You Gotta Stay Happy Page #10

Well, I didn't exactly

buy it. I just invested

some money in it.

Enough to control it!

Well, I thought if I did that,

that we could buy

some new equipment

and all sorts of things,

and then Payne Air

would be a big airline,

and everybody'd

make a lot of money,

and then no one would

have to wait until 1954

to get married.

And who wants

to get married?

Well, I thought that we might,

after I got my annulment.

Oh, I see, just like that!

And as president of Payne Air,

you'd be able to afford

a wife, even me.

Well, I've got news for you.

I'm not president

of Payne Air.

And I'm resigning,

as of right now.

Now, don't be stubborn, Marv.

I'm not working

for any woman.

I love you.

Look, you can get...

You're the first one

I've ever loved.

You can get somebody else

to run your outfit for you.

And you love me,

even if you won't admit it.

Listen, there are all

sorts of old broken-down

pilots who would...

Who...

Oh, you are it.

You do love me,

don't you, Marv?

Now, wait a minute.

Why, I spin every time

I'm around you.

I get all fogged up

and I can't think straight.

Now, you get over here

and sit on that bed

and listen to me.

Yes, Marv.

Now, stay there.

Now, it isn't as if

I don't appreciate

what you're trying to do. I...

What? Are you still taking

these sleeping pills?

Don't you know

they're bad for you?

Now that you own

Payne Airline,

if I stay around...

Look, listen to me...

I say, if I stay around,

it's just the same as

your giving me the money.

And I'm not going to have

any woman supporting me.

If my kids want

ice-cream cones,

they're going to have to

come to me for the money

and not their mother.

Hey! Hey!

Did you hear what I said?

Ice-cream cones

from their father.

Yeah!

So the best thing for you

and me to do is just forget

about the whole thing.

I'm sorry, but that's

the way it's got to be.

Was that clear?

(MUTTERING)

HENRY:
So, you're the one.

Who? Me?

He's the one.

Oh, you mean the one

Dee Dee mentioned?

He's the one, all right.

I guess I'm the one.

Well, you're the one, too.

I got a little unfinished

business with you and I'm just

in the mood to finish it.

Don't start that again.

I don't feel like

bothering with you.

You don't have anything

to say about it.

Very well.

If you insist...

(THUDDING)

(CLEARS THROAT)

Mmm-hmm.

You must be the one.

Morning, Marv.

Sorry to hold you up.

Little business transaction

I had to help out on.

How is business?

(SCATTING)

All right. All right.

Let's get going!

Got any idea

where we're going,

or am I being too curious?

They say the United Nations

are going to have

an air force someday.

We might join up with them.

I heard about a C-47

back in New Jersey

for sale cheap.

Thought maybe we might go back

there and make a deal for that

and start all over again.

What are we going

to use for money?

Well, I hadrt

figured that out.

Are you sure you want to

string along with me?

Am I sure?

Who'd keep you happy

if I wasrt around?

Okay.

Look at that Constellation

out there!

All set to take off

for New York.

Did you ever see anything

you wanted more than that?

No, I guess a four-engine

airplane is just about

the most beautiful thing

in the world.

Just look at her.

It's as if she felt so good,

she wanted to shout about it.

Ten thousand horses

raring to go and

singing their heads off.

Seems silly to be jealous

of an airplane, but I am.

You walked out on me

last night.

You took advantage of me

when I was asleep.

I had a lot more arguments.

Yeah. So did I.

Well, there's only one thing

that matters, anyway.

Either someone loves someone,

or someone doesn't

love someone, I guess.

Well, it's not

quite that simple.

Sometimes things are just

out of your reach, no matter

how much you want them.

Like that Connie.

That's not so hard to get.

Take another look.

Now, wait a minute.

I know. You don't want

to work for a woman.

Well, you won't have to.

You'll be in complete control.

Besides, I'll be busy at home,

I hope, like Mrs. Racknell.

No one will ever love

that plane the way you do,

or handle it

the way you will.

Now, I told you last night,

what happens to me every time

I get close to you.

I know, you get all fogged up

and you spin and so do I,

and what's wrong with that?

Hey, Prexy, if Payne Air

is going to take off,

we gotta file a flight plan.

Are we stopping anyplace?

I guess not.
