if she found me messing

with one of her girls.

I just like to do a little speculating

now and then. You know what I mean.

Breakfast is ready.

You two get in here before it gets cold.

All right, hold your horses, woman.

We're coming.

-You hungry?

-Yeah.

Wake up, you fine little outlaw

from Arkansas.

Henry Wade, you lecherous old cocksucker.

I told you not to do that anymore.

I'm gonna take it in a little bit right here.

Give it a nice taper

through the shoulders and the back.

That's great.

I like a nice tight fit in the back.

Listen, Walter, I figured since I was in here...

I'd ask you if there's any work here

available in the store.

I mean, I've got some other options...

but I thought I might ask.

I really like this material.

I'll think about it, Sonny.

Time for a career change?

Oh, my God, Sonny?

When did you get in town?

-Mr. Phillips, will there be anything else?

-No, that's it.

This will be ready in a couple of days...

and I'll wrap up

those other items you wanted.

Okay, thank you.

Yeah, I just got back yesterday.

It's been so many years since I've seen you.

Where did you go?

I was in the Army.

Yes, I remember now. Somebody told me.

Sonny, what in the world

would you wanna go join the Army for?

I don't think you'd understand.

I'm terribly sorry.

Sonny Phillips, this is Catherine Putnam.

Hi. Nice to meet you, Catherine.

It's a pleasure.

Sonny is a dear old friend of mine.

-I'm sorry. It's Meg.

-How's your husband, Meg?

I traded that old dud in for a new one,

since I've seen you.

I met a very nice, quiet little surgeon...

who's an absolute dear. He really is.

The only trouble is he watches

how much money I'm spending too closely.

I'm sure you'll manage.

I see you still have your taste in clothes.

Are you still...

working?

No.

I'm just here spending

some of my discharge money.

That's a real shame.

What happened? Did the Army break you?

Yeah, I guess.

That'll be $432.82.

Can I help you?

Sonny is the young man

I was telling you about...

who used to spend so much time with me

at the lake.

This is an occasion.

Would you have a drink with us?

-Just a drink.

-A drink, right now?

-Just a drink, you dirty youngster, you.

-Come on.

-Catherine's all right, we can talk.

-No doubt about that.

It's tempting.

Your change.

And I'll let you know if anything changes...

but I don't foresee any openings

in the near future.

Okay, thanks a lot.

Please, just one drink?

-A small drink.

-Come on, be a sport.

I don't know if I can pass this up.

Come on, honey. It's so nice to see you.

Baby, I'm so glad you're home.

Henry is in jail.

He called me about an hour ago.

-What's he in jail for?
