Human Desire Page #3

She has no sense of time,

you know that.

She was the same way

when we lived together.

It's 6:
30 already.

If you're married, that's late,

and if you're single,

it's early.

Well, how do I look?

Fine. Fine.

Say, are you still running around

with that Harry what's-his-name?

He went and married

somebody else.

(LAUGHS) And since he

took that attitude,

I didn't want to have

anything more to do with him.

So I found another guy,

a real doll.

The only trouble is, I'm

much younger than he is.

But it all evens up.

He's got more money.

Tell Vicki I couldn't wait.

And be sure and lock up

before you leave.

Okay, okay.

And stop worrying, Carl.

All women are alike.

They just got different faces so

that the men can tell them apart.

She'll show up.

See you.

(DOOR OPENING)

I was worried. I thought

something happened to you.

Nothing ever happens to me,

darling. You know that.

Did you think I was lost?

I didn't know what to think.

Say, what happened?

What about my job?

You got your job back.

Mr. Owens called Rogers, the superintendent,

and everything's taken care of.

Does that make you happier?

I knew you could fix it, Vicki.

I caught Mr. Owens

just in time.

He was taking the train

for Chicago tonight.

Come here.

Oh.

Don't, Carl.

I'm hot and tired.

I... I'm going

to take a shower.

You know, I'd like to see Thurston's

face when he hears the news.

He's going to burn.

Honey, next time, try to get

along with him, will you?

Yeah, sure.

Pretty soon I'll have his job.

You haven't said anything

about getting your job back.

Aren't you happy?

Sure I'm happy.

Vicki, you were

gone five hours.

You can't just barge in on

a man as busy as John Owens.

He had a lot of appointments and, well, then

he had trouble getting in touch with Rogers.

I telephoned Owens' office

and you weren't there.

When?

About 3:
30.

We went out for a drink.

Where'd you go?

Some bar.

You should have

telephoned me. You...

You knew I was anxious.

There was nothing

to be anxious about.

I told you Owens

would do it for you.

You told me?

I thought you said

he didn't like doing favors.

What are we arguing about?

You wanted your job back,

didn't you?

Well, you have it.

I couldn't just

ask him and run.

That bar,

what was the name of it?

Some bar downtown.

I don't know the name.

And you just sat there

for three hours talking?

Yes.

This Owens must have

a lot of time to waste.

He's got a big office and he can take off

in the middle of the day for three hours.

What did you find so

important to talk about?

Old times.

Old times,

for three hours, huh?

I didn't keep track

of the time.

I was trying to get you
