Easy to Love Page #5

- Well, yes, but-

Well, why don't you wanna speak to him?

Well, I don't know want to tell him.

- Tell him you got a girlfriend, stupid.

- Oh.

- Ugh.

- She's back, huh? Is she in there?

- How'd she look? Did you talk to her?

- Uh-huh. Yes, I did.

I talked to her.

Hank. Hank.

You're a very nice fellow.

Everybody likes you. We all like you.

I like you.

But, well, you must understand.

- Girls sometimes-

Who you are talking to, Nancy?

- Hi, honey. May I come in?

Oh, yes, Hank, come on in.

- Hi, honey.

- Hello, Hank.

Let me look at you.

- You look wonderful.

- Thank you, Hank.

You don't look bad yourself.

Hank, I'd better go.

They're waiting for me.

Let them wait. This is important.

You know what happened?

Dad struck oil again.

So much oil, we could ski on it.

- That's fine.

- You know what he wants me to do?

He wants me to come back to Texas

and help take care of things.

Well, I told him

I'd have to talk it over with you first.

How about it, baby?

- Well, Hank-

- Yes?

Well, Hank, I really better go.

Ray will be awfully mad if I'm late.

- Let's talk about it after the show, okay?

- Well, look, all you gotta do is say yes.

Hurry up, Freddie.

You know how Mr. Lloyd is

when we're late.

Yeah, hurry up, hurry up.

Always it's hurry up

from that whip cracker.

Makeup for the clown show.

Get the costumes cleaned.

Polish the skis.

Next thing you know,

he'll be having me press his pants.

Oh, Freddie.

You don't seem to understand.

- Mr. Lloyd is running a business here.

- Yeah, a business, sure.

We all owe a lot to Mr. Lloyd, Freddie.

You'd have to look a long time to find

a better boss or a finer man than Mr. Lloyd.

Well, here we go.

Ar-ar-ar.

Gee, baby, it was great.

- You're just wonderful.

- Oh, Hank.

When do we leave?

Hank, sit down a minute. Sit down.

You're just a wonderful guy.

I like you so much.

- But I can't go with you.

- What?

But I wrote my folks we'd leave

as soon as you got back from New York.

I'm in love, Hank.

With someone else.

I'm sorry.

- When did this happen?

- It doesn't matter when it happened.

I mean, it just happened, that's all.

Oh, Hank. You'll find another girl.

Someone who'll be better for you

than I would be.

I'm not in love with any other girl.

I'm in love with you.

That's the trouble with love.

Somebody always has to get hurt.

I'm just so terribly sorry

that it had to be you.

Turn around.

- I don't like it.

- You don't like it?

- Yes?

It's long-distance.

- Mr. Barry Gordon again.

- Tell him Julie's busy.

I did. He insists on talking to her.

Tell him she went to Africa

to become a missionary.

- It's cut too low.

- Not for me it isn't.

Well, it is a little bit revealing,

but people love it.

Men love it.

Men come here with their wives.

And wives hate the things

their husbands love.

- I wanna talk to you.

- Get out and knock first.

And put your pants on.

This isn't a nudist colony.

I wanna talk to you right now.

All right. Wait outside.

- What is it?

- I'm quitting.

Before I do,

I'm gonna slug you right in the kisser.

Get up.

- What's on your mind?

- You know.

- I don't know.

- Julie.

What about Julie?

I don't know, speak up.

I know how you tried to cut me out,

taking her to New York...

...showing her those fine shows,

making her fall in love with you.

In love with me? Who told you that?

She did.

If she's in love with me,

I had nothing to do with it.

I don't believe you.

I don't care whether you believe me.

It's the truth.

- Do you still wanna quit?

- Of course I wanna quit.

All right, then.

- A week from today, March 1 st.

- That's good enough for me.

Now, beat it. Go eat your yogurt.

Send Ben in.

What's with laughing boy?

Do you know anything

about Julie being in love with me?

I had a slight notion, yes.

Most all the girls are.

It's only natural, I suppose.

Young, good-looking boss,

female employees.

- Why?

- Did she ever talk to you about me?

Yes, yes,

she told me what a monster you were.

Not about love, though. No, no, no.

They don't confide that sort of thing

to a publicity man.

All right, Ben, that's all. Thanks.

You can't win, boss. It's no use.

You know what my girl

used to say to me? She used to say:

"You can't fight nature, baby.

You can't fight nature. "

She always said everything twice.

So I didn't. So I got married.

So you don't fight nature anymore.

You fight your wife.

Oh, you're so right.

Oh, Ben, there's something

I wanna talk to you about.

Would you mind

raising your chin, please?

Would you lift your right hand a little?

Thank you. That's it.

You know, I'm here on my vacation.

You doing anything special tonight?

I certainly am

doing something special tonight.

- No harm in trying.

- No harm at all.

I've been trying for years.

- Hold it, please. Hold it.

- Mm-hm.

Julie, telephone.

In the booth.

Telephone, Julie.

Oh, excuse me.

Hello?

Barry. Well, how are you?

I just got back from where? Africa?

Look, Barry, I-

I can't hear you. Hold on a moment.

There. Now...

...hello, Barry.

Well, I'm sorry.

Well, I'll write to you and explain.

You're not in New York? Where are you?

Where? I haven't the slightest idea.

I see a few cows.

One of them has black spots,

if that means anything to you.

Look out.

If you still wanna know where I am,

I could be more specific.

Ha-ha. I'm in a ditch.

Oh, Barry, be sensible.

Listen, there's something

I've just got to tell you. I-

Oh, gotta go. Goodbye.

Now, remember, now,

you're hard to get, huh?

Don't worry,

I won't say yes till he asks me.

Okay.

I'll get it, Flora.

Oh, lovely, lovely.

- Hello, Ray.

- Is it new?

- Oh, no, no.

You remember the ad

for Miracle Vitamin Cream?

When you dream, when you dream

Dream of Miracle Vitamin Cream

I remember. I remember.

Oh.

I just love this house.

Oh.

It's so friendly and warm.

Makes a person feel so, well, at home.

- It's too big.

- Is it?

- Yes.

- Oh.

- How about a martini?

- Fine. I'll make it.

- Let me make it.

- You sure you know how?

Now, don't you worry. I'm an expert.

- I'm kind of particular about my martinis.

- Are you?

So am I.

Yeah, it's too big.

I'm thinking of selling it.

Oh?

I'd like to build a small bungalow,

one-bedroom, maybe a guestroom.

That's all I need, really.

Oh.

Yeah, it's too big.

- Well, here we are.

- Oh.

Ah.

- To the expert.

- Thank you.

To us.

Good?

I can cook too. I can cook anything.

Complicated French or exotic Hawaiian...

...heavy Hungarian,

and just good, plain American.

Mm.

Of course, I don't have a kitchen.

- Oh.

- No, I don't have one.

I know.

Why don't I come here

and cook for you some night?

Yes, you do that sometime.

- I think I'll have- Want any more...?

- No, no, thank you.

Good evening, Miss Julie.

- Oh, hello, Flora.

- Oh, that's lovely.

- Want some of these?

- No, I don't care for any.

Thanks, Flora, I'll take them. Thank you.

- You sure you won't have some?

- No, no.
