It looks like we made it.

Here. Buy yourself some new springs.

Hey, Pop.

No.

I'm not your Pop.

Now, wouldn't you like to be?

Is the next train on time?

It says so, don't it?

Why, so it does.

Howdy.

Howdy.

Howdy.

Well. Any time you get through.

Mister, we'll never get through.

You know, I didn't really
expect you tonight.

All this rain and everything.

Even Noah's flood could not stop me.

All aboard.

You certainly are game to come out.

That's five bucks you owe me.
I told you she'd be here.

She's just a rainy-day gal.

That's me. Rain or shine.
- Hello.

How's our man from Utica?

I'm just like the apples
in apple blossom time.

Hello Fred.
- Hello.

How is the sardine king?
- Great. I just won five bucks.

He bet you wouldn't show.
- You'll get it too.

Sweet by a mile.

Get with the cards. Come on, Howard.
Make it a foursome.

Nothing doing.

Come away from these gorillas.

Don't let him pull any strong-arm stuff.
- What can I do?

Go up to there?

I'll get back later.
- Wait a minute.

Where you going?
- Now see what you've done?

Can you imagine her coming 40 miles just
to meet him every time he comes here.

Well, you know .. love.

It makes the world go around.

She'll miss her show
at the club tonight.

Here we are.

For me?

One of the Sorority Company's
best numbers, Bunny.

Howdy.

You are such a satisfactory lover.
- I know.

Gee, isn't that lovely?

Been good?

Haven't cheated?

Not even that much?

It was only two weeks.

I could be away from you for two years.

How long can you stay this time?

Let's not talk about that now.
- Tell me how long.

Two days.

No.

I'm stealing those. The boss has
called me back to Cleveland.

Gee, that's tough.

You know.

I wish there was some sort of dope
I could take the minute you left town.

And sleep until you came back.

So do I.

Then I would be sure that ..
- You are sure of that now.

Too sure maybe.

Come in.

Are you deaf?

Come in.

Hello Ruby.

Hello Otto.

What do you know?

I brought you this for your cold.

It sure hangs on, doesn't it?
- Yeah.

You notice my pipes froze
up on me last night?

Right in the middle of Roses of Picardy.

Gee, it was murder.
- Yeah.

Help me on with this, will you?
- Sure.

Where is Ivy?
Ain't she come to work yet?

Out with a man I guess.

He's coming through
Cleveland this morning.

It's four weeks since he's been around.

What can you expect
from a travelling man?

They never stay put.
It's like being in love with a flea.

Humpty.

Say, why ain't you dressed yet?

I ain't late yet.

Look here.
You've only got six minutes, kid.

Four is enough. Give me some, will you?
- For what?

Humpty.

I've got a new song.
I want to sing it tonight.

You show your legs and save your voice.

Humpty.

I've got to sing that song tonight.
It's for Howard, see.

I want to sing it to him.

Do you think I'm running this
joint for that palooka of yours?

Come on. Be a good guy now.
Be a good guy.

Okay. Beat it.
- Okay. Beat it.

Hello Ivy.

How is Ruby's cold?
- Well.

I know something that
will make it better.

Hi Tony.

Bella Signorina.

Eating?

No. Not a bite.

No?
- No.

Sienna.

Say, Tony.
I want something for Ruby's cold.

A little lemon juice, huh?

With a dose of shatta.

You know where I could get some?

Look. I am asking you.

Come on, get it.
Hurry up and make it snappy.

Hurry up.

Hurry up, Tony.

Tony, the scrambled eggs?

I am busy.
- The customer is sore.

A plate of scrambled eggs?

Not interested.

Ah, that's fine.

That's good.

Tony, you'll either
kill her or cure her.

Thanks.

That is alright.

Tony, where are the scrambled eggs?

Scrambled eggs? I will scramble you.

Here's something for your cold, darling.
Drink it down.

I know what to do with that.

Gee, I wish I felt like you do.

You know how I got that way, don't you?

Where you been all day?

Howdy rented a car.

We went for a long drive
over on the Kentucky side.

Gee, it was swell.

If he don't stop neglecting
his business for you.

He won't have no more
of a job than a jack-rabbit.

But he called on his
customers all morning.

I wouldn't let him start until noon.

Say. This is the break I got.

I had the winner in the
fourth race: 'Joy Boy'.

No?
- Uhuh.

That was a longshot.

Howdy got a tip from a friend of his.

It paid 8-1.

Forty bucks for me.

You lucky little egg.

Yeah. And it comes in plenty handy too.

I have to send my sister
something out in Omaha.

She just had another baby.

It seems like your sister
is always doing that.

Nothing else to do way out there.

Do me a favor, will you?
- Sure.

Go and see if Howdy's come yet.

If he has, tell him I'll see him
as soon as I finish my dance.

Do you think he'll live that long?

He's got you on the
merry-go-round alright.

Yeah. And I love it.
- Yeah?

Hello Ruby.
- Hello.

