The Awful Truth Page #8

Give it to me.

That`s right, put it where we can find it.

-Here, you can`t do that.

-What?

-Shut that thing off.

-What?

It`s against the law.

Besides, you`ll wake everyone up.

What?

He says we`ll wake up....

Why don`t you help me?

-lt`s beautiful up here, don`t you think so?

-Sure, it`s swell.

If it wasn`t for you, l`d have missed all this.

That`s right.

I suppose by the time I get to town...

it will hardly be worthwhile going to bed.

You mind if I use your car to go home?

No, I don`t mind,

only I think it`s awfully silly.

Patsy will be disappointed.

Well, thanks. I`ll go home.

It`s all right with me.

My goodness, I just thought....

Yes, you just thought

that if l`d stay up there...

you`d show me exactly how innocent

a night in the country can be, didn`t you?

Are you still harping

on that same old string?

It doesn`t matter to me

whether you go or stay.

I was just trying

to make it easier for you, that`s all.

Did you have to throw that gadget away?

You want me to go back and look for it?

What else can happen to us?

A lot.

-What`s that?

-Two motorcycles.

-Anybody riding them?

-There are two men.

-Are they in uniform?

-Yes.

Fine.

-Turn down that radio.

-I can`t.

What do you mean you can`t?

You lost the control?

You can`t let it run that way!

-Let me take a look at it.

-Wait a minute, l`ll get out of your way.

See what you can do.

-Help me to sort the wiring.

-Let`s take a look at it.

Don`t!

It`s always good.

Do you know you can get a ticket for that?

-ls this your car?

-Nope!

-Whose car is it?

-l`ll give you one more guess.

So it`s yours. Where`s your ownership card?

-ln my bureau`s upper right-hand drawer.

-Are you sure this is your car?

Of course l`m sure!

If it`s your car, what`s the license number?

What is it?

I don`t know. They change it every year.

Don`t look now,

but what`s the number on your motorcycle?

-Have you folks been drinking?

-No, I haven`t, but....

-Let me see you walk this line.

-Come on.

Go on, honey, truck it!

-Now what have you done?

-The brakes are bad.

It`s a bad break for us, too.

Now we haven`t any transportation.

Could you two gentlemen take us

to my aunt`s cabin? It`s only 15 miles.

-That is, if you`ve nothing else to do.

-No, I don`t.

-Have you?

-Oh, no.

Oh, that`s fine.

Where will you sit?

I`ll have to figure that one out, I guess.

Come on, try it. It`s fun!

Now, listen, you two.

Don`t say a word to this guy.

Who are these people?

Why, that`s Mrs. Warriner

and that`s Mr. Warriner.

How do you do?

Hello.

I guess that settles it.

Will you get my car out in the morning?

In the meantime, think of something

you`d like for Christmas. Goodbye.

-I hope you have a nice trip back.

-Thank you.

Hi, Dad.

Hello, Dad.

Everything all right with you?

-Oh, l`m feeling fine.

-That`s good.

But I wasn`t expecting nobody tonight.

Isn`t Aunt Patsy here?

-Well, no.

-She isn`t here?

-But I thought for sure she was here.

-I didn`t.

Isn`t that funny?

Let me get you some coffee.

Oh, no, I don`t think so, Dad.

It might keep me awake.

I`m going right to bed. I`m awfully tired.

See? She`s all in.

-Oh, Dad, is this room in order?

-Yes.

That`s fine. Mr. Warriner will sleep in there.

Give him a couple of nice warm blankets.

He has a bad cold.

Is that right?

I`ve had a bad cold now

for some considerable time.

-That`s too bad.

-About three months.

How are you doing in there?

How are you doing in there?

I`m having a little wardrobe trouble.

You should see me.

I`m glad you told him I have a cold.

He fixed me up good.

My nightie is coming to me

through the courtesy of Aunt Patsy.

Go, get off!

Air-conditioned.

-What`s wrong with this?

-I don`t know.

The lock isn`t very practical, is it?

No, it`s not so very practical....

I guess it will serve its purpose.

Well, good night.

Good night.

I`m afraid we`re going to have trouble

with this.

I guess l`ll be all right.

-Good night.

-Good night.

Good night.

I told you we`d have trouble with this.

Yes.

In a half an hour,

we`ll no longer be Mr. and Mrs.

Funny, isn`t it?

Yes, it`s funny that everything

is the way it is, on account of how you feel.

I mean, if you didn`t feel how you do,

things wouldn`t be as they are, would they?

I mean, things could be the same

if things were different.

-But things are the way you made them.

-Oh, no.

Things are the way you think I made them.

I didn`t make them that way at all.

Things are just the same

as they always were...

only you`re the same as you were, too...

so I guess things

will never be the same again.

Good night.

-Got caught in the door.

-Good night.

Good night.

Why, you....

I was trying to stop it.

Well, there it goes again.

You`re all confused, aren`t you?

-Aren`t you?

-No.

You should be. You`re wrong

about things being different...

because they`re not the same.

Things are different,

except in a different way.

You`re still the same, only l`ve been a fool.

But l`m not now.

As long as l`m different, don`t you think...

maybe things could be the same again...

only a little different?

You mean that, Jerry?

Are you sure?

No more doubts? No more being....

-Except....

-Except what?

-There`s only one thing that bothers me.

-What?

This darn lock.

Is that all?

You think maybe if you....

Good night.
