Er... no.

But right now I have an impulse to do it

and I always obey my impulses.

We miss so much in life by not doing

what we're really feeling.

Didn't you ever want to trip a waiter

when he's carrying a tray full of dishes?

Yes!

I've done it.

No!

It's marvelous.

It only cost me $28.60.

What are you doing tonight? Why, do

you want to go out and trip waiters?

Yes!

I'd rather ring doorbells and run.

Oh, the fun we're going to have together.

That's just what I wanted to know.

A good woman. I'm sorry, sir.

Not many of us left out there.

Darling!

Yes?

Joan must be sailing for home about now.

What?

I said your sister Joan must be sailing

from France about now.

That's right.

Oh!

What time is it?

Four fifteen.

Four fifteen here...

Over there it must be...

Nine fifteen.

We're away on time.

I'll be so glad to get home to see

sis and Aunt Kate.

How long since you've seen your sister?

It's been two years.

And then just for a few days.

I'm away over here to school.

You see, I lived with my aunt in Oklahoma.

Oh!

You think a lot of your sister, don't you?

Everyone who knows her loves her.

I could never tell you how wonderful

she's been to me.

She works so hard to pay

for my schooling over here and...

Oh, don't get me started on the subject

of Gerry or I'll talk all the way home.

How well did you know her?

Oh, well, it was just one of those things.

I remember her alright.

But I don't know if she'll remember me.

Wouldn't she be surprised if she knew

we were engaged?

Don't forget. That's our secret.

You can't feel happy as you look.

I've never been so happy.

I'm falling more in love

with him every day.

But it can't go on.

For heaven's sake, why not?

I've got to tell him, you know,

about Jim.

Now, don't be a fool.

That's the one sure way of losing him.

I know. But I won't feel

right unless I tell him.

You'll probably feel worse if you do.

Think it over carefully.

Well, I guess I'm just a modern girl

with an old-fashioned conscience.

Press this for me?

Hm?

Bye.

Well, here we are.

And just in time.

There you are.

Let go!

Hm-hmm.

I want to turn on the light.

Keep me with you. I'm afraid of the dark.

Alright.

Still scared?

Hm-hmm.

Still scared?

A little.

Should we have some music?

Pick a station.

...as a baby swallows the

pill thinking it's candy.

Still scared?

Now a little fire and everything's set.

I think your feet are wet.

No, they're not.

They might be.

I didn't step in a puddle.

Well, let's see.

Are they warm now?

Hm-hmm.

Ow!

What's wrong?

Better get a shoehorn.

Here we are.

There we are.

An inventor as well as a writer.

You know, Blake.