Shake hands with Fred Geer.
A friend of mine.

How do you do?
- You're on the road too, Mr Geer?

Uhuh. Canned goods. Red Seal brand.

Is that so?

The first year I was married
I used your stuff.

Gee, you put out a
swell can of sardines.

Thanks.

Say, Ruby. Where is Ivy?
- She'll be up after her dance.

She told me to tell you that ..
- Oh.

She's working here, you know.
- Yeah.

Wait a minute, baby. What's your hurry?

How about a little dance?

I'll try anything once.

Say.

After Ivy's number it'll be a moonlight.

Yeah?

But right now, I've got
to see a man about ..

A horse.

Well?

How's your nerve, kid?

I'm alright.

Just before the battle, mother.

She won't make a scene.
She's too good a sport.

The only thing is.

I hate like the deuce to hurt her.

Ah, chicken-hearted.

I know it.
- Now listen.

Just lay your cards on the table.
Tell her how it is.

You decided to settle down to marry your
boyhood sweetheart from your hometown.

There is no crime in that.

You still like her.
But it's only fair ..

That is easy enough to say, but
when you've been going together ..

Well, it's over two years now.

How was I?
- You were great, Ivy.

Was I?

Wonderful.

How is my darling feeling tonight?
Better?

I'm alright.

You still seem a bit absent-minded.

You know, if not for me today you'd
have run right into that big oil truck.

Is it something about business, Howdy?

Is it?

Bunny.

You know I love you, don't you?

Of course.

If anything should happen that ..

We couldn't go on, like we are now.

Would you try to understand ..
- What's going to happen to us?

Nothing could happen.

Sometimes things change.

I don't understand.

I'm not being very clear, am I?

I'm feeling kinda low, I guess.

Oh Bunny.

You are the most wonderful
girl in the whole world.

And I'm going to miss
you like the very devil.

I'm going to miss you too, Howdy.

But you'll be back in a couple of weeks.

Well.

That is ..
- Won't you?

There's nothing wrong, is there?

You will be back?

Why, yes.

Sure.

Well .. don't scare me like that.

I am sorry.
I didn't mean to frighten you.

Go on. I won't look.

We've got nothing to hide.

Ain't she a fresh hussy, Mr Palmer?

I'd give her the air.

The only way he'll get rid
of me is to claw for me.

Gee. I go on next.

Howard.

I'm going to sing a
song for you tonight.

Just for you.

A torch song.

I'll hurry back.

And then.

I see you beat the fourth race today.

And I had three bucks on the favorite.

What? Sorry, I didn't
hear what you said.

Ladies and gentlemen.

By special request.

Miss Ivy Stevens.

Singing What Can I Do?

I Love That Man.

What can I do?

I love him.

Nothing to do but love him.

Longing to find his arms.

I smile at him so sweetly.

Swept off my feet completely.

If you want to catch the train to
Cleveland you've got just forty minutes.

I got an idea. Write her a note.

Maybe that's the best.
- Sure. A cinch.

You got anything to write on?
- Here. Put it on the back of this.

A menu?

What do you expect, embossed stationery?

Here. Write and make it
short and to the point.

This is a rotten thing to do.

Don't take time out. We've got a taxi
out there ticking us into bankruptcy.

Now.

First.

For the good of you both.

If you and her were getting married.

You'd better not see her anymore.

Tell her .. tell her you still love her.

No.

No. Don't put that in writing.

How can I live without him?

What can I do?

I allowed him nothing to do.

Allowed him to find his heart.

I smile at him so sweetly.

Swept off my feet completely.

He may nor be.

And I want to see.

Love, if you dare.

What do I care?

I would work and save to meet him.

When he is away, I need him.

What can I do?

I love that man.

Howdy.

Howdy.

Humpty, where is he?

What is it, kid? What is it?
- Howdy.

I got to ..

Wait a minute, kid.

Listen to me. Everyone's looking at you.
Hold yourself together.

Ivy, what is the matter?

Somebody get some water.

Ivy.

Here, here.

Leave me alone, will you?

It's none of your business what I do.
- You can't do that.

Can't I?
- No.

That's all you know about it.

Leave me alone, will you?
- No.

You've got a lot of nerve.

Go away, will you?
- No.

Can't you say anything else but 'No'?

Yes. If you give me a chance I could.

I don't want to hear any preaching.

It's no sin to die when
you feel the way I do.

Instead of going on living and
making others around you miserable.

Sure it is.
- Then what are you butting in for?

Because I've been in the same boat
myself and found my way out of it.

Maybe if you'd let me
help you, you could too.

There's no way out of the boat I'm in.

The boat is full of holes in the bottom.

Of course there's no way out
if you don't look for one.

If you sit around and
feel sorry for yourself.

I can't change myself over what's
done to me inside, can I?

Only one thing could have changed that.

I'd have done it if
you hadn't butted in.

I could never understand what made me
want to walk across this bridge tonight.

I laughed at myself at first and was
going on, but something made me turn.

