HELLO DOWN THERE!

CAN YOU STILL
HEAR ME?

MR. SHERMAN?

NOW, LISTEN.
DON'T GET SCARED.

I THOUGHT YOU GOT EVERYBODY
OUT OF THE SHAFT. WHO IS IT?

NONE OF OUR BOYS. THAT
CRAZY NEWSPAPER GUY.

I'LL NEVER LET ANOTHER SCREWY
PHOTOGRAPHER GO DOWN IN THIS MINE.

WHY DIDN'T HE COME UP
THROUGH THE EMERGENCY TUNNEL?

WHY DIDN'T HE? HE WANTS
TO GET ANOTHER PICTURE

AND ANOTHER
AND ANOTHER.

SO THE SHAFT CRACKS IN,
AND THERE HE IS.

YEAH, MR. SHERMAN. THE
EMERGENCY CREW'S DOWN NOW.

YOU BETTER GIVE HIM
THE LOWDOWN.

YEAH.

NOW, LOOK, DON'T LET
GO OF YOURSELF, BUT-

LOOK, YOU'RE IN
A TIGHT SPOT.

YEAH, I KNOW, JOE.
WELL, DON'T BLAME YOURSELF.

IT'S MY FAULT.
I CRASHED THIS LITTLE PARTY.

WELL, WOULD YOU LIKE ME TO
GET A MINISTER OVER HERE?

UH... NO.

NO, I GUESS NOT, JOE.

SAY, WHO WON THE FIGHT
LAST NIGHT?

WHAT'S HE WANT,
A MINISTER?

THE GUY'S KICKING OFF, HE
ASKED ME WHO WON THE FIGHT.

NOW, LOOK, MR. SHERMAN, ISN'T
THERE ANYTHING YOU WANT DONE?

ANY LAST REQUESTS?

NO, I GUESS NOT. THANKS.

SAY, WAIT A MINUTE, JOE.
THERE IS SOMETHING AT THAT.

COULD YOU GET AN OUTSIDE CALL
THROUGH FROM UP THERE?

OH, YOU CAN, HUH?
ALL RIGHT.

NOW, THEN, SEE IF LONG DISTANCE
CAN GET AHOLD OF MY BOSS-

JUDSON M. BLAIR, GLOBE AMERICAN
NEWS PICTURE SYNDICATE.

YEAH. YOU BETTER TRY
HIS HOME.

AND, LOOK, JOE, DON'T LET
HIM KNOW WHERE I AM, WILL YOU?

OPERATOR, THIS IS
AN EMERGENCY CALL.

EMERGENCY. LONG DISTANCE
FROM ARDWOOD, PENNSYLVANIA

CALLING MR. JUDSON M. BLAIR.

L.D. EMERGENCY,
ARDWOOD, PENNSYLVANIA,

CALLING VIA PITTSBURGH.
CUT IN, OPERATOR.

OH, JUST A MOMENT. I'LL SEE
IF MR. BLAIR CAN SPEAK TO YOU.

LONG DISTANCE, SIR.

IF THAT'S THE CUBA CALL,
I'LL TAKE IT.

NO, SIR.
IT'S PENNSYLVANIA-

MR. SHERMAN
CALLING COLLECT.

I'LL TALK TO HIM.

WELL, MR. SHERMAN,
IT'S VERY KIND OF YOU

TO LET YOUR EMPLOYER
KNOW WHERE YOU ARE,

BUT ISN'T PENNSYLVANIA
SOME DISTANCE FROM CUBA?!

WHAT BARROOM ARE YOU IN
WASTING MY MONEY,

OR AREN'T YOU
SOBER ENOUGH TO KNOW?

I AM WORKING, J.M.

I'M, UH, PRACTICALLY
UP TO MY NECK IN IT.

OH, YOU'RE WORKING,
ARE YOU?

WHY, YOU MONEY-WASTING,
UNPRINCIPLED HYENA!

NOW, LISTEN, J.M.

LISTEN VERY CAREFULLY,
FOR I'VE ONLY GOT A FEW MINUTES,

AND I WANT TO TELL YOU
WHAT I REALLY THINK OF YOU.

FOR 8 YEARS, I'VE BEEN
YOUR TROUBLESHOOTER.

I'VE YANKED STRINGS AND FIXED
THINGS SO YOU GOT YOUR PICTURES,

AND ALL I EVER HEARD FROM YOU WAS A
LOT OF WAILS ABOUT EXPENSE ACCOUNTS,

AND I TOOK IT.

WHY, YOU'RE NOT
A BIG BUSINESS EXECUTIVE.

YOU'RE A... YOU'RE
A LUCKY TUB OF LARD.

AND FOR YEARS, I WANTED TO
PUNCH YOU RIGHT IN THE SCHNOZ.

I WISH I WERE THERE
RIGHT NOW, SHERMAN!

OH, HO HO!
I WISH YOU WERE, TOO.

RIGHT NOW!

Man: MR. SHERMAN!

MR. SHERMAN,
YOU ALL RIGHT?

ALL RIGHT,
I GUESS.

RIGHT THIS WAY.

THEY BROKE THROUGH. THEY
BROKE THE SHAFT OPEN.

HE'S OK. HE'S SAFE!

SWELL!

WELL, DID YOU GET HIM?

NO, SIR.
LONG DISTANCE SAYS

MR. SHERMAN'S NO LONGER AT THAT NUMBER.

WELL, WHY DON'T YOU
KEEP ON TRYING?

VERY WELL, SIR.

GOOD MORNING, WILTON.

GOOD MORNING,
MRS. BLAIR.

GOOD MORNING, JUDSY.

GOOD MORNING.

TAKE CARE OF THESE,
WILL YOU?

I'M OVERDRAWN.

WHAT IS THIS?

I JUST TOLD YOU, JUDSY.
I'M OVERDRAWN.

WHY SHOULD YOU NEED
TWO NEW SEDANS?

ONLY ONE.

IT SAYS TWO HERE.

THERE'S ONLY ONE, DEAR.
THE OTHER'S A ROADSTER.

WHAT IS THIS
$400 FOR JOE?

OH, THAT'S OK.
HE'S A BOOKIE.

DON'T QUESTION IT.
I LOST, ALL RIGHT.

$2,000?

WHO TOLD YOU YOU COULD
SPEND $2,000 FOR A RING?

WHY, I THOUGHT YOU'D LIKE
TO GIVE ME A NEW DINNER RING.

I WAS SIMPLY AWFULLY
UNHAPPY WITHOUT IT.

YOU WEREN'T AWFULLY
UNHAPPY ABOUT IT

WHEN I MARRIED YOU
OUT OF MAXIE'S NIGHTCLUB.

JUST BECAUSE JEFF SHERMAN GOT YOU MAD,

YOU NEEDN'T
TAKE IT OUT ON ME.

YEAH, BUT 2,000-

YOU'VE GOT
PLENTY OF RINGS.

ADELE, GIVE ME
THAT RING.

WHAT FOR?

SO I CAN RETURN IT.

IT'S GOING BACK
THIS MORNING.

COME ON,
HAND IT OVER.

DON'T BE RIDICULOUS.

ADELE, GIVE ME
THAT RING.

YOU'RE ACTING
LIKE A CHILD.

HOLD OUT YOUR HAND.

I'LL DO NOTHING
OF THE KIND.

YOU SIT DOWN THERE
AND EAT YOUR FIGS.

THIS IS THE END OF
YOUR CHORUS-GIRL SPREE.

I SAID, GIVE ME THAT
RING. IT'S GOING BACK!

I'LL DO NOTHING
OF THE KIND!

IT'S GOING BACK, OR
I'LL KNOW THE REASON WHY!

DON'T TOUCH ME!

STOP THAT SILLY
WALKING AROUND!

I DON'T EVEN INTEND TO TALK
TO YOU WHEN YOU ACT LIKE THIS.

ADELE, GIVE-
COME BACK HERE!

ADELE, COME BACK!

I CAN'T GET
MR. SHERMAN, SIR.

THAT RING'S
GOING BACK,

EVEN IF I HAVE TO TAKE
YOUR HAND WITH IT.

IT'S MINE, AND I'M GOING TO KEEP IT.

NO, YOU'RE NOT.
LET GO OF IT!

YOU BIG SILLY, I'D LIKE
TO SEE YOU TAKE IT BACK.

I'D LIKE TO
TAKE YOU BACK.

LOOK OUT!

I'LL SEE YOU IN COURT!

YOU BET YOU WILL!

OBJECTION.

THIS IS QUITE
IMMATERIAL.

YES. IT IS, OF COURSE, GENERALLY TRUE

THAT FACTS OCCURRING
PRIOR TO THE MARRIAGE

WOULD NOT BE MATERIAL TO THE
ISSUES OF THE DIVORCE ACTION,

BUT I'LL ADMIT THE EVIDENCE,
FOR WHATEVER IT'S WORTH,

SUBJECT TO A MOTION
TO STRIKE LATER.

NOW, MRS. BLAIR,

ISN'T IT A FACT THAT
MR. BLAIR PROMISED YOU

AN ALLOWANCE OF
AT LEAST $6,000?

I DID NOT! I DIDN'T PROMISE
THAT OR ANYTHING ELSE!

MR. BLAIR, THE COURT WARNS YOU
ON THESE INTERRUPTIONS.

THE COURT AND COUNSEL
WILL CONDUCT THE TRIAL.

YEAH, AND I'LL PAY
ALL THE BILLS.

I REMIND YOU THAT IN THIS COURTROOM,
YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO INTERRUPT,

NOR TO ANTICIPATE UNFAIRNESS
OR CLAIM SPECIAL PRIVILEGES,

NO MATTER WHAT
YOUR STANDING OR POWERS

AS A BUSINESS EXECUTIVE MAY BE
OUTSIDE THIS COURTROOM.

CONTINUE WITH YOUR QUESTIONING, COUNSEL.

THANK YOU,
YOUR HONOR.

NOW, MRS. BLAIR,

WILL YOU TELL THE COURT
IN YOUR OWN WORDS

HOW THIS MAN PROMISED YOU
LUXURY ALL THE REST OF YOUR LIFE

IF YOU WOULD
CUT YOURSELF OFF

FROM YOUR FRIENDS
AND YOUR CAREER,

HOW HE NEGLECTED YOU
AND MISTREATED YOU,

AND HOW, DESPITE
A HUGE INCOME,

HE WAS NIGGARDLY
AND MEAN?

IS COUNSEL ASKING A QUESTION
OR WRITING A BIOGRAPHY?

THERE'S BEEN NO GROUNDWORK LAID
FOR THAT QUESTION.

YES, WE OBJECT, YOUR
HONOR. NO GROUNDWORK LAID.

SUSTAINED.

MRS. BLAIR, HOW LONG
HAD THIS MAN KNOWN YOU

WHEN HE PERSUADED YOU TO RELINQUISH
YOUR CAREER AND MARRY HIM?

3 WEEKS.

WHY, YOUR HONOR, YOU
KNOW YOURSELF AS A WO-

WILL THE WITNESS CONFINE HER
REMARKS TO ANSWERING COUNSEL?

OH, I'M SORRY, JUDGE, BUT YOU
KNOW, HE JUST HOUNDED ME INTO IT.

THERE WERE TWO
REALLY NICE YOUNG MEN

I COULD HAVE MARRIED
AND BEEN HAPPY WITH.

A WRESTLER
AND A RACETRACK TOUT.

MR. BLAIR, ONCE MORE
THE COURT WARNS YOU.

YOU'RE INVITING
CONTEMPT ACTION.

UH, MRS. BLAIR,

I SHOW YOU
THIS LETTER

AND ASK IF
IT'S THE SAME-

IT CERTAINLY IS.

IS THIS THE LETTER THE DEFENDANT
WROTE TO YOU JUNE 18 LAST?

I JUST SAID IT WAS.

YES. WELL, DID THE
DEFENDANT PROMISE THEREIN

THAT IF YOU
WOULD MARRY HIM,

HE WOULD DEED YOU
HIS COUNTRY ESTATE?

HE MOST CERTAINLY
DID PROMISE ME.

EXACTLY. AND NOW WILL YOU
PLEASE READ THE LETTER?

"DARLING ADELE BABY,

THIS IS TO TELL YOU HOW MUCH
YOUR CUDDLE BABY MISSES YOU."

THAT'S WHAT HE LIKED ME TO CALL HIM-

CUDDLE BABY.

"I WANT YOU TO PROMISE ME YOU
WILL SPEND MORE TIME WITH ME

AND WILL CEASE LETTING
YOUR FAMILY INTRUDE."

YOUR HONOR, HE MADE ME STOP
SEEING MY ENTIRE FAMILY.

HE DIDN'T LIKE THEM.

HE SAID THEY HAD LOW
I.Q.s AND WERE SPONGERS.

THEY WERE, TOO, AND A
BUNCH OF DRUNKS BESIDES.

THIS, MR. BLAIR,
IS A FINAL WARNING.

THE COURT WILL BE COMPELLED TO TAKE OTHER
MEANS IF YOU CAN'T RESTRAIN YOURSELF.

HA HA! CAN YOU IMAGINE
LETTING A FOOL WOMAN BE JUDGE?

WERE YOU ADDRESSING
THE COURT, MR. BLAIR?

WHO, ME? OH, NO.

JUST A DIRECTION
TO ME, YOUR HONOR.

PLEASE BE
CAREFUL, J.M.

NOW, WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF
THIS LINE OF TESTIMONY, COUNSEL?

IF YOUR HONOR PLEASE, IT IS TO
SUPPORT OUR JUST CLAIM FOR ALIMONY.

WE PROPOSE TO PROVE THAT THE
DEFENDANT PROMISED HIS WIFE

DEFINITE PROPERTY
AND MONEYS

TO INDUCE HER
TO WED HIM,

AND THAT HE FAILED TO
KEEP THESE PROMISES.

MOVE TO STRIKE THIS LINE OF TESTIMONY.

MOTION GRANTED.

THIS IS NOT A BREACH
OF CONTRACT ACTION,

AND COUNSEL SHOULD KNOW BETTER
THAN TO ATTEMPT TO MAKE IT ONE.

NOW YOU'RE TALKING SENSE FOR A CHANGE.

PLEASE, J.M.,
PLEASE.

MR. BLAIR, YOU'RE FINED $100 FOR THAT
CRUMB OF PRAISE FOR THE COURT'S ACUMEN.

$100? FOR WHAT?

HAVEN'T WE FREE SPEECH
IN THIS COUNTRY ANYMORE?

$200, MR. BLAIR,
OR 10 DAYS.

WOULD YOU CARE TO DELAY
THE TRIAL ANY LONGER?

$200? I WON'T PAY IT.
IT'S ILLEGAL!

$300, MR. BLAIR,
OR 20 DAYS.

WOULD YOU CARE TO CONTINUE?

DID YOU SAY SOMETHING,
MR. BLAIR?

THE JUDGE IS
MY SISTER.

DECREE OF DIVORCE GRANTED
TO ADELE BLAIR.

THE COURT RECOGNIZES THE FACT THAT
THE DEFENDANT ACCUSTOMED HIS WIFE

TO A LEVEL OF LIVING
IN KEEPING WITH HIS INCOME.

FOR THESE AND OTHER REASONS
SET FORTH HEREIN,

THE COURT ORDERS THE PAYMENT
BY JUDSON BLAIR

OF $4,000 A MONTH SUPPORT
AND MAINTENANCE FOR 5 YEARS...

AT WHICH TIME APPLICATION FOR
MODIFICATION WILL BE CONSIDERED.

IN THE EVENT OF
THE PLAINTIFF'S REMARRIAGE,

PAYMENTS WILL CEASE.

APPEAL IT,
I TELL YOU!

Lawyer: IT WOULD TAKE SEVERAL
YEARS BEFORE IT CAME UP,

AND THE APPELLATE COURTS
USUALLY SUSTAIN ALIMONY ORDERS.

WELL, TAKE IT UP BEFORE
ANOTHER JUDGE HERE, THEN.

ONLY THE JUDGE WHO MAKES THE
ORIGINAL ALIMONY ORDER CAN MODIFY IT.

