It Happened One Night1934

Ellie:
Have you ever been in love, Peter?

Peter:
Me?

Ellie:
Yeah. Haven't you ever thought about it at all? Seems to me you, you could make some girl wonderfully happy.

Peter:
Sure I've thought about it. Who hasn't? I never meet the right sort of girl. Aw, where you gonna find her? Somebody that's real. Somebody that's alive. They don't come that way anymore. I never thought about it. I've even been suckered enough to make plans. I saw an island in the Pacific once. I've never been able to forget it. That's where I'd like to take her. She'd have to be the sort of a girl who'd jump in the surf with me and love it as much as I did. Nights when you and the moon and the water all become one. You feel you're part of something big and marvelous. That's the only place to live. The stars are so close over your head you feel you could reach up and stir them around. Certainly, I've been thinking about it. Boy, if I could ever find a girl who was hungry for those things...

[Ellie comes around the blanket to his bed]

Ellie:
Take me with you, Peter. Take me to your island. I want to do all those things you talked about.

Peter:
You'd better go back to your bed.

Ellie:
I love you. Nothing else matters. We can run away. Everything will take care of itself. Please Peter, I can't let you out of my life now. I couldn't live without you. [She cries in his arms]

Peter:
You'd better go back to your bed.

Ellie:
Sorry. [Returning to her own bed, she cries herself to sleep on her pillow]

Peter:
Hey, brat. Did you mean that? Would you really go? [He looks over the blanket and sees she is asleep]
