Not Wanted Page #5

Oooh.

What will it be like?

Having a baby.

Joan.

I don't know what I'm

going to do about the baby.

I know what you mean.

You see.

I know I'm going to love him.

But I keep thinking about

somebody else owning him.

Me too.

Oh Sally.

I'm awfully scared.

I don't know what's going

happen to me.

I feel safe here.

Maybe I could stay and help out.

See, I don't have any folks.

Only an aunt.

She'd never understand what's

happened to me.

She's the kind that thinks you

ought to be married to have children.

And you know something?

So do I.

I always pictured it that way.

Somehow it didn't work out.

You can certainly get a

rotten deal. Can't you?

Joan.

Don't honey.

Don't ..

I knew a good guy once.

He was too good for me.

Which one's Irene's baby?

You got me. They all look alike.

They do, don't they.

Uhuh.

But it's a girl.

And her mother was so sure she

was going to have a boy.

Because she's short-winded.

Hmm.

Did Irene have a bad time?

Pretty bad, but she sure

feels happy now.

Because that's what she

wanted all the time: a girl.

[off] Well, you can send Sally down.

[off] Alright.

[off] We're already for her

in the theatre.

Our young lady.

All yours.

Five minutes.

Hello, little fellah.

Are you glad to see me today?

You know.

You look like me, don't you?

I hope you don't mind.

What are we going to do?

Tell me. You're a smart little fellah.

What do you think?

You see.

They tell me.

They have to decide whether you

you and I stick together.

Or whether we both go our own ways.

Tell me.

Couldn't we try it?

You and I in a cold-water flat.

With no-one to take care of

you while I'm at work.

Couldnt you take care of yourself?

Sure you could.

Wash your own diapers... feed yourself.

Fix your own bunk.

What's the matter?

It'll be alright.

What's there to be sad about?

If I do give him up, Mrs. Stone?

Can you tell me a little about

the people who'll get him?

Only what I told you before, dear.

They will be people of your own

race, and your own religion.

They will be a couple who

will give him love and affection.

A good education, and security.

They'll be a husband and wife.

Who have wanted a child

very badly, dear.

And haven't been able

to have one of their own.

I understand.

What would you do if you were me?

Oh, I don't know my dear.

That's a decision nobody

can make for you.

I've been thinking and thinking.

All the arguments on one side,

and all the arguments on the other.

I only want to do what's

right for him.

What can I give him?

Love? And love?

And that's about all.

No money. No future. Nothing!

Would you rather wait a little

and decide later, dear?

No.

It wouldn't be fair to him.

I'll sign now.

You'll sign?

Yes.

I don't want him to grow

up without a father.

I don't want him to look

at me and despise me.

He must never hear the word

they call children like that.

I'll sign now.

Sign here please.

I want to thank you Mrs. Stone for everything

you've done for me and the baby.

It's all a part of our job, Sally.

What will you do now, dear?

What are your plans?

I don't know. Get a job I guess.

Will you go home?

No. I've done enough to them already.

Maybe someday, when

I can make it up to them.

Hello, Sally.

Mrs. Stone.

I've got to see Mrs. Stone.

What's wrong?

Mrs. Stone isn't here.

Mrs. Stone isn't here.

Sally.

What?

I got to speak to someone.

I got to speak to someone.

I've changed my mind.

I've got to have him back.

I've got to. I should never

have let him go.

Go on.

Day after day, I see them.

They're all around me.

The family is there.

And they're all happy.

And children.

I must treat them when I go

to work in the morning.

And when I come home at night.

A child and ..

...I think of mine.

And I want to scream.

Because I'm sick inside.

Sick, because I want him so.

I've got to have him back.

I've got to have him back!

Sally.... Sally!

Shhhh.

There, there baby. Shhh.

Sally....... Sally.

I have a letter here. I

want to read it to you.

It's from the people who

adopted your baby.

I can't read everything

that's in it.

The name they call him now,

and things like that.

But I want to read part

of the letter to you.

Listen.

"I wish you could have been with us..."

"last Sunday when the baby was baptized."

"The minister said he had never seen

a more healthy baby..."

"or a more cheerful one."

"The little thing almost

seemed to understand..."

"that he was ensuring himself

a future place in heaven."

"And that it was a very

intelligent thing on his part..."

"to have reserved it

so far in advance."

"He's just as much our child as if

he were our own flesh and blood."

"And we couldn't love him

more if he were."

"God has truly answered

our prayers."

Can you see now, that

you've done the right thing.

Sally.

I feel for you. I understand

your unhappiness.

This letter should be

of comfort to you.

You've made two other

people very happy.

Sally.

You're young.

Your whole life is before you.

You'll marry, have a husband.

Other children of your own.

Long distance?

I want to place a

person-to-person call.

Drew Baxter. B-A-X-T-E-R.

Sally Kelton.

Okay. The Assistant D.A.

wants to see you.

I don't know what you done,

kid, but plead guilty.

They'll go easier on you.

So, I presume we all understand

the facts of this case?

And a most unusual situation it is.

Have you anything further

to say, Miss Kelton?

Nothing.

Except I didn't mean

to kidnap him.

I just wanted to hold

him for a while.

I thought he looked like mine.

As an Assistant District

Attorney, I have ..

...no authority to recommend

any course of action.

However, there was a story in the

paper about your arrest last night.

That's how I happen to get a call this

morning from a Mrs. Elisabeth Stone.

Mrs. Banning knows about this.

I must say that.

What she told me

gave me an idea.

You see, there is a law.

That no-one may be tried twice

for the same wrong.

I think it's a good law.

In a way, you've been tried

once Miss Kelton.

And you sentenced yourself.

To... a bitter memory ..

...that only time may erase.

In view of these things, I'm going

to leave it up to the child's mother.

You Mrs. Banning.

To make the decision.

You may drop the charges

Mrs. Banning, or not.

As you will.

I think I understand.

It's just the same with my husband.

I'd like to drop the charges.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Sally!

Sally! Wait a minute!

Sally!

Sally! No!

Let me go! Let me go!

Let me go!

Let me go!

Sally!

Sally!

Sally!

Sally!

Sally!

Sally!

Wait!