OUR ONLY HOPE WOULD BE HER
REMOVAL FROM DEPARTMENT 6.

WELL, DO IT.

SHE'S JUST BEEN REELECTED
FOR A 6-YEAR TERM.

I'M AFRAID
WE HAVE NO CHOICE.

DO YOU REALIZE THAT WITH
THE INCOME TAX THE WAY IT IS,

I'VE GOT TO EARN AN EXTRA
$18,000 A MONTH TO PAY HER THAT 4?

YES,
WE REALIZE THAT.

AND YOUR ADVICE TO ME IS
SWALLOW IT AND LIKE IT, EH?

WELL, I WON'T DO IT.

BEFORE I LET THAT
BLONDE BURGLAR ROB ME, I'LL-

WHAT'S THE MATTER?

QUIET OUT HERE. HER HONOR'S IN CHAMBERS.

I WISH HER HONOR
WERE IN HADES!

YOU TELL THAT FEMALE
SOLOMON FOR ME

THAT THERE ARE STILL SOME
RIGHTS LEFT IN THIS COUNTRY.

I'LL TELL
HER HONOR.

DON'T DO THAT
TO ME!

IT WAS THAT BLAIR, YOUR HONOR.
HE SAID TO TELL YOU-

THANK YOU, BRANT.
I HEARD HIM.

I CAN'T SAY I BLAME HIM, CORNELIA.

AFTER ALL,
THE POOR MAN-

NOW, JANEY, DEAR,
I'LL DISCUSS ANYTHING

IN THE WORLD WITH YOU
EXCEPT A CASE.

WELL, I DON'T SEE WHY YOUR OWN SISTER-

IF I WERE A
PERFECT STRANGER-

I'M IN MUCH TOO GOOD A MOOD
TO ARGUE WITH YOU TODAY.

I ONLY WISH I WERE GOING AWAY
FOR A YEAR INSTEAD OF TWO MONTHS.

OH, BOSH. YOU DON'T LIKE VACATIONS.

YOU'D EAT LAW BRIEFS WITH CREAM

FOR BREAKFAST
IF YOU COULD.

IS WALTER
COMING UP?

OH, JUDGE, I JUST HAD TO COME IN
AND THANK YOU. YOU WERE TERRIFIC.

THE WAY YOU TOLD MY EX
WHERE TO GET OFF, WHY, I-

WHAT'S THE MATTER?

THOSE ROSES!

Janey: OH, GET THOSE OUT OF HERE!

SHE'S ALLERGIC
TO ROSES.

THEY GIVE HER
HAY FEVER.

OH, JUDGE,
I'M SO SORRY.

AFTER THE WAY YOU FIXED UP MY ALIMONY-

I DON'T DISCUSS CASES
WITH LITIGANTS.

OK, JUDGE. I JUST
WANTED TO KNOW-

I SAID
I DON'T DISCUSS-

AHCHOO!

CASES.

IF YOU'RE NOT OUT OF
HERE IN TWO SECONDS,

I'LL REOPEN THE CASE
AND FIND YOU IN CONTEMPT.

HUMPH!

WHY, YOU'RE NOT A WOMAN.
YOU'RE A HUMAN LAW BOOK.

IF I WERE A JUDGE, I'D ISSUE A
WRIT OF CORPUS DELICTUS OR SOMETHING

AND PUT HER RIGHT
WHERE SHE BELONGS.

CORPUS DELICTUS, DARLING,
REFERS TO A BODY WHICH IS DEAD.

IN HER CASE, I THINK THE
DESCRIPTION IS INACCURATE.

Woman: OH,
MR. BLAIR?

DETROIT AND MIAMI
PAPERS BOTH CALLED AGAIN.

HERE'S ALL WE HAVE.

YOU CALL THESE
NEWS PICTURES?

WHEN YOU FOUND OUT ABOUT
THE MINE TROUBLE,

WHY DIDN'T YOU SEND
SOMEBODY DOWN THERE?

YOU MIGHT HAVE KNOWN
THEY'D HAVE A CAVE-IN.

NOBODY ELSE HAD-

OH, ALIBIS. DON'T
AGGRAVATE ME WITH EXCUSES.

CUT EVERYBODY 10%.

OVERHEAD HAS GOT TO COME
DOWN TO MEET NEW EXPENSES.

NOW, WHAT DO YOU SUPPOSE
NEW EXPENSES COULD BE?

SHERMAN, THIS ORGANIZATION'S HAD ABOUT AS
MUCH AS IT CAN TOLERATE OF YOUR DISRESPECT.

WELL, WELL, WELL.

HIYA, THELMA.

TAKEN OFF A LITTLE AROUND
THE HIPS THERE, HAVEN'T YOU?

LISTEN, GARGANTUA, YOU'D
BETTER CUT OUT THE WISECRACKS.

J.M.'S PLENTY SORE THIS TIME, AND
HE DOESN'T WANT TO SEE ANYBODY.

WELL, THIS WON'T
TAKE LONG.

HELLO, J.M.

GET OUT OF HERE,
YOU HIGHBINDER.

GLADLY, JUST AS SOON
AS YOU PAY ME.

AND NOT THAT YOU
STILL DON'T NEED ME.

I NEED YOU LIKE I NEED TYPHOID MARY.

NOW THAT YOU MENTION IT, YOU WOULD
MAKE RATHER A NICE COUPLE AT THAT.

YES?

Thelma: MRS. BLAIR
CALLING ON EXTENSION ONE.

I CAN'T TALK TO ANYBODY.
I'M IN A CONFERENCE.

AND, THELMA,
GET ME JUDGE GRAHAM,

THE PRESIDING JUDGE
OF THE SUPERIOR COURT.

TELL HIM IT'S IMPORTANT.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN,
PAY YOU?

I FIRED YOU!

YEAH, BUT YOU STILL OWE ME
AN EXPENSE ACCOUNT.

IT'S NOT BAD THIS TIME.

WHY SO UNHAPPY?

OH, IF YOU'D BEEN THROUGH
ALL I'VE JUST BEEN THROUGH,

YOU WOULDN'T ASK
SO MANY FOOL QUESTIONS.

AND YOU'RE
THE CAUSE OF IT-

THE CAUSE OF
ALL MY MISERY.

ME, J.M.?

WELL, IT WASN'T YOUR
AUNT ELSIE THAT DRAGGED ME

INTO THAT NIGHTCLUB AND
INTRODUCED ME TO ADELE.

IT WASN'T YOUR AUNT ELSIE,
EITHER, THAT KEPT TELLING ME

WHAT A SWEET, LOVELY,
WHOLESOME GIRL SHE WAS.

NO. I'LL ADMIT
THAT WAS A MISTAKE.

YOU'RE NOTHING BUT
AN INSOLENT, GOUGING...

AND AS UNSCRUPULOUS AS-

AS YOU ARE,
ONLY IN A SMALLER WAY.

WHY TAKE IT OUT ON ME BECAUSE
YOU GOT STUNG IN COURT?

WELL, I HATE TO BE
MADE A SUCKER OF.

WELL, NOW, LET'S SEE.

4,000 A MONTH-
THAT'S 48,000 A YEAR.

48,000 A YEAR
FOR 5 YEARS...

240,000 IS
THE GRAND TOTAL, J.M.

YOU KNOW,
I DON'T LIKE THAT WOMAN.

NOW, YOU WERE MARRIED
TO ADELE FOR 3 MONTHS.

THAT'S 90 DAYS,
SO 90 AT 240,000...

OH, WELL, THAT FIGURES
OUT TO 2,667 BUCKS A DAY.

AND FINING ME
$300 BESIDES.

IT'S NO BARGAIN, AND IT MIGHT
GO ON AFTER 5 YEARS AT THAT.

YOU DON'T THINK I'M GOING TO
LET HER GET AWAY WITH IT, DO YOU?

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO,
COMMIT SUICIDE?

NO, I'M NOT GOING TO
COMMIT SUICIDE.

YES?

Thelma:
I HAVE JUDGE GRAHAM.

OH, PUT HIM ON.
PUT HIM ON.

WATCH ME PUT
THE FIX ON THIS.

HELLO?

JUDGE GRAHAM?

I WAS GOING TO ASK A LITTLE
FAVOR OF YOU AS PRESIDING JUDGE.

WHAT DO YOU WANT,
MR. BLAIR?

TRANSFER JUDGE PORTER?!

OH, JUST FOR
A SHORT TIME.

TRANSFER HER OUT OF DEPARTMENT
6 INTO ANOTHER COURT-

SAY THE PROBATE OR CRIMINAL DEPARTMENT.

NOW, JUST A MINUTE,
MR. BLAIR.

FOR YOUR INFORMATION, JUDGE PORTER'S
A WOMAN OF ABSOLUTE INTEGRITY.

I HAVEN'T THE SLIGHTEST REASON
TO TRANSFER HER.

THERE'S NEVER EVEN BEEN A HINT OF
FAVORITISM OR SCANDAL IN HER COURT.

HER RECORD IS IMPECCABLE.

SHE'S A FINE WOMAN
AND A BRILLIANT YOUNG JURIST.

I'M GOING TO FORGET YOU CALLED
THIS TIME, MR. BLAIR,

BUT IF YOU EVER HAVE THE EFFRONTERY TO
EVEN MENTION SUCH A THING TO ME AGAIN,

YOU'RE GOING TO FIND YOURSELF
IN SOME REAL TROUBLE!

YOU CERTAINLY PUT
THE FIX ON THAT.

I'M HOOKED. HOOKED!

AS HELPLESS AS A GOOSE ON A
SPIT ROASTING OVER A SLOW FIRE.

NO, YOU'RE NOT. THAT'S
EASY TO GET OUT OF. EASY.

HOW?

OH, JEFFREY DOESN'T
WORK HERE ANYMORE.

NOW, NOW, NOW,
WAIT A MINUTE, JEFF.

YOU KNOW, THERE ARE MANY THINGS SAID
IN HASTE THAT AREN'T REALLY MEANT.

HOW CAN I GET OUT OF THIS
ALIMONY? I'M UNHAPPY ABOUT IT.

YEAH, BUT I'M
UNHAPPY, TOO,

AND I COULDN'T TELL YOU UNLESS
I WERE HAPPY, NOW, COULD I?

WE'VE BEEN TOGETHER
ALL THESE YEARS.

WE'VE TRAVELED TOGETHER, WE'VE FOUGHT
EACH OTHER, WE GOT DRUNK TOGETHER.

WHY, JEFF,
WE'VE BEEN BUDDIES.

COME ON, TELL ME
AS A PAL.

WELL, THEN,
AS A PAL, J.M.,

I WANT THE TOP SPOT IN
THE WASHINGTON OFFICE,

A BONUS, DOUBLE MY
SALARY, A 5-YEAR CONTRACT,

AN UNLIMITED EXPENSE ACCOUNT
WITH A WRITTEN OK IN ADVANCE.

SHERMAN...

YES, J.M.?

GET OUT OF MY OFFICE BEFORE
I THROW YOU OUT BODILY.

OK, PAL.
HAVE IT YOUR OWN WAY...

BUT THINK OF ME EVERY TIME
YOU WRITE THAT ALIMONY CHECK.

GOOD-BYE, CUDDLE BABY.

HELLO.

HELLO, MR. SHERMAN.

THERE'LL BE A CALL FOR
ME FROM OLD MAN BLAIR.

TELL HIM I CAN'T TALK
TO HIM ON THE PHONE.

HE'LL HAVE TO COME OVER, AND
I'LL ONLY BE IN TILL 3:00.

YES, SIR.

HELLO?

WELL, MR. SHERMAN
CAN'T SPEAK TO YOU, SIR.

HE SAYS YOU MAY
COME OVER IF YOU WISH.

HE'LL ONLY BE HERE
UNTIL 3:00.

I'LL SEE HIM IN HADES,
BUT NOT IN HIS HOTEL!

HE IS NOT COMING, SIR.
HE WAS QUITE DEFINITE.

THAT'S FINE. NOW, WHEN HE CALLS BACK,

TELL HIM I'LL ONLY BE HERE TILL 2:00.

YES, SIR.

THAT'S MY FINAL OFFER,
SHERMAN.

IT'S TOO BAD
WE CAN'T GET TOGETHER.

WELL, GOOD-BYE.

SORRY, J.M. THAT'S THE
WAY I FEEL ABOUT IT.

AND YOU DO WANT ME
TO BE HAPPY, I KNOW.

AW, JEFF!

AFTER ALL THE YEARS
WE'VE BEEN TOGETHER,

YOU WANT
A WRITTEN CONTRACT.

YOU DON'T
TRUST ME, HUH?

WHY, YOU OUGHT TO BE
ASHAMED OF YOURSELF.

OK, I'M ASHAMED OF MYSELF. HAND ME
THAT BACK BRUSH DOWN THERE, WILL YOU?

DRAW IT UP, SIGN IT, AND HAVE IT
OVER HERE TONIGHT, AND I'LL GET GOING.

YES, BUT YOU'LL HAVE TO FORGET
ABOUT THAT WASHINGTON JOB.

WHAT?

I SAID, YOU CAN'T HAVE
THE SPOT IN WASHINGTON.

I CAN'T HEAR A WORD
YOU'RE SAYING!

I SAID,
YOU CAN'T HAVE-

I CAN'T HEAR A WORD!

ALL RIGHT, YOU GET
THE WASHINGTON JOB!

I GUESS WE'RE AGREED
ON EVERYTHING, AREN'T WE?

ALL BUT THAT BONUS. THAT'S
GOT TO COME DOWN TO $1,000.

CAN'T HEAR A WORD
YOU'RE SAYING!

I SAY THE BONUS
HAS GOT TO COME DOWN.

I CAN'T HEAR
A WORD!

ALL RIGHT,
YOU GET THE BONUS!

I LIKE THE WAY
WE DO BUSINESS.

NO FIGHTS,
NO DISAGREEMENTS.

HAND ME THAT BOTTLE OF
SHAMPOO AND QUIT WORRYING.

I'M NOT WORRYING, BUT HOW
CAN YOU BE SURE YOU CAN DO IT?

SHE'S A WOMAN,
ISN'T SHE?

AND AN INTELLIGENT ONE-NOT
THE KIND YOU'RE USED TO.

IS THAT SO?

AND EXCEEDINGLY
SMART, TOO.

SHE'S A WOMAN, THOUGH.
EVERY MAN HAS HIS PRICE,

AND EVERY WOMAN HAS
HER ACHILLES HEEL.

ALL YOU'VE GOT TO DO IS
FIND THAT VULNERABLE SPOT.

THIS MISS ACHILLES
MAY NOT HAVE A HEEL.

SHE'S GOING TO
GET ONE, THEN.

A HEEL?
A HEEL.

SHE'S WAITING, SIR.

THANK YOU,
SIR.

BYE-BYE,
CUTIE PIE.

GOOD-BYE-EE.

HELLO-EE, DOTTY-EE.

OH, IT'S YOU.

WAIT A MINUTE. YOU'RE NOT
GOING TO BE LIKE THAT, ARE YOU,

NOT TO ME?

I CERTAINLY AM, DISAPPEARING
LIKE THAT. WHERE WERE YOU?

WELL, YOU SEE,
I HAD TO MAKE A LITTLE TRIP.

A FRIEND OF MINE WANTED ME TO HELP
HIM NAME A COUPLE OF PULLMAN CARS.

I CALLED ONE OF THEM
AFTER YOU.

LISTEN, I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS
YOU WANT, BUT THE ANSWER IS NO.

YOU WOULDN'T BE MAD AT ME
IF YOU DIDN'T STILL LIKE ME.

PSYCHOLOGY.

HOOEY. SO I STILL LIKE YOU. NOW GO AWAY.

DOTTY, HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO TAKE
OUT A MARRIAGE LICENSE WITH ME?

BABY!

NOW, WAIT A MINUTE. I DIDN'T
SAY ANYTHING ABOUT USING IT.

THIS IS PURE BUSINESS.

I MIGHT HAVE KNOWN.

LOOK, I'VE GOT
AN OFFER TO MAKE.

