Work out the details with Mark.

If they want to rent the hideaway, they still have to deal with our staff.

All right.

Anything else? Let's see. It's almost... Oh, can you do me a favor? Gerald

Milburn needs help planning his hospitality cocktail party.

Oh.

I thought we were working on that one together.

You and his wife are old friends, aren't you?

Well, I'll understand. Besides, have you ever tried to be in three places at the

same time? Oh, Einstein said that was impossible. Einstein didn't have my job.

50 on the meter miss oh dear and i thought the economy

was rebounding not at this end here

why don't you hold this as collateral it's worth it hey that bad huh well i'm

not gonna add to your misery the rest is on the house

Oh,

yeah, that's right. I forgot you're not into spectator sports, are you? Just

contact sports, Frank.

Yeah, or just don't try to make any contact with me.

Oh, now you know I've got better taste than that.

So, what'd you do?

I fell asleep.

Aw, no one to tuck you in.

You know, if you ask me, Frank, you should get married again.

I mean, you haven't looked so hot since Sheila took a hike. Hey, me and my ex

get along just fine, thank you.

So do me a favor, Jolie.

Cool it with the dear Abby.

You're not doing so hot yourself.

And I didn't think you cared.

A guy like you ought to settle down. You ought to find yourself a nice woman. A

nice man.

I don't want to hear about that. Oh, Frank, you got a narrow little mind.

Are you two going to take this act on the road?

It's not in the one -night stands.

What can I say?

I brought you the supply list for the private party tonight.

Actually, I love this big lug. Knock that off. I hate that fruity stuff.

Doesn't take a joke too good either.

There's no winning with you, is there, Frank?

Hey, come on, Jolie.

Hey, boy chick, I'm only kidding.

He's temperamental.

Frankly, I don't know what to think.

Mysterious phone calls.

Big excuses and those looks of yours.

Ivy, you're hiding something.

My age, I hope.

Who sent you these?

Oh, just an old friend.

Sure it's not a new one?

Is that jealousy rearing its sweet head? I am very flattered.

Oh, I know that the two of you are good friends. We'll have to talk about this

later, dear. I'm running late.

Or running into his arms?

Gerald, I am your wife.

How can you even think such a thing?

I am meeting Miss Francis to plan your cocktail party. And afterwards?

We could go out together.

I wish I could.

But I have clients coming over.

Don't do anything you'll regret.

How's Elliot doing?

You gotta give your son credit. He's not a quitter.

That band of his is starting to get work.

Believe it or not.

Of course, the money's next to nothing. How much? How much does he need?

Fifty. Keep him in guitar strings.

Tell him to come see his old man.

I haven't seen him in over a month. I miss him.

I miss you too, Sheila.

He'll have that for later.

What's the matter, Frank? You on a diet?

Face is thinner.

I lost a couple of pounds.

Your gallbladder acting up again?

I had my gallbladder out two years ago, remember?

Medicures, I understand.

Maybe you should get a checkup.

Just that one, I'm fine.

I'd be even better if you'd come back.

Come on, Frank, let's not start on this again.

We would have killed each other by now.

At least we're friends.

As long as the alimony keeps coming, right?

No, I'm kidding.

May I help you, miss?

These little peanut butter crackers?

Fifty -five cents.

Oh, isn't this ridiculous? I know. I'll take these, miss, and the crackers for

the young lady.

Certainly, sir.

Would you believe I left all my money in my other purse?

Very human failing. I do it all the time. Enjoy.

Thanks. I'm a major sucker for peanut butter.

I'm sorry I can't offer you some grape jelly.

I know these private parties are rough on the schedule. Oh, no, it's okay. I've

been saving up to go back to school.

Every bit helps.

How about Frank?

Well, you'll have to ask him, but I'm sure he can use the overtime.

Things all right between the two of you? I mean, every time I see you... We're

fighting? No, it's great. I've got my own personal Archie bunker.

Besides, I'll let it go in one ear and out the other.

At least I don't talk about people behind their backs a little. Well, let's

it for Mr.

Congeniality himself.

Everything's a joke with this guy.

Like his life.

No, no, no. Frank's got this thing about gays. It's called prejudice.

Hey, lighten up, Joel. I'm only kidding.

That's just it, Frank. You're always only kidding. It's getting real boring.

Excuse me.

He's oversensitive.

It must be in their genes.

We all have the same genes, Frank.

We all feel pain.

