Mr. & Mrs. Smith Page #3

Synopsis: New York sophisticates David Smith and Ann Smith née Krausheimer have been lovingly and passionately married for three years, or so they believed. They are told individually that due to a technicality - an unresolved municipal and state jurisdictional issue at the time of their supposed marriage - their wedding was not legal, and as such they are not really married. Despite David saying earlier in the day that if he had to do his life all over again that he would not have married her (even though he loves her), it is Ann that decides not to marry David this second time around due to an action, or in reality inaction, by David in reaction to the news of their marriage being invalid. While Ann goes about her life as a supposedly single woman (which includes calling herself Ann Krausheimer), David does whatever he can to win Ann back. But winning Ann's hand may be difficult as part of Ann's new life is dating other men. One of those other men and the most serious is David's best friend an

- I'm here on business.

- How's your wife?

- She's fine, thanks.

- And Bertha?

She's fine, too.

Married to a dairy farmer in Boise.

- Got four children. All girls.

- Good for Bertha.

- Sit down, won't you, and have some tea.

- No, thanks.

I've got a lot to do.

Only dropped in for a second.

Certainly makes me feel good

to meet somebody...

from our neck of the woods.

Say, this is quite a city.

Every night's Saturday.

Annie, you haven't changed a bit

from the little girl...

who used to go running in and out

of the house.

- I'd have recognized you in a minute.

- That's the nicest thing you could say.

I did recognize you.

Only saw your picture

on your husband's desk...

and recognized you right off.

He's a good-looking fellow.

What were you doing with my husband?

You know, Beecham is on the other side

of the river...

and it was always incorporated

in Brender County...

...between 1936 and now,

you're not legally married.

Why, that's terrible.

It's nothing.

I gave your husband his $2 back...

and you don't lose a cent

on the whole thing.

- You just get married again.

- I should hope so.

Mother, don't get excited.

It's really nothing, Mrs. Krausheimer.

Nothing? How does it look?

Don't worry, David will do all right

by your little girl.

- How do you know?

- Because David's already called up...

and wants us to have dinner for two

at Momma Lucy's.

- He'll marry me tonight.

- I hope so.

Can I drive you somewhere?

Thanks, Mrs. Krausheimer.

I'd appreciate it.

Give my love to Bertha

and those four girls.

Thanks. And goodbye, Annie.

I do hope everything will be all right.

- Mother, what are you talking about?

- You call me up if anything happens.

- Lf nothing happens.

- Don't worry, darling.

Goodbye.

Lily?

You know that little bolero suit

that's hanging in the closet?

I was married in that suit,

and I want to wear it tonight.

- Isn't that wonderful?

- You know that better than I do, ma'am.

Get it, Lily.

Inhale, Mrs. Smith.

I can't understand anything hanging

in a closet...

shrinking so much.

- How are you?

- Fine.

Mrs. Smith's here.

Hello, darling.

I thought you weren't going to buy

any more new clothes.

You look kind of cute.

I can't wait to see Momma...

- Do you think we'll get the same table?

- Sure.

It'll be covered in a checkered tablecloth...

and there'll be a candle

in an old Chianti bottle.

And Rosa, the fortune teller.

You know,

I even love the smell of the place.

Either our noses have changed...

or they've built a livery stable

around here somewhere.

It's not exactly Chanel No. 5. Let's go in.

The place has changed a little.

Customers.

Is Momma Lucy here?
