Lilith Page #4

Can't I have a tiny piece?

Yes, ma'am.

Let me do it.

It's like a diamond.

Yes, ma'am.

She swallowed the diamond!

It'd cut her all up inside if it was.

She'd bleed.

- Wanna see my blood?

- Yes, ma'am.

Touch my lips.

It ain't none.

I known you was fooling.

There is, but you can't see it.

It's clear, like water.

She got white blood.

- What color's yours?

- Mine's red. I get cut a lot.

No, it's not.

It's blue.

Hot and blue.

I don't have any money.

Can't pay you for the diamond.

Shall I give you a kiss instead?

- Yes, ma'am.

- Come here.

Goodbye. Thanks. It was delicious.

He's the most beautiful one of all.

He shines like gold.

Vince never told me he was

gonna bring you. He's a sly deviI.

Are you gonna ride?

For me?

You better take the lance too.

It's over by the tree.

I'll get it.

How you gonna ride? I gotta fill out

a entry blank with your name.

- Knight of Poplar Lodge.

- What colors?

Can I use your scarf?

Blue and gold.

We will now commence

the riding of the tournament.

Sir knights, the rules are as follows:

Distance of the course is 80 yards.

The time to ride the course

is 10 seconds.

Your rings are now hanging...

... 6 feet, 9 inches from the ground.

We will now commence

the riding of the tournament.

Knight of Doranstown,

prepare to charge.

Clear the track, please.

Keep your balloons still, children.

Charge, sir knight.

Three rings.

We will now reduce the rings

to three-quarter of an inch.

The ring hangers will now hang

the three-quarter inch rings.

Knight of Doranstown,

prepare to charge.

Keep the tracks clear, please.

Charge, sir knight.

Three rings. Three rings.

Knight of Poplar Lodge,

prepare to charge.

Charge, sir knight.

Three rings!

9.3 seconds.

Best of the day, and the winner.

- Is this your lady?

- Yes.

Crown her queen

of love and beauty.

I love you.

If I died tonight,

would it have been enough?

Then I'll live forever.

So smooth...

...everywhere but where they

wounded you.

Now the wound's mine.

Hello.

Good evening.

Aren't you gonna go in

to dinner?

In a little while.

I can bring a tray up to your room

if you want me to.

No, thank you.

I couldn't help noticing

you've succeeded...

...in persuading Miss Arthur to

accompany you on several occasions.

That's quite remarkable, considering

she hasn't been out in months.

That, of course,

is in your line of duty, isn't it?

Isn't it?

I'm sure you think of yourself

as a very persuasive young man.

That's my job.

I should find it a most

depressing kind of work.

Entertaining eccentric spinsters,

pushing witless girls about.

I don't think of it that way.

No, I'm sure you don't.

You seem to be a man

of principle.

That's less flattering

than you believed.

Good evening, Mr...

Bruce.

Oh, yes, of course.

Principles, Mr. Bruce...

...should always be examined.

We have to be careful.

Do you think loving me is sinful?

Think I have a talent for love?

If my talent were greater than you

think, would you stop loving me?

I don't think you love me.

There are a lot of things that

aren't allowed, but we've done them.

I wonder what they'd do

if they knew.

Should I tell them?

I think, if you think they'll take your

word against mine, you tell them.

If someone on the staff were to support

my story, maybe they would.

What are you talking about?

If I lose this job,

then we don't see each other anymore.

I love you, Vincent.

You dirty b*tch.

If you should discover

that your god loved others...

...as much as he loved you,

would you hate him for it?

I show my love for all of you,

and you despise me.

Oh, Mr. Bruce?

I want to show this to you.

It's the gift I'm making for her.

I showed it to Miss Brice before.

She thought it was lovely, didn't you?

- Yes.

- It's made out of cedar.

As you can see,

the design is very intricate.

You know, I've never made anything

with my hands before.

It's for her pastels.

I've never seen her so happy before,

have you?

Vincent?

Vincent, my goodness.

What in the world are you doing

out there in the rain?

I just went out for a walk,

and I happened to be passing by.

Why don't you stop in for a minute.

We're just about to have our coffee.

Would you like to have

a cup with us?

I know Norman would like

to meet you very much.

If it isn't too much trouble,

I'd like to meet him.

Norman.

Norman, this is Vincent Bruce

that I told you so much about.

Well, how do you do? We've been

waiting long enough for this pleasure.

- Thank you.

- Vincent happened to be passing by.

- He'll have a cup of coffee with us.

- Fine, wonderful.

Sit down there, Vince,

while Laura stirs us up some coffee.

- You won't be long?

- It's almost ready.

- Remember my meeting?

- I don't see how I could forget it.

I've got United Citizens CounciI

tonight.

Women don't understand

the importance of civic things.

A man attends

his civic responsibilities...

...and they feel deserted.

- I guess they do.

I guess you're mighty glad to be back,

aren't you?

- Yeah.

- It's quite an adventure, wasn't it?

Yes, it was.

I tried twice to sign up myself,

but I couldn't make the grade.

Colon trouble.

The TV bother you? I'll just...

Say, I don't suppose

there's any possibility...

...you knew my brother.

He's in the 1 st Marine Division...

...over there in your part

of the world somewhere.

No, no, I don't.

- That was a great outfit, though.

- Great outfit, wasn't it? Great.

Nick had a fine war record.

He's doing well now too.

He turned out to be real natural

as a traveling salesman.

Found a kind of unusual line

for an ex-Marine.

Every time I see him now, I say:

"Nick, I never thought I'd see you

in ladies' underwear."

Ladies' underwear, that's his line,

ladies' underwear.

Yeah, I got it.

The joke's on us. He made 3600

last year in commissions.

There's no laugh about that,

is there?

No.

I wish sometimes

I went on the road myself.

It's a good life,

in more ways than one.

Honey!

Do you have to shout like that,

Norman?

You know Mother's

trying to get some sleep.

Well, let's not go into that now.

How about the coffee?

I don't want to barge in

on you like this.

No, no, no. You stay.

We want to hear all about you.

Laura tells me you're over

at the asylum. Is that right?

Yeah, I'm training to be something

they call an occupational therapist.

Is that so?

An occupational therapist?

I bet that's pretty interesting work,

isn't it?

- It can be.

- Yeah.

Say...

...I bet you some pretty funny stuff

goes on in a place like that, isn't it?

Come to think of it,

Laura was telling me...

...that your mother

used to be a little...

Oh, thank you.

You caught me on a bad night. I have

to run, or I'm gonna miss this meeting.

- I think I better be going...

- No, no, no. You stay.

Laura, you get him

some of the blueberry muffins.

Did you put the garbage out?

- I'll get it later.

- That's the third night...

I can't think of everything now.
