Hi, Leo.

Say, kid, if these flowers ain't
any fresher than they were yesterday,

we're gonna switch, see? Okay.

Blainey!

Hey, blainey. Put these on ice.

Here you are, kid.

Hiya, Leo.

What time is it?
Quarter after three.

What's new? We had a
big night last night.

What's new about that?

Well, we took in plenty
of dough!

Are you readin' where Walker
knocked out red Nolan in the fourth?

Yeah. Got a great left hand, that kid.

When he lands,
they can all go home.

What's that? From your
shirtmaker. Fifteen bucks apiece!

Why, that dumb cluck!

Look at the size of
those initials!

Why, they're great. I told
'im to make 'em smaller.

And the last time they
wasn't big enough. I know.

But I found out
the big ones were bad taste.

Oh, so they made a mistake
for fifteen bucks apiece, huh?

Well, don't get sarcastic.
They're silk, ain't they?

Well, this ain't tin.
Only cost me a buck apiece.

I call that silk. Why, ya mug,
don't ya know ya got stung?

Boy, ya wanna fight, do you? I love it!

Gee, ya ain't forgot
a thing, have ya, kid?

That's for nothin'.
Now, start somethin'.

Now cut it out, Joe, cut
it out, will ya? All right.

You're feelin' pretty good,
ain't ya?

Yeah, I feel great
after that workout.

I wonder if she'll
be here tonight?

Who, Iris? Sure.

No, not Iris. The lady.

The lady? Yeah, the
lady that sits alone.

Why, ya don't even know her!

That's it. She's got me guessing.
Just the way she sits there.

Well, how does she sit there?

The way she sits,
she stands out.

Oh, I get it. She's one of those
standin' and sittin' ladies.

Hello.

Well, wait a minute.
I'll ask him.

Say, McFadden wants the
beach room tonight. Who?

Tim McFadden, the promoter. No.

Well, McFadden'll spend a
couple of grand. Can't have it.

Buy a lot of shirts.

I said he can't have it.

He can't have it.
Two thousand bucks.

Good-bye, glad to have met you.

Money means everything
to you, don't it?

Well, what are you
in the racket for?

I don't know.

Say, what do you think I could
get for this joint if I sold it?

Listen, Joe. What's gettin' into you?

I can't stand it no more.
I'm sick of the smell of booze.

I'm sick of noise, of being
a pal to a lot of drunks.

I'm not getting anyplace!
What are you talkin' about?

Ain't you the owner of the
"swellest" speak in New York?

How long ago was it when you was a
third-rate pug, takin' it on the chin?

You don't call that travelin'?

No. I'm only wearin'
a tuxedo instead of tights.

I'd give the joint away.

See who that is, will you?

Oh. Did he cut off the fat?

Okay, put it over there.

Come on, Joe.
Your breakfast's getting cold.

Oh, how do you do,
miss dawn? Hello, jimmie.

Well, good afternoon,
bright eyes. Had your bath?

Hello, Iris.

Well, smile, it's me.

How are ya?

What's the idea of the bad mood?

Did you dream of me?

What are you so cheerful
about? Three cocktails, dearie.

You're drinkin' too much.
Oh, yeah?

What'd you want to do,
end up just bein' a souse?

Hmph. Where do you
lecture tomorrow night?

You think you're gonna keep that
face all your life. Uh-huh, I hope so.

You know what you're gonna
look like in ten years?

You'll still love me,
won't ya, Joe?

What for, your brains?

Now, don't you worry
about my brains.

Well, that's a help.

Say, I can take care
of myself, see?

Sure you can.

Joe, what's the matter? Nothin'.

Yes, there is. I feel like
I'm losin' out in some way.

Listen, Joe-

Beat it, dear,
I gotta get dressed.

What of it? You heard me. I gotta dress.

You're getting
mighty particular.

Oh, thank you, Jenkins.

I don't like being
rousted around.

What's up? Frankie guard's
downstairs. Wants to see you.

What about? I don't know.

Anybody with him?
Yeah, a couple of mugs.

Tell blainey to come up.

Hey, bill. Yeah?

Tell blainey to come up here. Okay.

Hello.

Who wants him?

Maudie!

Well, what'd you know about
that? When did you get in?

Yeah? Walit'll I see
if he's here, Maudie.

The ball game.

He's gone to
the ball game, Maudie.

Yeah, sure, he'll be
here by that time.

All right, I'll tell him.
You bet. Good-bye.

What do you know about that.!

So she's back, huh?
Yeah, just got off the boat.

Hmm. Said she'd phone you tonight.

Hey, what is this thing you've got
with women? They always come back.

Say, I'm through knockin' around
with every dame I ever went with.

Even Maudie? Yes, even Maudie.

But she was pretty swell to
me in the old days, at that.

She seemed pretty classy
to ya then. No cracks.

Okay, but don't worry about
Maudie. She ain't crying over you.

She still has class
for plenty of 'em.

Blainey?

Yeah. Come on in.

Wait a minute, Joe.

Hello, Joe.

Hello, Frankie.

Glad to see you again.
Glad to see you. Hiya, boys.

You're lookin' swell.
You think so?

Yeah, how is he? Oh, swell.
He's very fond of you, Joe.

Say, he's a swell fella too.

What's on your mind, Frankie?