30 years Gerald's been in the business. He started Milburn Glass right after we

were married. You must be very proud of him.

Of course I am, but it's a two -way street, isn't it?

Anyway, let's not skimp on this buffet. What do we got?

Oh, okay.

Let's see.

We have smoked salmon, brie en croûte, steak tartare, pheasant pâté, and

lobster puffs.

Oh, and those marvelous little keys we had last time we were here. They're

Gerald's favorites. Okay.

You got me running ragged today.

How are you two doing? Well, we were just going over the menu for the

Melbourne's party tonight. He gets better looking every time I see him.

Well, I'm going to get this menu down to catering. A pleasure to see you again,

Mrs. Melbourne.

Thank you, Christine.

over dress for the middle of the afternoon.

Could you make sure that the Milburns get this, please?

I'd try one of these little quiche if I were you.

Oh, hi.

Don't tell me you're the caterer, Mr... Milburn.

Of Milburn Glass?

That's me.

I have a feeling you're starving.

No, oh, no, I just skipped lunch.

Are you in giftware or barware?

Pardon? Well, you're here for market week, aren't you?

I guess this wasn't such a good idea.

Forgive me for intruding on your hospitality, Mr. Milburn. I get it.

You're a party crasher.

Well, don't think I'm going to let you off so easily, Miss... Benedict, as an

egg on my face, I'm sorry.

You're not going to let all this go to waste, are you?

Now eat and tell me why someone as lovely as you looks so unhappy.

Let's just say this hasn't been the most memorable day of my life.

Must be something in the air.

Hasn't been one of my best either.

I'm sorry.

Can you stay a while?

I may have a job for you.

What makes you think I'm out of work?

Your stomach gave me a little hint.

You get those two strips and it's only straight up in it? Oh, yeah.

Hey, Doc, what a nice surprise. What brings you around?

Can I get you a drink? Uh, Frank, I tried you a couple of times at home, and

then I had patients all day.

I was just a few blocks away. You okay?

Yes.

Dean.

Maybe this wasn't such a good idea.

It's just that we've known each other for so long. What is it? What's the

matter? Well, I didn't want to just call and have you come in without an

explanation. Frank, can we go someplace more private? It's cancer, isn't it?

I almost wish it was.

I can't go into it in a place like this, Frank, really.

No, what is it? I'm a big boy. Come on.

Don't.

I'm sorry that I have to tell you this, but all the tests indicate acquired

immune deficiency syndrome.

I got AIDS?

I'm afraid so.

Oh, well, that's not possible.

You made some kind of mistake.

That's what I thought, too. That's why I ordered all those extra tests. This is

crazy. You're wrong. You are absolutely wrong.

Because I don't have any gay disease.

I've seen them together a dozen times this week.

Gerald, maybe you're reading her all wrong.

I know my wife.

I haven't figured you out, though.

Landlord sent you packing?

In this dress?

Hardly. A hotel across town is holding my luggage for ransom.

I didn't even have the 65 cents for the peanut butter crackers.

What would you say if I paid your ransom, fixed you up with a room here,

helped you get on your feet?

You and me?

Well, I'm very flattered, but that's hardly a way to win back your wife. I

thinking more in terms of you and her lover.

I may be down on my luck, Gerald, but you can't put a price on my affections.

Oh, wait. Let me finish.

I wasn't talking full -scale seduction.

Just turn his head a little.

Flirt with somebody, that's it.

Make him lose interest in my wife.

And you'll be there to console her.

You must really love her, Gerald.

And I must be out of my mind.

You'll do it. I've always been an incorrigible flirt. Who is he?

See the tall one with the beard? That's him.

That's her lover.

I can't tell you how much I appreciate all this time you're giving me, Peter.

Well, I know how important Market Week is, Ivy.

Besides, Milburn Glass and St. Gregory go back a long way.

Good morning, Mrs. Milburn.

We've met, haven't we? Only from afar.

Tracy Benedict.

Peter McDermott. Oh, my goodness, you're the man who runs this place. Well, this

is a thrill, isn't it, Mrs. Milburn?

Very. I'm sorry I didn't have a chance to chat with you last night.

My husband seemed to have a monopoly on all your time. Such a lovely man.

And he said such wonderful things about you.

Well, I'll let you enjoy your breakfast while I go face my lonely eggs.

Oh, well, that hardly seems fair, does it, Ivy?

Of course not. Thank you.

Why don't you join us, Miss... I'm sorry.

