Wow I just find somebody rich to marry

like he did One easy lesson have to

put up with someone the life of her

Not in your life Ralph as much of

a fool as he is I pity him

for what he had to put up with

the last ten years of being married to

her Well, I guess I better go in

I'm coming miss Scarlett Madam

for my coffee and toast for half an

hour The cook was not the cook was

Oh, it does does it well if Mr.

Burnt toast Tony spent less time in his

room handicapping horses.

He might be less busy Cold Ice I

bought it right up.

You are a liar So, why don't you

pack your things and board a bus back

You're fired.

Oh And why don't you take that pizza

parlour cowboy of a cook with you, but

at my husband.

27 8 9 2 minutes 30 out Coffee

shots all pepper already milk milk milk milk

milk Good cows milk I

Put it down put it down You certainly

took your time Arnold I must say you're

no improvement over that thing I fired This

new woman you employ doesn't do better one

day I'll Probably die from simple lack of

care.

It's almost 9 now.

Her bus will be here at 10.

Perhaps I should go Seem awfully anxious No,

no, I just don't want miss Greco to

feel lost.

I Could send Ralph if you want me

to stay with you now, go ahead Go

ahead I'm a rather anxious to meet miss

Greco myself She's probably some frittery Redhead with

ten thumbs and a bad permanent.

I doubt that Elizabeth The Employment Agency recommended

have very highly and you read her references

stop yammering go Hello,

I'm Arnold Bourdain and I suppose you're miss

Greco.

Sorry.

I'm late.

I Hope you'll be happy here You know,

my wife needed some female attention for some

time someone who can take care of her

needs better than I You understand about her

ailment.

I trust you see it's left a very

weak independent Now you might say that

she requires all sorts of attentions in addition

to her medical care, you know women are

I Certainly hope that you'll like us miss

Greco Well, where'd you get her from Las

Vegas, but nothing of the sort You chose

miss Greco yourself from three resumes supplied by

the employment office I have never seen this

woman before in my life, but you admit

she's pretty perhaps but frankly Elizabeth I didn't

notice who could tell what she looks like

beneath that hat really very well.

We'll let her stay It should be interesting

observing you too, but make no mistakes Arnold

I'll be watching Really you are talking nonsense

nonsense indeed I Know that look Arnold Bourdain

It's the same silly expression you had on

your face the night.

We first met at the Crestwood Cotillion Elizabeth,

please But go on Tell miss Greco she's

hired Never mind I'll tell him Yes,

mrs.

Buddha I Want to be wheeled outside this

morning.

I'd like your help Then I was should

see about mr.

Bourdain's lunch Our former cook had a tendency

to fry everything and Arnold has a delicate

stomach You see I'm not the only one

that needs attention My husband deserves some too

Oh Looks like you're hired yes, may I

take your coat Oh

Mr. Boudin if you're going into town, I

wonder if you'd be good enough to pick

up a few things for me Please call

me on Of course Listen I've got a

good idea.

Why don't you come into town with me?

Do you suppose it would be all right

with mrs.

Bourdain?

Oh, I'm sure oh You are are you?

I

I Oh

brush my hair yes, mrs.

Bourdain Be careful, oh, I'm sorry I Wasn't

talking about my hair.

I was talking about my husband He thinks

he's cute.

Sometimes he even thinks he's clever Do you

think he's cute I've never really thought of

him that way haven't you?

Then how come you're blushing Oh Would

you like some hot chocolate yes, I would

thank you I

love you.

I love you, too But it's hopeless isn't

it Well, it all depends on what you

mean by all this I mean marriage, of

course, oh Isn't that what you meant?

Oh, well ordinarily would be as you know,

I'm well married They're divorce courts.

Hmm.

There are poor houses, too Well, then That's

all there is to it I suppose I

wouldn't say that.

No, what else can it be?

I won't be a backstreet wife Arnold That's

a dreadful romance novel phrase.

I prefer a lover And I prefer a

husband What

do you know about?

pentothelamine That medicine I give her every night.

Mm-hmm.

Yes, I know that it's a strong sedative

She's often so uncomfortable at night.

It helps her to sleep You know about

the proper dosage and all that.

I Know that it's dangerous But an overdose

could affect the brain possibly Cause haemorrhaging even

death naturally, you wouldn't make any mistakes about

overdosing.

Of course not that would be foolish Yes,

it would So easily detectable However, an overdose

wouldn't be detected if administered a bit at

a time That is one extra CC per

day would have the same effect In the

long run, right?

