Dream Wife Page #3

Oh, please, let's not get into that again.

We are in it, and we might as well have it out.

Come over here.

Here's Bukistan.

I know, I've been there.

Here's the United States.

I've been there too.

We have just one thing in common. Oil.

Every plan we've make for peace or war

depends on that oil.

Is that so?

I don't have to tell you what happened in Iran.

Half the free world had to learn to pronounce

the name Mosaddegh.

I still can't pronounce it.

The same thing is happening again...

only this time there'll be a lot of new names to learn.

And the only way we can get that oil

is to get those names on the dotted line.

Really?

And that's why this deal is so important.

And I'm in charge, Clem,

whether you like it or not, I am in charge.

Yes, yes...

And if that's the Julliard Matron's Needlepoint Society,

I'll leave my hat.

Don't remember what you were going to say

until I get back. Be a good girl.

Sorry to break in on you, Reade,

but your phone's out of order.

I've been calling all evening.

We had a cable from Marley.

Givney's walked out. The pot's really boiling.

Givney's walked out?

Givney walked.

It must have been over his ears.

He can outweigh a pyramid.

I hate to be upsetting your evening,

but this is so hot the words

are just jumping off the papers.

Here, let me see it.

I'm afraid this is going to postpone your honeymoon.

Don't worry about it.

You see, we were right about this cookie.

Yes, but Glenson's weaker than we thought.

Dinner is ready.

Oh, start without me, Clem, I'll be right there.

No, no, no...

I don't believe you heard Annie.

Dinner is ready.

Pull up a chair, Mac.

I've eaten already.

I will have a little coffee, though.

I wish you'd go over that fourth paragraph.

Hm-hmm.

Right in here, now.

You see...

We'll have to change our tactics, I can see that.

We'll have to take part IV and put it

under the heading of Administration and Supply.

Pass the salt, please.

There are still a few things to be worked out,

but I'm sure you can handle them.

Pass the pepper, please.

Now, under this heading here, uh...

Contract Negotiations, part III

Bread.

I don't use butter.

You know, Bukistan may turn out to be

the key to this whole thing.

If they fall in line, the rest will follow.

Right now we have to get to Haroun.

First things first.

Right.

Right... right!

Now hear this and hear it good.

This is only going to take a minute but it may be

the most important minute in our lives.

You can put it under the heading of Clem and Effie,

Basic Principles, Part I.

Perhaps I'd better...

No, I want you to hear it, too.

I'm in love with you, not the State Department.
