Pretty good for a guy
with a marcel on his nose.

I love you, dear,
marcel and all.

Yeah, and I love you, honey.

Even at the risk
of cutting my own throat.

Darling, do you realize we've
been married three months today?

Yeah. Who says
marriages don't last?

Ouch!

There it is.
I got it.

Why don't you
use a new blade?

No, sir, I'm stubborn. This blade
was good enough for my father,

and it's good enough
for me.

Oh. Come to think of it, I
had a new blade here yesterday.

Well, if it's gone, I'll
bet Skinny Kincaid took it.

Yeah? Well, what would Skinny
Kincaid be doing with my blade?

He shaved here yesterday.

Oh, he shaved here yesterday? Mmm-hmm.

Ha! Good old Skinny.
I bet he was pie-eyed.

Isn't he always?

Still, I don't think Skinny
would walk off with my blade.

Oh, of course not.

Skinny drinks our liquor,
sponges our food,

walks off with our
cigarettes and matches,

but I'm sure he
wouldn't stoop to blades.

Was he alone?

No. He was with
an appraiser.

An appraiser?
Uh-huh.

What would he want with
an appraiser up here?

He was trying to borrow
some money on our furniture.

Oh. Crazy guy.

Pretty soon he'll be squawking
because my suits don't fit him.

You know, Anne,

between you and me, that mob is
getting slightly on my nerves.

They're here day and night enjoying
the good old Merrick hospitality.

Why, there are so many of them
practically living here with us now,

it looks like
a federal housing project.

Is that the phone?

Sounds like it. Hurry
up, will you, darling?

First thing you know some of
our pals will be drifting in,

and then we'll
never get away.

Yeah.

Wish I had the hat-checking
concession in this place.

Hello?

No, I'm sorry to say I don't.

No, not tonight.
We're going out.

Who was that?
Bert Monroe.

Bert Monroe?
Who's he?

Don't ask me.

How on earth do we happen
to know so many funny people?

Now don't
lay it on me.

They wouldn't come here the way they
do if you weren't so blamed charming.

Ah...

Let me answer
this one.

Thanks, dear.

Hello?

No. Mr. Merrick,
he not home now.

No. Mr. Merrick,
he out dancing.

Yeah. He do flat foot
floo jeep on the floor floor.

No. No. Flat foot floo
jeep on the floor floor.

Oh, no.
Could not do that.

No. No.
Not with the floor floor.

Yeah. You go, too.
Yeah. Yeah...

Just another jitterbug
looking for a home.

Gee. You look pretty.

Do I, Steve?

Listen, Anne, when I
think of any other woman...

What I mean to say
is I don't.

Ninety days married and
still dealing out romance.

Nine... Ninety days? Gee.
It seems longer than that.

Oh, it does?

Sure. You know, when
you're happy and contented,

why, you just forget
all about time.

Say, I'm so contented now, if I was
a cow all I'd give would be cream.

Oh, now, who's that?

Let him knock again.

The landlord.

Let's surprise him
and open the door.

The only thing he'll get
here today is practice.

Oh, how do you do,
Mr. Flanahan?

How do you do,
Mr. and Mrs. Merrick?

My! What a small world.
Imagine meeting you at our door.

Well, folks, I was just
passing and I said to myself,

"Well, why not drop in
and see the Merricks?"

Well, we're glad
you did, Mr. Flanahan.

It saves us going out.

Yes. It saves us
going out.

You know, I'll bet you
came up about the rent.

Yes, sir. If at first
you don't succeed,

try, try again.

Won't you come in,
Mr. Flanahan?

Yes, do come in.
We'll talk about it.

Wait a minute. I don't wanna
hear any more fairytales.

I saw Snow White
and I'm very happy.

I'd like to have
my money.

Oh, yeah. Well, that's what we wanna
talk to you about, Mr. Flanahan,

about the money.

You see, there was a little
trouble about my last check clearing

and we'd like to have you play ball
with us for a couple of more days.

Listen. I've been playing
ball with you so long

I got a charley horse
in my right arm.

Oh, I know. But after all, money
isn't everything, Mr. Flanahan.

You know, that's what I like about you.

You're so darn nice
about everything.

You know, truthfully, you
ought to relax a little more.

Take things easy.

You know the old saying, "All work
and no Jack makes hay while..."

Or it's,
"All hay and no Jack..."

What is that thing, Anne?

I've got it. "All work and no
play keeps the doctor away."

That's it!
That's it!

He thought I was...

Oh, the door. Yeah.

I'll get the door.

Package for Mr. Merrick.

Oh, thanks.

Uh, pair of shoes I bought.

Hey, wait a minute.
That's collect.

Well, you don't have to
get nasty about it.

$5.35.

$5.35.

There ought to be a home
for boys like you.

Uh, $5.35, honey.

Hey, I want my money.

Are you any
relation to him?

$5.35.

Have you change
for a $20, Mr. Flanahan?

Any way at all will do.
We'll just break...

Well, that $10 will be fine.
That's charming. Thank you.

Here's $10, son.

Yes, sir. Here's your change.

And here's a dollar for you.

Oh, thank you.
What's money?

Just add that onto the rent, Mr. Flanahan.

Now, where were we?

It was,
"All work and no Jack..."

Say, I gave you $10.

Oh, I know you did.
And I'll fix that for you.

You just lend me your pen and
I'll make it out for you right now.

Now, how do you spell
your name, Mr. Flanahan?

Flanahan.
F-L-A-N-A-H-A-N.

Oh, just plain like that, eh? I'd say...

That's F-L-A-N-A-H-A-N.

Now, that's $40 for the rent and
$10. That's $50. Is that right?

That's right.
$50. Yes. I see.

"I owe you $50."

You know,
I could give you a check,

but you couldn't put it
through for a couple of years,

so this is probably
much better.

Here you are, Mr. Flanahan.

This just proves that one
should never worry about a thing.

Everything comes out
all right in the end.

Wait a minute.

I got enough of these
things to start a fire.

Yeah. Why didn't you
think of that last winter

when we didn't have
enough heat in this place?

Goodbye, Mr. Flanahan.
Happy times.

You know, that Flanahan
is sure a nice guy.

Say, and a nice pen. I ought
to get at least a dollar on it.

Hurry up, darling, will you? We'll be late.

Don't you think it's about time
you tell me where we're dining?

Can't I surprise you
once in a while?

Honey, there isn't a day that
passes that you don't surprise me.

Now, come clean.

Well, you've heard me
speak of Gil Morrell.

Gil Morrell?

Oh, isn't he the guy
that used to go for you?

What do you mean,
"used to"?

Oh, go on.

