- Ann.

- Hi.

- Dear, it's good to see you.

I missed you, you know that.

After all I haven't seen you since yesterday,

that's almost 24 hours.

I missed you too.

More than you can imagine.

Well, I should hope so.

I could hardly wait until you got here.

I've been so excited all day.

Every minute was like an hour.

I have something to tell you.

You have, what is it?

- First let's go to our spot.

Oh, come on, Steve, what is it?

- This is really very important.

- Oh, you're impossible.

True, but you're stuck with me.

I know, darling.

- You know that I just could do without you don't you, Ann?

That's the way I want it to be, Steve.

That's the way I want it to be with us.

- You just better mean that.

- You know I do.

- There will never be anyone else for me but you, Ann.

There never was anyone else.

My beautiful, beautiful wife.

Don't talk like that.

- Ann, I've got good news for you.

I asked Mr. Duncan for a raise,

and believe it or not he agreed.

He said, yes.

- Oh, oh, that's wonderful.

- Well, we can be together.

As a matter of fact, on my way to meet you

I stopped and paid the first month's rent

on the apartment on connett street

that you like so much.

- For the first time I really feel married.

Well, you insisted on keeping it a secret.

- I told you, it's for effect.

My boss doesn't want married women in the office.

I didn't wanna keep it a secret,

but I really had no choice.

- You can really be a housewife.

- Oh, that suits me fine.

Come on, Steve, let's go.

With my raise we should be able to get along.

We'll have to be careful, but we can manage.

I'll be the most economical wife

in the world, you'll see.

I told the super of the building

that we'd move in a few days, okay?

That's fine.

Let's celebrate.

How about dinner at minnelli's?

0h, Steve, I'm sorry,

I promised Tess that'd be home by eight o'clock.

Really?

Please, Steve, don't be angry with me, I promised.

It's only for another few days

and then we'll be together all the time.

When you put it like that,

what is there for me to say?

- Tess said, "she had to talk to me,"

and, well, I just couldn't let her down.

Please try to understand.

- I do understand.

But I just can't help wanting to be with you.

Darling, I love you very much.

- I love you too, Steve.

- Good, that's what I wanna hear.

I'll call you.

Goodbye. Goodbye.

Hello.

- Hi.

- Well, what's up?

What's the matter, Tess?

- Gosh, I'm glad you got here.

- I told you I'd see you early tonight

and here I am.

Now what is it?

My goodness, Tess, you are nervous.

What's the matter with you?

Why don't you sit down and relax?

- Tess? - Yeah.

- Remember I told you Steve asked for a raise?

Well, he got it.

Isn't that wonderful?

- That's nice.

Why are you so glum?

I thought you'd be really happy for me.

- Of course I'm happy for you.

Now I can tell Mr. Bencet,

I'm married, and quit my job.

What's wrong, Tess?

What's troubling you?

Well, you said you wanted to talk to me.

What is it?

Tell me.

- Well, oh, never mind.

- Suit yourself.

I'm tired.

I'm gonna get ready for bed.

I may as well too.

Tess?

- Yeah.

I wish you'd stay away from Bert

and his filthy rackets, and, and get a decent job.

Oh, please, Ann.

All that Bert can do for you

is get you into trouble.

He's real bad, you know that.

Can't you possibly keep away from him?

- Uh-uh.

Why not?

Why can't you stay away from him?

- How else could I make $200 a week and sometimes more?

But is it worth it?

No lectures please, Mrs. Prim.

Listen, Tess, we've been friends and roommates

for a very long time,

and what you do with your life is your business,

but don't expect me to approve of it.

Oh, I don't expect you to approve of it.

Oh, no, not you.

You said, "you wanted to talk to me,"

that's why I cam home early.

Well, why don't you talk?

I changed my mind.

A woman's privilege, and I don't suppose

you ever did tell Steve what I do for a living.

How shocked he'd be.

No, I never did tell Steve

the truth about what you do.

He thinks you work in the office with me.

- If he did know he'd probably

think I might contaminate you.

- Let's forget it.

I don't wanna quarrel with you, you know that.

Oh, Steve.

Oh, the apartment's even more beautiful

than I remembered it.

Let me look, Steve.

Well, I know that moving into a furnished place

is not what you want,

but just as soon as we can save some money

we can get another apartment,

and we can furnish it ourselves.

- Now never mind.

The place is just lovely.

I'm so excited.

- I'll get the luggage.

You get comfortable.

Is that all right, darling?

