While the City Sleeps Page #4

in Vegas, I was taking a swim.

Then I looked up and saw

Dorothy sitting by the pool.

Saw her legs first

- Those beautiful, long legs.

Ha ha ha!

So I made kind of a

rough-And-Ready approach.

I'll never forget what she answered

- Two words.

You know what she answered, Harry?

Uh, no, I don't.

I said, "window shopping?"

Kyne:
yes.

Ha ha ha ha!

Ha ha ha.

So, 3 nights later, I

settled for marriage!

Excuse me, sir.

Hmm?

Mr. Griffith is waiting

on the telephone.

Oh, I'll take it outside.

Excuse me.

Sit next to me, Harry.

Uh-Uh.

I don't like the walls in this room.

Look like they've got sliding panels.

Coward.

He's probably got microphones

behind those pictures, too.

Well, you don't need to kiss me so loud.

When's the next time you

can visit your mother?

Tomorrow night... I hope.

I don't like keeping up

this "mother" business.

Every time I mention mother to Walter,

I can't keep a straight face.

How do you think I stand

in the race, darling?

Oh, far behind, darling, far behind.

Well, darling, I don't think so.

Let Griffith and loving

beat their brains out.

What chance have I got send out

a cameraman? Am I a crime catcher?

Uh-Uh. I'll play it my own way...

as Walter's best friend.

With... Walter's best wife?

I don't want to involve you.

My hero.

You'll never guess who's moved in here-

Harry Kritzer.

Honest Harry?

Very mysterious-

No name on his mailbox.

Hideaway?

Do you suppose old Harry's got a

blonde stashed away on the side?

If he ever sees me, he'll die.

He's right across the hall from me.

Oh?

You know, my darling,

As I was telling you-

Between the fourth

and the fifth highball,

A most intelligent thing to do is

To find out before you get married-

The more the better.

I know quite a lot about you now:

Went to school not far from here;

Played stoop ball against the sidewalls

Of engine company number 18-

I didn't mean that kind of knowledge.

I know you didn't.

I'm just trying to head off a disaster.

You know, you've seen these couples-

There's a big guy, 6 foot 7,

And a itty bitty girl, 4 feet 11.

How do they get along?

She doesn't even know if he likes music,

And she doesn't know if he likes books.

Maybe they get married to find out.

Well, I know about all I'm

likely to find out tonight.

Good night.

Good night.

Take care of yourself.

You know...

you have very nice legs.

Aren't you sweet?

Nice nylon stockings, too.

What holds your stockings up?

There's a lot your mother

should have told you.

I didn't ask my mother.

I asked you.

It's, uh... simply a matter

of scientific research.

Hadn't we said good night

Before you got interested in my nylons?