Jimmy gaston and his mob was
around to see me last night.

They're pretty sore at you.

What are they sore at me for?

Well, before you opened up here,

I was gettin'
all the business on this block.

Since you moved in,
trade's been pretty slow.

Oh, I see.

You know. You can't
reason with that mob.

In other words, you're tellin'
me to close up, is that it?

Oh, no, don't take it
that way, Joe.

We don't want no trouble.
I'm-we're willing to buy you out.

Yeah? What'll you give?

50 grand.

Make it 250
and the joint is yours.

Don't be humorous!

Listen, that's final. And I
won't sell for a nickel less.

Well, if that's
the way you feel,

you're liable to have some
visitors one of these nights.

Well that's really funny.
Will ya do me a favor, Frankie?

Sure, Joe, anytime. You know me.

Tell gaston and his mob the sooner they
come around, the better I'll like it.

These quiet evenings
are getting on my nerves...

And a little excitement'll be
as welcome as the flowers in may.

I'll tell him that, Joe.
Leave it to me. Don't forget.

And, uh,
speaking of flowers, Joe,

just what kind would you prefer?

Oh, anything at all,
except pansies.

Your last wish'll be
fulfilled, Joe. Okay.

Now, take care of yourself.
So long, boys.

Say hello to the wife, will
you? I'll tell her I saw you.

So long, Joe. So long,
Leo. So long, boys.

All right, blainey,
get back to work.

I don't like it. Aw, I love it.

Say, ain't jellyman here yet?
Yeah, she's waitin' for you.

I'm sorry to be late. I had a
little business to attend to.

That's quite all right, Mr. Anton,
quite all right. Shall we begin?

Thank you. Where did we leave
off yesterday? Let me see.

You were tellin' me about
Andrew carnegie. Yes.

I found out he gave a lot of
libraries away. Is that right? Yes.

He wanted everybody
to read, didn't he?

Presumably that was his
idea. Smart guy, wasn't he?

Ah. You mean he was an
intelligent gentleman, don't you?

Yeah, that's it. I'm sorry.

He was an intelligent gentleman,
wasn't he? Yes, he was.

Was his folks rich?

You mean were his folks rich?

Yes, did they have money?
No, they were very poor.

But they were educated,
though, weren't they?

No, I believe they were
very simple people.

How did he get where he got?

I thought we'd agreed not
to use the word "got."

Well, how did he get where he-

you mean, how did he
accomplish what he did?

Tha-that's it, miss jellyman.

By courage, honesty,
perseverance and vision.

Vision.

Vision. That-

that means looking
ahead, doesn't it? Yes.

Oh, excuse me, won't you? Certainly.

Hello. Yes, Leo. No.

You know I don't want to be
bothered! I'm taking my lessons!

No imagination.

Now supposing you
read this to me aloud.

It is an article that
you should know about.

It is the most important
question of the day.

"The settlement at "lousane"'
lausanne.

Lausanne. Lausanne. It's
a place in Switzerland.

"Assuming that the reasonable
prompt ratifi” ratification.

"Ratification follows by the"-

this is a long one.

"Partic... pating.”
participating.

"Participating nations.”
that means "sharing."

Umm. "The settlement of
reparations reached at lausanne"-

I got it that time. Very good.

"Must stand as a forward step
of tremendous importance."

I'm doin' pretty good, ain't I?

Oh, excellently, but not
"ain't I", "am I not."

Hiya, sugar. How's the show? Okay.

Hello, Joe.

Why, how are ya, Mr. Wilson?
Where have you been? Europe.

Oh. Say, Mr. Wilson, I've been
reading about this lausanne conference.

Is that a lot of talk, or, or
will the nations get together?

Well, uh, nations are like
people, Joe, and do people get together?

That's a swell way of puttin' it.
I never thought of it that way.

See ya later, Mr. Wilson.

Hiya, mug. They're bringing my mother
home tomorrow from the hospital.

You don't know how much I appreciate
listen, mug,

if you mention that again, I'll-

why, how are you?
I'm better now, Joe.

Have you been sick? No,
I just got my divorce.

I didn't know you were married.

Joe, I'm afraid you've been
watching me too closely.

Oh, you got me that time.

Give us a drink, will
you? What'll you have?

You wanna okay this, Joe?

You'd better look at it.
It's Georgie Harrison's check.

Tell him no. Okay.

Hey, Joe. Maudie's on the phone.

Oh, well, I mean you mean what?

I mean I'm not here.
That's what I mean.

You can't still be at
the ball game. It's night.

I'm at a show. They're
open nights, ain't they?

Yeah, sure, they're open nights.

Well, that's great. Give
me a drink of water, Tom.

Well, I told her.
Give us a drink, Tom.

What are you so sore about?

All the time I've wasted with
dames like Maudie and Iris.

You can't have a woman like her,
you're better off with nothin'.

Oh, she's here again.

Look at the way she sits there.

It's funny, but to me she don't seem
to sit different than anybody else.

Oh, you don't know class
when you see it. Yeah?

I didn't know classy gals
went alone to nightclubs.

That's the mystery. Oh,
she's a lady, all right.

You don't think she's here for a pickup?

I'll say she ain't. "Keep off the
grass" is written all over her.

Well, there's a guy
who don't see the sign.