So I guess you've got a friend
you didn't even know about.

Yeah. I used to believe in
that stuff when I was a kid.

Maybe you still do if you only knew it.

I said I didn't want to hear preaching.
Now will you go? I want to be alone.

I am afraid I can't do that.

Then I'll call a policeman.

That's alright.

After I take you home you can
call all the policemen you want.

You're satisfied now, aren't you?

I must have sounded like Billy Sunday or
somebody, the things I've been saying.

You know, I'm not
like that all the time.

I guess you've got
nothing to apologize for.

I only wish I could feel the
way you do about everything.

I kinda hate to leave you alone,
feeling so down.

I wish you would come home with me.

What do you mean, 'Come home with you'?
- I live with my aunt. We work together.

Lots of times we take people home.
People in trouble.

My aunt would be crazy about you.

Yeah?

Maybe you've a girlfriend
or someone with you?

Have you?

Don't you worry about me.
I'll be alright.

I've stared at those walls
for two months now.

I guess I can do it for a night longer.

Will you promise me something?
- No.

No, it isn't that.
- No?

We got a picnic in the park
tomorrow for the kids.

I wish you'd promise to come along.

That's funny.

The Salvation Army going on a picnic.

I thought all they did was stand around
on street corners and save your soul.

Say, this is real work,
taking care of a hundred kids.

I thought maybe you could help us.

Or if you don't feel like it,
just sit around in the sun.

I've got a date.
- I am sorry.

Do you mind if I drop around in the
morning just to see if you are alright?

Sure I mind.

Maybe I can call you up then?

I know what you're doing.

You're trying to save my soul.

No. I'm not very much
worried about your soul.

I was just hoping to preserve that nice
friendly grin for something worthwhile.

Don't you worry about the grin.

I guess it will be around for a while.

And thanks for saving my life.

I'll drop a quarter in your
tambourine sometime.

Goodbye then.

The picnic is in Lincoln Park.
Down by South and ..

Ivy.

Hello.

I thought you were the maid.

She's knocked a dozen times.
- Say, where did you go last night?

You had me nearly scared to death.

I came home.
- Yeah?

Humpty wanted me to tell you he
can't hold that job for you no longer.

I don't care.
- Well.

It's your own business if you want
to throw up a perfectly good job.

Gee, let's have some sun in this place.
Some air.

Gee, look. It's spring.

It's a swell day.

Yes. I saw it.

Baby.

I just made a date for us to go
to the races with two swell guys.

Real numbers.

They're waiting at the
Western Inn in a great big car.

Ruby, I told you not to
make any dates for me.

Why?

I don't want to go out with any men.

Alright.

I'm sorry, Ruby.

I know what you're trying to do.

But going out with other men is
not going to make me forget him.

It only makes me remember him more.

Sure. I know.

I'm not as tough as I
make myself out to be.

I guess I understand it only too well.

So long, honey. If you need
me you know where to find me.

Yeah.

That's good.

I want to see what's in the
running today anyway.

Not that it will do me any good.

I'd lose a man of war with my horse.

Gee, the luck I have.

I'll look at in the car.

I can never find anything in this paper.

I might be ..

Let me see what you're trying to hide.

Oh kid. I'm sorry.

I am awful sorry.

She is pretty, isn't she?

That one? Her?

She ain't got half your looks.

Good old Ruby.

Come out to the races. You are lucky.
Maybe Joy Boy will win again.

No. You bet on Joy Boy.

Tell Humpty I'll try to make it tonight.
- That's the girl.

I'll be looking for you.
It's about high time.

Goodbye, Ruby.

Yeah. Well .. goodbye.

Alright. We're all ready for lunch.

Come on, children. Come and get it.

Listen, boys. Keep your eye on that ball
and keep a good firm grip on that bat.

When he put it across you
bust it right on the nose.

We'll try one.

Get right back and keep
your eye on that ball.

Alright now.

Put it over the base.

Watch that, Mickey.

Keep your eye on that ball.

You never even saw it.

That's alright, Mickey.
Keep right on trying.

I'll be right back.

I didn't know you.
You look so different without that coat.

You don't look religious at all.

No? And I was just going to put it on.

I thought I looked handsome in it.

I like you better this way.

I didn't think you'd come.

Neither did I but ..

Well.

I wanted to take a walk and I thought
I might go walk down this way.

I am glad you did.

Sit down?

I wasn't going to stay.

I just wanted to thank you.

London Bridge is falling down,
falling down, falling down.

London Bridge is falling down.

My fair lady.

You know, I never saw ..

Well, one of them without a hat before.

She is pretty, isn't she? And young.

She's nineteen.

It's funny.

I should think she could get a good job
in a show or something with her looks.

She had a job in a show.
- She did?

What happened?
- I don't know.

The same thing that happens to us all
to make us feel life isn't worthwhile.

To you?

Sure.

I didn't care much either after
spending two years where I did.

Did they railroad you or something?

