Easy to Love Page #7

She stays mostly wet, while he stays mostly disinterested in anything other than the cash receipts.

I don't know just how to say this...

...but in this business, girls come and go.

I've never tried to keep them here.

But with you, it's different.

I can't let you go. I need you.

And I'm not talking about the show.

I know, you think it's another trick to keep

you from leaving with that charm boy.

Well, you're wrong.

I guess I've been in love with you

for a long time.

I never realized it.

Now I know.

Julie, I want you to marry me.

What do you say?

Hey, you forgot something.

You're home early.

Did you have a good time?

Oh, did you swim home?

You think it's very funny, don't you?

I did.

Well, it's a silly question,

I know, but why?

- Oh, it's all right. It's the laundry.

- Oh.

Oh, hello, Ray.

I was expecting the laundry.

That's very amusing.

- Come on in.

Would you mind leaving us alone?

- Sure.

Stay here.

- Please go.

- Don't move.

For your information, when somebody

has something to tell you...

...it's not good manners

to jump in a lake and swim away.

For your information,

when a girl has a date with a gentleman...

...it's not good manners to try to drown

that gentleman, behave like an idiot.

It just so happens your gentleman

makes me sick.

- Oh, isn't that a coincidence?

- Yes.

You make me sick.

Now, if you don't mind,

I'd like to change my clothes.

- Will you please go?

- Just a minute, I'm not through.

Oh, yes, you are.

Oh, forget it.

He sure has connections.

It's probably my laundry.

Well, hi, Hank.

- How's every little thing?

Terrible.

Would you mind leaving the room?

- Well-

- Stay here.

- Please, Nancy, will you?

- Don't move.

- Say, you're all wet.

- That's right, Hank.

What is it, huh?

Well, when I thought it was you and Ray,

I sort of held back.

When I found out

it was that slick character-

Hank, I appreciate

the interest you're taking...

...but I'd appreciate it a lot more

if you'd just leave me alone.

- Now-

- Don't think I'm giving you up, honey.

If I get my hands on that snake,

I'll plaster the walls with him.

- How do they do it?

- No idea.

They slam the door.

Thunder.

- Oh, I was just trying to-

- Good evening.

Come right in.

Thank you.

Thank you very, very much.

- If you want me to leave the room-

- Oh, not at all.

We have no secrets, do we, darling?

Were you caught in the rain?

Not exactly.

Barry, I know we had a date

and everything, but-

Well, it's raining so hard, and I-

I don't feel much like going out, and-

But it's so lonesome having dinner all alone,

especially on a rainy night.

Barry, please excuse me.

If you're lonesome,

we could have dinner downstairs.

The food's awfully good.

Darling, we don't have to go out.

We can eat downstairs.

I hear the food's out of this world.

Oh. All right, Barry.

I'll meet you downstairs.

Oh, you're sweet.

I'm gonna send you a bottle of champagne.

- Oh, thanks.

- Anything else?

- Yes. A hamburger.

- With onions?

Good.

That's what a rainy day is for

The sound of the rain

On each window pane

Says, "Kiss her, kiss her, kiss her again "

That's what a rainy day is for

- How late is the dining room open?

- Nine.

Thanks.

'Cause we all know

The wetter the season

The better the reason

To huddle up tight

And cuddle up tight

And love you, love you, love you tonight

That's what a rainy day is for

More. Sing again.

All right, all right, if you'll sing it with me.

Will you?

Come on. Try it.

Thought you were leaving town today.

Changed my mind.

Got some unfinished business

to take care of.

Morning.

Good morning.

Good morning, Hank.

Morning.

- Good morning, darling.

- Hello, baby.

How do you do it?

Looking so beautiful

so early in the morning?

It's because I'm so happy.

See you after the show.

Oh, that was great, baby doll.

Only the greatest.

You'll never give a better performance.

You're so right.

And it was my last show.

- You can tell your boss I'm quitting.

What?

- Julie.

- Julie.

- Julie, honey, what did I do?

- Julie.

- Baby doll.

Angel, what happened?

What happened? Are you hurt?

It's me, Barry.

Hey.

- Watch who you're shoving.

- Why, you big ape.

- I'll break every bone in your body.

- You and who else?

- I've just been waiting for this.

- So have I.

- Where'd she go?

- Bet I can guess.

Bye, Hank.

Well, at least we put up a good fight.

Seems like I'm always slugging

the wrong guy.

Hank.

Yeah?

- When are you leaving?

- Who cares?

I do.

- You do?

- I always did.

- You did?

- I'm very fond of Texas too.

No kidding?

- And cattle.

- Yeah?

- And oil wells.

- Yeah?

Say, is it true that some people

have oil wells in their living rooms?

Sure, honey.

Let me tell you about Texas.

Hello.

Oh, hello.

- Why, thank you.

- Are you going swimming?

No. They're gonna take a picture of me.

I'm posing for a lipstick ad.

Lipstick? Well...

Angel, say something. It's me, Ray.

Honey, I'm crazy about you.

Do you hear me?

You'll never have to work again, never.

Well, maybe one show on Saturdays.

Do you hear me? I love you. I love you.

- I wanna marry you.

- When?

As soon as you finish the second show.

- Oh, darling.

- Oh, darling.