You can't sit here. Oh, come on.

Let's have a little "drinkie."
Let's, let's have a little talk, huh?

You know him? No.

Come on, get out of
here. Oh, don't do that.

I'm sorry I can't talk, I'm leaving
right away. Forgive me, will you?

You mean, you don't want
to talk? Not tonight.

Aw, that's all right,
old girl, that's all right.

There's no hard feelings, huh?

None at all. That's splendid.

It's a good thing you didn't
try to pull any stuff with me.

A very lonesome man.

Why, he's just a drunk.

Well, can't a drunk be lonesome?

Yeah, he can be. I never
thought of it that way.

Well, think of it next time
before you throw somebody out.

It's no fun being lonesome,
Mr. proprietor.

What's the matter,
are you lonesome?

Who isn't?

So that's it. So what's it?

You had me guessin',
the way you come here alone.

Really?

Look. If you're lonesome,
I won't bother you, see?

I mean, if you're just lonesome, I
can't make you any "unlonesomer."

Get me? Yes, I get you.

What I mean is,
if there's anything else,

if you're in wrong,
maybe I can, uh-

you'd rush to my rescue.
Yeah, that's what I mean.

For instance, what could you do?

Well, when you put it like that, I
guess there's just one thing, I suppose.

If you need money, I mean
that's very gallant of you.

No, there's another thing. If
there was any guy troubling you-

more gallant still.

Well, what do you say? I'll
say you're very gracious.

No, I don't want your money, mister, uh
what is your name?

Anton. Mr. Anton.

I don't want your money, and I
don't want anyone hit on the head.

That wouldn't solve my problem.

You won't tell me about it?
It wouldn't interest you.

But it might interest you
to know why I come here. Why?

I used to live here. You did?

I was born here.

Yeah”? When was that?

About sixty years ago.

Oh! At least it seems that long.

What's your name? Healy.

Miss? Um-hmm.

Well, well. It must
look plenty different.

It does.

How would you like to
see the house? I would.

Now? Not now.

Well, well.

Oh, hello!

Hello. This is Mr. Anton.

How are you, Mr. Bolton”? Hello, Joe.

Well, pardon me. Will,
uh, will you excuse me?

I might like to see the house
later. Come back, will you?

You bet. Pardon me, Mr. Bolton.

Well, how do you do?
And how are you?

I even had detectives looking for
you. I had to do some thinking.

Evidently, you had to do something.
I'll tell you all about it.

My ears are yours. Maybe
that's all you want of me.

That's what I had to find out.

Look, dick, something happened
when I said I'd marry you.

You left and I was going
to bed, remember? I do.

Well, I didn't go to bed.

I just told the man of
my choice that I was his.

Why didn't my heart leap?

Not a little?

Then the years fell away
and I was a girl again.

The first thing I knew,
I was here.

I got dressed
and came over here.

But why here?

This was my home
when I was that girl.

Oh. Oh, yes.

So I made believe
I was her again,

the girl who found her first
dream of love in this house.

And I matched that man
of her dream against you.

I suppose I showed up
very badly. I don't know.

I didn't want to see you the
next day because I didn't know.

So I came here again
last night and tonight,

and I still don't know.

Jerry, I'm up against it. The dreams
of a young girl are hard to beat.

Oh, but I'm not young
any more, dick.

I've changed just like
my house has.

Look at it.

It was such a lovely house.

Well, Jerry, what am I
to say to all this?

You thought I was rich, didn't
you? I didn't think about it.

I was. A month ago I lost it.

And I realize
I'm going to be cruel, dick. Go ahead.

I realize if I still had it,
I wouldn't marry you.

My money keeps me in the race?

Now, I suppose you'll decide
the race by walking out on me.

No. I suppose I ought to...

But, no.

Well, see me tomorrow.

Yes, I'll know then... tomorrow.

- I didn't finish my drink.!
- Shut up! Get out of here!

Wait a minute.
Don't throw him out.

Why not? He's lonesome.

Say, you goin' daffy? I said,
don't throw him out. Take him out.

Suppose he don't want to be
taken? Then, leave him here.

You really want to stay here, eh? Yes.

Well, good night.
Good night, dick.

You're crazy if you don't think
we're crazy about each other.

Are you going
to sweep me off my feet?

You'll never know what hit you.

Umm. Where am I? I'm swept! Oh, shut up.

You're not leaving, Mr. Bolton? Yes, Joe.

Yes, he's off
in search of a broom.

A broom?

Yes, he's going to be a sweeper.

I'm afraid I don't get you.

Good night, Joe.
Good night, Mr. Bolton.

Good night, Mrs. Bolton.
Good night, Mr. Healy.

I'm afraid I-
you got me guessin' again.

Oh, a little gaiety
is all it means, Mr. Anton.

It's the influence of your
charming inn. Sit down.

Even the wine seems
more like wine.

Magic spreads its wings afar.

Magic!

Yeah, that's the word.

Magic!

That's the way I feel. Huh?

Everything looks different,

new, brand-new, and shiny-like.

Get me? No. Why does it?

Oh, I don't know, but it does.

Well,

aren't you going to introduce
me to your friend?

Miss Healy, miss dawn.
How do you do?

I don't think I've
seen you around before.

This is my third visit.

You don't waste much time,
do you? Wait a minute, Iris.

