The Incredible Hulk (1978) s03e21 Episode Script
Equinox
I've made up my mind.
You're going to stay for the party.
Diane, if he really has to go I said he's staying! Welcome, to the vernal equinox.
The day when I leave the underworld and take my place again among the living.
Here's the man who tried to kill me.
Help me! Somebody! Please, help me! It's over, John.
Take off the mask.
Dr.
David Banner, physician, scientist.
Searching for a way to tap into the hidden strengths that all humans have.
Then, an accidental overdose of gamma radiation alters his body chemistry.
And now, when David Banner grows angry or outraged, a startling metamorphosis occurs.
The creature is driven by rage and pursued by an investigative reporter.
Mr.
McGee, don't make me angry.
You wouldn't like me when I'm angry.
The creature is wanted for a murder he didn't commit.
David Banner is believed to be dead.
And he must let the world think that he is dead until he can find a way to control the raging spirit that dwells within him.
Hey! They don't pay me enough to pick up after big, green guys! Excuse me! Take me back.
Mr.
Belden, what happened? I was mugged.
Now, you just take me back, all right? Are you okay? Yeah, I'm fine, look Don't you want to call the cops? No, no.
Please, let's just go.
But what about our supplies? Don't worry about them, I'll get them later.
Now let's get back.
Okay.
You're the boss.
There's a blanket on the seat you can use.
Oh, Pierce.
You haven't changed that south room furniture yet.
I want that old junk out, and I want it done for the party tomorrow.
Some of the guests will be spending the night.
Yes, Miss Powell.
What shall I do with the old furniture? I don't care.
Burn it.
Oh, and Pierce You've been messing up again.
How's that, Miss Powell? Well, sometimes, with my friends you act a little chummy, like they're your friends.
Try and remember you're not in the 90º/º bracket.
Do you know what I mean? I'll try to be more careful, Miss Powell.
That's all.
Allan! You kinky boy.
Spying on me.
You get your kicks in the strangest ways.
Why aren't you spending more time with me? Well, you know I've been busy with stuff for the party.
Well, I came out here to see you.
If I can't do that, I might as well Play tennis, go sailing.
Enjoy yourself, you're a big boy.
Diane, I don't understand your attitude at all.
I thought we had something.
We did.
We had a fabulous time in St.
Thomas.
Diane? Allan, you look great in a swim suit.
Diane, Mary has enough to kill me in a custody hearing.
I'm risking a hell of a lot with you.
Because you mean a hell of a lot to me.
Oh, Allan, that's really sweet, but I just put my make-up on and I don't want to have to do it again, okay? Diane You really understand dear old Dad's work, don't you? When I hired a librarian, I didn't know I'd get a scientist, too.
Are you a geneticist? No, no, it's just a hobby.
But if I were given a choice, I could spend years in here.
Your father was the best.
Maybe as a test-tube man.
As a father, I really wouldn't know.
He was never around.
Dear old Dad's will said I had to keep this library going in order to get my inheritance.
If it was up to me, I would have burned these books.
Every last one of them.
Come in here with a flamethrower and But enough fantasies.
You know, David, you've avoided socializing with us long enough.
I'd like you to have dinner with us tonight.
I'm sorry, I can't.
Yes, you can.
My cousin Donald's just back from Europe.
I think he was at some film festival or something trying to pass himself off as a producer.
Oh, I'm afraid that I have to leave.
Something's come up.
Something very personal.
You can't leave.
You'll miss my masquerade party tomorrow.
Celebration of the vernal equinox.
Coming of spring and all that jazz.
It's the big bash of the season.
And I'd stay, but I can't.
Well, at least you can stay for dinner.
Well, I had planned on leaving as soon as I'd straightened everything out.
David, it's only a couple of hours.
Right after dinner, Pierce will take you back to the mainland.
It's the least you can do for not giving notice.
Well, thank you.
But this is all I have to wear.
We're loose.
Wear what you have on, if that's as loose as you can get.
Funny, can't seem to remember.
Well, it was just a couple of hours ago.
You took a man out in your boat.
Well, when you get old, your memory starts to leave you.
Sometimes, you forget things that happened just a few minutes ago.
I sure am thirsty.
Too bad I ain't got anything on board.
Oh, maybe I could help you out with that.
Just possibly a drink.
Might jog your memory.
Well, I do seem to remember something now.
Yeah, fellow's name is Belden.
Belden? Yeah.
Has he been around here long? Couple weeks.
