Small Town Girl Page #10

I can do for myself.

Oh, Bob,

Can't I?

Won't you let me?

Dr. Dakin speaking.

Oh, hello, Pris.

Oh, a sensational failure, my dear.

Yeah. I'm afraid I'm

definitely not cut out

To make medical history.

I guess it doesn't do

any good to talk about it.

What?

Tomorrow?

Uh...

well, uh...

Yeah. Yeah, all right.

I'll pick you up around 5:00, huh?

Good night.

Well, well, well.

This is a nice early morning surprise.

I wanted to talk to you, Dr. Dakin.

Let's sit down, my dear. Sit down.

Well, how are you?

You know, you were much

too popular last night.

We could only catch glimpses of you.

It was a nice party, wasn't it?

Very gay.

A little too much for

mother, I'm afraid.

She's still in bed.

Well, I don't want to disturb her.

I just wanted to tell you that...

I'm going back to carvel.

Well, have you and Bob discussed this?

No. He's still asleep.

He operated at the clinic last night

After the party

- Most of the night.

And why are you going

back to carvel, Kay?

Well, I don't think people

will think anything, and...

Bob seems more settled, and...

why, I'm sure he'll feel freer

And more comfortable without me around.

You think so, huh?

Why, has he been

inconsiderate or unkind?

Oh, no, no. He-

Well, he's been marvelous.

That's just the trouble.

Hmm.

You're sure there

isn't some other reason

Why you're going home, Kay?

Isn't there?

Hmm. I thought so.

Dear little Kay.

It's just being near

him all the time, and-

And knowing how he feels

about somebody else,

And he looks at her

The way you want him to look at you.

I know. I know.

Well...

I've had my cry,

And I swore I wouldn't,

But you can just tell Bob that,

Well, I-I went home to see my family.

You don't need to tell

him much of anything,

I guess.

I want to say this, Kay-

That since we first saw you,

Bob's mother and I had hoped

this would turn out differently.

Oh, you're sweet to say that.

But we can't untie the strings

From a man's heart, can we?

No.

I tried.

I must admit that.

But you will let us hear from you?

If there's anything you ever want,

Anything you need, just let us know,

And we'll do everything

we can to help you.

In the meantime, well,

You can be our daughter ex officio.

Why, I don't know what that means,

But if you said it,

I'm... sure it's... sweet.

Oh, now, now, now.

You don't want to go back home in tears.

Good-Bye.

Good-Bye, father Dakin.

Good-Bye, Kay.

Junie, eat some spinach for mother.

It makes babies grow.

I don't like spinach.

Now come on.

Junie, come on now. Mind your mother.

Here. Let me try.

You'll eat some for aunt Kay, won't you?

There's a good girl.

Ok. Sort of sloppy. Yeah.

You'll eat it. There.

I declare, every day, that child

Grows to look more and more like Emily.

I said, like Emily.

Go on. She's the image of George.

Sure. Kay knows what

she's talking about.

How's my little angel?

Well, did you see where Hartford

joined the international league?

Is that so? Yep.

Well, I'm finished.

Where's my paper, Kay?

Oh, I'll get it, pa.

Boy, my feet are tired.

Ooh!

Come, Junie.

Eat some spinach for mother. Makes-

I don't like spinach.

I said, I don't like spinach.

Tsk, tsk, tsk.

Getting more like you every day, ma.

Thank you, daughter.

Well, aren't you going

to have some pie, Kay?

I say, aren't you gonna have some-

No, mother.

Now, what could have made-

She's bound to feel

blue once in a while.

Sure.

I think she's been mighty brave

About the whole thing. Mm-Hmm.

Well, listen to this!

Hi, Kay.

I was just driving by-

Hello, Elmer.

Where you going?

Oh, just taking a walk.

Mind if I go along with?

Of course not.

I read about your husband

in tonight's paper, Kay.

Yes.

Ah, that's all right.

You can keep your chin up.

Thanks, Elmer.

Oh, listen. Guess what?

What?

I got a raise.

30 bucks per, and now they

made me a line foreman.

Oh, that's wonderful.

Oh, well, it's...

it's something.

Look, Kay...

I know it's sort of early to,

I mean, talk about it.

Of course, I know I couldn't

give you the sort of life

That you had in- I mean,

with him in Boston, but-

Oh, it isn't where you are, Elmer.

I found that out.

It's-It's who's around you

And what you do with what you've got,

What you're meant to have.

I'd do anything for you, Kay,

All my life.

I know that, Elmer,

And I'd like to keep the

thought of it very close,

All my life.

Couldn't I just sort of

stick around for a while, Kay?

I mean, anything you

want, anything at all,

I'll try.

Hello, goodness.

Hello.

Will you get in, goodness?

I've lost my way to Reno,

And I'll never want to find it again.

Good-Bye, Elmer.

So long, Kay.

Keep your chin up, huh?

Hear what he said?
