Not Wanted Page #2

Synopsis: Twentyish Sally Kelton is unhappy at home and in the drab town in which she lives, until she meets roving musician Steve Ryan. Sally falls for Steve, but to Steve, she's just another fling before he heads to another town. Sally decides to "pull up stakes" and heads on a bus to Steve's next stop. On the road, she meets Drew Baxter, owner of a gaseteria in the town where she's heading. Drew sets Sally up with a room at a local boarding house and a job at his business. Try as he might, Drew can't win Sally's heart from Steve, who has remained indifferent to Sally since her arrival. When Steve heads off to South America, Sally is even more despondent--especially after she learns that she's pregnant with his child.

promise I'll never do it again.

Tell you what I'm going to do.

I'm going to personally deliver you home

and give you all a piece of my mind.

Now, go ahead.

Alright Mrs. Kelton.

I hold you and your husband responsible ..

...for her behaviour from now on.

But if it ever happens again

I'm going to book her.

You watch your step.

Well, go on!

Say it!

Say it!!

Stop it, Sally.

Don't Harry. Leave her alone.

It'll keep until later.

Let's go back to bed and try

to get an hour's sleep.

Here. Stick this under your back.

Go on...

Thanks.

It's okay.

I hope it doesn't smell

too "gamey".

I, uh been on a fishing trip.

I caught a couple of real beauties.

I've got them up there

in the bag.

Oh, it just smells fine, thanks.

By the way, the name is

Drew Baxter.

What's yours?

Mine's Sally Kelton.

Sally Kelton? Nice name.

Where you going?

Im going to Capital City.

Same here. That's my home town.

Gee, I hate to bother you but ..

It's a pleasure.

Well.

I was wondering.

Do you happen to know of ..

...of a room I can get in Capital City

that isn't too expensive?

A room?

Yeah. There's a pal of mine, name

of Mrs. Nigh over on East Street.

She runs a pretty nice place.

Here.

I had a friend of mine staying there

once. I never caught him scratching.

Mrs. Nigh...

She's a pretty good old dame.

Oh, thanks a lot.

You alone?

I mean, uh...

...you know. No friends or

relatives in town?

Oh, I have some relatives

and some friends but...

But, I don't want to just

barge in on them.

Right. Sure...

Look... I've got an idea.

Don't get me wrong. But, well, if you're

not doing anything tomorrow night. ..

...how about a meal and

a fifty-cent guided tour?

Well, that's awfully sweet

of you, but ..

...why, I have another engagement.

Ah well.

Okay.

But if you're uh...

...at a loose end, well

give me a buzz.

Irving 2-8-4-2. I'm at the Gas-A-Teria centre.

The what? -You know "Gas

You know the "Gas-A-Teria", drive-in.

Serve yourself, sort of thing.

You know - a gas station?

I manage the place.

Hey bud...

Yeah?

Is there any part of this

that will keep until tomorrow?

Oh yeah, sure.

Great.

Sally!

Hello Steve!

I'll bet you're surprised to see me.

Yeah?

What gives?

Oh Steve, isn't it wonderful?

Here we are!

Well! Aren't you glad to see me?

Yeah, I'm glad to see you.

Only isn't this kind of crazy?

What do you mean, Steve?

Well, what's it all about?

I knew it...

I left home.

I couldn't stand things the way

they were anymore.

Wait a minute.

You mean you just pulled up

stakes? For good?

Yes.

What are you going to do?

I'll get a job.

I got a room this morning.

Its only a few blocks from here.

So we'll, we'll be able to see

each other all the time now.

Steve, you.... you don't seem

very glad to see me.

It isn't that Sally.

I just think it was a whacky

thing for you to do.

Leaving your folks,

traipsing way up here.

I'm busy! I've got a million

things to do.

I won't have any time to

spend with you.

Gee Steve...

I'm sorry to bother you.

I just wanted to be with you.

You said, if I ever came this

way, to look you up.

