Not Wanted Page #3

See....... night!

Day!

Ain't it wonderful?

Oh, you're wonderful!

So anyway, when I ..

...when I got back from

overseas ..

...first thing I did was ..

...blowed all my cash

on some really good track.

You can't get them to really zip

unless your tracks are the best.

Then I got old man Green who own

this place to let me use it.

One minute.

We're ready to go.

Hook them up.

And we're off.

Oh no. Not again.

Here I go. Hold the fort.

Drew!

What is it? Are you alright?

Yeah. I'm okay.

Funny that.

I wondered when you were

going to ask about that Sally.

Had a little skirmish with

a mortar shell.

Plastic.

Bad habit of mine. I never

watch where I'm going.

Now you get back up there.

Yes sir!

Just be a minute now...

What about your folks Drew?

Oh, my mother died when

I was a kid.

My father passed away

about three years ago.

Do you have any family?

Yeah.

But, I guess they don't want

any part of me right now.

Look Sally, I don't want to pry but ..

...don't you think you ought

to let them know where you are?

Huh?

Don't worry. I knew on the bus that

night that you were pulling up stakes.

Running away from something.

Let's not talk about it now, huh...

Okay.

Ready to go now. Hold on.

There it goes!

Now watch it this time Sally.

It goes all the way round

the corner.

Over there and through

the tunnel.

And watch the drop-gate come down

as it comes out of the tunnel.

Watch the drop-gate over there.

There it goes! See it?

It goes all the way down to

make it go around the bridge.

And there's another drop-gate

over here.

Lights on it this time. A little man comes out.

Watch him.

Here it goes.

Now watch it when it goes through the bridge

and it gets over here a little man comes out.

There he goes Sally. Look!

Drew!

Wait a minute.

Would you mind taking me

home, Drew?

Okay....... sure.

It's.... It's just that I'm

kind of dead on my feet.

Okay, Sally.

Drew, you don't know what this

has meant to me tonight.

Why.

You run a wonderful railroad.

You really think so, Sally?

Yeah.

Thanks.

Come on. Home you go.

Come in.

Come in!

Hello Steve.

Hello.

I've been calling you

day-after-day.

Didn't you get my messages?

Yeah.

I called you earlier this morning too.

I didn't answer the phone

this morning.

Steve, I know you're busy

and I hate to bother you.

What is it Sally? What is it?

You said you'd call me.

And you haven't.

Yeah. I know.

I'm sorry. I'm really sorry.

I'm all tied up with this stuff.

A guy's paying me for it

and I've got to meet a deadline.

Just isn't going right.

Maybe if you took things easier, Steve?

No, no, no. It's not that.

It's me.

I can't concentrate.

Got to get it through because

I need the extra dough.

I'm pulling up stakes at

the end of this week.

Heading for South America.

You're leaving?

Yup.

I don't know what it is.

I stay in one town too long... `

...get stir crazy. Can't see straight

any more.

So, I'm taking off.

Maybe this time, I'll hit

the jackpot.

Steve, you can't mean that!

You're not going to go.

You're not leaving me.

Look, Sally, that's the way it is.

Maybe it's a sickness with me.

I don't know.

But I got to keep going until I find

some place where I belong.

Then take me with you!

I'll take care of you!

We can be married.

I'll help you find where

you belong.

Please Steve? It means everything to me.

You won't be sorry.

You couldn't stop caring

just like that.

Look, Sally.

You're a good kid.

Some day you'll settle down ..

...with five kids and a husband

with a pipe.

But I'm not that guy.

I've got to keep moving.

Travel light, don't you see?

Maybe I'll live miserably ever after.

But that's the way it is with me.

You never cared anything

about me, did you?

And all the time ..

...I thought it was the most

wonderful thing I'd ever known.

The way I thought about you.

I thought you felt that way too.

And all the time, you didn't care.

Not even a little bit.

I must have seemed awfully

silly and cheap to you.

Mustn't I?

Shut up!

Oh, that's the way I feel.

Silly and cheap!

Shut up!

Now you listen to me!

All my life I've stuck to

one principal.

Never get involved!

And you know why?

Because I'm tired, Sally.

I'm tired of rooms like this.

I'm tired of cheap out-of-tune

pianos. I'm tired of joints.

If I'm going to get where I'm

going, I have to do it alone!

You're forgetting something Sally.

We were two people who knew

what we were doing. Remember?

I never gave you any phony

ideas about getting married ..

...and growing old together. That's

something you got into your head.

If I've hurt you Sally, I'm sorry.

But I never lied to you.

Now get that straight!

Steve...

I've got it straight.

Thanks a lot.

Well, what do you say?

You know, when you walk around with a long

look on your face, it goes to your feet.

When your dogs start

barking you'll feel bad all over.

Hey, will you keep still?

You know, every time I've looked

around in the last couple of weeks ..

I find you moping in the corner.

It's got to stop.

Oh, let up will you Drew...

No, I won't let up.

And another thing. I'm not going

to ask you any questions ..

...because it's none of my business.

If you want to tell me, okay.

If you don't, it's still okay.

But baby, when you got a headache don't

go around giving it to the rest of the world.

Drew, that's not fair! -Yes

it is. And another thing.

You and I are going to take the day off

tomorrow and go out and have some fun.

You sharpen yourself up a little,

and we'll live.

Besides, you been looking

like a wreck lately.

Well I like that!

But cute.

Feel better?

Yeah, I guess so.

Leave it to old man Baxter!

Gee!

You're terrific.

I know it.

Hey. Am I good to women?

Oh, that was fun ..

Hey, that's a pretty cute

hat you've got there.

You go and blow seven-fifty

on it just for me?

How did you know it

cost seven-fifty?

It looks like it.

Hey, you had a bee on you.

Well thanks.

Sally, you know that's the first

time I've really seen you ..

...look happy in weeks.

Well, I am happy.

You can "forget" here.

Right now, I'm thinking about all

the nice things ..

...that ever happened to me.

For instance?

Oh...

When I was seven, and my dad

took me to the circus.

Go on. I'm listening.

In high school,

for the spring play.

When the curtain came down

and everybody applauded.

I played Elisabeth.

Elisabeth. Elisabeth who?

Queen Elisabeth.

Queen of England.

You mean you played the old dame

that chopped off all the heads.

She had to be stern.

Ha! ... Sally you're a

remarkable woman.

Naturally, you were big

stuff after that?

Well, pretty soon after

that I left school.

I had to go to work.

To help out at home.

I was awfully proud when

I got my first pay-check.

Yuh...

What happened nice

after that?

Nothing much after that.

Nothing until today.

Today?

Today's one of the nicest

days in my life.

Me too.

Were you ever stuck on anyone?
