Pillow Talk Page #4

Yes? - I couldn't help overhearing

part of your conversation.

I'm sure you couldn't.

- I feel responsible for you.

Oon't go out with that man.

He's a phoney.

Of course, it's not my business.

- Right, it's not your business.

Oon't let that yokel act fool you.

This ranch-hand Romeo is trying

to lure you into the next barn.

Oon't judge other people by yourself.

If you don't want to listen. But l

know exactly what he'll do tomorrow.

You'll go to dinner, then dancing.

Then he'll find an excuse

to stop off at his hotel.

That is where the payoff comes.

- Goodnight, Mr. Allen.

This is it.

What?

- My hotel.

You don't mind if we stop

for a minute to get my coat?

It's a bit chilly out.

The payoff.

One thing about New York.

Nice, big hotel rooms.

And ...

mighty comfortable beds.

Come on over here.

Ain't that a pretty view

of Central Park?

Mighty romantic, ain't it?

Well, let's go.

You really came up for your coat?

- What did you think?

I thought ...

- Thought what, ma'am?

I thought

you brought me up here to ...

Ma'am!

- I'm sorry, Rex.

I should have known you're different.

But I had to make sure. Am I forgiven?

Of course.

I guess I can't blame you.

Living in bear country

makes you wonder about strange caves.

Now, let's got for that drive.

This way.

I thought we were going for a drive.

- We are.

Back-home style.

You know something?

Whenever I miss home,

the only thing that helps

is getting behind a horse.

There's something wholesome

about a man who loves animals.

I hope this stupid horse

knows where to go.

Hangs on to the reins

like a subway strap.

I don't know what he's planning,

but I'm glad she's not my daughter.

Here is the ranch house.

Right here is the corral,

that's where I keep my ponies.

And here

behind the ranch house is a mountain.

Not a huge mountain, but it's ours.

Texas must be pretty.

Yes, it is. lt is.

I'm eating alone today.

I'll be right back.

I seem to be out of cigarettes.

Would you excuse me?

- Bye. - Bye.

Fred,

you've got to come and help me out.

I'll make you a deal. If you come

and take her off my hands, I'll ...

Fred?

Hey, Brad. Fred who?

Jonathon old pal.

Good to see you.

Your check, sir.

- Thanks, Cathy.

Come on. I want to introduce

you to someone. - Who?

Friend of the family. Visiting here.

Wonderful girl.

But I wanted to work

on those songs of yours ...

Why don't you take her over for me?

- Me? - Yeah.

Go dancing. She's dying to learn

how to dance. - Wait.

She can't dance?

- She doesn't get out much.

What do you mean much?

- Believe me, you and Moose,

I mean Miss Tagget ...

- Moose?

So a girl picks up a nickname.

Kids can be cruel.

Especially if someone is different.

- Now just a minute. How different?

Well, just different.

You know.

- Wait.

Is that the one there?

How can you tell?

See how nice and friendly she is?

Jonathon! - Are you kidding?

- You've got to help me out.

Sorry, pal. It's your moose.

Happy hunting.

Yes indeedy.

Beatnik!

Hello?

- Morning, Miss Morrow. This is Rex.

Good morning, Rex.

- You done did a terrible thing to me.

You made me glad I ain't in Texas.

Have l?

Every time I look at you, I say:

we got all kinds of natural resources

back home, we ain't got that.

Oh Rex.

- Tell you something else, too.

I hated New York when I first came.

All those people

seemed so distant and all.

Oon't feel that way now.

- That's good.

lt sure turned out

to be a friendly town.

You'll find that most people

will try to meet you halfway.

If you let them.

- Will I see you tonight?

I'd love to, Rex,

but I already have a date tonight.

Who with? - A client.

You don't know him. Jonathon Forbes.

You ain't the kind of gal

who'd break a date.

No, I'm not.

And I ain't the kind of guy

that'd ask you to.

I know that. - I'll pick you up at 8.

- I'll be ready.

What a day.

Good morning, Alma.

Isn't it a beautiful day?

You can't go by me. Haven't seen it.

Okay, I'll take your word for it.

He must be pretty special

if you'd break a date for him.

He is.

What's he like?

He's six-foot-six,

handsome, intelligent,

owns a mountain.

- Oon't just stand there.

Get that robe off

and go get him. - What?

Six-foot-six-inches of opportunity

doesn't come every day.

Alma, I hardly know the man.

Takes only one sip of wine

to tell if it's a good bottle.

This one is good.

What are you waiting for? Orink up.

Jan, are you evading my question?

- Would you like these initialled?

Why did you break our date?

Had another date, huh?

You're going out with someone else?

Right?

- What a cruel thing to say.

Who is he? - Rex Stetson.

- Oo I know him? - No.

He's visiting from Texas.

- Texas!

Jan, how could you ever fall in love

with a tourist?

I don't know, I just did.

- You admit it. You love him.

I did, didn't l?

- I'll never understand women.

What a blow to my psyche.

Rejected for a cowboy.

- He's not a cowboy.

Alright, an oilman.

Jan, if you marry him,

you'll have to live out there.

Look at that.

New York!

People jostling, shoving, flailing

for their lives. You're part of it.

In Texas there's nothing

but a bunch of prairie dogs and stuff.

Even the air is nothing but air.

You can feel the air in New York.

It's got character.

Jan, you can't live in Texas.

We haven't even talked about marriage.

- But it's in your look.

I know well enough when a girl

is willing to talk about it.

Oo I look willing?

- You look disgusting.

I'm sorry. You know me.

I say a lot of things I don't mean.

I just want you to be happy.

If you want Rex Stetson,

I hope you get him.

Excuse me.

May I help you?

Yes.

I need an appointment.

For your wife?

- No, I'm not married.

For myself.

The doctor should examine you?

- I'm not feeling too well.

Maybe just an upset stomach,

but a guy can't be too careful.

I'll tell the doctor you're here.

There's no need to break in.

I let it go this long,

I can put it off another few days.

- He'll be very anxious to see you.

Tell her I'm feeling much better.

It's probably just a false alarm.

Where is he?

- He must have just gone.

Excuse me.

A man said he was going to have

a baby and you let him go?

He was obviously a psychopath.

- And if he wasn't? - But Or. Maxwell.

Miss Resnick, medical science

still has many unknowns to explore.

You're the detective agency. I only

know his name and where he's from.

I want everything on him.

You helped me with 3 divorces.

Now how about a marriage. What?

If it saves time, I'll be right over.

Yes?

Mr. Allen is here.

- I can't see him. - Sure can.

I give you three solid-gold hits.

- Leave them on my desk.

Where are you going?

- Remember that girl Jan?

Who?

- Jan, with the party-line nut.

Oh yeah. What about her?

- She met a Texas cowboy

and fell for him. - How do you know?

- She told me. But I'll break it up.

You will? - Yeah. - How?

- He needs to get up early to best me.

Hello?

- Miss Morrow, Brad Allen.
