Original subtitles

SUDDEN FEAR

Subtitles by Seglora

When I wake in the morning,when I go to sleep at night I think of you.

You're like the air which surrounds me

sky which spreads above me breaths beneath my feet

When I hear music,when I see beauty

when I breath in the sunlight I think of you

You are all the women in my life you're the sister I never had

the mother I almost forgotten

the wife I've always dreamed of.

There isn't a relationship you can name, which exists between a man and a woman

of which I wouldn't say,let it be you

Oh,let it be you!

OK,that's Act II. Curtain. I liked that tempo, Lester.

Keep it that way,stick a pin in it

Let's take a 10 min break.

This is it: "The rumor along Schubert alley is

that Myra Hudson, the San Fransisco heiress

"who needs another hit the way Rockefeller needs another million,

"is rumored to have her best play yet in "Half way to Heaven".

"which Scott Martindale put into rehearsal this week. "

I always said forget the heiress business

This gives you money to media, they'll stop bothering you

Do you want to talk about those Second Act changes now?

I think we ought to talk about this actor first.

He is really fine,isn't he?

Got a lovely speaking voice!

He sounds romantic enough just doesn't look romantic

He is an excellent actor,Myra.

I know Bill, but that is not enough for this role.

We got to convince the audience

that this character could recite"Three Blind Mice" to Laura

And she would think it was the most romantic poem in the world

He has to be the kind of charm boy

that makes every woman in the audience

right up and go"Mhuuup" the instant he walks on that stage

I haven't seen an actor like that since John Barrymore.

Scott,I've watched him from every section of this theater

And I am sorry, but he is just not right for the part

Have you decided to set yourself up as a judge as to who is romantic looking,Myra?

I have to direct this play,and in my opinion he'll be great for the part

You're both entitled to your opinions

But I still say,that he is not my idea of a romantic leading man

Sweetie,I am only putting a paltry 85,000 $ in this play

I know that's only interest on your securities

But it happens to be my money.

That you may on my play

Well ...

That's no use in arguing

I hate to break the news to Blaine.

Tell him the truth. Make me the heavy

Say I exercise the dramatist's privilege of actors approval

You heard her Bill

You fire him

Then they wonder why I haven't a friend along Broadway!

That's all for today,everybody

Mr. Blaine, can I see you a moment?

Ann?

Anything in the morning mail that needs an immediate answer?

Telegram from San Francisco from Steve Kearney.

Charles Holt phoned about an interview.

And The Dramatist�s Guild asked

if you could attend a committee meeting Saturday evening

Friday, at 2 pm for Mr Holt.

Tell the Guild I'm in rehearsal but I'll try

Wire Steve, that the play opens on the 21st

and I'll take the train to San Francisco on the following Monday.

Miss Hudson!

In your own native city of San Francisco

there is an art gallery where there is an oil painting of Casanova.

It's quite obvious you've never seen this painting

For your information, Miss Hudson

This is what Casanova looked like

He had big ears, a scar over one eye,

a broken nose and a wart on his chin.

Right here!

I suggest,Miss Hudson, that when you return to San Francisco

you visit this gallery and see this painting

Mr. Blaine ...

Mr Blaine

- This train go right to San Francisco? - It is through going

I'll be waiting for you at the open pier,Myra

Thank you,Ann

I'm so tired, I don't want to see or talk to anyone until I get to San Francisco.

I'll take a rest cure on the train

-I'll drive Ann to the airport tonight -Thanks,Bill.

I am like Myra,I'd rather ride the train.

Have a wonderful trip.

And if you have any spare time between here and Chicago,write me another play!

Oh,sure,I'll have it done by Cleveland!

Board!

Mr. Blaine?

Mr. Blaine?

Hello, Miss Hudson.

It's quite a coincidence you're getting on the train at Buffalo.

Oh,I get on the train in New York,Miss Hudson

As a matter of fact, I saw you embark

You did!

I saw the whole procession candy, books, flowers.

On,now look

I thought perhaps you came down to say good bye to me

And then I remember you've done that a month ago

I tried to reach you several times about a month ago.

-Did you? -Yes

Excuse me,Sir

Sorry

Now that you are here, won't you come in for a drink?

All right

Shall I ring for the porter?

Yes,please.

Sit down

What are you reading?

"Time after Crime"

Yes, Miss Hudson?

A couple of drinks scotch with ice,please.

Yes, sir.

How did you know?

What you drink? I read the papers.

Now that I finally caught up with you, I'd like really to explain what really..

Please don't

Look,Miss Hudson,you wrote an excellent play

and cast it according to your best judgment

I read the reviews, they were sensational,my congratulations.

It's a little embarrassing, coming from you.

- Forget it. - Thanks.

