Lover Come Back Page #9

That's it, let's discuss it.

Where can I go to get

this marriage annulled?

Now, darling, it's only natural to

be a little frightened at first.

Like olives, dear, it's something

you acquire a taste for.

Get me New York City,

Plaza 89970. I'll hold on.

Hello, Pete? This is Jerry.

I'm in Maryland, but I

don't know how I got here.

I'll tell you how you got there.

You ate some of those

poison pellets

your Frankenstein friend Tyler

came up with.

Candy nothing! That stuff

turns into pure alcohol.

Oh, that explains it.

What about the Ad Council?

Well, they found Northcross

barricaded in the ladies' lounge

at Radio City Music Hall.

Williams was on stage,

dancing with the Rockettes.

And Magnuson just washed up

on the beach at Waikiki.

Yeah, he's alive.

Can't find

the District Attorney though.

Oh?

Is he a gray-haired man

with a moustache?

I think he was best man

at my wedding.

Relax, Pete. I'm gonna

sign the confession.

I'm taking the rap

for everything.

No, you're not. I'm not letting

you take the rap alone.

And I'll see that

Hadley signs that, too.

That won't be necessary.

Excuse me,

Mr. Ramsey.

There are two men here to see you.

They wanna talk to you about VIP.

It's the FBI!

Send them in here.

I don't want you to think

that I'm abandoning you.

The same brilliant lawyers

who drew up this iron-clad document

will be right by your side in court,

trying to break it.

I'll get you a fair trial if I have

to buy out every person in the jury.

Thanks.

Mr. Ramsey?

I'm Ramsey. But this is the man you want.

Jerry Webster.

He alone is responsible for VIP.

He invented it.

He dreamed it up.

Is that true,

Mr. Webster?

Yes.

It's all right here.

Don't say another word

until I get the lawyers.

We don't need lawyers here,

Mr. Webster.

Now, what is your price?

Price? We represent

the liquor industry.

How much would it take

to burn that formula?

Well, I...

Gentlemen, you don't seem to realize

what you're asking me to do.

Now, look. The government

is going to stop you anyhow.

But every day that candy is on the market,

we lose money. Now name your price.

Now, let's see.

The liquor industry spends roughly $60

million a year in advertising. Right?

Right. And we're prepared to give

you 20% of our total billing.

You can open your own

agency with an account like that.

Twenty-five percent.

Agreed.

And you're not to give the account to me.

You're to give it to Mrs...

That is...

Miss Carol Templeton, of

Brackett, MacAlpin and Gaines.

If that's what you want.

It is.

Shall we?

Our attorneys will draw up

an agreement for your signature.

Fine. No.

Send it to San Francisco. I'm

moving to our West Coast office.

Very well.

Thank you, Mr. Webster.

Thank you.

Are you taking

Mr. Webster with you?

No, he's going to San Francisco.

San Francisco?

Alcatraz!

This one I didn't notice...

Yeah, take all of these.

Oh, Pete.

I'll be leaving tonight.

We'll miss you, boy.

I'm taking Kelly with me.

If anybody can do it, you can.

Hello. Hello, Mr. Webster.

This is Millie,

Miss Templeton's secretary.

You know that girl you married nine

months ago and she got it annulled?

Well, it seems that there was

something she couldn't get annulled.

She'd kill me if she knew

I was calling you,

but I think that every man

has a right to know

when he's about

to become a father.

Got the marriage license.

And the judge has agreed to waive

the three-day waiting period.

Yes, I can marry you

immediately.

The ring! I haven't got the ring!

Here, you can use mine.

Yours?

Well, I've been carrying it for years.

I believe in being prepared.

Carol,

please, listen to me.

I will not marry you.

Now go away, I'm busy.

Darling, I love you.

No, you don't. You went to

California and forgot me.

Forgot you? I sent you

hundreds of letters.

I wrote one every day

for eight months.

And the ninth month, when I

needed you most, not a word!

I didn't know

what was happening.

You sent back every letter,

unopened.

If you loved me,

you'd have kept on writing.

Darling, I do love you.

Please marry me!

Well, I'll have to

think about it.

I don't want to rush

into anything.

Now you listen to me.

You're going up there

to have my baby, my son...

It's my baby and I'll have what I want,

and I've decided to have a girl.

Have whatever makes you happy. I love

you both. Now will you marry me?

I always wanted

a church wedding.

The next baby,

we'll have a church wedding.

Now, please, say yes.

Oh, yes!

Judge?

Join hands, please.

We are gathered together to unite

this man and this woman in marriage.

...as such, I trust it

will symbolize your union.

Then by the powers vested in me by

the sovereign State of New York,

I now pronounce you

man and wife.

Man! That's what I call

cutting it close!