No.

I got what was coming to me alright.

But I didn't realize it then.

I had to have something
happen to put me right.

Maybe I got what was coming to me too.

Living the way I did. With him.

I guess it was wrong.

Somehow I couldn't help it.

When I first came out I was bitter like
you and blamed everyone but myself.

But I've been a different person here.

You know, it's funny how living for
others makes you forget yourself.

But does it make you forget yourself?

If you're with those who have only worry
and trouble you can't think of yourself.

No. Don't touch those, Betty.

Run and get yourself a doughnut.

I got a doughnut.

You'd think they'd comb
her hair once in a while.

I guess Betty's mother hasn't much time
taking care of six and working all day.

Come here, Betty.
Let me fix it pretty for you.

No.

Now, Betty. That's not your hat.

It's too big for you. Come here.

Try this one.

There you are.

For you.

How do I look?

I think you look just right.

Yeah. I'll bet.

I wish you'd wear it for a while.

Just to see how you like it.

Do you mean to do what they are doing?

Sing on street corners and everything?

No. Not exactly.

But we could use a good London
Bridge singer right now.

Sing London Bridge.
- Oh. I can't, Betty.

Ask the lady.

Sing London Bridge.

London Bridge is not my speciality.

You see, I sing red hot blues.

Sing red hot blues.

No.

I think London Bridge is better
for a little girl like you.

Here.

London Bridge is falling down.

Falling down, falling down.

London Bridge is falling down.

My fair lady.

Say, do we have to have that?

I used to know that tune.

If you got to sing it go outside on the
corner with the Salvation Army-ers.

Mr Geer.

Yeah?

There goes past again.

Where?
- Across the street.

She'll be back.
- I guess so.

I'll wrap it up and give it to you.

What did you say her name is?
- Edna.

No. Just enthusiastic.

How did you find the supper, Mr Wheeler?
- Rotten.

That is what they all say.
- A cigar.

You robbers got a nerve charging
a dollar for a meal like that.

At a homing house at Marietta last night
I got a chicken dinner for four bits.

So Mr Wheeler is going to
spend Sunday in our midst.

Hello Fred.

How are you, Cass?
Ain't you off your route?

Yah.
- Thanks.

The firm sent me over from Parkersburg.

The regular man in this territory
is laid up with a bad stomach.

No wonder.

Say, how is the undertaking line?

Never knew it worse.
- Is that so?

I had a great week.

You're a liar.
- I'll show you my order book.

Anxious grocers can't wait
for me to get to town.

Up to Wednesday noon and
never did ten dollars' worth.

Till I hit a new fellow over in Xenia.

Sold him two cases of
fluid and a grave lining.

I don't see how your line is affected.
People got to die.

They don't die fast enough.

Any of the boys around?
- A few.

Just seen Howard Palmer.
He returns to Cleveland tonight.

Don't know him.
- Howdy Palmer?

Park Company from Cleveland.

Howdy has got himself a swell job.

His father-in-law owns a concern.
He got married about a year ago.

I wish I'd married my boss's daughter.

There is the bad news.

A pair of kings.

That finishes it for me, boys.
- Come on. One more.

Nothing doing. I'm tired.
I want to go to bed.

Hello. Hello?

Yes. This is Howard Palmer talking.

Hello Mr Strauss.

But I'm leaving town this evening.

Well, okay. Alright.

There's a break for you.
- What?

Old man Strauss promised to let me
stop in on my way to the station.

Now he wants to come
over here in the morning.

He wants to see before he buys. He must
see the merchandise in the daylight.

I could smack him on the nose.

Nothing like hitting a customer on
the beak to build up your trade.

So long, boys.

Say Joe.

Call and cancel the
call I had in Cleveland.

Hey, droopy drawers.

Take that bag back upstairs.

Of all the tough breaks.
I'm the one that draws them.

You get used to it after a while.

If you'd been on the road as long as me.
- I'll never get used to it.

Rotten beds. Greasy grub.

As lonely as an alley cat.

Howdy.

Shake hands with Cass Wheeler.
Howard Palmer.

Sells only to big users.
One of the speediest boys on the road.

Stops for nothing except railroad
crossings and beautiful blondes.

Not anymore.

I cut that out since I've been married.
- Yeah?

What's your line?

Cass travels for a fluid
house out of Chi.

Fluid?

Embalming fluid.

I carry caskets too.

'Mortician's supplies',
don't they call them?

Underground novelties.

There's a job for you.

Peddling religion on street corners.

It takes all kinds to make a world.

Joe.

Local talent?

No.

They come over from Parkersburg
every other Saturday night.

They ball around for a couple of hours
and then catch the 11 o'clock bus back.

They tell me this bunch of soul savers
has a real good-looker with them now.

Yeah. I'll bet.

All the boys in town
are getting religious.

Mr Geer.

Boys.

Watch me work and you'll never
be lonesome in a strange place.

I draw them like honey.

Hello cookie.
- Edna.