AND BECAUSE I LIKE YOU BETTER
THAN ANY GIRL IN THE WORLD,

I'VE COME
TO YOU FIRST.

WHAT IS IT THIS TIME?

NOW, IN A COUPLE
OF MONTHS,

YOU'RE GOING TO SUE A CERTAIN
LADY FOR ALIENATION OF AFFECTION.

SCANDAL RUINED YOUR LIFE. CLAIM
SHE STOLE YOUR LOVING FIANCE.

THAT'S YOU, HUH?

THAT'S ME, ALL RIGHT.

WHAT FOR?

UH, WELL,
IT'S SORT OF A GAG.

SHE'S IN POLITICS, AND SHE'S
BEEN CRACKING DOWN ON PEOPLE.

SO THIS MAKES HER NAME MUD
BECAUSE PEOPLE LAUGH AT HER, HUH?

YEAH. JUST THE LEAST
LITTLE WEE BIT OF SCANDAL,

AND FOR NO WORK AT ALL, YOU GET
500 FISH CASH, JUST LIKE THAT.

ARE YOU CONNING ME?

BABY, YOU'RE GOING TO
GET THE MONEY TOMORROW.

BUT HOW AM I GOING TO GET WITNESSES
TO TESTIFY THAT YOU AND I ARE REALLY-

IT'S ALL DONE WITH
MIRRORS AND WIRES.

DON'T YOU WORRY YOUR
PRETTY HEAD ABOUT IT.

DOTTY!

IF YOU'RE NOT
TOO BUSY-

I'M JUST GOING TO GO
OUT AND GET WITNESSES-

LUNCH. OH, LUNCH. JUST LUNCH.

YEAH, JUST LUNCH.
GOOD-BYE, MR. WALTON.

SHE'LL BE
RIGHT BACK SHORTLY.

IN TWO MONTHS.

AUGUST 20 IS THE DATE WE'VE PICKED.

HAVEN'T WE,
DARLING?

YES, SWEETHEART.

I'M SO IN LOVE
WITH HER.

AND I'M SO
IN LOVE WITH HIM.

I'M CERTAIN OF THAT. I'LL HOLD
THAT DATE FOR YOUR WEDDING.

UH, YOU'LL BE SURE TO
REMEMBER US, WON'T YOU?

OH, YES, YES.
YES, INDEED.

GRADUATED FROM CROSBY HIGH
SCHOOL. THINK OF THAT, J.M.

ATTENDED BERKELEY COLLEGE.
I WAS THERE ONCE.

THEY'VE GOT A NICE
CAMPUS AT BERKELEY.

OH, WHO CARES WHERE
SHE WENT TO COLLEGE?

NOW, IF IT WERE ME, I'D
BEGIN BY BUMPING INTO HER

WHEN SHE WAS OUT
DANCING SOME NIGHT.

YEAH? WELL, UP WHERE SHE'S GOING,
PAL, THERE AIN'T NO NIGHTCLUBS.

GOING?
WHERE IS SHE GOING?

WE ARE GOING TO CAPE COD. CAPE COD?

YEAH, CAPE COD
- BEACHES, BOATS, THEATERS IN A BARN,

ARTISTS' COLONIES.

OH, HO HO!

I FOUND A SKELETON
IN HER CLOSET.

NO.
YEAH.

NOW YOU'RE TALKING.
IS IT A BAD ONE?

MMM. HO HO!

WELL, COME ON.
WHAT IS IT?

SHE SCULPTS.

SHE WHAT?

SCULPTS. YOU KNOW, MAKES
WITH THOSE MARBLE THINGS.

OH, I SEE.
AND I SUPPOSE

YOU'RE GOING TO POSE FOR
HER OR SOMETHING, HUH?

NOW, LOOK,
YOU CAN'T DO-

YOU'LL HAVE TO LEAVE
THE DETAILS TO ME.

ALL RIGHT, BUT I WANT
IT DONE ECONOMICALLY.

YES?

Thelma: DOTTY IS HERE
TO SEE MR. SHERMAN.

DOTTY? DOTTY WHO?

I KNOW WHO IT IS.
I'LL SEE HER.

IS THIS THE GIRL YOU HIRED FOR THE JOB?

EVERYTHING'S
GOING TO BE OK.

WHEN YOU START
TALKING TO HER-

DON'T YOU WORRY
ABOUT A THING.

DON'T DO THAT
TO ME!

THELMA, J.M. WANTS
TO SEE YOU.

HELLO, DOTTY.
HELLO, JEFF.

SAY, YOU LOOK
AWFUL SHARP THERE.

THAT'S A
GOOD-LOOKING OUTFIT.

UH...

YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE
COME UP HERE.

BUT I HAD TO.

WHY?
WHAT'S THE MATTER?

I'M FIRED,
THAT'S WHAT.

THAT TWERP
IN THE BARBERSHOP

SAW THE MARRIAGE APPLICATION
IN THE PAPER, AND HE FIRED ME.

I DON'T THINK
IT'S VERY FAIR.

BUT YOU'LL BE TAKEN CARE OF, ALL RIGHT.

LOOK, IF I'M GOING TO BE THE
FALL GUY IN THIS LITTLE HAYRIDE,

I OUGHT TO HAVE
A BETTER DEAL.

SHERMAN?

YEAH?
NOW, LOOK, JEFF-

J.M. WILL TAKE CARE OF EVERYTHING.

WHAT WILL I TAKE CARE OF?

I'LL BE RIGHT IN. JUST A HALF A MINUTE.

DON'T YOU WORRY YOUR
PRETTY HEAD ABOUT A THING.

I DON'T KNOW
WHAT YOUR SLICE IS,

BUT I'LL CALL IT SQUARE
AT 5 GRAND.

5-5 GRAND, EH?

AFTER ALL, I'M THE ONE THAT'S GOING
TO BE FILING THAT SUIT, NOT YOU.

SURE YOU ARE.
OK, BABY.

THERE'S THE BOSS.

I'LL SEE THAT J.M. TAKES
CARE OF YOU, ALL RIGHT.

GOOD-BYE-EE.
GOOD-BYE-EE.

THAT'S ALL,
THELMA.

NOW, THAT IS
REALLY BRIGHT-

TELLING A GIRL LIKE
THAT THAT I'M IN ON THIS.

DON'T GET UPSET.
EVERYTHING'S UNDER CONTROL.

WHAT DID SHE WANT?

NOTHING IMPORTANT
- JUST A LITTLE MONEY, THAT'S ALL.

YOU SEE THAT
IT IS A LITTLE!

LISTEN, PAL, EX-WIFEY'S GOT YOU
RIGHT BY THE SEAT OF THE PANTS.

NOW, DO YOU WANT OUT,
OR DON'T YOU?

I WANT OUT.

OK, CUDDLE BABY, OUT IS
WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO GET.

BUT KEEP
THE COST DOWN!

CAR 602.

TAKE CARE OF
THAT CAMERA, NOW.

WELL, IF YOU'RE NOT INTERESTED
IN YOUR OWN BRAINCHILD...

OH, WALTER, DON'T BE
STUBBORN ABOUT IT.

OF COURSE I'M INTERESTED
IN FINISHING THE BOOK.

YOU'LL NEVER CHANGE
HER MIND ANYWAY, WALTER.

FREDDIE, DON'T
SKIP LIKE THAT.

ALL I'M ASKING,
CORNELIA,

IS THAT WE DICTATE THE REVISIONS
ON THE LAST CHAPTERS UP THERE

AND GET THEM
OUT OF THE WAY.

WELL, WHAT CAN
I DO FOR YOU?

I WANT TO GET SOMETHING TO
AMUSE A LITTLE BOY ON THE TRAIN.

YES, INDEED.

SOMETHING FOR
A LITTLE BOY, HUH?

WHAT AGE?

OH, ABOUT SO HIGH.

8.

YES, SIR.
RIGHT HERE.

EVERYTHING TO MAKE HIM HAPPY
AND RUIN YOUR TRIP.

TAKE YOUR CHOICE, SIR.

YOU'VE BEEN HERE A LONG
TIME. YOU SUGGEST SOMETHING.

CHLOROFORM.

EITHER THAT OR A GOOD
SLAP IN THE KISSER.

WELL, IF YOU'VE DECIDED
TO ABANDON ME AND THE BOOK,

I GUESS THERE'S NOTHING WE CAN DO
ABOUT IT BUT SUFFER AND LIKE IT.

NOW CHEER UP. YOU'LL MAKE
ME FEEL SORRY FOR YOU.

AS A SPECIAL CONCESSION,
I'LL QUIT SCULPTING,

AND WE'LL WORK TOGETHER
ON THE BOOK THIS WEEKEND.

ALL ABOARD!

IT'S NICE TO KNOW YOU CAN
CHANGE YOUR MIND AFTER ALL.

OR IS THIS A BAD TIME
TO PROPOSE AGAIN?

OH, IT ALWAYS
HAS BEEN.

GOOD-BYE.
GOOD-BYE, WALTER.

Conductor:
ALL ABOARD!

Sherman: GANGWAY THERE!

Walter: HERE YOU ARE.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

HEY, YOU'RE BEING
FOLLOWED!

Janey: SURE YOU WON'T HAVE A CUP OF TEA?

Cornelia:
NO, THANKS, DEAR.

CAN I BRING YOU
SOMETHING BACK?

NOT A THING.

FREDDIE!

YOU WANT TO COME
ALONG WITH ME?

NO. I'M GOING TO GO GET A CUP OF WATER.

ALL RIGHT.

DO YOU WANT A DRINK,
AUNT CORNELIA?

Cornelia:
NO, DEAR. NO.

"THE MOST IMPORTANT
SCULPTOR POINT

IS THE BASE FIGURE HORIZONTAL
ACROSS THE SHOULDER LINE."

THE MOST IMPORTANT SCULPTOR
POINT IS THE BASE...

HELLO THERE.

I THINK I'VE GOT SOMETHING
HERE THAT YOU'D LIKE TO SEE.

WHAT DO YOU THINK
OF THAT, HUH?

NOT FOR ME.

NOT FOR YOU, EH?

WELL, THEN,
HOW ABOUT THIS?

PRETTY GOOD.

LOOK, TELL YOU
WHAT WE DO.

LET'S PACK THIS WHOLE BUSINESS
AND GET IT BACK TO YOUR SEAT.

SORRY I KEPT HIM
AWAY SO LONG.

THAT'S QUITE
ALL RIGHT.

WE ALMOST HAD A LITTLE
TROUBLE WITH THAT PISTOL,

BUT WE FINALLY
MADE IT.

LOOK!

IT SHOOTS!

FREDDIE!

HA HA HA HA!

I'M SORRY.

I HAVE ONE OF MY OWN.

I'M SO VERY SORRY.

THAT'S QUITE ALL RIGHT.

SAY THANK YOU TO THE GENTLEMAN, FREDDIE.

THANK YOU.
LET'S YOU AND I-

JUST THANK YOU.

OH, I LOVE DOING
THINGS FOR KIDS.

SOMETHING ABOUT THEM
YOU CAN'T RESIST.

Man: CANDY, MAGAZINES,
SOFT DRINKS.

MIND IF FREDDIE AND I
SHARE A COLD DRINK?

I'M AFRAID HE ISN'T ALLOWED
TO HAVE ANYTHING BETWEEN MEALS.

OH, SURE. YOU DO HAVE TO
WATCH THEIR DIETS, DON'T YOU?

YES, YOU DO.

YEAH, MAKES
A DIFFERENCE.

GET THE RIGHT FOOD, AND
THEIR BONES GROW RIGHT.

I PROBABLY NOTICE THAT
MORE THAN OTHER PEOPLE.

A SCULPTOR DOES,
I GUESS.

I'M DOING IT ALL THE TIME, YOU KNOW.

YOU GET TO LOOKING
FOR THE, UH...

FOR THE BASE FIGURE HORIZONTAL
ACROSS THE SHOULDER LINE.

YOU KNOW, THE
ESTABLISHING POINT.

OH, DO YOU?

YEAH. WONDERFUL COUNTRY
UP THROUGH HERE, ISN'T IT?

THAT SCENERY
MAGNIFICENT.

REMINDS ME OF HONDURAS.
LOOK AT THAT VIEW.

WONDERFUL.

I SAID, THE VIEW. DIDN'T
WANT YOU TO MISS IT.

IT'S MAGNIFICENT.

MAGNIFICENT.

OF COURSE, THAT'S
THE WAY IT IS WITH

VIEWS FROM A TRAIN-
GONE IN A FLASH.

BEAUTIFUL SCENE, AND THEN
THE BONEWORKS, LIKE LIFE.

LIKE SOME FORMS
OF LIFE.

YEAH.

YOU KNOW, TRAVEL'S
A WONDERFUL THING.

YOU SHOULD DO
MORE OF IT.

YEAH. A WHILE AGO,
I WAS DOWN IN TRINIDAD.

THEY'VE GOT SOMETHING DOWN
THERE I BET YOU NEVER HEARD OF.

IT'S CALLED
A TRAVELER'S-TREE,

AND ALL YOU'VE GOT TO DO
IS CUT A HOLE IN THE TRUNK,

AND YOU'VE GOT FRESH,
PURE DRINKING WATER.

AND BELIEVE IT OR NOT,
I'VE DONE IT. YES, SIR.

STRANGE PLACE,
THOUGH, TRINIDAD.

WEIRD FLOWERS
AND ANIMALS.

GREAT SPOT TO PAINT
AND THAT SORT OF THING.

SCULPT. NOT INTERESTED IN
ART BY ANY CHANCE, ARE YOU?

NO, AND I'M BEGINNING
TO ABHOR NATURE.

THANK YOU FOR BRINGING
MY NEPHEW BACK.

AHEM. WELL, I'VE ENJOYED
OUR LITTLE CHAT VERY MUCH.

MY NAME IS SHERMAN,
JEFF SHERMAN.

I SAID, MY NAME
IS SHERMAN.

YOUR NAME IS SHERMAN.

NOW I UNDERSTAND WHY THEY FEEL
THE WAY THEY DO DOWN IN GEORGIA.

WELL, I'LL BE
SEEING YOU.

HAS THE MAN GONE,
FREDDIE?

YES, AUNT CORNELIA.

WEREN'T YOU TOLD NEVER
TO TALK TO STRANGERS?

LOOK WHAT I MADE,
AUNT CORNELIA.

FREDDIE!

I- EXCUSE ME.

I WAS JUST WIPING OFF YOUR HEAD.

I LIKE TO TAKE CARE
OF THAT MYSELF, LADY,

IF YOU DON'T MIND.

CAN YOU SUGGEST ANYPLACE AT ALL NEARBY?

RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE
OF THE SEASON? NO, SIR.

THERE AIN'T A PLACE TO BE
RENTED FOR LOVE NOR MONEY.

MIGHT GET YOU A LODGING ROOM SOMEWHERE.

NO. I'VE GOT TO
HAVE A STUDIO.

YOU'RE OUT OF LUCK.

THANKS VERY MUCH.

Sherman: TAXI!

HEY, TAXI!

DON'T HAPPEN TO KNOW OF A GOOD
SCULPTOR WORKING AROUND HERE, DO YOU?

WELL, LET'S SEE.

NOPE.

NOPE, NOPE, NOPE.

LET'S SEE.

NOPE.

NO-YEP,
JUST THE MAN.

YEP, YEP, YEP.

YEP.

WANT ME TO WAIT FOR YOU?

NO, NOT FOR ME, BUT
YOU BETTER STICK AROUND.

THIS SCULPTOR FELLA
WILL BE RIGHT OUT.

YOU'RE WASTING
YOUR TIME.

HE DON'T WANT TO
RENT HIS STUDIO.

MONEY MAKES
THE SCULPTOR GO.

MONEY DON'T MEAN
NOTHING TO THIS GUY.

HE'S ONE OF THEM
ARTISTIC NUTS.

IT DOESN'T, EH? THERE'S MORE
THAN ONE WAY TO CRACK A NUT.

IT'S NO USE, MISTER.

HE DON'T WANT TO MOVE
OUT OF HIS PLACE.

