Old Acquaintance Page #3

What are you shushing me for?

Now, honey, you know the doctor said

you shouldn't excite yourself.

That's true.

I mustn't.

But after I'd gone to all this trouble.

Look.

Look.

- These cost 60 cents.

- Oh, well, Millie, that's...

That's terrible.

What's that?

She's here!

You... You...

Now, Millie.

- You!

- Millie! Millie, Millie.

Millie, Millie, wait a minute. Wait!

Oh, where's your sense of humor?

Oh. Never a dull moment.

Same old Millie.

Where are you going?

Oh, I'm sorry things didn't work out.

I still think it was a good idea.

- What happened to you?

- To tell you the truth, I was scared.

I don't blame you.

What did she mean,

I look as if I didn't shave?

Well, don't let that worry you.

I like girls who don't shave.

- She sounded as if she meant it.

- Yeah, I'm afraid she did.

I never thought she'd take it that way.

What do you think we ought to do?

Well, I guess we'd better think

of the next generation.

- Shall I go up?

- Oh, please do. I'd appreciate it.

Of course.

Oh, Kit, I'll have Bertha

put the food on the table.

Will you tell Millie

her man, Drake, is serving?

Very well, Drake.

- Be sure the port is at room temperature.

- Very good, madam.

Millie.

Millie.

Millie.

Millie, remember you're a hostess,

and you have a guest.

We just thought you'd like to be the

first one to welcome me to your house.

It was only a joke.

Millie.

Millie, have a heart. Let me in.

You never used to mind.

- I can go to a hotel.

- Perhaps you should.

You certainly didn't act

as though you wanted to see me.

Oh, Millie, what could I do?

I couldn't get away from those Amazons.

Everything's gone wrong

from the moment I got up.

I know, Millie, but don't worry about it.

I like your husband.

You were quite right

when you said he was easy on the eyes.

- He's all right, I suppose.

- And you have a lovely home.

It'll do.

And it was awfully nice of you

to go to so much trouble for my visit.

Come on, Millie, give me a little smile.

And it's so wonderful

you're going to have a baby.

Oh!

Oh, I suppose I couldn't even

tell you that myself.

What does it matter, Millie,

as long as it's true and I know?

Well, it matters to me.

But why? What possible difference

can it make who told me?

You don't know what it's like

to plan to do things a certain way...

and then have them

all go exactly the opposite.

- But, of course, I do.

- Oh, I'm really trembling.

It's so unimportant, Millie.

You have so much to be grateful for.

You should be very happy.

Oh, naturally, I'm happy.

You know, Millie, you're a very lucky girl.

I'm not so sure

that I don't envy you just a little.

Kit, I'm really glad you're here.