I didn't catch your name.

Benedict. Of course.

As in Arnold.

No,

I'm not. Frank, believe me.

I'm not making a moral judgment.

There are millions of people today... Who are fags, and I'm not one of them.

What the hell is happening to me?

Have you been... Have you been taking anything?

Drugs? An aspirin every night. It's good for my heart. You said so yourself.

I mean intravenously, Frank.

Narcotics. What, like a junkie with a needle? Of course not.

Frank, please, I have got to ask you these questions.

If you didn't get this through sex, and that includes prostitutes, or a

transfusion, or from a needle... Then how did I get it, and how am I going to

get rid of it?

Right now, you can't.

There have been promising developments, but it could be years before they find a

cure. And I don't have years, right?

I'm going to die of some homosexual disease. Is that what you're telling me?

Frank, Frank.

It's a human disease.

It does not discriminate.

There's an immunologist over at the medical center I'd like to see.

I'll set up an appointment.

In the meantime, I'd like you to read this. What?

Everything you didn't want to know about AIDS, but now you have to.

I think it should answer most of your questions.

Yeah, except for the two big ones. Where did I get it, and how much time do I

have left?

Frankly, I'm at a loss to explain it.

From all you've told me about yourself, you're not in any of the high -risk

categories. I'll keep checking, though.

As far as the timetable is concerned, there's just no way of knowing. But you

are already exhibiting some of the early symptoms.

You mean the weight I lost? I needed to lose that weight anyway.

You also complained of... loss of appetite, fatigue, those night sweats

mentioned. That's what happened.

What are you talking about?

I know exactly what happened. I know where I got it.

You still haven't told me why you suspect Peter McDermott.

Ivy and Peter have been spending a lot of time together. Too much time.

The difference between spending time and making time could save you a trip to

Reno.

If Ivy was really having an affair, why would she flaunt it? She's trying to get

back at me.

Have you treated her so badly?

Of course not. We have a good marriage.

Then the three of you should sit down, talk it out.

And give them the satisfaction of knowing how upset I am?

Ivy's making a fool of herself.

And I need you to help her come to her senses.

Gerald, I'm a stranger.

You and Ivy have to face each other.

Maybe we've lost our way.

Maybe I'm to blame. I don't know.

But I love her.

And I don't want to lose her.

I wouldn't even be surprised if he's having an affair with that... that party

girl. Come on, Ivy. I know Gerald.

That's not his style.

Adultery?

It's become very fashionable these days. Every time I turn around, they're

together. The man hasn't had a moment for his family in years. He lives for

glass. He eats for lunch for all I know.

But suddenly, he finds the time to fool around.

I'm sure it's not what you think, Ivy.

You and Gerald have always been able to talk. Go to him.

I've tried, but he's always so busy, you have to make an appointment a week in

advance.

Peter, couldn't you help me?

Find out what they're up to.

Why do this to yourself, Ivy? Gerald loves you.

Well, then this girl won't have anything to hide, especially from someone as

handsome and charming as you.

Come here, you creep.

What the hell's the matter with you? Do you know what you did to me? Do you know

what you gave me? What are you talking about?

I'm talking about life and death.

I got AIDS because of you.

Oh, God, you don't. I mean, you can't. Yeah.

Joke's on me, huh?

We've been working together for how long? Two years? Three?

I don't know how you did it, but you sure made it stick. And I'm going to die

because of you. Hey, Frank, you got that backwards. Maybe I'm going to die

because of you. No, no, no.

Turn it around on me. Now, look, I've had the antibody test twice. I've never

been exposed.

I haven't got it.

There's someone I've got to see. Cover for me, will you? Well, what about all

these messages?

Well, I'll just have to get back to them.

Oh, hi. I was just on my way to...

This is where all those tough executive decisions are made.

Very handsome, Peter. It oozes authority.

Can I get you some... Thanks, but one glass of champagne is usually my limit.

I meant coffee.

Look, uh... Why don't we put our cards on the table?

I'll show you my cards if you show me yours.

I'm sorry. Oh, I knew I'd find you with another man. Who the hell are you?

Someone I have no desire to speak with.

How quickly they resort to violence. You heard the lady. Leave her alone.

Mind your own business, Pop.

Pop? You want a pop?

Here's one to remember me by, Nick.

Nick?

Her fiancé.

How can you do that to us, Frank?

You have a son.

What, are you going to tell him that his father's a character out of Boys in the

Band? What are you talking about, Sheila?

