Shush.

What for? This ain't a funeral.

Or is it?

Is she really going to marry that actor fellow?

Actor or plumber. What difference?

When a girl wants to get married.

Good.

[ Singing ]

Ain't that beautiful?

I had a voice like that once.

Once is enough.

Excuse me, ladies.

How do you do, Doctor?

My name is Durkee. Rex Durkee.

How do you do, Mr Durkee?

Isn't he good looking?

Lilly is lucky. - Ha.

This sought to be the happiest day of Lilly's life.

And you with your face on you a mile long.

I can't help it.

If she'd only wait until she knows him better.

Come now, Mama. Where is that old Turner spirit?

Rex and I will be happy. I know it.

You were always so impulsive.

He's just swept you off your feet.

Those fine speeches of his.

You don't understand him. That's all. He's unlike the other boys around here.

After all, Lilly has her own life to lead.

Come on, dear. You look gorgeous.

Hurry up. They're all waiting for the bride.

All the luck in the world.

Now, Mama. I'm not moving until I see you smile.

Mama, don't be that way.

Now, Mama. Come on, come on.

Come on, now then.

That's better.

Everything is going to be alright.

The Lord bless you and keep you. Both now and for evermore.

Amen.

Ladies and gentlemen.

I want you all to know you're looking at the happiest man in the world.

I've just married the sweetest little girl in Buffalo.

Stay here and wait for them, honey. I'll get the tickets. Only be a minute.

Gee, can you beat that? I forgot to get this check cashed.

Oh.

Here. Mama gave us $100 for a wedding present. Take that.

Gee, what would I ever do without you?

Gee, I wouldn't mind taking a trip myself.

We never go anywhere.

You get the pay check every Saturday, don't you?

Goodbye mother.

You be good to my little girl. - I say, listen.

She'll have everything.

You're coming from New York to spend the summer with us.

Maybe we get a place on Long Island. How'd you like that?

You'll be crazy about Long Island.

All aboard!.

Here comes Hattie and the crowd. - Come on.

Well, baby.

You're off on your honeymoon.

That's right. Get cozy.

Thank you.

I haven't been on a train since I was eleven years old.

You'll be rolling from now on, baby.

Come on, give us a kiss. - No, Rex. Not before all these people.

What time do we get to New York?

Baby, I was going to tell you about that.

We're not exactly going to New York yet.

That will be later. - But you told me that we ..

I didn't want to mention it back there.

Until I was wise to how your folks felt about me.

See it this way, honey.

Things are tough in vaudeville right now.

So I may have to take up something else for the time being.

Don't you worry, honey.

You just leave everything to Rexy.

You'll have to hurry, hurry, hurry.

You cannot afford to miss this marvelous exhibition.

Professors Rex. The wonder man from the orient.

You mean the rat from the Bronx.

See the professor perform his feats of magic.

That have amazed and outstanded the crowned heads of Europe and Asia.

Now observe closely.

I have here a solid steel hoop.

Nothing there.

Nothing there.

I learnt this phenomenon, ladies and gentlemen, from the holy men of India.

Who have practised it for centuries.

So, for your inspection.

Now observe closely.

Honey, right on time.

I don't know if I should go out with you or not, Rex. I'm worried.

Don't be silly.

Listen, honey. You got personality. You got brains.

I've watched you since the first day you came on this outfit.

Just leave everything to little Rex and you'll go a long way in this business.

But I don't .. - Listen.

I got it all fixed.

I know a swell spot on the south side. They serve the best chop suey in town.

But how about your wife?

Will you stop worrying about trifles?

I told her I was going uptown to see my booking agent.

I don't know.

Say, Hazel. Could you let me have a couple of ..

Pardon me.

You didn't have to lie about it. - I didn't lie.

What's it to you anyhow? - A lot.

You promised to get out of this so we can live like human beings.

Cut out the squawking, will you?

All these six months, you haven't heard me squawk until now.

Please, Rex. Don't lie to me.

I can't stand the lies. - I don't want to know.

Hello folks. How's the happy family?

Hello Dave. - What do you want?

Well, sir. I came along the trail in my snowshoes.

When I see a light in a clearing and I says to myself. I says:

There is white folks living in that there cabin.

How's your throat, Dave?

Terrible.

I got to see the doctor tonight.

Not another nickel out of me. No more advances.

