One Girl's Confession Page #5

Synopsis: Another of the "Fate and Irony" films from director-writer-producer-actor Hugo Haas but this one has less hair-shirt torment than most of his offerings, although his camera, as usual, lingers provocatively on the contours of the leading lady and, in this case, the leading lady is more than well-contoured. Mary Adams works in a tawdry waterfront restaurant where the owner not only maltreats her, he also cheated her father out of a fortune years ago. The owner acquires $25,000 in an illegal transaction, which Mary promptly steals, hides, confesses her crime and serves a short sentence. Freed, she goes to work in a restaurant owned by Dragomie Damitrod, and when he gets into trouble over a gambling debt, she offers to help him by telling him where the $25,000 is hidden, and will loan him what he needs. But circumstances indicate he has stolen all of the money, so she clouts him on the head, killing him. She then learns he didn't steal the money, digs it up and donates it to an orphanage,

Now, Smooch, you know you're my only one.

You must have tried already

and she told you off.

What a clever girl! You know, I adore you!

-You know what you are?

-No foul language in my place.

-Good night, Mary. Good night.

-Good night, Bill.

You left some dishes there.

Mary, why are... Why don't you go home?

-Well, I didn't know. I thought that...

-Go home, sure. Good night.

-Good night.

-Good night, darling. Have nice dreams.

And include me, occasionally.

I'm sorry. I didn't know it was you.

Why didn't you say something?

Say something?

You didn't give me a chance.

Am I glad it's you.

Well, I knew I was a lady-killer, but

I didn't expect to make such a hit with you.

Say, how come...

I mean, what are you doing here?

Waiting for you. Took a chance.

Let's go up and sit

and watch the ocean for a while, huh?

Gee, you gave me a scare!

I can't understand you. What's the matter?

You afraid of the streets at night?

Maybe I'd better pick you up every night.

I won't charge you for it.

It's nothing.

I'm just a little bit edgy, but I'll get over it.

I like boats.

-I like that sound.

-Yeah, that's my language.

You know, sometimes

when I'm out on the open sea,

I don't hear anything else for days.

That must be wonderful!

Away from the world.

It's a bit lonesome, sometimes.

Hey, why don't you come out with me

your next day off? You'd love it.

-Do you go out there for fun, or...

-I should say not. It's my business.

I sell fish to all these gents around here.

Does it pay?

It's a clean business. Lots of water.

I just got a cranky old boat now,

but I put in for a loan, and when I get it,

I'm going to start really big.

-What loan? What do you mean?

-A bank loan I applied for.

Gonna get new equipment,

high-powered motor boat.

You know, I can make $700 or $800 a month,

just like that.

How much did you...

I mean, how much of a loan do you need?

You considering financing me?

Sure. Just a minute, here's my contribution.

-What kind of a joke's this?

-It's no joke. It's your quarter.

-You left it on the table.

-Now, wait a minute. I was a customer,

you waited on me.

It's the usual thing to leave a tip.

I know. I'm not angry. It's just that, well,

suddenly I felt that I couldn't take it.

Not from you. Please, take it back.

Well, that can only mean that

you consider me more than a customer.

-No, don't.

-Why? Somebody else?

No, not somebody, something.

I can't tell you.

I don't want to get involved, not now.

Maybe someday I'll tell you.

You know you lied to me, don't you? You

said there was somebody waiting for you.

Well, weren't you?

I said no.

He's nice.

His eyes are so honest and his voice, soft.
