:43:00
Tell her something. Tell her I'm sick.
Tell her I'm dead. Will you call?
:43:05
Yes, I'll call.
:43:07
You know she must have written them
a lot of nice things about me.
:43:10
What a gentleman I am. A prince.
:43:12
Which hotel is it?
:43:14
The Manhattan. Mr. and Mrs. Charles St. James
of Toledo, Ohio.
:43:26
Get up, Don.
:43:37
Just a minute, Helen.
:43:52
- Hello, Wick. Is Don here?
- Don? No.
:43:55
Any idea where he could be?
:43:57
Wasn't he meeting you?
:43:58
Oh, he was supposed to meet us for lunch,
then he telephoned he'd be late.
:44:02
Mother's beginning to think I just made him up.
:44:05
- Do you suppose something happened to him?
- Nonsense.
:44:08
"Oh. But surely he'd have called back
if her were all right."
:44:10
- Where did he call you from?
- I don't know.
:44:12
I think I have got an idea. He called from out of town.
:44:15
- Out of town? Where?
- Philidelphia.
:44:17
- What's he doing in Philadelphia?
- Well, there's an opening on the Philadelphia Inquirer...
:44:20
the book section and Don wrote them, he wired them
and I think this morning he just took an early train.
:44:25
Oh. Why, he didn't tell me a word about it.
:44:28
I, I'm not supposed to tell you either.
He wanted it to be a surprise.
:44:32
- He did?
- Yes, he...
:44:33
he probably couldn't meet the right people right away,
missed a train. You know how it is.
:44:37
Oh, it would be just wonderful
if he got the job and started working.
:44:42
Or would it, Wick,
:44:43
with him in Philadelphia and me in New York?
:44:47
Don't ever tell him I said that though, will you?
:44:49
Of course not.
:44:51
I can never understand why somebody like Don,
a person with such talent, such flashes of real brilliance...
:44:56
Maybe I'm a bit prejudiced.