Now it's okay to be gay now that you're admitting it.

What do they call it? Out of the closet?

Into the hospital?

Oh, stop it, Sheila. You're jumping to conclusions.

Hey, Dad, how's it going?

No.

You got a cold or something?

How come you're not in school?

I forgot my English homework.

You guys are cool?

How could you live a lie, Frank?

You think I'm gay? What's the matter with you?

Hey, Pop, we're playing over in Oakland next week.

I told the guys you'd be there. Count on it. Great.

And, uh, thanks for that loan.

I'm on it.

I have to get back to work, Frank.

We'll talk.

I need your help, Sheil.

I don't have anyone else.

You should have thought of that before you started fooling around. I didn't. I

swear. Then how did you get it?

And don't tell me it's a dirty toilet seat because I'm not that stupid.

I never figured you for this.

I thought you'd understand.

How can I, Frank?

We had relations less than a year ago.

Sex is how people usually get it.

And now you're telling me I could be one of them?

What am I supposed to do?

I don't know, hire a referee?

Everything's piling up, I'm not getting a thing done.

All because Ivy Milburn thinks her husband's having an affair.

Is he?

How should I know?

We've got to work this out. I already did, without you.

Tracy, are you all right?

I will be as soon as he gets his hands off of me.

Who are you?

One of your elders.

I believe it. Don't get smart.

Gerald has been very nice to me.

Would you see me safely to the elevator?

Tracy, I don't know what's going on around here, but I'm not giving up.

He wants to marry me.

He's got good taste.

Guess I should apologize.

Do what's best for you, Frank.

You always have.

I just told Sheila.

She thinks I'm one of you guys.

That should be the least of your problems.

I got so many problems, I lost track.

Well, I guess I should tell McDermott.

Because if I don't, somebody else will.

It won't be me.

That's what you're worried about.

My folks didn't raise me to kick a guy when he was down.

You still see your folks?

Sure. All the time.

And they, uh, they know?

Well, we couldn't be close if they didn't.

They don't care.

Why?

Yeah, I'm sure deep down inside they do.

I mean, they would be happier if I were married with kids.

But as long as I'm happy, you know, I don't think it hassles him anymore.

You know, Frank, you never asked me about my family before.

You know, you think you know somebody, and then...

Maybe I just shouldn't expect a damn thing.

Sure. And then I wouldn't be disappointed.

Frank, I'm sorry this happened.

I don't need your pity.

Maybe you don't need anything from anybody.

You want to go it alone? Fine.

Don't let me stop you.

That was sweet of you to invite me for a drink.

I wasn't being sweet.

I was being nosy.

Well, what I want to know is, are you having an affair with Gerald Milburn?

What? That dear man asked me to turn your head, not his.

I thought you were the guilty party.

Guilty of what?

Breaking up a happy marriage.

Gerald thought Ivy and I were.

Well, I wonder who put that in his head. She did.

She did what?

Who did what?

I told you the engagement is off, Mr. Delano.

Finished. Kaput.

What's your part in this, Pop?

Nick. Look, son.

You're bothering the lady and now you're bothering Pop. So why don't you just

take off?

Well, you just remember, Tracy, I can't live without you.

Who else can say that and mean it?

I'm scared of losing my job, you see.

I got this, uh... I got this bug that everybody is talking

about.

The doctor gave me this pamphlet explaining it, you see.

Now... In restaurants, there is no evidence that food handlers and waiters

who carry the AIDS virus prove any risk to the patients. That's what it says

right there.

Oh, Frank, I'm sorry.

Hey, it's not what you're thinking. I'm telling you. That it's contagious?

No. No, that I'm, you know, that I'm homosexual.

I got a kid.

That's your business, Frank.

No, no. See, I'm making it your business now because I am not.

But I just can't lose this job because I don't have any other income. Listen to

me.

No one is firing you.

Okay.

The hotel will stand behind you. I'm sure of it.

Okay. Then you're going to tell Mr. McDermott, Mrs. Cabot, because I

just don't see myself telling them.

Well, if I have your permission, of course.

Yeah.

Do you have any idea how you got it?

No.

It's one of life's great mysteries.

Men are probably dead by the time they solve it.

Sorry I'm running late.

Coffee? Mm -hmm.

Christine has already spoken to Frank Jessup's doctor.

Yeah. At this point, he's in the early stages of the disease.

What the virus does is cripple his body's ability to fight off

infections. What does that mean?

