Final Scene

Question 1

MURIEL: Oh, Dick.

Answer 1

RICHARD: Oh, hello. Is it nine already?

Question 2

MURIEL: I thought you’d be waiting right here at the end of the path. I’ll bet you’d forgotten I was even coming.

Answer 2

RICHARD: No, I hadn’t forgotten, honest. But I got to thinking about life.

Question 3

MURIEL: You might think of me for a change. Dick! You come here to me. I’m afraid to go out there where anyone might see me.

Answer 3

RICHARD: Aw, there you go again— always scared of life!

Question 4

MURIEL: Dick Miller, I do think you’ve got an awful nerve to say that after all the risks I’ve run making this date and then sneaking out! You didn’t take the trouble to sneak any letter to me, I notice!

Answer 4

RICHARD: No, because after your first letter, I thought everything was dead and past between us.

Question 5

MURIEL: And I’ll bet you didn’t care one little bit! Oh, I was a fool ever to come here! I’ve got a good notion to go right home and never speak to you again!

Answer 5

RICHARD: Aw, don’t go Muriel! Please! I didn’t mean anything like that, honest I didn’t! Gee, if you knew how broken-hearted I was by that first letter, and how darned happy your second letter made me—!

Question 6

MURIEL: I don’t believe you! You’ve got to swear to me.

Answer 6

RICHARD: I swear!

Question 7

MURIEL: Well, then, all right, I’ll believe you.

Answer 7

RICHARD: Gosh, you’re pretty tonight, Muriel! It seems ages since we’ve been together. Gosh, Muriel, it sure is wonderful to be with you again!

Question 8

MURIEL: I’m glad— it makes you happy. I’m happy, too.

Answer 8

RICHARD: Can’t I— won’t you let me kiss you— now? Please!

Question 9

MURIEL: No! You mustn’t. Don’t—

Answer 9

Answer 12

RICHARD: Promise?

Question 13

MURIEL: I promise— maybe.

Answer 13

RICHARD: All right. You remember you’ve promised. Aw, don’t let’s stand here. Come on out and we can sit down in the boat.

Question 14

MURIEL: Well, all right— Only I can’t stay only a few minutes.

Answer 14

RICHARD: Aw, you can stay a little while, can’t you? Please!

Question 15

MURIEL: A little while. But I’ve got to be home in bed again pretending to be asleep by ten o’clock.

Answer 15

RICHARD: But you’ll have lots of time to do that.

Question 16

MURIEL: Dick, you have no idea what I went through to get here tonight! My, but it was exciting! I had to get all undressed and into bed and Ma came up, and I pretended to be asleep, and she went down again, and I got up and dressed in such a hurry— I must look a sight, don’t I?

Answer 16

RICHARD: You do not. You look wonderful.