Well, I ran into him
last week.

Oh, I suppose he just
happened to be passing.

Hold this
for me, darling.

Yeah.

Uh, what about
this Gil Morrell?

I told him
about your novel.

Well, you had your nerve.

More than that. I gave it to him to read.

Well, I've only
finished 10 chapters.

So he said, "Bring the poor sap
to dinner and we'll talk about it."

Well, aren't
you pleased?

Pleased?
I'm tickled pink.

Oh, Steve. Won't it be
wonderful to be rich?

Yeah. Then we can walk by
the finance company again

without trying
to look nonchalant.

And you can give up your pint-sized
job and we'll move out of this place.

Why, Anne, what's the matter
with it? I like it here.

Oh, so do I, but...

Oh, let me handle it. I'm a
wizard at this stuff. I'll take...

I handle these...
I'm a wiz at...

I can...

Do you get an oil can
with these things?

There it is.

Now I wonder who that is.

I don't know. But whoever it is, we're out.

I'll say.

Hello. Mr. Merrick,
he not...

What?

Mr. and Mrs. Flint
are on their way up.

I told them you wasn't in, but they
don't seem to have no confidence in me.

Oh...

Thanks.

Anne. Oh, Anne.

Who was it?

The Flints.
And they're coming up.

They may be coming up
but they'll never come in.

Now, get your coat
and follow me.

You know, the last time they
dropped in for a cocktail,

they stayed to breakfast.

Hurry up, Steve.

There they are.

They can ring
till the cows come home.

We're going down
the fire escape.

Fire escape. Let's go. Lights.

Oh, the lights.

Well, happy landing.

Be careful.
Nice knowing you.

Catch it, darling.

I got it.

All right.
Okay.

You all right?

Hey! Taxi!

Where to, buddy?

34, Washington Square.

Why, that's only a few blocks
from here. Why don't you walk it?

Fallen arches.
You don't mind, do you?

No. But I hate to see
any guy throw money away.

Even if he's got it.

That's the trouble
of the whole world today.

Too few people have
any economic balance.

Would you like to
mind your own business?

I wasn't talking to you,
buddy. I was thinking out loud.

We'll travel
for a year, huh?

London, Paris.

The Riviera.

Monte Carlo.

Monte...

We'll take
a little house there.

I'll settle down
to another novel.

I'll raise a family.

Well, you can't raise
much of a family in a year.

You can start one,
can't you?

Are you working
on a novel?

You heard me.

I just finished one.

You don't tell me!

Who's gonna publish it?

Well, International
wants it,

but I don't think they're the
right people to handle it. I'm...

Get out of the way,
you lug.

I'm considering giving it
to Consolidated.

Here we are.

Well, goodbye,
my literary friend.

The next time we meet, I hope
we'll both be famous novelists.

And if you want me to put a good
word in for you at Consolidated,

just let me know.

Oh, thanks. I'll need you. Yes.

Look at those books.

Funny he hasn't said
anything about mine.

I don't see anything funny about it, dear.

A man doesn't ask people to dinner
and then talk nothing but shop.

As soon as he gets through telephoning

I wish you'd introduce
the subject.

I will.

I'm so sorry.

Shall we go out
and have our coffee?

Oh, fine.
I'd love to.

By the way, I don't
think I congratulated you.

Oh, you mean my novel?

No, I mean your wife.

A lot of fellows can write, but
few men can get a girl like Anne.

I ought to know.
She almost married me.

Yeah, I know. Anne and I have
laughed about that lots of times.

Gil, it's charming.

You like it?

It's not a bit
like New York.

That's why I took it.

I can sit out here and
imagine I'm in the country.

Saves me
having to commute.

Sit down.
Thank you.

Steve...

Well, Gil,
what do you think?

I think it shows
unusual promise.

I was sure
you'd like it.

The characters are
alive and fresh.

Dialog fairly crackles.

However... Will you have a cigarette, Anne?

Oh, thank you.

Steve.
Thanks.

You were saying?

Oh, yes. Some of the
chapters are grand. But...

Out with it, old man,
I can take it.

Well, after all, I've
only seen 10 chapters.

I have a feeling, Steve, that
you haven't thought it out.

A novel isn't just a loose collection
of chapters, no matter how good they are.

It should be as carefully
planned as a house.

A house that's gonna be occupied
by a lot of interesting people.

Well, I see
what you mean, Gil,

but can you put your finger
on just what's wrong with it?

Yes.

Your story shows great promise
up to chapter nine. Then it sinks.

It what?

It sinks.

Oh! You had me a little
nervous there for a minute.

When I read a book, I want to know first
of all what the author's purpose is.

Well, I hate
novels with a purpose.

I almost agree
with you.

Still, if an author hasn't something
to say, why bother to write?

Gil's right, Steve.

How do you work, Steve?

I have a feeling that you
wrote most of those chapters

while running
for the subway.

Well, I write nights
and Sundays. That is...

Lots of friends,
I suppose.

Oh, the line
forms on the left.

I've always tried to
sell my authors the idea

that writing isn't only
an art, it's a business.

What's your job like?

It's just a job.

Why don't you give it up? Give it up?

If I had your talent, I'd get somebody
to stake me, anybody, and go to it.

Anyhow, I think we better be going, Anne.

What, so soon?

Well, it's after 11:00.

Well, if it's
that late, we must.

I'm afraid I made myself
an awful nuisance.

Oh, no,
you've been swell.

Well, let me know
how it goes.

I'll be very much
interested.

Thanks, Gil,
for a beautiful evening.

Good night.

Thanks for everything.

Thank you.

Will you
get me a taxi?

Steve, we're not
going to ride home.

We're not going home.
We're going for a spin.

Uh, do you
write novels?

Not me.
I work for a living.

Drive us through the park.

Steve, you're not
discouraged, are you?

What about? He said I
could write, didn't he?

All on earth you need
is an opportunity.

And I'm gonna
make it, see.

From now on no more parties, no more
people dropping in for cocktails.

As soon as we stop serving gin we
won't have a friend in the world.

I'm gonna shut myself up in a shell

and think novel, eat
novel, and drink novel.

Oh, Steve,
you're wonderful.

Simply wonderful.

I know it.

Is this the place?
I think so.

Say, who do you think you are, Paul Revere?

Sure. The Redcoats are coming.
The Redcoats are coming.

Shut up, you darn fool.
Do you wanna get us pinched?

Biney, I haven't enough
money to bail us out.

Don't worry.

Whatever it is, I don't think we want any.

Uh, Mr. Merrick's
apartment, please.

You can't go up.
Why not?

'Cause he ain't at home.
And this time he really ain't.

