Strictly for the Birds Page #3

I'm sorry to bother you, but...

Yes?

The man at the post

office sent me.

He said you could

tell me the name

of the Brenner girl.

Cathy?

The one who lives in the

white house across the bay?

That's the one. Cathy Brenner.

He seemed sure it was

either Alice or Lois.

Which is why the mail

never gets delivered to

the right place in this town.

I'm sorry.

Smoke?

Thank you.

Did, uh... you want to see

Cathy about something?

Well, not exactly.

Oh.

Are you a friend

of Mitch's?

No, not really.

I've been wanting a cigarette

for the last 20 minutes.

I just couldn't convince

myself to stop.

This tilling of the soil

can become compulsive, you know.

It's a very pretty garden.

Oh, thank you.

Well, it's something to do

in your spare time.

There's a lot of spare time

in Bodega Bay.

Are, uh, you planning

on staying long?

No, just a few hours.

Then you're leaving

after you see Cathy.

Well, something

like that.

I'm sorry.

I don't mean to sound

so mysterious.

Actually, it's

none of my business.

Well, I better be

on my way.

Thank you

very much.

Not at all.

Did you drive up from San

Francisco by the coast road?

Yes.

Nice drive.

It's very beautiful.

Is that where

you met Mitch?

Yes.

Yes.

I guess that's where

everyone meets Mitch.

Now you sound a bit mysterious,

Miss Hayworth.

[Chuckles]

Do I?

I don't mean to.

Actually, I'm an open book,

I'm afraid.

[Chirping]

Or, rather, a closed one.

- Oh, pretty. What are they?

- Lovebirds.

I see.

Good luck, Miss Daniels.

Thank you.

Can I get out this way?

[Engine Starts]

Go right around.

It'll take you back

to the main road.

Thank you.

[Engine Revs]

[Engine Starts]

[Seagulls Cawing]

Do you have a boat

for Miss Daniels?

Yes, ma'am.

It's the one

right below.

[Chirping]

[Motor Starts]

[Motor Stops]

[Motor Cranking]

[Motor Starts]

Are you all right?

Yes, I think so.

What made it do that?

That's the damnedest thing

I ever saw.

It seemed to swoop down

at you deliberately.

Oh, you're bleeding too.

Let's take care of that.

Okay?

That's a girl.

Come on.

What happened, Mitch?

Gull hit her.

A gull?

Oh. Let's try

up at the restaurant,

all right?

Might need a tetanus shot.

I had a booster

before I went abroad last May.

[People Chattering]

What happened?

Hello, Deke.

Young lady cut herself.

Shall I call a doctor?

I don't think it's

that serious. Let's see.

Helen, get some cotton

and antiseptic.

Um, you cut yourself

outside, miss?

Don't worry, Deke.

She did it in a boat.

I had a man trip and fall in

the parking lot once. Sued me

before I could bat an eyelash.

I don't think Miss Daniels

is gonna sue anybody.