Another thing. I'm not keeping any drunks on this troupe. Get me?

You cut out the liquor or else.

Me?

I ain't had a drink since ..

Since .. - You heard me.

I'm telling you. My laryngitis.

Rex, you know his throat is bad.

You keep out of this. You always stick up for him.

Wait a minute, boss. She ain't done nothing.

Rex, don't. He's not well.

Now, get out front and do your stuff or you're canned.

That was cowardly. - Shut up.

He's half your size and sick.

If you don't like it, why don't you get out too?

For a very good reason. - Such as?

I'm going to have a baby.

Is that on the level?

Rex.

Gee, but you're dumb.

Come in, Dave.

Hiya Queen. - Hi Dave.

Brought you some soup.

Thank you, Dave. - Don't thank me yet. Maybe it's awful.

I brought you two love stories.

Well.

I can read about it anyway.

Much of a crowd today? - No. I've been telling you.

That act ain't the same since you've been out of it.

Yes. I was a great attraction alright.

Nobody could hand him those Indian clubs the way I did.

Let me draw your attention to the fact that this is genuine chicken soup.

I knew the chicken .. personally.

Say. That latest news since you've been gone.

Is Hazel's romance with one of them duck-billed Ubangi warriors.

He is daffy about her.

He'll never be happy until he puts that wedding ring in her nose.

Lilly.

Can't you hear him saying to her:

'Hazel. I love you'.

A little light in here wouldn't hurt you.

Anything I can get you from downtown? - No thanks, Dave. You've been great.

Think nothing of it. I just happened to be passing.

Dave.

Ask Rex if he's coming home for dinner, will you?

No. Wait a minute. Don't.

No. He may think you're butting in again.

Is your name Durkee?

Me?

I have a warrant here for Rex Durkee.

That's not him.

A warrant? - Where can I find him?

Maybe I can help. I'm his wife. - No you're not.

He married this lady in 1927. They've never been divorced.

He ditched me before but this time he'll be sent up.

He took everything I had.

Everything I'd saved.

Hanging is too good for him.

I will be back. Don't leave until you hear from me.

Wait.

Does that mean I'm not married to him?

I'm afraid it does, lady. A plain case of bigamy.

But I'll pick him up at the show. I got a deputy there waiting for him.

Tough luck, girly.

I know just how you feel.

I just talked to Hazel on the phone. He's blown the town.

Hazel saw him beating it for the station with a suitcase.

No, no, Queen.

Don't you worry none.

I'm going to take care of you.

What's her name?

Lilly Turner .. Dixon.

You got a match?

How old is she?

About .. twenty-two.

Married, of course? - Sure.

Yesterday.

And having a baby today, huh?

Uhuh.

Ain't nature wonderful?

You alright, Queen?

Great.

My whole has turned out just as I planned it.

Too bad the kid didn't live.

No. I'm glad.

What chance would she have had?

Got a cigarette?

Come on. Buck up.

I shouldn't be talking to you like this.

Because you've been swell.

I want to buy you a turkey dinner.

And what a turkey. It will sit right up and gobble at you.

You've spent too much on me already. I can't go on taking things from you.

We're married, ain't we?

Anyway, you couldn't go back to your folks.

No.

We'll get along fine.

Lots of time to worry after you get back your strength.

I'll get a job.

There must be some talent show that can use a bright young fellow like me.

Here you are: 'Wanted'.

'Dog-faced boy for freak concession'.

'No boozers'. That's me to a T.

Still waiting, honey?

You're just wasting your time.

I like 'em hard to get.

What say we stroll up to the hotel?

Not interested.

Listen, honey.

Why not be on the level with yourself?

What you need is .. love.

Do they still use that word?

What's the good of throwing yourself away on a drunk that's no use to you?

Come on with me. - No. I got to meet Dave.

Oh yeah? Where?

He said he'd come by for me. - Yeah? Well, look there.

Night after night. Week after week. What are you getting out of it?

Come on, honey. Give yourself a break.

Why not?

Well.

I've been running a carnival show like this for a long while.

I guess I've known a million dames more or less.

Screw.

What do you want?

Boss, I want to tell you something. - Wait. I want to tell you something.

You were drunk last night and the night before.

I won't have drunks on this carnival.

If Lilly wants to stay on here that's alright.

If I catch you drunk on this carnival again, you're through. You get me?