I KNOW, BUT HE WILL.
BRING THE BAGS.

HMM.

VERY
INTERESTING.

YES, I THINK SO, TOO.

UH, WHAT DO YOU CALL IT, MR. RAOUL?

OH, THIS ONE IS CALLED
MIDNIGHT ON A GLASS-BOTTOM BOAT.

MIDNIGHT ON A GLASS-BOTTOM BOAT?

YES. IF I MAY BE
SO KIND AS TO EXPLAIN...

I WISH YOU WOULD.

YOU SEE, THE FIGURE REPRESENTS
THE GLASS-BOTTOM BOAT WOMAN,

THROUGH WHOSE BEAUTY WE SEE
STRANGE WORLDS IN THE DEPTHS-

BEAUTIFUL, YET DISTORTED.

YET THOSE THINGS ARE ONLY SEEN
DISTANTLY, FULL OF SHADOWS.

SO NATURALLY, THAT IS WHY
I SAY MIDNIGHT ON THE BOAT.

OH. SYMBOLIC!

OH, VERY GOOD.

UH...

I DON'T KNOW WHETHER YOU'RE THE
MAN WE'RE LOOKING FOR OR NOT.

OH, I CAN SCULPT ANYTHING.
I NEED ONLY THE CONCEPTION.

THEN PICTURE TO YOURSELF THE
WHOLE STORY OF AMERICAN HISTORY,

SCULPTING THAT IN ALL
ITS VAST EVOLUTION.

VAST EVOLUTION, YES.

CUT IN IMPERISHABLE STONE WHERE
ONE MILLION PEOPLE WILL SEE IT.

ONE MILLION PEOPLE, YES.

EVERY DAY, MR. RAOUL,
AND FLOODLIT AT NIGHT.

YEAH. EVERY DAY,
EVERY NIGHT.

THAT'S THE TASK, TO
SCULPT THAT ON THE FACE

OF THE GREAT J.M. BLAIR
BUILDING DOWN IN THE BIG CITY.

OH, IS WONDERFUL!

WONDERFUL? I'LL SAY! IT'S
A WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITY,

BUT A VERY
DIFFICULT TASK.

IN THE FIRST PLACE, YOU'VE
GOT TO GET IN THE PIONEERS,

WASHINGTON, LINCOLN,
LEE, THE INDIANS.

IT'S GOING TO BE A LONG,
GRUELING JOB, MR. RAOUL,

BUT I THINK YOU MIGHT BE
EQUAL TO IT.

I- I-I KNOW
I CAN DO IT.

ARE YOU SURE?

I AM POSITIVE.

LONG DISTANCE, PLEASE.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING
ABOUT, YOU CRAZY IDIOT?

I CAN'T UNDERSTAND
A WORD YOU'RE SAYING.

WHAT ARE-

TONIGHT, EH?

OH.

HE SAYS YOU'LL HAVE TO
START IMMEDIATELY.

BUT HE CAN'T
POSSIBLY DO THAT.

OH, I KNOW
I CAN DO IT.

THAT'S GOING TO BE
VERY DIFFICULT.

OH, NOTHING IS TOO DIFFICULT FOR ART.

YOU MEAN TO SAY YOU COULD
START TODAY, IN AN HOUR?

IN A MINUTE.

HE'LL ACCEPT, MR. BLAIR.

HE'LL ACCEPT IT?

WHO WILL ACCEPT WHAT?

VERY WELL.
YES, I UNDERSTAND.

MR. RAOUL WILL LEAVE
IMMEDIATELY. GOOD-BYE.

I MUST PACK AT ONCE!

YOU'VE TAKEN A STEP
TODAY THAT WILL MAKE YOU

THE MOST FAMOUS
SCULPTOR IN AMERICA.

IN THE WHOLE WORLD!

IN THE WHOLE WORLD.

IT'S NOT FAIR TO AN
ARTIST OF YOUR CALIBER

TO RUSH HIM OFF
LIKE THIS.

A SOLDIER OF ART MUST BE
PREPARED TO DO ANYTHING,

GO ANYWHERE FOR HIS ART
ON A MOMENT'S NOTICE.

YOU'RE CERTAINLY
PROVING THAT.

I CAN SEE IT ALL BEFORE ME
ALREADY, GLOWING IN A BLUE LIGHT.

I SHALL CALL IT
PANORAMA AMERICANA.

GREAT!

YES. I SHALL BEGIN
WITH INDIANS.

WIGWAMS.

AH, IT'S
AN INSPIRATION.

WHO'S HIRING WHO,

AND WHAT ARE YOU
TALKING ABOUT?

JUST TELL ME,
THAT'S ALL.

NOW, CALM DOWN, J.M.
I'LL WRITE YOU ALL ABOUT IT.

LOOK, I JUST SENT YOU A SCULPTOR
DOWN THERE BY THE NAME OF RAOUL.

WHEN HE SHOWS UP, HANG HIM ON A
SCAFFOLD OUTSIDE OF THE BUILDING

AND HAVE HIM DRAW SKETCHES.

AND WHATEVER YOU DO, KEEP HIM
THERE UNTIL YOU HEAR FROM ME.

OH, EVERYTHING'S
GOING GREAT HERE.

OH, SAY, LISTEN.

IF HE ASKS FOR AN INDIAN,
GET HIM ONE.

INDIAN?

I'M GLAD EVERYTHING
IS ALL RIGHT.

I HOPE YOU ENJOY
YOURSELF. THANK YOU.

AH, YES!

TABLE FOR JUDGE PORTER.

HOPE YOU HUNGRY.

I'VE BEEN LOOKING
FORWARD TO

SOME BOUILLABAISSE
FOR WEEKS.

AH, YES.

ALWAYS A PLEASURE TO
TAKE CARE OF SOMEBODY

WHO APPRECIATES
A NICE FISH STEW.

I HOPE YOU STILL MAKE THE
KIND WITH EVERYTHING IN IT.

IF IT SWIMS, WE GOT THEM
IN THE BOUILLABAISSE.

GOOD.

ONE ORDER
BOUILLABAISSE!

GREAT LITTLE PLACE,
THIS, ISN'T IT, HUH?

IT'S MR. SHERMAN AGAIN.

DON'T YOU WORRY.
I WON'T INTRUDE.

JUST FOLLOWED YOU IN
TO APOLOGIZE.

YOU'VE ALREADY
APOLOGIZED.

AH, BUT TWO APOLOGIES
ARE ALWAYS BETTER THAN ONE.

THAT'S WHAT I SAY.

TWO WILL BE
QUITE SUFFICIENT.

DO YOU MIND? I'D LIKE TO BE ALONE.

OH, NOT AT ALL,
NOT AT ALL.

AWFULLY NICE
SEEING YOU AGAIN.

GOOD-BYE.

AH. I'LL HAVE
A SHRIMP COCKTAIL

AND A LARGE BOWL
OF BOUILLABAISSE-

I CAN RECOMMEND IT-
WITH LOTS OF CLAMS.

SURE.
WE GOT THEM.

SOME CRACKERS WHILE
YOU'RE WAITING?

NO, THANK YOU. THEY'RE AWFULLY GOOD.

ON THAT TRAIN,
SOMETHING TOLD ME

THAT I WAS GOING TO
SEE YOU AGAIN.

OH, DON'T MIND MY
TALKING LIKE THIS.

IT'S A COMPLEX
WITH ME.

SOME PEOPLE HAVE
CLAUSTROPHOBIA.

THEY JUST GO CRAZY WHEN
THEY'RE ENCLOSED IN SPACES.

I'VE GOT AN UNCLE
WHO'S GOT HELIOPHOBIA-

HE SIMPLY CANNOT STAND
BEING IN THE SUN.

MINE IS DIFFERENT.
IT'S SOLOPHOBIA.

JUST CANNOT STAND
EATING ALONE.

YOU SHOULD LEARN TO
DIVIDE, LIKE AN AMEBA.

AND DON'T THINK THAT YOU
HAVEN'T GOT A COMPLEX, TOO.

IT SHOWS UP ALL OVER
YOU. YOU'RE INHIBITED.

YOU OUGHT TO TAKE UP SOME FORM
OF ART TO RELEASE YOURSELF-

PAINTING, SCULPTURE.

THAT'S MY WORK-
CHISELING.

TOO BAD YOU CAN'T
CONFINE IT TO MARBLE.

YEAH. IT-

BELIEVE IT OR NOT, I, ONCE UPON
A TIME, WORKED IN AN OFFICE.

IMAGINE THAT? WORKED
FOR A MAN CALLED GUFFEY.

AND ONE DAY
I SAID TO HIM,

"MR. GUFFEY, MY HEART IS NOT IN
THIS BUSINESS OF SELLING FURNITURE."

AND HE SAID TO ME- HE WAS ONE
OF THOSE TOUGH SORT OF BOSSES-

HE SAID TO ME, "GET BACK TO YOUR
DESK THERE, YOU YOUNG SQUIRT."

AND WITH THAT, I PICKED
UP THE LEDGER ON HIS DESK.

I SAID, "THIS IS WHAT YOU'VE
WORKED YOUR WHOLE LIFE FOR.

NOW ARE YOU HAPPY?"

AND HE SAID TO ME, "I WON'T STAND
FOR THIS INSOLENCE. YOU'RE A JACKASS!"

I SAID, "GET OUT OF MY WAY
BEFORE I THROW YOU OUT.

"FOR 8 YEARS,
I'VE WORKED FOR YOU,

"SOLD THAT FURNITURE OF YOURS,
LIED TO PEOPLE ABOUT IT-

"POOR, HONEST PEOPLE-
FOR A MISERABLE $30 A WEEK!

AND NOW I'M THROUGH. I'M MY OWN
MASTER. MY SOUL BELONGS TO ME."

UH...

YES. A LITTLE
FRESH AIR, PLEASE.

IT'S GOING TO
HELP YOU.

COME ON. YOU'RE GOING TO BE ALL RIGHT.

Freddie: MOTHER!

SHH. BE QUIET.

MOTHER!

BE QUIET.

LOOK WHAT I CAUGHT!

AAH! OH, DEAR.

BE QUIET. YOU'LL WAKE
UP YOUR AUNT CORNELIA.

CAN WE HAVE THEM FOR BREAKFAST? CAN WE?

ALL OF THEM?

YES! SURE!

SHH. BE QUIET. YES, WE
CAN HAVE ALL OF THEM.

CAN I HELP
COOK THEM?

YES, YOU CAN HELP COOK THEM. OH, BOY!

AHCHOO!

AHCHOO!

AH-JANE!

Jane: CORNELIA,
IS THAT YOU?

AHCHOO!

MY HAY FEVER'S
COME BACK ON ME.

ROSES?!
CORNELIA, ROSES.

TAKE THEM AWAY!
TAKE THEM AWAY!

OH, DEAR.

AHCHOO! OH...

"DEAR MISS PORTER,
I APOLOGIZE FOR THE WAY I ACTED.

"INCIDENTALLY, ANYONE AS...

"AS LOVELY AS YOU

SHOULD WAKE UP EVERY MORNING
WITH RO"...

RO-RO-RO-AHCHOO!

"ROSES ON YOUR PILLOW.

JEFF-AHCHOO!- SHERMAN."

AHCHOO!

"DEAR J.M., HAVE HAD
A SLIGHT SETBACK,

"BUT THINGS ARE
SHAPING UP GREAT.

"THIS CASE REQUIRES
THE SLOW BUILDUP.

"BUT THIS ACHILLES HEEL
IS EASY TO FIND.

"WHEN THEY'RE BEAUTIFUL, YOU TELL
THEM THEY HAVE BRAINS AND VICE VERSA.

THIS IS VICE. JEFF."

JEFF SHERMAN, CAPE COD, MASSACHUSETTS.

NEVER MIND THE ALIBIS.
GET RESULTS.

HEREAFTER, FILE EXPENSE
ACCOUNT WEEKLY, AND ITEMIZE IT.

REGARDS, J.M. BLAIR.

NO, WAIT A MINUTE.

NEVER MIND THE REGARDS.

I'M SORRY, MR. SHERMAN. MISS
PORTER WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SEE YOU.

BUT, UH-

HELLO, FREDDIE.
A KITE THERE, HUH?

I CAN'T TALK TO YOU NOW.
I'M AWFUL BUSY.

BUT DO YOU KNOW THAT I USED TO
WIN PRIZES AT THIS KIND OF THING?

NOW, LOOK. I'LL SHOW YOU
HOW IT'S DONE.

UH... COME HERE.

YOU HANG ON TO IT THERE, AND
I'LL LET YOU IN ON A SECRET.

THERE YOU ARE, NOW.

CAN YOU SWIM?

CERTAINLY I CAN SWIM.

OH, THAT'S FINE.
NOW, THEN.

THE SECRET IS NEVER TO TAKE YOUR EYE OFF
THE KITE WHEN YOU'RE RUNNING BACKWARD.

ARE YOU ALL READY NOW?

OK!

LET HER GO!

HANG ON, FREDDIE!
I'LL SAVE YOU!

HANG ON, FREDDIE!
I'LL BE RIGHT THERE!

YOU'RE ALL RIGHT. UNCLE JEFF'S
RIGHT HERE. THERE WE ARE.

THERE, THERE.
HOW DO YOU FEEL, HUH?

FREDDIE!
BABY LAMB!

FREDDIE, ANGEL!

AW...

HE'S ALL RIGHT.
JUST A LITTLE DIP.

BUT SUPPOSING
YOU HADN'T BEEN HERE?

I WOULDN'T HAVE
FALLEN IN.

LOOK, I THINK WE'D BETTER
GET HIM RIGHT IN THE HOUSE.

YOU TAKE THIS,
WILL YOU? COME ON.

OW!

AW, YOU'RE ALL RIGHT.

PUT ME DOWN! I CAN WALK. I'M NO BABY.

OF COURSE
YOU'RE NO BABY.

I CAN TAKE CARE
OF MYSELF.

Sherman:
THERE YOU ARE.

YOU WERE SIMPLY
WONDERFUL.

I THINK IT WAS JUST
PROVIDENCE THAT PUT YOU THERE.

PROVIDENCE
DIDN'T PUT ME THERE.

Jane: FREDDIE!

SAY THANK YOU TO
THE LOVELY GENTLEMAN

WHO PRACTICALLY SAVED YOU FROM DROWNING.

THANK YOU.

NOW, IS THAT NICE?

JUST FOR THAT,
YOU RUN UPSTAIRS

AND CHANGE
YOUR WET CLOTHES.

ALL RIGHT.

JUST AT THAT AGE,
ISN'T HE?

OH, YES. HE'S VERY BIG FOR HIS SIZE.

UH...

WON'T YOU SIT DOWN?

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. LET ME
TAKE THIS. IT'S VERY VALUABLE.

ALL RIGHT. ARE YOU LIVING UP
HERE WITH YOUR WIFE, MISTER...

SHERMAN IS MY NAME.

HELLO.

OH, HERE, NETTIE.

PUT THESE THINGS
RIGHT HERE.

ALLOW ME, NETTIE.

YOU CAN RUN UPSTAIRS AND
HELP FREDDIE. I'LL POUR.

BYE, NETTIE.

DID YOU SAY YOU WERE LIVING
UP HERE WITH YOUR WIFE?

OH, NO.
I'M A BACHELOR.

OH, GOOD.

UH, THAT IS, UH...

YOU'RE AN ARTIST,
AREN'T YOU?

MMM...

I'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO DO SOMETHING
IN ART, BUT FREDDIE'S FATHER ALWAYS-

WE'RE DIVORCED, OF COURSE-
HE OBJECTED.

IS THAT SO?

YES. I JUST ADORE ART.
DON'T YOU?

IT'S SO... ARTISTIC.

YES, IT-IT...

YES, IT'S QUITE
ARTISTIC.

YES.

CORNELIA?

CORNELIA,
COME HERE A MINUTE.

OH, CORNELIA, THE
MOST EXCITING THING HA-

MR. SHERMAN, WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

WHAT'S HE
DOING HERE?

WELL, HE PRACTICALLY SAVED
FREDDIE FROM DROWNING.