Yes, I believe that's true She would become

weaker every day nasty headaches That's sure to

be a symptom.

Yes, but not necessarily ascribable to the drug.

The difference in the bottle would be hardly

discernible Tell me how long do you think

it would take before she I'm not really

sure take a guess Perhaps two months Well,

that would be June Mr.

Boudon, mr.

Boudon, it's your wife call.

Dr. Ivy You

You know, I don't frankly I'm not sure

that I know exactly What caused Elizabeth's trouble

I?

see See these taxes you've been having they're

not usual in such cases and yet I

can't seem to locate the reason Well, of

course, she's extremely weak.

That's to be expected But her blood pressure

is higher.

That should be Well, tell me doctor, is

there anything that you can do for her?

Well, I've told her to keep to her

bed for a week.

Perhaps.

She's overtired herself but also I'm not happy

about her mental condition She seems to have

some strange notions about Well about miss Greco,

really What sort of notions considering the romantic

pair that you and Elizabeth made Oh Those

years before she fell ill Don't you think

she might be just a little jealous jealous?

Miss Greco is absolutely loyal I'm sure that

if you talk to Elizabeth, she'd admit the

same thing Frankly doctor.

I don't I really don't know how we

got along without her before.

Oh, I know that but it's Something to

be aware of anyway, huh?

Oh By the way, if you should need

me before my next regular visit, just don't

hesitate to call.

Thank you doctor Oh

This is Elizabeth Boda, let me speak to

dr.

Ivy, please I don't care if he's treating

the governor himself You tell him if he's

not here in 15 minutes with some workable

idea to improve the state of my health.

He's fired Understand Arnold

I'm I'm glad I caught you alone Nerves

woman is a bundle of nerves You're gonna

have to watch it very carefully Her condition

is no better by the end of the

week I think we ought to have her

in the hospital for some tests, but you

can't Well, I mean, I mean Elizabeth would

never consent to it.

She'll have to I Can't answer for the

consequences if she doesn't We

must decide we must decide quickly If she

enters the hospital some probing clinical eye might

detect the overdose that's accumulated in her system

We Could do this two ways Either we

ease up on the amount we give her

I've thought of it.

Oh, we finished the job Please

Don't let me interrupt your little cocoa orgy

Arnold you go on get right on with

it Elizabeth you shouldn't have come down here.

I couldn't find my bail Fool doctor put

my bail somewhere.

I had to walk down here But I'm

glad I did I wouldn't miss this for

the world.

This is a pretty picture mrs.

Pudong.

You mustn't think you be quiet I've had

enough of you you understand that Arnold Quite

Enough Elizabeth you're mistaken You know, I know

you Arnold and this is one woman.

You will never lean on again.

I want out of here Tomorrow mrs.

Pudong.

I beg of you.

It won't do you any good Because you're

fired miss Greco If Arnold was my employee,

I'd fire him too But he isn't he's

my husband you understand my husband Now

you come over here and help me You

can carry me upstairs and tomorrow your phone

that agency and we'll get a substitute for

miss Greco only this time I Will interview

myself yes Poor

Arnold There's always been a woman to help

you Now that she's gone you just have

to depend on me your poor invalid wife

Have you done what I told you did

you call the employment agency?

Oh, yes.

Yes.

Yes You'll have three candidates to choose from

this afternoon They've been instructed to arrive at

alternate hours beginning at 2 I think I'll

go to a movie if you don't need

me.

Oh go ahead Be sure to see a

good passionate movie full of passion and pretty

girls But don't forget to hurry home I'll

be waiting Arnold Well,

I see you've hired someone that's right It's

all settled.

I Found the perfect woman.

I'm very glad Elizabeth.

Did they all show up on time?

First two were impossible.

They were so young.

You know how you are around young women

Arnold, but I'm sure that you'll find the

one that I hired most attractive She's in

the kitchen now Why don't you go down

look her over?

You seem to find it amusing don't you

I'm using why should I go down I

Think you'll like her a great deal perhaps

even more than you liked miss Gregor.

Oh Hi does she want me I was

just making some coffee Oh

She gets her medicine at 9 o'clock

you won't forget it.

No, of course not Are you all right?

You don't look well at all.

You understand about the dosage Yes, I understand

one CC above normal, that's right Shouldn't take

long to finish her off now God knows

what's kept her going this long Don't worry

my dear haven't I always taken care of

you.

I Certainly do appreciate this mother

You
