in the same bed

with Lowell Thomas.

I'll have to fix that.

Gee, I'm sticky

from the insect spray.

There's a faucet

up by the mint bed.

Could I ask you a favor?

Do you mind if I jump

in the pool?

I don't think you'd better.

Just for a second.

-But you don't have a suit.

With pants and all.

-I'd rather you wouldn't.

I'll be dry in a second.

Ooh, it's warm.

It's like a bath, come on in.

Oh, no thanks.

I'd get my hair wet.

Well, you got a cap.

Get a cap.

Oh, it's too much trouble.

Well, you got your suit on.

How do you know?

Well, your slacks

are kind of tight.

Use this towel.

Oh.

You keep yourself

in good condition.

Well, I guess I'm what you call

the physical type-

Not much up here.

What's your hurry?

Oh, I have housework to do.

You do all your own housework?

We used to have a maid

but there really isn't

enough work

for a fulltime servant.

Besides, I kind of like it.

How about a butler?

'Wu?

Could make your bed.

Take care of your roses.

My husband would love that.

Ann.

How did you know my name?

I looked on the steering post

in your car.

I found one of your gloves.

I like the perfume.

I want to keep it.

How much do I owe you?

Ann.

I'm sorry.

I know I ought not to have.

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to.

It doesn't matter.

I wasn't mad at you.

You came to the door

and you said, like,

how there was no work.

And I thought you were stuck up.

But I can't be nice

to every stranger

that rings the bell.

You don't have to put them down.

I didn't mean to put you down.

I'm a plain working man.

You don't know what it means

to a guy like me

to take a dip

in a private pool.

I understand.

You don't have

to feel sorry for me.

I make a living.

I didn't mean it that way.

Why should you care?

You don't know me.

What is your name?

Ben Saunders.

Do you live near here, Ben?

I sleep in my truck.

Let me give you some money.

I can't. -I get an allowance as

regular as clockwork every week.

I can't.

Don't you understand?

Will you let me lend it to you?

Will you let me come back

and work it off?

We'll see. You wait here.

Will 10 be enough?

-I changed my mind.

I can't take it.

-Oh, don't be silly.

You've got to find

a place to sleep.

I already know one.

In the back of your truck?

Next door.

Next door?

It's empty.

You can't go in there.

For one night.

You'd get caught.

Can I stay?

I'd have to tell my husband.

I guess you would.

Well, goodbye.

Bye.

I've told you she's yours. I

wouldn't touch her with a bamboo rake.

Oh, come on, cut it out.

She's a cow. She's got cow

eyes and she gives butter.

And if I wanted her for myself,,

I could've had her in the garage

or on the patio or I could've
