I Love You Again Page #3

- How're tricks? | - Couldn't be keener, thanks.

- Well, now, here's the $5,000. | - Thank you.

- Now, that makes you $2,700 overdrawn. | - Overdrawn?

Well, when you went away, you | had on deposit with us $2,800.

Then we paid five hundred for | you as the final installment

on that plot of land at Marsh's subdivision.

Here's your deed for that. | It's all paid in full.

Oh, yes, yes. And I owe the bank $2,700?

The bank was only too | glad to accommodate you.

Nice of them.

Yes. Well, what about the other accounts?

Well, of course, the B and | C accounts are separate.

Oh, yes, of course, of course.

But they're listed here in the statement.

Yes, here we are.

In the C account we have $147,000.83.

Could I hear that again, please?

$147,000...

- And 83 cents. | - Yes.

- That's the Community Chest account. | - What?

I said, that's the Community Chest account.

Naturally, that amount is intact | as all checks drawn on that

have to be countersigned by Mr. | Sims, Miss Breathwaite, Mr. Allen,

two directors of the fund, Mr. | Cochran, and yourself, of course.

- Oh, yes, yes, of course. | - How about the National Guard?

Don't they have to sign it, too?

Now, in the B account,

- which is the Anti-Vice League | fund... - Anti-Vice League?

Well, we can skip that, right now, that is.

Well, just as you say, Mr. Wilson. | I trust I've made everything clear?

Oh, yes, yes. Very clear. | And you have the $5,000.

Yes, yes, we have the $5,000, all right.

- Yes, we have that. | - Yes.

- Well, good day, gentlemen. | - Thank you very much, Mr. Billings.

Give my compliments to Mr. | Sims and Miss Breathwaite.

- I will, indeedy. Goodbye. | - Goodbye.

Raising all that dough | for an anti-vice fund.

You certainly were a stinker!

Say, a guy that can raise that | much dough for the Community Chest

certainly ought to be able to | raise a few bucks for himself.

- It stands to reason. | - Sure.

Habersville. That's Pennsylvania.

- What about oil? | - There's lots of money in oil.

Doc, I think maybe you and I had better | be on our way to Habersville tomorrow.

You know, just to get the lay of the land.

Say, speaking of land, that guy Billings | gave me a deed or something. Sure!

Boy, I'm a property owner in Habersville.

Why, this gag makes the oil a cinch.

I wonder if we could locate Duke Sheldon. | You know, he used to specialize in oil.

We could get him to meet us down there.

- Wait a minute. | - What's the matter?

- What about your wife? | - She's going to divorce me.

Can you imagine? I meet a girl,

and in 20 minutes she's going to divorce me.

But I can't let her do that!

- I'll need her more than ever now. | - For what?

Well, with a divorce going on, a | scandal in a little town like that...

No, Larry Wilson couldn't sell peanuts.

Where are you going?

I think I'll run over to Shorehaven and | have a little talk with the little woman.

See who that is.

- Yes. | - All right, where is he?

- Hey, wait a minute. Wait a minute. | - Where's Kay? Larry! Where's Kay?

- What are you doing here? | - Larry!

- Hey, come here a minute! | - Larry!

You can't go in that room! | You can't bust in like that!

- Where's Kay? | - Who are you?

You know very well who I am.

Why, yes, but I... Who do you think you are?

- Kay? Kay? | - She might've been taking a bath.

Shut up!

She's been here, all | right. I saw the register.

- Did you, now? | - Yes.

"Lawrence Wilson and wife. " | That's the way you signed it,

you dirty sneak. What do you mean by that?

Well, after all, she's my wife, isn't she?

Well, she may be your wife | but she's engaged to me.

Engaged to... Yes, but why | should Kay want to divorce me?

Have you ever taken a good look at yourself?

Let's not get personal. I asked, | why should she want to divorce me?

You know why!

Yes, I do, but do you?

I'll say I do, and so does | everybody else that knows you.

It's written all over you.

- Kay was never married to you. | - Keep it clean, keep it clean.

No, she was married to the Rotary, | the Kiwanis, the Lions, the Moose,

the Elks and the Greater | Habersville Committee.

Boy, is that bigamy.

Your idea of showing her a good time

was to take her to the annual | ladies' night dinner given by

- the Brotherhood of Hoot Owls. | - Hoot Owls?

Yes, Hoot Owls!

Kay's spent five long years | of boredom and penny pinching.

Now, she's going to have | some fun out of life.

- With you? | - It's against nature.

Would you mind getting rid | of your wisecracking stooge?

We can settle this between the two of us!

There isn't anything to settle.

No, no, things have... | And people have changed.

All bets are off.

From now on, it's every man for himself.

You promised Kay a divorce.

I might've known you'd go back on your word,

you dirty double-crosser, you!

You've been asking for this!

You were asking for that!

He might at least have told me his name.

Hello?

Oh, it's you.

Larry Wilson, what do you mean | by acting that way with Herbert?

- His name's Herbert. | - I'm not surprised.

Well, listen, Kay, I didn't mean | to hit Herbert so hard, honestly.

- What's that you say? | - What'd he say?

- He said he hit you. | - He did not! I ran into a door!

You didn't hit Herbert. | He ran into a door. What?

- What's he want? | - He wants me to join him for dinner.

No, no, no, no.

He says if I don't go, he'll | never give me the divorce.

Why, it's blackmail, that's what it is.

- Well, all right, but I'm going along, too! | - Very well, Larry.

We'll join you. Yes, | Herbert's coming, too. Goodbye.

I'm sorry, Herbert, but | Larry has the upper hand.

We'll have to humor him.

You did run into a door, didn't you?

Lobster? We didn't order that.

Oh, yes, madam. They were | ordered from this morning's nets.

- Why, there must be some mistake. | - Oh, no, sir.

Mr. Wilson ordered them this | afternoon when he reserved the table.

- Champagne? For Larry? | - Oh, no. No. Not all of it.

You and Herbert can have some, too.

Larry, what have you done to yourself?

Your moustache and that outfit.

Just a few last-minute | alterations. I'm sorry I'm late.

Herbert, black tie?

- At least he didn't buy his this afternoon. | - Yes, I can see that.

Good old bubbles. Aged, I hope.

Well, if Habersville could see you now!

You, who ran for assemblyman | on the prohibition ticket.

On the... Yes. Yes, dear, but you see,

the Doctor says that I should | have a drink every 15 minutes.

No, thank you.

- You're not drinking, Herbert? | - No, I'm not drinking.

Now look here, Wilson. Don't shush me.

Now, Kay and I came here | tonight for only one reason.

Here's a man who gets loud on no drinks.

You're deliberately trying | to make him lose his temper.

I'm so sorry, old man.

- How about a dance? | - Certainly not.

- Not you. Kay. | - We came here to talk.

But the Doctor says that I | should have plenty of exercise.

When I dance with you, I'm | the one that gets the exercise.