She's right.
I have stayed too long.

Will you see that I get my
check? It's all paid for.

Oh, Mr. Bolton,
of course. Good night.

I'll see you to a cab, miss
Healy. Don't bother, Mr. Anton.

It's no trouble at all,
I'm sure. Good night.

Wait a minute, Iris. Let me go!

Come on, be a good sport. I'm not
a good sport, I'm a tough loser.

Come on, I'll buy you a drink.
You ain't lost nothin' yet.

No? And I'm not
gonna loose nothin', either.

He's mine, and no gal from
park Avenue can take him away.

He's only showin' the gal to a
cab. He's tryin' to be polite.

Polite! A mug tryin' to
be a gentleman.

Now, listen. No cracks about him
or I'll punch you right in the nose.

Guy's got a right
to do what he wants.

What's got into him, Leo?

He ain't the same guy
anymore. I don't know.

He just wants
to injure himself, I guess.

Give us a couple of drinks,
Tom. Make mine a double.

Well, good night,
and thanks again.

Will I see you tomorrow? Tomorrow?

Yeah, you said you
wanted to see the house.

But why tomorrow? You're
not thinking of closing?

You never can tell. I have some friends
that may drop around any evening now.

Oh, friends, huh? Yeah, just
pals with a gun in each pocket.

You lead a happy life, don't you? Do I?

Um-hmm. The pirates of today.

That's funny. I just finished
reading a pirate story.

They stole a lot of women in it.

Happy days!

Well, good night.

Tomorrow? All right.

Dinner? Why, all right.

You know, you have something
you must never lose.

Yeah, what? Something different.

I don't know exactly
what it is. It's, well,

exciting.

Or, is it my imagination?

Well, good night.
All right, driver.

Start with the hors d'oeuvres.
I want the Michigan celery.

But that is out of season. Get it!

Then assorted olives,
the, uh, California jumbos,

and the Italian palmeros.

In the center,
I want the antipasto.

Around the edges,
Italian salamis...

And in between,
plenty of Russian caviar.

Hello. Yeah, Joe.

Wait a minute and I'll see.

Did the squabs come yet?
Oui, monsieur.

Yeah, they're here, Joe.

Huh?

All right.
He wants oyster dressin'.

Very well, oyster dressing.

Yeah, Joe, everything's
coming along just lovely.

No. How many times I gotta tell
you it ain't time for jellyman yet?

Aw, she'll be here.

Hello, miss jellyman.
I'm glad you showed up today.

Well, don't I always, Mr. Anton?

Yes, but I wanted to see you so
bad I was afraid badly. Badly.

So badly I was afraid
you'd break a leg.

This sounds like
something special.

It's the most special night
of my life and I need you bad.

Badly. Badly. Let's
can that stuff a minute.

Sit down. I wanna tell
you something. Of course.

And now, tell me. There's a
lady coming to dinner tonight...

That I can't afford to pull any
boners with. Boners? Tsk, tsk.

I've got to make a hit with her, to
impress her. And you've got to help me.

Anything that I can do. You
must come to dinner with us.

To dinner? Yeah.

Here? Yeah.

Upstairs? I want her to feel
that you and I are old friends.

I want us to talk about things that'll
make her think I'm a big leaguer.

I getcha. Oh, heavens, did I say that?

Yeah, but don't say it tonight. I
want you to use all the ritz you got.

Oh, Mr. Anton, I have
never been so excited.

Imagine dining in a speakeasy!

I wouldn't be able to go
through with it without you.

Just seeing you there would
steady me. I quite understand.

Now, what shall we talk
about tonight at dinner?

Because I shall have to leave
you and go home to dress.

And what shall I wear?
What shall I wear?

They look nice, don't
they? Oh, they're gorgeous.

Tony, the table is
exactly right, ain't it?

You're not gonna change
it again, are you?

What's the matter with you?
Don't you like it? Oh, I love it.

In fact, I've had a lovely day,

and I'm charmed to have
met'n up with you!

Oh, Mr. blainey.

I've always wondered
what it was like up here.

Here you are, miss
jellyman. Oh, thank you.

How do you do, miss jellyman?
Gee, you look great. Do I?

You bet you do. Do I really?

Oh, I'm so excited.
This place is so wonderful.

It's like something out of a
book. Anything might happen here.

Aw, there's nothing much
goin' on.

Oh, but there is. There's
a smile on everyone's face.

How does the table look?
Lovely, but we don't need these.

Why not?
We can't see each other.

That's all right with me.
I don't want to be seen.

Oh, nonsense. Jim!

How thoughtful of you, Mr.
Anton. These are beautiful.

Well? Well?

Well? I'm sorry.

Say, I was about-
no, don't say "say."

Look. If I want to be alone
with her after dinner,

I'll give you a high sign like
this, and that means you blow.

Blow? Blow what?

You leave us.

Oh, Mr. Anton,
do I have to go home?

No, no.

Spend the rest of the evening here.
Leo will get you another table.

Oh, I feel as though
I'm going to see life...

For the first time tonight.

I feel like I'm gonna get it in the neck.
I've never been so nervous in my life.

Oh, look. Here she comes.

Get up, get up!

I feel like I'm hanging onto
the ropes. Go and meet her.

