You Gotta Stay Happy Page #9

about this, but I wanted

to do it in my own way,

so that you'd

understand.

Oh, I understand,

all right.

Your name is Dee Dee

Dillwood Benson.

You're married and you're

dusting off your husband.

I'm not really married.

I knew right after the wedding

that I'd made a mistake,

so I ran.

Henry doesn't mean

anything to me.

Then why did you marry him?

Because I was mixed up

and confused and I didn't

know my own mind.

But I do now.

I love you, Marv.

I guess you said that

quite a few times before, huh?

Not the way

I'm saying it to you now.

Oh, now, look.

How many times have you

used that one?

I've made a lot of mistakes,

but this isn't one of them.

You've got to believe that.

I'll tell you

what I believe.

I believe that

you're a spoiled,

pampered girl,

who has to have everything

she wants, when she wants it,

no matter how much

it hurts anybody else.

Well, in that case,

I'd better not go on

to the coast with you.

I might hurt someone.

I guess we can manage

without you.

Eighty million bucks?

Will you take me into Tulsa

with you, Mr. Racknell?

Why, sure, as soon as

we get finished here.

I'll wait for you

in the truck.

(TRACTOR ENGINE WHIRRING)

Mr. Racknell, you tell him

to move the tractor round

to the tail of the airplane.

Sure will.

(INAUDIBLE)

There seems to be

a slight complication.

They want to see

the chimpanzee

smoke a cigar.

I promised them

they could.

That was the only way

I could get them

to bring the tractor.

Okay.

But it'd save time

if they'd tow the airplane

up onto solid ground first,

then they can watch the monkey

while we get things ready.

I'll ask them.

They won't do it.

No cigar, no tractor.

They drive a hard bargain.

Okay. Okay,

let's get it over with.

Get me those cigars,

will you, Bullets?

Good morning,

gentlemen.

Right this way.

Step right over there.

You'll get a better look.

Now, folks, this is

the only monkey in the world

that can smoke a cigar.

All right, Joe.

His name's Joe.

Joe. Have a cigar.

Here you are.

Wouldrt you...

Don't...

Don't you want

the nice cigar, Joe?

Please.

(LAUGHS NERVOUSLY)

Hey, King Kong,

smoke the cigar.

Smoke for the people.

That old monkey can't smoke.

MARV:
Joe, please.

Well, now,

wait a minute.

Wait a minute.

We'll get him to do it

in just a second here.

Just a minute

and he'll do it.

All right.

It'll just take

a little time.

All right, now.

Now, here you are, Joe.

Let's have a...

Let's have a smoke, huh?

(JOE SCREECHING)

All right, now, take it easy,

take it easy, Joe.

Now, Joe,

I'll tell you what I'll do.

I'll light it for you.

It might help him along

a little. Here we go.

(COUGHS)

Here you are.

Here you are, Joe.

Now, just like that.

You know how.

I know you do.

Now, watch.

It's very simple.

Very simple.

Very sim...

(HOOTING)

(COUGHS)

Have a smoke.

Here, Joe. That's it.

Smoke it for mother.

(LAUGHING)

(ALL APPLAUDING)

So, you can manage

without me?

Okay, tell them

where to put the tractor.

Get those two fellows,

get those two fellows.

Hi, Neil.

Glad to see you, Marv.

Curly.

You had a tough time,

didn't you?

Oh, we had a lovely trip.

Air travel is the thing.

Well, there's an impressive

group of vultures

waiting over there.

We'd better get on over

and square their beefs.

Well, first

we got to have

lunchie-wunchie.

It's been a long time

since we had becksie...

Look, Bullets,

from now on

in Payne Air,

let's have it breakfast,

lunch and dinner,

shall we?

Okay, okay.

Okay.

Oh, dear me.

No, it was just the altitude.

We had to fly pretty high.

MAN:
You guaranteed to

deliver him safe and sound

and on time, which he ain't.

MARV:
Just send in the bill.

And we hold

Payne Air responsible.

Do I make myself clear?

Just send in your bill.

We will, Mr. Payne. We will.

This the end

of Payne Air?

No, it isn't.

Now, what about

the other airplane?

Didrt Ted and Eddie

get a good load

out of Mexico City?

Yeah.

With what we make out

of that load, we'll be able to

keep our heads above water.

We don't have...

What happened?

You know that cemetery

on the downwind end of

the runway at Hermosia?

Well, there was a ground fog.

They hit a monument.

Boys get hurt?

They walked away from it.

Well, what about the airplane?

It melted.

Well, I've been looking over

things all afternoon, and I...

No matter how I figure,

it all adds up that Payne Air

is just about broke.

Just had a lot

of bad breaks,

that's all.

But we're gonna work

out of it. It may be

tough going, but we'll do it.

Well, that's okay for you,

Marv. You're single.

But I've got two kids

to think about.

And Eddie's got a wife.

Yeah, yeah, I know.

We've got to have

some dough coming in.

So today...

Well, Eddie and I

had an offer, and...

Are you trying to say

you sold your stock?

Yeah.

How'd you know?

Because I sold mine, too,

this afternoon.

CURLY:
So did I.

Now, who'd buy stock

in this outfit?

Somebody fresh

out of a padded cell?

Some rich dame,

says she's interested

in the air cargo racket.

Whereabouts

is this address?

It's out in Bel Air.

She's not going

to get away with this.

But it's too late to do

anything about it, Marv.

She's already got the stock.

(CLEARS THROAT)

I just don't comprehend,

Diana.

I just don't comprehend.

You've said that once.

Martha, it's not necessary

to make remarks like that.

This is my house

and you're not my husband

any longer, hurray,

so I'll make

all the remarks I choose.

Please, Mrs. Tutwiler.

We didn't fly out here

all the way

just for you and Ralph

to start quarrelling again.

We came here

to talk to Diana.

Diana, when your lawyer

telephoned and said

you wanted an annulment,

I just couldn't

let it go at that.

Why, what would

people think?

Couldrt we at least try

our marriage for a while?

This is a whim, Diana.

You've never really known

what you wanted.

I do now.

For the first time in my life,

I know what I want.

Only he doesn't want me.

He?

Why, it couldn't possibly...

You've only been

gone two days.

How long do you

think it takes?

Diana, you're positive

you've made up your mind?

Very well.

But you're trampling

on something that could

have been beautiful.

Well, don't worry.

It'll sprout up again

with somebody else.

Goodbye, Henry.

Thank you.

Martha... Martha,

I don't suppose...

(SIGHING LOUDLY)

No, I don't suppose

you would.

Martha, what am I going to do?

I know Marv and I are

right for each other,

but he's an awfully

hard man to convince.

You'll think

of something,

if I know you.

But we'll talk about it

in the morning, dear.

You'd better take a pill

and get some sleep.

You must be dead tired.

But you can't go in there.

I want to see Miss Dillwood.

You can't!

Mrs. Tutwiler, he just came...

Hello, Marv.

It's all right, Martha.

I want to talk to you!

I'm glad to see you, Marv.

I thought that maybe...

I want to know

why you bought Payne Air.
