Pillow Talk Page #3

Everyone thinks the house is heaven.

- Oh, I'm so glad.

Good evening, Mother.

How's the party going? - Lovely.

This is my son Tony.

- Hello, Tony. - Hello.

Tony's graduating from Harvard.

He's Phi Beta Kappa, you know.

It's not a big deal.

- He's just too modest.

You needn't wait for a cab, Jan.

Tony can take you back.

I wouldn't want to impose.

- I'd be delighted to.

Thank you.

I do hope Mr. P. will feel better

in the morning. - I'm sure he will.

lt was marvellous.

- Thank you. - I'll talk to you soon.

Goodnight.

- I won't be long, Mother.

Tony, don't drive too fast.

I won't, Mother.

When do you have to be

at the Copa for the next show?

Oon't worry, darling.

We've got oodles of time.

Oh! Tony, please!

Jan, you're so primitive.

Tony, control yourself.

Remember,

you're a Harvard man.

Not tonight, baby.

I'm on vacation.

Stop it.

You're only 21.

- I dig older women.

Unbelievable how many arms you have!

Tony, I'll tell your mother!

It's your word against mine.

Look, I've never belted

a Phi Beta Kappa ... - Okay.

I'll take you home.

But first we stop for a drink.

No.

Fine.

I'm in no condition for this.

Would you please start this car?

Orink up.

You're still on your first one.

Your mother will be

terribly worried about you.

I'll pour you into a cab, okay?

You know something?

You're very uncooperative.

Just finish your drink, Jan.

It's nourishing.

- Stop trying to get me drunk.

Orunk?

I'll have you know

a Harvard man never resorts to that.

Only in emergencies.

And you, Miss Morrow,

are an emergency.

Tony, get the check

and let's get going finally.

No. I categorically refuse.

You can stay till AA comes for you.

I'm leaving.

- No, wait.

Just one dance, I promise.

- I don't believe you.

Scout's honor.

So that's the other end

of your party line.

How do we get on friendly terms?

- Anything wrong, darling?

No.

No.

Shouldn't you be getting changed?

There's not much to change into.

- I know.

But

I want you to look

especially nice tonight.

I want to, too.

Brad, my boy,

you haven't got a chance.

The minute you say who you are,

you are buck-dead.

But maybe

you don't have to tell her.

Are you all right?

- I don't feel so good.

Can we sit this one out?

- Of course. - Thank you.

I should be getting home.

Tony.

Get up. Tony.

Excuse me, ma'am.

I reckon it got

a might too close for your partner.

Oh, yes.

Could you ask a few waiters to help

get him outside? - Why shucks.

No need to call anybody else.

Why, boy, up-si-daisies.

I can't tell you how embarrassing

this is, Mr. ... - Stetson.

Rex Stetson.

No call to be embarrassed.

I'm afraid he's had too much to drink.

- We have a saying in Texas, ma'am:

never drink anything

stronger than you are. Or older.

Your coat, ma'am.

Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you very much.

I reckon we bring your boyfriend home.

- He's not my boyfriend.

His mother is a client of mine.

- A client? You a lawyer?

No, I'm an interior decorator.

He was taking me home

and insisted on a drink.

He wasn't trying to force

his attentions upon you?

Well ... - I can't stand a man

who tries to take advantage of women.

We make short work

of his kind back in Texas.

2268 Gardner Orive, Scarsdale, please.

Orive him slow

and set him down real easy, partner.

How are you getting home, ma'am?

I'll take his car

and he could pick it up tomorrow.

It's mighty late for a lady to be

out alone. - It's not far.

I'd feel better

if you'd let me see you home.

That's very nice of you.

Thank you.

Oh, that's it.

- This bitty thing?

Back home we got jackrabbits

bigger than this.

How do you get in?

- Try putting your right leg in first.

Now sit down.

Where?

- On the seat. - Yeah.

Can't you get the other leg in?

- I hope so.

I'd hate to leave without it.

Can you drive?

- I think I can steer,

but someone'll have to do the pedals.

We should call a cab.

- I think so, too. - Alright.

Ma'am ...

You might have to call the automobile

club to help me out of this.

You looked so funny.

- I couldn't do a thing.

What a marvellous-looking man.

I wonder if he's single.

No idea how long I can get away

with this act, but she's worth it.

Oon't just sit there.

Make some casual conversation.

A lovely evening, isn't it?

- Yes. - Are you married?

You kid. What are you doing?

Trying to scare him away?

No, ma'am, I'm not.

This may take

some fancy-looking field running.

All those buildings full of people.

Kind of scares

a country boy like me, you know it?

Isn't that sweet?

So unpretentious and honest.

What a relief after a few monsters,

like Tony Walters and that ...

Brad Allen.

They all had a large family but me.

I'm the only child.

Really? There were 6 of us.

4 brothers and 2 sisters.

That's what I call a nice size.

You don't see much of that anymore.

I believe in large familes. Oon't you?

Yes indeedy. Seems like folks now

have just stopped having kids.

May l, ma'am?

- Thank you.

lt must be the high cost of living.

- Or television.

Between the late-show at night

and Oave Garroway in the morning,

it seems like there ain't much time.

How about a coffee?

No, ma'am.

I ain't used to these hours.

Back home we'd be just getting up now.

Well,

it's been a real pleasure, ma'am.

Goodnight.

- Goodnight.

Oon't let him go without your number.

You may never see him again.

Mr. Stetson!

Ma'am?

- Since you're all alone in New York,

if there's anything you need

and I can help, my number is Plaza 2

2-7-4-8.

- 2-2-7

4-8.

I'll remember that. Bye.

- Bye.

I'd say 5 or 6 days ought to do it.

It's so nice to meet a man

you feel you can trust.

He respected you.

He didn't even try to kiss you.

Maybe you just don't appeal to him.

He didn't write your number down.

Why didn't you think to ask

where he was staying?

Hello?

- Ma'am, this is Rex Stetson.

Hello. - I hope

I didn't wake you up.

Not at all. - I just had to think

about your generous offer and all,

to call you

in case I needed something.

I need to go out for dinner tomorrow

and I would enjoy seeing

a friendly face across the table.

But if you're busy tomorrow ...

No, I always keep tomorrow open.

I mean, I hadn't planned a thing.

I'd love to have dinner with you.

Hello, is anybody on this line?

- Yes, I am. Would you get off it?

Alright, but it's my half-hour.

Rex, are you there?

- Yes, ma'am. Who was that?

A horrible man on my line.

- He isn't very well-mannered.

Mannered?

He isn't even worth talking about.

Now ...

What were you saying?

I'll stop by about 7:30.

- Alright. That'll be fine.

Miss Morrow?

I never could make

fancy speeches, but ...

I get a nice, warm feeling

when I'm near you.

It's like being by a pot-bellied stove

on a frosty morning.

Oh Rex, what a lovely thing to say.

Goodnight, ma'am.

Goodnight.

Like a pot-bellied stove

on a frosty morning.

He does like you.

Hello?

- Miss Morrow, Brad Allen.

Hello? Hello?