Remember the introduction,
just as we rehearsed it,

and then bring her - hello.

Oh, hello.

Gee, you look great.
You're right on time.

You look very sweet.

I want you to meet an old friend
of mine. Miss jellyman, miss Healy.

I'm so pleased. How do you
do? Are you dining with us?

Yes. Oh, how lovely.

Oh, oh!

Oh, I'm so sorry. It really
doesn't matter. It's only water.

It won't spot. Oh!

A toast.

To our house, Mr. Anton.

It is a lovely place.

Andrew carnegie had a room
similar to this.

I mean that
the decorations were-

he was a remarkable man,
don't you think?

Oh, yes. He was very charitable.

Yes, and he had great vision, miss
Healy. That's what the nations need today.

Quite so.

What is your opinion of the
lausanne conference, Mr. Anton?

Oh, uh, you're referring to
the conference in Switzerland?

Uh, quite so.

Do you think that it's just
a lot of talk,

or that the nations
may finally get together?

Well, uh, nations
are like people.

Do people get together,
miss jellyman?

Don't you think so?

Oh, yes. That was, very.
Have you a match?

We're going in with you,
Maudie. My father's very strict.

He don't let me
see boys after 9:00.

Aw, cut the kidding, maud.

Why don't you guys be good and
go home to your wives? Who is it?

The fairy Princess, you mug! Maudie!

Say, don't let those guys in.
They'll wreck the joint.

Hey, gorilla!

Come here.

Hello, Maudie. Where's Joe?
I gotta see that little rat.

He's pretty busy right now aw, don't
give me that. You gave it to me twice.

Yeah, but no sale, no sale!
I'm gonna see him tonight.

Wait here. I'll see if he's
here. I'll be right up after you.

Hello, honey, how's business? Fine.

Been insulted lately”? Goodness,
what beautiful diamonds.

Goodness had nothin'
to do with it, dearie.

No. No, thank you. No more.

No, indeed. I couldn't
take another drop.

Pardon me, Mr. Anton.

Oh, uh, excuse me. Certainly.

Tell Mr. Jones I can't
see him tonight. Yes, sir.

Joey! Joey! Well, well. Come
here and kiss me, you dog!

Let's take a look at you.

You're lookin' great.
Who's your tailor now?

Not bad, huh?

Who's the dames? This is miss jellyman.

How do you do?
Pleased to meet ya.

And, uh, miss Healy. You're not bad to
meet, either. You're still pickin' 'em.

What's your name? Maudie triplett,
one of the blue bloods from Kentucky.

If you don't like the color,
we'll change it. Sit down, dearie.

Oh, waiter, waiter. Yes, madame.

A chair, you mug. The
service here is terrific.

- Have you had your dinner?
- Yes, and a lovely one.

But I could go for some
of that stuff in the bottle.

Well, how about a cordial?
Oh, not for me, honey.

I always take care of this-a
and that-a. How about it, baby?

Mr. Anton, what is your opinion
of the Russian five-year plan?

Do you think it will work?

Oh, uh, that depends,
miss jellyman.

That all depends on how
the bolsheviki conference-

bolsheviki! Why, Joe, don't
tell me you've gone bolsheviki?

That reminds me. Remember the night
we were all at the eaton house...

When a flock of them gangsters came
in and tried to take me from you?

You should have seen this kid
fight for me that night.

This is a delicious wine.

I suggest
that we should try some.

You've got a customer!

Honey, remember our last bout with
champagne? Why, we got so plastered...

Why, they threw us out
in the gutter...

And it took five waiters to do it and
it took five cops to land us in jail.

Oh, Joe, it's just life to see
you. Come here. Crawl to me, baby!

Are you a member of the
red cross, miss Healy?

Oh, yes, I am.

As I was saying,
life is very sad.

This is the first happy time
I've had since I was 27.

You've been buried,
dearie. You're right.

I do nothing but teach, teach!

I hate miss prinny's school
and miss prinny!

Come on, we'll all
hate her, how about it?

Hello.

I guess it's about time to see
the house. All right, let's.

Where are you going? We'll be back.

Do you want a cab?
I don't want to go home.

He said I didn't have to. Yeah,
we're gonna make a night of it.

You go ahead.
We gotta talk it over.

Maudie and I have a great
deal in common. You said it.

Well, I'll see you later, miss
jellyman. It's been a great success.

It's been delightful, miss
triplett. All right, honey.

Anything you do is okay with me.

Oh, she's a great gal. She's
all right. And isn't he lovely?

Ain't he, though? When I first
met him, he was a third-rate pug.

But I always said he
had the makings, Mabel.

Maudie, do you believe
in love at first sight?

I don't know, but it saves
an awful lot of time.

Your glass is empty. I
couldn't drink anymore.

Now listen, Mabel, if you're gonna be
Broadway, you got to learn to take it.

You may as well break in
the act right now.

This night will read great
in your diary.

You said it, baby. Aw, hotcha!

Maudie, do you really think I
could get rid of my inhibitions?

Why, sure. I got an old trunk
you can put them in. Hotcha!

This was our music room.

Yeah?

There were sliding doors there.

They used to lock me in
and make me practice.

The piano-let me see-

yes, it was over there.

Dad loved this room.

I can just remember
mother singing to him.

Your father liked
nice things, didn't he?