Say, now don't be absurd. He just
telephoned me from the sick bed.

I'm Dr. Axoplanard.

Dr, Axo...

Oh.

Well, what about
the young lady here?

My nurse.

Well, right this way.

Thank you.

Say, I remember you now.

Last time you got me up in the middle of
the night, you told me you was a lawyer.

Oh, I gave up the law.
There's no future in it.

That's what I
told my brother.

But they still
got him locked up.

Oh, here's a pass to one of
my theaters. Made out for two.

You can take
your sweetheart.

Oh, but I got a wife.

She don't need to know.

You don't know my wife.

You know, you've got your nerve
breaking into a strange apartment.

What do you
mean strange?

I'll bet anything you don't
even know these people.

I'll bet anything I know
where they keep their gin.

Well, I've got to
write my review.

There's a typewriter.
Help yourself.

Can I use the telephone?

Help yourself.
The place is yours.

Thanks.

No answer, darn it.

Say. I don't like
to use this machine

with somebody else's
work in it.

Take it out.

I know. But these people may be fussy.

Oh, go ahead,
take it out.

Here.

Why don't you tear it up
and be done with it?

Oh, it's not mine.

There you are.

Now, I'll dictate your
review for you. Ready?

Shoot.

Hello.
How've you been?

Okay.

Anybody home?

Not yet.
The liquor's in there.

In there.

Who is that man?

Search me.

Say. What kind of people
are these Merricks?

They're grand, and don't let
anybody tell you different.

What does he do?

Oh, he's got a job
with electrical appliances.

What does she do?

She was a model
before she married Steve.

You mean to say she lets
her husband support her?

Well, she was gonna keep right on
working, but Steve wouldn't have it.

That you, Kelly? Six bottles
of gin, the Merrick apartment.

Emergency call.

Say, who's going to pay
for those six bottles?

I don't know.
It's not my party.

What'll I do with this?

You ever try
swallowing 'em?

Biney!

Oh, I knew a fellow once, made his
living swallowing lighted cigarettes.

He said it toned up
his digestion.

He finally blew up.

Steve!

Well, George Trent, you
old sinner. How are you?

I can't complain.

Why, Anne.
Hello, George.

Come on up.
Well, just a minute.

Come along, Sugar.

Sugar?

Some lump.

Anne and Steve,
this is Mrs. Trent.

How do you do?
How do you do?

George's mother.
Well, well.

I happen to be
George's wife.

Oh! Well,
those things happen.

I mean, I thought you
looked very young to be...

That's right.
You didn't know.

My mistake.
I'm sorry.

I should think
he would be.

Mercy! Who's the dame in the
ermine with the flock of orchids?

That's Mrs. George. He
married the Stickle million.

My, she must have had a lot of fun
knitting socks for the soldiers.

In the Civil War.

Some of the best wine comes
out of old bottles, Polly.

Won't you come up,
Mrs. Trent?

No, I'm afraid it's rather late for that.

Oh, nonsense. Anne, you take
George and Mrs. Trent upstairs

and I'll run over to Tony's
and get some sandwiches.

Fine, dear. Come with me, Mrs. Trent.

Oh, Sugar, please.

Well, for
a very few minutes.

Biney, darling!

How are you, baby?

Oh, it's so good
to see you again.

Hello. I'm Polly Griscom.

Oh, Biney's talked
a lot about you.

Don't believe him.
It's not true.

I won't.
Oh!

One of those
exclusive places, eh?

Who's that?

Hello.

Hello. The liquor's
right in there.

Well, thanks.

George.
Biney!

Gee, I'm glad to see you again, Biney.

I'm glad to
see you, George.

Say, I heard you married
somebody filthy with money.

Well, yes. I...
Shh...

Hello, George. I haven't seen you
for ages. Give us a little kiss.

Oh, swell to
see you again, Polly.

Oh, gee.

Well, George.

Yes, Sugar?

Oh, won't you
come in, Mrs. Trent?

Really, George,

I think you might have
waited for me.

I had to climb
that last flight alone.

I don't see how
you ever made it.

George has been a bachelor
so long, he's apt to forget

those little niceties that
mean so much to a woman.

But I expect to
change all that.

Yes. I can see
a change already.

George, you might introduce
me to your friends.

Yes, Sugar.
This is Polly.

George and I
are old pals...

So I've noticed.

And this is Biney.

Well, what about a little drink, George?

We are not drinking,
thank you.

What?
George not drinking?

We're not drinking.

We are.

I wish that egg would
get off the phone.

I will, but give me
long distance.

And now he wants
long distance.

And now he wants...

I want long distance.

I want to talk
to a girl in Dayton.

Wait right here, George.
I may need you any minute.

Yes, Sugar.

Hello.
Sue?

I want Sue.

What are you
made up for?

I'm just holding these
for Sugar.

Well, George, how does
it feel to be a kept man?

Shh.
Shh.

What's the matter?

My keeper's in there.

Oh, I'm sorry.

It's all right. She's
heard the rumor before.

George.

Yes, Sugar?

I want you.

She wants me.

How much did you say
she was worth?

16 million.

It's not enough.

Well, how are you,
beautiful?

Hello, angel.

You know, I wouldn't trade
you for 16 times 16 million.

You wouldn't, huh?

Excuse me.

Say, what are we going to do with that guy?

Just ignore him.
What about some food?

Yes. I can't find a thing in the ice box.

Sandwiches.

Oh, to save us.

How about that
show of yours?

Didn't you open it
tonight? Yes, and very good.

Say, do you think
it will run?

Oh, just a short day.
Yeah.

I hear it's so bad, the actors
hiss the audience for coming.

Yes, they're going to close
next week and recast the backers.

I distinctly saw a face peering at me.

You just
imagined it, Sugar.

I never use
my imagination.

Oh, it's terrible.
Oh, hello.

It's terrible.
I'm in such trouble.

I wonder if one of you
boys could help me out.

She's in trouble
and she wants a boy.

It's a bat.
What's a bat?

That awful thing
that flew in my window.

I'm such a baby.

If it got in my hair
I'd just die.

You'd just die?

I'd just naturally die.

Well, no woman dies while
there's life in my body.

Get your gun, Steve.

Get your things,
George, we're going.

I feel just terrible rushing in here
like this without being introduced.

My name is
Luella Mae Carroll.

My name is
Jefferson Davis Faniere.

Are you any kin to the
Fanieres in Richmond?

No, just related.

Oh.

Come along, George.

Oh, so soon, Mrs. Trent?
Oh, don't hurry off, folks.

I do wish you all
would come in.

I'm so used to a great,
big house full of people.

Thank you so much. Good night. Good night.

