How will you make it on your own?

This world is awfully big.

Girl, this time you're all alone.

But it's time you started living.

It's time you let someone else do some giving.

Love is all around, no need to waste it. You can have it down, why don't you

take it?

You might just make it after long

You might just make

How do I do that?

Well, I broke the stuff.

Here, I'll show you.

What's that?

To give it an antique look.

By

the

way, if you've got any hostilities, this is a marvelous way to work them off.

I can see that. I haven't had this much fun in years.

so I figured if I lock off 50%, I got it, right?

Look, go back to what you were doing. No, okay, please, sit down, all right.

I'll go back to what I was doing.

It's something that you do to furniture.

Uh -huh.

No, really, I'll show you.

a question, but I don't want you to answer with a yes or no.

Why?

Because a lot of yeses and noes would seem suspicious if there's someone there

with you.

There's someone there with you, isn't there? Uh, yes. I told you not to say

Well, how else am I supposed to... I've got a code all worked out. Now listen,

if the answer is yes, say a word beginning with the letter A. If the

no, say a word beginning with the letter B. Alright?

Is my mother there?

Uh, apples!

I thought so.

Does she know I'm home upstairs here?

Your...

some excuse and then come upstairs here real quick, huh?

Well, I really, I don't... Abracadabra. Good. I'll see

you in a minute then. Okay, Rhoda.

Did you see my mother just look up when you said, okay, Rhoda?

your mother? Because I looked out my window and saw her carrying that down

street. She asked me to give it to you. I don't want it, Mary. Your mother comes

all the way from New York to bring you a present and you don't want it. Right.

Mary, I send her $50 a month in New York. You know what she does with it?

Buys me gifts.

And then she brings them to me.

I gotta make her stop doing that kind of stuff, Mary. Uh, Rhoda, she probably

brings you the presents because she loves you. I love her too. But she makes

crazy.

that gift i guarantee you it will be something that makes me crazy no one in

world will ever love you as much as i do

that's lovely to the naked eye it's lovely

but think about it mary i'm 30 years old right and single no matter where i go

or who i meet or how long i may live no one will ever love me as much as she

does that's not a card

could talk.

No cursing, he said?

Listen to your mother.

Now do you understand, ma 'am?

No, Rhoda, I'm sorry, I don't. I mean, your mother is down there and you're up

here and you say you love her, but that she... Mary, you're talking about

Midwestern love.

I'm talking about Bronx love.

There's a certain amount of guilt that goes with that.

My mother wants the people she loves to feel guilty.

Like with her pills.

Her pills? Right, pills.

My mother hasn't been taking her pills for as long as I can remember.

What hasn't she been taking them for?

I've never been sure. For all I know, they're an aphrodisiac.

No more, Mary. Really. If she needs those pills, she'll take them herself.

You're really not going to see your mother? No.

Okay, Rhoda.

Mary.

Ask her if she's been taking her pills.

I'm just having a little snack.

Oh, gee, I wish you would let me fix you something to have for dinner.

Oh, no, I never eat. I just nibble.

Well, if you're still hungry, there's half a chicken in the refrigerator.

Not anymore. That's what I nibble.

If it warms during you take the bed, I just changed the sheets this morning.

Oh, where are you going to sleep? Right here. Just push the two chairs together.

Makes a pretty good bed. Oh, no, no, no. I can't let you do that. Yes, I'll be

perfectly comfortable. No, I'm putting you out. I'm going to spend the night in

a motel.

You think they'll let me in without a call?

Mrs. Morgenstern, you're not putting me out. I found a motel down by the bus

station for only $5 a night.

But, Mrs.

Morgenstern... Oh, I only hope it's clean.

Mrs. Morgenstern, if it'll make you stay, you can sleep on the chair.

All right, I'll stay.

Good.

Well, that's what it cost me in that flea bag, so I'm certainly going to pay

you. Oh, no, Mrs.

Morgenstern, I could take your money. Oh, come on, don't be silly. What, for

sleeping on my chair? I want you to have the money. No, Mrs.

Morgenstern, I couldn't take it.

Well, okay, have it your way.

first name oh mary that's so you going around calling a woman

she doesn't want to be called mrs morgan yeah well i just i can't call her what

she wants me to call her

supposed to, she's taking them. Goodbye, Rhoda.

Oh, Mrs.

Morningstern, where have you been?

Out shopping.

Hello, Phyllis. Hi, Ida. You were out in the snow wearing just that?

Well, I thought if I went rummaging in the closet looking for my coat, I might

disturb some of your lovely things. Let me get out of here.

Well,

okay, Phyllis, there are things like, uh, things like that.

Like what? She's washing the dishes.

What's wrong with that? I already washed the dishes.

Oh, Mary, it's just her way of showing how much she appreciates what you're

doing. Like that gift she got you. Why don't you open it?

I'm afraid to. Oh, oh, Mary.

A lot ridiculous.

two scarves today?

It seemed like a good idea at the time.