And he knew. Excuse me, Mr. Anton.

What is it, jerky? Frankie
guard's downstairs.

Alone? Yeah.

I'll be right down.

Don't you think you'd better wait in
the dining room with miss jellyman?

Let me wander around by myself.

All right. I'll
be back in two seconds.

Wait a minute, Joe.
What's the matter?

Don't sell the place. Why not?

I know what you're aimin' at,
kid. You ain't gonna make it.

Stay on your own
side of the fence.

How do you know what
my side of the fence is?

What made you change your
mind? I don't like trouble.

You know, if you can avoid
come to the point.

Well, you're askin' 250 grand. I'll
give you 200. Don't say that ain't fair.

Sold! See you later. Wait a
minute, Joe. We've got papers to sign.

Can't tonight, see you tomorrow
night. Don't worry about it.

What's the matter with you?

Nothin'.

I don't like you
interfering in my business.

All right, kid, I won't
say nothin' more about it.

Wait a minute, Leo.

What do you care which way I'm goin'?
You're goin' with me, ain't you?

I don't know about that. What
kind of guy do you thing I am?

I never turned a pal down
in my life, and you know it.

That's different. Why didn't
you say so in the first place?

How much did you get? Two hundred
grand. Twenty-five is yours.

Gee, that's swell, Joe.

When I say I'm warnin' you, miss park
Avenue, that means I'm warnin' you.

But my dear girl, Mr.
Anton means nothing to me.

Hmph. Tell that to sweeney.

And I'm not your dear girl.

Pardon me.

Hey, wait a minute! You might
as well get used to me...

Because I'm gonna be your
companion for the rest of the night.

Throw her out. You
mean, "take" her out.

I mean throw her out
and keep her out.

Come on, Iris. I want
to talk to you. Huh?

Hey, you! No cracks.

Have you been looking
at this room? Oh, yes.

That's what you get
for lovin' a guy: The air.

It's got nothin' to do with me.

Don't throw me out, Leo. Sorry,
Iris. I gotta do what I'm told.

If I promise you I won't make no trouble,
let me stay. He won't know I'm here.

Aw, Leo, don't throw me
out. Orders is orders.

Yeah, but I swear I won't do
nothin'. I wouldn't lie to you, Leo.

I'll go crazy out there
on the street. Please!

I'm liable to get into a
jam. No, I give you my word.

I won't do anything
to get you in a jam.

Well-thanks!

Hey, Leo, that newspaper guy,

the one who writes the
columns, says he's gotta get in.

He's gonna stay out. Joe don't want
him in here. He squeals on everybody.

Going home, Iris”? Maybe.

Not the one that John knows? Yes.

What did he do?

Is this the room? Yes.

What do you know about that?

Only my bed wasn't there.

It was over here... yeah?

By the window.

And some nights, the
moonlight used to sneak in.

I made believe it was a sea.

My hand was a boat. Yeah.

I can just see you doin' it.

Geel

I never saw so many pictures.

Ain't they swell?

I had one over there.

Only one? Uh-huh. A
Rembrandt lithograph.

Did you ever see anything
like mine? No, I never did.

I got 18 of 'em.

I could have got the other
seven, only I was a day late.

Perhaps it's just as well.

What do you want?

You! Nobody turns me down! Nobody!

Get over there,
miss park Avenue.

Come on down, Joe.

Near enough?

The show don't go on without
me. If I'm notin it...

You don't play.

That's right, go on
and gasp, miss park Avenue.

You're going to see a show
you don't see on park Avenue.

Well, well, if it isn't
Iris, the little gun girl!

Say your prayers, Joe.

Dear little Iris
with her water pistol.

I'm afraid you're going to
see a rotten show, miss Healy.

Yeah? I'll give you
ten seconds to say your prayers.

So soon? Give us
a square count, will you.

Sure. I'll start right now. One, two,

three,

four, five,

six. Don't hit her, Leo!

Oh, leave me alone.

Well, well, your little show is over.
Didn't I tell you it would be terrible?

Oh, Joe, I'm sorry.
I didn't mean it, honest.

Did I hear a shot? Yeah, the playmate
was trying out her water pistol.

Why, you lying little rat!
Double-cross me, huh?

I've got a good mind to
throw you out the window.

Don't do that.
She might be lonesome.

Come on. Get goin', get goin'.

All right. We're all
washed up, Mr. high hat.

I wouldn't walk across
the street to see you!

I'm awfully sorry
that this had to happen.

I'm not. I loved it. Pirate!

You gone daffy? Get away from that
window before you get moon burned.

When you can't sleep,
nobody else can, is that it?

She kissed me!
You told me that before!

I'm tellin' you again.
You don't mind, do you?

I'm a little tired,
but I don't mind.

She kissed me. She must
love me. How do you know?

Because she kissed me,
and a kiss is a kiss, ain't it?

I don't know anything about them
women. What do you mean, "them women"?

Maybe they kiss because
they like it. They love it.

All right, maybe they love
it, but not the guy they kiss.

What do they kiss him
for? They love to kiss.

What do you know?

You're right.
Nobody ever kisses me.

- I bet you ten bucks you never see her again.
- You're on!

Yeah, I'm on,
and you're off your nut!

Hey, puggie! Yeah?