What can I do you for?
- One of those O'Henry bars, Joe.

Shall I wrap it up or
will you eat it here?

Edna. This is Mr Geer.

He's been dying to meet you.

Oh yeah?
- You bet I am, Edna.

I almost tried to pick
you up a while ago.

You'd have had your face slapped.

What's a poor, lonely fellow going to
do so far away from home and mother?

It's too bad about your travelling men.

Edna, come here a minute.

Come here yourself, if you want me.

What's old man Strauss set
you back for this dress?

None of your business.
- No?

Come here.

Sorority brand. Cleveland, see.

My brand, Edna.

And I might add, a mighty pretty back.

As far as I could see.

How do her arches look?

Edna.

How about a little walk?
- Don't get so fresh.

I just came in here for a candy bar.

On Saturday nights the hotel gives you a
travelling salesman with each purchase.

Are they giving you to me?

Hey. Wait a minute, you big stiff.

Edna, I've got an idea.

Can you dig up a girlfriend?
- I might get Betty.

For him.
- That's the stuff.

Run along and dig up Betty
and we'll all go for a drive.

Okay. Go on.

Say, Edna.

You don't happen to have two
girlfriends by any chance?

You'd better go to bed, Pop.
And get your sleep.

You can't rule a guy out for trying.

I guess I'll take a hand upstairs.

There ain't no age limit
in a poker game.

I'll hire the car.

Joe, is there is a
Drive-Your-Own in town?

Yes. By the city hall.

You get the hooch.
Joe, put in a Cleveland call to my wife.

Cleveland 3461.
I'll be back in time to get it.

Joe.

Where has Ruby gone?

Do not wait until some deed
of greatness you may do.

Do not wait to shed your light afar.

To the many duties ever
near you now be true.

Brighten the corner where you are.

Brighten the corner where you are.

Brighten the corner where you are.

Someone far from harbor you
may guide across the bar.

Brighten the corner where you are.

That ends our services for
this evening, my friends.

Tomorrow morning.

We are holding services for the
unemployed in the public square.

Food will be served
to those out of work.

And clothing given to those in need.

Everybody welcome.

Goodnight and God bless you all.

Hello Howard.

I'm glad to see you.

Well, I got the shock of my life.

I didn't know you'd got
into this sort of thing.

Yes. I've been working with
them now for almost a year.

These are my friends, Howard.

How do you do?
- Glad to meet you.

How do you do?

We're going to the hotel, Ivy.
You come when you like.

See you at the hotel, Ivy.

Thanks, Carl. I won't be long.

I can't believe my eyes, Bunny.

It's me alright.

Why didn't you tell me
you were a down-and-out?

I would have helped you.

But .. that isn't why I
went into this, Howard.

You don't mean you're
on the level about it?

I guess it does seem strange.

Well.

I'm happy, Howard.

I hope you are too.
- Thanks, Ivy.

I know you mean that.
- I do.

Of course I do.

You are, aren't you?

Happy enough I guess.

Look, what are we standing here for?

Isn't there a place that
we can go and talk?

I'm sorry. You see.

We have a meeting in the park
early tomorrow morning.

I see.

But I can walk to your hotel with
you without contaminating you?

It's only across the street.

The Commercial?
That's where I am stopping.

Is it?
- Sure.

Goodnight, Howard.
- Look.

I want to talk to you, Ivy.

I'm sorry. I really can't. Not tonight.

I knew it.
Can't I even lift a finger for myself?

Shush. Don't say a word.

This business here
requires concentration.

What is it?

It started out to be scrambled eggs
but it's turning out to be custard.

You put too much milk in it.

Keep stirring it for a while.

And you're the man who
brags about his cooking.

I cooked nothing but beans for
two years so I am out of practice.

Oh.

Gee, this is a swell mirror.

From this side, I look
like Tiny the fat girl.

And from this side ..

Like the sword swallower.

You ought to have mine.
You can see double in it.

You think I can pour the coffee
without straining myself?

You'll get plenty to do tomorrow
ladling out that soup.

There's a whole town of men out of work.

Poor things.

I wish we could give them something
beside sloppy old soup and coffee.

What are you talking about, woman?
We're going to have stew.

With real meat?
- Sure.

Real beef from contented cows.

Here. Hold that
gold-plated service plate.

Sure.

This is not custard. It's soup.

I got tired of stirring.

Save some for yourself.

Fred and the girls back yet?
- Not yet, Mr Palmer.

When they come back, tell them I got
the car but I'm not going in the party.

Tell them.

I'm getting my samples ready
for old man Strauss in the morning.

Okay, Mr Palmer.

Call up Cass Wheeler and
tell him he can take my place.

Sure, I'll tell him.
He'll be tickled to death.

Hello?

Call Mr Wheeler please.

Alright, Carl.

Shoot.

You can ask me all those questions
you've been wanting to.

I don't want to ask questions.

If you want me to know
anything you'll tell me.

We're friends, Carl.