Sally, Sally, don't get me wrong.

I think the world of you.

You know that, but...

...well I didn't expect you.

I made other plans.

I'm up to my ears on the

deal I'm working on.

I just don't have any free

time. That's all.

Look! ..... Look, I tell you what.

I'll call you the first free night I get ..

...and we'll do the town, Okay?

Okay.

I'd make it tonight, but I'm

all jammed up ..

...with some piano arrangements

I'm doing for a guy.

Sure.

Come on. Have a cup

of coffee, huh?

Then I want to play you

something I wrote.

No Steve...

I think I'd better go now.

Well, have a cup of coffee...

No. I really have to go.

Come on Sally. Let's have it.

What's the money situation.

I can let you have a little.

Thanks Steve.

I'll be fine.

I guess I'd better...

go now.

What's the phone number where you're

staying? I'll remember it.

Chester 1-3-4-3.

Chester 1-3-4-3.

It's a hall phone. So, the

landlady will answer.

Hmm hmm.

Well.

I'll be running along.

You will call, won't you Steve?

What do you think?

Goodbye Steve.

So long, honey.

Well, hullo!

What will you have? Regular or rental?

Well, I thought I'd just drop

by and say hello.

Well, come on while I dump

these. We'll have a Coke,

Here. Here is a chair.

Hey, this is a wonderful surprise.

You know, I never expected to

clap eyes on you again.

Get a little sleep?

Yeah.

Here.

Hey, come on now.

Nothing's that bad...

Oh Sally...

Here, blow hard a couple of times.

You'll feel like a new person.

Thanks.

That's the stuff.

Drew.

I guess I need a job.

I hate to bother you, but ..

Well, there isn't anyone else

I can turn to.

What's the matter?

Relatives give you the brush?

Yeah, I guess you'd call it that.

Hey. I've got an idea!

One of the kids here is

getting married next week.

That makes us short a girl.

How about taking a

crack at it?

That sounds wonderful but ..

Well, I don't know anything

about that kind of thing.

You don't have to.

Look pretty ..

...smile when they hand

you the dough ..

...be sure you give the right change.

And you're in.

And have dinner with me tonight.

Gee.

Drew, I don't know how to

thank you, but.

Well, I'm going to try awfully hard.

That's all settled then.

You start Wednesday.

But tonight you got to eat so.

Well, how about my invitation?

Well ..

I'm kind of tired tonight. I think

I'll go home and take it easy.

You understand, don't you?

That's the story of my life, honey.

I always understand.

But, look I'm the boss ..

...and you're liable to lose your job.

Ah but.....

You're such a nice girl.

I'll let it go this time.

Okay?

Drink.

Yeah? Who do you want?

Is it for me Mrs. Nigh?

No... He left about a month ago.

You're welcome.

They're all alike, honey.

Never call when you want them to.

Hello.....

Granada Club?

May I speak to Steve Ryan please.

Tell him it's "Miss Kelton" calling.

Hello! Steve!

What?

Oh. He's left already?

No.....

No message.

Thanks.

Hey, I want to have a big discussion

with you during lunch-hour.

Sure Drew ..

Honey, am I tired.

Brother, this is one day I'll really

be glad to see over.

Here. Double-egg.

Good for you.

You know ..

What I wanted to talk to you about was

last Saturday night you gave me the brush.

This Saturday night, you're not

going to get away with it.

Wake up! And go on and eat.

You're getting too thin.

Well, how about me going

crazy tonight ..

...and spending three bucks on

you for dinner?

Okay.

Swell. But don't wear

the family jewels.

This is a strictly

delicatessen date.

Now go on and eat.

Watch the smoke in that one!

When it goes through the tunnel.

See the smoke?

Look at this one, Sally. The

light working at the front.

Right here. See it? And

in the back. See it there?

Wonderful!

Want to see other train

effects? Watch this.

Night! Now watch the gate.
