Not Wanted Page #4

Once.

I was kind of soft on a girl, once.

What happened?

Oh, and the fireworks died down ..

...and I got back from overseas, I ..

...guess I just wasn't up

for a speed anymore.

You know, kind of slowed down a bit.

But I'm...

...I'm glad nothing happened.

Why?

Well...

So we could have today.

You and me.

Just like this.

I'm glad too.

Sally.

Yes, Drew?

Sally, I want to marry you.

Sally.

We can have lots of little gas stations.

A whole chain of them.

Maybe after that, a flock

of kids to make change.

Small change at first.

You could be superintendent of

the railroad and everything.

Oh.

Sally, I ..

I forgot to ask you.

Well, do you think you could ..

...learn to care for me?

I mean, the way I am and everything?

Would you mind it?

Drew, how can you even

ask such a thing?

Why, you're the nicest, sweetest

person in the world.

Well that's ..

That's wonderful, Sally.

Well... ?

Come on! What about it?

Gee Drew, could you just give

me a little more time?

Sure.

Sure, I could.

Oh Sally I'm ..

...I'm crazy about you.

What am I doing?

Sally.

Sally!

What's wrong?

Sally!

I wish he'd tell us what's

wrong with her.

Why don't you come back in the

parlor and have a cup of coffee with me?

It'll pick you up.

I couldn't. Not now.

Well, I always need a pickup

this time of the afternoon.

So if you don't mind,

I'll go on back.

But you stay right there now. I'll

be back in just a few minutes.

And don't you worry.

Well... my dear.

I've checked you thoroughly.

You know what the trouble

is don't you?

No.

I see.

Well.

You're going to have a baby.

What?

Well now child. There's

nothing to worry about.

Babies are born every eleven

seconds. Night and day.

You'll be fine.

Now, suppose I send your

husband up to see you?

I have no husband.

It's not ..

...not him.

I see.

You don't have to tell me

if you don't want to.

Oh, please doctor.

No-one must know about this.

You won't tell anyone

will you?

Please don't let

anyone know.

If that's the way you

want it.

Ah, don't worry.

We'll take care of you.

In the meantime, you must get

plenty or rest and proper food.

So you'll have a nice,

healthy baby.

Now, Mrs. Nigh knows my

phone number.

Don't hesitate to call.

Meantime, try and get some rest.

And remember ..

Take those tablets that

I've prescribed.

Is she alright, doc'?

May I go up and see her?

Well, I wouldn't suggest

that right now.

Why don't you wait until

she sends for you?

Well, what's wrong with her?

Well, she's in a highly nervous

condition and needs a lot of rest.

Goodbye, Mrs. Nigh.

If she needs anything, call me.

I'm sure shell be up tomorrow.

I'm sure she will doctor. Yes.

I guess he knows

what he's doing, but...

I'll be phoning to find

out how she is.

Oh, you'll be phoning

alright, if I know you.

She'll be alright, now

don't you worry.

Go on home and get some rest.

You're the one that looks sick.

Yes?

My name is Kelton.

Sally Kelton.

Oh yes. Mrs. Stone is expecting you.

Reverend Culbertson called.

Will you come with me?

That will be alright, there.

Mrs. Stone will be with

you in a moment.

Thank you.

You're Sally Kelton, aren't you?

Yes.

Sit down, dear.

Thank you.

How old are you, Sally?

Nineteen.

And where do you live?

Well, I've been living at a rooming

house, but I've checked out of there.

Have you any family?

Are your parents living?

Yes.

But I don't want them to

know about this.

Well let me ask you

something dear.

Don't you think perhaps

you should tell them?

If they knew about this,

they might want to help you.

Please, Mrs. Stone.

I couldn't bear it if they found out.

I couldn't expect them to understand.

Not this ..

Do you wish to tell me the name

of the father? And his whereabouts?

Perhaps we could

communicate with him?

I don't know where he is.

He went away. I haven't

heard from him since.

I see.

Well, tell me my dear.

Have you decided whether you want

to keep your baby after it's born?

I don't know.

Well, we'll discuss that question later.

You'll have every opportunity

to decide for yourself.

And in the meantime,

this will be your home.

For the time being, you'll be asked

to help with the duties around the home.

And you will be expected to abide with

the regulations of the institution.

Thank you Mrs. Stone.

And remember.

We're your friends, not your judges.

You won't let my family

know I'm here, will you?

No dear. If that is your wish.

Well! As I was saying ..

...well ..

...look at the doctoring

we get.

My mother said she never got as much

attention with any of her kids.

My mother says I'm going to have

a boy. Because I'm so "short-winded".

She hopes it's a boy. But I don't care

which I get.... if it's healthy.

What do you want?

Irene, I don't know.

What do you want?

I guess I just want the baby.

I don't care whether he's

a boy or a girl.

Oh well.

Hello. Craig's Gas-A-Teria.

Yeah, this is Drew Baxter.

Oh, hello Mrs. Nigh.

You what!

Yes, I heard from her today.

Just a second, I'll read the letter to you.

"Dear Mrs. Nigh, will you please give Dr.

Williams the enclosed five dollars I owe him."

"Also, could you forward the

dressing-gown I left behind."

"I think of you often, and how

kind you were to me."

"A merry Christmas. Sincerely, Sally Kelton."

Yeah, but does she say where she is?

500, Riley street,

Watertown.

Wait a minute, Mrs. Nigh.

500 ... Where? Riley Street?

Watertown.

Yup. Thanks a lot, Mrs. Nigh.

Would you go in there, please.

Thank you very much.

Sit down.

Thank you.

You were asking for someone?

Yes. I'm looking for Sally Kelton.

Is she here?

Is she sick?

What is your name?

Drew... Drew Baxter.

Are you related to this Miss Kelton?

Then she is here!

What's happened?

I didn't say Miss Kelton was here.

I merely asked you that

because you seemed so anxious.

And so troubled about

this Miss Kelton.

I'm sorry.

No. I'm not a relative.

You see we.... we worked

together in Capital City and ..

...I asked her to marry me.

Everything seemed fine

and, she took ill.

After that, she just disappeared.

The landlady gave me the address.

See, it's quite plain.

Yes, I see.

Mr. Baxter.

Perhaps you don't know.

But this is a home for

unwed mothers.

What?

I'm truly sorry I can't help you.

I wish I could.

Because......

Because of what, Mrs. Stone?

Because this young lady

you're looking for ..

...appears to have someone

who loves her very dearly.

And only a person who

has a great heartache ..

...a great problem ..

...would run from such a love.

I don't know you Drew.

But somehow I feel that eventually ..

...you will find what you're looking for.

Maybe somebody can use that.

Thanks a lot for being so

kind Mrs. Stone.

Thanks very much.

You're right, I did. I did find

what I was looking for.

Don't mention my name to her.

I wasn't here.

Joan!

Are you awake?

Yuh.

I was thinking.

So was I.

What were you thinking about?
