Wait for me.
I'll only be a minute.
- I can't wait.
- Sure you can. I do that all the time.
I don't care what you do all the time, mister.
It ain't right to hold a cab these days.
There used to be 11,811 cabs
operating in New York City.
- Now there's less than 10,000.
- Okay, you won the case.
Right now every New York cab has to take
care of 1,156 people, and that's a lot-
I said you won the case. Do you have
to convert me too? Here. Keep it.
- Hello, Mr. O'Mara.
- Evening, honeybunch.
Hello, pet.
I told you I had a date for dinner.
Anybody want a cup of coffee?
No, thanks.
But I'd like some cream.
- Uh-uh, Angelus.
- I'll definitely start my diet-
Tomorrow. I know.
Well, anyway, you finished
my upper part.
And don't forget.
This is the only place I ever eat.
When are you going to let me
come live with you, Daisy?
When you reduce your suitor traffic.
Here's the cream, honeybunch.
- All right, darling. Get up and live.
- Thank you.
That's the last of
the Eberhardt series.
It's half past time
I got dressed for dinner.
Don't girls ever die in bed
in your magazines?
Sure-suffocation,
but I don't like it.
With a pillow over my face,
I look like anybody.
Swell. See you Monday.
- Have a good time, honeybunch.
- Good night, Mr. O'Mara.
- Good night, Angelus.
- Good night, Daisy.
- I've got to get dressed.
- I can't stay, pet.
I tried to call you all afternoon,
but your line was busy.
- I can't make dinner at the Latimers' tomorrow.
- Oh, honestly. Do you realize...
this is the third time we've made a date
with the Latimers and you've broken it?
- Honey, if you let me talk I-
- Why should I?
I don't intend to believe
a word you're going to say.
Once, yes.
Make it the week after next,
and I'll be there if it kills me.
I will not. You don't have
to go anywhere with me.
We just won't plan anything at all.
Come on, Tubby.
Sure you don't want some coffee?
No, thank you.
I don't want any coffee.
Going to rain.
Oh, fine.
Let's make conversation.
Do you think there'll be rain for
the entire eastern seaboard this weekend?
I hope not. I'm going to Washington. Hard
enough to get a taxi when it isn't raining.
Washington? How thrilling.
Harry S. want your advice
on atomic energy?
Now, look. Your being mad
is silly, and you know it.
I've never broken a date unless I couldn't
help it. Unless something really important-
- Thanks.
- I don't mean you're not important.
But we can go to the Latimers' next week,
and we can see each other anytime.
Do you realize in all this time, ever
since the Latimers first introduced us...
that we haven't made
Those stairs of yours
are driving me nuts.
Why don't you live
someplace civilized?
That apartment on 63rd Street-
I can't hold it forever.
You're determined to have
a good row, aren't you?
This is my apartment. It's been my apartment
since I started to work in New York.
I like it, and I'm keeping it.
You're making plenty
of money yourself.
I have a theory that you stay
in this hovel just to punish me.
- And another thing- - I don't think
we have time for a single other thing.
I think we won't see
each other anymore, Dan.
I think I'm through.
Do we have to go through
all this again?
No, we don't have to go
through anything again.
I have to fight to stay happy-
fight for everything.
My life's all mixed up with you every way
I turn. And what fun is it?
I've tried, and you've tried.
It isn't all your fault.
There just isn't enough.
You've got her,
and you've got the kids.
You've got your work
and being a big shot in Washington.
I've just got my work.
You messed that up too.
When I'm mad I can't work,
and I'm mad all the time.
You're never going to marry me, because you're
never going to be divorced for all you say.
- That's not fair- - You're never going to be
divorced, Dan, because you don't want to be.
Believe me, I'm not
being sorry for myself.
I knew it would be like this.
It's just that I'm tired.
That's all. Tired and through.
I'll get out whenever
you tell me to...
but I want you to tell me because
you mean it, not because you're angry.
Are you really telling me now?
- I said I was.
- You know I don't like scenes.
I'll get out now,
and I won't come back, if you tell me.
Darling.
Will you ever believe
I mean what I say?
That depends on what you say.
I was taking a client of mine out to dinner tonight
- Payton Ames, the novelist.
I'll call him up
and tell him to forget it.
I told you I had
a date for dinner...
and you needn't think that getting
around me is going to change my mind.
You're most of my life, Daisy-
the only part of it that matters.
- We can't stop.
- I've tried.
Honestly, I've tried.
And I will one day too.
All right, you will.
You stop sometime,
maybe next year, next week...
but not this week.
All right. Not this week.
Now go on. Beat it.
My date's due.
Good night.
Good night, Dan.
Taxi!
- Wait for me.
- Hey, taxi.!
Sorry, I'm keeping him.
Isn't right to hold
a cab these days.
Every New York cab
has to do for 1,156 people.
Anyway, Miss Kenyon won't be ready.
Oh, she's expecting you, but I'm afraid
Go right up. I'll send the cab back
