Mildred.
What's on your mind, lady?
You know what l think? l think maybe
you had an idea you'd take a swim.
Leave me alone.
lf you take a swim, l'd have
to take a swim. ls that fair?
Because you feel like killing yourself,
l gotta get pneumonia.
Never thought about that, did you?
Go on, beat it now.
Go on home before we both take a swim.
Mildred. What are you doing
around this pigeon perch? Slumming?
-What?
-You sick or something?
No. l don't think so.
lf you're feeling weak, why not come
have a drink on the house? For free.
Come on.
Buying this joint was
the smartest move l ever made.
-Give us a couple drinks, will you, Tony?
-Yes, sir.
l hope you're not sore at me about
this afternoon. Strictly business, see?
lt might just as well have been you
selling me out. You can't expect--
What are you looking
at me like that for?
You can talk your way out of anything.
You're good at that.
ln my business you have to be.
Only now, l'd rather talk myself into
something. Do you know what l mean?
-Still trying?
-lt's a habit.
-l've tried once a week since we were kids.
-Twice a week.
Twice.
Anyhow, l'm still drawing blanks.
straight like that.
l've learned how these last few months.
l've learned a lot of things.
-Like, for instance?
-Like, for instance, that's rotten liquor.
at the beach house, Wally.
-ls that a dare?
-Could be.
All right. l'll take it.
You know l like good stuff.
-Maybe this is my lucky day.
-Maybe.
-Come in.
-How about your husband?
ls he getting broad-minded
all of a sudden?
Monte isn't here. Besides, you can talk
your way out of anything, can't you?
l get by all right.
-You keep saying that.
-Do l?
-Nervous, Wally?
-No, l'm cold. Temporarily.
-lsn't this more comfortable?
-Yeah, l guess so, but....
-What's the matter?
-Nothing.
-You don't seem very happy here.
-l'm happy. Believe me.
lnside, my heart is singing.
-That's pretty corny, Wally.
-Well, l'm a corny guy, but smart too.
-What things?
For instance, l wonder why
you brought me here tonight.
All of a sudden, husband gone,
soft lights, quiet room, opportunity.
-Why?
-Maybe l find you irresistible, Wally.
You make me shiver, Mildred.
You always have.
You make love so nicely.
You always have.
All my life when l've wanted something,
l've gone after it. l get it too.
lt may take me a little time,
but l get what l want.
-Do you? lt must be nice.
-Yeah. lt is.
-l'm sorry.
-Hey, what's the score?
l feel sticky.
l think l'd better change my dress.
Yeah, sure, Mildred.
lt's a good idea.
l'll only be a minute.
-Leave the door open so we can talk.
-l like to hear you talk.
So do l. Something about the sound
of my own voice fascinates me.
l'm glad you're not sore about me
taking you over the hurdles.
l didn't mean to cut up your business.
l just got started and couldn't stop.
l see an angle, l start cutting myself
a piece of throat. lt's an instinct.
With me, being smart's a disease.
Know what l mean?
Hey, Mildred!
Hurry up!
You know l don't like to drink alone.
Say something. This one-sided
conversation is beginning to bore me.
Mildred.
Mildred.
Come on. Don't play any games.
l'm a nice guy up to a certain point,
but don't get me sore. Mildred.
What's the matter?
What kind of business is this, anyway?
Hit that house with the light.
Stop, you!
Okay, okay.
What's the hurry, pal?
-No gun.
-Better take a look in that house.
This guy came through that window
