38
Q

Red: What?

A

Oh, go for a ride. Drive up to the Stage Coach and have a highball.

39
Q

Red: you gotta promise to bring me back in an hour. Anyway two hours.

A

Do you want to ask Johnny?

40
Q

Interior of a speakeasy, only person in the room besides the help is Bob McAdams.

A

Georgetti.

41
Q

Georgetti: yes, Mr. McAdams. A Planter’s Punch, sir?

A

Another Planter’s Punch. (Johnny enters.) Hyuh, Johnny.

42
Q

Johnny: Hyuh, bob. I got your message.

A

I see you did. I was afraid you might have moved.

43
Q

Johnny: How did you ever find out where I was living?

A

Easy. I called up and asked your mother.

44
Q

Johnny: Yeah, they have a phone now…How’s your family? Your parents? Your sister?

A

They’re all pretty well, thanks. Connie got married last June.

45
Q

Johnny: She did? Marry a guy from town?

A

No, fellow from Baltimore.

46
Q

Johnny: Baltimore, eh? I guess everything’s all right at the mill.

A

Oh, sure. The old man’s running it by himself. What will you have?

47
Q

Johnny: Nothing, thanks. I got a show tonight.

A

You sure have. From what I hear, you ARE the show.

48
Q

Johnny: No. Don’t believe all you hear….What are you doing, Bob? I guess I should know, but I don’t.

A

I just started working downtown. Wall Street.

49
Q

Johnny: Bond salesman?

A

That’s the idea. There’s nothing for me at the mill. As a matter of fact my old gent doesn’t want me at the mill. He said go out and get a job where the boss wasn’t my father. So I got this job, or anyway he got it for me.

50
Q

Johnny: You living in the city?

A

Yes, I have an apartment with two other guys. We just moved in. Over on 37th street. Four rooms and bath. We got a two-months’ concesssion on a two-year lease. After we get moved in properly we’re going to have some parties, so you’ll see it. Not bad. Near the Lexington Avenue subway, Princeton Club, a couple of good speakeasies. Grand Central, if you have to get away. Not bad.

51
Q

Johnny: This is a new place for me. I had a hard time getting in.

A

Didn’t you mention my name?

52
Q

Johnny: When they gave me a chance to, I did. I guess they didn’t like my looks.

A

Yeah, they’re funny here. The first time I came here it was with my old gent. A lot of HIS friends come here. My favorite is Dan Moriarty’s, but they don’t allow women.

53
Q

Johnny: They must be the only ones that don’t…Not that I been going there very long, just since I been in honest-to-God Broadway shows. But - well, I don’t know.

A

You got anything good in the show?

54
Q

Johnny: Yeah. There’s one. I got one line up. I gave her a little lay when we were in New Haven, but nothing, you know, serious. If she has a date, all right, and if I have a date, all right.

A

Yeah, I guess there must be plenty of it.

55
Q

Johnny: Yeah. Yeah.

A

You know who I always thought you’d get together with?

56
Q

Johnny: Well, I can guess.

A

Mary Stukitis

57
Q

Johnny: If there would have been anybody it would have been her.

A

Do you ever run into her?

58
Q

Johnny: Mary? No…..And I guess I think of her on the average two, three, four times a day.

A

In other words, you’re in love with her.

59
Q

Johnny: But I’m not. You know….I got you to show me the waltz, remember?

A

Sure. I brag about it all the time.

60
Q

Jones: Emil. Georgetti. We’ll be two, please.

A

Hello, Mr. Jones.

61
Q

Jones: Oh, hello there.

A

(standing up, extending hand) I’m Bob McAdams.

62
Q

Jones: Oh, of course. Hello, Bob. Good to see you. Are you in New York now?

A

Yes sir, I just started.

63
Q

Jones: How’s that father of yours? Son of a gun owes me a letter. How’s your mother?

A

Fine, thanks.

64
Q

Jones: And Connie got married. I knew that. I was sorry I couldn’t get up for the wedding.

A

How’s Mrs. Jones?

65
Q

Jones: Oh, very well thank you. The twins just got back from Europe. I spose you knew they were at Bryn Mawr.

A

Yes, I did. This is my friend Johnny Anton.

66
Q

Jones: Well, nice to see you, Bob. Regards to the family. Like to buy you a drink, but I’m waiting for somebody right this minute.

A

That’s all right. We have to go, too. I mean, we have to go. Check, please.

67
Q

McAdams, enjoying life, turns around and sees first, a girl, then, recognizing her, Mary.

A

Hey, Mary?

68
Q

Mary: Who is it?…Bob. Bob McAdams!

A

This is swell. How are you. Come on, sit with me. Where you headed for?

69
Q

Mary: Home.

A

Home? I thought you lived in Philadelphia.

70
Q

Mary: Not any more. You don’t keep up to date. Do you live in New York?

A

Sure. I’ve been living here almost a year. Do you know who I see all the time? Johnny Antonelli. Johnny Anton, of course.

71
Q

Mary: I saw him in his show.

A

Didn’t you go backstage? I have a lot of friends in the show, thanks to Johnny, of course. But he’d be disappointed if he knew you saw the show and didn’t go back.

72
Q

Mary: I couldn’t. I was always with somebody.

A

You say always?

73
Q

Mary: I’ve seen it three times.

A

You better not let him find that out. What are you doing, I mean have you got a job?

74
Q

Mary: Yes, I’m a model.

A

Where? Bergdorf Goodman’s? I know a model there.

75
Q

Mary: No, a smaller place. It’s called Elise Brennan, you probably never heard of it.

A

No. Where do you live? Are you in the phone book?

76
Q

Mary: Yes. Under the name of Mary Stewart. East 65th street.

A

Mary Stewart. You know what happened to her.

77
Q

Mary: She was beheaded.

A

Yes, I was going to say she lost her head. Stewart, eh? Well, that’s not so far from Stukitis.

78
Q

Mary: It’s about as far as Lithuania to Scotland.

A

(laughing) Not bad. Listen, you’re not married or anything, are you?

79
Q

Mary: No, I’m still single. How about you?

A

Oh, me? Marriage is the farthest thing from my thoughts.

80
Q

Mary: I’ll bet.

A

Well listen, Mary, how about dinner some night? If I call you up are you going to be busy for the next six months or would you like to reminisce about the old home town?

81
Q

Mary: Any time.

A

How about weekends?

82
Q

Mar: What do you mean?

A

Well, next Sunday, for instance. I share an apartment with these two friends of mine and we have a cocktail party almost every Sunday.

83
Q

Mary: Weekends I’m almost always free.

A

Well good, how about this Sunday? I’ll get Johnny to come.

84
Q

Mary: Oh. Well, I don’t know.

A

Why? Don’t you want to see Johnny?

85
Q

Mary: Well, you don’t have to have him on account of me.

A

You’d rather he didn’t come.

86
Q

Mary: Well - I wouldn’t have much to say to him.

A

Okay, we don’t have to have him. You come, and then you and I go some place for dinner.

87
Q

Mary: All right, fine. I’d like to go out with you. Talk.

A

Swell. And not just once or twice, huh?

88
Q

Mary: Well, there’s one thing, though, Bob. I’m liable to break a date at the last minute.

A

Who doesn’t?

89
Q

Mary: Well, I just don’t want you to get sore.

A

Listen, don’t get me wrong. I don’t delude myself that you’ve been sitting her in New York waiting for good old Bob McAdams to take you out.

90
Q

Mary: Sixty-fourth street. I get off here. Are you in the phone book?

A

East thirty-seventh street. Any time after five-thirty.