- Uh-huh.

I hope the rest of our luggage comes soon.

I wanna unpack and really get settled in our new home.

I will make you happy, Steve.

- I know, I know.

Are you glad we're married?

- Of course.

Well, are you ready to be a housewife?

-I am.

You should have heard Mr. Bencet

when I told him I was quitting because I was married,

and he didn't want married women working in his office.

He was simply furious.

Steve?

Why are you looking at me like that?

- Why?

Because I love you so much.

You're the most wonderful thing that ever happened to me.

- I feel that way too, Steve.

You're so good, so pure.

Oh, Steve.

- I don't think you could ever do anything wrong.

I'm such a lucky guy getting a girl like you.

I just can't believe that you're really my wife.

I'll make you happy, I promise.

- I know you will.

You're wonderful.

- So you finally got here, huh?

- Bert, I must talk to you.

- Forget it, huh.

Nothing you say can interest me, don't you know that?

- Why do I stay with you?

I wish I was strong enough to leave you.

Bert, please.

- Now look here, you better stop all this crazy talk.

I've had enough.

You better cut it out, you hear?

I don't know what's eating you, but I don't like it.

I can't help it.

- By the way.

What now?

Don't forget to be

at the Reno hotel at 11 o'clock.

Jenten's in town.

He's one of our best clients,

and uh, have a little life in you.

All right.

- It's only nine o'clock.

Can't waste two hours.

Come on, baby.

- Ah.

Oh, honey.

Let's sit down.

Ann, are you happy?

- Of course, darling.

- Good.

How would you like that diamond watch,

the one you admired the other day for your birthday?

- What? - I spent all morning

in Mr. Dunker's office.

We were at it hot and heavy.

He's a pretty tough hombre.

But guess what?

I wish you'd stop being so mysterious

and tell me what happened.

What about Mr. Dunker?

- He's making me head salesman.

- Oh, Steve.

- Do you know what that means, Ann?

Oh, I'm so proud of you, darling.

- No more money worries for us.

You can have all the things I've always wanted for you.

I've got great plans for us.

- Oh, that's marvelous.

- Hi.

- I told you not to use the keys.

Why not?

Your girlfriend doesn't live here anymore remember?

But her rent's paid 'til the end of the month.

You never met her.

She's a good girl,

and she wouldn't want the likes of you coming in here.

- Ah.

- If Ann ever finds out you have the keys to this apartment

believe me she'll really blow her stack.

- Cut it out.

I mean it, Bert.

Too bad I've never met this Ann.

Could be she'd go for me like most women do.

- Huh.

- Now I'll tell you what I want you to do.

Get over to the desme twin's apartment right away,

you understand?

I've tried to get 'em on the phone

but they didn't answer.

Sig's having a shindig at his place tonight,

and those weirdos are exactly what he wants.

Ah, you know sig.

- Why don't you go get them?

- Say you're getting pretty snappy aren't you?

I guess I am.

- Get wise to yourself.

I wish I could.

- Come on.

- You know I really must be out of my mind to stay with you.

The desme twins.

Dolly and Daisy.

Dolly wanted to be an actress.

Daisy wanted to be a dancer.

A ballet dancer.

The twins were from a small town in the middle west.

Lucky for me, I met them the day

they arrived in the big city.

They didn't know a soul.

They were very grateful when I offered to,

well, sort of show 'em around.

I knew just as soon as I saw the twins

that they were just what I needed for my business.

I figured with a little persuasion they'd be easy marks.

I decided I'd better act fast.

I'd get to them before

they had a chance to make any friends.

They could do a lot for me,

and I wasn't gonna let 'em get away.

No, sir.

I started with Dolly.

She was a real hot number.

A pushover.

I didn't have any trouble convincing her

that sex was here to stay.

But Daisy, well, she was different.

I think she knew what I had in mind,

and uh, I couldn't get her to see things my way.

Then I asked her to a party.

First she said, no.

But finally she agreed to go with me.

I got her good and high

until she didn't know or care what she was doing.

Then I knew I'd won.

Daisy was working for me too.

I didn't want too many girls working for me.

If a fella had more than four or five girls

it had to mean trouble.

I was smart.

One day at the bus terminal

I noticed a young pretty chick come out.

She looked as though she'd never been

to the big city before.

She didn't seem to know where to go.

I soon took care of that.

Her name was Meg.

I, uh, took her to the twin's apartment.

I knew that they'd be good teachers.

She seemed to be kind of innocent.