I don't mind you knowing
anything about me.

Then.

He was the one, wasn't he?

Yes, Carl.

It kinda upset you seeing
him again, I suppose?

Yes it did.

A little.

But I got over it alright.

He must have been surprised to see you.

Yes. He was.

He didn't know what to make of me.

It's funny the way people
feel about us, isn't it?

Still .. I used to feel the same way.

But I don't anymore.

Don't you, Ivy?

What a silly question.

You know I don't.

Well.

I often wonder if you sometimes
don't miss the things you used to do.

The dancing and the pretty clothes.
- No. I've forgotten all about that.

It don't seem like I
ever was Bunny Stevens.

That's the name he used to call me.

'Bunny'.

I don't believe I could
ever be that girl again.

I am glad, Ivy.

I was afraid seeing him again
might bring it all back.

No, Carl.

He wanted me to go out with him.

And talk things over.

Then.

Well, here I am.

I don't mind telling you
I was holding my breath.

So I took it out on the eggs.

Never mind. I'll do that.
What time do we get up in the morning?

Pretty early, I guess.

You'd better get some sleep now.
- I could use a little.

Goodnight, Ivy.
- Goodnight, Carl.

I'll call you.

And thanks for the groceries.

Okay.

Give me Ivy Stevens' room, Joe.

You mean the Salvation Army girl?

Yep.
- Sure.

Ivy.

You're right next door to me.
Did you know that?

No. I didn't know.

Well you are.

I call that a break for me.

You just can't shake me, can you?

Listen. I want to see you, Ivy.

You can't freeze me out like that.

Well.

Not tonight, Howard.

Perhaps tomorrow morning
if you're still in town.

But I am leaving tomorrow morning.

Well, I am sorry.

Goodnight, Howard. And goodbye.

Listen, Ivy. Hello?

Hello?

Please, Ivy.

I'm not dangerous.

That's a nice way to treat
an old friend, isn't it?

I just want to talk to you.
That's all. No harm in that, is there?

Of course not.
- Then why be so formal?

Well, I didn't mean to be.

I just didn't have anything to say.
That's all.

I've got plenty to say.

Even though you think I'm someone
who should be killed in the third act.

But I don't, Howard.
- Yes you do.

All I need is a snowstorm
and a big black mustache.

But you're wrong, Hoard.

If I ever did feel that way.

Well. I got over it.

I did want a chance to
admit that you were right.

Somehow, admitting you're a scoundrel
makes you feel less like one.

Doesn't it?

I don't know. I never tried it.
- You see, I know all the tricks.

Just the same as ever.
Aren't you, Howard?

There is dirt in that.

There is hope for this conversation yet.

You see, I was afraid that you
were going to break into a hymn.

Goodness, forgiveness, and virtues are
fairly beaming on your countenance.

I am sorry. I will be serious.

See, I am just wanting to
hear what all this means.

I've been unable to think of
anything else since I saw you.

I'd rather talk about you, Howard.

Your work.

What your rating is now.

If you've told the sales
manager where to get off yet.

Two cents is about my
size right now, Bunny.

I am sorry. I never meant
it that way, Howard. Honest.

I really do want to know about you.

I am of no particular importance.

But you've certainly got a
heap to tell, young lady.

I want an explanation of this.

Does it need an explanation?

You mean you've 'gone good'
in a great big way?

I wouldn't put it like that.
- You're on the level about it?

Do you think I'd kid
about a thing like this?

I guess it was my fault, wasn't it?

I wouldn't say that.

They just happened to come along.
- Who?

The handsome preacher
that looked daggers at me?

Oh, he didn't.
- I say he did.

Anyway, never mind. He came along.

Well.

He made me see things differently.

After ..
- I know.

Howard, he made me realize that ..

There was something
much finer in life than ..

Our kind of happiness.

The stars in your crown
and all that sort of thing?

Howard, I found something real.
Something fine, something worthwhile.

And that concludes
tonight's sermon, friends.

The congregation is now dismissed.

That's just a lot of bunk, Ivy.
You're just fooling yourself.

No, Howard. I fooled myself before.
- More bunk.

We were happy together, weren't we?

And we still would have been if
I hadn't gummed up the works.

Don't think it's been better roses for
me, being married to a rich woman.

I'd rather not hear you
talk of that, Howard.

Alright.

I hope it won't shock
you if I drink this.

I don't suppose I can
persuade you to have one?

Not even a cigarette?

I won't tell.

No thank you.

I'm sorry we are all out of
sarsaparilla and chocolate drops.

Tell me, do they even
allow you to eat oatmeal?

We're not as bad as that.

Gee, you are pretty.

Even in that thing.

I bet you save a lot of
the male population.

Don't talk like that, Howard.
- Why not? I'm still a sinner.

I can't change myself because you wear a
funny long dress with gold braid on it.

It doesn't hide a thing, Bunny.

I am sorry.

I'll be good. Come on.

Now tell me.

Just what do you think of
the salt situation in India?

