Lolita Page #4

Are you having a good time?

Well, we'll see you then.

Bye-bye.

Aren't they adorable together?

I think tonight's the night.

Well, Lolita told me that she's positive...

...Kenny's going to ask her

to go steady tonight.

Hello, Charlotte.

Jean, John, hello.

- Hi, Humbert.

- Hi, Hum.

Sorry we're late. I got held up in court.

The prosecution brought in

some new witnesses.

I had to stay with my client

and prepare for tomorrow.

John, can't you stop being a lawyer

for just one night in the week?

Mind if I dance with your girl?

We could sort of swop partners.

You're most welcome.

Well, this is what you get

because you won't dance.

Hi, Humbert.

- I'm sorry that I don't dance.

- That's all right.

I don't like dancing either very much.

Did you know that?

It's a funny thing, Humbert, but John and I,

we first met at a dance...

...and I was sort of sitting it out,

so he just sat it out, too.

That's very romantic.

Hi, Dad.

Mona, baby.

Darling!

- How are you doing?

- Fine.

Humbert...

...don't tell Charlotte that I told you this,

will you...

...but did you know that you've had

the most remarkable effect on her?

- Did you know that?

- I have?

I know it's none of my business, but...

...she's begun to radiate a certain glow.

I hardly think that has anything

to do with me.

Humbert, when you get to know me better,

you'll find I'm extremely broad-minded.

In fact, John and I,

we're both broad-minded.

Hey, you two, cut that out.

I'm so thirsty.

Let's all have a little punch now.

That's a good idea.

- There aren't any clean cups anymore.

- I'll get some from another table.

Thank you, Humbert.

Jean, your Mona looks simply enchanting

in that cloud of pink.

She's certainly becoming

a mature young lady, isn't she?

Yes. Where does the time go?

Do you know this summer

she'll be a junior camp counselor?

No, that's simply wonderful.

Are you sending her

to that Camp Climax again?

Of course.

We've done it every summer,

since she was ten.

It gives Jean and me a chance

to catch up on our homework.

Excuse me, kids.

My feet are killing me!

Who is that?

Who?

There.

It's Clare Quilty. You know, the TV writer?

I adored his play,

The Lady Who Loved Lightning.

It was marvelous.

Excuse me, kids, I'm going to go over

and say hello.

Hello!

Hello, hello again!

Wow!

It's certainly been a long time.

It certainly has... yes.

Do you know I've been the local authority

on you ever since?

Is that so? That's very sweet

of you, thank you.

I'll never forget that

intellectually stimulating talk...

...that you gave to our club.

A magnificent club, really magnificent.

Tell me one thing, are you a columnist?

No, don't you remember?