Well, every day we're exposed to germs, organisms we have no trouble resisting.

But when a person gets AIDS, his defense system or immune system no longer

functions properly, leaving him vulnerable to, well, all sorts of

But he doesn't have any infections, does he? No.

So how can he pose a danger to anyone? He can't. Besides, there is no evidence

that opportunistic infections are communicable.

I still can't help worrying.

Every time you turn around, they learn something new about this disease.

Mrs. Cabot, there's no way in the world you can get AIDS from a man who mixes

you a martini.

Franken makes me a martini any day. That's not what I'm getting at.

Is it ethical to let him continue working here?

Victoria, it's unethical to let ourselves get caught up in all this

Not to mention discriminatory.

Especially when there's no evidence to suggest that we're putting anyone at

risk.

Well, the last thing we want is to be part of a witch hunt, I agree.

But the statistics are terrifying.

I mean, if this isn't an epidemic, I don't know what is.

Do you think we should consider asking Frank to take a medical leave?

Wouldn't that be the same as asking him to quit?

Hey, how are you feeling?

Don't worry. I'm not going to drop dead in front of any paying customers.

Hey, kiddo, how's that old time rock and roll? Look who dropped in for an egg

crepe.

You know, that gig in Oakland next week, you don't have to bother coming.

Hey, look, I know I'm your toughest critic. This isn't funny.

Why didn't you tell us you had a problem? Why did you lie to us all those

Lie about what?

Did your mother say something to you today? Because if she did, she had no

right. Who do you think you are talking about rights?

I'm your father, that's who.

And don't mouth off to me like that, especially in my place of business.

Go to hell.

You're no father of mine.

What'd you do, share a dirty needle with another junkie?

God, what's gotten into everyone?

First your mother thinks I'm gay, now you think I shoot up.

How come nobody's saying they feel bad for me or they want to help? Because

nobody wants to help a liar and a hypocrite. That's what... Oh, go ahead,

me. Show me what a terrific father you are, Frank.

You don't get it through sex or blood transfusion.

So what else is left?

I don't know what happened.

I only know that next year or the year after, I won't be standing here

to you insult me.

I really appreciate this, Victoria.

Oh, don't mention it. I know how fond you are of them.

I, uh, I hope it works. It's so much more private here. Maybe they'll, uh,

up to each other. Uh -huh. Hello, you two.

Enjoy your dinner.

Well, uh, how about a little champagne?

None for me, thank you. Me neither.

Peter, you said it would just be you and me.

Really? That's what you told me. A frank man -to -man discussion.

Come on, let's be adults about this.

The chef has prepared a wonderful dinner. We'll have some wine, sort

Whose idea was it to invite him?

Champagne, please.

I'm not going to have dinner with her.

You think I'm going to stay here and be civil to your boyfriend?

Well, I have no intention of having dinner with Delano Plastics.

Who's Delano Plastics?

It must be him.

What's it to you?

I'm Milburn Glass, that's what.

Your family's been trying to put me under for years.

I think this is backfiring, Peter.

What happened to your dinner party?

Nobody liked the seating arrangement.

Still haven't unraveled your mess, huh?

Well, maybe you'll find a solution before they all check out.

That's it.

What's it?

Check out. Of course.

What a brilliant idea.

You know, someday you're going to manage this place.

What'll you do?

Manage you? What else?

Are you going to be okay? Yeah, I'm fine.

fire you, did they?

Maybe not today. Who knows?

Besides, this damn cough is getting to me.

What are you going to do?

I'm just going to stop feeling sorry for myself.

I got health insurance.

If they don't cancel it. You know, Frank, I've been saving up money for

I put off the books this long. What's another couple of months, Frank?

Frank!

Stay with him. I'll call an ambulance.

At least someone was there when it happened.

Billy said he was barely conscious.

It's terrible.

It's terrible, and I've only got a feeling it's going to get worse.

We speak to Frank or to his doctor.

We're not allowing him to quit.

But he's in no condition to work.

Then he'll be on medical leave, which means full salary.

Mrs. Cabot, that's very kind of you.

It has nothing to do with kindness.

It's simply what any loyal employee deserves.

It's a welcome wagon. I figured this would hold up better than bread and

I don't know why you bothered.

You're right. I should have realized it was a waste of time.

Hey, no, I'm sorry. Please, don't go yet.

Must be my classic good looks, huh?

