Love with the Proper Stranger Page #4

...I'll melt right into the wallpaper

just like everybody else.

Love, huh?

That's what makes it rough.

When they love you.

Come in.

Come on.

Come on.

- Move.

- Come on.

Hey, buddy, wait.

You have to wait out here now.

Come on, hurry up.

Get undressed.

Well, come on.

Take it easy.

Are you a doctor?

You said a doctor.

Take it or leave it.

Come on, put your clothes on.

Get your clothes on.

We're gonna get out of here.

Come on.

Come on!

Get your clothes...

Come on, get your clothes on and...

Come on...

Come on... get your clothes on.

Get your clothes on.

I want you to get out of here.

Get your clothes on. Now!

Get your...

- Oh, God...

- Get your clothes on now.

No...

No, no, no, no!

I'll kill them before they can touch you.

I'll kill them...

It's okay,

it's a friend of mine's apartment.

He works nights.

You need some rest.

Hi.

Now knock it off.

It's been a rough morning.

All right, now. Here, eat.

No, no, that's not yours. Here.

No, no, here's yours.

Don't you believe in knocking?

What are you doing here?

Paying the rent, for one thing.

Which brings me to a little Orphan Annie

you parked here.

Incidentally, without my permission.

Number one, which I would not give you,

number two over my dead body.

Take it easy, will you?

I want you to meet a friend of mine.

Dominic Rossini, Barbie Margolies

I'm sorry we kinda busted in on you

like this.

- Oh...

- Where's the girl?

Honey, would you put some coffee on, hm?

Well, it's a lovely day, isn't it?

- Angela...

- I gotta talk...

I have to tell you, Angie, I...

When he told me my whole stomach

turned over on me.

I mean it. I'll tell you the truth,

I can't believe it.

Anyhow, we had a long talk.

And the thing is,

he came to me like a man.

And he's willing to marry you.

Why?

I know you're embarrassed

by the stupid way he put it, but...

I'm not embarrassed. I'd like to know.

- What do you mean stupid?

- Stupid, you're stupid.

- You're calling me stupid?

- Why don't you cool it?

Will you stop that?

Sit down.

The both of you.

The both of you, will you sit down?

Do you want to get married?

I said I would, didn't I?

That's not what I asked you.

Well, who wants to get married?

You mean, even though you

don't wanna marry me...

...you're willing to do it anyway?

Well...

I'm just as much to blame as you are.

More, it was my fault the whole thing and

I'm willing to take my medicine.

That's really wonderful.

And I'm the medicine, right?

I know this may come as a great big shock

to the both of you...

...but underneath all this hair and skin

is a human girl.

With all the regular things going for me.

Believe it or not.

I don't wanna spend the rest of my life married

to a man who's doing me a big favor.

- What did I say?

- What are you talking about?

All right, I made one mistake.

And it was a beaut.

But that doesn't mean I have to ruin

my whole life, and his, and the baby's.

The man is willing to marry you.

What do you want?

I don't want to be a warden all my life.

The Prisoner of Zenda?

Look...

I appreciate what you're willing to do.

I mean that.

I really mean it.

But as long as you feel like

being married is being in jail...

...then you won't be happy, right?

So if you're not happy,

then you take it out on me.

And then I'm not happy.

And if you're not happy, then I'm not happy,

and the baby's not happy.

Who needs a house full of unhappy people?

Where are you going?

I don't know. I gotta get out of here.

I'm gonna be late for work.

You wanna hear me say

I wanna get married?

All right.

I wanna get married.

I'm only trying to be honest with you.

Tell the truth.

If I said okay, your teeth would fall out?

Right or wrong?

Dominic, I really owe you an apology,

you know.

I really do.

All this time I've been blaming you

for everything.

You ruining my life and all that.

Well, that's over now.

You know why I've never been able

to leave home?

I just suddenly figured it out.

Very complicated.

I was scared.

And I'm not scared anymore.

I'm terrified. Funny?

Well, listen.

Thank you Barbie for the use

of the Teddy bear.

Coffee anyone?

All my life sacrificing myself to have her

away like this.

- She'll come back...

- Nonsense!

I understand how you feel Mrs Rossini.

But in this country it isn't

considered unusual...

...for a girl to want an apartment of her own.

There's a little more to it

than just wanting an apartment...

Sure, tell him. Tell the whole world.

Why don't you put it in the paper.

Mamma, we asked him to come here

to help.

He's a priest, Ma.

In the church he's a priest. In my house

he don't have to know everything.

- All right, mamma, you rest now.

- Yes, yes, in my grave I'm gonna rest.

It's like a stab in my heart.

- Take it easy, mamma.

- Go away! Leave me alone!

In my grave I'm gonna rest.

Hey, don't forget...

What we're trying to do...

is there any way you can make a person

get married if they don't wanna?

There must be a law or something.

Look, there's no law.

I told you before, you can't force a person

to get married.

Look, I'll bury you.

Get him out of here.

Not in front of the priest.

Get out of here.

Go out to the kitchen. Sit down.

You can force somebody to pay upkeep,

or something like that...

...but you can't force somebody to get married.

My son, often in this world you'll find...

...that the law of man comes second

to the law of God.

- And the individual conscience of man...

- Look, Father, I...

Admit your guilt, my child,

and face the full responsibility.

I'm willing to get married.

She won't.

- But didn't you say...

- She don't wanna.

I'll tell you what she wants.

She wants bells and banjos.

- Banjos?

- What banjos?

You want me to tell you something?

What am I doing here?

I was willing to do my part.

She didn't want me.

Right?

Good luck. From now on it's your problem.

- From now on it's your problem.

- Hey, wait a minute.

- Listen, just for a minute.

- No.

Wait a minute, just a second.

What a shame! What a shame.

What have I done to deserve this?

Hey, Angie!

- Hi.

- How are you?

Fine.

- How are you?

- Fine.

That's fine.

How're you doing in your little room

and everything?

Who said it's a little room?

It's two rooms and a half.

Mom's in bed, you know.

We had a doctor and everything.

I think she lost the will to live.

Dom, she'll live.

Listen, I gotta run. I'll see you, okay?

Taxi!

- Maybe we could have some lunch or something?

- What?

I said maybe we could have lunch

or something.

I can't, Dom.

I got an appointment.

Taxi.

Who with?

The beauty parlor.

Okay, what for?

Hey, taxi!

What you got?

A date or something?

Maybe.

Who have you got a date with?

Taxi.

Do I know him?

Where did you meet him?

Can't you tell me who he is, at least?

Rock Hudson.

On a horse.

So I'm lucky I fell on my,

you know, wrist.

- I know this lady lives on the Avenue...

- The cake is almost, you know.