And I'll tell you, he's some kind of odd.
How so? Well, he'd come on board shirt all ripped, no shoes.
Said he was mugged.
But something was off.
Where'd you take him? Powell Island.
He works there.
Powell Island? Yeah, Powell Island, private estate.
Did you say Powell? Yeah.
Powells were big in shipping.
Uh, Diane Powell owns it now.
Could you take me there? I told you, it's a private estate.
Can't just take someone there.
Yeah, but Maybe you could reconsider.
Nope, can't risk it.
Oh, Miss Powell If she found out, she wouldn't throw me no more work.
You know, too bad you ain't got an invite to her party.
Party? Yeah.
Costume party tomorrow night.
She throws one every year.
If I can come up with an invitation to this party See, you wouldn't even have to take me out to the island.
Just near it.
Well, I'll take you as close as I can.
Cannes was a drag.
The weather was dreadful.
The parties and the screenings were even worse.
Especially those Eastern European collective farm films.
Carlo and I nearly fell asleep at one.
Boy meets tractor, etc But to die.
On the other hand, things are looking very good for my picture.
There's a possibility of some Canadian money and Warren has said that Well, anyway, Diane, I was feeling very lonely for you and the old homestead.
It's good to be back.
Oh, I'm very touched, Donny.
Let me translate this for you David.
Donald hated the parties 'cause he was never invited to the right ones.
He went to the Eastern European films, 'cause he doesn't have the pull to get the tickets for the hot screenings.
And no one has the slightest interest in this tacky little film that Donald wants to make.
So, he's come home to hit me up for financing.
It is not a tacky little film.
It is socially significant.
Donald, no one in the '80s is going to pay good money to see a movie about Now, David, get this, a drug-crazed killer in a hippie commune.
You know, Diane, if the tables were turned and the money were on my side of the family, I'd at least be decent about it.
Decent? You shouldn't complain, Donald.
I take very good care of you.
I give you free room and board.
I could have you helping Pierce with the dishes.
Would you like that, Pierce? Whatever you say, Miss Powell.
Diane Why don't we go to the mainland after dinner? I know a disco there.
We haven't been dancing in a long time.
Oh, Allan, you'd absolutely drive me bananas, mooning over me with those stray-dog eyes of yours.
Besides, I'm too upset to boogie.
David's leaving tonight.
He's going to miss my party.
All my terrific decorations.
Isn't that a shame? If he has to go It's a shame.
Don't you think it's a shame, Donald? Absolutely, Cos.
Good boy.
David, I've made up my mind.
You're going to stay for the party.
Well, I'm afraid that's just not possible.
As a matter of fact, I should prepare to leave now.
Thank you very much for the dinner.
If you'll excuse me.
David, I said I made up my mind.
You're staying.
I can't.
Are you gonna swim? Diane, if he really has to go I said he's staying! Don't you think he should stay, Donald? Absolutely, Cos.
Carlo? He doesn't speak English.
Of course he does.
Carlo? Well, terrific.
Then we all agree.
Ciao, everybody.
It really will be a fun party.
Try and enjoy yourself.
Wouldn't waste my time going to the boat dock.
I got the keys.
Pierce, I need help.
I work for Miss Powell.
The Pierces have always worked for the Powells.
And let me tell you, the Powell women get their way.
Always have.
Miss Diane wants you to stay for the party.
I'm gonna see she gets what she wants.
That's just the way it is.
Care for a slice, Mr.
Belden? No, thank you.
Don't blame you.
Crop wasn't too good this year.
A bit on the tart side.
Come on in.
David.
I thought you might drop by, to say good night.
Why are you doing this? I don't know.
Something about you interests me.
You have a mind, a real mind.
That's a change from most of the guys I know.
But it's not just the brains or the looks, which I kind of like, too.
You're quiet.
What do they say? "Still waters run deep.
" I want to know you.
You're very attractive.
That doesn't change things.
Who the hell do you think you are? Tell me, David.
What is so important that you have to leave the island? I've already told you.
It's a personal matter.
Oh, I just love secrets.
I bet you need money.
I'll pay you if you tell me.
How about $100? Not enough, huh? How about $150? How about $150,000? It must be nice having all that money.
Takes the place of so much.
Good night.
You'll see the house as soon as you get off the beach.
Right.
And just remember, if you get caught, you don't know me.
I never saw you in my life.
Carlo! Carlo! Carlo! Need a costume, Mr.
Grable? No, thank you, Pierce, I have one.
I just haven't felt like putting it on yet.