You're canned.

Afraid you're too late, boss. - What?

That's what I wanted to tell you. We're quitting.

We're all packed up. We're leaving right away.

You mean that Lilly is going with you?

It was her idea.

You have to hurry, hurry, hurry.

Step right in, folks. It's all free. It's all free.

The original and one and only Dr. Peter McGill will lecture shortly.

Another show starting in just a minute.

Step right in, folks.

The most attended lecture on the human body ever given.

Step right in, folks. It's all free. Walk right up to the platform.

See the most awesome examples of mankind and womankind the world has ever known.

Folks, what is it we all want?

I ask you. What is it?

Happiness.

And you can't have happiness without health.

That's what I'm here to tell you about: Health.

I can say without fear of contradiction.

That if you follow the instructions in my little book closely ..

You will never be sick again as long as you live.

Now, friends. Before my assistants pass among you with copies of my little book.

I wish to introduce to you.

The most beautifully formed woman in all the world.

Venus herself might envy her.

A perfect specimen of womanhood.

An amazing example of clean living and right thinking.

Hello everybody.

You'd be amazed to know that as a child I was deformed and almost a cripple.

No-one ever dreamed that one day I'd be well and strong.

I tell you now, no woman should be upset by her figure, her face or complexion.

The truth is that thousands of tired, sick and overweight women have proven ..

That fine health and an ideal figure can be had by following Dr. McGill's book.

I am glad to say I thank Dr. McGill for my astounding good health. I thank you.

Here you are, folks. Here you are. How to select a wife.

Hints to men over sixty.

Folks, this little fellow will show you how you can transform yourself.

Into a vigorous specimen of vital manhood.

As he has done.

Frederick the Great.

Tell them about it, Fritz.

Ladies and gentlemen.

I was weak and puny when I was sixteen years of age.

I only weighed 92 and a half pounds.

I became an acquaintance of Dr. McGill.

And bought from him a copy of his great book 'Health is Wealth'.

It helped me outline a combination of exercises.

Designed to fill out hollows in my chest.

Straighten my round shoulders and improve my posture generally.

I thank you.

No, Queen. No.

Don't do that. Don't.

I had a hard time getting that stuff.

A promise means nothing to you, does it?

My throat. - My foot.

You're getting awful tough, Queen.

The old laryngitis. I'm not kidding you.

Barking in the rain. Pulling the peasants in.

My resistance is low.

You never had any. - Look, Queen.

Are you mad?

It's your stomach. If there's anything left of it.

Now look, Queen.

Aha, the beast of Berlin.

You, you.

Someday I break you into little pieces. - Where's your sense of humor?

Always making joke on me, huh? - Pipe down, you two.

What do you want, Fritz?

Lilly, have you got some more of them pills?

They're in your trunk, Queen. - I didn't ask you.

What's the matter, Fritz? That square head of yours aching again?

Yah.

Yah.

Lilly.

You're always so mad with me. What am I going to do?

Take one every hour. - Huh?

What you trying to do? - Now, how did that happen?

See you later, Queen. I got a conference on the sidewalk with a lamppost.

I can't stand seeing you around with that fellow always.

He's my husband, isn't he?

How can you stay married to that drunken loser?

Are you starting that song and dance again?

Lilly.

Why is it you don't like me, huh?

I think it's the mustache.

That's it.

You don't like it?

Don't tell me you're being true to that Dave.

There are other men. Plenty of them.

Lilly.

I want you for myself. - Get away. You know by now how I feel.

Lilly, darling. I got to have you.

I told you a million times .. - Come here to me.

In just one minute I'm going to wrap a chair around your neck.

Well, Lilly. Battling for your virtue again?

Read your book, Doc.

The chapter on coughing.

The apostle of health.

If your public could only see you now.

I'm just a laborer in the vineyards of The Lord.

Lilly.

Sometimes, you're a great temptation to my poor, weak nature.

And to your wandering hands.

Lilly.

Don't you think it's time two magnetic personalities like ours should ..

What do you mean? - You know.

Just a little clandestine meeting?

Maybe?

You mean a love nest?

I bet you could make some woman awful happy.

When?

Some rainy Sunday.

Let's see. This is Friday.

McGill.

You're being paged. - McGill.

You know, Ma.

I was just telling Lilly here that ..

I'm afraid my lumbago is coming back.

