Too Many Husbands Page #4

- Oh, no.

- Well, do as you want.

- Vicky, I love you.

- Henry. Henry, pull yourself together.

You've got to go to the airport

and meet Bill.

- Airport?

- Yes.

You've got to meet him

and tell him about us.

- Let me lie down.

- No, Dad, don't let him.

Now, Henry. Henry, there's nothing to it.

You go to the airport alone.

You take Bill by the arm and you say,

"Look, old man, while you were drowned

a funny thing happened."

- "A funny thing"?

- Well, I don't mean funny.

Now, it'll be easy, dear.

You do it, won't you, please?

- No.

- Henry!

- Dad, make him do it.

- No.

Here I am, a helpless woman.

You mean I have to tell him?

- Yes.

- Yes.

- And I thought I married a man.

- Two men.

All right. I'll go alone.

No, no, no, don't do that.

You're my wife and I have to be with you.

We'll go to the airport together.

We'll face him together while you tell him.

There he is.

Vicky! Darling!

Gosh, you feel good.

A whole year on that island

and all I could think of was you.

But you sure are worth waiting for, honey.

- Hello!

- And Hank, good old Hank.

- How are you, Bill?

- I knew my old pal would be here.

Oh, Vicky.

- Bill.

- Yes, honey?

- My, you look fine.

- You look beautiful yourself.

Hey, let's get home

before somebody spots me.

I got past the reporters

as Bill Smith, fisherman.

Things will be found out soon enough.

- Yes.

- You got your car, Hank?

- Yes.

- Well, what are we waiting for?

Well...

Oh, Vicky.

- Isn't somebody going to say something?

- Say something about what?

I think Henry wants to hear

about your experiences.

Oh. Well, I sure thought I was a goner.

Then I came to on this little island.

I'd show you on the map,

except it isn't there.

- The things I ate.

- Bill, I was all broken up.

Henry was so kind, Bill.

Henry was wonderful.

Oh, sure he was. I always told you.

And to think, Hank,

the first time she met you she said

you made her sick to her stomach.

Bill.

- Did you say that?

- No, I didn't.

But for whatever you've done

while I've been away, Hank,

I don't have to thank you.

A man doesn't have to thank his best friend.

- Bill. Bill, I...

- That's all that's kept me going, Vicky,

just thinking of this moment.

Bill, didn't you ever consider that

a woman might give you up as dead?

Oh, I knew you'd wait.

Say, I had the craziest idea

when I first got to Norfolk.

I thought maybe I wouldn't call you,

just fly to New York and break in on you

in the middle of the night.

Wouldn't that have been something?

Wouldn't that have been something, Hank?

Well, thanks, old man, for meeting me.

Well, that's all right. But, Bill, there's

something we'd better talk about.