Look,let's get down to something far more important

Do you play Stud Poker?

I haven't for years

- You mean two handed stud poker? - Yes.

I used to play like that with my father. Always used to fight like mad

Liked your father?

I adored him! He was a great poker player.

You're still willing to take a chance?

- I'll risk it! - Come in

Scotch with ice.

Would you get us a deck of playing cards,please?

Yes,Sir,I always carry a deck on me in case there is a need for some one

Thank you!

- Oh,no you don't -Please I invited you!

- Certainly not -But I insist!

I'll tell you what Let's play the match game

- The what game? - The match game,don't you know it?

I'm afraid I've never heard of it

All right I'll teach it to you. Excuse me.

Do you have any box matches?

-Yes,right here. -Thank you

This is how the game goes

There are three matches for you. Let me have your hand

3 for you and 3 for me.

Put both of your hands behind your back,like this

Yes

Put any number of matches,

0, 1, 2, 3 .in one hand.

Close it into a fist,and swing it out in front of you like this.

Now you guess how many matches there are in both of our hands combined?

- In both? - Yes.

Let's see ...

Come on

4!

Now it's my turn to guess,and I say 3. Turn your hand over like this

4! I won!

Yes ...

Are you sure you haven't played this game before?

No,I'm positive

-Thank you. -Thank you,Sir

Do you like me to close the door?

No, thank you.

And now for a fast game of poker

You'll need some chips

You shuffle the cards. We'll use the matches for chips

Four for you.

For me.

For you and for me.

Don't you have one match too many?

Sorry.

Miss Hudson I am entitled to a cut

Sorry. Cut.

Where were you born?

Near Pittsburgh.My father was a coal miner.

I served a stretch underground too as a kid,I had to.

Since then, I have traveled to Pennsylvania only at night

I don't recognize the country in the daylight

My pop couldn't understand why I want to breathe fresh air,

wear a clean face and read a book now and then

When did you start to act?

In the army playing Lennie in " Mice and Men " in a camp show

What a wonderful way to fight a war. But it was my downfall too.

Once you lost your heart to theater,it is hard to get it back

Besides I won't take it back.I'm stubborn.

I like people who make up their minds and then stick to it

Whatever the odds

You are very good actor too.

You know ...

It wasn't my lack of faith in your abilities as an actor..

Please.It has been such a delightful breakfast,Miss Hudson

let us keep it that way

Shall we play the match game?

Certainly not. We'll be in Chicago soon.

I'm going to show you a part of Chicago you never dreamed existed

Sports,theatre, the roman arena all rolled into one

Can we see all that in 4 hours?

We can see it in 5 minutes, where I'm going to take you

-Let's go -Thanks

Miss Hudson,you want to put your Chicago lipstick on

I'll wait for you in the lounge car

-Fine I'll meet you there in ten minutes. -Right

Conductor

How can I make arrangements to stay on this train

straight through to San Francisco?

My ticket is good only to Chicago.

At the next stop,I'll check to see if there is space available,on the next coach

-In The Californian Express -I appreciate that.

Yes, sir.

I always feel that I am half way home when the train leaves Chicago

Must give you a warm feeling to have a home to go to

It was such fun in Chicago today

An acting school for wrestlers. Now I've seen everything!

It's all part of the theater,that's why I knew you would be interested

You work pretty hard at the theater,don't you?

Yes,I believe I do

Why do you work?

Why do I work?

I suppose it is a desire to achieve

to earn my keep,to stand on my own two feet instead of my father's fortune.

And make my own place in the world Does that make sense to you?

Makes a lot of sense

Personal achievement, it's what we all want, each in our own way

I got to be honest if I'd inherited all that money

I'm not sure I would have the character

Of course you would,look

A lot of little cells and glands and molecules get together

they spell out Lester Blaine.

There is no other person in the whole world who exactly duplicates you

2 billion and 174 million people

but only one Lester Blaine

I'll travel part of the way with you on that idea

2 billion and 174 million people in the world

but only one Myra Hudson.

Excuse me.

Your table for two in the dining car is ready,Mr. Blaine.

Thank you.

Shall we ... Myra?

"The sky is painted with the thousands spots

"They are all fire and every one does shine"

"There is but one in all that hold his place. "

-Julius Caesar , Act III, scene 2. - Roger.

I'll bet here is one you don't know

" Burn this night with torches!

"I know my heart,I hope well tomorrow"

- Antony and Cleopatra - Right.

And tomorrow you'll be in San Francisco.

You'd love my San Francisco

Is that a wedding ring?

It was my mother's.

There she is, Steve!

Looks wonderful!

Who is that with her?

Why,it's that actor!

Myra darling! Welcome home.

You are wonderful.

