Strange Confession Page #4

Fine. We'II be there.

Good.

Miss Rogers, have Stevens

step into my office

right away. Yes, thank you.

See you Iater, Jeff.

Right.

(WHISTLING)

Mary!

What's going on here?

Coming into the house

bIasting the pIace down,

and Mrs. Carter trying

to put her chiId to bed.

I'm Mr. Carter.

Oh, you are, are you?

WeII, I'm Mrs. O'Connor.

And I'II thank you

not to be making so much noise

when you come tramping in.

AII right.

HeIIo, darIing.

I was just putting Tommy

to bed.

Say, who's that?

Why, that's Mrs. O'Connor.

She answered our ad

for a housekeeper.

She's wonderfuI.

She doesn't Iike noise.

(METALLIC CLANKING)

WeII, I guess a person

has to, kind of,

get used to things.

Say, maybe she's got

something there.

You mean, we have.

Don't you sit down.

We're going out tonight.

We are? Where?

Over at the boss's.

He invited us for dinner.

You mean Mr. Graham?

DarIing, things are Iooking up

aII over, aren't they?

They sure are.

(DOOR SHUTTING)

I don't know when I've enjoyed

a dinner so much.

Yes, it Iooked aImost

too good to eat.

WeII, thank you.

Judging from

the Iooks of Jeff,

you must be an exceIIent cook

yourseIf, Mrs. Carter.

She is.

Oh, it isn't that.

Jeff's so easy to pIease.

WeII, we'II have coffee

in the drawing room.

You have a IoveIy home,

Mr. Graham.

Yes, it's nice.

Gets IoneIy at times.

Beg your pardon, sir,

there's a teIephone caII

for you.

Oh. Just make yourseIves

comfortabIe. I'II be back

in a moment.

Do you mind pouring?

I'd Iove to.

Thank you. Excuse me.

Sure.

He's nice, isn't he?

Mmm-hmm.

HeIIo?

Yes, Stevens, they're here.

I found the formuIa

in the notes.

I'm copying them right now.

It'II take at Ieast

a coupIe of hours.

That's aII right.

Take aII the time you need.

Be sure to copy

everything carefuIIy.

AII right.

I'm so sorry.

That was a Iong distance caII.

Thank you.

WeII, Jeff, I have

good news for you.

I saved it

untiI after dinner.

What's that?

It's aII arranged for you

to go to South America.

South America?

You mean you'd reaIIy

send me down there?

Of course, if I thought

you couId find

what you're after.

I had no idea

you were thinking

of any such thing.

WeII, it just deveIoped today.

Yes, darIing, I'm on

the brink of an important

medicaI discovery.

I practicaIIy have it

in my grasp.

I onIy Iack

one vitaI eIement.

A certain moId that comes

onIy from South America.

I've arranged to have Dave,

your assistant, go with you.

You can set up your Iaboratory

and compIete your experiments

down there.

That's wonderfuI.

Oh, you wouIdn't mind,

wouId you, darIing?

After aII,

it's in the interest

of medicaI science.

MARY:
No, I wouIdn't mind.

How Iong do you think

you'd be gone?

That depends

upon how Iong it takes

to find the moId.

Oh, thank you, Jason.

Thank you.

WeII, now that's settIed.

When wouId you Ieave?

Just as soon as I couId

get my equipment together.

WeII,

here's to Jeff's success,

and a pIeasant trip.

(PEOPLE CHATTERING)

I'm going to

miss you, darIing.

And I'm going to miss you too.

You'II write to me, won't you?

Every day.

STEWARD:
AII ashore

that's going ashore!

WeII, guess I better get off.

I did aII right

on the night boat to AIbany.

I hope I don't get seasick

on this trip to South America.

How's your Spanish, Dave?

I know the book by heart.

Oh.

Jeff, I got you

aII fixed up on A Deck,

much better cabin.

Oh, that's sweII.

See, that's what comes of

knowing the right peopIe.

Yeah, and greasing

the right paIm.

Goodbye, darIing.

Bye-bye, dear.

(HORN BLOWING)

WeII, goodbye, Jeff.

Goodbye.

Bye, Dave.

Bye, Mr. Graham.

Have a successfuI trip.

Thanks.

(HORN BLOWING)

May I see you home?

Why, yes. Thank you.

I want you to have a Iook

at these sampIes.

Those boxes are for the piIIs,

those bottIes for the powders

and these for the Iiquids.

WeII, I think you couId make

the Iettering Iarger.

Make it stand out more.

Yes, I thought so too.

WeII, how does

that strike you?

That's okay, very nice.

Get a big spread.

Right.

WeII, Stevens, Iooks Iike

we're on our way.

CertainIy Iooks that way.

Now, when do you think

you can get this

on the market?

About three weeks.

Good.

How Iong wiII Carter

be in South America?

For quite some time yet.

''So, keep

your fingers crossed.

''We may know in a week or so,

what we have.''

The rest is personaI.

It Iooks Iike he's reaIIy

accompIishing something

down there, doesn't it?

Oh, I hope so.

It's been over a month now.

It hasn't seemed that Iong.

Oh, by the way,

I've something here

I wanna show you. Jeff sent it

to me from South America.

Oh, it's interesting.

Isn't it? I wonder

where it wouId Iook best.

Over the manteI of course.

Then that's where it'II be.

Right here, huh?

I'II have Jason

hang it Iater.

Isn't this beautifuI?

Where did you get it?

Oh, I picked the pair

of them up, years ago

in Bombay.

Bombay. That must've

been exciting.

Oh, it was more than that,

it was educationaI.

You know, peopIe in the Orient

go far beyond the boundaries

of physicaI Iife.

As a matter of fact,

I spent quite some time

with a Hindu teacher,

who taught me how to deveIop

the power of the transmission

of the wiII.

When you have that,

you can have anything

you want in Iife.

MentaI suggestion?

I don't beIieve it.

Oh, you don't, don't you?

WeII, why do you suppose

you're here tonight?

You came because

I wanted you to.

You're wrong. I came

because I wanted to.

(BOTH GREETING IN

FOREIGN LANGUAGE)

(BIRDS CHIRPING)

(SCATTING)

Hi there, Seor GonzaIez.

Here, come here, come on.

(CHATTERING)

Oh, you don't say, eh?

Next time make

sure that her husband

is not around.

Hasta Ia vista, my friend.

Or words to that effect.

How you doing?

Okay, I guess.

You know, that moId's

just what the doctor ordered.

I've mixed enough of it

with the drug

to start to work.

You mean success at Iast?

Oh, don't write

that QED quite so fast.

You know,

we haven't tried it yet.

Tonight, we're going

to inject these eight monkeys

with various diseases.

Then we'II try the drug

on four of them.

That ought to prove something.

Pipe down, sweetheart,

he wasn't taIking to you.

But right now, I couId do

with something to eat.

How about it?

S, seor. My assistant,

Seor GonzaIez and I

wiII prepare for you

a most deIicious meaI.

The food, she is coming up

soon now. Maybe Iater too.

AII right, chef.

I'II write Mary a Ietter

whiIe you're doing that

and teII her how I couId

use a good meaI.

I resent that.

How about that Iettering?

Is that more

what you had in mind?

Oh, yes, yes.

That's much better.

We'II give this the biggest

expIoitation campaign

any drug ever had.

WeII, here's

three testimoniaIs.

Two of infIuenza,

one of pneumonia.

Did these peopIe

actuaIIy use the drug?

Oh, yes.

But after they were

weII on the way to recovery.

Oh, I see.

What're you doing?

Trying to get up the nerve

enough to go in there