Diane! We're all waiting.
Diane! You look terrific! Of course, I look terrific.
I always look terrific.
Hi! Get lost.
Swell talking to you.
Hey, hey, hey, guys, what do you know, what do you say? Hey, you look terrific.
Fantastic costumes.
You know, I think that I have guessed the identity of every person here.
Except you.
Who would you guys think that is anyway? We were just wondering ourselves.
Must be somebody new.
You see, we've got everyone else pegged except this one, and you.
Me? Oh, you're never gonna guess who I am.
But now let's see who, who, is this? Dickie Harger? No, Frank Montejano.
No? Well, then you just about got me fooled.
Who can this be? I fooled you, didn't I? Oh, come on, admit it, I fooled you, didn't I? Go on Yeah, you fooled me.
You certainly did.
Welcome to the vernal equinox, the advent of spring.
The day when I, Persephone, leave the underworld and take my place again among the living.
Give no thought to tomorrow, friends.
It will be glorious springtime! The harsh winter is behind you.
Indulge yourselves as you will.
You have Persephone's blessing.
As if you ever needed it.
Hi.
She really knows how to throw a party, doesn't she? Leave me alone.
Oh, come on, come on Where's your party spirit? You heard our hostess.
Now, let me see, who can this be? I said, leave me alone! You're missing the fun.
As long as you're here, you should try and enjoy yourself.
Sometimes, David, maybe I go a little overboard.
It's only because You can leave, with the last guest.
Now will you join the party? I don't much care for the company.
That's some party in there.
You haven't got a costume? No.
Why don't you scare one up, have yourself a few laughs? Yeah.
McGEE: John Doe.
John? It's useless, you know.
You might as well give up.
Wow! That is a fantastic outfit.
What are you supposed to be? Is that real? Looks real.
Wow, it is real.
Hey, you take off that crazy face and we can have a good time.
You want to dance? Why does everyone keep doing that? The rest is real, too.
How about that dance? Oh, well, we don't have to dance.
Hey, how would you like to go out and use the hot tub? Hey! Oh, it's you! Hey, would you like to dance? Not now! Oh, come on! Why is it that you guys are so shy? Disco's not that hard.
Really, come on, let me show you.
Another time, all right? Oh, come on.
Really, it's a lot of fun! Oh, well, all right.
We don't have to dance.
Hey, how would you like to go out and use the hot tub? Three years.
Don't move.
It's over, John.
Take off the mask.
Mr.
McGee Mine is not a happy life.
All I want to do is get rid of the creature.
Why won't you leave me alone? From the beginning, no one's believed me.
You are my vindication.
And you'll be destroying me.
I will be stopping an uncontrollable and dangerous force.
The creature saved your life, more than once, you know that.
The creature is also responsible for taking lives.
I was there, at the laboratory fire.
He killed David Banner and Elaina Marks.
No! No, no, no.
Elaina died in the fire, not the creature.
He tried to save her.
You'll have every chance to prove that in a court of law.
Take off the mask.
Will you shoot me? It's only an anesthetic.
Curare.
You'll only be out a little while.
Curare's a deadly poison.
If you have enough there to subdue the creature, you could kill me.
Take off the mask! Take it off! Mr.
McGee, you're risking bringing out the creature in me.
Now please Please, stay back.
You know what could happen.
The mask! Attention, revelers! Oh, Father Zeus, and Mother Demeter, it is now midnight and time for your Persephone to return to the world of light.
Farewell, Pluto.
Farewell to the dead.
See you next season in Puerto Vallarta.
It is I who bring your fields to life.
Will you not give thanks? Once again, this year, you will be richly rewarded for your faith.
Help me! Help me! Somebody please! Help me! Somebody Help me! Thank God.
I'll be all right.
Go back to the party.
I didn't mean to startle you, but I have to get off the island.
I have to get off it right now! Stay where you are.
Miss Diane, you all right? I couldn't find you.
I'm fine, Pierce.
Here's the man who tried to kill me.
Diane, I don't know what happened here.
I just wanted to talk to you and that's all.
Did you have to hide in my room to do that? Well, I wanted to speak to you in private.
You never wanted to see me in private before.
I should have figured.
Quitting like you did.
Your quietness, holding back Things that made me think you were deep.
You're just sick.
Why, because I wouldn't play along like Donald and Allan? Back up.
Diane, just look around.
The way that you treat people, I'm sure there are several here tonight with better motives than I.
And you know that yourself.
