Not Wanted Page #3

A room?

Yeah. There's a pal of mine, name

of Mrs. Nigh over on East Street.

She runs a pretty nice place.

Here.

I had a friend of mine staying there

once. I never caught him scratching.

Mrs. Nigh...

She's a pretty good old dame.

Oh, thanks a lot.

You alone?

I mean, uh...

...you know. No friends or

relatives in town?

Oh, I have some relatives

and some friends but...

But, I don't want to just

barge in on them.

Right. Sure...

Look... I've got an idea.

Don't get me wrong. But, well, if you're

not doing anything tomorrow night. ..

...how about a meal and

a fifty-cent guided tour?

Well, that's awfully sweet

of you, but ..

...why, I have another engagement.

Ah well.

Okay.

But if you're uh...

...at a loose end, well

give me a buzz.

Irving 2-8-4-2. I'm at the Gas-A-Teria centre.

The what? -You know "Gas

You know the "Gas-A-Teria", drive-in.

Serve yourself, sort of thing.

You know - a gas station?

I manage the place.

Hey bud...

Yeah?

Is there any part of this

that will keep until tomorrow?

Oh yeah, sure.

Great.

Sally!

Hello Steve!

I'll bet you're surprised to see me.

Yeah?

What gives?

Oh Steve, isn't it wonderful?

Here we are!

Well! Aren't you glad to see me?

Yeah, I'm glad to see you.

Only isn't this kind of crazy?

What do you mean, Steve?

Well, what's it all about?

I knew it...

I left home.

I couldn't stand things the way

they were anymore.

Wait a minute.

You mean you just pulled up

stakes? For good?

Yes.

What are you going to do?

I'll get a job.

I got a room this morning.

Its only a few blocks from here.

So we'll, we'll be able to see

each other all the time now.

Steve, you.... you don't seem

very glad to see me.

It isn't that Sally.

I just think it was a whacky

thing for you to do.

Leaving your folks,

traipsing way up here.

I'm busy! I've got a million

things to do.

I won't have any time to

spend with you.

Gee Steve...

I'm sorry to bother you.

I just wanted to be with you.

You said, if I ever came this

way, to look you up.

Sally, Sally, don't get me wrong.

I think the world of you.

You know that, but...

...well I didn't expect you.

I made other plans.

I'm up to my ears on the

deal I'm working on.

I just don't have any free

time. That's all.

Look! ..... Look, I tell you what.

I'll call you the first free night I get ..

...and we'll do the town, Okay?

Okay.

I'd make it tonight, but I'm

all jammed up ..

...with some piano arrangements

I'm doing for a guy.

Sure.

Come on. Have a cup

of coffee, huh?

Then I want to play you

something I wrote.

No Steve...

I think I'd better go now.

Well, have a cup of coffee...

No. I really have to go.

Come on Sally. Let's have it.
