Lady Be Good Page #4

---

- That's kind of you.

I still have never been able to get

one of these things in a taxi.

- Maybe I can stay for just one more.

- Oh, good.

- Oh, please.

- Yes, come on. Just one more, huh?

Say, Dixie, wasn't it a swell party?

Everybody said they couldn't have had

a better time.

Did you meet that real live countess?

You mean the lady

with the slight mustache?

Yeah.

And that society columnist?

Oh, yes.

You should have heard him rave

about your tune.

Yeah?

He asked me

what we're gonna do next...

...and I told him an idea of

that number we talked about last.

Oh, I don't think that's so hot.

Oh, everybody loves a love song

in spring.

I'm sure we can get it.

Look, Eddie, I dare you.

- Lets go in and run it over right now?

- Now?

We've always worked any hour

of the day or night.

Oh, no, honey. I don't feel like it.

I'm not in the mood.

Tomorrow then?

Well, maybe. We'll see.

No, I just remembered.

I'm going down to the Sound

to see the Marions' new boat.

They certainly liked our party.

I got a thrill out of looking around

that room tonight.

You know something? I'll bet we had

150 million bucks right in that living room.

Uh-huh.

Did you see all the invitations we got?

Twenty, I'll bet you.

- Did my blue suit go to the cleaners?

- Yes.

- When do I get my laundry?

- Tomorrow at 10:00.

Do you know if those brown shoes

were picked up?

The bootmaker

will have them here Friday.

We've ordered your favorite lobster and

the butler's reordered the wine you like.

Anything else, Eddie?

What's the matter?

I didn't know

you were that tired tonight.

There are a lot of things I'm tired of.

What did you mean by that?

Eddie...

...let's shake hands and call it quits.

Quits?

You see, this whole business

is your idea of fun, it isn't mine.

I think you could have

a better time alone.

I wanna work. I'm a worker.

I can't stand this routine

of bouncing red balloons in the air.

But it's your idea

of a merry-go-round, darling.

So you ride on it.

Oh, I get it.

My balloons, my merry-go-round.

As if you weren't having

a good time yourself.

If that isn't a typical feminine attitude,

always making the man the heavy.

Oh, let's not fight about it, Eddie.

It really only dawned on me tonight.

Maybe I ought to have my freedom.

Legally.

Well...

...you know I'd never stand in the way

of what you wanna do.

That's white of you, Eddie.

As long as we don't see things

the same way, what's the use of going on?

No use.

No use at all.

And we won't.

That's the whole story, as I pieced it

together from my own impressions...

...and the things Dixie told me.

As Red said, I'm afraid Eddie figured

he'd caught the streetcar...
