Three-Cornered Moon Page #7

Is anything the

matter with Eddie?

No, just a stomachache.

Well, now, you see,

for a stomachache, you...

Now, Mrs. Rimplegar,

don`t worry,

because l`ll

prescribe for him.

Give me the pillow.

No, this one, this one.

You see,

the head should be

higher than the feet,

so that the blood

will run up, yeah.

No, or is it down?

I don`t like hysterical

women, Elizabeth.

I`m sorry.

(DOOR CLOSES)

Thanks.

I wish you could

come to the party.

Couldn`t you

look in afterwards?

No. They`ll be

waiting for me at home.

Too bad, you`d have

an awfully good time.

All right, driver.

(EDDlE SlGHS)

Hey, wait a minute,

wait a minute!

Bring me a glass

of water, will you?

Glass water?

Yeah.

Glass.

Yeah. Water. Water.

Glass of water.

Oh! Glass water! Yes, yes.

See? She`s learning.

Yeah. Yeah.

Feeling better, Eddie?

Haven`t felt so good

since I had the measles.

You`ve got to quit

working nights, darling.

Well, l`ll think about it.

No, no, no, You`ve got to.

Now, you don`t have to worry.

Ronald`s pay will

make up the difference.

Okay, sis.

What time is it?

Almost 9:
00.

Oh, I hope nothing`s

happened to him.

(DOOR CLOSlNG)

Maybe that`s...

Ronald!

Elizabeth!

Elizabeth!

Ronald!

Oh! Darling, we`ve been

so worried about you!

Flowers! Oh, darling!

KENNETH:
Did you get the job?

Did he get it, sis?

Did he get it?

Why, what took

you so long?

Yes, I think I got it.

I took a walk

down to the river.

You know that part

I couldn`t get to go right.

The introduction

to part four?

Well, it came to

me magnificently!

I had to sit down right there

and put it on paper.

I was so excited l

almost fell into the river.

That was after

the interview?

Oh. The interview!

I didn`t go.

I got as far as his

door and then I knew

it was impossible.

I couldn`t bear

the thought of an office.

You...

And you brought me flowers!

Yes.

You`ve failed me!

Elizabeth!

Flowers! Artists!

That`s it! Why, that`s it.

I`ve been wanting to

say that for a long time.

If a man`s an artist,

he`s holy!

Other men have to

work if they want to eat.

Other men have certain duties

to the people they love.

But an artist, no!

Oh, no!

An artist must be fed. Why?

Why, any more than

a lawyer or a doctor

or an lndian chief?

(JENNY SlNGlNG lN POLlSH)

George!

Beautiful George!

(ALARM RlNGlNG)

Hey! Elizabeth!

KENNETH:
Elizabeth,

ELlZABETH:
Sure,

l`m all dressed!

KENNETH:
Eddie,

7.:
00 newspaper!

EDDlE:
Okay!

Calling all Rimplegars!

Mother, 7.:

Bar examination!

NELLlE:
All right, Kenneth.

Calling all Rimplegars!

Douglas, 7.:

Douglas! 7.:

Wait for baby!

Calling all Rimplegars!

Don`t open it

till we get down!

Oh, just a minute, children.

Just a minute!

KENNETH:
Well, where is it?

EDDlE:
I don`t see it.

What time does it come?

It`s generally

in this mud puddle

under the hydrant.

Of course this is the day

it`d have to be late!

See if the Schultzes

have got their paper.

Oh, children, children!

Don`t run around

in the wet grass!

ELlZABETH:
Oh, here it comes!

Why didn`t you come earlier?

Right in my hands!

Here it is!

Here it is, children!

Children, it`s here!

It`s right in here.

ELlZABETH:
I don`t see it.

KENNETH:
It came through

the door. I saw it!

Here it is!

KENNETH:
Where?

I got it! I got it!

Here, that`s my paper!

Open it up,

for heaven`s sake!

There`s an index

on the back page.

Say, who took this

examination, anyway?

Here it is!

``1,031 Pass Bar Examination.

Page 19.``

19, 19, 19, 19...