Nettie: MASTER FREDDIE,
YOU BRING THAT BB GUN BACK HERE!

OH, DEAR. I'LL HAVE TO GO RIGHT UP.

WHEN HE'S ANGRY, HE ALWAYS
GOES AFTER HIS BB GUN.

DON'T GO AWAY.

VERY CONVENIENT
OF FREDDIE

TO HAVE POPPED IN THE
WATER JUST THEN, WASN'T IT?

ANGRY?

JUST WHY DID YOU CALL, MR. SHERMAN?

TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH, I'D
LIKE TO DO A HEAD OF YOU.

WHAT'S THE MATTER? DON'T YOU THINK
YOU OUGHT TO HAVE YOUR HEAD SCULPTED?

I THINK I OUGHT TO
HAVE IT EXAMINED

FOR STANDING HERE
TALKING TO YOU.

JUST A MINUTE. MAYBE I
WASN'T EXACTLY CONVENTIONAL

IN APPROACHING YOU
TO POSE FOR ME,

BUT AFTER ALL, YOU CAN'T
EXPECT AN ARTIST LIKE ME-

TOO MANY ARTISTS USE
VERY LITTLE TALENT

AS AN EXCUSE TO BREAK
THE LAWS OF BEHAVIOR.

MISS CORNELIA,
YOU KNOW WHAT I THINK?

I DON'T BELIEVE YOU REALLY
UNDERSTAND YOUR AESTHETIC EGO.

I THINK YOU OUGHT TO
HAVE YOURS LOOKED INTO

BY THE COMMITTEE
INVESTIGATING INFLATION.

NOW, IF YOU
DON'T MIND...

AT LEAST BEFORE YOU SAY NO,
HAVE A LOOK AT MY WORK.

HERE.

THERE IT IS.

WHAT DO YOU THINK
OF THAT?

IS THAT YOURS?

TEMPORARILY.

I MEAN, AFTER ALL, WELL, I
HAVE TO SELL WHAT I CREATE.

ARTISTS MUST EAT,
YOU KNOW.

IT'S REALLY QUITE GOOD.

I CALL IT MIDNIGHT
ON A GLASS-BOTTOM BOAT.

OR LOST IN A FOG.
THAT'S QUITE A TITLE.

NOW, YOU SEE, THIS FIGURE REPRESENTS

A GLASS-BOTTOM
BOAT... WOMAN,

THROUGH WHOSE BEAUTY WE SEE
STRANGE WORLDS IN THE DEPTHS-

BEAUTIFUL AND DISTORTED.

YET, UH, THOSE THINGS
ARE SEEN, UH...

WELL, THEY'RE SEEN DISTANTLY
AND FULL OF HEAVY SHADOWS.

THAT'S WHY I SAY MIDNIGHT
ON A GLASS-BOTTOM BOAT.

THAT'S RATHER INVOLVED.
BUT TELL ME, HOW DID YOU-

NOW, I WANT YOU TO SEE IT
FROM THIS ANGLE, YOU SEE?

YOU GET THE FEELING THAT I'M
TRYING TO INTERPRET THERE?

SEE THAT?

YOU KNOW, YOU'VE GOT
SOMETHING OF THAT SAME QUALITY.

WHAT, DISTORTED?

NO, NO. A KIND OF EXOTIC
MYSTERY AND GLAMOUR.

ME?

CERTAINLY YOU. SOME
PEOPLE CALL IT MAGNETISM.

IT'S THAT QUALITY THAT MAKES A
GREAT ACTRESS AND A GREAT LOVER.

UH, I HOPE YOU'LL
FORGIVE MY SAYING THIS,

BUT, UH, I DOUBT VERY MUCH IF
YOU'VE GOT A BRAIN IN YOUR HEAD.

NOT A SINGLE,
SOLITARY ONE.

GREAT ARTISTS AND GREAT
ACTRESSES AND LOVERS NEVER THINK.

THEY'RE PURE EMOTION.

THEY'RE NOT EVEN AWARE
OF THEIR OWN FASCINATION.

THEY ONLY FEEL.

WHAT'S SO FUNNY?

OH! YOU ARE.

OH, YOU COULDN'T BE
FURTHER WRONG.

YOU JUST COULDN'T BE.

EXOTIC... GLAMOROUS...
AN ACTRESS.

OH, GOD!
HA HA HA!

YES, A KIND OF
A MYSTERIOUS-

MYSTERIOUS?
HA HA HA!

OH, YOU DON'T KNOW
HOW FUNNY YOU ARE.

YOU JUST DON'T KNOW.

I GUESS NOT.

JANEY?

Janey: YES?

SHOW MR. SHERMAN
THE DOOR.

IT'S KILLING ME.
EXOTIC! HA HA!

OH, WELL.

OH!

Janey: FREDDIE!
FREDDIE!

OH, FREDDIE, PLEASE
GIVE MOTHER THAT BB GUN!

MMM... GLAMOROUS...
EXOTIC... AH, DEAR.

YOUR BATH'S
READY, MA'AM.

I, UH, I WAS JUST LAUGHING ABOUT
THAT ARTIST FELLOW OUT THERE.

HE SAID I WAS AN ACTRESS,
EXOTIC, GLAMOROUS-ME!

HA HA! A JUDGE
BEING GLAMOROUS!

GLAMOROUS? HA HA!

THAT IS FUNNY
ALL RIGHT, MA'AM.

I KNOW. IT'S SILLY.

GLAMOROUS!

THERE YOU ARE,
JANEY.

OH, THANK YOU.

YOU'RE VERY WELCOME.

I JUST LOVE CAPE COD AND THE VILLAGE.

I HATE TO SEE NEWCOMERS
INVADING IT, DON'T YOU?

Both: YES.

WON'T YOU HAVE
A DRINK, WALTER?

THANK YOU,
JANE.

IT WILL HELP SWEEP THE
COBWEBS OUT OF MY MIND.

WELL, CHEERS.

WALTER ALWAYS HAS SO MANY
LEGAL THINGS ON HIS MIND,

LIKE HABEAS CHORUS.

HABEAS CORPUS DURING
WORKING HOURS, JANE, DEAR.

CORNELIA!

I'VE ASKED MR. SHERMAN
TO STAY FOR DINNER.

HELLO,
CORNELIA, DEAR.

OH... YOU LIKE
IT, WALTER?

IT'S IMMENSE! REALLY, I CAN'T TELL YOU.

OH, NOW,
WALTER.

REALLY, IT ISN'T
THAT EXCITING.

BUT IT IS!

I'VE NEVER READ
ANYTHING MORE BRILLIANT.

THIS LAST CHAPTER MADE
ME REALIZE WHAT A MASTER

OF JUDICIAL EXPOSITION
YOU'VE BECOME.

UH, YOU DON'T LOOK
VERY JUDICIAL THIS EVENING.

I'M AFRAID
I DIDN'T INTEND TO.

CORNELIA'S ALL GUSSIED UP,
AND YOU DIDN'T EVEN NOTICE.

OH, YES, I DID.

YES, I-I DID!

THE GODDESS OF JUSTICE
ALL SHINING,

THE STATUE
IN NEW ARRAY.

YOU MAKE ME FEEL LIKE
SOMETHING IN A PARK,

HOLDING UP
A MARBLE TORCH

BUT I DID THINK YOU'D LIKE
TO KNOW HOW GOOD THIS IS-

WALTER,
LATER PERHAPS.

I'M NOT QUITE
IN THE MOOD.

OH, SURE.

CAPE COD SPECIAL-

GUARANTEED TO DRIVE
THE DUST OFF STATUES.

I'LL HAVE
ANOTHER CUP, NETTIE.

OH, COME ON NOW.
TELL ME ALL ABOUT IT.

ARTISTS LOVE TO TALK
ABOUT THEMSELVES.

WELL, I'D RATHER NOT.

OH, TELL ME HOW
YOU BEGAN SCULPTURING.

IT WAS, UM, QUITE ACCIDENTAL
AS A MATTER OF FACT.

YOU SEE, MY FATHER WAS A SAND
SCULPTOR IN ATLANTIC CITY.

OH, HOW INTERESTING!

UH, YOUR MOVE,
CORNELIA.

UH, YES, I KNOW.

I WAS WATCHING
THE SEA.

I FEEL ODD TONIGHT-
RESTLESS.

INDIGESTION.

NO. JUST RESTLESS.

IT WAS PROBABLY THAT
CRAB YOU HAD FOR DINNER.

YOU KNOW WHAT CRAB
ALWAYS DOES TO YOU.

WALTER, DEAR,
CRAB DOES NOTHING TO ME.

WELL, IT, UH...

WHAT SORT OF FEELING
IS IT EXACTLY?

I DON'T KNOW
EXACTLY.

JUST PLAIN OLD-FASHIONED
RESTLESS, I GUESS.

NERVES.

I'LL GET YOU
AN AMYNAL TABLET.

THAT'LL QUIET YOU
DOWN IN NO TIME.

IT'S CHILLY
OUT HERE.

OH, YES,
IT'S FREEZING.

I'LL GET A WRAP
AND BE RIGHT BACK.

OH, DON'T HURRY.
JUST-JUST TAKE YOUR TIME.

MMM... BLESS
YOUR HEART.

WHERE'S WALTER?

HE'S GONE TO GET ME
AN AMYNAL TABLET AGAIN.

OH, HE HAS ALL THE
ROMANCE OF AN OLD HERRING.

WELL, HE LIKED
THE NEW CHAPTER.

HE TAKES YOU
FOR GRANTED.

AND THE FUNNY THING IS

THAT ARTIST FELLOW
IS-

WELL, HE'S INSANE
ABOUT YOU!

HE'S SO SILLY.

YES, BUT TERRIBLY
ATTRACTIVE, DARLING.

I'M VERY SAD
ABOUT IT REALLY.

HE CAN'T SEE ME
FOR SAWDUST.

SAY, YOU OUGHT
TO BE OUTSIDE.

IT'S A GREAT NIGHT!

BALMY AND LOVELY
OUT THERE.

I'M PLAYING CHESS.

BY YOURSELF?

WOULDN'T BE INTERESTED IN A
BICYCLE RIDE BY ANY CHANCE?

IN A WHAT?

YOU KNOW-
A MOONLIGHT PEDAL.

Walter: CORNELIA?

YES, DEAR?

WANT A LITTLE BICARBONATE
WITH THIS TABLET?

NO, THANK YOU,
WALTER.

LOOK, WE COULD BE BACK
IN A HALF AN HOUR.

THIS WILL CALM YOU DOWN
IN NO TIME-

I REALLY SHOULDN'T RUN
OUT LIKE THIS, YOU KNOW.

WHY NOT?

IT GIVES ME SORT
OF A GUILTY FEELING.

YES, BUT YOU DON'T FEEL
RESTLESS ANYMORE, DO YOU?

WELL, NOT AS MUCH.

WE'D LIKE A COUPLE
OF BICYCLES, PLEASE.

YES, SIR.

YOU KNOW, MY STUDIO
ISN'T FAR FROM HERE.

WOULD YOU LIKE TO DROP IN FOR A MOMENT?

OH, NO, THANKS. IT'S
MUCH TOO LOVELY OUTDOORS.

YEAH.

I CAN'T WHISTLE.
NEVER COULD.

TRY HUMMING IT,
THEN.

DAISY, DAISY

GIVE ME
YOUR ANSWER, DO

I'M HALF CRAZY
ALL FOR THE LOVE OF YOU

IT WON'T BE
A STYLISH MARRIAGE

I CAN'T AFFORD
A CARRIAGE

BUT YOU'LL LOOK SWEET
UPON THE SEAT

OF A BICYCLE BUILT
FOR TWO

BUP BUP
BUP BUP BUP

DAISY, DAISY

GIVE ME
YOUR ANSWER, DO

HELLO, J.M.?

WELL, SHE'S DUE
HERE ANY MINUTE,

AND I'M SUPPOSED
TO SCULPT HER HEAD.

YEAH... WHAT DO YOU MEAN,
WHAT HAVE I BEEN DOING?

WELL, TUESDAY WE SWAM.
YOU GOT THOSE, DIDN'T YOU?

YEAH?

ALL RIGHT, THEN ON-
WELL, LET ME SEE.

LAST FRIDAY WE RODE,
AND SUNDAY WE RODE AGAIN.

I SENT THOSE UP. YOU
OUGHT TO HAVE THEM BY NOW.

HUH? AND WHAT ABOUT
THAT PICNIC ON SATURDAY?

WHAT DO YOU EXPECT
FOR A FEW WEEKS' WORK?

AFTER ALL, THIS IS
A SLOW BUILDUP TYPE.

I'M NOT TALKING
ABOUT THAT!

I'M TALKING ABOUT THE BILLS AND
THAT LITTLE PARTNER OF YOURS-

DOTTY... DOTTY...
WHATEVER HER NAME IS.

LISTEN, MR. BRAINS,

DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU
GOT ME INTO WITH HER?

SAY, NOW, WAIT
A MINUTE, J.M.

YOU HAVEN'T BEEN
STARTING ANYTHING

WITH HER NOW,
HAVE YOU?

STARTED ANYTHING?! SHE'S
PRACTICALLY TRIED TO BLACKMAIL ME!

WHAT'S SHE WANT? SHE
WANTS 5 GRAND OF MY MONEY!

WAIT-THAT CERTAIN PARTY
IS HERE NOW.

I CAN'T TALK ANY MORE.

I'LL CALL YOU BACK.

YEAH. ALL RIGHT.

COMING, CORNELIA!

WELL, CORNELIA, NICE
TO SEE YOU. COME IN.

THANK YOU.

TELL ME, WHAT DO YOU THINK
OF THE LITTLE WORKSHOP?

WHY, I'M SURPRISED. I HAD NO
IDEA YOU WERE THIS INDUSTRIOUS.

IT'S A BIT
ON THE DIM SIDE

FOR SCULPTING THOUGH,
ISN'T IT?

OH, NO, NO, NO,
I DON'T THINK SO.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT WE
OUGHT TO DO? CELEBRATE!

AFTER ALL, THIS IS
YOUR FIRST VISIT

TO MY SANCTUM HERE,
ISN'T IT,

AND ALL THAT SORT
OF THING...

AND FOR SOME STRANGE REASON,
YOU KNOW,

I DON'T FEEL THE LEAST
LITTLE BIT LIKE WORKING TODAY.

OH, DON'T YOU?

NO!

YOU KNOW,
FOR SOME SILLY REASON,

I KEEP THINKING
OF A MAN NAMED SMITH.

SMITH, EH?

WELL, HERE'S
TO SMITH.

CAN'T IMAGINE WHY.

ABOUT ALL I REMEMBER IS HE WAS A
DEFENDANT IN A CASE I ONCE TRIED.

INTERESTING,
I ASSUME.

HMM. IT WAS ONE OF THOSE
UNPLEASANT AFFAIRS.

YOU KNOW THE KIND.

SHE WAS IN HIS APARTMENT.
WILSON VS. SMITH.

IT WAS AMUSING.

HE FANCIED HIMSELF A
CASANOVA-YOU KNOW THE TYPE.

HMM!

HIS FAVORITE TRICK- THIS
IS SCREAMINGLY FUNNY-

HIS FAVORITE TRICK

WAS TO PLACE A BOOK OF
POETRY BESIDE THE COUCH.

YES. VERY FUNNY.

ALWAYS LEFT THE PAGE OPEN
IN THE SAME PLACE, OF COURSE.

THE SONG OF SONGS.

THOU ARE FAIR,
MY BELOVED,

THE ROSE OF SHARON,
THE LILY OF THE VALLEY.

DON'T YOU THINK
THAT'S JUST PRICELESS?

OH, YES,
IT CERTAINLY IS.

WHAT AN ABSURD
COINCIDENCE!

THE SONG OF SONGS.

NO!

YES.

IT'S AMAZING,
ISN'T IT?

AH, YES.

POOR SMITH. HE WAS RATHER A
STUPID FELLOW, AS I RECALL.

YOU KNOW, YOU'RE MUCH TOO LOVELY
FOR US TO BE TALKING ABOUT LAW.