Bring on the bromo
seltzer, will you? Okay.

Ohh!

No sir, there's nothing
like your own bed.

You said it. Well, it ain't
goin' to happen again.

Ooh. You think
I might've caught cold?

No, it's only a kink.

Are you sure it ain't a cold?

No. What's the matter?

You gettin' to be one of
those "hypocrondicracks"?

Are you studyin'
with that teacher too?

Hey, puggie, can you imagine
that guy worryin' about a cold?

Come in.

There you are, Mabel.

Oh, Leo. Put it right over there, honey.

What'd I tell you, Mabel?
You can always depend on Leo.

How long you two dames
goin' to stay in here?

My dear young man, that's a very
difficult question to answer.

Well, I gotta have
this bed tonight!

Lovely boy.

The price of pleasure.

Come on, dearie, stick
this under your belt.

What is it? Never mind what it is.

It'll put you right back on your feet.

I shall never stand on
my feet again. Atta girl!

Conscious now, dearie? Ah.

This'll do it, honey.

Chemistry's a wonderful thing.

I'll say it is, but I know
a couple of druggists...

That never made a dime
until prohibition.

Oh! That reminds me.

I've got a class in political
science the first thing this morning.

Not this morning, dearie.
It's 4:30 in the afternoon.

Are you telling me the truth?
I wouldn't fool you, honey.

Oh, miss prinny! Why, I've
never missed a day in my life.

Miss prin-
what'll miss prinny think?

Why, she'll think
you double-crossed her.

Oh, no, dear.
Don't-don't say that.

Come on, dearie, take this and
prinny'll take to the woods.

No. No, thank you, dear,
nothing more to drink. Thank you.

If miss prinny finds out that
I've been in a speakeasy all night,

I shall never teach again. That's great.

Maudie, be serious.

Why, this is my livelihood.

Your livelihood? Why,
dearie, you're wasting time.

Why, a gal with your poise and class,
you'd make thousands in my business.

Your business! Are you asking
me to come into your business?

Why, of course. Why not?

Oh! Oh, of course I
I recognize that your business has been...

A great factor in the
building of civilization.

And, of course, it has
protected our good women...

And thereby preserved
the sanctity of the home.

And there, there were
such women as Cleopatra,

and, of course, France owes
a great deal to du Barry, and-

but me, dear?

Don't you think
I'm just a little old?

Say,

what kind of a business
do you think I'm in?

Oh! Oh, please.

Oh, dear. Don't let's
say anymore about it.

Say, listen, dearie,
you got me all wrong.

Why, I got a chain
of beauty parlors.

Oh, I see. That is the
business, a cosmetician.

Yeah, that's it. Oh, I see.

But how do I fit in”? Like a
glove. You'd make a swell hostess.

Oh, yes? Go on.

You see, I'm opening a
little place here in New York.

I'm calling it "institood de
beaut." Not bad, huh? Quite all right.

I gotta have someone who
looks distinguished, like you.

That's kind of you.
Tell you what I'll do.

I'll give you $100 a week and
$1007?

I'll cut you in on the
profits. What do you say?

Oh, it's too wonderful!

Stick with me, dearie, and
I'll make you a platinum blonde.

It's too enchanting!
I-l can't grasp it.

Can I have some of that stuff that
makes miss prinny go to the woods?

You bet you can. Oh!

I thought you were so
sure she was comin' back.

Well, I'm not takin' any
chances. Call up all the healys.

But there's 1,700 of 'em. I don't
care if there's a million. Find her.

I got Bolton's office
on the phone for you, Joe.

Hello. Mr. Bolton there?

Joe Anton.

You think he'll be there
this afternoon?

You know where I can
locate him? Aw, never mind.

Here's the city directory, Joe.

Oh, here he is, Joe.

Well, did you find
her? We never fail, kid.

Does miss Healy expect you?

Yes, in a way she does.
I'll see if she's home.

Your name again, please? Mr. Anton.

Wait in here.

Hello.

Oh, hello.

Well, this is a surprise!
Anymore exciting times?

Yeah, uh, this really
excites me.

What does? This view.

Oh, yes, the buildings
are rather exciting.

But that view's nothing
compared to-come here.

You can see the harbor
from here.

Look.

Say! Well, say it.

I wouldn't know how
to say it. Gee!

What a place to live in.

Yes, it is nice.

This bedroom"s got it
all over your old one.

I'll bet the moonlight
comes in there, all right.

I suppose it does. I don't
notice it as I used to.

That's a picture of
Bolton, ain't it? Uh-huh.

That's another one, huh?

Yes, that's his favorite pony.

Some nag, all right.

You and Mr. Bolton are old
friends, ain't you? Of course.

By the way, what happened to
your friends? What friends?

Miss jellyman and miss trip
what was her name?

Triplett? Yes, that's it.

Oh, nothing. I thought
they were so nice.

Mr. Anton!

What? Please!

What do you mean?

Well, it's rather sudden.

What's sudden about it? Isn't it?

Didn't you kiss me last night?

Oh! Didn't you?

Well, yes, of course.

But that was last night. I was
thrilled. I had to do something.

Oh, you were thrilled,
eh? Yes, terribly.

So that's all it meant.
Well, but of course.

What did you think
it might mean?

I'll tell you what I thought.

