About Mrs. Leslie Page #10

I don't think

you'll find him there, honey.

What do you mean?

Had he been drinking

last night?

You know what I told you

about drinkers.

When they're drinking,

they're apt to say anything.

But he was sober.

Well, he's not there.

He's packed up and gone.

You can see for yourself.

He'll be back.

Nadine, honey-

- he'll be back.

He's got to come back.

Listen.

While you're waiting,

why don't you come

and have a cup of coffee

with me?

- Alice!

- LAN!

LAN!

Oh, I knew you'd come back.

We'd better get your clothes.

We're leaving right away.

You don't want to forget this.

Oh, thanks, Mrs. Leslie.

You're a doll.

If I'd remembered this,

I'd have sold it

along with my car

and the other stuff.

That's why he was up so early.

Oh, well,

you better hold onto it.

Everybody needs music sometimes.

- We'll make our own.

- You better hurry.

It's going to be 120

crossing the desert.

Not for us.

We've got an air-cooled cloud.

Any idea where you'll be?

Anyplace I get a job

I can be proud of,

like driving a truck

or pumping gas.

Will that make you proud?

It sure will, both of us.

If that sounds a little silly,

it's because you came in

at the end

and don't know the beginning.

I can guess, Alice.

I bet you can.

I'll bet you know exactly

how we feel.

Hey, you know something?

I'll bet you were

an awfully pretty girl.

Before we go, do you mind

if I kiss you good-bye?

You kiss your bride hello.

Hello, Mrs. McKay.

The world's

going to be all right

as long as we have kids

like you two.

Do you mind

a tip from an old-timer?

Be honest with each other.

Give everything you've got.

Don't settle for half.

You got to have it all:

Marriage, kids, the works.

It cost me a life

to find that out.

All right, Mr. McKay.

I'm not a traffic cop.

I can't give you a ticket,

so I won't give you

any more lectures.

Bye.

Goodbye and thank you.

Good-bye,

Mrs. Leslie, honey.
