Strangers May Kiss Page #4

I knew a girl who forgot

All of her best underclothes.

It practically

Ruined niagara falls.

Ha ha ha!

You know you're burning

All your bridges.

I know.

A romantic weekend

Is one thing,

But you're jumping

Right over the fence.

I know all about it.

You'll look back

On this minute

And want to kill me

Because I didn't tie you up.

Wait until steve gets

Back. Think it over again.

Oh, please, geneva,

It's so hard to decide.

Don't you see? I've-

I've gambled everything.

I may never see him again

If I don't. Never.

Well, let me

Stop you for now.

I may be wrong-

Dead wrong.

If I am, I'll help you pack

And put you on the boat.

What can this be

So early?

The rent and milk

Bill are paid.

Good morning.

Yuletide greetings

From boston's favorite son,

Who realizes that surprises are

Always best when you don't expect them.

Hi, buddy.

Why, steve.

Oh. Oh, yes. I brought my lawyer along

So if we come to any

Agreement, why, um...

Come in, uncle andrew.

Thanks.

How are you?

How do you do?

Welcome

To our city.

Don't get up until

They count 9 on you.

Why, I haven't seen you

For a long time.

No.

Didn't suppose you'd

Want to see me very much.

Oh... I guess

I've forgiven you.

That's right. After

All, we're all human,

No more, no less.

Your boat leaves

In 20 minutes, miss.

Uh... Yes. Take this trunk

And the suitcase in there.

Yes, miss.

Going

Places, buddy?

Yes. Going south.

Oh. Why didn't

You tell me?

Just decided.

Here, wait a minute.

I want to say something.

I didn't come

For nothing, lisbeth.

Steve tells me you've been very

Cool since your aunt celia...

Cool? Why,

I've always loved steve,

And I always will.

There you are.

Oh, yeah.

There you are.

I was afraid you were overdoing the

Hysteria that made celia do what she did.

Get the idea you'd

Never marry any of us.

You think it was

Hysteria, steve?

I'm not thinking of anything but you.

You should speak for yourself.

You do a lot better.

Now, my dear girl.

Steve is a good lad,

And you know,

After all, marriage

Still is the natural-

Oh, quit it,

Will you?!

You make me sick!

You think women should all

Be shoved into a coop like hens.

That is, good women-

The only important thing

You don't mention at all.

I:

- you can't tell me anything.

Women aren't

Human things to you.

They're either wives

Or sweethearts.

Get-get a house and some

Furniture and some rugs

And a wife.

Sorry, steve.

Well, that's

All right.

You're good.

Presto!

Darling. Darling, you're

Right, and I'm a fool.

I'm sorry, but you'll have to

Send your messages by wireless.

No time. Not

For sad farewells.

Forget about tomorrow

And yesterday and go to it.

My wild irish

Blessings attend you.

Hooray and 3 cheers!

Who is it-harlow?

la dum da de

Is she gonna

Marry him?

da dum dum

da da da da da dum

Da da da da da dum

da dee

Righto.

Say, what the

- come on. Come on.

Let's drink to the

Furniture and the rugs.

That's all

We've got left.

For tonight, we'll

Merry, merry be.

You fixed it.

Ahh. C'est la vie.

Or I should say

Que hermosa es la vida.

In other words, in case

You're interested,

Life is very beautiful,

And I'm very glad I came.

So am I.

You're a grand

Girl, lisbeth.

Thank you kindly,

Sir, she said.

You're not so bad

Yourself.

Do you know...

I've known you,

Man and boy,

For 3 months come next michaelmas day,

And I'm still kind of crazy about you.

If I send a kiss in your

General direction,

Could you provide

Terminal facilities for it?

Try and see.

Oh! My goodness.

We're observed.

Just as one woman

To another,

Don't mention what

You just saw.

I should hate to

Have it get around.

She looks like a gossip to me.

Go on! Go on, goat.

Go!

Happy?

Never happier.

Funny how all

The rest of my life

Seems to have been such a long time ago.

Ha ha!

Do you know that you

Have very nice eyebrows?

Why, of course I do.

Admiring crowds often

Follow me in the streets

Murmuring hoarsely,

"look at his eyebrows."

Ha ha ha!

You idiot.

Oh, I wish we never

Had to go away.

I wish we'd

Been born here.

If we had, I wonder

What would have happened.

Well, some saturday night,

I should probably have put on my

Best pair of velveteen panties,

Sneaked up under your window,

Sung a serenade,

And then said-

Or words

To that effect.

And I should probably have

Gone out on my veranda,

Taken a rose from my hair, kissed it,

Thrown it to you,

And said...

Exactly. Ha ha ha!

Sweetheart.

Mm-hmm. What?

There's something

I haven't told you.

Ooh. Something

Dark and terrible?

No.

I have a wife in paris.

Why didn't you

Tell me?

I didn't mean

To say that.

There was

No reason to.

Why tell me now?

Oh, I don't know,

Exactly.

At first, there wasn't any

Reason to talk about it.

It isn't very important.

We don't bother

About it very much.

Haven't for years.

It struck me just now that I was

Keeping a secret from a friend.

There's no reason that I

Should do that, is there?

I'm glad

I didn't know.

I've had such

A lovely time.

Well, anyhow, it's

Of no importance.

You see-

Shh.

Please.

Don't say

Anything more.

Not just now.

It's so peaceful...

And I have so many

Things to think about.

Yes, but, darling-

Shh.

I want one ticket for

New york city, u.s.a.

One car, motor,

For me.

Car. Motor. Quick!

Pronto!

Ahh.

I've had some

Very bad news.

Oh, yes. The telegram.

I have an hour to catch the

Air mail at calupa for panama.

Panama?

I get a boat there

For rio de janeiro.

I've got to scramble.

It's very important.

Then we'll have to

Hurry and pack, dear.

No. You've got

Some time yet.

Your train doesn't

Leave until 7:
00.

Aw.

T'ain't treating us

Right, is it?

Come along while I throw

Some things together? Hmm?

Will you?

Come along,

Will you, darling?

Rotten shame, this,

Isn't it?

You won't have to worry

About your trip north, dear.

Everything will be

Taken care of.

Just like that.

What do you mean,

Darling?

Sounds like

Finished business.

They're holding a man-o'- war at

Panama for me until I can get there.

I'm awfully sorry.

Oh, you have to go.

I know that.

Don't forget that it was you that

Said a girl could kiss and ride off.

Yes, but I'm not

So sure about it.

Oh, you know

How I feel.

You know what I'd say

If I had the time.

I'm afraid I do.

You'd say, "he travels

Farthest who travels alone."

Oh, now, lisbeth,

After all.

See here.

Have you got a girl

In south america?

Are you being

Quite fair?

Are you?

No.

Don't bother about

My trip up north.

I may stay here

For a while.

Good lord, honey,

What for?

Oh, I want to think.

You're going to live the same

As you always have, aren't you?

I don't know.

I've never been

In love before.

I've tried this

Freedom for two.

I may try it

For one.

Oh, now, lisbeth,

You're all wrong.

Wrong? What if I am?

Listen, in a month

From now-

Oh, please, don't.

We're not talking

Of the same things.