THE CURSE
OF A LEGAL MEMORY.

AND THOSE THINGS!

I NEVER HAVE SEEN THOSE THAT I
DON'T THINK OF THE OSBORN CASE.

EVERY TIME I LOOK
AT A PHONOGRAPH,

I THINK OF THAT
POOR LITTLE MAN.

HE PREFERRED
THE SOULFUL APPROACH.

YOU KNOW,
A VIOLIN SOLO-

PLAYED, OF COURSE,
ON A RECORD-

OF THE INDIAN LOVE CALL.

I WOULDN'T PLAY THAT
IF I WERE YOU.

NO? OH, WHY NOT?

WELL, IT-BY AN
ABSURD COINCIDENCE-

IS THE INDIAN
LOVE CALL.

OH, REALLY?

YEAH. FUNNY,
ISN'T IT?

THEN I REMEMBER-

OR SHALL I TELL YOU
ABOUT ANOTHER OF MY CASES?

NO, I DON'T THINK
IT WILL BE NECESSARY.

YOU SEE, BY ANOTHER
ABSURD COINCIDENCE,

I'M, UH-WELL, I'M
SOMEWHAT CLAIRVOYANT.

EXTRAORDINARY,
ISN'T IT?

YEAH.

OH, THIS STATUE HERE-

THIS CROSS GRAIN
IS VERY INTERESTING.

HOW DID YOU GET IT?

YOU WANTED TO KNOW
ABOUT THE CROSS GRAIN?

YES.

UH, WELL, NOW. IF YOU'D COME RIGHT OVER
HERE AND SIT DOWN,

I'LL EXPLAIN
THE WHOLE THING TO YOU.

UH, BEFORE WE TALK ABOUT
THE CROSS GRAIN, THOUGH,

WHAT ABOUT YOU AND ME?

I MEAN, UH-
WELL, TELL ME-

WHAT-WHAT POSE DO YOU
THINK YOU WOULD LIKE?

THE TELEPHONE. WILL YOU
EXCUSE ME JUST A MINUTE?

HELLO?

JEFF?
THIS IS DOTTY.

I'VE TAKEN JUST ABOUT ALL I'M
GOING TO TAKE FROM YOU, PAL.

OH, UH, I'M AFRAID YOU
MUST HAVE THE WRONG NUMBER.

I'M UP HERE,
BIG BOY,

AND I'LL BE OVER THERE
IN TWO MINUTES FLAT,

AND I WANT WHAT'S
COMING TO ME, SEE?

YOU'RE-OH, YOU'RE
PHONING FOR EDDIE!

WELL, THEN, WHY
DIDN'T YOU SAY SO?

HE'S WHAT?

WELL, WHAT DID THE
DOCTOR SAY? IS IT SERIOUS?

AN OLD FRIEND OF MINE. HE'S VERY SICK.

NO, NO, NO, NO!
DON'T DO THAT.

I'LL COME OVER THERE
RIGHT AWAY.

OH, YES.
YOU TELL EDDIE.

I'LL BE RIGHT OVER THERE,
AND I'LL TELL YOU.

NO, NO, NO. I WILL
COME OVER THERE.

RIGHT AWAY. YES.
GOOD-BYE.

I'M TERRIBLY SORRY, CORNELIA.
IT'S AN OLD FRIEND OF MINE.

IT'S TOO BAD.
ANYTHING SERIOUS?

UH, WELL,
THEY DON'T KNOW YET.

YOU SEE, IT CAME ON
VERY SUDDENLY.

WOULD YOU MIND TERRIBLY IF WE
POSTPONED OUR SCULPTING FOR ANOTHER DAY?

OF COURSE NOT.
I UNDERSTAND.

YOU SEE, I'M AFRAID I WOULDN'T
BE IN JUST THE RIGHT MOOD.

THINGS LIKE THIS-
YOU DON'T FEEL VERY CREATIVE.

NO, I WOULDN'T EITHER.

YOU JUST GO ALONG AND
DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.

WELL, NOW, WHEN AM I
GOING TO SEE YOU AGAIN?

I DON'T KNOW.

TOMORROW I HAVE TO SPEAK
AT A RED CROSS RALLY,

AND AFTER THAT, I THINK THAT WE'RE ALL-

WHAT ABOUT TONIGHT?

IT'S LOW TIDE. OUGHT TO BE
A GREAT NIGHT FOR CLAMMING.

WHAT ABOUT BLUE COVE
AT 8:00, HUH?

THE COVE AT 8:00.

FINE.

WAIT FOR ME.

HELLO, DOTTY!

I'VE JUST GOT ONE THING
TO SAY TO YOU, JEFF.

WAIT TILL WE
GET INSIDE.

YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE
COME UP HERE, HONEY.

IF I DON'T GET 5 GRAND, I'M
GOING TO THE JUDGE AND SPILL.

NOW, I'LL TELL YOU
WHAT YOU DO.

YOU GO ON BACK TO THE CITY,
AND I'LL FIX THE WHOLE THING UP.

IT'S GOT TO BE MORE
THAN A PROMISE, BIG BOY.

THIS CERTAINLY LOOKS
STRANGELY FAMILIAR.

STILL USING
THE SAME OLD LINE, TOO.

I HAD A DREAM
ABOUT YOU LAST NIGHT.

YOU WERE FAR AWAY
AND IN SORT OF A ROSE GARDEN.

THE WAY YOU'VE BEEN
TREATING ME,

I FEEL LIKE TELLING
EVERYTHING AND FIXING YOU GOOD.

OH, NOW, SIT
DOWN THERE, BABY.

YOU LIKE ME
TOO MUCH FOR THAT.

YOU KNOW PERFECTLY
WELL YOU DO.

TELL YOU WHAT
WE'LL DO.

YOU AND I WILL HAVE A LITTLE DRINK
AND TALK THE WHOLE THING OVER.

I DON'T WANT
TO TALK.

I WANT
A DEFINITE ANSWER.

THAT'S WHAT THIS
WILL HELP US GET.

COME ON.
THERE YOU ARE.

HERE'S TO YOU
AND ME, NOW.

WELL, DID YOU ENJOY
BEING A SCULPTOR'S MODEL?

OH, WE DIDN'T
EVEN BEGIN.

WHAT HAPPENED.
DIDN'T HE SCULPT YOU?

THERE'S SUCH A THING AS
ARTISTS' MOODS, YOU KNOW, WALTER.

LET'S SEE HERE, NOW.

"CIVIL CODE PROVIDES
IN SUCH CASES-"

HMM. "QUESTION OF
BRINGING UP NEW WITNESSES."

"INEQUITY"...
OH, THIS SHOULD BE OHIO INSTEAD OF WISCONSIN

FOR THAT
CITATION, WALTER.

WHAT DID YOU DO
IF HE DIDN'T SCULPT YOU?

OH, I DON'T KNOW.

WE JUST SAT AROUND AND LAUGHED
AND TALKED AND SO FORTH.

AND SO FORTH?!

"AND SO FORTH."

OH. HA HA!

AND A BED
WITH SATIN SHEETS.

ALL MY LIFE, I'VE NEVER
EVEN HAD ONE SATIN SHEET.

ISN'T THAT STINKY,
JEFF?

YEAH. THAT'S STINKY.

NOT EVEN ONE.

WELL, YOU'LL HAVE
A DOZEN OF THEM.

AND A COTTAGE
AND EVERYTHING!

AH, IT'LL BE GREAT!

WONDERFUL!

I CAN SEE US
THERE ALREADY.

I'LL TELL YOU
WHAT YOU DO.

YOU GO ON BACK
TO TOWN

AND THEN COME UP HERE
NEXT SATURDAY NIGHT.

ALL RIGHT.

NOW, DON'T
YOU FORGET.

NO, I WON'T
FORGET.

THAT'S MY GIRL.
THERE WE GO.

WHAT ABOUT
MY TROUSSEAU?

I GOT TO HAVE
A TROUSSEAU.

OH, YOU CAN HAVE
ANYTHING YOU WANT.

JUST GO INTO MANTELLS
AND BUY ANYTHING YOU NEED.

MANTELLS?

SURE.

WHAT AM I GOING
TO USE FOR MONEY?

DON'T WORRY ABOUT A
LITTLE THING LIKE THAT.

CHARGE IT TO BOSS.
COME ON, BABY.

WATCH YOUR STEP.

THAT'S THE GIRL.

THERE WE GO.

HERE'S YOUR HAT.

GOOD-BYE-EE!

GOOD-BYE-EE,
DOTTY-EE.

YOU KNOW, I HAD
A DREAM ABOUT YOU.

YOU WERE FAR AWAY IN
SORT OF A ROSE GARDEN,

AND I-I COULDN'T SEE
YOUR FACE AT FIRST,

AND THEN YOU
- YOU CAME TO ME OUT OF THE SHADOWS.

UH-UH.

UH-UH?

LET'S BE HONEST, HMM?

BUT I AM HONEST.

LET'S NOT TALK LIKE
AN ADVERTISEMENT FOR TAHITI

JUST BECAUSE THERE'S
A MOON AND THINGS.

I'D RATHER YOU'D SAY
"UGH" AND MEANT IT

THAN A LOT OF BOSH YOU
THOUGHT THE MOMENT CALLED FOR.

OK. UGH.

HA HA! THAT'S NO GOOD.
YOU DIDN'T MEAN IT.

YOU'RE TOO CYNICAL
ABOUT IT.

WELL, THAT'S THE WAY
IT STRIKES ME.

WHAT ARE YOU
MADE OF-ICE?

NO. WHY?

DON'T YOU FEEL
ANYTHING?

A MOONLIT SURF,
A DESERTED BEACH,

AN OLD BOAT SLEEPING
IN THE SAND?

YES, OF COURSE, I DO.

WELL, THEN?

OH, YOU WERE WRONG.

SUNSET AND EVENING STAR
AND ONE CLEAR CALL FOR ME!

AND LET THERE BE NO MOANING OF
THE BAR, WHEN I PUT OUT TO SEA.

CLEAR AS MUD.

WELL, IT'S JUST THAT I'VE
ALWAYS HUNG ON TO MYSELF.

I DON'T BELIEVE
IN MOODS.

MOODS BETRAY YOU.
THEY CHANGE IN A DAY.

WHEN I PUT OUT TO SEA, I-

I WANT TO BE
SO SURE OF IT

THAT NEVER, EVER, EVER WILL
THERE BE ANY MOANING OF THE BAR.

NO REGRETS.

TOO SERIOUS.
WAY TOO SERIOUS.

JUST SENSIBLE.

YOU KNOW,
YOU'RE SUFFERING

FROM TOO MUCH
SUCCESS AS A JUDGE.

IT'S MADE YOU
DOGMATIC.

YOU LIVE BY RULES.

IN OTHER WORDS,
UNFEMININE, EH?

WELL, YOU DON'T SOUND
EXACTLY LIKE THE WOMAN'S PAGE.

HOW DO
OTHER WOMEN ACT?

WOULD YOU REALLY
LIKEO KNOW?

MM-HMM.

WELL, THEN,
LET'S SEE.

JANEY ALWAYS TELLS ME
I'M A HUMAN LAW BOOK, TOO.

NOW, LET'S PRETEND
I'M ANOTHER GIRL.

HERE WE ARE-.

ALONE ON THE BEACH.

MM-HMM.

WELL, IN THE FIRST PLACE,
YOU'D BE LIKE THIS.

THERE. SEE?

AND, UH, THEN
YOU'D SAY, UH...

"I DREAMED I SAW YOU
FAR AWAY LAST NIGHT"...

AND SOMETHING AND THEN
SOMETHING ABOUT A ROSE GARDEN.

AND WHAT
WOULD I SAY?

THEN YOU'D SAY,
"DID YOU, JEFF?"

DID YOU, JEFF?

AND YOU KEPT FADING
AND GETTING REAL,

AND THEN I HEARD
SORT OF SOME MUSIC.

AND THEN
YOU'D SAY, UM-

YES?

YOU'D SAY, "WHAT SONG WERE
THEY PLAYING, JEFF, DEAR?"

WHAT SONG WERE
THEY PLAYING, JEFF, DEAR?

THE SONG THEY PLAYED
WHEN I FIRST MET YOU.

REMEMBER?

THEN WHAT DO I SAY?

YOU JUST SAY YES.

BUT YOU WHISPER IT, AND
THEN YOU LOOK UP AT ME.

YES.

NO. SOFTER.

Yes.

That's it.

Then what?

THEN I KISS HER.

And what does
she say?

SHE DOESN'T SAY
ANYTHING USUALLY,

BECAUSE I KISS
HER AGAIN.

YOU PHONE CHICAGO

AND EXPLAIN
THE DEAL TO THEM.

I'VE GOT TOO MUCH
TO DO.

YES, J.M.

AND GET
THOSE LETTERS OUT.

EXCUSE ME,
MR. BLAIR, BUT-

DON'T BOTHER ME NOW.
JUST PUT IT DOWN.

BUT DON'T YOU-

JUT PUT IT DOWN.
I'LL READ IT LATER.

ALL RIGHT,
MR. BLAIR.

THELMA! THELMA!

WHO SENT
THIS STUFF HERE?

MANTELLS,
MR. BLAIR.

IT WAS ORDERED DELIVERED
HERE AND CHARGED TO YOU.

BY WHOM?

SHE'S OUTSIDE, SIR.

THROW HER OUT AND SEND
THIS STUFF BACK!

YES, SIR.

I'M SORRY, MR. BLAIR,
BUT SHE INSISTS-

YOU BET I DO!

THAT'S ALL, THELMA.
THAT'S ALL.

IS THIS ASSORTMENT
OF DRY GOODS YOURS?

IT CERTAINLY IS.

IT'S MY TROUSSEAU
YOU'RE BUYING FOR ME.

WHO SAID
I WAS BUYING IT?

JEFF DID.

PART OF THE DEAL.

IT'S PART OF NOTHING!
NOW, YOU PUT THAT DOWN!

I WILL NOT!

YOUNG WOMAN,
GIVE ME THAT CLIP.

I'M GOING TO SEND
IT BACK.

OH, NO, YOU'RE NOT.

OH, YES, I AM!

NOW, COME ON.
HAND IT OVER.

DON'T BE RIDICULOUS.

YOUNG WOMAN?

GIVE ME THAT CLIP!

I'LL DO NOTHING
OF THE KIND!

YOU GET BACK THERE
AND SIT DOWN.

WILL YOU STOP THAT
SILLY WALKING AROUND?

THAT CLIP IS GOING BACK,
OR I'LL KNOW THE REASON WHY-

IF I HAVE TO SEND
YOU BACK WITH IT.

LISTEN, BIG SHOT, I WAS
PROMISED THIS TROUSSEAU.

I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE
FOR SHERMAN'S PROMISES.

MAYBE YOU WILL BE RESPONSIBLE
IF I GO TO YOUR EX-WIFE

AND TELL HER WHAT THIS
LITTLE PARTY'S ALL ABOUT.

BELIEVE ME, BROTHER, THAT WILL
COST YOU A LOT MORE THAN THIS WILL.

HA HA! NOW, NOW,
MY LITTLE FRIEND.

NOW, NOW, WHAT?

YOU KNOW VERY OFTEN THINGS ARE SAID
IN HASTE AND AREN'T REALLY MEANT.

WELL, MAKE UP
YOUR MIND.

DO I TAKE THE TROUSSEAU,
OR DO I TALK?

I KNEW YOU WERE
A SMART YOUNG LADY

THE MINUTE I LAID
EYES ON YOU.

TAKE THE TROUSSEAU.

THANKS, J.M.

AND I'LL JUST TAKE THIS
LITTLE CLIP RIGHT WITH ME.

I'LL GIVE MY ADDRESS
TO YOUR SECRETARY,

AND YOU CAN SEND
THE PACKAGES OVER.

GOOD-BYE-EE.

GET ME SHERMAN
ON THE PHONE.

DON'T STOP RINGING
UNTIL YOU DO GET HIM-

IF IT TAKES
ALL NIGHT!

THIS IS RIDICULOUS!

YOU KNOW THAT,
DON'T YOU?

