It Happened Tomorrow Page #2

And that is why Miss Sylvia

will be unable to accept...

...any social engagements.

Hello. Remember me?

No, I'm afraid I don't.

But you answered my question.

I was asleep.

Besides, you were very rude

How do you know I was

if you were asleep?

May I take you home?

No, Thank you.

You mean, I can't come inside?

I always go home alone.

105 North Elm Street. Driver.

And take it easy.

Go slow.

No, go fast

I'm in a hurry.

I'm in no hurry.

Take your time.

Now, listen to me

Who hired this cab?

The gentleman did, Miss. He's kept me

here waiting for half an hour.

It's a pleasure. You don't mind my

riding with you in my own cab,do you?

I certainly do.

- Cabbie.

- I'm sorry, I've hired this cab.

You've hired it, huh?

Well, why don't you get into it?

Alright cabbie, take 'em away.

Twenty-three skidoo!

Thank you, Professor.

And don't try to see her again.

You'd better drive on.

My uncle might see you.

Goodnight.

I can look into the future myself.

You're going to see me again.

Very soon.

You see? My prediction was right.

I told you I'd see

you again very soon.

Oh, be careful.

Go away.

Oh no. Not 'til I know whether

you're prediction is right or not.

- Prediction?

- Don't you remember?

Seor would like to know...

...if the girl he loves

will have lunch with him tomorrow.

You said she will.

I never remember anything

I say when I'm in a trance.

Well, in case you do I'll be waiting

for you at the Evening News office

tomorrow 'til 1 o'clock.

Goodnight.

Wait...

...the name is Stevens.

Lawrence Stevens.

Just ask for Larry.

Larry!

Larry!

Larry!

Oh, it's you Pop.

You gave me a scare.

Don't tell me

you've been drinking alone?

What are you doing here so late?

Didn't I tell you time doesn't exist?

I was waiting for you, Larry.

For me?

I didn't say I was coming back.

I was just on my way home.

So am I

But I wanted to give you this first.

Well, it's the "Evening News"

I've read it.

Maybe not.

You better go home

and sleep it off Pop.

I never felt better in my life.

Goodnight, Larry.

Wait and I'll take you home

No thanks, my boy.

We go different ways.

Don't lose it.

Better hurry up, Mr Stevens.

Mrs Keever, today I start a new life.

Starting a little late

in the morning.

Well I overslept

I had wonderful dreams

Better take a coat;

it's a little chilly today.

Don't you think

Love might keep me warm.

You call this the month of May?

Last night fog,

cold this morning.

How goes it, Joe?

Not so good.

Still looking for a job.

Mind if I take a look at your paper?

I haven't got one.

Sure you have one

here in your coat.

"Evening News"

That's last night's paper.

I don't mind.

It's the want ads I'm after.

This aint last nights paper.

It's todays.

No, Joe. Todays "Evening News"

hasn't gone to press yet...

It must be last nights.

What day is today?

Wednesday

But this says Wednesday

Wednesday?

They must have made a mistake.

What day is today?

Wednesday, all day!

Snow?

It didn't snow yesterday did it?

No.

"Unseasonable snow fall

8 o'clock in the morning"

I didn't see any snow, did you?

How could I? There wasn't any.

Yes, it's Wednesday the whole day.

And what a day!

Snow in May.

"8 o'clock in the morning..."

What time is it?

Can't you see for yourself?

Here's something!

They need a waiter at Beacon & Fifth.

I guess I'll get right over there

Joe!

I tell you we don't need any waiters.

But this paper says...

We don't need any waiters.

Understand?

Then why waste peoples time

putting ads in the paper?

You've probably got the wrong address

Here it is. You say you didn't put

an ad in the paper for a waiter?

No we did not.

I tell you we don't need any waiters.

Get out of here

you butterfingers!

This is the last dishes

you break here!

You are fired!

Get your head on Maisie...

...take a dollar from the till and

put an ad in the paper right away.

What are you staring at me for?

In the morning paper?

No, I want another man right away.

Put it in the "Evening News".

What do you want?

Nothing.

Nothing.

- Where's Pop Benson?

- I haven't seen him, Larry.

Where's Pop?

Search me, Larry.

- Have you seen Pop?

- No, I haven't Larry.

- Hey, what's your hurry?

- I've got to find Pop.

The old man

hasn't shown up yet Larry.

Stevens.

Mr Gordon.

Do you know where Pop Benson is?

Never mind about Pop Benson.

You come into my office.

But I've got to find Pop.

Something's happened

I don't understand.

Something's happened that

I understand very well. You're late.

I know but when I tell you

what happened.

Let me tell you

what's going to happen...

If you're ever late

in this office again...

Mr Gordon. Who's covering

the Melba concert at the opera house?

Now don't tell me

you want to be a music critic

But suppose something happens there.

A front page story...

the biggest news of the day.

In that case, I'll send

an experienced reporter. Not you.

But I ought to be there

before it happens

You're either crazy or drunk.

Still drunk, I mean.

I'm going to show you something

that will change your mind

Your fired!

You can't fire me. I quit.

You quit? You...?

I mean, I will quit tonight

if you haven't given me a raise

A raise?

Yes, for the

biggest news story of the day

Set up a 4 column

headline right now

Bandits steal cash at opera house

while Melba sings

At ten minutes past two.

Hey, Did you get fired?

Yes, but I'm gonna get a raise.

Can I help you?

Can we all help you?

I'm looking for Mr Stevens.

Oh, I'll get him for you.

- Larry, she's here

- Who?

Don't kid me. You know who.

How did you do it?

- I forgot.

- Yeah, you forgot.

Miss Smith, this

is a day of miracles

I was just passing by Mr Stevens.

I was waiting for you.

Yes, I knew you

intended to wait so I ...

...I felt it was my duty

to tell you that...

...I can't have lunch with you.

Oh, I see.

You think we haven't known

each other long enough.

You're very understanding Mr Stevens.

Well, that's too bad, I...

I could have told you of something

wonderful that's happened.

You know why I came...

...tell me your secret.

How would you like

to hear the Melba concert?

You're changing the subject.

Oh no I'm not.

That's part of the secret.

Something is going to happen

at the opera house.

We haven't much time to get there.

Oh, I couldn't

go with you Mr Stevens.

But what's going to happen?

I'll tell you

Two Sir?

What time is it please?

Five past two.

The concert has just started Sir.

We're late.

No, No, we're a few minutes early.

I bet you a pair of tickets I can

tell you how much you've taken in

3675 dollars

You lose my friend. 3670 even.

Must be a mistake somewhere.

I guess I'll have to buy that pair.

How much?

- 2.50 each.

Five dollars.

Five dollars.

Well, that makes it right.

3675 dollars

But that isn't all the secret is it?

Oh no, that's just the money

that's going to be stolen.

Come inside, you'll be safer.
