Moonlight Mile Page #3

---

Never assume.

lt's the first rule of business.

You saw the sales girl.

She looked stoned.

I just -- I-I-I-I-I don't want

everyone getting them now.

Not now.

lt'd just be too uncomfortable.

Sure.

I gotta be somewhere

at 9:
00,

and then the, uh --

the D.A. at 11:
00.

The D.A.

-- Ben.

-- Hmm?

I got it.

You think --

Could you get over there?

-- No problem.

-- Thanks, Joe.

lt's just -- it's just it --

it -- it --

it would just be

too uncomfortable.

You know, there's a drawer

at the bottom of the bureau.

lf you want, I could maybe

make some space for you.

Oh, no, no, no.

Ben, Ben, it's fine.

Mornin'!

# Meet me in the morning #

# 56th and Wabasha #

# Meet me in the morning #

# 56th and Wabasha #

Whoa!

Ray!

Ray, off!

Come on, Ray-Ray!

Nice kitty! Nice kitty!

Nice kitty!

Okay, nice kitty!

Sorry about that.

Ray likes boys.

a lot.

He gonna live?

He's never moved that fast

in his entire life.

Ray doesn't get

much company.

So, what can I do you for?

Go ahead, Ray.

Yeah, I, uh --

I, uh --

-- Hi.

-- Hi.

Um.

This is kind of strange,

but, um, I think you have

some mail here.

You think?

I mean that I'm --

that I'm looking for.

Anything special you had

in mind?

Wedding invitations.

You want 'em back?

I do.

What, did you forget to lick

the stamps?

All right.

Well, you coming or not?

Come on.

Stay.

You all alone here?

Why, what'd you have

in mind?

Oh, no, I --

District manager's been talking

since Christmas

he's got subs coming in.

I think he forgot.

So it's just me

and the Bettys for now.

They're out on route.

We take turns --

butt behind the counter,

butt behind the wheel.

Except everyone seems

much happier

when I'm not behind

the wheel, so.

You're not from around here.

Boy shortage.

You notice.

So what,

you 4-F, flunk your medical?

Draft dodger? What?

I've never been called up.

Really?

You got kind of a slouch

going there.

Oh, it's, uh --

it's the shoes.

So now what -- now that you've

blown off the wedding?

I'm just trying to collect

my invitations.

Sure.

Whatever you want.

But you better take 'em off.

I hate it when you leave

scuff marks.

So, did you ever see

that "Lucy" episode

where she's in this big vat

stomping grapes, making wine?

I feel like that every time

I climb in.

I pretend I'm in ltaly.

Feeling ltalian?

Uh, not just yet.

Give it a sec.

Okay, any particular color

we're looking for?

Uh, pink, I think.

Really? Your choice?

Scented?

Hey, we get 'em all in here.

Hello.

Look familiar?

How many?

All right.

38 to you, rest to me.

You ready?

lt's okay.

Oh, thank God!

Joe, thanks for doing this.

I couldn't stand

the painter up.
