Vivacious Lady Page #4

---

Who's that? Helen. His fiancee.

He's a bigamist!

In the second degree.

The old man whipped her up -

blue blood, a thoroughbred.

No, I gotta see. I can't have my

husband engaged to just anybody.

I didn't know you were... Hello,

Dad... Don't tell me, I can see.

Every time I send someone to do

something for me, nothing happens.

I sent you to New

York to get Keith.

I brought him...

Yes, but not that blonde too.

Isn't that the girl you spoke

to me about on the phone?

Yes, that's the girl.

She's a very nice girl, Dad.

When you were 12, I informed you and you

still don't know one woman from another.

We won't discuss it now.

Take Helen home. Yes, but... I have

a meeting at the university. Dad...

Come on, Peter. It isn't your fault.

I wonder if it's inherited

or acquired. What do you mean?

He's allergic to blondes. He

sees one and breaks out in a rash.

The only cure is to send him back

to the African bush. I trust him.

Oh, I just want to thank you for

everything. I had a wonderful time.

It makes me break out in goose flesh.

Did you ever break out? Not lately.

I'll always think of you

as my cousin.

Thank you, again.

Directly home, sir?

Yes...

Here, wipe your mouth

before Joseph kisses you.

Goodbye.

Ada, get some fluffy drapes for

the windows out of the cedar chest.

Get the bedspread for that

bed, get something put here.

I want it to look very feminine.

Very feminine.

PHONE RINGS:

Hello. ..Oh, hel-lo.

Hello, Francie? Are you all right?

What's Keith doing?

He's gone out... No, here he is now.

Oh!

Oh-h!

Oh, Keith, you're wonderful!

'O-h-h!'

Oh, you're a darling! Mmm!

'Mmmm!'

'Hey!' Oh! Oh, hello.

What's going on?

Keith just bought a cake.

What's all that noise?

It's a wedding cake. Listen.

DING-A-LING

Oh. Well, don't cut it

before I get over.

No, we won't. Say, have you told

your mother and father?

No, not yet but they'll take

a reasonable attitude.

Really, Mrs Jones, your baby's no

trouble, she can stay as long as...

Look, darling, couldn't you send

Keith off on an errand for you?

Don't listen.

Come here.

SHE KISSES DOWN THE PHONE

Come on. I'll blow closer.

SHE KISSES FERVENTLY

Oh, just a minute, Keith.

Dad... Finish your conversation.

SQUELCHY KISSES FROM PHONE

I had.

He hung up. Helen probably popped in.

I wouldn't worry about it. Much.

The student council meets

this afternoon.

As a member of the advisory

committee, you'll be there.

Furthermore, we're having

spring difficulties

between male and female

students a little early.

Fraternising in the lockers.

Then there's the Prom.

I want to tell you about that girl.

I'll give no more thought

to your involvement.
