It Started with Eve Page #8

You don't mind my saying that,

do you?

When you're as old as I am, you

haven't got much time left to waste...

and you just say things

right out.

Anne Terry.

That is your name,

isn't it?

Anne Terry, Anne Terry.

I like it better.

How long have you known?

Oh, a few days,

but that's not important now.

Without even saying good-bye.

Sing that for me.

I can't now.

Not even that?

What have I done to you?

Goin' home

I'm a-goin' home

Quiet like

Some still day

I'm just goin'home

It's not far

Just close by

Through an open

Door

Work all done

Care laid by

Goin' to grieve

No more

Mother's there

Expectin' me

Father's waitin'...

Is this the dress?

Yes.

Pretty.

And this little fur?

Well, that... that's not mine.

We borrowed it.

We were to be the handsomest

couple there, remember?

You could catch a train

in the morning.

Oh, no, I can't go to the party.

I promised.

Oh, no,

I didn't mean the party.

We two should go out together somewhere

and say good-bye properly, hmm?

People would recognize you

and that wouldn't be fair.

I know of a nice quiet place

where no one knows me.

Where no one knows you?

Good evening, Mr. Reynolds.

How are you, Mr. Reynolds?

Why,Jonathan Reynolds!

Lost a little weight, haven't you?

Yes, this is ridiculous,

isn't it?

Here's your check, Mr.

Reynolds. Thank you very much.

Nice quiet place where no one knows

you, hmm? I've never been here before.

Must have seen my picture in the

paper. Nice having you with us again.

Right this way, Mr.

Reynolds. Oh, I forgot.

Excuse me, please.

Thomas!

Yes, sir? I forgot to tell

my son where I was going.

Would you call him, please?

Certainly, sir.

And tell him I mightn't be here long in

case he wants to join me. Very good, sir.

This way, please.

I am so sorry.

I do apologize. I had to

see that man over there...

Good evening,Jonathan.

How do you do?

That's Jonathan Reynolds.

Is he still alive?

Here we are. Charles. Coming.

Your wrap?

No, thank you.

For Mr. Reynolds, a Reynolds Special.

For madam? Nothing, thank you.

We'll order dinner

later. Very good, sir.

We haven't seen you

in a long time, Mr. Reynolds.

How nice of you to save

one of those for me.

Thank you.

Won't you tell me

why you brought me here?

It's a nice place, music and

dancing. And everyone knows you.

Well, yes.

People see you here with me,

they tell other people.

It helps you out.

It helps what?

You want a career, don't you?

There are people here

who can open the doors for you.

Not if you go to them yourself,

of course.

But you're seen with me...

I support the opera.

Makes a difference.

Hold it, will ya, Mr. Reynolds?

Thank you.

Thank you.

That helps too, you know. Tomorrow

morning that will be in the papers...

I... I do wish you wouldn't

let him use that picture.

Why not?

It's not fair.

To whom? Well, to, uh...

Please try and stop him.

Don't let him use it. Tell him

to destroy it. I'll do what I can.

Oh, please try, won't you?

I... If you'll excuse me...

Mister?

Oh, yes, Mr. Reynolds.

The young lady with me

is Miss Anne Terry, my son's fiance.

Thank you, Mr.

Reynolds. T- E-R-R-Y.

Thank you,

Mr. Reynolds.

Oh, Thomas?

Yes, sir?

Did you reach my son? Yes,

sir, he said he'd be right over.

He seemed rather upset, sir. Very good.

He's going to destroy the

picture. Oh, thank you.

Would you mind asking for the check

now, please? I don't understand you.

I thought you wanted a career.

This is the least I can do for you.

I know, but I... Would you

bring the check now, please?

Certainly, madam.

Thank you.

What's that?

It's a Reynolds Special.

But you shouldn't be dri...

What's in it?

Oh, it's,

uh, nothing but...

coconut milk

and vegetable juices.

Dr. Harvey orders it for me.

It's...

It's horrible.

Then why do you drink it?

Because it reminds me of Dr. Harvey

and it makes me hate him...

and when I hate him

I feel good.

There isn't any, um...

Oh, no, no, no.

Let me taste it.

Oh, that's awful.

Do you order this often?

Always. Have to.

It's warm in here, isn't it?

I think I'd better take this off.

It's so warm.

Isn't it silly?

It makes my eyes water.

Now, now, now, now.

What's this?

You are in love with my son,

aren't you?

Sorry. May I have

a handkerchief, please?

Yes, of course.

Oh!

That's... That's a lamb chop

I stole at the party.

Stop laughing at me.

Let me see.

Your check, sir.

You've forgotten

to charge for the lamb chop.

Pardon me, sir?

The lamb chop.

I brought you this?

You don't suppose I brought it myself,

do you? Oh, no, no, Mr. Reynolds.

But I wouldn't serve

a lamb chop in an ashtray.

I was a little surprised myself.

But I assure you...

Now look here,

I intend to pay for everything I get.

So will you please put this on the

bill? Yes, sir. Yes, Mr. Reynolds.

Shall we... Shall we dance

before the check comes?

All right.

What's this?

Oh, the conga.

It's very simple.

Two, three, kick.

One, two, three, kick.

Come on, try it.

Kick, one,

two, three, kick.

One, two, three, kick.

One, two, three, kick.

Come on. Wonderful.

One, two, three, kick.

One, two, three, kick.

Oh, look at the old man!

And three weeks ago

they gave him up for dead!

Ooo! Ooo!

Ooo! Ooo!

Ooo! Ooo!

Where is he, Tom?

Well, he, uh...

Dad! Dad!

Dad, stop!

For heaven sake! Jonathan,

you can't do this to me.

I'm not a young man. This is terrible.

Leave me alone. It's wonderful.

How did you get here?

Come on!

Hey! Where are you going?

Jonathan!

Don't go! Jonathan,

you're going with me.

I'm going to put you to

bed. Oh, go to bed yourself.

Jonathan. Jonathan!

I just want to make sure you don't do anything

else for me. You've done enough already.

I beg your pardon. You talk

my father into coming here,

then you get him out there

acting like a 10-year-old, hmm?

Then you have somebody phone

me to break up the party.

All after you promised to fix things up!

You fixed them up all right! Get out...

You come home with me.!

I'm going to put you to

bed! Where did she go?

What did you let her go for?

Jonathan, come along.

Aboard.!

Excuse me.

All aboard.!

Where's the little yellow one?

Hey, wait!

Anne, listen to me! You

can't go! Give me those bags.

Who says I can't go?

Leave those bags there.

Haven't you caused enough

trouble? It's Father!

It's probably the end this time.

Please, you've got to come. He needs you!

Give me the bags!

Give them to him.

Last night was too much

for him. I know it's...

Oh! The little yellow

one! The little yellow one!

Hurry up, get the little yellow

one. Is that all? Which one?

The black one!

Lady, the next time you ain't goin'

no place, why don't you try a plane?

How is he, nurse?

He's very low.

There is a chance, isn't there?

We've given him an injection.

He may pull through. We'd

better go right on up.

Don't you want to see your

father first? My father?

Who's up there?

Why, Dr. Harvey.