You remember Lester?

-Hello,Lester -Hello,Ann

Mr Steve Kearney, my lawyer, my guide and my dearest friend.

-Mr Kearney -Mr Blaine

Ever been to San Francisco before?

Very briefly,I came through with the camp show during the war

It'll be such fun showing you San Francisco

How about dining and dancing?

- Tonight? - You're not tired of your trip,Myra?

Not at all.Where shall we pick you up?

I'm not sure where I'm going to stay

Well ...Let's say "Fairmont" at 9 pm.

That'll be fine

They dance well together,don't they?

Welcome to my home,Lester

Thank you.

It's quite a cozy home

Cozy enough for you to take your coat off

I'll be delighted

5 pm already and I am not the least sleepy

Is it that late?

It has been fun tonight,hasn't it?

It's still fun this morning

This is where I work.

Where your plays are born

Plays are born out of everything you ever seen

of all the men and women you'd ever known

This is where I put them on paper

- Would you like a drink? - Yes.

Scotch, orange juice, milk?

-Whatever you drink - Milk then.

What's this?

A guided missile?

No,that's my dictation machine.

I've never seen one like it before.

I had it built specially I like to wander around when I dictate

I'll show you something See this?

It is a microphone.

There are four others hidden around the room.

There is the master switch over there

I turn it on, all the microphones are alive automatically.

When I start to talk the disc records,when I stop,it stops

Very ingenious.

-Skol -Skol

Why don't you try it yourself

And walk around the room.

Say something.

Well?

"When I wake in the morning,

"when I go to sleep at night, I think of you.

"You're like the air which surrounds me,

"The sky which spreads above me the earth

"Beneath my feet.

"I hear music, when I seek beauty,

"When I breathe in the sunlight I think of you.

"You're the sister I never had the mother I've almost forgotten,

"The wife I've always dreamed of.

"There isn't a relationship you can name which exists between a man and a woman,

"of which I wouldn't say let it be you

"And let it be you."

It's very flattering to be quoted.

I'll play it back for you

" Say something

Well

"When I wake in the morning,

"when I go to sleep at night, I think of you.

"You're like the air which surrounds me,

"The sky which spreads above me the earth

"Beneath my feet.

"I hear music, when I seek beauty,

"And let it be you."

It's very flattering to be quoted.

It was a wonderful day.

Every minute of it

Dinner is at seven don't be late,darling

I'll be ahead of time

- Operator -Operator

I've been trying to get Prospect 1717 for two hours

Will you please check and make sure the phone is not out of order

- One moment, please. - Thank you.

Myra,we are a delegation of two to see what happening to our hostess.

Myra you must come down

I'll be there in a minute.

You've been trying to teach me manners ever since I was a kid

Everybody is waiting

phone number 17171 ...

there is no answer

Something must have happened to him

Maybe the guy got his dates mixed

You are giving this party just for him

Myra,let me phone.So you can join your guests.

Maybe he misunderstood the time

He would have called, he calls every night.

He wouldn't be two hours late for unless something had happened

I must go now

Could I drive you, Myra?

No,thanks,Junior,this is something I'd do all by myself

What will I tell the guests?

It doesn't matter,tell them anything,just tell them anything

Lester

Where have you been? I've been calling and calling why haven't you answered?

Forgive me.

Where are you going?

I've no place in your life,Myra No proper place.

And you were leaving?

Without even a word?

I don't belong to your world.

You have so much. I have nothing.

Without you I have nothing.

Darling?

- Good Morning - Good Morning

How did you sleep last night?

Wonderfully.

- Come on, you slept enough. - No, stop!

- Where is the bathing suit? - In the drawers

- Which one is it? - That one.

- Come on,let's get a swim before breakfast - All right

Turn your head away

Come on, turn your head away

I like to look at you

You couldn't possibly this hour in the morning

Anybody can look at you in the afternoon

But I haven't even got my lipstick on

A woman has to wear lipstick I fell positively naked without it

Darling!

Let's get out of here before I forget I am a married man

- Do you want this? - Yes, please.

I'll fix breakfast for us after our swim.

Where are the steps to the float?

Right

-Follow Me! -OK

What's the matter,darling?

It is a precipice!

I've been running up and down these steps ever since I was 12

Don't you ever do it again!

Why not? Remember what Nietzsche said"Live dangerously "

-You know what happened to Nietzsche? -What?

He's dead

Mr. and Mrs. Lester Blaine will proceed

these stairs with a nice slow down walk

- All right. - Watch out.

- What is it? - There isn't even a guarding

- It is no danger, not really! - Oh no?

You could kill falling down these steps

What a beautiful place for it!

You know what we do here in the winter time We ski!

