- Where's Mr. Reynolds?

- I'm here.

We make a very handsome couple. Who?

You and I. Why, you

old... Do you know what...

You should have seen the doctor

when he found out I was faking.

He fluttered to the floor

like an autumn leaf. Wonderful.

Wonderful.

You told me

you'd have this picture destroyed.

Destroyed? If I'd done that,

they'd never have seen it!

They?

Oh, you know, those women.

Those bead-twirlers.

They called just before they left.

They've gone...

I mean, they've gone?

They saw that picture

in the paper.

They said they were taking the

first train back to Mexico City.

I advised them to take a plane.

It's quicker.

What... What are you trying to

do, marry us off? Good heavens, no.

You don't even care

for each other, do you?

Certainly not!

Of course not!

I didn't think so.

Any girl who throws drinks in people's

faces in nightclubs... fine thing.

You deserved it.

I deserved it?

Yes, you deserved it

and you got it.

What about all those insults

you were handing out last night?

Insults? What about the night

you came in here with all that...

"Forgive me,Johnny'"stuff?

I had to do that

because I wanted to sing.

What about you pinching girls in front

of your own father? I was forced into it.

I never pinch girls in front of my

own father, unless I'm forced into it.

I don't care why you did it,

it hurt.

What do you want me to do about

it? Well,you can say you're sorry.

What about the drink?

Well, I'm sorry about that.

All right, I'm sorry

I pinched you then.

Honest?

Mm-hmm.

Never do it again?

Never.

Promise?

Mm-hmm.

Johnny!
