The Three Faces of Eve Page #4

- What about Ralph?

- You don't think l'd marry ajerk like that?

And Bonnie isn't your child?

Not while l'm in my right mind she isn't.

Boy, what fat books.

Hey, is this radio working?

You got a back door to your office.

We could get out without him seeing.

- Will you excuse me?

- You're not gonna tell him, are you?

l'll be right back. You wait here.

It's up too high.

Excuse me. l'll be right back.

Is that her?

- Ever had a case of multiple personality?

- No.

Do you think you'd recognise one

if you saw one?

I don't know. l'm not so sure.

But I can tell you this, l'll bet ya

I can spot a fake as far as I can see one.

- Whom do you suspect?

- Mrs White. Mrs Eve White.

- That dreary little woman?

- That's the one.

(music louder)

Everything all right?

Oh, hi. Got your buddy with you, huh?

- May I turn this off?

- Oh, sure. What did I do, scare you?

- You remember Dr Day?

- Sure. Hi.

- How are you, Mrs White?

- That's what you think.

- This is Miss Eve Black, Doctor.

- How do you do, Miss Black?

How do you do?

- You don't mind talking to both of us?

- The more there are, the better I like 'em.

And you say you are not Mrs White now?

OK, you wanna hear it again?

I am not Mrs White. My name is Eve Black.

Then how does it happen

that you remember meeting me?

Cos I know everything that happens to her.

She don't know anything about me,

but I know everything about her.

Everything I want to, anyway.

There's some things about her l'm not

interested in, like thatjughead out there.

Mr White, she means.

And the thing is, she don't really

even care anything about him.

She tells herself she does

cos she thinks she ought to.

Don't think I never told her so, too.

- What did you tell her?

- Leave the so-and-so.

Take the kid and beat it.

What can he do about it?

- How did you tell her?

- I yelled at her.

I don't know whether she heard me or not,

but I really hollered at her.

Boy, I can tell you, though,

l'm gonna fix his wagon.

I ain't gonna go through

the rest of my life with that creep.

And you say that Bonnie is not your child?

Oh, now, Doctor. How could I have a child

if l'm not even married?

You tryin'to insinuate somethin'?

- You mean Ralph never made love to you?

- Boy, l'd like to see him try.

Where were you, then,

when Bonnie was born?

It looks like to me that's your problem,

Doctor, not mine.

Don't you have any fans in this office?

It's hot in here.

How are you gonna fix Ralph's wagon?

- You really wanna know?

- I do indeed.

l'm gonna come out and l'm gonna stay out.

- Were you ever on the stage, Miss Black?

- No, not exactly on the stage.

But I sang in nightclubs, a lot of 'em.
