Born to Be Bad

I suppose

i should have phoned

instead

of just dropping in.

You'll love

christabel.

I'm happy to do it.

Christabel's uncle has

always been wonderful to me.

I hope this repays him a little, at least.

I'm going to miss

working for him.

If it would make it

simpler for you,

christabel doesn't have to come tomorrow

- maybe later in the week.

Her uncle says her business

school starts monday.

I don't know why my brother insists upon

christabel going to business school...

if she's going to work in his

office, it seems so unnecessary.

If she eventually

gets my job,

it will be helpful.

Excuse me.

Yes.

Kenneth,

miss foster.

Come on up, kenneth, and leave

the door open, will you, please?

I wish we had time

to sit down

and have a nice talk,

miss caine.

Well, it's so late, and

you have so much to do.

You've been most kind, and i'm sure

christabel will be very happy here.

I do wish i could keep her with me,

but there aren't many opportunities

in santa flora for an

attractive young girl,

and christabel

is so-so alive.

Don't miss her

already.

Would you put all that

in the kitchen, please?

Yes, miss foster.

I'm so sorry i'm rushed like this, but

the one day i decide to give a party...

everything has to happen

at the office.

Gobby?

Naturally.

Well, come on up, and leave the door open.

Naturally.

Oh!

Ha ha ha!

I'll go now.

Please wait. I'll

walk down with you.

Hello.

Hello, margaret.

Don't bother.

I'll be all right.

But l-no, margaret!

The party's

after the play.

Good-bye.

Well, you can come back

with us in curtis' car.

Yes.

Hello.

Good evening.

Gobby, put those things

in the kitchen.

Who was the gypsy?

Yes. Yes.

Who are you

talking to?

Margaret.

Margaret? Let me say

hello to margaret.

Gobby wants to say

hello to you.

Hello, margaret.

Hello, gobby.

Oh, gobby.

Thank you

very much.

Gobby, there are a million

things we have to do.

We? Who is

the hired help

you were

just talking to?

They work for curtis. They

brought some things over.

Instead of moving

his house over here,

why don't you wait until

you're mrs. Curtis carey?

Then think up

the party,

and somebody else can do

the work and pay the bills.

How much

do i owe you?

$14.71, including

old age pension,

unemployment insurance,

and withholding tax.

Oh, gobby-

you want this stuff

in the icebox?

Please. I forgot soda. Order

it for me, will you, gobby?

Clicquot

or bicarbonate?

Whose picture did you

bring this time?

That's the one i did

for mrs. Herkimer.

They are going to be

here tonight, aren't they?

Why do you keep using my

apartment for your gallery?

Why don't you use your

own place, or better yet-

no temper, please.

Be careful

what you say.

Remember,

i'm only helping you

because you're

going to be rich.

Hello. I want

some soda water.

Hello. I'm

christabel caine.

But you're not coming

until tomorrow.

I'm not?

I mean, you're not

expected until tomorrow.

But aunt clara

couldn't have-

she couldn't have

made such a mistake.

When uncle john came

up to santa flora,

he talked about a party or something,

and i understood from aunt clara

i was to come the day after.

The party was

last night, so-

but the party

is tonight.

Oh.

Your aunt clara

was just here.

Oh, i didn't

realize.

It must have been-

oh, i'm so sorry.

Think i ought to put

a price tag on it,

or would that be

too obvious?

Christabel, this is

gabriel broome.

This is christabel-

john caine's niece.

How would you like to have

your portrait painted?

You want

to paint me?

I'll paint anyone

with a rich uncle.

Was that the only piece

of luggage you brought?

Oh, i'm not staying

tonight.

I wouldn't dream

of staying.

I'll find a room in a hotel somewhere.

Please don't worry about

me. I'll be all right.

Where do you

want these?

Well, i guess you just better

take them down again.

If you'll just put them in here, please.

Whoever you are,

come on up.

The room looks

beautiful, donna.

Thanks, gobby.

And you're

beautiful.

And john caine's niece will

be beautiful, too, won't you?

Sure you will.

See you at the theater.

Hello, curtis.

Hello, gobby.

You'll find

your bride-to-be

sticking toothpicks

in the shrimps.

They're dead,

though.

Donna!

Well, both domestic

and beautiful.

What a combination.

You're too early.

I thought

i could help you.

You're too late.

All right,

the truth, then-

i couldn't stay away

another minute.

Donna, you'll never know how

long a day can be without you.

I like you.

You know, i believe

you mean it.

You can keep

right on believing.

Donna, you're not

ready yet.

I thought i'd go

just as i am.

This is the man

i'm marrying for his money.

Curtis carey, christabel caine

- john's niece.

Why, hello.

All those nice things your

uncle john has been telling me

about you

are obviously true.

Thank you. It's so sweet of

you to take both of us tonight.

Delighted.

I'll get ready.

What does she mean,

take both of you?

Did you get

an extra ticket?

You can get one,

darling. Call somebody.

I've never been

to an opening.

Oh?

Curtis.

Yes.

It's opening night.

Is it hard

to get tickets?

Oh, no, it's

no trouble at all.

Joe bishop,

please.

Call joe bishop,

curtis!

Well, do you know

where i can reach him?

Curtis,

call joe bishop!

This is curtis carey

calling.

I need another ticket

for the londer opening

tonight.

Not even

in the balcony?

Well, there must be

something.

Tell him to leave it

at the box office, dear.

All right. Yeah, yeah,

i know you would.

Thanks very much.

Bye.

Christabel,

you'll need a wrap.

I couldn't get

another ticket.

Why didn't you call

joe bishop, dear?

I did call

joe bishop.

What are we

going to do?

Why don't

you two go?

That's silly.

Why don't you take

christabel?

Well, now,

wait a minute.

I could stay here.

I don't think

i made enough

hors d'oeuvres, anyway.

Now, i wouldn't hear

of it.

Well, let's all

stay home.

Curtis.

Isn't there someone

you can phone?

Yes-joe bishop.

Here, let me

help you.

There.

That softens your face

so much.

Isn't she beautiful?

Very. Come on, we have

to go. It's getting late.

I feel simply dreadful

about this.

I don't want to hear

another word.

See you later.

Have a wonderful

time.

Hello.

Yes?

Oh, aunt clara, i've

been trying to reach you,

but your line's

been busy.

You don't know how worried i've been

waiting for you

to answer.

Christabel,

i've been frantic.

I've called all over town

for you. Where are you?

I'm at donna's. I know how you must

have felt when you got home, and-

just a minute, aunt

clara. Somebody's just-

hello. Hello?

Hello!

Christabel, is everything all right?

I talked to donna,

and l-

oh, yes, dear, i'm having a wonderful time.

Get off the phone!

Hello? Hello.

What are you

doing here?

Eating.

What are you

doing here?

I live here.

Oh, no. Try again.

Who are you?

Janitor.

How dare you interrupt
