Man-Proof Page #3

Synopsis: Mimi has tried everything to become the bride to Alan, but he chooses Elizabeth instead. The ironic part is that Mimi's mother writes romance novels and neither one has had any luck with men. So Mimi decides to get a job as an illustrator at the New York Chronicle where her friend Jimmy works. When Alan and Liz return from their honeymoon, Alan wants to keep Mimi at his side, and Mimi has no objections - in the beginning.

Will you go now, darling,

Please?

All right, I'll go,

But very reluctantly.

Oh, alan...

Uh-huh.

Uh, did you hear

About mimi?

A little, yes.

Oh, I'm so sorry.

Is someone looking after her?

She's all right.

It's a funny thing.

I...

I thought I'd be gloating

Over her today, but...

I'm not doing

Any gloating...

Not with those eyes

Looking at me.

She'll get over it,

Darling.

Well, I'm glad

She's doing the getting.

And now that goes

For you, too.

You get out of here.

We've got to hurry.

Talk to me through the door. All right.

But don't you say

Anything delightful

Unless you lock this door.

Hello, mimi.

Been looking for you.

Have you?

I'm sorry about that crack

I made downstairs.

I was trying to be smart.

It wasn't so hot.

Oh, that's all right.

No, no, it wasn't.

The losing lover

Must be a lovely loser.

Well, you're lovely enough,

Mimi.

Sure.

That's why you married me.

Where are you going

On your honeymoon?

We don't know yet.

Good place.

Say, it is at that,

Isn't it, huh?

Boat someplace, I guess.

Uh-huh.

Big boat?

Oh, I guess so.

You know how we'd have gone

On our honeymoon, alan?

No. How?

Rowboat.

A rowboat?

Say, that would have been fun,

Wouldn't it, huh?

Yeah.

Wouldn't it?

But, you know, you'd have

Had to do the rowing.

Yeah.

Only we wouldn't

Even had any oars.

No oars?

Oh, gee.

No oars.

We'd just sit on the sea.

Uh-huh.

And then a yacht would come

Along and run into us.

And the yacht would sink,

And then they'd try

To get on our boat,

And we'd just leave them.

How would we leave them

Without any oars?

Oh. We had an engine

All the time.

No?

Say, I - I

Must be a little -

Listen, mimi, don't you

Think you better blow?

Yeah.

Hmm.

I get you.

Congratulations.

Thanks, mimi.

And I do hope

You'll be very happy.

I know you do, dear.

And you will.

She's worth marrying.

That job her father's gonna

Give you is worth a million.

The wine is a funny fellow,

Isn't he?

Imagine you saying

A thing like that.

Oh.

Oh, I'm not a nice girl,

Alan.

I tried every trick in the bag

To be the bride.

But I'm this nice.

I'm perfectly willing

To warn you -

When you come back...

I wouldn't have anything to do

With a girl like me

If I were you.

I'd keep the seven seas

Between us

And wish there were eight.

Oh.

Oh!

Oh.

It's you, mimi.

It's all right.

It's just me wishing you

Goodbye and good luck.

Thank you, mimi.

That's sweet of you.

Gee, you're pretty.

So am I.

How about some coffee?

No, coffee

Always makes me sleepy.

Give it to jack.

Three columns, rush.

What is it?

I don't know.

Hello?

Oh, hello, meg.

Jimmy,

Mimi isn't home yet.

Where do you think