But I needn't have worried because from what I could see

Meg fitted right into the picture.

She was gay, lively, and of course very pretty.

My day at the bus terminal had really paid off.

Meg had a boyfriend.

He was from her hometown.

Childhood sweethearts, that sort of thing.

He'd come to the city to ask Meg to marry him

and go back to his farm.

By then Meg knew she wasn't gonna be a farmer's wife,

but, uh, she couldn't hurt him.

After all he'd come a long way from home.

And so she said, "yes, she'd marry him."

John wanted to know how Meg could, uh,

afford such an expensive apartment.

Meg said, "she was staying with some friends

for a while as a guest."

John was making plans for their wedding.

He kept telling her how much he loved her,

and how he'd work for her.

The phone rang, and Meg went to answer it.

I, uh, guess Meg didn't realize her voice would carry

and that John would hear her conversation.

Well, he did hear her.

He heard her make a date with some guy and mention money.

If he hadn't heard the conversation with his own ears

he never would have believed it.

When Meg came back to the couch John was furious.

After all that he'd planned.

And after that big trip to the city.

It hadn't been easy getting away from the farm.

And now to find this.

“Why he just couldn't believe it," he said.

Why Meg had been his big dream

from the first moment he'd seen her at the barn dance.

Even when she left for the big city

he hadn't stopped thinking about her.

Meg tried to explain, but John actually went berserk,

and told her what he thought of her.

- Whore!

I must have been dreaming.

Who are you?

What are you doing here?

I came to see Meg.

I said some terrible things to Meg

and I want to apologize.

- You must be Meg's hayseed boyfriend.

Meg isn't interested in you,

but we are.

Hey, stop!

What are you doing?

All I wanna do is speak to Meg.

- What are you girls up to anyway?

Dolly, Daisy.

Can't you see we're busy?

- Bert wants you to go to sig's tonight.

Ow.

- You better be there.

And if we're not?

- Well, you know Bert.

Hey.

- Ow.

- Ah.

I thought you were asleep.

I never sleep.

Did you speak to the twins?

- Yeah, they were so busy with some dumb John,

I doubt they even heard me.

- Then you didn't get 'em?

That's right.

You can't do anything right can you?

- Hmm, not a bad meal that we just had.

Uh, but I'm getting pretty tired of spaghetti and meatballs.

- Well, that's just too bad.

Hmm.

I think I'm a pretty good cook,

and you'd better think so too.

Just like a man, no appreciation for all of my hard work.

- You're so sweet.

- Darling. - Boy, you're beautiful.

- You're mad.

But I like you that way.

What's the matter?

- I don't know.

I can't catch my breath.

- You better lie down.

I'll call the doctor.

Take it easy, Steve.

There's a doctor in this building.

I have his phone number.

I'm gonna call the doctor.

I'll be right back.

Is the doctor in?

Oh, thank goodness.

This is Mrs. Bundy.

I'm in your building, apartment 25.

My husband suddenly became ill.

Please come right over.

Thank you.

Let me make you comfortable.

That must be the doctor.

- Now would you mind leaving the room, Mrs. Bundy?

Thank you.

- Poor Steve.

What could be wrong?

I've never known him to be ill.

Not in the three years that I know him.

If anything ever happened to him I,

I couldn't go on without Steve.

Oh, why am I thinking like this?

Doctor, how is he?

- Sit down I wanna talk to you.

Your husband's a pretty sick man.

- What do you mean a pretty sick man?

I have some tests to make then I'll talk to you.

- Please will he get well?

- With the proper care he should be up and around

in about five or six months.

- Do you think he should be hospitalized?

- Oh, no, I don't think it's necessary.

I'll take good care of him.

I know you will,

but it may be too difficult for you.

I'll manage somehow.

Perhaps you should get a nurse.

It may be too much for you.

No, no, I'll manage.

Well, we can give it a try.

- Will you come by every day?

- Yes, I'll come by every day.

- Thank you very much, doctor.

Now, now, that's all right.

I can't tell you how much

I appreciate your kindness.

- That's all right.

Well, I have to go now.

I'll be in to see your husband in the morning.

In the meantime he's to get plenty of rest.

Of course.

Thanks again.

Goodbye, doctor.

- Goodbye.

- Oh.

What am I going to do?

We don't have any money,

and there will be doctor bills,

and all kinds of medical bills.

What can I do?

I suppose I can get a job,

but what will I earn?

It will take much more than I can earn a week

to pay all the expenses while Steve is sick.

