Say, that's a swell idea.

John Fletcher and Joan.

I wonder why someone

hasn't thought of that before?

Someone has apparently.

- Is Joan back yet?

- No.

Can I come out too?

I've been in this kitchen before.

Sure, come on, Mr. Fletcher.

- Have a cocktail?

- Thank you.

- Hello, John.

- Hiya, Denny.

Joan will be down in a minute.

We don't always entertain in the kitchen

but this is the cook's night out.

Bring that plate, Denny.

We're going to the Little Club if you'd care

to join us later in the evening.

Oh, it's too noisy and crowded.

Don't expect us.

There's no telling where we'll go.

Thanks for the gardenias, John.

I didn't by any chance tell you that they

were my favorite flowers, did I?

No, you didn't. I just thought

that they were like you,

sort of cooly virginal, yet

exquisitely inviting.

I thought that all out by myself too.

- Just a fool.

- Must I drink alone?

Well, I'm afraid you must.

This is the last one.

I'll share it.

Can you be trusted?

Can you?

In drinking, yes.

- How did you like it?

- Oh, what a lovely play!

Made me want to be all feminine

and clingy.

Good. I hope the effect lasts.

Oh, here comes our car.

We haven't decided where we're going.

Oh, anywhere at ll. As long as it isn't

too noisy and crowded.

I got it. Why don't we go

to my place?

It's quiet and really rather nice.

You've never seen it, have you?

- No.

- The liquor's very good.

And there's a balcony with a grand

view of the city.

I know. On a clear day

you can see Goat Island.

That sounds alluring.

- All right, Freeman, that'll be all, I think.

- Very good, sir. Good night.

Good night.

Of course.

He would.

Would what?

Carefully close the door.

Certainly, I've got him trained.

You even have the moon trained,

haven't you?

Nice, isn't it?

Perfect.

You haven't drugged the champagne,

have you, darling?

No, I'm not that modest.

Thank you.

Oh, my, don't let me fall

asleep here, will you?

That's never happened to me yet.

You're a tremendous success

with women, aren't you?

Almost stupendous. I have to fight

five or six duels a week over them.

- Why, only last Tuesday...

- No, no! Don't tell me.

I'm excited enough for tonight.

You don't act it.

Well, I should hope not.

Do you suppose I want you to think

that this is the first time in my life...

I have ever had supper in a

gentleman's apartment alone at night?

I wouldn't be a bit surprised

if it were the first time.

Are you trying to insult me,

my good man?

Oh, I know you must have had

plenty of opportunities.

But I just like to believe that...

I'm a bit more persuasive than

the other men you know.

You are.

I have to admit I'm completely enamoured
