Easy to Love Page #6

- Well, shall we?

- Oh, alrighty.

You know, Ray, you're terribly cruel.

You tell a girl at 6:00 in the morning

that you have something on your mind...

...something she'd be very happy

to hear...

...and, well, here it is,

it must be 8:
30, and-

- Of course.

- Still waiting to hear it.

Of course.

Wouldn't you like some hors d'oeuvres?

They're awfully good.

No, no.

Excuse me. Hello?

Yes, this is Mr. Lloyd.

All right, I'll hold on.

Miami.

Hello, Beverly. How are you, angel?

Well, what are you doing in Miami,

looking for a new husband?

No, I'm still not available. Ha-ha.

I'm having too much fun to get married.

Ha-ha.

Sure, I believe in matrimony,

but only for women.

What?

Well, I'd like to, angel,

but I'm kind of tied up now.

Maybe next week. What, honey?

I just- Mm-hm.

Oh, what did I say?

Well, I just said

I hope to see you next week in Miami.

Heh-heh-heh. Goodbye.

Heh-heh. You remember Beverly,

that tall blond, worked for me in New York?

You know, in this business,

you sure have to watch your step.

Take a girl out a few times

and wine her and dine her...

...flatter her a little,

and pretty soon she wants to get married.

Where do they get ideas like that?

Well, that's not your problem.

Now, let's get back to you.

Here's what I wanted to tell you.

To show you how much I appreciate

your cooperation and your loyalty...

...I'm doubling your salary as of today.

That's very nice of you, Ray.

Very nice.

Uh- Ray, I think I'd better go.

Why? What's wrong?

- Well, I don't feel very well.

- Well, let me get you something.

No. No, no, I'd just better go.

- Well, I'll get the car and drive you home.

- No, please, please, I'd rather walk.

I'd really like to get

some fresh air anyhow.

Dinner's ready.

- Thank you, Flora.

Where's Miss Julie?

She left.

- You're going to eat alone, Mr. Lloyd?

- Why not?

I've been eating alone for years.

That's the way I like it.

Don't sigh like you do

I'm giving fair warning to you

Look out, I'm romantic

Hello, remember me

- What are you doing here?

- I live here. I just moved in.

Barry, be serious. Why did you come?

Enjoy the Florida sunshine,

see beautiful Cypress Gardens.

Meet a lovely lady,

maybe take her out, have some fun.

You know, the usual tourist stuff.

Oh, yes, one other reason.

I'm crazy about you.

Barry, it was wonderful in New York...

...and it's sweet of you

to come all this distance...

...but I wish you hadn't.

Southern hospitality they call it.

First, Ray Lloyd says you're in Africa.

- Now you tell me to go home.

- What?

- Huh?

- What did Ray Lloyd say?

He says you're in Africa.

- I couldn't figure out at first.

- He did, did he?

I hardly know the guy.

- I had nothing to do with-

- I can't tell you how glad I am to see you.

This is the nicest surprise

I ever had in my life.

How was your trip? Are you tired?

There's a wonderful place

outside of town.

- Would you like to go? Come on.

- Just a moment. Mr. Ray Lloyd's calling.

She's gone to Africa.

Uh- Ladies and gentlemen,

may I have your attention, please?

I know that you're looking forward...

...to the first performance

of that great spectacle...

...our annual winter water carnival.

However, due to technical difficulties...

...there will be a slight delay

before the beginning of our carnival.

If you'll just give us a few minutes,

we'll get this show on the water.

Thank you.

What's the trouble? Technical difficulties?

- Julie. She's not there.

- Where is she?

- Still asleep, probably.

- Asleep?

What do you expect?

You keep her up till 4 in the morning.

She left my house at 9.

I don't know.

Nancy said she got in at 4.

Listen, you. You know the rules.

Nobody keeps the girls out after 11.

Look, cash register,

I don't know what you're talking about.

What's the idea

of keeping Julie out so late?

I haven't seen Julie since yesterday.

And just watch what...

- Who's that?

- Barry Gordon. She met him in New York.

Looks like she knows him pretty well,

kissing him like that.

It's a habit she picked up

the minute they met.

- I was a dope. I apologize.

- For what?

For slugging the wrong guy.

Oh, wait till I get my hands on him.

You'll do nothing.

This is the kind of a situation

I'd like to handle personally.

Get ready.

You'd be so easy to love

So easy to idolize

All others above

So worth the yearning for

- How did he get in the act?

- Julie's idea.

Great publicity stunt, huh, chief?

Huh? Ha-ha.

Well, stop worrying.

He's doing it for nothing.

I always say there's no business

like free business.

You're killing me. Someday I'll kill you.

We'd be so grand at the game

So carefree together

That it does seem a shame

That you can't see

Your future with me

'Cause you'd be

Oh, so easy

To love

We'd be

So grand at the game

So carefree together

That it does seem a shame

That you can't see

Your future with me

'Cause you'd be

Oh, so easy

To love

I'd like to ask you a few questions.

- Nothing personal, I hope.

- Uh-uh.

- Well, what?

- Love me a little?

Next question.

Tell me...

...how would you like to sit

in a little outdoor restaurant...

...on the Champs Elysees,

spring afternoon...

...watching the people pass by?

- I think I'd like it. Why?

- Oh, I was just wondering.

And how about cocktails

at the George Cinq?

- Uh-huh.

- Dinner at Maxim's?

Yes, yes, go on.

And later on, some dancing.

Yes, of course, I'd give my right arm.

Get to the point.

All right.

Well, I leave for Paris in two weeks.

I open in a show.

It'll be spring.

Paris in the spring is a horrible place

when you're alone.

- I know, because-

- Now, now, just a minute.

You alone in Paris?

You'll have a girl

before you can count to two.

- Yes, I know, a girl in every town.

- That's right.

Julie, I wish all of them were you.

Will you come with me?

Well...

...it sounds wonderful.

And it sounds as though

you were talking about a honeymoon.

More or less.

- May I ask you a question?

- Sure.

Which is it, Barry? More or less?

Pardon the intrusion.

Go on, get dressed. I'm taking you home.

Thank you very much,

but Mr. Gordon can take me home.

I'm taking him too.

I'll show you a shortcut.

Okay.

- Go on, get dressed.

- I'll just be a minute.

- Ever ride in a motorboat?

- Many times.

- You like it?

- Very much.

Glad to hear it. Come on.

Lovely ride, Lloyd.

I don't know how to thank you,

but I'll think of something.

- Aah!

Come here. Hey, come back.

Hey. Hey. Come back here.

Ray, take me back. Do you hear me?

If you don't stop this boat, so help me...

...I'm gonna hit you

right over the head with a...

Oh! Oh.

I've never understood how anybody

could commit murder before-

All right, calm down.

I've got a few things to say.

- I've heard everything.

- This you've never heard.

I'm freezing, I'm soaking wet.

I'm gonna catch pneumonia.

What?

There's a dry shirt and sweater

in the locker. Go put them on.

Oh!

Angel, I've been doing a lot of thinking.
