I Love You Again Page #2

Synopsis: While alone on a cruise, the upstanding - and mean - teetotaler, Larry Wilson, receives a blow on the head, causing him to revert to his old, forgotten persona of man-about-town and swindler, George Carey. Deciding to get what he can out of his position as Wilson, he returns to Wilson's hometown to continue the pretense. The only trouble is he takes a serious shine to his wife, Kay, and doesn't at all agree that Larry should be letting her go.

"Habersville National Bank. | Lawrence Wilson, checking account C."

$147,000.83!

$147,000.83?

- Let me take a look at that. | - Holy...

That's just the C account!

That means there must be an A and a B.

That might go right | through the whole alphabet!

Say, why wouldn't it be | a good idea for Mr. Wilson

to pay a little visit to Habersville, | just long enough to collect this coin?

I'll need some help.

How'd you like to go in on this with me?

- Do you really mean that? | - I'll cut you in for 25%.

I'd have done it for 10%. | After all, you saved my life.

You know, I'm gonna need some dough.

I think I'll send a radiogram | to the Habersville National Bank

and ask them to send me five grand | to the Hotel Whitney tomorrow morning.

- Twenty-five percent of five grand. | - But you decided to go straight.

That was only a whim.

I think we'd better get right to the | hotel and see if the bank has sent the...

The...

- What's the matter? | - Boy!

Eighteen days alone on a boat is | certainly a long time to be alone on a boat

- for 18 days. | - What are you talking about?

Take a look!

Isn't that some dish? I | wonder who she's waving to.

Keep your mind on your work.

Larry! Larry! Are you all right?

- Oh, me? Yes, I'm fine. How are you? | - Well, the paper said you were injured.

Oh, no, no, no, nothing | serious. You know how papers are.

- Well, it certainly is good to see you. | - I know you're surprised.

Surprised isn't the word for it. Yes, | sir, it certainly is good to see you.

Come on, come on, let's | go, let's go. Come on.

This is Doc Ryan. Oh, yes, yes, good old Doc.

- How are you, Dr. Ryan? | - I'm much better now, thanks to him.

- Habersville is pretty proud of that rescue. | - Habersville?

Well, yes, good old Habersville.

Did you just leave?

When I read that you were hurt, | I didn't know how seriously.

- Naturally, I had to come. | - Naturally, yes.

- Well, yes, it certainly is good to see you. | - So you said.

It's worth repeating.

Larry, you seem strange.

Well, that's just because you | haven't seen me for a while.

Before you know we'll be | right back to where we were.

That's another thing I came to see you about.

Oh... I'll go look after our luggage.

I'll leave you in care of the Doctor.

Dr. Ryan, is he really all right?

Well, you see, lady, he's | had a pretty thorough shock.

Now, you just give me your | name and telephone number,

and the minute he feels | better, I'll have him call you.

- Call me? | - Yeah, he'll ring you in a couple of days.

Thank you, Doctor, but do you know who I am?

Well, whoever you are, | he needs rest and quiet.

- Now, if you're a friend of Larry's... | - I'm his wife.

His wife?

Oh, yes. How stupid of me.

Well, all set.

- The boy's got the bags. | - I was just saying

what a lucky girl this is | to have you for a husband.

I wouldn't say that.

Well, what is it? What's the matter?

Nothing, nothing, nothing. I'm fine.

No, you're not. You're sicker than you think.

You need a lot of rest and quiet.

No, I'm all right. Just a day or two in bed.

Larry, are you sure you can walk?

- Maybe we can find a wheelchair. | - Oh, no, no, no, I'm all right.

If I could just lean on you a little.

Are you checked in anywhere, dear?

I just got in town. My bags | are still at the station.

We'll have them brought right over.

- The Hotel Whitney, and drive like mad. | - Yes, sir.

Well, here we are.

Well, this is a suite.

The best is none too good.

You get rid of Dr. Ryan, won't you, Larry?

You said it.

Let me help you on with your coat, old man.

- I was just taking it off! | - It's all right, Doc.

There's not a thing you can do | for me that my wife can't do.

Listen, Larry, don't get me wrong,

I'd like to lay my hands | on some of that amnesia,

but if you give yourself away | to this dame, we lose a fortune.

- Will you scram? | - You can't get away with it.

She knows all about this Wilson, | what he thinks, what he says.

Listen, if I don't | make a noise like a husband,

she's going to be even more suspicious.

I got a hunch your noise | is going to ruin our racket.

- Will you get out? | - You don't even know her name.

She wasn't christened | "darling" or "dear", you know.

Okay! Okay!

Yes?

Yes?

- Yes, what? | - I thought you called me.

Oh. Kay! Oh, Kay!

Larry, I'd like to talk a | little if you feel up to it.

Talk?

Yes, of course, dear. | Here we... This looks cozy.

I'll sit over here, if you don't mind.

I don't know quite how to...

- Hello. | - Listen, Larry,

the more I think, the more I worry.

You're playing with fire.

No, I'm not. Not yet.

Lookit, Larry, if you'll only use your head.

I'd like to see Mr. Lawrence Wilson, please.

What name shall I say, sir?

Mr. Billings of the | Habersville National Bank.

- Yes, sir. | - Hey, Larry, listen.

I don't want to take any more | phone calls from anyone. Understand?

Now they won't be able to get us for days.

Now...

- I forgot all about your bags. | - They won't be necessary.

Well, yes, but you'll need...

Oh, well, you can get a toothbrush and | nightgown at one of the shops downstairs.

Larry, I'm not going to stay here.

- You're not going to stay? | - No.

I've decided once and for all | to go through with the divorce.

The...

Oh, Kay.

- I've made up my mind. | - You know...

A thing like a divorce | can break up a marriage.

- So I've heard. | - And what's more...

Very often what seemed like a | really good reason for a divorce

isn't a good reason for a divorce at all.

Now, take for example, suppose...

Suppose I'd been beating | you or something like that...

I'd like to see you try.

Yeah, or, well, if I had, say, been | running around with some other woman...

You? With a woman? Don't be ridiculous!

You can never have enough proof, Kay. | Look, let's forget about the divorce

and try and make a go of it, just | once more, starting from scratch.

- It's too late, Larry. | - Nonsense. It's never too late.

- I'll tell you what we'll do. | - There's someone at the door.

That's all right. It's locked.

- Go away! | - You might as well answer it,

- because I'm leaving anyway. | - But Kay...

I'll be at the Shorehaven until tomorrow | if you want to get in touch with me.

You, you...

We kept ringing the room, | and there was no answer.

- And here you were all the time. | - How are you, Mr. Billings?

Couldn't be keener, thanks.

Well, Mr. Wilson, there doesn't | seem to be anything wrong with you.

- That's what you think. | - Goodbye, Larry.

Goodbye, Kay.

I met Mr. Billings in the lobby.

Came all the way from the | Habersville National Bank.

Is that so?

It's a long way to come from | the Habersville National Bank.

Bank?

Well, yes. How are you, Mr. Billings?

- How are you? | - Couldn't be keener, thanks.

Well, that's fine, fine. Pardon me, | I was just wool gathering a little.

- Here you are. Sit right down here. | - All right.

I think you'll find that's a nice, soft spot.

- Can I help you with that? | - That's just fine, thanks.
