Strangers May Kiss Page #7

I've always wanted

To marry you.

In spite of the shadows...

Dancing on the wall?

Shadows?

On what wall?

He said that.

Alan.

Rats.

Man's got

A lot of nerve.

Where do we get off,

Any of us?

You and I will get

Married and forget it.

Thanks.

Nice, steve.

You think I'm bruised

And bleeding.

Nothing of the kind. I'm

Thinking only of myself.

I've done almost

Everything

I've ever wanted

To do.

I'm no bargain, but if you'll marry me,

I'll try and make myself

Good enough for you.

Honest, I will.

Steve, dear,

Don't ever talk

Like that again.

You're all wrong.

These high and mighty

Demands men make,

No shadows...

It's grand.

I knew it

Two years ago,

But I forgot it.

It gives marriage

Something great

That isn't

In the copybooks.

You know, it's

A lot of hooey.

Oh, no, it isn't.

And I don't really feel

Badly about not accepting you

Because you're not really

In love with me.

Hey...

No. If you were,

You couldn't forgive me...

Anything.

That's love.

And I'm going

Back home,

Going to work.

And I feel fine.

What a girl.

Kicked

By two jackasses,

And not a whimper.

Ha ha ha!

Here's to you.

Dance?

My prince.

Good. I was only

A duke last time.

Oh, it's nice enough.

I'm getting fed up

On musical shows.

Oh, they're great for

Us tired businesswomen.

Don't believe him.

If legs

Were mathematics,

He'd be

A second einstein.

Do they have

Theaters in toledo?

Listen, they

Think I'm a show in toledo.

That's right.

They do.

Hey!

Ha ha ha!

Hello, steve.

I saw you in the window. How are you?

Hello, geneva.

Hello, harry.

Hello. How are you?

Meet the wife.

No!

What's this "no" stuff?

I'm a determined woman.

Well,

Congratulations.

Says he,

Lying like a gentleman.

Uh, meet the wife.

Say, when did

You two get married?

They're

Not married.

It's a joke.

Oh, geneva, how could you

Marry anything like that?

Why, for one wonderful moment,

I was the head man.

How do you do?

How long you

In town for, alan?

Quite a while,

This time.

I'm a businessman.

Oh, really?

Yes.

Quite by accident.

Ran across something

In arabia.

Put over a deal

For a new york crowd.

Have to settle down now

And manage it.

Want to do that?

Oh, yes, it's great.

Big break.

Lot

Of money?

Curtain

Going up!

Ooh, good luck.

After 6 months in toledo,

I'm not going to miss a thing.

Come on,

Mama.

Uh, when did

You get in?

Oh, this afternoon,

Late.

I knew you were here.

Alan...

There's only one way

To say anything.

That's to say it.

I deserve it,

Whatever it is.

I don't want you sorry

For anything you said

In paris.

You were right.

I should have waited,

Even if you'd

Never come back.

I'm glad you expected

So much of me.

I don't know

What you want to do,

But there will never

Be anybody but you...

As long as I live.

Come on, steve.

Once

They go mad...

Hey, this is supposed

To be a funny show.

I'm all right.

Bet your life

You are.

You better beat it.

Oh!

Take him away.

I'm a happy boy.

I want to laugh.

Ha ha!

There will always be

A bottle of champagne

Burning in the window.