Now, don`t get

excited, Kenneth.

You`ll be a judge

before you know it.

Here I don`t know

if l`ve passed yet,

and you have me a judge!

Oh, it`s enough to

drive a person crazy!

Page 19. No, this is 16...

Kenneth,

what a time to drop it!

Oh, butterfingers!

This is going to

add years to my life!

Look for the name Rimplegar.

Page 19. Here it is.

Here it is! Let`s see now.

Get out of my way!

Will you give me a

chance to look at it!

Let`s see, now.

Azevedo,

Brown, Frank, Farnum,

Levy, Levy, Levy, Levy...

When you get

out of the Levys,

give me a ring, will you?

Mason, Morrison,

Overton, Peters,

R, R, R, R... Rache,

Revier, Rosenheim,

Rosenheim, Rosenheim,

Rosenthal,

Rosenthal, Rosenthal...

Why, I must have

missed it. Let`s see.

Rache, Revier, Rosenheim,

Rosenheim, Rosenheim.

Didn`t you find it?

It`s not there.

Not even honorable mention?

Maybe you should have

gotten the Herald Tribune.

Maybe it`s in that.

Oh!

Never mind, honey.

You can take the

exam again in March.

If I had passed,

the firm was going to

raise me to $25 a week.

Oh, forget it!

I suppose if l`d studied more,

instead of chasing around

with that dumb cluck...

I`ll get you some coffee.

That`ll cheer you up.

If Ronald had

only gotten that job!

Eddie!

Kenneth Rimplegar.

Huh?

Is it in the paper?

Yeah, right there.

Kenneth Rimplegar.

Alan, for heaven`s sake,

don`t kid me! It wasn`t there.

All right, look for yourself.

You dumbbell!

You were looking in

the Manhattan section.

There you are in Brooklyn.

``Rimplegar, Kenneth.``

I passed! I passed!

Kenneth!

I`m so happy!

I passed! I passed! I passed!

I passed! I passed! I passed!

Wait a minute!

I got an idea!

I passed!

$25 a week!

Attorney Rimplegar!

Attorney Rimplegar!

Rimplegar for President!

Long live the President!

I passed!

(KENNETH EXCLAlMlNG)

Mother, I passed!

Oh, Kenneth,

you need a shave!

I passed!

Did you get

the Herald Tribune?

It was there

all the time, Mother!

I passed! I passed!

(EXCLAlMS) Where you going,

Jenny? For a touchdown?

Come on,

let`s have a drink.

Hooray! We celebrate!

Oh, isn`t that nice!

ALAN:
Get some glasses,

will you, Elizabeth?

Oh, sure.

How did you find out?

Did the judges telephone you?

It was in the Brooklyn

section, Mother.

Yes, well,

naturally it was in

the Brooklyn section.

How`s that?

Here.

Here we are, friends.

Am I going to get stewed!

Am I going to get stewed!

Just a very

little one for Eddie.

(EXCLAlMlNG) Gee, Ma!

Boy, I can`t get over it!

It certainly is great!

And the first

time I took it, too.

And both parts!

Well, we eat now!

Let`s drink first.

Sure. Come on,

come on. Here, Mom.

Now I can call you ``Judge``?

Call me anything you like,

Mrs. Rimplegar!

Here`s to the judge.

Here`s to him!

His Honor!

Hey, where`s Doug?

Ed! Ed, come on!

Let`s get Doug out of bed!

Now, now! Boys, boys!

KENNETH:
Can you

imagine that guy sleeping

on a day like that?

EDDlE:
He`s unconscious!

Tell Ronald to come

down to breakfast!

Oh, boys, tell Ronald...

Oh, dear, they shouldn`t

run around this way

before breakfast.

That`s right, Jenny.

Take those things

out on the line.

Why, Jenny,

where`d you find that?

Oh, dear,

the last time I wore that...

No, no, that was

the other time.

(SlNGlNG)

We passed the bar exam

Hi-ho, the derry-o

We passed the bar exam

(LAUGHlNG)

No! No! No!