Oh, what can I do?

How else could I make $200 a week?

How else could I make $200 a week?

Ann?

Ann?

I'm coming, dear.

- I'm sorry, Ann.

- Don't be silly, darling.

Look, I can get my old job back again.

It's only for a few months.

What a lousy break for you, Ann.

- Please, Steve, you must be quiet.

- Just when things looked so good.

I really thought we had it made.

I know it's going to be rough for you, Ann,

but I'll make it up to you.

You'll see.

Be quiet.

Shh.

Well, here I am.

- So I see, it's about time you got here.

- Oh.

- I told you to be here at two o'clock.

Next time I tell you to do something

you better do it, understand?

I've had some complaints about you, Tess.

What's the matter?

The boys tell me you're acting kind of strange.

What's up?

Beater's entertaining at his club tonight

down on bleen street.

Now you go there with what's her name?

The, the new girl.

You'll, uh, have to give her some pointers

because, uh, because she's new at this.

Uh, just don't try to be funny.

This new dame looks pretty good to me.

I think she'll be okay.

There she is now.

Hello there, honey.

Tess here will show you the ropes.

- Oh, my.

You're going with her to meet beater.

He's a real right guy.

One of our most important clients.

He's a big spender, so you better have some oomph in you.

And you too, Tess.

Do you understand?

Oh, I sure do.

Is that you, Ann?

- Oh, are you awake, Steve?

I thought I heard you.

- I just looked in on you, and you were sound asleep.

Yeah, it seems as though that's all I do, sleep.

Well, the doctor said,

"you were suppose to get plenty of rest."

It's the only way you'll get well.

You were out all afternoon.

How'd you do?

- Mr. Bencet's giving me my old job back.

- Even though he knows you're married?

When I explained the situation

he said, "he would make an exception in my case."

But I'm going work nights.

Nights, why?

If I work nights it will only be for a few hours.

I can take care of you during the day.

Damn.

I never thought anything like this could happen to me.

Here I am flat on my back,

and you have to work and at night too

to take care of me.

You'll be well soon.

What does bencet want you to work nights for?

- He has special briefs

that I can type and correct at night.

I can make $200 a week.

$200 a week?

- I'll be working at different places each night.

You won't be able to phone me.

I'll have to call you.

I don't understand.

- Oh, please, Steve, stop that kind of talk.

- Don't be startled, my dear.

Come in and sit down.

I won't hurt you.

Don't be frightened.

Would you like a drink?

Yes, I would.

Here you are, my dear.

Thank you.

You're staring at me.

- The mask, why?

The mask, oh, you see I'm a public figure.

- Oh.

I don't want to be recognized.

- I see.

Do you my dear?

I wonder.

Who are you?

Do we ever really know who we are?

Let us say that I'm just a man.

A very lonely man

looking for a little happiness, little laughter.

Where does one find this?

Do you know the secret?

But enough of this talk.

You came here for a purpose.

Let us go into the other room.

This tie is uncomfortable.

I must remove it.

You're shivering.

Why?

You're so strange.

- Man is always strange.

Don't you know that man never really knows who he is?

He's always a stranger himself.

You're very beautiful, my child.

No!

Why you're.

You shouldn't have done that, my dear.

Hello, honey.

- What time is it?

Must be very late.

- I'm sorry, honey, I didn't realize it was so late.

I had to finish some important briefs for my boss.

Must you work half the night?

I get so lonesome here by myself.

- How do you feel, dear?

- Fine.

But I feel so useless.

Here you are working for me

when it should be the other way around.

I should be working for you.

- I hate to leave you alone like this, but what can I do?

- I should be grateful instead of always complaining.

Hey, what is that?

Is that a Mark on your face?

- Oh, I probably bumped into something.

Ann, what's bother you?

I know something's wrong.

What is it?

- Don't be silly.

- Well, what's wrong?

- Nothing.

I'm gonna get you something to drink.

- Come on in.

- Hello. - Hello, there.

I thought you weren't coming.

Close the door.

Well, the traffic was heavy.

- Sit down. - Thanks.

Come on, make yourself comfortable.

You know what they say better late than never.

That's right.

I was just going down

to play cards with they boys.

I thought you weren't coming.

But, uh, who wants to play a game of cards

when you play a little game with you, huh, baby?

Oh.

You're quite a gal.

All my life I've been a pushover for blondes.

Say, what if I turn off the lights

and make it sort of romantic, huh?

Sure.

