DON:
So what? We put in a call that we're
taking the late train, have supper
at nine o'clock, be in bed by ten.
WICK:
Nothing doing. We're going.
HELEN:
Wick's right. And don't worry about
that empty seat. I'll find myself a
millionaire.
DON:
There. Did you hear her? And now
we'd have to break our necks to catch
the train anyway.
HELEN:
(Looking at her wrist
watch)
Two-twenty.
DON:
See?
WICK:
(Giving up)
All right. Go ahead.
DON:
Wait a minute. I'm not going.
WICK:
Then what are we talking about?
DON:
I want you to go. You and Helen.
WICK:
Me and Helen?
DON:
Yes. That was the idea. Who likes
Brahms, you or I?
WICK:
Since when don't you like Brahms?
DON:
I'll stay right here and finish
packing. Take a little nap maybe.
WICK:
Nonsense. If anybody goes... Helen's
your girl.
There is an exchange of suspicious looks between Wick and
Helen.
HELEN:
There's something in that, Don.
WICK:
What's more, I don't think you should
be left alone.
DON:
I shouldn't?
WICK:
No.
HELEN:
Really, Don.
DON:
Why? I can't be trusted. Is that it?
WICK:
What I meant to say --
HELEN:
Wick.
WICK:
After what Don's been through --
DON:
After what I've been through, I
couldn't go to a concert. I couldn't
face the crowd. I couldn't sit through
it with all those people around. I
want to be alone for a couple of
hours and kind of assemble myself.
Is that such an extraordinary thing
to want?
WICK:
Don't act so outraged, would you
mind?
DON:
All right. Anything else?
HELEN:
Please, boys.
Wick, who has been smoking a cigarette throughout the scene,
throws it out the window. None of the three see, but we do,
that it doesn't fall out the window but ricochets against
the opened casement to the window sill, where it lies
smouldering.
WICK:
Come on, Helen.
HELEN:
You'll stay right here, won't you?
DON:
Where would I go?
HELEN:
Then you'll be here when we come
back?
DON:
I told you I'm not leaving this
apartment.
WICK:
You've told us a good many things,
Don.
Furious, Don takes a bunch of keys from his pocket.
DON:
All right, if you don't believe me,
why don't you take my key and lock
me in like a dog.
HELEN:
(To Wick)
We've got to trust Don. That's the
only way.
WICK:
Sorry, Don.
(To Helen)
Here we go.
HELEN:
So long, Don.
DON:
So long.
HELEN:
(Pulling him by the
lapel)
Bend down.
His face is now close to hers. She kisses him. Wick turns
away. His eyes fall on the cigarette still smouldering on
the sill. He goes toward the window.
Don, held by Helen, watches him tensely. Wick flips the
cigarette into the garden and is about to turn back into the
room when his eyes fall on the cleat and the string. He leans
from the window.
