Moon Over Miami Page #6

- Oh, about 30 miles off the mainland.

- Nice going, Kay.

- We enjoyed it very much.

- Thank you. Jeff?

- Huh?

- Who is that girl?

- Connie Fentress. You know.

You met her at my party.

Yes, I know, but, well, who is she?

- The Fentress grocery stores.

You've heard of them.

- Oh. The chain stores?

That's the outfit.

All over the country.

- They do pretty well, don't they?

- Oh, they do awfully well.

So does Connie. Only child.

She's always been crazy about Phil.

Looks like now the idea

is beginning to appeal to him.

- Jeff.

- Uh-huh?

Uh, let's leave tonight.

Now. Could we?

Tonight? Well, swell.

But why all of a sudden?

Oh, I don't know. I-I just thought

the trip would be nicer at night...

- moonlight on the water and everything.

- Well, fine.

I've got a couple of things to

do first, but it won't take long.

Come on. Let's duck.

Did you have a good time?

- Say, what about Barbara?

- Oh, I'll send Susan over for her.

All right. I'll check out

and be over before you know it.

Fine, Jeff.

I'll be ready.

Won't be more

than 15 minutes.

Hello.

Oh, hello.

- Did you have fun?

- Oh, I had a wonderful time. Thanks.

How are you doing

with Connie?

- I'm leading.

- Good.

Yeah, I guess that's it.

Well, plenty to eat.

You can honeymoon

for one store to another.

Fine steaks too.

Best meat in the country.

I'm glad. We're, uh, leaving

in a few minutes.

Tonight? Well, Jeff said you're going

tomorrow. Why the sudden change?

Oh, I just felt like it.

That's the best reason.

- Big wedding?

- No. Nobody.

Hi, there, Mr. Sylvester.

- Is somebody down there?

- Yeah, there he is.

The old gentleman himself.

Come on. I don't believe

you two have ever met.

You'll like him.

He's been a pet around here for years.

- He belong to the hotel?

- Sort of.

And the hotel sort of

belongs to Mr. Sylvester.

You see, he won't let another crow

come within miles of this place.

Mr. Sylvester, I want you to meet

a very good friend of mine.

That's it.

Mr. Sylvester, Miss Latimer.

Hello, Mr. Sylvester.

Well, aren't you- aren't you gonna

shake hands with the lady?

Shake hands.

That's a good fellow.

Here. With the compliments

of Mr. Sylvester.

Oh, thank you, sir.

Look, he wants something.

Hmm. He wants us

to dig worms for him.

Mr. Sylvester doesn't

want very much, does he?

And Mr. Sylvester always

gets what he wants.

Hey, you two.

You look lovely

down there together...

butJeff's been looking

all over for you, Latimer.

and I've been looking

all over for McNeil.

I'm, uh, gonna stay down here

for a little while, if you don't mind.

Of course I mind.

But you'll stay down there anyway.

I'll be right up. And if you

seeJeff, tell him Phil and

I were just saying good-bye.

And laughing at the moon?

- Yes, that's right.

Laughing at the moon.

- Watch out.

Sometimes the moon strikes back.

It's been laughing

longer than you have, you know.

Guess I'd better be going.

Yeah. Better had.

Wait a minute.

- I'm wondering.

- What?

What it's gonna be

like here tomorrow.

Oh. The weatherman says

it's going to be fine.

I wonder.

I've never missed

anyone in my life.

I've got a hunch I'm gonna find out

what that's like for the first time.

- Do me a favor?

- Mm-hmm.

Go up these steps,

just for a minute, out of sight.

I want to see what

it feels like to be alone.

All right.

Well, what's it like?

Oh, it's not so bad.

- You'll live?

- Oh, yes. And you?

Oh, I guess I'll live too.

But I've had a very pretty

time, mister. And thanks.

It was a very pretty time.

And if I ever see you again-

- Where's Susan?

- Outside somewhere

saying good-bye toJack.

What's the matter with you?

Why aren't you gay?

We've got what we wanted,

haven't we?

Well, of course, darling.

I'm gay.

No, kidding? You really got

a farewell present for me?

I certainly have.

I'll join you right after the wedding.

In the meantime, here's a jar of

guacamala sauce to remember me by.

Oh, that's swell. That's wonderful.

But I'd have remembered you anyway.

Oh, Jack.

What are you gonna do

for guacamala with me away?

I don't know. I guess I'll have to

get it someplace else.

- Oh, Jack, you won't find it

as good anyplace else. Mmm?

- Kay, when are you gonna tell Jeff?

- Tell him what?

That I'm your sister and

Susan's our aunt,

and this is all an act?

Well, not until after we're married...

but I guess I'll have to

confess the whole trick sometime.

- What is she talking about?

- Nothing. Nothing at all.

Small talk. Small talk.

I still think you're gonna get in

trouble marrying for money, instead of love.

- Good-bye, Jack. Good-bye.

- Good-bye. Shh.

- Turn that water off.

- I'm thirsty! Aren't you? I'm very thirsty!

Shh!

Ready, Susan-

Hello, Jack.

- How are you?

- So...

Gee, I-I-I'll bet

you're gonna miss Susan.

Why, hello, Jack.

Don't you "hello" me.

I been took by gold diggers.

- What till Mr. Jeffrey Bolton

hears about this.

- Oh, but, Jack, you-

- No buts. I'll break this up good.

I'm gonna tell him.

- No, you don't.

- Let me go! Get out of the way!

- No!

Let me out of here!

Let go! Let go! Let go!

Let me-

I'll get out of here!

Barbara, over there!

She's fainted.

Look what you've done to your great love!

And it's all your fault!

- Oh, poor Susan.

- She's hardly breathing. Quick,

Jack, get the smelling salts.

- Where is the smelling salts?

- In the bathroom.

l-ln there!

Hurry, Jack! Please!

Come on.

- Hey.! Open the door.!

- Come on, get the bags!

Let's get away from here quick!

- Let me out ofhere.!

- Go put your coat on!

Open the door!

You can't do this to me!

- I'll get out ofhere somehow.!

- Get going! Get going!

You won't get rid of me.! Hey.!

I'll get out of here!

I'll get out of here someway!

You wait and see!

I'll follow you

no matter where you go!

I'm mad now!

I'm real mad!

- Good evening, miss.

- How do you do?

- Ah, Mr. Jeffrey, welcome home.

- Thank you, Brearley.

- Well, is everything here?

- Why, I think so.

- Oh, Brearley?

- Yes, sir?

I think finally I've got a surprise to

bring at least a little flicker from you.

I shall try to meet the situation

adequately as always, sir.

Fine. Darling, as you may

have gathered, uh, this is-

- Brearley. How do you do?

- How do you do, miss?

- And, Brearley, this is Miss Latimer.

- Miss Latimer.

- Miss Latimer will be

the new mistress of the house.

- Really, sir?

That is supposed to be the surprise.

May I say that I hope

you'll both be very happy.

Oh. Well, that's very kind of you,

Brearley, and thank you.

Yes, it's really wonderful.

- This will be a happy

surprise for you, sir.

- Uh-huh?

- Your father got home a few minutes ago.

- What? 2:
30 and home?

He must be slipping.

Uh, with a, uh, lady?

No, sir. A business affair

I believe, sir.

Oh, well, he is slipping. Uh, where will

we find the lord and master?

The master, I believe, sir, is, uh-

in the kitchen.

In the kitchen.