Mary, did you get that list I asked for?

What list?

A film.

What film?

Well, the special we're doing tomorrow night.

And don't say it was special.

I won't. But you want to, right?

Boom!

Did I just go boom?

Yes, you did.

That's what I thought.

When I go boom, it's a pretty good time when my blood...

The doctor says I've got to learn to relax or give up drinking.

So I'm going to learn to relax.

Right now.

Murray? What?

What special are we doing?

It's called, Is Air Pollution Really So Bad?

What kind of a television station does a special favoring air pollution?

Well, one when the chairman of the board owns a smelting plant.

Could I have that new insignia? This one's...

Well, you better go home and get it. Well, I'll tell you, I'll bring it in

tomorrow, Ted. I'm just, I'm so busy today. I can't go on tonight without

insignia. Well, all right, I've got somebody staying with me. I'll call and

if she can bring it over.

The threads came loose.

Terrific.

She said she was going to be in all day. What about my insignia?

I mean, if she had changed her plans, she would have told me.

I... want my insignia.

Maybe she's in the shower.

This has to be taken care of. Hey, please, don't flop that at me.

Well, I'm not going to argue about this. I'll just speak to Lou.

Lou? Mary, don't worry what he says to Lou. He can't say anything intelligible

unless I write it down for him.

What do you want to see me about? I know what Ted told you. I was supposed to

bring in his WJM insignia today, and I forgot. I left it at home, so I called

friend's mother, who was staying with me, to see if she would bring it over,

she wasn't at home, which has me a little upset, because she would... You

what's got me really upset?

I have no idea.

I just sounded nuts.

Sit down.

Mary?

Not really tough? What do you mean, not really?

I'd give you a cliche, three dumb words, and you want to argue with me?

I said life's tough.

Well, yes, it is. It's a little tough.

It's getting tougher all the time.

I'm not interested in your friend's mother.

That's tough.

I'm not interested in whether Ted gets his insignia or not.

That's tough, too.

And by tomorrow night, I've got to come up with a bunch of reasons why pollution

isn't so bad.

Well, the chairman of the board is going to get pretty upset at me.

Like I said, life is tough.

You're right, Mr. Grant. Life is tough.

You want to know what else is tough?

If you don't start shaping up.

rotten job around here. Oh, Mr. Grant, I know. For the last couple of days, I've

been just a little off.

No, no, no, no, no, no.

Not a little off.

Rotten.

There's two things I'm trying to get through to you.

Life...

You're getting nervous.

I think you should kick me out.

Oh, Mrs.

Morgenstern, I couldn't... I wouldn't kick you out. Oh, I know it'd be very

for you because you're so fond of me.

But you ought to kick me out.

But I... No, look. Now, you tell me that it's crowded here. Go ahead.

Well, it's a little crowded. All right. You see, now you're doing fine. Now, I

understand that.

Now, do you want to... make it easy for me to go back to New York and make

yourself feel better even though you're kicking me out? Uh, yes.

Then promise me you'll write.

I promise.

sure you get cash.

Use it and the money in here to buy something for yourself, not me.

I'm sorry I couldn't see you, but you know we'd end up yelling.

Love. Guess who?

Oh, that road is always clowning.

Not every mother has a daughter like that.

I wish I could see the daughter I got like that.

talk to you. I could...

Rhoda, I've got to talk to

you. Well, come on in. Well, listen, could we talk out there? I feel a little

funny in here.

I'm sorry, Mary.

I've got to get this display done in a hurry. I think the bride's in trouble.

Listen, Rhoda, aren't you going to ask me how your mother is?

How is she?

She's going home. to New York tonight.

That's how she is. What do you want out of me?

Rhoda, would it hurt you so much to go down to the bus station and say goodbye

to her and hello?

No, it wouldn't. Well, then. But if I go down to that bus station, Mary, I won't

get off with just a goodbye.

I'd see her. It sets me back 20 years, minimum.

Well, then, don't turn around.

Hello, 1950.

working late tonight.

Boy, my mother.

You gotta hand it to her.

She's got a back that could break your heart.

Ah, come on. I always cry at weddings.

Hi.

Rona. Oh, I'm so happy.

Here, let me take that. That's all right. Come on, honey.

You got it here.

Oh,

come on, darling.

greatest coat I ever saw. Now let's return it. Just try it on, will you?

Try it on?

Mama, you take the money I send you and you buy me a coat like this. It's

ridiculous. This must have cost what? Hey, you still leave the price tag in

gift, don't you? Yeah, here.

Read it.

Wrote it. You're not supposed to ask how much a present costs. Will you read it?

$495. Mama!

the money she sends to you on presents for her.

But I was saving the money for her. I don't need the money. Your father's

very well. What are you talking about?

A long time ago, you wrote me that dad had some big business reverses.

Reverses, yes, upwards.

Up until then, he wasn't doing so much.

You've got money?

We're comfortable.

If she says we're comfortable, I think I'm an heiress.
