One Sunday Afternoon Page #2

Goldstein's Drug Store?

Amy, he's terrible!

I heard that he smokes cigarettes!

That was a long time ago, of course.

Biff!

There they are now!

Wait! We ain't gonna be fools!

We're not going over there right away

or they'll think we're crazy about them.

We came to see them, didn't we?

Yeah, but we got to circle them first.

Anybody knows that.

Oh, alright.

There they are.

- Oh my heavens!

- What?

It's Biff Grimes!

- Virginia, I can't stay here!

- You can't run away now!

Come on, Biff. Come on!

- How will we do it?

- What do you mean?

Should we pretend that we just ran

into them

or act like we knew they were there.

They know we're going to meet them!

Who's going to say "hello" first,

you or me?

Guess maybe I better. I made the date.

Now listen, we won't say a word.

We'll just let them pass.

If they don't speak, we won't speak.

Just drop your eyes.

Drop my eyes?

That will show them we're good girls and

they can't trifle with us.

I know the one with the flowers in her

hat. I always wanted to meet her.

Here they come!

My Father which art in Heaven....

But I got her first!

Never mind who got her first,

she's duck soup for me!

Say something!

Give me time!

Hello!

Oh, hello!

Hello.

Nice day.

Yes.

Yes.

Say something familiar.

It might rain.

That's right.

That's right.

Paper didn't say so.

I looked in the paper this morning.

Paper said, "fair and warmer."

I didn't read the paper!

Neither did I.

You dropped something!

What?

You dropped something.

Even if the sun wasn't shining, it

would still be a nice day.

They don't care about the sky!

They want to meet me.

That's the way I always

start conversations.

This, uh

this is a friend of mine I brought along.

This is, uh, this is Biff Grimes.

Hi! Let me see, you name is Miss...

Virginia, ain't it?

How did you know my name is Virginia?

That's for me to know

and you to find out.

How about it, Hugo?

What, uh...

What's your friend's name?

This is Miss Lind. Amy, this is...

What did you say your name was?

Barnstead.

My name is Grimes. Biff Grimes.

How do you do?

Didn't I used to know you?

I was in school with you once.

I remember now. You were a funny-looking

little thing then.

Remember them red flannel drawers

you used to wear?

I'm sorry. I didn't mean nothing.

Guess we all looked funny when we were

younger.

I always liked you, Biff.

Amy!

I guess I shouldn't have said that.

You could have waited!

I'm sorry, Biff.

That's alright. I guess

all the girls were crazy about me then.

- How about taking a walk?

- Yeah!

You take the little one, Hugo.

- Have some gumdrops?

- No thank you. I don't care for them.

You're the first girl that ever turned

Biff Grimes down on gumdrops.

Come on!

That's a nice name, Virginia.

I'm glad you like it.

I bet you don;t know where they got

it from.

State of Virginia.

That's where Abraham Lincoln was born.

I guess you didn't know that!

Very few people do!

Wonderful!

Now remember,

start the pig on count 5.

Are you ready?

One!

Two!

Three!

Four!

Five!

Oh, please!

Get him!

The winner, Biff Grimes!

Biff, I knew you could do it!

I was easy, I...

Where did Virginia and Hugo go?

I don't know. what a beautiful

little pig!

Where did they go?

Who?

Virginia. Hugo and Virginia.

I don't know...they were here.

That's a dirty trick.

- Hi, Biff!

- Give me a package of Sen-Sen.

Where you going, Biff?

Well, I got to see a man...

You don't mean Mr. Virginia,

do you Biff?

Leave her name out to this.

You mean Virginia?

- Don't you say that name here!

- But Biff...

There's a lot of Virginias...

About to auction off those baskets.

I'd like to know who I'm going to

eat with.

Who's basket do you want to get?

Well...who's do you think?

Amy, you've seen Virginia's basket

haven't you? Can you tell me?

Do you see the...the big one over there?

The one with the purple ribbon?

We don't have purple ribbon at our house.

All we have is white ribbon.

Oh, now I went and told, didn't I?

The one with the big white ribbon on it?

Hi folks!

- Have you seen Biff Grimes?

- Not tonight I haven't.

Priscilla and I are going on the merry-

go-round. Want to come along?

Want to go?

I'd love to!

- Want to come along Amy?

- I think I'll stay here.

We'll be right back.

Goodbye, Amy. I'm going to catch a ring.

Come on, Priscilla.

Why Biff, I...

I didn't expect to see you!

You seen Virginia?

Yes. She and Hugo went

to the merry-go-round.

Biff, they'll be right back.

They will, huh?

Did you...

Did you bring anybody, Biff?

I was supposed to bring Virginia, but...

she came on ahead with Hugo.

I'd have waited if I was in her place.

How do you know which basket is which

when you bid on them?

You're not supposed to know.

I can tell you which one is mine if

you want me to.

Do you know which one is Virginia's?

Yes.

She told Hugo which one was hers.

It's the big one on the end with the

white ribbon on it.

She told Hugo?

You're not supposed to do that.

The name's on them, is that it?

The name's on a card pinned on.

But I tell you, mine had a

white ribbon on it!

Maybe they got mixed up.

Alright...I was fighting tonight.

I had good reason.

Biff Grimes ain't letting anybody pass

no remarks! - Well,

I don't like it!

I'm sorry, Virginia.

If you don't like it, I won't fight

anymore. I promise!

Virginia, won't you give me a chance?

Honest, I'm crazy about you.

Why don't you go with Amy Lind?

She likes you.

I don't care anything about her.

Virginia,

you're the one I really want.

And when I think about you going around

with anybody else...

Hugo Barnstead's not going

to cut me out!

You don't own me, Biff Grimes!

He better keep away from you!

I don't like him! He's a sneak!

Hugo Barnstead's not a sneak.

He's a perfect gentleman.

I'm studying to be a dentist, ain't I?

Dentist!

Yes, a dentist. Look - I'll show you.

Snappy did it for me. For when I

open my shop.

The "L" is for Lucius.

That's my real name.

- They just call me Biff.

- If you don't mind, I think I'll eat.

Biff sure knows how to pick them,

don't he?

Funny how a cute girl takes up

with rough company, ain't it?

Certainly is. She can't be any good if

she runs around with him!

No Biff, stop it!

- That last remark...

- What?

That last remark. I don't like it!

- What are you going to do about it?

- Stand up!

- You promised!

- Get up, understand? Get up!

Biff, he's got a knife!

Fighting again in my place...

Out with him!

Lay a hand on me and I'll drop you!

I'll get out by myself and I don't

need any help.

Let's go.

No. I never want to see you again,

Biff Grimes! You're a big bully!

I'll see you in Avery's Park.

Wednesday night at 8 o'clock.

All aboard!

Say Virginia, what about Biff Grimes?

I forgot. He wanted me to meet

him tonight in Avery's Park.

Biff Grimes is sitting in Avery's Park

waiting for the bride!

What do you say we go over and give him