Good night. Good night.
Say, look, Steve,

Sugar's giving a yachting
party over the weekend.

Why don't you and Anne
join us in the morning?

Oh, swell, George.

Well, Sugar would love having
you. Wouldn't you, Sugar?

Well...

Yes, of course.

Say, how about inviting me
and Polly. We love yachts.

Surest thing you know.

Come along, George.

Say, look, Sugar,
it's early now.

Couldn't we...

Now, it's been
a delightful evening,

but now we are going.

Good night, Mrs. Merrick.

Good night, Mrs. Trent.

Shame you can't stay
for the bat hunt.

I'll be with you
on the second hunt.

Good night, Polly.
Good night, George.

So long, Anne.
Good night, Georgie.

Now, where is
that old bat?

George!

Oh, there you are.

Well, good night all.

Why don't you slide down
the banister, Sugar?

Uh, now where's
your room?

Right around
here a piece.

A piece?
I told you.

I think it's all
too wonderful

having you all
drop in like this.

I wish somebody would pinch
me to see if I'm awake.

Well, pinch her, Biney.

You're single. You can
afford to take the rap.

Oh, my goodness.

What is it now?

I left my nightgown hanging
over one of the chairs.

Well, no wonder.

No wonder what?

No wonder you have bats.

There's nothing draws bats
like a nightgown.

Oh?

Are you ready, Biney?
Sure enough.

Well, let's save
the colonel's daughter.

I'll bet you Yankee boys
are a mess of fun at a party.

Now where's the bat?

Well, if you were a bat, where
would you hide? Well, I...

You're
thinking of a horse.

Here bat, here bat. Come, come, come, come.

My family just
can't understand

why I left our old
plantation to come up north.

But I just love New York.

Of course, I don't
always feel so safe here.

I don't see why.

I used to be awful lonely, but I don't
anymore since I got to know you all.

There's nothing like
old friends, is there?

Ain't it the truth?

That's not it.

I can't find
a bat anywhere.

Oh, much obliged anyhow.

You just about
saved my life.

Oh, that's nothing.

Okay, Biney.
Treasure hunt's over.

Well... My folks just
sent me some Virginia ham,

and I'm fixing to whip up
some beaten biscuits.

Won't you all stay
and have some?

Well, not tonight, Miss...

Please call me
Luella Mae.

We'll all call you
Luella Mae.

Good night.
Good night.

Good night.
Good night.

Good night.

You'd better
look out, Steve.

That Southern bloodhound is after you.

Don't worry, dear.
I'm anemic.

Hey, what about opening up
another can of sardines?

You will open up
no more cans tonight.

I've got to go to the office
and you're going with me.

Sugar says no.

Good night, Mrs. Merrick.
Good night, Steve.

Good night.

It was a grand party.
Thank you.

Good night, Steve.
I'll take this, Biney.

Wasn't that
a swell party?

I don't know.
Was it?

Cigarette?
Uh-huh.

Thank you, darling.

Thank you.

Two sleepy people
by dawn's early light

And too much in love
to say good night

Here we are

Out of cigarettes

Holding hands and yawning

Look how late it gets

Two sleepy people

With nothing to say

And too much in love
to break away

Do you remember

the nights we had to
linger in the hall?

Yeah.

Father didn't
like you at all.

Whatever happened to him?

Remember the reason
why we married in the fall?

To rent this little nest

And get a bit of rest

But here we are

Just about the same

Foggy little fella

Drowsy little dame

Two sleepy people

By dawn's early light

Too much in love
to say good night

Here we are.

Gee, don't we look a mess?

Lipstick on my collar

Whose?

Wrinkles in your dress

Two sleepy people

Who know very well

They're too much in love
to break the spell

Here we are

Crazy in the head

Gee, your eyes are gorgeous. Yeah?

Even when they're red.

Is that the milkman?

No, that's dawn breaking.

Oh.
Oh!

I'm sorry.

Do you remember the nights
we used to cuddle in the car?

Watching every last
fading star

Remember the doctor said
your health was under par

And you, my little schnooks

Were ruining your looks

Well, here we are.

Keeping up the pace

Letting each tomorrow
slap us in the face

Two sleepy people

By dawn's early light

And too much in love

To say...

I'm a lucky guy,
you know.

How come?

You know,

as we sat there at dinner
tonight I kept asking myself

how it happened.

You know, you could have
married Gil if you wanted to.

A guy who could
give you anything,

a guy who has
gotten somewhere.

Instead you picked
a dark horse like me.

I've got a strong hunch that dark
horse is going to win the race.

He sure got himself
a good jockey.

Bet two bucks
on that horse for me.

Good night.

Steve, breakfast is ready.

I'll be
right there, dear.

Good morning, Mrs. M.

How did you
sleep, darling?

I dreamed I was in Luella's
room all night chasing bats.

Well, don't start
walking in your sleep.

Say, I must remember to call up
George about that yachting party.

I don't think
we ought to go.

Why not?

I haven't anything
to wear on a yacht.

All right, honey. Just grab
your little yellow basket

and go out and buy
a couple of things.

I can't do that, Steve.
Our budget won't stand it.

Oh, Anne, forget
about the budget.

George is one of our closest
friends and we can't let him down.

How much work do you expect
to get done on a yacht?

Sweetheart, we gotta have
a little fun now and then.

All right,
you have your fun.

But you can have it
without me.

You mean
you're not going?

That's just what I mean.

When your novel's finished you can have
plenty of fun, and I'll share it with you.

But until it is,
I'm "Old Lady Sourpuss."

You know, Gil was right
when he said that you...

Oh, now don't
start quoting Gil.

I got an overdose of that
book-peddler last night.

That's a nice way to talk about
a man who was so charming to us.

He was charming to you, all right. Oh, yes.

He had a bad case on you once and he
doesn't seem to have gotten over it.

We aren't getting
jealous, are we?

No! I haven't got a
jealous bone in my body.

All I mean is that Gil Morrell doesn't
half-know what he's talking about.

Did you hear what he said
about me giving up my job?

That was the most
sensible thing he said.

Oh, is that so?

Well, who's gonna stake me?

Of course, we could call up
The Rockefeller Foundation.

James, bring me my silk
hat, white tie, and tails.

I'm going out
to buy a hamburger.

Yes, with onions.

Wouldn't I look swell
wearing tails?

The way you act, I bet some
of your ancestors wore them.

Where are you going?

I'm going to see
about that top-hat.

Could I talk to
Mr. Brigden?

This is Anne Merrick
speaking.

Anne?

You're not going back
to your old job.

And who are you?

I am your husband,
remember?

Aren't you funny.