You can save your dime-store analysis for the police.
They'll be here soon.
Now get in.
I'll take the key, Pierce.
I guess that's that.
I'd better call the police.
What if he isn't the one? Maybe there's something in what he said, about the others here.
Am I that bad, Pierce? I'm sure I wouldn't know, Miss Powell.
I, uh Fixed up the south room.
Would you like to check it? I'm not sure if it's the way you want it.
Oh, all right, why not? Diane, may I speak to you for a moment? Allan, I'm busy.
Please.
All right.
Pierce, I'll have to check that later.
Yes, Miss Powell.
You may go, Pierce.
All right, Allan, what is it? I haven't had a chance to be with you all night.
And then, after what happened, I was so worried.
Excuse me, guys, have you seen a man around here in a dark sort of costume? What? It was a dark top, black tights, boots Do I know you? Uh, no, I don't think so.
Oh, another friend of Diane's? Diane's? No, see, my name is McGee.
I'm a reporter Reporter? Look, I told the press at Cannes that I've got the financing for my film all sewed-up.
So why don't you just leave me alone? No, I don't think you understand.
Don't I? Pierce! Yes, sir, Mr.
Donald.
I don't believe this man has got an invitation.
May I see your invitation, please? Yeah, well, they took it off me at the dock.
No, sir.
Oh, come on, Pierce, you remember me.
I'm a friend of Diane's.
I'll have to see your invitation.
Pierce.
Diane would be chagrinned indeed if she saw you questioning me in this fashion.
Your invitation? See, I'm a reporter.
And I'm covering all of this for the society pages of my paper.
You know how these jet-set types like to see their names in the papers.
You'll have to leave the island.
Oh, that's gonna be a little hard, Pierce.
I haven't got a boat.
Another man is leaving the island with the police.
You can join him.
Please, come with me.
Uh, listen, Pierce, maybe we could come to some sort of an arrangement.
Surely, a man of your sort could use a couple of extra bucks.
If I have to send for help, it could be embarrassing.
Okay.
Allan, what do you want? I'm losing my family.
I can't afford the alimony.
Why can't you be different? Allan, I didn't ask you for anything.
So be a good boy.
Give me a kiss and let's go back to the party.
Diane, the way you treat people They can only stand so much.
Oh, I see! So you don't like the way I behave either.
Well, fine.
Tell me you've had your fill and I'll be happy not to put up with this.
Oh, I've had my fill all right.
Terrific! I gave up everything, for nothing! Diane! Diane, what's happening? David! Diane, what is it? Diane! Help! It's all right.
It's all right.
I couldn't get your papers from the library, David.
That man McGee was there.
If you send me an address, I'll mail them to you.
All right, I'll try to.
David, I'm I don't know exactly what happened back there.
But I do know that you saved my life.
I want to thank you for that.
And I want to apologize.
Apology is accepted.
I haven't done that in a long time.
That wasn't so hard, now, was it? No, not at all.
Good.
David, some of the things that you said to me Well, you know.
I know.
David, is there anything I can do for you? Money? No, but if the police or Mr.
McGee want to know anything about me, the less they know, the better.
Okay.
Thank you.
You're going to stay for the party.
Diane, if he really has to go I said he's staying! Welcome, to the vernal equinox.
The day when I leave the underworld and take my place again among the living.

My cousin Donald's just back from Europe.
I think he was at some film festival or something trying to pass himself off as a producer.

You can't leave.

Can't just take someone there.
Yeah, but Maybe you could reconsider.
Nope, can't risk it.
Oh, Miss Powell If she found out, she wouldn't throw me no more work.
You know, too bad you ain't got an invite to her party.
Party? Yeah.
Costume party tomorrow night.
She throws one every year.
If I can come up with an invitation to this party See, you wouldn't even have to take me out to the island.

Good boy.
David, I've made up my mind.
You're going to stay for the party.
Well, I'm afraid that's just not possible.
As a matter of fact, I should prepare to leave now.
Thank you very much for the dinner.
If you'll excuse me.
David, I said I made up my mind.
You're staying.
I can't.
Are you gonna swim? Diane, if he really has to go I said he's staying! Don't you think he should stay, Donald? Absolutely, Cos.
Carlo? He doesn't speak English.
Of course he does.
Carlo? Well, terrific.
Then we all agree.
Ciao, everybody.
It really will be a fun party.
Try and enjoy yourself.
Wouldn't waste my time going to the boat dock.
I got the keys.
