Wife Vs. Secretary Page #5

---

I haven't time to be.

Besides, if I were,

I'd destroy the very thing Van loves in me.

I try to make his life smooth and pleasant,

the very opposite of all that back there.

The worry, action, achievement.

I want to be a refuge from all that.

To laugh, or just be quiet with him.

There's no room for jealousy there,

is there?

I see your point of view, dear,

and it's all very modern and noble.

Nevertheless,

I advise you to get rid of Miss Wilson.

Never.

She's as important to him downtown,

as I am to him uptown.

Well, she's not the sort of person

I'd care to see alone

- in a telephone booth with my husband.

- Why, Mimi!

Oh, you're terrible.

Van doesn't know

any other woman's alive.

His father's son?

Well, Mr. Paper-reader, why don't you

drink your soup with a straw?

Oh, don't be silly.

How you gonna get the vegetables up?

Caught red-handed. A pickpocket.

Why, I didn't know it was your pocket, sir.

I was just walking down the street...

Outside, young lady.

- Show it to me now, Dave.

- Not until after the show.

- Patience, woman, patience.

- Well, what's the matter? What is it?

Well, he has something to show me.

This is his idea of wearing the pants

in the family.

If and when

you ever trick me into marrying you, dear,

I'll wear the pants.

- What's that?

- Nothing.

- I said nothing.

- Well, say it a little louder, dear,

and stop hinting.

All you have to do to get a divorce

in this family, is just say the word.

I know. For the last 10 years,

I've been trying to find that word.

Hello?

Yes, Mr. Stanhope.

Holy mackerel, I've never known it to fail.

Yes, she's here, Mr. Stanhope.

- Hello?

- Hello, Whitey.

Do you remember

if the 240,000 circulation included

mailing to newsstands

that didn't have delivery?

I don't think so, V.S.

I think they counted with the newsstands.

Oh, I think I'd better go over

the whole thing again, Whitey.

You run down to the office

and get me the folder.

It's in the small safe. Thanks.

You weren't doing anything tonight,

anyway, were you?

Well, that's perfectly all right, V.S.

If I leave here now,

I'll be there within an hour.

All right.

Well, that's great. Just great.

It may be your idea of a good job,

it's not mine.

You know, if that's happened once,

it's happened 20 times.

I never saw anybody so inconsiderate.

Doesn't it ever occur to him that you

might be wanting to go out

for a good time or something?

Now, Dave,

he's got important things on his mind.

If you'll just give me my ticket

to the theater,

I'll be there as soon as I can,

and then you can tell me what I've missed.

I'm not going out with a girl,

I'm going out with a doctor.

Except, Stanhope gives birth