That's fine. That's the Bunny I know.

That's the way I always remember you.
In that squirrel coat I bought you.

Looking up at me laughing.

I thought you'd given it away
to some starving Armenian.

No.

I still have it.

I am glad.

Why should you be glad, Howard?

Because I am a scoundrel, I suppose.

I like to thing you haven't forgotten
me even though I don't deserve it.

But I have forgotten, Howard.

I had forgotten long ago.

I haven't forgotten, Bunny.

There hasn't been a day or night that I
haven't thought of you a thousand times.

That I haven't longed to hold you.

Sorry, it's impossible for me to be in a
room with you and not make love to you.

You could put on robes and wings
and all the paraphernalia.

But you'd still look just
like what you always were.

Warm and alive and passionate.
- Howard, please.

It frightens you to hear
me talk like that?

It doesn't. But you have no right.
You're married.

I'm out of your life.
You're out of mine.

We can't be anything to each other.

We needn't be out of each other's lives.
Just say the word.

We can still find happiness together.

I can take care of you now, Bunny.
Give you everything you always wanted.

Gee, it would be great to have you
waiting for me like you used to.

Let me go, Howard. I am free of you
and I'm free of your love for me.

You do love me or you
wouldn't be so frightened.

I don't.

You do. You know you do.
- It's not true.

I don't ever want to see you again.
Ever hear your name again. Ever.

Come on, Bunny. Snap out of it.

It's daylight. Pull yourself together.

Don't worry about me. I'll be alright.

That's the girl.

Maybe I can arrange to
stay over an extra day.

And take you with me
on the train to Cinci.

Would you like that?

Sure.
- That's my Bunny.

We're going to have
lots of fun together.

We'll do all the things we planned to.

Now who the devil is that?

Howdy.

We're in an awful jam. Betty passed
out on us and we can't bring her to.

I'm scared to death.
- What of it?

If this gets out I lose my job and home.

See what you can do, Howard.
- What's the matter with Cass?

He's drunk.
He don't know what it's about.

Now, Howard.
I helped you out of a jam one time.

Oh, alright.
- Come on. Hurry up, will you?

Please hurry.

Please get me some more
water from the bathroom.

Put her in the bathtub.
It will save time.

Get her head down.

Here.

Chief. She ain't dead, is she?

No. She'll be alright.

As soon as she gets a shot of this.

It was Cass's fault.
He kept feeding her that White Mule.

Ah, write to your congressman about it.

She's coming to.

Cass, phone down to the office
and get a cab to take her home.

I'll do that little thing.

And don't tell them
what you want it for.

Who is that? Joe?

Cass Wheeler.

Listen, fellah.

Get me a taxi right away, will you?

A fresh-air taxi.

I am going for a ride.

I got so ..

I can't ..

I can't sleep.

Good people of Pembroke.

Flower of the middle west.

I salute you.

Nice going, Cass old boy. Nice going.

That's a pal.

Can that stuff. Get that window shut.

Cut it out, Cass. You'll have
the whole town on our neck.

Leave me alone.
- Cut it out, will you?

Cut it out, I tell you.

Alright.

Alright.

I know when I'm not appreciated.

I'll go where I am appreciated.

Lots of people appreciate me.

If you don't want to appreciate me ..

Somebody else will ..

Appreciate me.

I am going to find some appreciation.

Excuse me. My mistake.

Excuse me please.

That's funny, ain't it?

Try it again and maybe you'll make it.

Haven't I seen you someplace before?

What do you think?

I can place your face but I
cannot remember your name.

I am like that.

I can remember a face but I
can never remember a name.

I was always that way. I tell you ..
- I get you.

You can remember a face but
you can't remember a name.

You haven't been crying, have you?

No. I was laughing.

I think you're telling me a little fib.

I can see a little tear right there.

There's no law against crying, is there?

I wouldn't cry if I was you.

I should say not.

There ain't anything worth crying over.

I guess maybe you're right at that, Pop.

I'm right?

Of course I'm right.

I've dried many a tear in my day.

Do you know what they
always say to me in the end?

No. What?

'Pop, you are right'.

That's what they say.

'You are right'.

'He wasn't worth crying over'.

You just kiss him goodbye.

It wasn't a man I kissed goodbye, Pop.

It was someone else.

Someone I thought would never fail me.

A girl by the name of ..

'Ivy Stevens'.

Don't you worry.
You'll find somebody else.

Yes. I have.

I've found a girl by the name of Bunny.

Say, you'd like Bunny you would.

Let's have a little drink to Bunny.

I'd like to meet her.

Yeah. Let's drink to Bunny.

Here's hoping she stays wise to herself.

You'd better go easy.

You'll get lit up first thing you know.

What do you think I'm drinking for?

I'm trying to catch up
with you, old-timer.

Sister, to do that you'd have
to have started in your cradle.

Know what I feel like doing?

I haven't got the slightest idea, baby.

Like singing and dancing.
- Come to think of it.