I thought you might be in love with
me, see. Now you know how dumb I am.

Oh! Believe it or not, I come
over to ask you to marry me.

Oh, I'm terribly sorry
you took it that way.

Don't be sorry.
I get it all right, now.

You would have kissed any
guy that done the same thing.

Well, I don't know
about that. I-

anyway, it didn't mean nothin'.

Yeah, the pirates of today
are pretty dumb.

So long.

Oh, Mr. Anton, wait.!

I don't know what to say.

But I do know I don't want you
to go away thinking badly of me.

No hard feelings.

And you'll drop in to
"55" again, maybe.

Well, I don't know. Mr. Bolton
and I are going abroad Thursday.

Mr. Bolton? We're going to be married.

Oh! See?

Yeah. I didn't know you
was in love with him.

I'm not. You're not?

Well, what are you
marrying him for?

Don't don't tell me you're
marryin' him for his dough?

Would that
surprise you very much?

So that's it! Well, well.

Well, what”? Nothin'.

Dough's pretty good stuff,
and he's got his share.

I certainly congratulate you.

Why, you talk as if
that's all he had.

No, I got no quarrel with him.

And I'm sure you're gonna be very
happy. You've got all you need.

What did you think I wanted?
Something you had?

Now, now, don't pay no
attention to anything I say.

But I had an idea, see? I had an idea
that up in this part of the world...

There was somethin' worth the
gettin', and I went after it.

But I see now
it was just my imagination.

In other words, you're
telling me what you think of me.

I'm tellin' you, as I look at you now,
you're just another dame with a skirt.

And there's no difference between you and
Iris, except the way you manicure your nails.

Why, how dare you
speak to me like that!

Well, my dear miss park
Avenue, I suppose I dare to,

because I got nothing
but contempt for you.

Contempt!

No, I wouldn't even say that.

You'd better take that back!

I ain't even got that. You're
nothin' to me, just nothin' at all.

And if I was a pirate,
and had you on my ship,

I wouldn't toss you to the crew.

Get out of here!
Get out of here!

I'm on my way.

So long, baby.

I don't get you. You understand
english? I'm not sellin'.

You can't change your
mind like that, Joe.

You're goin' to tell me
what to do, huh? You know it.

You'd better change that tone in
your voice, or I'll change it for you.

Keep your hands out
of your pockets.

Okay, Joe, but you ain't
goin' to be here long.

What you gonna do”? Make another
speech and tell me how tough you are?

No, I'm through talkin'.

That's great. Come on, boys.

See that the boys get out
all right, blainey. Okay, Joe.

How's business upstairs? Great.

What's the matter?
She let you down?

Never mind that. Did
hennessey pay his bill?

Atta boy! Back in your own
backyard, huh? You said it!

Number 55 west
I know the place, lady, I know.

Okay, Tom.

But my good fortune need not
interfere with your lessons, Mr. Anton.

No more lessons, miss
jellyman. They're out.

Out? Out like a light.

And you were
getting on so nicely.

No more gentleman stuff
for me. He's right, Mabel.

What's the sense of trying
to be something you're not?

This guy was all right in the first
place. You only thought you were wrong.

Come on, snap out of it, ya dog!

Always a pal, eh, Maudie? What do
you think of her, miss jellyman?

Wait for me.

Where's Mr. Anton? He's around.

Something I can do for you?
Yes, tell me where he is.

Sit down. I'll find
him. I won't sit down.

Then stand up, and I'll
see if I can find him.

No man can say the things he
said to me and get away with it!

Oh! Just a minute!
Just a minute!

So long, kid. I know what
to do if the worst happens.

Notify your uncle.
Scram. I'm busy.

There's a tiger in the lobby.
What are you talking about?

The lady, miss Healy,
the classy gal.

Did you ever see her
with her Irish up?

Where is she? Down in the lobby.

All right, chief.

Hide your guns and take it easy.

Buy you a drink, Joe?

It looks like
you're doin' all right.

So there you are! Go ahead,
don't let me stop you.

Well, you were right,
weren't you? I don't get you.

You said I was a lot of things.
You can see you were right.

There's nobody as bad
as I am, nobody!

You wouldn't throw me
to the crew, huh?

You said I was like Iris
and I'm here to prove it.

This only proves
something very different.

What do you mean?

It proves that you are a lady,
and a little stuck on me at that.

What are you talking
about? What do you think?

Do you think you'd come over
here if you didn't want me?

This roughhousing the place is
just a fancy way of puttin' it.

Now you're boring me.

If I'm boring you, it's because
I'm talkin' instead of takin' you,

and that's what
you came here for.

You let me go! Not a chance!
This is what you want.

How dare you! Our old
friend, "how dare you"!

Let me go! Let me go! Not a chance!

Frankie guard's here,
Joe! Get the rods, quick.

No, Joe, you can't! Look out!

Oh, Joe, wait! You can't go down there!

I love you! I didn't
know it, but I do now.

Do you know what you're sayin'?

You were right.
That's why I came back.

Oh, I do love you.

Joe! Joe! Come on, Joel!
They're wreckin' everything.

Tell 'em to stop. They're
only wreckin' their own joint.

Oh, Mr. Anton, please
don't say "joint."

Come on Mabel.
Get out those books.

Looks like he's goin'
to take more lessons.
