True Confession Page #5

or shall I show you to your room?

What room? Say, what kind

of a place is this anyway?

Your hat.

Is this his office?

Well, doesn't Mr. Krayler

have any other office?

I- I mean, in an office building?

Yes, madame.

Well, where does his secretary

usually do most of her work?

Huh!

Ahh.

Good morning, my dear.

Good morning, Mr. Krayler.

I- I'm late.

Aren't we all?

And you can call me Otto.

After all, an old friend of

the family. Yes, uh, Otto.

You're going to work out all right.

Thank you, sir. If I only knew-

Otto. Otto- if I only

knew how to get started, I-

You're, uh, married, didn't you say? Yes, sir

- Otto.

Uh, what sort of a man is he?

Fine.

How do you mean?

Bring your chair a little closer.

A little closer.

That's better. For instance,

suppose we had some work to do

on a weekend, out of town.

Oh, I couldn't do that.

Everything's all right.

We'll find a way.

Well, well, another day.

Take a letter.

Oh, I can't. Remember?

Oh, that's right.

Do you know any word games

or anything?

No, Sir. But all the while I'm working,

I'm going to be learning shorthand.

I'm gonna get one of those little books with

all the funny markings in it. That's fine.

Maybe if you talk real slow. I think you should

be getting something for your money, don't you?

Yes, indeed.

You're going to like it here, Helen.

And I'm going to like you.

The first thing we must do

is reach an understanding.

You know what I mean? Yes, Otto,

that we understand each other.

That's right. Sit down.

No- No, thanks.

I mean, I'm sitting already.

Oh, that's no way to act.

Oh, come on.

Don't you think we should start

answering your mail or something?

If you'll just go back and read

those letters. Quit following me!

I'm not following you.

Now, don't get excited.

After all, old friend of the family, $50

a week, three hours a day. Stand still!

Now, Helen, nothing's going to happen.

After all, you're new here.

But I've been in business

for 25 years.

Let go of me! I quit!

Helen, we're starting off all wrong.

Uh- Oh! Oh!

I- It's all right. It's my fault.

Well, uh- ooh!

Hey, listen, the next time a guy offers

you $50 a week for three hours work,

five days a week, and you decide that a

new day has dawned for the working girl-

This is it.

Heh, you call that an office?

It's both. He lives here too.

Well, I wouldn't give you a nickel

for the business he does in that layout.

Well, go ahead in and tell him you've

come for my hat, coat and purse.

I'll wait right here.

Oh, is that so?

Listen, I'll do the waiting

right outside the door.

And if you know what's good for you, you'll-you'll just

try and sneak in and get your things without his seeing you.
