You Gotta Stay Happy Page #3

you were registered.

Thought I'd come up

and have a chat with you.

Well, listen, Dick,

I'm paralyzed.

I'm practically

out on my feet.

I had a pretty rough trip.

I'll see you in the morning

before I leave, huh?

Okay, good night.

(MUMBLES)

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

DIANA:
Can I come in?

Can she come in,

she wants to know.

It's those sleeping pills.

They don't seem to work.

I'm in knots.

I can't even lie down.

Why don't you take two?

Well, I took all three,

but they must be awfully

weak ones. You...

Do you think

they'd have stronger ones

down at the desk?

I'll find out.

Let me speak to

Mr. Hebert, please.

Excuse me.

Hello, Dick?

Say, Dick,

I was wondering,

do you happen to have

a sleeping pill down there

you could send up to me?

I thought you said you were

out on your feet.

What do you want

with a pill?

Uh...

I guess I'm too sleepy.

You know, knots.

Yeah. Well,

thanks very much, Dick.

He'll send one right up.

Good.

Say, I don't think

you'd better be here.

They might not understand.

No, I guess

they wouldn't.

I wish I knew what I was

going to do about clothes

in the morning.

We'll figure out something

in the morning, shall we?

I'd better disappear.

(MUMBLING)

(DOORBELL BUZZING)

Here's the pill.

Oh, Dick, well,

you didn't have to

bring it up yourself.

No trouble.

I thought I'd come up

and keep you company,

since you can't sleep.

Say, I ran into

Johnny Matthews today.

You remember. He used

to be operations officer

with our outfit?

Oh, yeah. Yeah.

He was telling me that...

Go ahead. Take the capsule.

I'll sit here

till you pass out.

Well, I don't think

you'd better do that, Dick.

With someone around,

I'm liable to stay awake

all night.

Okay, pal,

I'll run along.

Say, that stuff is

pretty strong.

If you want to wake up early,

you'd better take

only a half of it.

Stick a pin in the capsule and

take some of the powder out.

All right, I'll do that.

And thanks ever so much, Dick.

Well, good night.

Good night, Dick.

What's the idea

of sleeping in here?

There's a bedroom, you know.

Yes, I know.

But I didn't want to

muss it up, you know,

when I'm here

on a special rate.

Oh, that's silly, pal.

Make yourself comfortable.

You'll sleep a lot better

in a nice, soft bed.

Now, don't worry

about me, Dick. I'm fine.

I like the couch.

I think you ought to

try the bed, Marv.

How do you know

you don't like it

until you've tried it?

Don't go in there, Dick.

Why not, pal?

I'm sorry, Marv.

Dick, I...

Just what did you expect

to find in here?

Something just passed

through my mind...

You just happened

to wonder if...

I just happened to think...

You just happened to think...

I apologize.

Okay.

Well, good night, Marv.

Good night, old man.

Okay, I give up.

Is he gone?

Yeah.

I was hiding in the shower.

Saw the window open,

I was afraid you...

Oh, no, that comes much

later on in your story,

after the girl has

gone down and down.

Here's your pill.

Thank you.

Good night, Marv.

Good night, Dottie.

DIANA:
Don't think this one's

going to work either, Marv.

What'd you say?

Huh?

What'd you say?

Hey.

(BIRDS CHIRPING)

(DOORBELL BUZZING)

How do you do, sir?

I'm sorry to bother you

at this unseemly hour,

but I am collecting a fund

for broken-down fliers.

They're pitiful objects,

these poor fellows.

Punch-drunk, nerve-racked,

old before their time,

forced to continue

in their loathsome profession

long after they should

be retired to pursue

their hobbies.

Boy, did I pursue

my hobby last night.

(SCATTING)

(PHONE RINGING)

WOMAN.:

Good morning, it's 7.:00.

Good morning, it's 7:00.

Huh?

You know, Prexy, you ought to

get out more, mix with people.

You can't live like

a hermit all the time.

You gotta stay happy.

(SCATTING)

(PHONE RINGING)

Payne Airlines,

office of the president.

Hello?

Oh, good morning, Dick.

Yeah, I'm up.

Well, I know all about that.

I'll be out long before 9:00.

Yeah.

The pill? What pill?

Oh, the pill!

(EXCLAIMS)

Pill worked fine, Dick.

I'll see you on the way out.

Some hermit you...

She's a complete

stranger to me.

She was in a jam,

came running in here

last night, looking for help.

And you helped her?

She looks awful limp.

You don't suppose

she's dead?

No, no, of course not.

It's the dope.

The dope?

You doped her?

No, no, the sleeping pill.

Only I forgot to tell her

just to take half of it.

I think we better

wake her up.

Hey, Dottie...

Miss Blucher.

Hey.

She's still breathing.

Hey, Dottie!

(WHISTLES)

(SHUSHING)

Miss Blucher,

it's time to get up.

(DOORBELL BUZZING)

Answer the door, will you?

Don't let anybody in.

I got orders

to clean up in here.

Clean up in here?

(STAMMERS) Where you been?

We been waiting for you.

You have?

Yeah, the housekeeper's

been calling.

Wants you to come down

and clean up 2333,

right away.

2333?

Yeah, let me give you

a lift with this thing.

Kind of heavy, isn't it?

Well, yes, it is.

You know, you ought to have

an engine in this thing.

Hey! Rise and shine!

Hey, remember me?

I'm the fellow that...

Hey!

Look...

This is ridiculous.

Dottie! Hey! Hey, look!

I've got to get you

out of the room because

there's gonna be a...

There's gonna be a wedding.

It was the maid.

I got rid of her.

How're you coming? Oh, dear.

Let me take

a whirl at her.

I've had a lot of experience

with unconscious dames.

(WHISTLES)

Hey, Prexy,

when you travel,

you sure travel

in very select circles.

This is strictly

four-engine stuff.

(DOORBELL BUZZING)

Hey, Dottie!

Break it up!

(HOOTING)

They don't want me in 2333.

This is the suite I've got

to clean right away.

Now, look,

you can't clean up in here.

Come back later, will you?

Go count your linens.

Hey! Wake up, sweetheart!

Say hello to Uncle Bullets!

Now, that won't do any good.

I'll order some coffee.

Hey, Prexy,

I don't like to interfere

with your social life,

but in a short while,

we're scheduled to soar

into the wild gray yonder.

Room service.

And it's getting wilder

and grayer by the minute!

Hey, this is 2305.

Send me up some coffee,

will you?

Enough for six people.

I'm so sleepy.

Is that the 8:
00 sequence?

Okay, Newark, thanks a lot.

Well, Newark says

there's a lot of weather

west of Chicago.

We've got to get rolling.

How do you feel,

Miss Blucher?

There she goes.

Get her on her feet.

I'll try a little more

of my shock treatment.

Oh, no, don't!

Here, come on,

have some more coffee, huh?

(DOORBELL BUZZING)

There's that maid again.

I guess I'll have to

have a talk with her.

Now, look, Miss Floor Mop...

Oh, Dick.

What's this all about, Marv?

The maid says you won't

let her clean up in here.

You know there's a...

So that's it!

Hi, Dick.

Dick...

I thought you were playing

a few false notes last night,

but I gave you

the benefit of the doubt.

Say, what's wrong with her?

She's doped.

Doped?

No, the sleeping pill

you brought up last night.