Ms. Blaine You are about to be dumped

-No,no -You are

Eve, darling.

My dearest friends, Eve and George Ralston.

- Dr. Van Roan. - How do you do, Doctor.

Looks like you married a good healthy specimen,Myra

I'm so happy for you!

Fine,that's what we are looking for, a bad bridge player with good money

George!

Just a joke,dear

-Good evening, Mr Kearney. -Julius

We had a divine time at the summer house.

Oh Myra,my mother is coming

How do you do, Mrs. Blaine.

This is my husband, Lester Blaine.

- How do you do,Mr Blaine. - Miss Neves.

-Welcome to California,Miss Neves -Thank you

Are you a visitor or are you going to stay here?

No,I intend to become a San Franciscan

I've taken an apartment at Tamalpais

- How nice - You excuse us Myra

-Lester -Junior

Introduce Miss Neves to our guests and give her a drink,will you?

Sure

Very nice to have met you both

-Hello,Steve -Hello,Junior

Miss Irene Neves. My brother, Steve.

How do you do,Miss Neves

How about you and I having a drink together?

Don't get out. It's too late. Thank you for a lovely evening.

I usually take my girls to the front door and kiss them good night.

You stay right where you are!

Good night,dear

Call me tomorrow.

-Good Night -Good Night,Junior

What are you doing in San Francisco?

An old friend of mine married a San Francisco girl

Here, I'll show you.

It was all in the New York papers

Good pictures, both,isn't it?

Don't be cute

I thought I come out here and see how you are getting along

- How long have you been here? - A week. And take the hands off me

Where did you meet Kearney?

At his office.

You see I thought I might need a lawyer

Your wife's lawyer from choice

- Steve is my wife's lawyer! - Yes.

But Junior is most impressionable.

What did you say to impress him?

You said you were going to Chicago for a job

What did you say to impress him?

You mean if I told him why a certain woman lends you $ 5,000?

Have you?

Have you?

Not yet. And I have not told him about the house in Fire Island either

Neither the night after New Year

If you ever do,you are going to need a new face

Remember that

Thanks

Thanks a lot

Thanks for what?

You are still loving me

KEARNEY KEARNEY & LAWYERS

Tell Mr. Bolder I'll call back

And please hold the phone calls for a while Miss Carter.

Yes, Mr. Kearney

As I understand it,it all boils down to a matter of dollar and cents.

That's right.

You realize, of course, that your wife is a very wealthy woman.

- I've never discussed it with her - I see.

Before I pursue the matter further

I think I should know just how much money you require

Naturally I can't pretend to support Myra but I have to at least support myself

Certainly I have no intention implying

Are you sure of it?

You're a too good friend of Myra and I hope eventually of mine

Excuse me

- Yes? - Steve

I just added up Myra's new figure for the Hudson foundation

Do you realize what percentage of the estate she is giving away?

I'll talk to you about it later.

You are saying there is very little work for an actor here in San Francisco

Yes,still Myra comes first with me so

Since her friends and her interests are here,this is where we'll have to live

I'm glad to hear you say that

Now could you give some advice of what kind of employment to look for

I don't like to use my wife's connection but.

Unfortunately I don't have any on my own

I see.

You realize that with Myra's income as a play writer

There is no real necessity for you to work at all

I've a very real necessity for my going to work,Steve

You see I'm not the kind of a man, who could live on his wife's money

I understand.

Hey,Steve,before I prepare the ...

Here is a friend of yours

-Hello,Lester -Hello,Junior

-Good to see you. -Thank you.

Social visit or is Kearney& Kearney about to getting a new client

Purely social

Telephones for you. Miss Irene Neves.

- Pardon me, Lester. - Sure

Hello, Irene!

You did?

I had a wonderful time too

How about trying it again some time soon

Tonight?

Don't worry,you couldn't get rid of me, if you tried

What a charming place you choose for a rendez vous

You are still running after young Kearney,what's the idea?

You're hurting me.

I haven't started to hurt you,when I should get some straight answers

Why are you seeing Kearney?

Because you haven't called me in 8 days. Because the rents is due,

and because I'd rather eat rather than starve!

I'll got to get you some money as soon as I can but I've got to watch my step

What am I supposed to do while you watch it ?

Look at the walls and wait for the phone to ring?

I'll tell you what you can do, you can help me

Junior likes you.He talks easy for somebody he liked

What do you want him to talk about?

My wife is giving a lot of money away

to a thing called the Hudson Heart Foundation.

I want to know how gets how much and who handles the money

Why don't you turn over in bed some morning and ask her

Why don't we really start to work together the way we used to?

Yes, why don't we?

You'll see what you can get out of Kearney?

I'll turn him inside out

Hello! Lester?

