And I won't be back

till Friday morning.

- All right, what about Friday lunch?

- okay.

Wish you'd told me before

I got my hair brushed.

- I'm sorry.

- Yes, I am too.

I was looking forward to a big evening

sitting around Columbus Circle.

Pete, listen.

Everything's beginning

to go great for me, just great.

In a way, it's all on account of you.

- It is?

- Something you said.

Well, it made me do

something I did.

- And, well, that's why.

- Well, that's fine.

- So thank you very much.

- It was really nothing.

- Thank you.

- What for?

- For coming out this way.

- What way?

- I mean, I appreciate it.

- So do I.

oh, wait, wait. Wait, wait, wait.

oh, no, wait.

- Wait. Where are you going?

- What is it?

Aren't you gonna go

around Columbus?

- What for?

- To see it.

- It?

- What this whole date's about.

- What?

- What Ive got that you want.

- What youve got-?

- The sign.

oh, the sign. Yes. Yes, of course.

Every time I see it,

I get a bigger one than last time. oot.

- Would you drive around once more?

- A pleasure.

If you knew what it means to me...

...how it makes me feel and all...

If you knew,

you wouldn't ask me for it.

Not even for your own soap.

- I have another idea.

- Like?

- Well, I-

- once more?

- What?

- Around once more.

ut just once more.

I'm getting a little hungry.

What's food?

Now, what I had in mind was this...

...that we share the sign.

Then we'd all be happy.

I'm happy now.

When you think that last week

I was nobody...

...and this week Ive got my name

on that big sign...

...and dancing in a place like this

where everybody's somebody.

- You said something up at the office.

- Yeah.

- Something about 73 days more?

- From tomorrow, 72.

Now, my idea is this.

If you split the space with us,

you could be up there for six months.

- I could?

- I'd see to it.

In writing?

If you like.

only not in such big letters, huh?

Well, no.

- Look!

- What?

- Walter Winchell.

- oh, yeah.

That makes the seventh big name

Ive seen tonight.

What a night.

- Well, good night.

- Good night.

- Thank you very much.

- Not at all.

I had a real good time.

- Unusual.

- So did I.

- Well, good night.

- Good night.

- Well, good night.

- Good night.

Well, this is it.

- What?

- Where I live.

- oh, good.

- So I guess I better go in.

Very well.

- ecause it's pretty late.

- Yes, it is.

And besides, I don't think

your car's safe down there.

- No?

- You don't know this neighbourhood.

Locked.

They don't need keys,

not around this neighbourhood.

I'm scared you'll lose your car.

I have another one.

Shall we?

- See that?

- What?

You better go.

- I'll call you tomorrow.
