Heartbeat Page #5

-You've got to choose.

-But why?

Charles comes back

day after tomorrow.

That's right.

Day after tomorrow, you either

come here for good...

or we won't see

each other anymore.

There you are. It's simple.

Charles, we've been together

for two years.

No, three years..

I can't believe--

Yes, three years.

For three marvelous years--

And I don't have to tell you...

that my feelings

are deep and profound.

You know that.

And because that's true, I can't

bring myseIf to lie about this.

Then again, I could just say

the simple truth.

Charles, forgive me.

I love Antoine.

I wouldn't mind staying

with you...

but Antoine

is terribly jealous. No.

What I'll have to do

is to tell him here...

when he's past the gate.

I might not be able to later.

No. I'll simply say,

"Charles"...

Flight number 801, coming

from New York, will be delayed.

A delay of how long?

What does that mean?

Is anything wrong?

I mean the flight from New York.

We know no more than that.

It may be

the weather conditions.

But it could be dangerous.

Of course not. Don't worry.

Is anything wrong, miss?

Please, leave me alone.

Passengers arriving on flight

may be met at Gate 34.

Charles! Oh, Charles!

I thought the plane crashed.

No, it was nothing.

Really.

The pilot had trouble

with the motors.

And you, how are you?

all right.

Antoine, I went to the airport.

I'd even practiced what to say,

I swear it.

Then, because his flight

was delayed, I...

Just the thought of him dead,

the way I've been behaving...

Though he seemed dead

every minute we were together.

Antoine, it's me.

Things haven't turned out

so well.

Did you talk to Charles?

No. I mean,

that's why I'm calling.

I don't want to hear from you

till you've told him everything.

Happy birthday, Johnny.

There's not much more room

in here.

That's all right. Let us in.

Just a second.

Step into my parlor.

I love your place.

Happy birthday, Johnny.

Thanks, Charles.

I'm delighted you could come.

-Terrific butler, he has.

-She's divine.

You know everybody.

Just make yourselves at home.

-Don't worry about us.

-You know where the drinks are.

You know Estelle, I believe.

That's marvelous!

He always was a practical joker!

What I can't stand...

Good evening.

Good evening.

Good evening.

Good evening.

You're looking well.

How are you, dear?

-Good evening.

-How are you?

-Evening.

-Nice to see you.

Lucille, don't run off

like that.

Lovely dress

you've got on, dear.

Oh, really?

I'm glad that you think so.

Both in black.

That's a good sign.

I wore black tonight

because it makes me cheerful.

-Why, Lucille, hello.

-How are you, Claire?

It's been a while, darling.
