Pillow Talk Page #3

- Jonathon, I don't love you.

That's absurd.

I'm young, rich, and healthy.

And I'm very good-looking.

I've got everything.

- lncluding 3 ex-wives.

Oh, that's what it is.

Oon't hold it against me. I was just

revolting against my mother with them.

I'm trying to work it out

why I dislike her so.

I've been in therapy for 2 years now.

- And? - It's perfectly healthy.

He dislikes her as much as I do,

and he's from Vienna.

We'll go to Mexico.

I've never been married in Mexico.

I just don't love you.

- How do you know?

Love isn't an opinion,

it's a chemical reaction.

We've never even kissed.

They didn't hit

the moon with the first shot either.

Oh Jonathon.

I guess that's what I want.

To hit the moon.

Well ...

- I'll tell you what,

let's have dinner

and we can try another countdown.

Can't do it. I have a

housewarming for one of our clients.

I'll call you tomorrow.

If I can ever get through.

Call between the half-hour and hour.

- Why?

I arranged a cease-fire.

- Marry me. You'll get tons of lines!

I'd better leave.

That could sweep a girl off her feet.

Hi, Alma.

Any calls?

Shhh. It's him.

Mr. Allen, you're on my half-hour.

Party pooper.

Hello?

- Never do that again.

We had an agreement.

You were on my time.

So I overlapped by a few minutes.

What can I do when someone calls me?

Be as rude as you?

Oo you have anything else to say?

- Yes. Get off my back.

Stop living vicariously

in what you think I do.

The bakery has lots of warm rolls.

Oon't press your nose to the window.

Come in, Jonathon. It's open.

- Hi, Brad.

Got any more songs ready.

- Almost.

Fine. Let's hear them.

Not now. I'm in a hurry.

I'm putting up

200,000 dollars for this show.

We've got a theater deadline.

- You're hobbing me. - Oh, am l?

I don't know. Money seems to have lost

its value these days.

With 200,000 dollars, my grandfather

cornered the wheat market.

Today, you can't scare songwriters

with it. - That's inflation for you.

Pour yourself a scotch.

Thanks.

You're prejudiced against me

because I'm part of a minority group.

What minority group?

Millionaires. You outnumber us,

but you'll never get us.

We'll fight for our rights.

And we've got the money to do it.

You sound absolutely bitter.

You don't know

what this show means to me.

We went through college together.

You worked your way through.

You're an important songwriter now.

You've had some Broadway hits.

You started out with nothing

and you've made it far.

I started out with 8 million dollars,

and I've still got 8 million dollars.

I just can't seem to get ahead.

Who's the girl?

- What girl?

Come on, you can't kid me.

I've been through 3 marriages
