Weird Woman Page #3

Oh, I'd like nothing better.

Now,

about this matter of business.

Well, the student

employment registry

said that you'd asked for Margaret

Mercer to do some work for you.

Yes, I did.

I had her do some research for me

about a year ago, and she was very good.

Well, she's assisting me in the

library now. I've trained her, and...

Oh, but this won't take very long,

and she's familiar with the work.

Well, that's what I wanted

to talk about.

I'm familiar with the

work, too. Let me help you.

Then Margaret's routine

won't be upset.

Thank you, Ilona, but, well,

I'll need someone who can

take shorthand rapidly.

Norman, you don't have

to be afraid of me.

Let me work with you.

Things don't have to be

any different, do they?

But they are different.

I'm married now.

All right, so you're married.

I'll forgive you that.

If you want a little doll that grew

up in the jungle, it's all right.

Can't I get it through your head

that I'm in love with my wife?

You were fond of me once.

Ilona, you're out

of your mind.

Maybe I am. I don't care.

I don't even care anymore what

people are saying. Laughing at me.

Oh, stop it.

I never asked for such devotion

from you, and I don't want it.

Now stop being melodramatic.

Get your things together, Margaret.

You're going up in the world.

Oh, what do you mean,

Miss Carr?

I'm lending you to Professor

Reed, by special request.

You mean, he asked for me? He

wouldn't take no for an answer.

Oh, that's wonderful.

Right away?

Oh, by all means, we mustn't

keep the professor waiting.

You might clear the desk first,

if it's not asking too much.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Oh, I'm so thrilled.

I'll take these books

out to the stack.

Oh, he's so brilliant.

There are some things I cleared

out of the vault for you.

He's so sweet

and so considerate.

And there's something

so dynamic about him.

I'd try to curb my enthusiasm

if I were you.

Men of the world sometimes misunderstand

a pretty girl's hero-worship.

Hey, Maggie. Maggie, I want to see

you... Not now, David, I'm busy.

Well, what's the big rush?

David, I'm going to work for Professor

Reed again. Isn't it wonderful?

Yeah, what's so wonderful about

it? Well, he is, if you must know.

He's the most brilliant man

on the campus.

Present company excepted,

of course.

David, must you be a dope all your life?

"Present company excepted, of course. "

Why, if you lived to be a thousand you'd

never be able to write a book like his.

You'll be lucky if you

can pronounce the words.

But, Maggie...

But, Maggie...

Bye.

Well, how do you like that?

Hello, David.

Oh, hello, Miss Carr.

Sorry, I guess I kind of barged

right in. That's all right.
