No Man of Her Own Page #5

I told you that.

Oh, I forgot to mention. My father

is a farmer with a long beard.

Well, of course you knew that.

Bring the Brooklyn Bridge over.

I'm sure you can sell it to him.

You are a salesman?

Mmm-hmm.

Oh, really?

Oh, no, no, no,

I was only kidding.

Say, look. See you at 9:00.

Sure of yourself, aren't you?

I wouldn't be

if I was sure of you.

I have a date.

I have a steady date every

night, my bed. That's Glendale.

Ra-ra-ra.

It's the freshest specimen that

ever stepped in this library,

and he asked me

to go out with him.

Is he looking?

No.

You sure?

Uh-huh.

You do want to go out with

him, don't you, Connie?

He is nice, isn't he?

He's reading now.

Make sure.

He's reading.

He has lovely dimples,

hasn't he? Did you notice?

And when he smiles at you...

Oh, go ahead, Connie.

No, I'm not gonna fall for

the first stranger in town.

And anyway, you have to play

hard to get with him.

That's not the way I'd treat my young

man. I've always been frank and aboveboard.

You're such a nice person,

Mattie.

Oh, I know his breed. He's so

used to having girls say yes.

No, Mattie, the girl who lands him will

have to say no and put an anchor on it.

But, isn't it tough when

all you can think of is yes?

(CLOCK CHIMING)

Where do you suppose

he's gone?

Oh, out, I guess.

What did you expect?

Oh, well, will you turn

the lights out back there?

You scared me.

It's time to go.

We're closing.

It's 9:
00.

What do you do

with all the hearts you break?

MATTIE:
Connie.

Connie, are you ready?

MATTIE:
Connie!

Just a minute.

You shouldn't have done that.

I must go and you must go.

See you in church.

(ORGAN MUSIC PLAYING)

ALL:
(SINGING)

Praise God from whom

All blessings flow

Praise Him, all creatures

Here below

(CHUCKLES POLITELY)

I'll bet Mr. Stewart doesn't hear any better

preaching in New York than he heard today.

I am afraid you are right,

Mrs. Randall.

And thanks for

inviting me over.

You're quite welcome.

This ice cream is cream. Not the

skimmed milk you get in the city.

You don't have to

tell me that.

Would you like some cake?

No, thank you.

Ma, I just can't make my ice

cream and cake come out even.

Oh, Willie. He's just a boy.

What time you go

up the lake, Connie?

Going on a trip somewhere?

Yeah, she's going up to Lake

Inspiration with Charlie.

Oh, I see.

The Get Together Club

goes up there every year.

It's just a little crowd.

Dancing, running,

games, you know.

Sounds interesting. I'd...

Oh, no. You wouldn't like it.

Oh, no, you wouldn't

like it at all.

Of course not.

It's too Ionesome. No subway, no elevator.

None of the rush and noise of the city.

Just pale moon. Quiet lake.