It's about time you called

Yeah,I finally got him to talk, it took five Martinis

He really talked last night

You want to know the part of her father's estate she is giving away?

All of it!

I wish I was kidding! But according to Junior

She is only keeping a little real estate

that she bought with her money and royalties from her play.

All the rest she is giving to hm hm hm foundation.

It's a fine noble character you married! Ha

Wants to use that key I gave you and come on over,we've got lots to talk about

Goodbye.

-Hi -Hello, darling.

Thank you once again for a wonderful time last night.

Dancing in the middle of the week, made me feel like a debutante

You look like a debutante

What have you got there?

Just a little private party before the guests arrive

You know you're spoiling me for any other husband

I can't think of anything more exciting

than drinking champagne in a pretty woman's bedroom

I can't think of anything more exciting than drinking champagne with you

-Skol -Skol

- I was talking to Steve the other day ... - He'll be here in a few minutes

And he was coming early to bring some papers

He mentioned something about a trust fund

you were setting up in memory of your father

Heart Foundation.

Great idea.Tell me about it some day will you?

I'd love to, darling.

You are messing me.

Am I?

- Who is it? - Mr. Kearney has arrived to see Mrs Blaine

Hello Steve! You wanted to see me?

Yes my dear. Happy birthday!

But that isn't until Monday!

But the coming Monday is the big birthday as you know

Today, you sign the trust agreement over to the foundation.

Don't tell me that I have still more papers to look at?

Simultaneously conveyance for Lester to put his name on

you are married now,you know

I know ...and I love it

And while I was about it,I made out a new will for you to sign,because..

Because I'm married, I know!

As your friend and as well as your attorney

I took the liberty of suggesting what I consider a sensible bequeath

Thank you, Steve.

If they turn out not to satisfy you, I could change them to anything you like

"My husband ...

"On my death income 10,000 dollars a year for life

"or until he remarries."

Steve!

I wouldn't do a thing like that to someone I loved

Not for all the money in the world.

I'm not going to hang on to any man from the grave

I'm astonished at you

Steve, all my life I've been rich

Nobody could give me anything.I had it all

But it was not enough.

Then I met Lester.

He filled my life completely.

He gave me everything and took nothing

Only my love.

And for the first time in my life,I felt poor,

because that was all I have to give

And for the first time, in my life I felt rich,

Because he gave me so much in return.

Myra?

You learned this in daylight

and if there is any playwright who turned out dialogue like that

I know ... but the happy hearts love the cliches

Yes, I know.

Look,let me dictate the changes I'd like tomorrow a

and you can pick it up with the rest of the papers on Monday

Could you do it now? Junior and I are going to Sacramento tomorrow

- That sounds very good! - Doesn't it

We argue a case before the State Supreme Court.

You're supposed to think about it now

To my dear husband ...

To my beloved husband ...

What is the matter, Steve?

Nothing ..nothing at all.

I'd better dictate these changes

Paragraph one:

"I, do hereby give and bequeath to my beloved husband,Lester Blaine

"The income from all my play royalties

"This income to be his in perpetuity,

"And is not revokable on his remarriage after my death

"Or during my lifetime,

"Should our marriage to be dissolved

"I'm not going to hang on to him on this side of the grave either

My guests are here

Steve, be an angel

and run down and tell them I'll be there in 10 minutes, will you?

- Certainly - Thanks.

Paragraph 2 ...

Do you like the door closed?

Yes,please.

Paragraph 2:

"Upon my death, all my real estate and investment holdings

are to go to my husband.

"For the small return for the happiness he has given me. "

It is so nice of Mrs. Blaine to ask me here tonight!

I'll have to see you alone

I do not see how

It's a pleasure to have you here,Miss Neves

It's important

- Myra will be right down, Lester. - Thank you, Steve.

All right Myra's study upstairs I'll tell you when

Thank you!

Junior!

I'll bid four spades.

Pass.

Six hearts.

I'll just double the six hearts.

Redouble

Oh no.

Now we are in for it

Take a look at that dummy partner?

- Good Morning, Ann! - Good Morning, Myra.

You slept late after the party last night

Lester had already gone when I woke up.

He left a message for you,said he might be late for dinner

Did you know that you left dictating machine on last night?

Oh, no,I didn't, I'd turn it off. At least, I think I did!

It was on when I was ready to leave so I turned it off

Maybe I did leave it on!

I was feeling very gay last night!

Good to see you so happy!

Paragraph One:

"I, do hereby give and bequeath to my beloved husband,Lester Blaine

"The income from all my play royalties

"This income to be his in perpetuity,

"And is not revokable on his remarriage after my death

""or during my lifetime,should our marriage be dissolved

"I'm not going to hang on to him on this side of the grave either

My guests are here

Steve be an angel

and run down and tell them I'll be there in 10 minutes, will you?

