Hanging drapes. Oh,

you mean Wheeler's dame.

She's sitting over there

staring at the wall.

There's a little nurse

next door. Always busy.

Hasn't stopped

moving for a minute.

Hello. What's holding you up?

Where are you?

At the bowling alley.

Where else?

Don't tell me you

forgot about it?

I'm sorry, Rick,

I did forget about it.

I woke up this morning with a fat headache.

I think I'd better

skip it today, huh?

Sure.

Brew yourself some thick black

coffee. I'll see you tonight.

Right.

Why don't

you sit down?

Give your feet a rest.

I'm all right.

Are you?

What do you

mean by that?

You've been looking kind of

bad the last couple of nights.

Trouble sleeping

daytimes?

Yeah, yeah, the... So many

kids in the neighborhood.

The minute I get home, take a big

double shot, and wham, I'm asleep.

I'll have to

try that.

Why don't you go down and relieve Rick?

Right.

But why can't

I go up to the...

Please. Thanks a lot for the ride

home, but I've got to get upstairs.

But what's your hurry? It's early yet.

I'm awfully tired.

Uh, thanks anyway.

Now wait a minute.

Look, why don't you go up

and get out of that uniform,

and we'll go out and

have a drink some place.

Some other time. Good night. No.

Now just a minute.

Give me back my purse.

I'll give it to you

when you come down. Okay?

Now you're being very

childish. Give it back.

No, you're not going to get it. Hey.

No, I said.

Forget it. It's not worth

it. Now wait a minute.

You're going to come down...

The lady said good night.

I guess you

didn't hear.

Why don't you mind your

own business, buddy?

Now give the lady back

her purse and take a walk.

Look, chum, I don't

think it's any of your...

Be a nice fellow and

catch yourself some air.

Thank you.

Very much.

It was a pleasure.

You did that like... As if

you'd done it before a few times.

I was a bouncer once,

a long time ago.

Maybe I should

learn how it's done.

It might

come in handy.

Wouldn't it be simpler

just to avoid that type?

I really am grateful for what you did.

Never know for sure.

Some women like that kind.

Oh, well I don't.

Not that it matters, but I

didn't have a date with him.

I'm a nurse, and he goes with a

friend of mine at the hospital.

He offered me a lift home, and

I made a mistake and accepted it.

You don't have to

explain it to me.

Oh, no, it's

just that I...

I guess I didn't want you

to have a bad opinion of me.

Don't ask me why.

All right, I won't.

Shouldn't I offer you a cup

of coffee or something?

It seems the least

I could do.

After you learn

that hammer lock.

I won't need it. My

roommate hasn't left yet.

She's a nurse, too.
