He's a dull fellow, isn't he?

Pity a girl like Peggy has to

be married to a man like that.

Great pity.

It's alright though for your wife to sit

listening all evening to the big bore..

...as long as you can make it a

thrilling evening for poor, poor Peggy.

Aw, listen, you're not jealous, are you?

It isn't jealousy. If you

don't understand why...

Marriage!

What do you mean, "marriage"?

What's that got to do with it?

Well, if you're in love with a boy, and

he's supposed to be in love with you...

...you don't sit stuck away

in a corner all evening...

...while he makes love to another

woman. Not twice you don't!

Not if you aren't married!

Aww, you're exaggerating.

I don't like it, Don.

I don't like it at all.

Now, Helen, I don't want any scenes.

I'm tired and I want to go to sleep.

Boilers!

- Now, Ms. Seymour, please. Let's jump

into this. -It's 6:00, Mr. Peterson.

Ms. Seymour, we've too much

to do to worry about the time.

I can't work anymore! I don't feel well.

I'm sure I have a high temperature.

I'm sorry to hear that.

You better go home.

Yes... I've got to go home.

- Get here early in the morning.

- I hope I can, Mr. Peterson.

- Goodnight.

- Goodnight.

- Coming out to dinner, Don?

- No. I have work to do.

Well, I'll run along.

- Why? What's your hurry? -I have work to

do. Here are the drawings for Garfinkel.

What is it that's so important that you

go home every night to work on it?

Don... I'm doing the

drawings for Ellison.

- What drawings?

- The Palm Mennen drawings.

Wasn't any point in my not doing

them. Ellison had the account.

- Thought I might at least...

- You don't owe me any explanation.

I know I don't. I'm just

decent enough to offer one.

You might have told me sooner.

- What's the difference?

- It's not so sneaky.

- Didn't want to hurt you.

- Ha! Hurt me.

Well!

You'd better go along.

Don't waste any time.

Don, don't always tell me what to do.

HELLO.

Hello...

Oh.

Hello.

What are you doing this evening?

Working.

Can't play hooky?

No.

- Well, how long are you going to

be there? -All night, probably.

I'm going to be in the neighborhood.

Going out for dinner.

If I see a light in your window,

may I stop by and take you home?

I guess...

Yes.

A light in the window...

Don?

- Yes? -What time is it?

Just 3 o'clock.

Heavens, I must have been asleep for

hours. I meant to wait up for you.

Just finished working?

Yes.

Don, why are you lying?

Lying?

Let's have a showdown.

When I finished working,

I went down to the office.

I wanted to see if there

wasn't something I could do.

When I got there, I saw you

going away with Peggy.

Don, I'm fed up.

- Before I even explain...