Oh, is that you,
Mrs. Brigden?

Darling, how are you?
Fine, thanks.

Anne, I don't like to make a
scene this early in the morning.

Could I speak to the boss for a minute?

If you think I'm going to
be another George Trent...

You won't be. You're
going to earn your keep.

You're going to take care of
the house and do the cooking.

Listen, Anne Merrick,

if you think you're gonna parade
around in a pair of step-ins

while I'm home here slaving over
a hot stove, you're badly mistaken.

Oh, Mr. Brigden,
this is Anne Merrick.

Well, it's like this, I'd
like to have my old job back.

Cooking.

Certainly,
I'm on the level.

All right,
I'll hold the line.

When you're not shelling peas, you
can finish the Great American Novel.

I won't give up my job
and be a kept man.

Who said anything
about keeping you?

I am lending you the money,
and if you don't pay it back...

Monday morning, 9:00?

I'll be there.

Would you be interested in a
subscription to the Women's Home Journal?

Do I look that way?

Sure.

Hello?

The Electric Light Company?

Well, I paid my...

Oh, you want me to see if the
streetlight on the corner is burning?

I don't mind.

Yes, it is.

Blow it out? Yeah...

Hello! Hello!

Wait a minute, wise...

"Blow it out!"

Sounded like Biney to me.

Are you hissing me?

Go get your rag
and help, will you?

Go on.

That's the biggest thing
I ever saw.

Oh, you should see the emerald
he has. It's driving me crazy.

Some Indian princess used
to wear it in her nose.

In her nose?

Over there they think
nothing of puncturing the nose

and loading it down
with jewels.

They must be savages.

He told me he'd give me
the emerald tonight.

Maybe.

Are you engaged to him?

Certainly not. After all, I
only met the man last night.

Oh.

Hello, how do you do? This
is Frances. How are you?

Oh, pardon me. I thought
you were somebody else.

Tired, dear?

Tired?

Oh!

Telephone, Anne.

What's the matter?
Don't you feel good, honey?

I feel like the breaking up
of a hard winter.

Move, my love.

Yes.

Listen, Anne,

how about you and Steve having dinner
with an old sweetheart of yours?

Well, certainly I mean me. How
many old sweethearts have you got?

Sounds grand, Gil, but Steve's
expecting me home for dinner.

And I have
an appointment later.

Well, I'm not
very far away.

What about me
driving you home?

I accept.

In fact, if someone
hadn't produced a car

I don't know how
I'd have gotten home.

I'm really tired.

Go away, Tiger. Shh.

Who is it?

Good evening, laundry.

Well, it's about time
you showed up.

You got my shirts there?
Yes, Mr. Merrick.

You'll find them right
underneath the bill.

Don't I smell gas?

Oh, is that
what that is?

Do you cook?

I try to.
Do you?

No. I'm always too busy
trying to collect.

Anyway, it seems like a woman don't
look up to a man who would do housework.

Once a woman gets you under her
thumb, she just thumbs you to death.

Oh, yeah. What about the
money for this laundry?

You know the rules.
Us janitors

can't deliver unless
we get the cash.

Excuse me. I didn't know you had company.

Oh, come on in, Luella.
This is Liberty Hall.

Stevie, I'm in
such trouble.

Again? What is it
this time, snakes?

No, my papa says I've got to
give up my career and come home.

That's good.

Why, Steve Merrick...

If that buzzer rings again
in this house, I'll just...

But I don't want
to go home.

I'd just as leave
stay here.

I'd leave for.

Yeah. And I'd leave
for you left.

Come on. Get out. Now,
don't you try to put me out.

I've gone out of here
once by myself.

I know. Goodbye.

Well? I'll have that other
laundry ready for you tomorrow.

I'll pay you then.
I'm sorry, boss.

But no cashie,
no washie.

Well, don't worry,
you'll get your money.

I'll pay you if it
takes my last IOU.

You know, Mr. Merrick,
if I had your soft soap,

maybe I could start
my own laundry.

How much do I
owe you?

$10.25.

Wait a minute.

Madam, do you need
the exterminator?

No, and get out of here.

George!
Steve.

Just in the nick of time.

Say, could you
loan me $10?

Well, that's what I came to see you
about. Could you loan me a dollar?

No. No.

Don't look at me.

I'm only 30 cents short
of having a quarter.

I thought you were
a millionaire.

I only married one.

You see,
I'm on an allowance.

Could you lend me your
watch so I can hawk it?

My watch is in escrow.

Anne get paid today?

Yeah.

I'll wait.

Can I help you?

Do you know
how to shell peas?

No. But I've always
wanted to learn.

Well, step into
my office.

Personally, I like
canned peas better.

I wonder who ever thought of putting
them up in these little wrappers.

Some day they'll put
zippers on them.

There it goes again.

Woman's work
is never done.

Well?
I'm back again.

Forgot to ask you
for the garbage.

The garbage
isn't ready yet.

Well, it's 6:30.
That's garbage time.

Well, I gave you
some yesterday.

Yeah, I know, but...
Well, don't be a hog.

Here.

Is that all? No, I'll try
and borrow some next door.

No use. They ain't been
eating regular either.

Who was that?

The G man.

G man?

Do I smell
something burning?

Oh!

Recipe number 19.

It was.

Here, kitty, kitty,
kitty, kitty, kitty.

Here, kitty.

There you are.

That's a good kitty.

Uh, tell me, Steve. As
one housewife to another.

I'm no housewife.

I'm just borrowing until
we can live on what I write.

Are you on
an allowance, too?

No.
Well, bide your time.

Yoo-hoo.
There's Anne now.

Oh, Anne...

George, I haven't
seen you for ages.

Say, Anne, could you
lend me a dollar?

Why, George.

Well, Sugar's taking
me to Newport.

She's waiting
at the station now.

I'd hate to think what would
happen if I didn't get there.

Oh, thanks.

So long, Steve.
Goodbye, George.

Hello, darling.

Well, I spoiled
your dinner.

I don't mind.

Have a hard day?

About the same as usual.

How's your writing going?

Oh, swell. I'm racing
ahead like a fire engine.

I'm so glad.

I get so terribly anxious
about it, Steve.

Why?

Well, I want you
to finish it.

What chapter are you on?

Oh, I've lost count.

Never mind that.

Chapter five?

Put that down, will you?
It's not right yet.

But you were on chapter five last week.

All right.
What about it?

You must be inspired.

I'm sorry I ruined
your dinner.

Forget about it.

Oh, darling.

Forgive me
for being cross.

Forgiven.

You know, you didn't
kiss me when I came in.

I know. This business has gotten
under my skin these last few weeks.

