The Sound of Fury Page #4

- Oh, Howard.

And we'll throw this piece of junk out!

- Don't be silly.

When we get that TV set, you can have

the whole neighborhood here anytime!

You see, Professor, boogie woogie is

the most scientific of musical forms.

It is the only one that allows the

pianist to keep the music going...

with one hand and

feed himself with the other.

Drinks are on the house!

Don't be shy.

Gil, darling...

Dinner looks beautiful!

You look beautiful...

You smell wonderful.

The phone, darling. It is for Hal.

He can use the alcove extension.

And listen, I heard Nicholas barking

down the street.

Vito must be coming back.

Hal, telephone for you.

Why don't you take it in the alcove?

- Oh, thanks.

Vi, I believe that our great

man is almost here.

Honey, shall I invite him over for the

game tomorrow night?

Oh, Vi.

Why not? If he's such

a mathematical genius,

he ought to be able to play

a little bridge!

Time and Space have met!

Isn't it wonderful what the H-Bomb

has done, Professor?

It's made a scientist almost as

important as a good fullback!

Vito, we thought you were lost.

- My humble apologies.

This rascal was chasing a cat!

Nicholas, I thought I told you to

bring the Doctor straight home.

Don't be too hard on him.

There are magnets stronger than beauty.

In addition to the cat, he met

a lovely French poodle.

That call was from Fowler.

There's been another holdup

out on Highway 101.

Did you tell Chuck

to stop the presses?

I can no longer take a position...

removed from the problems

of everyday life.

There are no ivory towers.

Hal, I can not talk business

on an empty stomach.

Sherry?

A recipe that we got in Rome.

Remember, El Greco's?

Before you go, I'll fix you some of

that polenta. With quail.

I'm grateful for that day you and

your men found me.

First honors, Vito.

- Thank you.

The boy was badly slugged.

Why don't we go down there after the

party? You could do a special feature.

On a holdup?

Plates everybody!

Why not? Remember that

liquor store two nights ago?

And the service station stickup

the day before?

Two petty thefts, Hal. Don't try

to talk us into a crime wave.

Maybe we're in one and don't know it.

A crime wave would help our circulation.

Wait a minute, Vi. That's not enough

for you. You're growing girl!

My diet!

I thought you hired me to write

a column, not general news.

Maybe a bonus would interest you?

A bonus?

Did you mean money?

That might make a petty robbery

very significant!

Say you'll do it for me, Gil. You've

got a big following in this town.

With your byline on a special series,

I could really sell some papers!

What are you two plotting? - The boss
