Fred
No, no! It wasn’t—I just—
Hart
Well, I’ll be in my office, if you want me.
He leaves.
Eileen
Why didn’t you ask him when you had a chance?
Fred
Weakly.
They’ve advanced me so much already.
Eileen
But sweetheart, you promised me. You said you’d ask him today.
Fred
I will after while. I got to find Paul now—I got to go to work.
Eileen
Oh, don’t go to work yet. You never have any time for me. You don’t realize I want to be loved once in a while.
Fred
I held your hand in the taxi.
Eileen
Just think! Only three more days till we belong to each other. Isn’t it marvellous!
Fred
It’s four, ain’t it?
Eileen
Four till we sail. Only three till we get married.
