You Gotta Stay Happy Page #4

and married probably, right?

In a way, he is. Yes.

But he and his wife

don't understand each other.

Well, he makes a big pitch

for this girl, and he buys

her a few things,

and he promises her

a few more things,

and she ends up like this.

Sound terribly sordid,

doesn't it?

You take my advice.

You go back

where you came from.

But I can't do that.

What's the matter?

Wort your parents

let you come back?

I haven't any parents.

Oh. Well,

you must have somebody.

Where were you raised?

Well, actually,

I was raised

in a convent.

Uh-huh.

You don't believe that,

do you?

I merely said, "Uh-huh."

You probably think

I was raised in a home

for delinquents.

(PHONE RINGING)

It's probably for me.

I'll answer it.

Hello?

Yes, this is 2305.

Oh.

It's my co-pilot.

What do you want?

I'm in a little joint

called the Club Fifty.

Yeah, things turned out

to be livelier

than I expected.

Yeah. And my friend's

got a friend

who's very friendly.

Yeah, I thought you might

come down and have

a few laughs with us.

No, not tonight, Bullets.

I'm bushed. I've got

to get some sleep.

Oh, Marv, look,

I'm worried about you.

You're too straitlaced.

It ain't human,

the way you keep

away from dames.

Well, I'm too tired to

go out tonight, Bullets.

Besides, I'm expecting a call

from Jack. Yeah, I'll see you

in the morning.

And be on time, will you?

I want to take off at 8:00.

Right.

Hope I'm not keeping you

from going someplace.

The only place you're

keeping me from going

is to sleep.

I've got to get up

in the morning.

Well, why don't

you go to bed?

I'll just sit here

for a while and then maybe

later on, I can sneak out.

You can't go out like that.

No, I suppose I can't.

Certainly can't.

Well... Well...

Let's see.

(COUGHS)

You've got a cough.

Huh? No, I don't have a...

I never cough. It's just a...

Maybe you've been

smoking too much.

No, I don't smoke.

Look, if you want to,

you can sleep here tonight.

I can? Where will you sleep?

I'll sleep here on the couch.

You can have the bedroom.

There's a lock on the door.

I don't think I'll need it.

I'll clear out my stuff.

Do you work for

one of the airlines?

Yeah. Payne Airlines.

I'm Marvin Payne,

the president of it.

Never heard of it.

That's entirely possible.

This is no four-engine

type airline.

Not yet, anyway.

You see, a bunch of us

who were in the war together,

we pooled our money

and went into business.

We just have two airplanes,

old war surplus stuff.

I think that was very

enterprising of you...

All right, it's all yours.

Say, by the way,

what's your name?

Dottie... Dottie Blucher.

How do you do?

Good night.

Good night.

Hello.
