The Bride Came C.O.D. Page #2

Airflights Incorporated.

No, Mr. Collins didn't come in yet.

I expect him here any minute, though.

What's that you said?

A party of three to Las Vegas and back?

What is it, an elopement?

Yeah, I know it's none of my business,

but for elopements

we supply a box of rice.

Okay, Mr. Keenan. We'll be ready.

- Collins around?

- He flew to Pomona to see a picture.

- Will he have the dough?

- Maybe.

He's got just as much a chance

of winning bank night as the next guy.

- Wise guy.

- Wise guy.

All I say is, the dough isn't on the line

by 12:
00, I grab the plane.

What's the matter with you finance fellas?

Steve paid you 6,500.

Do you have to cut his heart out for a

measly 1,100?

What do you want from me?

I'm not a bad guy.

I go to a movie, a dog gets runned over,

I'm the first guy to cry.

I tell you what.

Any time you feel like getting runned over,

I'll be glad to do the same for you.

- Wise guy.

- Wise guy.

I'm leaving here before we get into a rut.

I must be slipping.

I can't scare Peewee anymore.

Next time you let me bring the ship in.

- Two more flights and you'll solo.

- Oh, no. None of that solo business.

The only reason I took up flying

was to be with you.

- And you have to have a wife and two kids.

- I was so young. It was just mechanical.

But I'm not sorry. They're great kids.

Hi, old-timer. Hiya, sweetheart.

I suppose I shouldn't be seeing you again,

should I?

No, I guess you shouldn't.

- It wouldn't be right, would it?

- Don't think it would.

Picking me up Tuesday

at the regular time?

Half hour earlier.

Thanks for the buggy ride.

"Hello, sweetheart. Hello, old-timer."

Say, when are you gonna get

some new pictures of your kids?

These are two years old.

I like to keep them up to date.

Listen, Steve, I don't like

the use you're making of my wife and kids.

If you don't want to get married,

why don't you be honest

and tell the dames you don't?

- This way's cleaner.

- Why do you have to use my kids?

- Why don't you just make up two kids?

- Well, that would be deceitful.

I'm making sure no dame hooks me

until I have a whole fleet of planes

of my own.

After 12:
00, you won't even have

one plane of your own.

Hinkle was here and he's coming back.

We can't let him do it, Peewee.

It took me 10 years to own that plane.

It'll take him just 10 minutes

to take it away.

But business is picking up.

In a few months I'll be on my feet.

You'd better get used

to the other position.

- Well, can't we talk him out of it?

- He cries when a dog gets run over.

You haven't got a chance.

I'll talk to Charlie at Pacific Airways.

He'll put you on.

What'll you do?

Take a job at the finance company.
