Beware, My Lovely Page #5

were telling me-

Doug, I'm perfectly

all right.

Mom takes aspirins

for hers.

If you haven't

got any-

I:

- I'm busy today, I haven't time to talk.

You don't have to check,

I'm sure it's all there.

But I've got to,

Mrs. Gordon.

Mr. Anderson says

always to be sure.

If it's not all here,

it means another trip.

Very well. I'll give you a check, then.

A check?

How much is it?

But-

Doug, don't argue.

How much is it?

$4.37.

All right.

Say, she giving you

trouble today, too?

Trouble?

Yeah. She's always

so nice.

I like her better than

any of my customers.

She's busy.

Yeah? Then why is she taking

time out to write a check?

She always pays at the end of the month.

I guess she's not gonna

trade with us anymore.

Sure wish to know if

I did something wrong.

Here's your money.

Mrs. Gordon's gonna give me a check.

Never mind.

But I haven't

got change.

Keep the change.

Gee, thanks.

Will you tell

Mrs. Gordon

That I'm sorry she's

not feeling well

And if there's

anything I can do-

Go along now,

we're very busy.

Sure. Well-

Bye.

Leave me alone.

Leave me alone!

You're insane.

Get away from me,

you're insane!

Get away from me!

Get away from me!

Get away! Get away!

No, no!

Mrs. Gordon?

I've finished now.

Hope the floors

look all right.

I found this money in the

kitchen while I was cleaning up.

Was it meant for me?

Yes.

Thank you.

I think I'll go home now.

I'm very tired.

This door is locked.

You have the key.

Why should I have-

I have two keys.

That's the one.

Unlock it.

Just unlock it.

Hello. I'm Stevens

from the phone company.

That phone of yours has

been reported out all day.

Sorry I couldn't get here any

sooner, but we've really been swamped.

Is your phone out of order, Mrs. Gordon?

Why... no.

No. There must

be some mistake.

Well, that's funny...

we've had

several reports.

Maybe I better go

and check with Joe in the car.

Oh, just

a minute.

I wonder, could you do me a favor?

Certainly.

This man's been working here

all day.

He's not

very well-

I mean,

he's very tired.

I was wondering, could you

drop him at the car line?

Well, I'd be glad to.

Thank you very much.

But I can't wait long.

Joe and I have another call to

make way on the other side of town.

No, right away.

Howard, why don't you go

out and sit in the car?

Now that Mr. Stevens is here,

I do want him to check the phone

to see that

all is in order.

You will do that

for me, won't you?

Sure thing.

Mr. Stevens will be right out, Howard.

All right, Mrs. Gordon.

Please come in.

Quickly, I don't want him to hear us.

Of course there's something wrong with the phone

- he ripped the wires.

He's insane.

What?

He tried to kill me.

Are you serious?

Yes, of course I am.

He's locked me

in this house all day.

Why, I even had to smash one of the

kitchen windows to try and get out.

Oh, please,

you've got to believe me.

Look, come with me,

and I'll prove it to you.

You will go the police, won't you?

All right, I guess Joe

and I can take care of it.

Oh, thank you.

Thank you.

Mrs. Gordon!

Mrs. Gordon!

He's gone,

Mrs. Gordon,

You'd better lock yourself inside.

Oh, no.

He can't have gone far.

You've got to find him,

you've got to!

All right,

but how about you?

I'll be all right.

Just find him.

Mrs. Gordon?

I'm sorry to be so

long in getting my coat.

It was in your bedroom

closet with a sheet over it.

Oh, and I... I, uh...

found some tickets.

Tickets to a party.

I must have picked them up by mistake.

They must be yours.

Well... good-bye.

Good-bye.

It's Mr. Stevens.

Nice of him to come back.
