You Gotta Stay Happy Page #3

when two people

aren't right.

They just aren't right

and nothing can

make them right.

And it would be wrong

to pretend that we're not

wrong when we are wrong.

So if you don't mind,

I'll just get dressed

and go home.

But I do mind.

You're my wife!

Yes, but it isn't...

I mean, it... Here.

I won't take it!

I won't be humiliated

this way.

Well, I'm sorry, Henry.

You'll have to find

someone else.

Somebody who'll make you

a good wife.

But I've got a wife.

Now, here...

Well, it's no use shouting

and losing your temper!

Now, Henry, you know,

what I'm saying is true,

and that this is

a horrible mistake

for both of us.

No, don't touch me.

Now, you leave me alone.

We couldn't possibly be

more wrong for each other,

and if we go on with this,

well, I know we'll regret it.

What do you

expect me to do?

Tip my hat and say,

"It was nice knowing you,

drop in again sometime"?

What kind of a man

do you think I am?

Well, I don't know.

You're going to sit

right down here

and act like

a sensible person, Diana.

No, I'm not.

Oh, yes, you are!

I'll call for help.

You'll call for help?

Do you think anyone's going

to help a wife run away

from her husband?

I'm the one they'll help.

Now, Henry... Now, Henry...

Look. Will you, for heaven...

Excuse me.

I'm terribly sorry.

Hey!

Oh, just a moment, sir.

I'm looking for my wife,

a small, blonde woman.

I thought maybe in the...

Have you seen her?

No. If I do,

I'll tell her you've

already had your dinner.

Thank you for coming

to my rescue.

I always dreamed of someone

defending my honor,

but you've gone

to bat twice tonight.

Once.

This time I'm just looking

for a little peace and quiet.

Well, thank you for letting me

come in here, anyway.

I was in terrible trouble.

You were?

Well, do you want me

to call the police?

Oh, no, please don't.

That would just make

matters worse.

It would, huh?

Definitely.

Who is this guy,

anyway?

That's a man I know...

He's a friend of the family.

I've known him

quite a while and...

Well, I got rather

involved before I knew

I was getting involved.

It's a little hard to explain.

Well, I don't think

it'll be necessary

for you to explain it.

It's an old story.

It is?

Oh, sure.

Usually it goes like this.

Young girl comes

to the big city...

You're probably

from out of town

someplace, huh?

Yes, a little way

out of town.

Well, this girl

comes to New York

to be a big success.

She's an actress or a model,

or something like that.

It doesn't make

any difference what she is.

Anyway, she flops.

Hard times,

things really get tough,

and then in comes

your friend here.

He's rich and smooth