It's impossible for me
to be close to you.

Is that it?

I've been wondering,
because I haven't changed.

I still want you.

You know what?
No, what?

I'm hungry.
You and me both.

How'd you like
me to get dinner?

Well, I'm eating
right now.

All right. You set the table
and I'll get the can opener.

More shortcake?

What do you want me to do, bust wide open?

Say, Anne,

how about going out to a
picture with me tonight?

You know, we haven't been
anywhere together for a dog's age.

Don't you think you ought
to spend the time working?

Yeah. I guess
you're right.

Anne.

Could you let me
have $10?

Why don't you take it out
of the household money.

Well, there isn't any.

But darling, I put
$28 there last Saturday.

All right then.
Don't lend me $10.

Here it is, dear.
I don't want it.

Oh, Steve,
don't be childish.

I've got to leave
you now.

Don't touch the dishes. We'll
wash them when I get home.

Well, where are you going?

Well, Steve.

Can't a working woman
have a little time to herself?

Well, I asked you
where you were going.

I've got a date.

Oh, so you won't go
to a picture with me

but you'll step out
with some other fella.

Who's the date with?

A fellow I know.

Does he know
you're married?

He ought to.

I've got marriage
written all over me.

Well, I don't like it.

Oh, Steve.

Please be nice.

This is really important. I don't care.

People that are married have no
business seeing a lot of other people.

Oh, I do hope
I'm not an intruder.

Well, Luella, how long
have you been here?

Just a minute. I often slip
in through your balcony.

It's a shortcut.

Oh, well, I'm glad
you found a shortcut.

It makes everything
much simpler.

What is it, Luella?

Stevie, I want you to come to the
station with me about my tickets.

I'm such a baby.

I'm afraid Steve can't. He's
staying home tonight to work.

Oh, I'll be delighted
to go with you, Luella.

Oh!

You won't forget your
allowance, will you, Stevie?

Did I do
something wrong?

Luella, how'd you like me to give
you a farewell party with champagne?

Champagne?
You heard me.

Oh, Stevie,
you're marvelous.

I'll go home and change my frock.
I got a brand new one for the party.

Stevie.

Coming.

Oh, my! But you look
powerful sharp.

What?
In this old suit?

It doesn't look old
the way you wear it.

Oh, don't be silly.

Oh, Stevie. I declare, I don't know
what I'm going to do without you.

I sure don't.

Oh, my goodness.

Hey, come out of there.

What do you tramps want?

It can't be Steve Merrick.

Say, a remarkable
resemblance.

Them eyes, those hair,
those nose...

It is Steve Merrick.

How are you, sunshine?

Oh, I feel fine.

How about a little drink?
We're dying of thirst.

We brought our own ice.

Well, we don't
serve liquor here.

Oh!

Well, I guess we'll have
to use our own then.

Excuse me.

Here's your champagne,
Mr. Merrick. Eight bucks.

Shh.

Champagne?

Thanks, Kelly.

Thank you.

I'll put this on ice.

I thought he wasn't serving
liquor around here anymore.

Champagne isn't liquor,
silly, it's a luxury.

Hello.

Well, well, well.

I hope you all don't think it's
funny me coming out of there.

Oh, mercy, no.

I was waiting for Steve.

Chasing bats again.

She was waiting
for Steve.

I'm ready
if you are, Stevie.

I'm taking Luella
to the station.

Just make yourselves
at home.

I wish I had somebody
to buy me champagne.

Listen, gold digger. As long as
you're running around with me,

you'll drink gin.

And don't I know it.

Ahem.

Well, of all things.

The butler told me to come
right in, I hope you don't mind.

Mind? Believe it or not,
I just got through praying

that you'd walk in
through that window.

Look at my knees, they're all
dusty where I was kneeling.

Sit down.

Well.

Now, what's on your
beautiful mind?

Gil, I need some money.

How much?

Oh, I don't want to borrow it,
I want to earn it.

I'm sorry.

I'd like to loan you a lot, and
then pressure you for payment.

Well, you see, I know you have
a lot of manuscripts to read

and I thought...

Well, I might be able to help you
out two or three nights a week.

No, ma'am, I wouldn't
take such a risk.

Risk?

If you read scripts for me,
you'd have to read them here

and I guess you know
what that will lead to.

I haven't
the faintest idea.

Now don't go
pollyanna on me.

I'm crazy enough
about you as it is.

If I saw much of you, I'd go right
off the deep end and start dirty work.

By the way, while
we're on the subject.

How about divorcing Steve
and marrying me?

Oh, Gil.

You're not in love with me.

You think not?
No.

If you could read my mind
whenever I think about you...

Well, you wouldn't say that.

Now, I've let my hair down,
how do you feel about me?

You're just a big-hearted
brother to me, Gil.

Listen, lady, if I ever
started on you in earnest,

Steve'd put you
right out on the sidewalk.

Now, how come you need
this extra money?

You earn more than Steve
did when he was working.

Well, it's...

It's for my family.

I didn't know
you had a family.

Don't tell me I'm going to be a godfather.

Listen, lady, you're going to stop being
a model tomorrow and work for me regularly.

Oh, Gil.

Here's my first gift
to my godchild.

I want you to go uptown and get
the goldarnest rattle they've got.

Solid silver.

With letters on it
an inch high.

"To snookums,
from Uncle Gil."

Do you hear?

Oh, Gil,
I can't take this.

You're going to take it.

It's really an advance
on Steve's novel, see?

Gee, he must be thrilled.

What did he say
when you told him?

I haven't told him yet. I came right
straight here from the doctor's.

Come on,
get out of here.

You're going right home and tell
Steve. It will put new life into him.

Oh, and tell him from me that I read
those first few chapters he sent me

and they're swell.

Really, Gil?
Hmm.

Oh!

Well...

A grand wife, a novel
and a brand new baby.

Some fellows get
all the breaks.

Fine, Biney.

Hello.

Hurray, our hostess.

Where's Steve?

I... I think
he went out.

Anne, you look all in.
Let me get you a drink.

No, thanks. I'll just have a glass of milk.

The champagne.

Anne, don't go in there.

Why not?
Let me get it for you.

Well, all right.

How about a roast beef sandwich?

No, just a glass of milk.

How you been, Biney?
Mighty handsome.

I'll get it.

Thanks.

Oh, thank you.

Oh, wait a moment.
Wait a minute, mister.

I can't let nobody have this
until somebody pays their bill.

Where have I heard
that before?

How much is it?

$10.25.

What?

He ain't paid me
in four weeks.

This is too sordid for me.

Here you are.

I'll see that this
doesn't happen again.