How about taking

some of those clothes off huh, baby?

Why not?

Boy, you are really stacked.

I bet you say that to all the girls.

I don't know all the girls.

- Oh, go on.

- Why you little tramp.

I'll just give you something to remember me by.

- Sorry.

Please.

Please.

Suppose you got a sick baby to take care of.

A baby.

- Okay, darling, come on.

It's time for your medicine.

How do you expect to get well?

Now open your mouth.

- That's vile tasting stuff.

Why do I have to take that concoction?

- Don't be a big baby.

There that wasn't too bad was it?

- You're wonderful, Ann.

Oh, now, Steve, be quiet.

Right now i-

- Darling, please.

I know how unhappy you are because of my working,

but soon you'll be well again,

and then I can go back to being a dull old housewife.

You'll see.

You're being so understanding

about the fact that I work nights.

Now wasn't I right about working at night?

I'm only gone a few hours,

and I can spend the entire day with you.

- I love you, Ann.

- I love you too, Steve.

And here comes-

- come on! - Big baby going down-

- come on! - The homestretch.

Bert.

- Come here, baby.

- Bert, let's get married.

- You must be nuts.

You know marriage is not for me.

Marriage is for everyone.

Maybe for everyone else, but not for me.

- Bert, I'm gonna have a baby.

- What?

- I'm gonna have a baby.

- Well, get rid of it!

- I want this baby.

You're crazy.

Let go of me!

- Bert, listen to me.

- You know who the father is?

- You.

We can get married, get out of town, start all over again.

- Why pick on me?

You must have been with a million men.

- Bert, please listen.

- What are you trying to pin on me?

You little tramp.

I'll fix you, you'll see.

- What's happening to me?

What have I become?

How does this end?

Where does this end?

Come on in.

Hello, Ann.

- Tess, how nice to see you.

Sit down.

How about some coffee?

Thanks, I'd like some very much.

Make it good and strong.

I haven't eaten all day.

- Would you like something to eat?

No, just coffee.

- Here.

Ann?

- Yes.

- I feel pretty silly coming here like this

after the way I acted in Bert's office and.

- Oh, that's all right.

And then at the club, I didn't even talk to you.

- I understand.

- Ann, I'm in trouble.

- I don't understand.

What do you mean you're in trouble?

- Oh, I can't talk about it.

I wanna, but I just can't.

Look at me, I'm half undressed

because some guy pays me to take my clothes off.

And this is the way

I've been living for the past five years.

- I'm no better than you are.

- I just can't go on any longer.

What are your plans?

- I don't know.

But I'm gonna leave town.

- Don't do anything foolish, Tess.

What difference does it make?

Nothin' really matters.

I've made such a mess of everything.

I've got to leave town.

- Where will you go?

I don't know.

I just don't know.

There's no place for me.

- Tess, what is it?

You can tell me.

Please tell me what's wrong.

- I can't.

- Has it anything to do with Bert?

I don't wanna hear his name again ever.

I thought so.

- I'm scared, really scared.

I come here to talk to you

and then I just don't say anything

about what the trouble is.

I'm ashamed.

Oh, what's the use?

- Tess.

- Operator, get me the police.

Police, I wanna report a,

well, a place where you can hire girls for the night.

Who operates the place?

His name is Bert angelette.

Who am I?

Oh, I'm just one of those girls.

The address?

The address is 15 b street.

- Hello.

Yes.

All right, Bert.

Hold on.

I'll write the address down.

I've got it.

159 tenna street.

Okay.

- Hello, Steve.

Hello, doc.

- Hmm.

You know I'm really pleased with you.

I've got good news for you.

It's amazing, but you certainly have made a fast recovery.

- Doctor, that's marvelous.

- You're as good as new.

- Gee, that's great.

- You can get out of bed,

but you must take it easy for a while.

- I can hardly wait to tell Ann.

I'll look in on you tomorrow.

- Thank you, thank you.

Another day, another man,

and every day is like another.

- Well, here it goes.

This is where Ann must be working tonight.

Say I've got an idea.

Hmm, this is it.

It isn't possible.

It just isn't possible.

No, I don't believe it.

- I've had enough.

I can't go on with this kind of life any longer.

I really will ask my old boss for my job back again.

When I explain I know he'll take me back.

Somehow I'll manage 'til Steve gets well.

Steve?

Oh, Steve.

What have you done?

Oh, Steve.

Oh, god.

Steve.

I did it for you.

I did it for you.