I do too.
- Yeah?

Want to see me do a Spanish dance?
One you won't forget in a hurry?

Do I?

I used to do a mean polka.

Wait until I get my tambourine.
I can't be Spanish without a tambourine.

Wait until I get my shawl.

I kiss your hand, Madame.

Say, listen.

Hi, Howard.
You're just in time for my speciality.

I'm glad you snapped out of it, Bunny.
You certainly had me worried.

I had myself worried too. But no more.

I'm a little lost sheep and
I'm going to stay lost.

Good.

Let's all be lost together, huh, Pop?

I'll say we will.

Let's show them how lost we are and
sing a hymn the way it should be sung.

What do you say?

I used to sing 'Where is
my wandering boy tonight'.

Come on in.

The holding services take
the front pew and join on in.

Not so loud, Bunny.
You'll wake people up.

I want to wake people up.
That's what I used to do, wasn't it?

Brighten up the corner where you are.

Brighten up the corner where you are.

Brighten up the corner ..

Brighten up the corner where you are.

Brighten up the corner where you are.

Well, don't you like my song?

What are you looking so shocked for?

What's the matter, Bunny?
What's happened to you?

Nothing happened.

I just gave up my job. That's all.

I've gone back to my old one.

What have you done to her?

He hasn't done anything to me.
- What have you done to her, I said.

What business is it of yours?

Ivy just got wise to herself.
That's all.

She's fed up with the line of hokum
that you've preached her into.

That's no life for a girl.
- And the one you'll give her is?

You're not satisfied to bust her life.
You have to keep trying. Just to ..

I think I'd better be going.
I've got to get my sleep.

Get out of here, all of you.

Get out of here, I said.
Before I throw you out.

Where is your uniform, Ivy?

I'm through with it, Carl.

I'm not wearing it anymore.
- You don't mean that, Ivy.

Yes I do.

I'm going back to my old
job if I can get it.

If not, there are plenty of others.

You don't have to worry
about any job, Ivy.

You've been wonderful to me, Carl.

More wonderful than
anyone has ever been.

I'm sorry on your account if
I couldn't make the grade.

I tried. Honest.

But .. it was no use.

You can't go away like this, Ivy.

I can straighten you out if you
just tell me what's happened.

Nothing has happened, Carl.
I just want to go back. That's all.

Don't you see? I was fooling myself.
I wanted to go back all the time.

I nearly died pretending
to be something I'm not.

That's why I broke out
like I did tonight.

I stood it as long as I could.

Well.

I guess this is goodbye.

I'm not going to say goodbye, Ivy.

Cut it out, will you?

You heard her say she's through.
- I heard, but I don't believe it.

That's just too bad.

Do you mind postponing
your sermons until later?

I really like the privilege of my room.
- Your room?

Whose room did you think it was?

I knew it was not true.

And now I know the reason why.
- Good.

Now that we all know, will you get out?
- Yes.

When you get what's coming to you.

You haven't done enough to her?
Not satisfied breaking her heart once?

What are you raving about?
You're sore because you love her too.

Not the way you are.
- No?

No.
- Carl, please.

It wasn't Howard's fault it happened.

I came into his room.

I'm sorry, Ivy.

I lost my head for a minute and
didn't mean to say what I did.

You forget it.

It has nothing to do with my
not wanting you to go back.

That's easy to believe.

Of course, you couldn't be
expected to believe it.

I believe it, Carl.

I know it's true.

Then there's nothing more to say, Ivy.

If you love him and want to go back.

I'm not the one to set
myself up as a guide.

I just want you to be happy.

Whatever you do.

But if you're going back because of what
you've done .. you don't need to, Ivy.

We all stumble.

All we can do is pick ourselves
up again and go on and on.

Until we find ourselves
through our own mistakes.

It won't make any difference to me, Ivy.

I want you to know that.

I guess you know where
I'll be if you want me.

Well.

Now that his act is over let's get
packed up and get out of here.

I'm not going, Howard.

Huh?

You don't mean to say you've fallen
for the line of gab he handed you?

Don't say that.

Well, it's your affair if
you want a life like that.

Peddling salvation to mugs on street
corners isn't the right life for a girl.

No. I suppose not.

The kind of life you could offer
me wouldn't be much like that.

Meeting you in hotels like this.

Stay with you for a night.

Spending the rest of my time waiting for
you while you went home to your wife.

That's more your idea of
a life for a girl, isn't it?

I know one thing. You won't stick to it.

Won't I?
- No.

Any more than you did last night.

You would say a thing like that.

But you won't say it to me anymore.

I can see things clearly now.

Just what I meant to you.

And what you meant to me.

Why I couldn't find myself.

And the things Carl
tried to make me see.

I was not free of you.

But I am now and I can go on.

Yes, Howard. I can go on.

I've made a mistake.
I've stumbled and I've fallen.

But I'm not throwing myself
away because of it.

I'm picking myself up and I am going on.

..t-g..
