful girl.

Beautiful.

Well, then what happened?

Oh, nothing.

Toni stopped me.

Toni? She showed up?

In my mind.

Suddenly I saw

her face before me

and I couldn't

go through with it.

I left, walked out.

You wasted

a whole stewardess?

Open.

You going to get married?

Married? Who said anything

about getting married?

If you feel that way

about your girl...

I feel that way about my girl

because she is my girl.

You'd never catch me

feeling that way

about a wife.

Look, Harvey,

I've got a perfect setup.

Why spoil it

by getting married?

Well, that's a very

healthy outlook.

But what about her?

No problem.

All girls

want to get married.

I know. I've been

subdivided three times.

Not Toni Simmons.

She thinks

I'm already married.

Julian, you pulled

that old stunt

on her, huh?

The minute I met her,

I knew this girl

could make me do anything.

So just to protect myself