I hope so, lady, 'cause them
steps is wearing me down.

Now, stop it, Biney. I don't
want to spoil my appetite.

Well, if beef isn't dead cow, what is it?

Oh! Stop it!

You ever been to
a slaughterhouse?

Oh!

Biney,
is this for me?

Oh, my soul.

Who let her in there?

You and your dead cow.

Anne, I forgot
to tell you...

You shouldn't have
done this, really.

It was just
a whim of mine.

Anybody home?

Hurray, the economic
royalist.

Hello, George. How does it
feel to be bought and paid for?

Oh!

Gee, George, you look
funny, funnier than usual.

What happened? I thought you
were on your way to Newport.

Well, I got in
a traffic jam.

And when I reached the station, the
train had pulled out, but Sugar hadn't.

There she stood, surrounded by her
bags and her maids and my valet.

And did she give it to me!
She didn't leave a rag on me.

Honestly, the way I felt, I could have
been arrested for indecent exposure.

And you took it,
I suppose.

Well, I had to, Biney. You
can't stop a woman like Sugar.

You could say something,
couldn't you?

Well, I did.

As soon as I could get a word
in edgeways, I socked her.

And what did she do?

Well, the last I saw of her, her maids and
my valet were raising her from the dead.

And as far as I'm concerned,
she can stay that way.

Hurray, this calls
for a celebration.

Well, come on,
we've got the makings.

Just a minute, that
happens to be my champagne.

It may be yours, but
we're going to drink it.

Did you say yours?

Yes, I bought it
for Luella.

Luella, Steve's taken you
out a lot, hasn't he?

Well, no.

Well, every time he took
you out, I paid for it.

And when he bought you
champagne, I paid for it.

Shut up, will you?
I won't.

All right, then tell her, tell them all.

She buys my food, she buys
my clothes, she pays the rent.

To make a long story loathsome,
she's the man of the house.

Now everybody knows it.

Where are you going?
Out.

Steve, there's something
I want to tell you.

You've told me enough.

But, Steve,
this is important.

Just one thing more, that champagne
tonight was the first money

I ever spent on Luella.

Then what became
of the money?

I've been buying you a winter
coat on the installment plan.

Oh, Steve.

I thought I could pay for it out of
the household money and surprise you.

Well, I only made a mess of
things, the way I always do.

The coat's in a box
on the top closet shelf.

I didn't want you to know you
were paying for your own present,

but you'll get it back,
every last penny.

What are you
going to do?

Get myself a job and feel like a man again.

Oh, Steve,
don't do that.

Look, dear, I've got a check for you.

It's from Gil. It's an
advance on your novel.

What are you trying to do?
Make a fool out of me?

It's made out to you.

Oh, Steve, listen. There's
something I have to tell you.

You don't have to tell me. Gil's
not paying me, he's paying you.

Paying me?

I've closed my eyes to a lot of
things, but I won't stand for this.

You don't have to.
Go back to your job.

Be a nobody all your life.

A nobody? That's what
I've been for four months.

George and I have been nothing but
a couple of pinheaded pushovers.

Only I wore an apron. Well,
I can be pushed just so far.

Mr. Merrick?

What is it?

Somebody on this floor
is cooking.

Oh, that's
a dirty shame.

Why, my dear landlady, you know I
wouldn't be baking a cake on your premises.

Well, you can't trust
anybody these days.

Oh, it's you.
How are you?

Thirsty, as usual.

How about
a cup of coffee?

Oh, I'd rather
stay thirsty.

If you don't mind,
I'll finish this chapter.

Go right ahead.

How's it going?

I'm on the last lap.

What's it about?

Boy meets girl, girl
meets Gil, Gil gets girl.

Gil gonna handle it for you?

The novel?
No.

What's the matter
with Gil?

Why should I send
my stuff to Gil?

Because he's
a good publisher.

Say, nice view of the
mountains you got here.

Does it go
with the room?

Gil Morrell
broke up my home.

Your home is right
where you left it.

Takes two
to make a home.

And about the same
to make a quarrel.

Listen, all I want to do is pay Anne
what I owe her and click as a writer.

When that's done, I never
expect to think of her again.

All I hope is that I never
have to see her again.

Steve, Anne's going away.

Where is she going?

To her aunt's
in the country.

Serves her right.

She wants to see you
before she goes away.

Oh!

Oh, she does, does she?

Did she send you over here
with that message?

No, Steve.
She said to George,

and George told Polly,
and Polly told me.

Listen, lug,
you can tell Polly,

and Polly can tell George,
and so on and so on,

that she can go
to the country.

Steve!

And as for you, take my advice
and keep away from my door.

Biney!

When is she leaving?

Was Steve glad
to see you?

Sure.

When he opened the door and saw me
standing there, tears came into his eyes.

"Gee, Biney," he says, "you're like
the answer to a maiden's prayer."

If I hadn't have kept a stiff upper
lip, I think he would have kissed me.

Well, he wasn't glad to see
me when I dropped in on him.

Well, you don't understand
people like I do, George.

You mean well, but you haven't any tact.

Hey, you don't think there's
going to be a divorce?

No, Steve's
crazy about Anne.

Well, that's great. People who
were foolish enough to get married

ought to stay that way.

Are you going to stay married
to Sugar after all you said?

Oh, gosh, Biney.
If I love her...

George, you're nothing
but a worm.

But what...
What can I do?

Ever since I socked her that day in the
railroad station, she's been after me.

Letters, telephone calls,
wires...

I... I got this one
early this morning.

"To err is human,
to forgive, divine."

So you're going
back on relief?

Say, you ought not to move
heavy things like that.

You're liable to
strain yourself.

A lot you'd care
if I did.

Oh, don't be
bitter, Polly.

One thing I can't stand
is a bitter woman.

I bit a woman once.

Biney, the door.

Oh, dear. If it isn't
one thing, it's another.

Anything wrong?

Those stairs...

We'll have them
taken out.

You want to see
the apartment?

If you please, I...
I liked the advertisement.

Come right in.

Hello.
How are you?

There's the manager.
You can talk to her.

How do you do?
Excuse the looks of things.

Mrs. Merrick's going to the country
and I'm trying to pack her trunks.

I'll pack it
for you, Polly.

Will you, Biney?
Certainly.

The bedroom's in there.
I'll show you that first.

Thank you.

George,
come here a minute.

What do you make of this?

What? What is it?

Looks like
baby clothes to me.

Well, what would Anne be
doing with baby clothes?

Oh, I can't imagine.

Unless...

I never
thought of that.

Does Steve know?

I don't think so.

You know, this is
a real nice place.

How's the kitchen?

Enormous. You could stage
an ice carnival in it.