WHY?

OH, THINGS LIKE THIS JUST DON'T HAPPEN
- TO ME, I MEAN.

WE'VE KNOWN EACH OTHER-
HOW LONG IS IT? 3 WEEKS?

AND TWO DAYS.

WHEN DID YOU
FIRST KNOW, JEFF?

WHAT? THAT I WANTED
TO SEE YOU AGAIN?

UH-HUH.

ON THE TRAIN.

OH, I DIDN'T WANT
TO SEE YOU.

NOT TILL
THE OTHER NIGHT.

I WAS FURIOUS
WITH MYSELF AT FIRST.

YOU FEEL LIKE
THAT NOW?

IN A WAY, I'VE BEEN
PRETTY SMUG, I GUESS.

I DIDN'T THINK
MUCH OF THE MEN I SAW.

THIS IS THE FIRST TIME
I'VE KNOWN A MAN I FELT

SURE I COULD TRUST
AS A FRIEND AND...

IN EVERY WAY.

WELL, MAYBE YOU
SHOULDN'T BE TOO POSITIVE.

I AM, THOUGH.

WELL, THAT'S NICE
OF YOU, CORNELIA,

BUT-WELL, I-

I JUST NEVER THOUGHT OF
MYSELF THAT WAY BEFORE.

ALL MY LIFE
I'VE BEEN A SKEPTIC.

SITTING IN COURT
UP AGAINST PEOPLE'S DECEITS

DIDN'T MAKE ME
ANY SOFTER, EITHER.

YOU KNOW THERE AREN'T
MANY COMPLETELY HONEST MEN...

OR WOMEN,
FOR THAT MATTER.

DON'T YOU AGREE
WITH ME, JEFF?

UH...

WELL, SURE.

THERE AREN'T,
I GUESS.

I'M AFRAID I LIKE
YOU, MR. SHERMAN,

AND I SHOULDN'T,
EITHER.

COME IN, DOTTY. THE
HOME TEAM IS RAINED OUT.

WHERE IS SHE?

HUH! INCREDIBLE
AS IT SOUNDS,

SHERMAN FAILED
TO MAKE YARDAGE TONIGHT.

YOU'RE SLIPPING?

OH, JUST DIDN'T PICK
THE RIGHT PLAYS, I GUESS.

BEEN WANTING TO CHANGE
THAT THING FOR WEEKS.

THERE. THAT'S BETTER,
ISN'T IS, HUH?

I BET THAT'S JUST BEEN WORRYING
YOU TO DEATH ALL EVENING.

NOT MUCH. SIT DOWN,
HONEY, AND RELAX.

WHY WOULDN'T SHE COME?

DOTTY, THE FIRST THING
A SMART MAN LEARNS

IS NEVER TO WORRY ABOUT WHY
A WOMAN CHANGES HER MIND.

AN OLD CHINESE
PROVERB, HUH?

YEAH.

I DON'T THINK
YOU'RE SLIPPING.

NO?

NO. I THINK YOU'RE NUMB
FROM THE SHOCK OF FALLING.

OH, HELLO.

WHAT ABOUT A LITTLE
TUSSLE WITH CHAPTER 6?

NO, I, UH, THINK
I'M GOING FOR A WALK.

CORNELIA, YOU'RE NOT SEEING
THAT FELLOW AGAIN TODAY?

OH, WALTER, DEAR, LET'S
NOT GO INTO THAT AGAIN.

WELL, NATURALLY,
IT'S YOUR OWN BUSINESS,

BUT IT DOESN'T TAKE
MUCH JUDGMENT TO SEE

THAT HE'S NOT
THE SORT TO TRUST.

BUT I'M TIRED OF HAVING
MUCH JUDGMENT.

I SPEND 10 MONTHS A YEAR
PASSING JUDGMENT ON PEOPLE.

YOU CERTAINLY DIDN'T PICK
THE RIGHT TIME TO STOP.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND YOU AT ALL,
LATELY. YOU'RE NOT YOURSELF.

OH, MAYBE I AM
AND WASN'T BEFORE.

NOW, IT ISN'T
A RENDEZVOUS.

HE'S HARD AT WORK AND
DOESN'T EVEN KNOW I'M COMING.

I'M JUST DROPPING IN.

YOU NEVER USED
TO DROP IN ON ME

WHEN I WAS WORKING
AT THE OFFICE.

OH, YES, I DID, BUT YOU
ALWAYS WENT RIGHT ON WORKING.

YOU GOT TO STEP ON IT

IF YOU WANT TO CATCH THAT
4:18 TRAIN BACK, MR. RAOUL.

WAIT FOR ME.
I'LL BE RIGHT OUT.

BABIES!

OH HO!

YOU'RE GOING
TO SEE MR. BLAIR.

OH, YES, YOU ARE!

OH HO! YOU'RE GOING
WITH US, TOO.

JEFF?

IT'S ME
- CORNELIA.

I JUST DROPPED
IN FOR A SEC-

I BEG YOUR PARDON.

HOW DO YOU DO?
WHERE'S MR. SHERMAN?

I DON'T KNOW.
I'M SORRY.

EXCUSE ME.
I'M VERY BUSY.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT TIME
HE'LL BE BACK-

DON'T TOUCH THAT.

I BEG YOUR PARDON.

PUT IT DOWN.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING
WITH THOSE?

THOSE ARE THE STATUES
THAT I-

MADAM, WHATEVER THE GAME
IS, PLEASE PLAY IT

SOMEPLACES ELSE
WITH SOMEBODIES ELSE.

NOW, PLEASE
MAKE THE EGRESS.

I NEVER HEARD OF SUCH
ARROGANCE. PUT THAT DOWN.

YOU GET RIGHT OUT OF HERE,
OR I'LL CALL THE POLICE.

I THE ONE THAT'S GOING
TO CALL THE POLICE.

THIS IS MY STUDIO!
LOOK.

"ALEXANDER RAOUL,
1941"?

YES. YES. AND THIS
AND THIS.

AND THIS ONE
AND THIS.

I- I DON'T UNDERSTAND.

WHICH IS MR. SHERMAN'S?

NONE.

YOU BETTER SNAP IT UP IF YOU WANT
TO CATCH THAT TRAIN, MR. RAOUL.

DRIVER!

PLEASE, NOW.
YOU'RE MAKING ME LATE.

JUST ONE MINUTE.

IS THIS HIS STUDIO?

SURE IS,
LADY.

WILL YOU GO NOW,
PLEASE?

WHAT ELSE DO YOU
KNOW ABOUT MR. SHERMAN?

MR. SHERMAN-AH!
HE'S MY BENEFACTOR,

THE BENEFACTOR
OF THE ARTS, TOO.

HE AND MR. BLAIR
HAVE DISCOVERED ME.

OH, I TAKE THIS...

AND THIS...

BLAIR...

WHAT BLAIR
ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

BLAIR!
J.M. BLAIR!

NOW, THERE'S A TRUE FRIEND OF SCULPTURE.

YOU BETTER STEP ON IT, MR. RAOUL.

THERE MUST BE
SOME MISTAKE.

ARE YOU SURE YOU HAVE
THE RIGHT MAN?

PLEASE, I HAVE
NO TIME FOR QUESTIONS.

SOME OTHER TIME.
I'M IN A GREAT HURRY.

OH, I'VE ENJOYED
BEING HERE.

PERHAPS YOU'LL HAVE ME
AGAIN SOME DAY.

REMEMBER ME TO
MR. SHERMAN. GOOD-BYE.

YES, THIS IS
JUDGE PORTER.

I KNEW IT. I KNEW HE
WAS ONE ALL THE TIME-

SHH!

HELLO, JUDGE GRAHAM?

THIS IS CORNELIA PORTER.

THE WHAT CASE?

OH, YES. YES.

AS A MATTER OF FACT, I'D
INTENDED TO WRITE OR CALL YOU.

SOMETHING
DID HAPPEN.

MR. BLAIR TELEPHONED
A WHILE BACK.

I TOLD HIM IT WAS ABSURD
TO TALK OF REMOVING YOU...

I SEE. SCANDAL.

YES. YES.

OH, NO. NO.
NOT A THING.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH,
JUDGE.

CORNELIA, I HATE
TO SAY THIS-

WELL, DON'T!

OBSTRUCTING JUSTICE
AND CONTEMPT

ARE TWO VERY
INTERESTING CHARGES.

I'D TAKE THE ONE THAT GIVES
HIM THE LONGEST SENTENCE.

I'LL GIVE HIM BOTH!

NOW, WAIT, DARLING.

DON'T LET YOUR EMOTIONS
RUN AWAY WITH YOUR JUDGMENT.

YOU CAN'T CONVICT FOR
CONSPIRACY WITHOUT EVIDENCE.

WELL, LET'S GET IT.

UNFORTUNATELY,
THAT'S DIFFICULT.

WHY, IT'S VERY SIMPLE. JUST
GO INTO HIS STUDIO AND GET IT.

OH, SURE!

WALTER, YOU RUN RIGHT
DOWN THERE THIS MINUTE-

NO, CORNELIA.
WAIT A MINUTE.

A MAN'S HOME IS HIS
CASTLE. YOU KNOW THAT.

I KNOW THAT.

FORCIBLE ENTRY WITHOUT
PERMISSION IS A CRIME.

BETWEEN THE HOURS OF SUNSET
AND SUNRISE, IT'S A FELONY.

YOU DON'T WANT TO COMMIT A NEW CRIME

JUST TO RIGHT
AN OLD ONE, DO YOU?

YES, I DO.

I FEEL LIKE BREAKING
LAWS AND RULES...

AND HIS SMUG HEAD,
IF I HAD IT HERE.

I'LL PUT HIM WHERE HE BELONGS
- BEHIND BARS!

MR. SHERMAN
IS HERE, SIR.

HELLO, J.M.

HELLO.

HI, DOTTY.

I DON'T WANT TO BE DISTURBED
BY ANYBODY, YOU UNDERSTAND?

GLAD YOU CALLED
THIS LITTLE POWWOW.

I WAS COMING IN TO SEE
YOU, THOUGH, ANYWAY.

I'LL MAKE IT
SHORT AND SWEET.

I WANT THIS JUDGE PORTER BUSINESS
FINISHED UP TOMORROW NIGHT.

IT'S FINISHED UP NOW.

SHE'S RIGHT, J.M.
IT'S ALL FINISHED.

BUT YOU SAID YOU
HAD EVERYTHING ARRANGED.

WELL, I DON'T KNOW.

IT-IT HIT ME
ALL OF A SUDDEN.

SHE'S A FINE LADY,
J.M.,

AND-WELL, WE CAN'T DO A
THING LIKE THIS TO HER-

RUIN HER CAREER.

MONEY ISN'T
THAT IMPORTANT.

UH, NO.
IT-IT'S ALL OFF.

THAT'S WHERE
YOU'RE WRONG.

BUT YOU'RE WASTING
YOUR BREATH.

HE'S SIMPLY GAGA ABOUT
THAT FEMALE LAW BOOK.

WELL, THAT SUITS ME.

THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT THIS YOUNG
LADY IS GOING TO CLAIM IN OUR SUIT:

ALIENATION OF YOUR
MOTH-EATEN AFFECTIONS.

JUDGE PORTER
STOLE THEM.

PETTY LARCENY.

WITH WHAT
EVIDENCE?

HA! WE'VE GOT ENOUGH. WE
DON'T HAVE TO GO ANY FURTHER.

DO YOU REALIZE HOW MUCH MONEY
I'VE POURED INTO THIS THING?

ALL RIGHT. I'LL PAY
IT BACK, WITH INTEREST,

IF I HAVE TO WORK FOR YOU
FOR 10 YEARS TO DO IT.

YEAH? WELL, YOU WON'T
GET THE CHANCE.

YOU STILL THINK YOU'RE GOING TO
SMEAR HER WITH SCANDAL, DO YOU?

I'M GOING TO DUNK HER
IN IT-LIKE A DOUGHNUT.

EXCUSE ME, SIR.

WHAT DO YOU
WANT?

DIDN'T I TELL YOU I
WASN'T TO BE DISTURBED?

YES, SIR, BUT
THE POLICE ARE HERE.

ALL RIGHT, BUY A COUPLE
OF TICKETS AND LET THEM GO.

I'M SORRY, SIR, THE TICKETS
ARE FOR YOU AND MR. SHERMAN.

TICKETS FOR WHAT?

CONTEMPT OF COURT.
DEPARTMENT NUMBER 6. PORTER.

CONSPIRACY
TO OBSTRUCT JUSTICE.

YOU CAN'T ARREST
ME LIKE THIS!

DO YOU KNOW
WHO I AM?

SURE. YOU'RE THE GUY THAT'S
GOING TO TELL IT TO THE JUDGE.

COME ON.

DON'T DO THAT
TO ME!

SHE WOULDN'T DO
A THINK LIKE THAT.

HONEY, THE FIRST THING
A SMART MAN LEARNS

IS NEVER TO WORRY ABOUT WHY
A WOMAN CHANGES HER MIND.

Policeman: ALL RIGHT,
MR. SHERMAN. COME ON.

THAT'S ALL.

WELL, STEP DOWN!
STEP DOWN!

I HAVE NOTHING FURTHER
TO OFFER, YOUR HONOR.

I FEEL THAT THE EVIDENCE AND
TESTIMONY YOU HAVE JUST HEARD

PROVE BEYOND QUESTION
THAT THIS MAN SHERMAN

AND HIS CO-CONSPIRATOR BLAIR KNOWINGLY
PLOTTED THE CONTEMPTIBLE ACTION

OF ATTEMPTING
TO BESMIRCH AND SLANDER

AN OFFICER OF THE SUPERIOR
COURT SOLELY FOR THE PURPOSE

OF WRONGFULLY INFLUENCING
A JUDGMENT OF THAT COURT.

IN ALL MY EXPERIENCE AS
ATTORNEY AND JUDGE ON THE BENCH,

I CAN FRANKLY SAY
I HAVE NEVER ENCOUNTERED

A CITIZEN WITH
SO LOW A REGARD

FOR THE RESPECT
DUE THE COURTS

AND THE ORDINARY RIGHTS
OR OTHER PEOPLE.

SO I NOW ASK THAT THE COURT
IMPOSE THE SEVEREST PENALTY

ON THIS MAN SHERMAN AND
HIS CO-DEFENDANT BLAIR.

LET'S SEE HERE.
LET'S SEE.

YOU HEARD WHAT SHE SAID.
GO ON. YOU SAY SOMETHING.

YOUR HONOR, MAY I BE
PERMITTED TO POINT OUT-

NO! YOU WAIT A MINUTE.

EVERYBODY HOLD YOUR HORSES WHILE
I GET ALL THIS EVIDENCE IN MIND.

VERY WELL DONE,
MY DARLING.

J.M...

IT'S ALL SETTLED WITH
THE FORMER MRS. BLAIR.

DID YOU PAY
HER OFF YET?

YES. THAT'S WHAT
MADE ME LATE.

SHE INSISTED ON MY GOING
TO THE BANK WITH HER

AND GETTING
THE CHECK CASHED.

HA! BURGLAR.

I KNOW, BUT TRY TO LOOK
ON THE BRIGHT SIDE OF IT.

YOU MADE
A LUMP SETTLEMENT.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO PAY
ANOTHER CENT OF ALIMONY.

DEFENDANT SHERMAN,
IT'S A VERY SERIOUS CHARGE.

I REALIZE THAT,
YOUR HONOR.

OH, YOU DO, EH?

WHAT HAVE YOU GOT
TO SAY FOR YOURSELF?

UH, I HAVEN'T A LAWYER.

UH, I SHOULD LIKE
TO REPRESENT MYSELF,

IF IT'S ALL RIGHT
WITH THE COURT.

IT'S PERFECTLY ALL RIGHT.

I DON'T KNOW MUCH
ABOUT LAW, OF COURSE.

WE'LL HELP YOU.
WE'LL HELP YOU.

I SHOULD LIKE TO CALL
A WITNESS.

WELL, GO AHEAD
AND CALL HIM.

THE HONORABLE
CORNELIA PORTER.