Pierce, I need help.
I work for Miss Powell.
The Pierces have always worked for the Powells.
And let me tell you, the Powell women get their way.
Always have.
Miss Diane wants you to stay for the party.
I'm gonna see she gets what she wants.
That's just the way it is.
Care for a slice, Mr.
Belden? No, thank you.
Don't blame you.
Crop wasn't too good this year.
A bit on the tart side.
Come on in.
David.
I thought you might drop by, to say good night.
Why are you doing this? I don't know.
Something about you interests me.
You have a mind, a real mind.
That's a change from most of the guys I know.
But it's not just the brains or the looks, which I kind of like, too.
You're quiet.
What do they say? "Still waters run deep.
" I want to know you.
You're very attractive.
That doesn't change things.
Who the hell do you think you are? Tell me, David.
What is so important that you have to leave the island? I've already told you.
It's a personal matter.
Oh, I just love secrets.
I bet you need money.
I'll pay you if you tell me.
How about $100? Not enough, huh? How about $150? How about $150,000? It must be nice having all that money.
Takes the place of so much.
Good night.
You'll see the house as soon as you get off the beach.
Right.
And just remember, if you get caught, you don't know me.
I never saw you in my life.
Carlo! Carlo! Carlo! Need a costume, Mr.
Grable? No, thank you, Pierce, I have one.
I just haven't felt like putting it on yet.
Diane! We're all waiting.
Diane! You look terrific! Of course, I look terrific.
I always look terrific.
Hi! Get lost.
Swell talking to you.
Hey, hey, hey, guys, what do you know, what do you say? Hey, you look terrific.
Fantastic costumes.
You know, I think that I have guessed the identity of every person here.
Except you.
Who would you guys think that is anyway? We were just wondering ourselves.
Must be somebody new.
You see, we've got everyone else pegged except this one, and you.
Me? Oh, you're never gonna guess who I am.
But now let's see who, who, is this? Dickie Harger? No, Frank Montejano.
No? Well, then you just about got me fooled.
Who can this be? I fooled you, didn't I? Oh, come on, admit it, I fooled you, didn't I? Go on Yeah, you fooled me.
You certainly did.
Welcome to the vernal equinox, the advent of spring.
The day when I, Persephone, leave the underworld and take my place again among the living.
Give no thought to tomorrow, friends.
It will be glorious springtime! The harsh winter is behind you.
Indulge yourselves as you will.
You have Persephone's blessing.
As if you ever needed it.
Hi.
She really knows how to throw a party, doesn't she? Leave me alone.
Oh, come on, come on Where's your party spirit? You heard our hostess.
Now, let me see, who can this be? I said, leave me alone! You're missing the fun.
As long as you're here, you should try and enjoy yourself.
Sometimes, David, maybe I go a little overboard.
It's only because You can leave, with the last guest.
Now will you join the party? I don't much care for the company.
That's some party in there.
You haven't got a costume? No.
Why don't you scare one up, have yourself a few laughs? Yeah.
McGEE: John Doe.
John? It's useless, you know.
You might as well give up.
Wow! That is a fantastic outfit.
What are you supposed to be? Is that real? Looks real.
Wow, it is real.
Hey, you take off that crazy face and we can have a good time.
You want to dance? Why does everyone keep doing that? The rest is real, too.
How about that dance? Oh, well, we don't have to dance.
Hey, how would you like to go out and use the hot tub? Hey! Oh, it's you! Hey, would you like to dance? Not now! Oh, come on! Why is it that you guys are so shy? Disco's not that hard.
Really, come on, let me show you.
Another time, all right? Oh, come on.
Really, it's a lot of fun! Oh, well, all right.
We don't have to dance.
Hey, how would you like to go out and use the hot tub? Three years.
Don't move.
It's over, John.
Take off the mask.
Mr.
McGee Mine is not a happy life.
All I want to do is get rid of the creature.
Why won't you leave me alone? From the beginning, no one's believed me.
You are my vindication.
And you'll be destroying me.
I will be stopping an uncontrollable and dangerous force.
The creature saved your life, more than once, you know that.
The creature is also responsible for taking lives.
I was there, at the laboratory fire.
He killed David Banner and Elaina Marks.
No! No, no, no.
Elaina died in the fire, not the creature.
He tried to save her.
You'll have every chance to prove that in a court of law.
Take off the mask.
Will you shoot me? It's only an anesthetic.
Curare.
You'll only be out a little while.
Curare's a deadly poison.