Maybe he doesn't skate.

I think it's terrible.

What's terrible?

Anne not telling Steve.

Oh, they don't tell
fathers anymore.

Oh!

You know, it's
really very nice.

I don't see why the lady would
want to give up this place.

Well, the apartment was big enough for
two people, but not big enough for three.

You get it?

Yes. Well, I'll go get
Mama. It won't take long.

Fine. There'll be
somebody here.

How did you two find out about Anne's baby?

Now, listen, when Anne comes
back, if either of you says a word,

I'll throw you right out in
the streets, single-handed.

Look, Polly,
all packed.

Well, bless your hearts.

Now let me see you get it
downstairs for me.

I'll get the taxi.

Wait a minute, Biney. I
can't handle this thing alone.

You're well rid of him. He'd
probably get you on the front end

and then drop it on you.

Anne.

Welcome.

Get going.
Get going.

And have mercy
on that trunk.

Thanks, George.

Anne, I don't know what
I'm going to do without you.

I knew it.
The trunk. Goodbye.

Bye, Polly.

Polly, where's Anne?

Waiting for you.

Hello, Anne.

Hello, Steve.

Won't you come in?

Nice to see you again, Anne.

Nice to see you.
You're looking well.

You're looking great.

You don't mind if I straighten things up,

some people are coming in
to look at the apartment.

Well, can't I help? You know, I
used to be pretty good at housework.

Yes, I remember.

Anne, I have
something for you.

What's this?
Part of my debt.

I wish you
hadn't done this.

You'll get the rest
pretty soon.

But, Steve, this is
more than enough.

Not for me it isn't. With
me, it's all or nothing.

It was nice of you
to send for me.

I wanted to see you.

Did you, darling?

About a divorce.

A divorce?

Anne, what divorce?

Ours, of course.

Steve, I'm not
going on like this.

Well, Anne, can't we settle
this between ourselves?

You see, I lost my sense of
importance, I couldn't write,

I couldn't do anything.

You could fight.

I wasn't fighting you,
darling. Just myself.

Things were piling up
on me, I had to fight.

It didn't matter
about what.

It did to me.

Come on, Mama, there's
just one more flight.

You told me there were
only two flights.

I know, and I made
a mistake, Mama.

You deliberately deceived me, Jim Platt.

I've checked
over everything.

Here's your
insurance policy.

Anne, don't leave me like
this. I can't live without you.

You've managed pretty well
for the last three months.

Who says so? I've been so lonely
for you, I could hardly go on.

You didn't do anything
about it, did you?

I couldn't, Anne. First, I had
to win back my self-respect.

I wanted to pay you what I
owed you and finish my novel.

I guess those people aren't
coming back after all.

Anne.

When you've seen a lawyer,
you can reach me through Gil.

Are you going
to marry Gil?

I don't know.

Well, would you
kiss me goodbye?

Why not.

Well, here we are.

Oh, this is my husband.

Pleased to meet you.

I'm Mr. Platt and
this is Mrs. Platt.

How do you do?

Well, Mama, wasn't this
worth climbing for?

You're going to
leave everything?

Yes, it's for rent,
furnished.

We haven't
a stick of furniture.

We've just come
from California.

Come in here, Mama.
This is what you'll enjoy.

He won't be happy till he
gets me in the kitchen again.

Anne?

Are you going to let
strangers move in here,

using our things,
dirtying up our kitchen?

Somebody's got to
live here.

Will you please explain to Mrs.
Platt about that refrigerator?

I'm all balled up.

Yes, of course.

It's very
simple, Mrs. Platt.

All you do is step on the lever
and the door opens. Like this.

Look, Mama.

A place to hang your
stocking on Christmas Eve.

Oh!

I love to snuggle up
to a fire.

My, my, now this is
what I call a chair.

You won't enjoy snuggling up to this fire,

unless you want
to choke to death.

This is one of those fireplaces where
all the smoke comes out into the room

and the heat goes
up the chimney.

Well, I declare!

That can be fixed.

Cost you a lot of money.
Not me.

That used to be
my business.

Oh.

Does the radio work?

Sorry, it's out of order.

Oh!

You fixed it.

Well, that's the first kitchen I've
seen in this town that is a kitchen.

The bedroom's
right over here.

Mr. Platt. Mr. Platt.

It's a very sweet place, but, of course,
the country will be better for your baby.

My husband was telling me.

Cockroaches.

Well, can't you get rid of
them? We tried everything.

Well, that's funny.
Out in California...

California doesn't have
good cockroaches.

Our state's mighty proud
of its cockroaches.

It's just as cute as it
can be. Papa, I want you.

Mrs. Merrick says
we can move in tomorrow.

Mama, I want
to talk to you.

All right, talk.

I...

Private, Mama.

Oh, excuse me.

What did you
tell that man?

I thought it only fair to
tell him about the cockroaches.

I have lived here over six
months and I never saw one.

There's a lot of things
you don't see, darling.

I'm only trying
to open your eyes.

For pity's sake.

Anybody's liable
to have those.

We'll be over first thing in the morning.

Do you want to give
Mrs. Merrick a check?

I certainly do.

As long as I get that
nice easy chair.

That chair doesn't go
with the apartment.

But I thought...

That chair doesn't go. And this
table and this lamp. Steve...

And that couch.
Steve.

And this woman. And this
place is not for rent.

Come on, Papa.

Steve, please. Mrs. Platt,
don't listen to him.

Don't listen to her, she's
not in her right mind.

I understand, dear. I was
like that with my first.

Come on, Papa.

Her first?
First what?

Oh, first husband, I
suppose. How should I know?

Anne, are you going
to have a baby?

Yes.

For a moment, I thought you said, "Yes..."

You did say "Yes."

Anne. Anne.

That's swell.
That's certainly swell.

Two perfect strangers
walk in here from California

and tell me
I'm to be a father.

What's going on here, anyway?

You're not going to walk
out of here with my baby.

Thanks for the memory.

Of meals I used to make

Dishes I would break

No motor trips
but burning lips

From all that burning steak

How lovely that was.

Thanks.

Thanks for the memory.

Of quarts of gin and rye.

How you would alibi.

And how you swore the night you
wore my mother's Christmas tie.

It was a nice
hunk of awning.

Thanks for the night
that you left me.

You didn't seem
worried about me.

Thought you'd
do better without me.

I loved you, though.

All right, I'll go.

Strictly entre nous
Darling, how are you?

And how are all those little
dreams that never did come true?

Awfully glad I met you

Cheerio and toodle-oo

Thank you so much.

Steve.

Steve.

Psst.

He went that way.
Thanks.

Darling.