NOW WE ARE SUNK.

DON'T WORRY, J.M.
DON'T WORRY.

I'LL PUT IN A PLEA
FOR LENIENCY.

YOUR NAME,
PLEASE.

CORNELIA-

WE WILL DISPENSE
WITH ALL THAT!

WE KNOW HER NAME, WHAT SHE
DOES, AND WHY SHE'S HERE.

NOW, WHAT DO YOU
WANT TO ASK HERE?

NO FORMALITIES?

NO FORMALITIES!

OH. JUST GO AHEAD
AND ASK HER, EH?

THAT'S RIGHT! JUST GO AHEAD AND ASK HER.

WELL, THEN...

CORNELIA, WILL
YOU MARRY ME?

I OBJECT!

I OBJECT TO YOU.

WELL, THAT'S TOO BAD.

YOUR HONOR, I OBJECT
TO THAT QUESTION.

ON WHAT GROUNDS?

IT'S INCOMPETENT,
IMMATERIAL, AND IRRELEVANT,

AND THERE'S BEEN NO GROUNDWORK
LAID FOR THE QUESTION.

IT'S NOT IRRELEVANT,

AND THERE'S BEEN A LOT
OF GROUNDWORK LAID FOR IT.

Walter: YOUR HONOR, OBJECTED
TO ON THE FURTHER GROUNDS

OF CALLING FOR A CONCLUSION
BY THE WITNESS

AND NOT TESTIMONY
AS TO A FACT.

HOW DO YOU KNOW?

AFTER ALL,
IT COULD BE A FACT.

IT COULD NOT!

I'LL DECIDE THAT!
NOW, YOU SIT DOWN.

SIT DOWN!

NOW, THEN,
WHY IS IT RELEVANT?

IF YOUR HONOR
PLEASE...

UH, THERE-THERE'S NO
EVIDENCE BEFORE THIS COURT

OF MR. BLAIR OR MYSELF
HAVING OBSTRUCTED JUSTICE,

BUT ONLY OF THE INTENTION TO DO SO.

UH, NOW, THEN...

UH, UH,
IF THE IMPLICATIONS

OF THE EVIDENCE AND TESTIMONY ARE TRUE,

THEN THE DEFENDANT
IS GUILTY

OF ATTEMPTING TO
INVOLVE THE WITNESS

IN A SCANDAL TO BESMIRCH HER CHARACTER,

BUT, IF ON
THE OTHER HAND,

THE INTENTION
WERE HONORABLE,

THEN, UH, WELL, NO SCANDAL
COULD HAVE OCCURRED,

AND WHAT COULD
BE MORE HONORABLE

THAT
THE PRESENT QUESTION

IN THE PRESENCE OF THESE WITNESSES HERE?

JUST A MINUTE!
JUST A MINUTE!

HE'S ONLY TALKING
FOR HIMSELF!

I'VE GOT LAWYERS HERE.
GO ON! SAY SOMETHING!

YES, YES.
OF COURSE, J.M.

WE SHOULD LIKE TO HAVE THE
RECORD SHOW, YOUR HONOR,

THAT MY CLIENT,
MR. BLAIR,

IS NOT BOUND BY
WHAT THIS MAN SAYS.

THIS MAN IS DOING
ALL RIGHT.

NOW, YOU SIT DOWN.
MAKE YOURSELF COMFORTABLE.

WELL, HOW ABOUT THAT,
COUNSEL?

ON A PURELY LEGAL BASIS,

THE QUESTION
IS NOT PERMISSIBLE

BECAUSE IT CALLS FOR
A CONCLUSION BY THE WITNESS.

UNLESS GROUNDWORK
HAS BEEN LAID.

CORRECT. UNLESS GROUNDWORK
HAS BEEN LAID.

LAY YOUR GROUNDWORK.

THANK YOU, YOUR HONOR. NOW-

ARE YOU TAKING
THIS DOWN?

NO, YOUR HONOR.

WELL, TAKE IT!
TAKE IT!

YOU'RE NOT DOING
ANYTHING ELSE, ARE YOU?

NO.

GO AHEAD.

WHEN DID YOU FIRST CONCLUDE THAT
MY INTENTIONS WERE DISHONORABLE?

I ALWAYS KNEW
THEY WERE.

YOU'RE UNDER OATH,
REMEMBER?

YOUR HONOR, I OBJECT.

I OBJECT TO THIS WHOLE LINE
OF QUESTIONING.

IT'S AN INSULT TO THE COURT
AND MAKES A FARCE OF THE LAW.

IF IT DOES, I CAN STRIKE IT ALL OUT
OF THE RECORDS AFTERWARDS, CAN'T I?

Cornelia: YES.

IN THE MEANTIME, I'LL ALLOW IT. PROCEED.

IF YOU BELIEVED
IT WERE MY INTENTION

TO ENSNARE
YOUR AFFECTIONS

SOLELY FOR THE PURPOSE

OF INVOLVING
YOU IN SCANDAL,

THEN WHY, ON THE NIGHT
OF JULY 11, THIS YEAR,

AT THE HOUR OF 12:30,
DID YOU SAY TO ME

IN THE ESTABLISHMENT KNOWN AS
FRANKIE'S CAPE COD CELLAR DE LUXE

THAT YOU LOVED ME?

I OBJECT!

I OBJECT ON THE GROUNDS
THAT IT-

IMMATERIAL, INCOMPETENT,
AND IRRELEVANT!

RIGHT!

I'M GOING TO HAVE
THE RECORD SHOW, COUNSEL,

THAT YOU OBJECT TO EVERY
QUESTION FROM HERE ON.

IT CAN BE CONSIDERED AS IF
YOU DID MAKE THE OBJECTION.

GO AHEAD. WE'LL HAVE
NO MORE INTERRUPTIONS.

SIT DOWN!

IS IT THE TRUTH?

YES, BUT I-

JUST ANSWER
YES OR NO.

ARE YOU NOT IN LOVE
WITH THE DEFENDANT NOW?

I OBJECT!

HE OBJECTS. PUT IT
IN THE RECORD.

YES.

ARE YOU?

THAT'S TOO ABSURD
TO DESERVE AN ANSWER.

ARE YOU IN LOVE
WITH THE DEFENDANT?

WILL THE WITNESS PLEASE
ANSWER THE QUESTION?

CERTAINLY NOT!

YOU MEAN, CERTAINLY NOT
YOU WON'T ANSWER?

YES-I MEAN NO!

I'LL DECIDE THAT!

PLEASE CONFINE YOURSELF
TO ANSWERING THE QUESTION.

SIT DOWN. HE'S DOING BETTER
THAN YOU ARE. LET HIM ALONE.

NOW, TAKE YOUR TIME
AND FRAME YOUR QUESTIONS

SO WE CAN GET
TO THE TRUTH HERE.

YES, YOUR HONOR.

IF YOU HAD
NOT DISCOVERED

THAT THE-

YOUR HONOR,

WELL YOU PLEASE DIRECT
THE WITNESS TO FACE ME?

SHE'S BEING COACHED
AN ANSWER BY COUNSEL.

ARE YOU
COACHING HER?

ONLY TO THE EXTENT OF URGING
HER NOT TO BE INTIMIDATED!

I'LL DECIDE WHO'S
INTIMIDATING WHO HERE!

SIT DOWN!

WILL YOU PLEASE LOOK AT HIM
WHEN HE ASKS YOU THE QUESTIONS?

WERE YOU EVER,
AT ANY TIME,

IN LOVE WITH
THE DEFENDANT SHERMAN?

YOU'RE UNDER OATH,
REMEMBER.

UH, IN A SENSE.
YES.

I SUPPOSE SO.

TO A DEGREE.

TO A DEGREE.
I SEE.

AND WOULD THAT DEGREE
HAVE BEEN SUFFICIENT

HMM... WHY...

I SUPPOSE SO.
YES.

AND NOTHING THE DEFENDANT
EVER DID OR SAID TO YOU

IN ANY WAY LED TO THE
ALTERING OF THAT FEELING?

WHY, UM...

UM... NO.

SO WHEN YOU SAID
A MOMENT AGO

THAT YOU WERE NOT IN
LOVE WITH THE DEFENDANT,

WERE YOU TELLING
THE TRUTH?

CORNELIA, WILL
YOU MARRY ME?

NO!

YOU ADMIT YOU WERE TELLING AN UNTRUTH!

YES! NO!

I MEAN-YOUR HONOR,

I WAS SAYING NO
TO SOMETHING HE SAID,

BUT I MEAN YES
TO WHAT HE ASKED.

YOU KNOW YOU DON'T
WANT TO PUT ME IN JAIL.

I CERTAINLY DO!

I'M GOING TO PUT YOU IN JAIL
IF IT'S THE LAST THING I DO!

HEAR! HEAR! HEAR!

REMEMBER WHERE
YOU ARE, JUDGE.

IF YOUR HONOR WILL ONLY LET
ME EXPLAIN WHAT SHE MEANS.

I AM PERFECTLY AWARE OF
WHAT SHE MEANS, COUNSEL!

SIT DOWN!

DID YOU EVER SAY
TO THE DEFENDANT SHERMAN

THAT YOU FELT IN YOUR
HEART HE WAS TRUSTWORTHY?

YES.

AND DID YOU BELIEVE HIM
WHEN YOU SAT ON THE CLIFF

IN THE MOONLIGHT UNDER
POINT ST. MARTIN'S LIGHTHOUSE

AND LOOKED AT HIM, AND HE
SAID, "DARLING, I ADORE YOU."

DID YOU BELIEVE HIM?

THEN.

NOW, I ASK YOU TO REPEAT TO THE
COURT YOUR WORDS AT THAT TIME.

MY WORDS?

YOUR WORDS.

I DON'T REMEMBER.

DOES IT REFRESH YOUR MEMORY IF I ASK YOU

IF IT'S NOT TRUE THAT
YOU SAID TO THE DEFENDANT

ONE NIGHT STANDING
IN THE SUMMER RAIN

WITH THE SEA WIND
BLOWING IN YOUR HAIR

THAT YOU'D NEVER
BEFORE KNOWN WHAT IT WAS

TO FEEL REALLY
HAPPY INSIDE

AND KNOW THAT
IT WOULDN'T END.

AND ISN'T IT
A FACT THAT-

YOUR HONOR... I DON'T CARE
TO BE QUESTIONED FURTHER.

WELL, THAT'S
THE DEFENDANT'S PRIVILEGE.

WELL, THEN LET
THE RECORD SHOW

THAT THE COMPLAINING WITNESS REFUSED
TO BE CROSS-QUESTIONED BY COUNSEL.

ALL THE OTHER EVIDENCE
IS IN.

MAY THE WITNESS
BE EXCUSED, PLEASE?

EXCUSED.

BUT, CORNELIA,
PLEASE.

I THINK
YOU'RE HATEFUL.

I NEVER WANT
TO SEE YOU AGAIN.

LISTEN, CORNELIA!

COME BACK HERE, YOU! I
HAVEN'T DECIDED THIS CASE YET!

YEAH, BUT THE COMPLAINING
WITNESS HAS WALKED OUT.

THE TESTIMONY HASN'T WALKED
OUT, THOUGH. IT'S IN THE RECORD.

IS THAT CORRECT,
YOUR HONOR?

CORRECT.
COME UP HERE YOU.

COME ON!

STAND ALONGSIDE OF HIM. I DON'T
LIKE TO YELL WHEN I MAKE RULINGS.

JEFF SHERMAN,
JOSEPH M. BLAIR,

THE COURT FINDS YOU GUILTY OF CONDUCT
CONTEMPTUOUS OF THE SUPERIOR COURT.

YOU ACTED REPREHENSIBLY,
BOTH OF YOU.

YOU OUGHT TO BE
ASHAMED OF YOURSELVES.

THE JUDGMENT
OF THIS COURT IS

THAT YOU BOTH WILL
BE CONFINED TO THE COUNTY JAIL

FOR A PERIOD OF-

ONE DAY.

TAKE CHARGE OF THEM,
BAILIFF.

ONE DAY!

THIS COURT'S NOW ADJOURNED
UNTIL 2:00.

SHOULD HAVE BEEN
A YEAR, TWO YEARS,

IF HE WEREN'T
SUCH AN OLD FOOL!

WHAT'D YOU SAY?

COUNSEL ADDRESSED
DEFENDANT.

SHOULD HAVE BEEN
A YEAR, TWO YEARS,

IF HE WEREN'T
SUCH AN OLD FOOL.

IS THAT WHAT YOU SAID?

IT CERTAINLY IS!

I REALIZE I'M
IN CONTEMPT OF COURT,

AND I'M HAPPY TO PAY FOR
THE PRIVILEGE OF SAYING IT.

HOW MUCH IS THE FINE?

ONE DAY IN THE COUNTY JAIL.
TAKE HIM ALONG, TOO, BAILIFF.

YOUR HONOR,
IF YOU DON'T MIND,

I HAVE A VERY IMPORTANT
CONFERENCE THIS AFTERNOON.

I'LL SERVE MY TIME
OVER THE WEEKEND.

I'LL DO THE SAME, YOUR
HONOR, IF YOU DON'T MIND.

BETTER FOR ME, TOO.

COME BACK HERE!

COME HERE.

YOU'LL SERVE YOUR TIME
NOW, ALL OF YOU. BAILIFF!

BRACELETS.

YES, YOUR HONOR.
BRACELETS.

BRACELETS!

WHAT FOR?

ON A CHARGE LIKE THIS?

WHY, THAT'S RIDICULOUS!

DON'T DO
THAT TO ME!

DIDN'T GO SO BAD
AFTER ALL.

SAVED MYSELF PLENTY SETTLING WITH ADELE.

OH, MR. BLAIR, I HAVE GOOD NEW FOR YOU.

I RUSHED RIGHT OVER WITH THIS.

I KNEW YOU'D BE
HAPPY ABOUT IT.

NOW YOU WON'T HAVE TO
PAY ANY MORE ALIMONY.

ALIMONY! I JUST SETTLED
WITH HER FOR 150,000!

ANOTHER DAY AND I WOULDN'T
HAVE HAD TO PAY A CENT!

SHALL I STOP PAYMENT
ON THE CHECK?

NO, YOU CAN'T! SHE'S ALREADY CASHED IT!

LET'S GET OVER
TO THE COUNTY JAIL.

DON'T PUSH ME
LIKE THAT!

THEY'RE WAITING LUNCH FOR YOU. COME ON.

NO, THANK YOU,
JUDGE GRAHAM.

I'D RATHER GO
BY MYSELF.

JUST AS YOU LIKE,
CORNELIA.

CORNELIA!

SHERMAN,
WAIT A MINUTE!

WAIT, CORNELIA!

COME BACK HERE!

STOP A MINUTE! WAIT!

WAIT
A MINUTE!

I MEANT WHAT
I SAID IN THE COURTROOM

HASN'T SHE CAUSED
US ENOUGH TROUBLE?

CORNELIA, YOU'VE GOT
TO LISTEN TO ME.

I'M CRAZY ABOUT YOU!

I WASN'T GOING
THROUGH WITH THIS.

CORNELIA, IF YOU DON'T
BELIEVE ME,

I'LL SPEND THE REST
OF MY DAYS HUNTING-

WAIT! MY HEART!
I CAN'T RUN LIKE THIS!

ARE YOU KIDDING?

HEY, WAIT!

CORNELIA,
LET ME TALK TO YOU!

CORNELIA, LISTEN!

I CAN PROVE I WANT
TO MARRY YOU.

CORNELIA!

IT'S A WONDER
I WASN'T KILLED!

JEFF!

JEFF, ARE
YOU HURT?

I'M OK.

SOMEBODY GET
A DOCTOR!

MY HEART WON'T
STAND THIS.

OH!

JEFF! JEFF!

ARE YOU HURT?

ARE YOU SURE YOU
FEEL ALL RIGHT?

I FEEL WONDERFUL.
WONDERFUL!

I CAN'T AFFORD
A CARRIAGE

BUT YOU'LL LOOK SWEET
UPON THE SEAT

OF A BICYCLE
BUILT FOR TWO

OH!
