Betty Lewis

Oh

Oh, hi, hi, honey

Marry me

What, what's that?

I said, will you marry me?

Oh, just round of a preacher and I'll meet you at the church.

Serious, Johnny? Oh, I wish you were, you rascal. Oh, with you, Betty, I sometimes wish I couldn't... No, no, no, wait a minute. Catch me still half a sleep this week? Betty, what are they saying? You threw it up at a crack of dawn. What are you talking about? It's almost eight o'clock. Exactly what I said, the crack at dawn. You just spoiled, Donnie. Well, I don't know whether to forgive you this time or not. Oh, oh, now what have I done? My housewarming party. Oh, no. Oh, yes. It took me three months of hard work to get my new little house fixed up out here, no visitors, no fun, no

nothing to work, and then when I do invite you, and you accept. Betty, honest, listen. It says

this is crazy business of mine. Better be good, Johnny. Well, I was out in Eugene, Oregon,

and there was no way... Gene Oregon. Yeah, one of those last-minute things, insurance investigation,

and there was no way I could get out of it. Honest? I only got back late last

night, but I'll make it up to you. I swear it well. Let's see. There's, um... What? Betty.

Hello, Betty. What's matter, Johnny? You're asking me, those gunshots.

And if I suddenly groaned and dropped the telephone, would you come running out here?

Are you kidding? What? Only, I cannot tell a lie. That was just some hot rod kid with a cut-down convertible. Oh, backfire, huh? Yes. Every morning at exactly 8 o'clock. You set your watch by it. Are you sure that's all it was? Well, if you don't believe it, why don't you come over here and see for yourself?

Tomorrow, maybe?

At 8 o'clock in the morning?

Sure.

And honey, I'll cook you the greatest breakfast you ever had.

Yeah, but...