-Certainly -Thanks

Paragraph 2 ...

I close the door?

Please.

Paragraph 2:

"Upon my death, all my real estate and investment holdings

are to go to my husband

"For the small return for the happiness he has given me. "

What's happened?

Lester,Junior told me something I think you ought to let you know

She's made a new will

Go on

That's what Steve had to see her about

He is leaving with Junior for Sacramento for three days

and when they return on Monday the will is to be signed

- Why the rush? - I do not know.

-How do I stand it for? -I couldn't find out

Steve read it out right flat into my face

How couldn't you find out?

What excuse can I give Junior for asking

I have chanced much as it is

It's part of the loving bridegroom beginning to crawl out of my ears

You know the lines keep on saying them

and you do it good

Sometimes I am with her,it's all I can do to keep from saying

for yourself why is up? I feel I never loved you,never for a one moment

I'd like to see her face

You are talking crazy

Come here

Take it easy,I've got to go back downstairs

Once more

the lipstick,I got to fix it before somebody comes

Where is in there?

Here, under the desk

Just a hoax that's all I dream about

Lester,don't

I don't know how I stand it not being with you

What's this on the desk?

It's the Will

Last Will and Testament of Myra Hudson Blaine

Let's see where I come in

JV Hudson Foundation, that's not in here

Here it is "My husband, Lester Blaine on my death

$ 10,000 per year.

Is that all?

Take a look at this "Until he remarry."

And you thought you were playing it so smart not taking anything from her

No presents,no jewelry,no handouts,nothing

-That dirty double crossing vain thinking - Listen

She can't sign until Monday.

-Did Junior say that? - Yes.

She is transferring into West Groveland the old man's money.Monday

she can't dispose of it until it is hers

She doesn't sign the will until Monday, so what's the difference?

Suppose she isn't able to sign it on Monday

What do you mean?

Suppose something happened to her between now and Monday,who gets her money?

"Her husband, Lester Blaine." I get it all. Why not?

Sure.Why not?

Rich

You and me rich!

Lester, I have a gun.

That's no good

It'll have to look like an accident

-Sure,sure that's easier -Not too easy

We've got three days

I've got to be smart. As a husband I would be suspected before she is cool

Three days,we'll work it out

Kiss me.

Kiss me

-Hard -I'm crazy about you

No more.We have to be careful. You'd better give me the key back

- What key? - You know what key.The key to my apartment

-I might need it -Don't you,dear

But Junior popping in and out,and your wife's house only a few blocks away

That's great with Steve and Junior being away

We got to think fast

I would think of a nice fool proof little accident

We'll work something out

I know a way ...

I know a way ...

I know a way ... I know a way ...

It's the part of the loving bridegroom beginning to crawl out of my ears

Let's take hold of you like this

It's what I dream about

Take it easy, Lester.

I don't know how I can stand there

Not being with you

I'm so crazy about you

I could break your bones

I'll make it a perfect accident

But it's got to look like an accident

a nice foolproof little accident

An accident ... An accident ...

Myra

Myra

Are you in there?

Myra, let me in

I heard her scream what's the matter,darling?

What's the matter?

I was asleep I ...

I guess I was dreaming

What's wrong,Myra? Heaven,the servants hasn't seen you all day

I haven't been feeling too well

I'm sorry

Is it anything serious?

Just a frightful headache

I've never seen you look like this.

I guess,maybe, I had too much champagne last night.

You drunk a toast with everybody

- I'll fix you something for your headache. - No!

Sorry my nerves are so on edge.

I've had an aspirin.I'll be all right if I could just sleep this off

Just as you say, dear ...

I'll put you to bed then.

Come on

You'll feel better when you get under the covers.

Isn't that better?

I'm going to see that you get a good night's rest

Where are your sleeping pills?

Here they are.

This will help you to sleep.

Here

What's the matter, darling?

I am sure I will fall asleep without it

I'm very tired

All right

Don't fight it ,dear

Take a pill if you can't sleep

Good night, darling

I am going to bed early tonight too,so .

Would you like me to leave my door open,in case you need me?

No, thanks.

Give me the key back

What key?

You know what key,the key to my apartment

I liked this

Lester

I have a gun

Good Morning, Mr. Blaine.

Good Morning, Mrs. Blaine.

You are up early,didn't you sleep?

Like a tot

The last thing I remember, was reaching for the pills

and I was fast asleep

You are feeling much better?

Much

Service!

I am feeling a little apologetic this morning

- What about? - Yesterday.

I'm afraid I was a pretty bad tempered

And you weren't much like yourself

I just been working too hard lately

Trying to get my new play started,I'm sorry, Lester.

