Other Men's Women Page #5

Now you're kidding me.

No, I ain't kidding.

I'm on the level.

Do I really mean that much to you?

Say, I think you're the swellest girl

in the world.

Oh, you're a dear.

And just for that,

I'm gonna give you a little kiss.

Don't. we mustn't.

what?

Kiss each other.

Do you love me, Lily?

Yes.

Say it.

I love you.

Oh, I can't. I must...

Lily...

No, sweetheart. No, no.

Bill.

Yes, honey.

what are you thinking about?

About Jack.

I wish I knew

what we could do about him.

Do you know?

No.

I don't know what we could say

except that...

...we didn't mean to fall in love

with each other.

I thought...

I thought all the time I loved him.

And I do.

But it's not the same.

we've got to tell him the truth, Lily.

Oh, no.

we've got to play fair.

It'd almost kill him if he knew. I couldn't...

But he's got to know some time.

Oh, I know, but...

Now, get this straight.

when a guy's a pal of mine,

I don't play around with his wife.

I'm sorry, Lily.

I don't know what made me say that.

That's all right.

I deserved it.

No, you don't.

You haven't done anything wrong.

I kissed you.

Oh, but look.

The first time it happened,

we didn't mean to start anything.

Only a minute ago,

all three of us were playing together.

Happy as a bunch of kids.

Now only one of us is happy.

And that's because he doesn't know

about the other two.

we're not happy.

There's no way we can be.

So let's at least keep him happy.

That's kindergarten bluff, Lily.

You've got to tell a good guy the truth

no matter how much it burns him up.

But do you think the three of us

could go on living under the same roof?

why not?

Because I love you, Lily.

And I want you.

If you're here near me, I'll take you.

Do you understand? I'll take you.

Oh, Bill.

You love me. You said so.

we belong to each other,

and that's the way it's gonna be.

I'll wait for you.

But Jack's got to know about it,

and he's got to know right now.

JACK:

I got two Sunday papers.

Might as well have enough to go around.

Here's your gum.

BILL:

Okay, Jack.

Here's your ice cream, hon.

Strawberry and chocolate.

Fine, put it on ice, will you?

Yeah.

Gee, it's hot. I heard they had

a big rainstorm over east of us last night.

Did they?

Yeah, we'll probably run into it tomorrow

on our way out.

Hear that, fella?

what's he doing?

why, I don't know.

I'll go and see.

Oh, dear, carry in the roast for me,

will you?

Sure.

what's the matter, hon?

You're as white as a ghost.

Oh, I'm all right, really.

Here, now, hold the platter

while I dish up this meat and potatoes.

Let's get them on the table right away.

what's the rush?

why, everything's ready, dear.
