No Time for Love Page #9

There's a picture of you on the

front page, almost recognizable.

Never mind me. What brought you here?

Don't rush me, I'm being diplomatic.

There's also an announcement

of Kate's engagement to Henry...

...right alongside the obituaries.

Congratulate her for me. He's a nice fellow.

Are we talking about the same Henry?

Look, Roger, you're a sweet little

guy, but what brought you here?

I think Kate should be

marrying you instead of Henry.

What does she think?

She knows it.

I see.

What did she say?

Nothing.

But I know for a fact that, from the first...

Kate fell for you like a ton of oats...

...and in trying to prove

you were no good for her...

...she proved just the opposite.

Then why is she marrying Henry?

You ask that with your toes bruised.

...from the kicks you've planted on her?

And if you ever feel like taking any

bows for what you're doing here...

...it might interest you to know that.

Kate's responsible for

the second chance you got.

No. Yes.

We went back into the tunnel with Clancy.

I fell down and came up

loaded with Kate's camera.

Then she presented photographic proof.

...to the officials that

your machine would work.

Why can't that woman let

me alone? I've got pride.

Just once in his life, a guy likes to feel.

...that he's getting somewhere on his own.

What are you trying to

tell me, that I'm a stooge?

Personally, Ryan, I think you're a goof.

Hoppy, you show all the

brilliance of an Italian general.

Sophie, will you be kind enough to

keep your eyes in their own sockets?

Play your hand as you see fit, my dear.

I'm simply outmaneuvering her.

You're getting a little bald, Henry.

Please, dear.

Do they have to make so much noise in there?

We can't concentrate.

May I ask if you've picked

up the nine of clubs?

You may, but I won't tell you.

When you pick up a card, Hoppy...

...you're supposed to lay one down.

I know rules are aggravating,

dear, but so is the way you play.

You put things so nicely, Henry.

All the charm of an

eight-year-old brat.

Hello. Yeah.

Well?

If you would be so kind as

to remove your bodyguard.

I and you could settle

this thing, man to man.

All right, Hilda. Settle what?

Oh, you know what I'm talking

about. A guy named Ryan.

Nothing remains to be settled about Ryan...

...and it's obvious you don't realize.

...you've intruded into my engagement party.

Now don't give me that ersatz.

This is strictly a front.

You're still just bursting

your stays trying to get my man.

Your man?

Yeah, my man.

Oh, now, lookie here, fluffy

face. Don't get me mad.

Because if I get mad, I'm liable

to throw you a dirty look...

...and where I look dirty,

no grass grows. Ever.

It so happens that I'm not after

Ryan, and he's not after me.

Okay, okay, okay, so he not after

you, but he ain't forgot you.

So I'm just warning you to keep

your chassis out of the way.

Now is that enlightenment clear enough?

Or do I gotta make it clearer?

Apparently Ryan didn't teach you anything.

You punched me.

So she did, right on the button.

Did you think I wasn't going to show up?

See what I mean?

Katherine, this is positively fantastic.

Did you have the audacity to

invite this man here tonight?

No, that was somebody else's idea.

Hey, put me down! Pardon me, folks. Come on.

No, Ryan... Put me down!

Ryan, put him down. No, look...

They've locked the door.

Ryan, just what do you think you're doing?

You had it fixed, huh?

You know, once you said this chair

had more character that I did.

I think you were moving a little fast there.

Ryan, if you don't release me

this instant, I'll call the police.

Go ahead and call.

I think you're moving too fast again.

So I thought we better

have a little check-up.

Well, figure it this way.

The law allows you to have only

one of us, and we all want you...

...regardless of what's

been said on both sides.

Well... Go ahead, make your pick.

Katherine, are you going to

be a party to this nonsense?

You big ape.

That makes you an ape's wife.

Oh, no.

Goodbye, Henry.

Ryan. Ryan, here I am.

Hey, hey, hey. Let her go.

No, Hop. Somebody open the door for him.

Thanks, pal. Drop over for dinner sometime.

Tomorrow night? Oh, no, not tomorrow night.