If you have enough there to subdue the creature, you could kill me.
Take off the mask! Take it off! Mr.
McGee, you're risking bringing out the creature in me.
Now please Please, stay back.
You know what could happen.
The mask! Attention, revelers! Oh, Father Zeus, and Mother Demeter, it is now midnight and time for your Persephone to return to the world of light.
Farewell, Pluto.
Farewell to the dead.
See you next season in Puerto Vallarta.
It is I who bring your fields to life.
Will you not give thanks? Once again, this year, you will be richly rewarded for your faith.
Help me! Help me! Somebody please! Help me! Somebody Help me! Thank God.
I'll be all right.
Go back to the party.
I didn't mean to startle you, but I have to get off the island.
I have to get off it right now! Stay where you are.
Miss Diane, you all right? I couldn't find you.
I'm fine, Pierce.
Here's the man who tried to kill me.
Diane, I don't know what happened here.
I just wanted to talk to you and that's all.
Did you have to hide in my room to do that? Well, I wanted to speak to you in private.
You never wanted to see me in private before.
I should have figured.
Quitting like you did.
Your quietness, holding back Things that made me think you were deep.
You're just sick.
Why, because I wouldn't play along like Donald and Allan? Back up.
Diane, just look around.
The way that you treat people, I'm sure there are several here tonight with better motives than I.
And you know that yourself.
You can save your dime-store analysis for the police.
They'll be here soon.
Now get in.
I'll take the key, Pierce.
I guess that's that.
I'd better call the police.
What if he isn't the one? Maybe there's something in what he said, about the others here.
Am I that bad, Pierce? I'm sure I wouldn't know, Miss Powell.
I, uh Fixed up the south room.
Would you like to check it? I'm not sure if it's the way you want it.
Oh, all right, why not? Diane, may I speak to you for a moment? Allan, I'm busy.
Please.
All right.
Pierce, I'll have to check that later.
Yes, Miss Powell.
You may go, Pierce.
All right, Allan, what is it? I haven't had a chance to be with you all night.
And then, after what happened, I was so worried.
Excuse me, guys, have you seen a man around here in a dark sort of costume? What? It was a dark top, black tights, boots Do I know you? Uh, no, I don't think so.
Oh, another friend of Diane's? Diane's? No, see, my name is McGee.
I'm a reporter Reporter? Look, I told the press at Cannes that I've got the financing for my film all sewed-up.
So why don't you just leave me alone? No, I don't think you understand.
Don't I? Pierce! Yes, sir, Mr.
Donald.
I don't believe this man has got an invitation.
May I see your invitation, please? Yeah, well, they took it off me at the dock.
No, sir.
Oh, come on, Pierce, you remember me.
I'm a friend of Diane's.
I'll have to see your invitation.
Pierce.
Diane would be chagrinned indeed if she saw you questioning me in this fashion.
Your invitation? See, I'm a reporter.
And I'm covering all of this for the society pages of my paper.
You know how these jet-set types like to see their names in the papers.
You'll have to leave the island.
Oh, that's gonna be a little hard, Pierce.
I haven't got a boat.
Another man is leaving the island with the police.
You can join him.
Please, come with me.
Uh, listen, Pierce, maybe we could come to some sort of an arrangement.
Surely, a man of your sort could use a couple of extra bucks.
If I have to send for help, it could be embarrassing.
Okay.
Allan, what do you want? I'm losing my family.
I can't afford the alimony.
Why can't you be different? Allan, I didn't ask you for anything.
So be a good boy.
Give me a kiss and let's go back to the party.
Diane, the way you treat people They can only stand so much.
Oh, I see! So you don't like the way I behave either.
Well, fine.
Tell me you've had your fill and I'll be happy not to put up with this.
Oh, I've had my fill all right.
Terrific! I gave up everything, for nothing! Diane! Diane, what's happening? David! Diane, what is it? Diane! Help! It's all right.
It's all right.
I couldn't get your papers from the library, David.
That man McGee was there.
If you send me an address, I'll mail them to you.
All right, I'll try to.
David, I'm I don't know exactly what happened back there.
But I do know that you saved my life.
I want to thank you for that.
And I want to apologize.
Apology is accepted.
I haven't done that in a long time.
That wasn't so hard, now, was it? No, not at all.
Good.
David, some of the things that you said to me Well, you know.
I know.
David, is there anything I can do for you? Money? No, but if the police or Mr.
McGee want to know anything about me, the less they know, the better.
Okay.
Thank you.
