don't you understand dear I loved you so much when they told me you were dead I went all to pieces I suppose that's why you married me no darling you were so good to me you you helped are you trying to tell me that you don't love me that you married me just because I was so kind she's telling me what kind of a rat you were taking advantage of a helpless Widow there you said it yourself if you call her Widow that proves that even you thought you were dead I'll show you how to Ed I am just about you in both of you what are you two worrying about I'm the one with the two husbands that's against the law then let me do the worrying flight we're all upset tired the only thing to do is to go to bed and go to get a good night's sleep so we can face this problem tomorrow with clear minds there's no problem why isn't there what's happened this plain enough I'm out of your life gone forgotten you found a new love that makes me an unwanted corpse at a party I don't know no dia we don't feel that way at all do we Henry hmm I think you describe yourself perfectly oh Henry you're just joking to try to make bill feel good Oh Millie what you have to stay here this is where you belong it is not darling this is out of your hands now would you mind leaving us alone why yes why because there are some things that men must settle themselves about me yes about you well I guess we'll have to do something about my - husband - husband naturally were all anxious to do what's right about this if you two men want to talk things over why all right back up deal I'll be waiting in my room I'll look here bill cardille there's something I want you to understand if you have any I don't worry about me I know she was just trying to be nice to me I've lost you Wow decent of you to realize that can I take you to a hotel little drink before we go sure the drink I was going to offer you uh-huh that's a wonderful wife you have Thanks well you can't thank me too it's my own fault that I lost you leaving her alone taking those crazy trips well one man's mistake is another man's chance say you couldn't be hinting that she married me on an emotional bounce-back I'm not getting anything use your head what do you mean by that what am i hitting what do I mean forget it here's to her anyway they'll card you I don't like your attitude I said I didn't like your attitude what's the matter with you Vicky married me because she loves me it had nothing whatsoever to do with you good yes good there would have been the same thing we both met her at the same time she'd still be my wife Oh what's she you're darn right you would uh-huh I was only kidding don't take it seriously you finished your drink old man I'll take your hotel so you think you don't want her from the start huh you think you're the head man around you are you ready to leave I'm not leaving you're not I'm married to Vicky as much as you are why don't you drive yourself to the hotel are you crazy you heard her asked me to stay what are you waiting for are you stupid enough to believe that I'd leave you here with my wife your wife or anybody's wife now then if you through ordering me around you can get out yourself yeah yeah well go ahead start something you're the loud one start something yourself for the last time are you leaving are you no no um who is it it's not come in have you were decided anything yes my former friend here claimed I wouldn't have a chance even if I stayed so I'm staying and I'm going to do everything possible to make you decide you love me and want me for your only husband why does Vicky remember the law what not any law can't stay here why caddie we have a guest room I won't have him in the same house you're going to have him in the same room what since you men haven't reached a decision the only proper thing for me to do it to put both my husband's in the guest room bill cardio I won't stand for this why don't you leave Vicky as your legal husband I'm asking you to order this cat out of the house as her legal husband I'm asking you to shut him out before I slit your throat no boys Henry dear where's the road you used before we brought you the new one I won't tell Henry you wouldn't want me to make up my mind right now would you it's in the back of the closet Vicki did you find it there Vicki toggling don't decide against me please I promise you there'll never be another business meeting in night as long as I live my whole life will be spent making you happy darling that we theaters wonderful trips dinners out hello Vicki Vicki Vicki Vicki hello trouble

was showing her where a barracuda bit me ah we'd better go to bed we'll sleep with our thoughts and tomorrow we'll be able to settle everything the plan here my thoughts will be sleeping with your thoughts honey a fine thing and may I comment and passing that it seems awfully strange to order a man out of his own bedroom just because of squealing corpses washed ashore this this is the night I dreamed about while I starved on berries and fish come darling good night dear good night nine I love you I heard every word you did the part of yourself I have to protect my own daughter from what you can sent one of them to a hotel which all right both um why why wouldn't this be a lovely scandal two husbands under the same wing oh they're in the guest room now look here Vicky you're not fooling me neither are they what do you mean dad I simply mean that this can't go on something's got to be done I imagine the proper legal procedure would be to pick one and throw the other one out then let's do it I asked you before which Vicky you've always been honest with me yes what when you heard today that Bill was alive you told me it was a horrible situation do you still think that Oh in a way yes in a way yes Nicki you like this I like my husband to love me to fight for me Vicky is that wrong I don't know it sounds wrong when you use a plural dad you know I've been a very lonely wife twice yes now on it once I'm getting more attention than I ever had in my whole life two men brought me do everything in their power to get me this is awful but I love it hmm of course you can't forget that you've got to make a decision as soon as possible I can't forget but I don't have to keep remembering in the meantime two human beings are in the guest room two men who as you say will do everything in their power to get you I'd say it was high time for an old man to keep his eyes open this used to be a rumor Oh Mac I think it's paying off without feeling ashamed I guess when you redecorated it you made it just what you if you're very old rayvon you wonderful thing what's this stuff mosquito netting Darwin swish what dotted Swiss dotted Swiss you even look pretty when you say it hmm which one is mine I had nothing to do with this but he wanted the room this way in case we ever had a daughter you say that to me why not you're a grown boy I suppose this is hypnotism little thing you picked up in your island I was just seeing you at my wedding my best man oh that wedding you should have seen mine my best man standing with his hand on my shoulder offering a toast to Billy says the one man in the world I'd gladly die for oh did I say then well I'm ready let's do you gladly die times have changed the world's gone through a lot and people don't take the same hollow

thing to do you're done right it is I'll be upstairs you can call me when you made up your mind and you then all I can say is that I hope the loser will have the decency to join the Foreign Legion Vicky while you're deciding I want you to remember that I came to you in your darkest hour with all the love that was in my heart I want you to remember that honey I ended our life together if you should choose me we'll be as happy as it's in my power to make it thank you honey I don't ask you to remember anything just that our love was the first love the true love the love that lives forever