I think it might be a good idea to get away for a few days

Rest up

Maybe I can bring that nice tempered Mrs Blaine back?

Go away? Where would you go?

Oh,just down to the summer house.

This time of year?

I know it sounds crazy but I love down with Bahena winter

It is so quiet.I can take walks along the water front.

Sounds pretty dreary

It's wonderful.Like being on a desert island.

Aren't any of the houses open?

Nothing near.

All the houses along the waterfront are closed for the season.

I'll only have the seagulls for company like a Russian novel!

It is very restful being alone ...

away from everybody.

You don't mind me tiding up after you,do you?

I don't mind anything about you

except you're going away

OK

If that's what you want, that's what we'll do

But I wouldn't expect you to come!

Of course I'll come!

Don't really

there is no reason for you to be bored just because I am in need a rest

Get this straight, darling,I wouldn't let you go down there by yourself

Let's not argue about it

I'll confess something, I was hoping that you'd ask to come

- Then it's all settled? - If you're sure you don't mind

Mind? When it's for you ?

We'll have a second honeymoon. No servants,no visitors just the two of us

- Sounds wonderful. - It will be wonderful!

- I'll start to pack right away - Wait!

It's too soon to pack isn't it? Since we are not leaving until Sunday

- Sunday? But I thought ... - I would if I could ...

but I can't get away any earlier,dear

Oh! Lester ...

- Would you do me a favour? - Of course,dear.

Would you drive down to the house this afternoon and build a fire

to get rid of the dampness?

I'd be glad to

Good I'll see you at dinner then.

Wait a minute.

Aren't you going to kiss me?

Why you do you look at me like that?

I was just wondering what I had done to deserve you.

Did you know that Myra asked me to lunch with her today?

What did you tell her?

That I had a date with a very exciting man

You don't suppose she could suspect anything,do you?

Not the way I make love to her

Sunday,it's cutting it awfully thin,isn't it?

Sure, this place is so perfect for an accident.

Down those stairs ...

And it was her own idea to come here

Yes! Now look

The first thing you do tomorrow morning is to call up the theater ticket agency

Get two seats for a couple of shows next week.

- Who for? We can't.. - For her.

You better make it four, and ask Junior and me.

I'll fit Junior to play a dinner first or a supper party afterward

And then we would all be brokenhearted together

Nag list

Fashion is in FAIRMONT

Lester, I have the solution

Come home at midnight

Do not ring. Take your key

Lester, I have the solution

Come home at midnight

Do not ring. Take your key. Irene.

Irene I have a foolproof plan

Come find me inside the garage just at midnight

If I don't show up by 0030 go home

Destroy this.Lester

Good morning. Ready?

Ready? For what?

To go to the summer house the way you planned.

- You're not dressed yet ? - But I told you ...

Oh,I'm sorry,it must have been Ann I told

Told what?

About the Ralstons,you see,yesterday was her birthday,tomorrow is mine

And every year she gives this birthday party

the day in between,I've completely forgotten about it

What do you say?

That we are not going to the summer house, we are going to the Ralstons instead

- But you promised ... - I know.

But I promised Eve first a long time ago

Listen ...

You said we were going to the summer house.You can't back out now!

Lester? Why are you so excited?

I guess I was just disappointed.

I mean I've been looking forward to being alone with you

Another honeymoon ...

We can still have it the next week

You need a rest now why give it up for a dinner party?

I'm feeling much better now

And besides Steve and Junior will be back from Sacramento

I thought they weren't due until Monday?

At the office

They will be home tonight, she has asked them too

Dinner and bridge.

Dinner and bridge ...

You might have told me sooner

Is it so important?

No.

I ...

I broke a golf date this afternoon

But you can still go out. It's early. Don't be cross.

I'm not cross!

It's sweet of you to be disappointed.

I'll go to the club and see if I could get a game

Don't be late.I've asked Steve, Irene,and Junior for cocktails

so we all can go to the Eves together

All right

You let her get away with it

You let her get away with it

Cut it out! I couldn't make her poke for I couldn't carry her there?

You may have to.There are only a few hours left

It's our last chance!Our last chance

I could have strangled her when she said we weren't going

Two whole days thrown away lost

We could have planned for this, we could have worked it all out

All right,we can't waste any more time

Go and answer it

Hello?

OK

The landlady,the radio is too loud

Lester it's got to be tonight.

We can't take any chances and lose everything

It's got to be an accident. A quick accident.

What kind of an accident?

What kind? What kind?

Keep your voice down

What kind of an accident?

Lester!

You remember that woman who tried to kill herself on Fire Island?

So?

I took it away from her

Remember?

What?

What she tried to kill herself with

What is that to do with us?

