Together Again Page #2

and live your own?

If I know Jonathan,

he is as irritated with you as I am.

I`ll bet he`s bored to death

with the hero-worshipping show

he has to put up with.

When you hear from him to that effect,

you`ll let me know, won`t you?

-Well...

-And until then, you just shut up.

See?

-Good morning, Lillian.

-Good morning, Your Honor.

I`m terribly sorry

about what happened last night.

Did you see the paper?

Mort really had a field day for himself.

Yes, I can believe that.

He claims it was a special act of providence

to end the Crandall dynasty.

Mr. Buchanan has quite an imagination.

I`m marrying somebody this morning,

am I not?

Yes, Your Honor, the Potter kid and his girl.

-Did Diana take it awfully hard?

-Yes, she did.

-What a question.

-ls there anything else?

Mr. Witherspoon is waiting inside.

He has some sanitation problems.

I`ll sanitation problem him.

I`ve had 18 complaints

from the Southside in the past week.

Just because...

Just because people are poor,

Mr. Witherspoon,

they don`t want to live

with a lot of old potato peelings.

-lt`s the manpower, Your Honor.

-Manpower, my eye. Use womanpower, then.

Women? To collect garbage?

Why not? Women see more garbage

in their lives than men do, don`t they?

They might as well get paid for it.

Extra! Extra! Jonathan Crandall got

his block knocked off. Read all about it.

Extra! Extra! Jonathan Crandall got

his block knocked off. Read all about it.

That certainly was a tragedy

what happened to Jonathan, Your Honor.

Nonsense. What`s tragic about it?

It can easily be repaired.

All right. You told me to shut up

unless I heard from him.

-All right, l`ve heard from him.

-Father, what on Earth...

Jonathan. You don`t think

that was an accident, do you?

Look at that.

Does that look like an accident?

Father...

If that isn`t your answer, I never saw one.

Jonathan pitched that lightning bolt himself.

He had the greatest right I ever saw, anyway.

You asked for a sign,

all right, you`ve got one.

Now will you quit lying to yourself

and burst those chains

and start having some fun for yourself?

-Father! Mr. Witherspoon is here.

-Why?

-Hello, Witherspoon.

-Hi.

Mr. Witherspoon`s having problems

on the Southside.

But it`s nothing compared to your problem,

Mr. Crandall.

My trouble is just man shortage.

So is ours.

My father-in-law has

such a delightful sense of humor.

-Your Honor, the Potter kid and...

-Tell him to wait.

The mayor says that you`re going to

put Jonathan back together again.

We are not.

-Of course we are!

-We are not!

I waited five years for an excuse

to get rid of that bronze monstrosity.

-Your Honor, Mr. Buchanan is here.

-I can`t see him just now. Explain to him...

That the garbage collector is here.

That`s perfect. I want to see him, too.

I thought

your business was collecting trash,

instead of leaving it around

to be an eyesore.

-Why, it is.

-Why don`t you collect it, then?

Look here, Mr. Buchanan...

There is a pile of trash

over in the town square

that`s the worst eyesore I ever saw.

It`s always been an eyesore,

but now that it`s got no head...

Do you want me to haul it away?

Over my dead body you`ll haul

that statue away. That statue stays.

Even without a head, my son`s a better man

than you are, Mort Buchanan.

-But you just said, Mr. Crandall...

-I don`t care what I said.

If Mort Buchanan wants it hauled away,

it stays.

If you gentlemen have finished,

l`ll tell you what`s going to be done.

The statue is going to be repaired.

Mother, Mother, l`ve just heard the most

awful thing l`ve ever heard in my life.

Diana, dear, what is it?

I heard you were going to put

my father`s head back on again.

Well, yes, dear, I thought...

Mother, I didn`t believe it when they told me.

I couldn`t believe it.

It`s the most gruesome thing

l`ve ever heard of.

My father`s head stitched back on his...

Mother, l`d feel every stitch personally.

-Your Honor, the Potter kid says...

-Ask him to wait.

Diana, dear, what is it that you want?

-Why, a new statue, naturally.

-What?

Why not? A bigger one.

-On a horse, I want it.

-Wait till all that turns its back on you.

I have no business going to New York

to interview a sculptor. I have no time.

Nonsense. You`ve got at least 30 years more.

It`s time you started using it.

Father, really. That`s beginning

to be a little boring, if you don`t mind.

You won`t forget to

look at a new x-ray machine

for the hospital, will you, Your Honor?

Of course I won`t. Why should I forget it?

And buy a new hat.

A new hat?

What`s the matter with the one I have on?

It looks like a hat,

that`s what`s the matter with it.

When women start wearing hats

that look like hats, they`re on the way out.

-At your age you ought to be on the way in.

-ln what?

Buy a new hat and find out.

Father!

-Here you are, George.

-Yes, sir.

-Goodbye, Father.

-Goodbye.

You are sure you can handle the people?

For goodness sakes,

Your Honor, you`ll be back tomorrow.

-All aboard!

-Bye.

-All aboard!

-Bye.

-I can only hope.

-Hope for what, Mr. Crandall?

I don`t think you`d remember, Lillian.

Fifteen, please.

New hat?

-Yes. Practically.

-Cute as heck. It does things for you.

Makes a guy want to do things for you, too.

Well!

Don`t get sore. Women are just like actors.

Actors beef because people bother them

for their autographs,

but it`s a sad day when nobody asks

them anymore. See?

You`re quite a philosopher, aren`t you?

You work in an artists` building

and you get to know dames.

Hey, lady!

Your stocking`s crooked.

You got to relieve the monotony

of this job some way.

I beg your pardon.

It`s quite all right. I...

I was just...

I`ve never seen you before, have l?

-Why, no, l`m...

-Sometimes l`m not sure.

Clothes make such a difference.

I have been working straight through

all night and all day,

so I won`t want to work now.

-No, I didn`t expect you...

-But I did have to find out if you do.

Here she is.

All she needs is a certain line here.

-I hope you`ve got it.

-Mr. Corday...

You`ll find the dressing room through there.

-You won`t have to undress completely.

-Mr. Corday...

-Now look, this is simply an interview.

-Yes, but l...

If you have the curve l`m looking for, fine.

If you haven`t got it, then l`ll just have to

look until I find it, that`s all.

-But you don`t understand.

-Now, if you don`t mind.

I have an appointment here

with a small-town mayor at 6:.00

and, you know, small-town mayors

might not understand

beautiful models running around.

Really? And why not?

Have you ever met a small-town mayor?

Yes, I have.

And I don`t like your tone, Mr. Corday.

What`s the matter with small-town mayors?

Well, they`re on the narrow-minded side,

let us say.

I have never met one with a sense of humor.

And they are always all out of shape.

You don`t say.

I hope you have an exquisite

sense of humor, Mr. Corday,

because in about two seconds