Frank, you're a first -class jerk, but I'm here, so let's not worry about it,

okay?

After all the gritty things I said to you.

Hey, I told you, it goes in one ear and out the other.

Besides, if I needed you, you'd be there for me.

Well, I was a real idiot, Joey. I didn't understand, and I didn't want to

either.

How ashamed.

Sounds like a step in the right direction.

So, where's the ex -Mrs. Jessup? I was hoping to get a free manicure from her.

leaving on my account. Don't flatter yourself. If I don't, who will? Your

boyfriend. How many times do I have to tell you? I haven't got one.

Good morning, Mr. Milburn. We have your bill.

$6 ,407?

That doesn't include the catering. That's disgraceful. There must be a

You're darn right there is.

If there's a problem, we suggest you see the general manager.

Up the stairs, first door on the right.

I can't go with him, Joel.

I'm scared.

He's all alone.

I just can't cope with it.

All those years lying to me, lying to himself.

About what?

Whatever he was doing.

Playing it both ways.

You know, with men.

I don't know which Frank Jessup you're talking about, but the one I know got a

pint of bad blood.

A transfusion. They're pretty sure that's how he got it two years ago when

had his gallbladder out.

No one told him, and Greenblatt wasn't his surgeon. He came in when I was there

and found it tucked away in the hospital records.

But that's not possible. They have a test for blood.

I know.

They do now. Two years ago, they didn't.

But even before the test, it was a million to one that this could happen.

A death sentence for no reason?

But even if he had been fooling around with guys, no one deserves a disease

this. It's not God's punishment, Sheila. It's a virus.

It... It kills little kids, too.

You didn't tell me you were checking out.

That's because I didn't know you were checking in.

What do you expect of me?

My girl walks out in the middle of our engagement party and you think I'm going

to give you up without a fight?

That's all you know how to do, Nicholas Delano. Fight.

You're a big bully. Yeah? Well, at least I'm not afraid of growing up. Excuse

me. The cashier wanted me to give you this.

What is that, the bill?

That's all right. I'll get it.

$1 ,153?

What is this?

I hear they're coming up with new drugs all the time.

As soon as you lick this, there's a job waiting for you. Just remember that.

Will you be sure and tell Mrs. Cabot how grateful I am, will you?

Sure.

Well, we'll just put your cocktail shaker on ice, how's that?

Bye.

I didn't figure I'd see you.

I was scared.

And I'm not?

Confused.

I told you I didn't understand medicine.

What about me?

Did you ever understand me, Jill?

I thought we had something once together.

We did.

You don't stop loving somebody, Frank.

It's just...

Different when you live apart.

You won't be alone.

I promise.

You got some friend in that Joel.

Yeah, he's quite a guy.

Maybe you could find him at night school, you know.

I'm just kidding.

Don't cry, Pop.

You're about to be okay.

As long as you stick with it.

You're going to make it.

You have to.

We're going to be a family again.

We won't let you down.

Will we, Joe?

I've had it with all of you up to here. I am not going to stand here and be

insulted. No one is leaving until we've cleared the air. We'll start with Gerald

and Ivy.

What are we, on trial?

That's one way of putting it.

Gerald, you've been so busy running your business, you've forgotten you have a

wife. And Ivy, you seem to have forgotten I'm your friend.

No, I haven't. Then why involve me in a scheme to win him back?

You did?

You made it all up? I don't believe it.

Believe it, Gerald.

What's your excuse for fooling around with that batman? Careful.

I asked Tracy to float with him.

Who? Me.

Why? Haven't you figured it out yet? He adores you, Ivy.

He does?

You do?

Of course I do.

I always have.

And I promise I'm going to make more time for us, Ivy.

Now, kiss and make up.

Then I'll rewrite your bill.

What about you two?

She's afraid of wedding bells.

Oh, he wants me to become a boring housewife.

You love her?

God, do I.

How do you feel?

I love him, too, but I'm confused.

Then take my advice.

Postpone the wedding and get a job.

I already have.

Mr. Milburn's executive assistant is retiring, and he thinks I have a great

future in glass.

Wait a sec.

What about Milburn Glass and Delano Plastics?

Why not discuss a merger over dinner tonight?

On the house.

Easy, wasn't it?

Where do I start?

Oh, let's see.

You've got 47 phone calls to return, 53 letters to answer.

Come on. Let's talk about how you're going to get it all done over lunch. Oh,

great. I'm starving.

Well, how I'm going to get it all done.