I got it! I saved it!

I'll show you

- Refill everybody? - Yes,Sir.

Always run for one more

Oh,Junior,please!

Irene,I'm sorry I didn't know you were going to wear white tonight

It's going to be embarrassing for you, I can run upstairs and change in a second

No,you look so lovely,Myra

Thank you.

-There is a wonderful Martini. -Thank you

The servants are off tonight,excuse me while I get the hors d'oeuvre

Why don't we just stay here tonight? This is more fun than playing bridge.

The bridge is a wonderful game, occupies the mind

keeps you away from bad company, and use a small but steady income

Well if I must play bridge I hope that Myra is my partner. OK partner?

Myra's mind is some place else tonight,come to the party,dear!

I'm so sorry.

I hate to break this up but we are due to Ralstons

I'll get my coat,right away

A year ago tonight at the Ralstons

Junior and I made seven spades double and redouble

Ready everybody!

Myra!

All right?

- I think so. - Get some water somebody.

- How did it happen? - I tripped over my coat.

- Pale as a ghost! - I'm still alive!

Sit on this chair

- My ankle. - Which one is it? Have a look at it

This one.

Careful

Take the shoe off

It's look pretty bad.You'd better call a doctor

Oh no,no, it isn't that serious.

If it isn't better by tomorrow I'll have it X rayed

Here, drink this

Here,darling

Thank you.

Try to stand on it,it's the best thing

No,I don't think you should

Exercise is good for it

Is it?

Keeps the circulation going

-All right, Irene,I'll try. -Yes

Lester, will you help me?

Sure

No,no use

I think you ought to go right to bed,Myra

Yes, perhaps you're right.

Maybe if you rested a while.

No, I'm afraid not

I don't suppose there is any use asking me to go on without me?

Not a husband like yours?

I certainly wouldn't leave you alone.

You have to go by yourselves. Tell Eve and George how sorry we are

I'll get your coat, Irene.

The faster we get out of her the sooner she'll get to bed

I'm sorry, Myra.

I was such a fool falling down the steps

So clumsy of me

You insist being your own doctor,remember

It's ice packs, for a sprain not a hot water bottle

I know thank you, Steve.

I'll take good care of Myra

Of course you will, Lester.

I just put on my scarf,where is the mirror?

Excuse me.

I hope I haven't broken up your game tonight?

Forget it just take care of your ankle

I will.Thank you, Junior.

Come meet me at the garage just at midnight

So we'll play cut in,but I still think you ought to call the doctor

Please tell Eve how sorry I am

-I know she'll understand -She'll understand,dear

Of course,she will

I'll call after dinner to see how you feel

Yes,Steve

-Good Night -Good Night

-I do hope you feel better soon,Myra -Thank you Irene

Please let yourselves out I want to take Myra upstairs

-Good Night -Good Night Lester,Myra

I'm sorry to spoil your evening

But you don't like bridge anyway

Would you give me an ice bag?

And a cigarette,please?

I'll see if there is an ice pack in the bath room

No ice bag here I have to go down stairs for one

Will you bring my coat it's still on the stairs?

Right,ice bag coat and I'll pick up your shoe too

Or maybe a book,would you like me to read to you after a while?

Yes

I'd like that

I'd like that very much

"That's mystery has its place in yours

do not be always turning up your whole soil with the ploughshare of self examination

"Leave a little fallow corner in your heart

ready for any seed the wind may breed

And reserve a nook of shadow for the passing bird

Keep a place in your heart for the unexpected guest

An altar for the unknown God

Then if a bird sing among your branches, do not be too eager to tame it

If you are conscious of something new

Thought or feeling waken in the depths of your being

Do not be in a hurry to let him light upon it

To look at it

Let the springing germ..have the protection of being forgotten

Edge it around but quiet"

Do not break in upon it the darkness

Let it take shape and go

Another world of your happiness to anyone

Darling!

Are you asleep?

Are you asleep?

Let me go

Dames

Thanks for bringing me home from the party so early when you having such a good time

Please,Junior,I have a head ache,I'm going to take an aspirin and go to bed

I've run into stiff competition in my time

First time I've ever tangled over an aspirin

Junior, I told you why I came home early

I know it is awfully good for a headache

Why don't you relax and let yourself go?

Not tonight,Junior,please

-Don't send me away,not now -I don't want to,you know that

It's this headache that's why I left the party early

You are much too beautiful to have a headache

You needn't crush me to death

Sorry how I've been dragging myself crazy and imaging things

Imagining might be someone else

Won't you give me a chance?

If there were I'll kill him

You wouldn't kill anyone

Why not?

You are not the type

You know,satisfied?

The answer is no

But I'll go

Just one more
