HELLO.

GOOD MORNING.

KATIE, WAIT A MINUTE.

DID YOU FORGET ABOU OUR LUNCHEON DATE?

NO.

I DIDN'T FORGET.

LOOKS LIKE IT.

YOU WALKED RIGHT BY ME.

HOW COULD YOU THINK

I'D FORGET?

I HAVE TO SEND A MESSAGE

OUT TO THE HUNKY DORY.

I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.

YOU TELL MR. FRAZIER I CAN' POSSIBLY COME OUT FOR LUNCH TODAY.

TELL HIM:

I'M DREADFULLY SORRY.

THANK YOU.

WELL, NOW WE CAN

GO TO LUNCH.

YOU KNOW,

FOR A MINUTE,

I THOUGHT YOU WERE

GOING TO STAND ME UP THERE.

OH, YOU KNOW

I WOULDN'T DO THAT.

HEY, YOU REALLY DOLLED

YOURSELF UP TODAY.

I ALWAYS DOLL:

MYSELF UP:

WHEN I HAVE A LUNCHEON ENGAGEMENT.

I HAVE:

A WONDERFUL IDEA.

LET'S GO TO THE COTTAGE FOR LUNCH.

YOU KNOW HOW YOU'VE BEEN ABOU KEEPING ME AWAY FROM THERE.

HAVE I?

IT'S A WOMAN'S PRIVILEGE

TO CHANGE HER MIND.

MORE COFFEE?

NO, THANK YOU.

I BELIEVE:

I'VE HAD ENOUGH.

IT WAS A DIVINE NIGH LAST NIGHT.

WASN'T IT?

IT WAS.

UNUSUAL TO HAVE IT WARM

ENOUGH TO GO WITHOUT YOUR COAT.

THAT'S RIGHT.

LET'S GO UP AND SI UNDER THE TREES.

PROPER INSIGNIA:

FOR YOU-

BACHELOR'S-BUTTON.

YOU HAVE ALL THE EARMARKS

OF A TYPICAL BACHELOR.

YOU GOT ME GOING AROUND

IN CIRCLES, KATIE.

IN CIRCLES?

I DON'T KNOW IF

I CAN EXPLAIN IT.

LOOK, YOU'RE-

YOU'RE A SWELL PERSON.

I ALWAYS KNEW THAT,

BUT, WELL, IT-IT SEEMS THA THERE WAS JUST SOMETHING LACKING.

MAYBE I CAN EXPLAIN IT-

EXPLAIN IT THIS WAY.

IT'S LIKE

YOU WERE A CAKE.

A CAKE?

YES, A CAKE...

WITHOUT ANY FROSTING.

AND I GUESS MOST GUYS,

THEY KINDA LIKE:

THE FROSTING.

KNOW WHAT I MEAN?

TODAY YOU THINK:

I'M WELL-FROSTED.

I'LL SAY.

HA HA HA!

WHAT ARE YOU:

GIGGLING ABOUT?

YOUR NOT THINKING

I WAS FROSTED.

I WAS NEVER MORE FOOLED

IN MY LIFE.

KATIE, I GUESS YOU KNOW I

THINK YOU'RE SOMETHING SPECIAL.

I'M AFRAID I THINK YOU'RE

SOMETHING SPECIAL, TOO.

I'D GIVE ANYTHING

FOR A CIGARETTE.

YOU'RE NOT SEEING

THINGS, BILL. IT'S TRUE.

HELLO, BILL.

I SEE YOU DID KEEP

OUR DATE FOR LUNCH.

IF YOU COULD ONLY SEE YOUR FACE!

THAT'S VERY CLEVER.

WHICH ONE OF YOU THINK

THESE THINGS UP?

I'M ALWAYS THE ONE.

I SWEAR, KATIE,

I WAS GOING TO CONFESS,

BUT YOU CAME HOME

A SECOND TOO SOON.

WELL, IT'S LUCKY

FOR YOU SHE DID.

YOU WERE ABOUT TO BE KISSED

BY A PERFECT STRANGER.

AS YOU CAN SEE, IT'S

VERY EASY TO CONFUSE US.

YOUR SISTER'S A VERY

DANGEROUS WOMAN, KATIE.

SHE COULD WORM THE SECRETS

RIGHT OUT OF A SPHINX.

WELL, I-I REALLY

MUST BE GOING.

WILL YOU WALK TO

THE DOOR WITH ME, KATIE?

I HAVE TO CATCH:

THE 4:
00 BOAT.

DRINK IT AND BLOW UP.

THANKS.

GOOD, HUH?

HA HA HA!

THE NATIVES CALL THIS

"JERSEY LIGHTNIN'."

THE THUNDER COMES LATER.

YOU WANT TO DANCE?

ALL RIGHT, FREDDIE.

TELL ME, KATE,

JUST WHERE DOES PAT FI INTO THIS JIGSAW PUZZLE?

IT'S A LONG STORY,

FREDDIE.

I DON'T FEEL LIKE

TELLING IT.

WANT TO TAKE:

A DRIVE?

IT'S A FINE NIGHT.

CAN I GET YOU:

SOME COFFEE?

YOU CAN SIT HERE

WHILE YOU DRINK IT.

OH, FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE,

SAY SOMETHING.

THIS ISN'T LIKE YOU.

IF HE MEANS THAT MUCH

TO YOU, FIGHT FOR HIM.

I CAN'T.

WELL, THEN, YOU CERTAINLY

WON'T GET HIM IF YOU DON'T.

WHY DON'T YOU CRY AND

GET IT OUT OF YOUR SYSTEM?

MUST YOU ALWAYS LET THAT SISTER

FREDDIE,

WHY, KATIE.

I THOUGHT OF COURSE

YOU'D BE ASLEEP.

WE MISSED YOU.

BILL LOOKED:

EVERYWHERE FOR YOU.

PAT,

YOU KNOW I'VE NEVER BEEN

VERY GOOD AT MINCING WORDS.

WHAT DOES BILL:

MEAN TO YOU?

WELL...

WELL, I MIGHT AS WELL

ADMIT IT, KATIE.

I'M MAD ABOUT HIM.

HE FEELS THE SAME WAY.

THEN THIS IS IT.

I'M SORRY.

OH, DON'T BE SORRY.

IT ISN'T ANYBODY'S FAULT.

BILL'S SO FOND

OF YOU, KATIE.

OVER AND OVER, HE SAID

WHAT A SWELL PERSON YOU WERE

AND WHAT FUN:

YOU'D HAD TOGETHER.

OH.