That pretzel bender makes himself scarce whenever there's any work to be done.

I am the real strongman in this outfit.

It looks like rain, Lilly.

Dave. - Yeah?

You lock up.

Tell Fritz to follow the main road out over the bridge.

Your private car is ready, Queen.

Well, Lilly. How about it?

How about what?

My mustache.

Don't tell me you shaved off that beautiful mustache.

Lilly, you told me to.

You look terrible without it.

Lilly, aren't you going to ride on the front seat with me?

Without your mustache? I should say not.

Let's go, Fritz.

Goodnight, Queen.

The next and last pose, ladies and gentlemen.

Is an awe-inspiring masterpiece.

Of symmetrical charm.

Lilly.

Cut it out. You're getting on my nerves.

Something is wrong.

Wrong with me?

I feel it.

Hurry up, Fritz. They're waiting.

I don't feel like it.

I don't feel like it.

Queen.

What's the matter with the Heinie? He's acting screwy out there.

I told you that guy was bugged.

What's the matter with him?

Lilly. Hurry up. You've got to go on.

Be with you in a minute.

Mein kopf schmerzt.

Taxi. Taxi.

Take me to the nearest doctor. Quick. - Right.

I demand to know who is responsible for this outrage.

Making a laughing stock of me.

Bringing a medical doctor in here.

Don't you think I have any pride?

What can a medical doctor do that I cannot do?

He did it.

Gee, Doc. Somebody had to.

I don't want to hear any more. You are fired. Understand?

Get out.

If Dave goes I go.

Look here, Lilly.

You heard me. What do you want to do about it?

Well, what can I do?

You know I've got to have you for the show.

Then Dave stays.

That's telling him, Queen.

Well, what you waiting for?

Okay, Mrs M.

The show must go on.

Got a match?

Thanks, Charlie.

How's business?

If my other fare stays away much longer it will be tremendous.

My name isn't Charlie.

You know something? - What?

I like you better without your cap.

You ought to see me in a Derby.

Who's sick in there?

The strongman is having a weak moment.

Lived here long? - It only seems long.

Three months.

I suppose the market crash chased you out of Wall Street?

Right.

When I sold my yacht I bought a taxi.

You know. Something to keep me out of the fresh air.

Where do you go from here?

It's always the same town. The names are different. That's all.

Ask me if I like this life. I'm crazy about it. The gypsy in me.

Good heavens, Doc. Are you sure?

You don't think it's temporary?

I'm afraid not. The symptoms show a positive paranoia.

Probably hereditary insanity.

You mean the guy's think tank ain't working?

We have to get him to the asylum as quick as possible.

We must humor him. He's not to know where he's going.

I told him he's being taken to the hospital.

That he'll be alright in a few days.

Well, McGill. This leaves us in a pretty hole.

What we going to do now?

We'll have to get a new strongman or close up.

He would have to go nuts just when business got good.

Just for a day or two. A good rest.

Where is Lilly?

I want Lilly.

Lilly, I don't want to go.

You go with the doctor like a good boy.

Cheer up, Heinie. Maybe it ain't so bad.

A pal of mine went insane once. He was out of the asylum in just eight months.

Insane?

Asylum?

Take it easy. He's only joking. - No. I don't go!

I stay here. You don't get rid of me that way.

You done this to me. - Me?

I fix you. I get you.

I get you!

Fritz.

No, no, no.

Doctor, I wouldn't go.

Come and give us a hand, will you?

Take him to your cab. It will wear off in a few minutes.

Did you see that guy lift him?

And that's why I owe my entire physical development to Dr. McGill.

If I hadn't taken notice of the wealth of information in Dr. McGill's book.

I would still be weak and puny.

I thank you.

And now, folks .. the finale.

Friends. I wish to call your attention to the fact that this here is a ..

Three-hundred-pound weight.

Don't go away, folks.

The important part of the program now commences.

It will get easier every show. Do you feel like a chump up there?

Uhuh. But it's all sort-of fun. You know.

Beats driving a cab, doesn't it?

This part of it does.

I ain't never seen so much rain.

I think they're planning a flood in this town.

Too wet for you to go out, Queen.

So I brought your supper.

Thanks, Dave.

Where did you get the money?

Out of your purse. I got you some hamburgers.

No onions and lots of pickles. Just like you like them.

Where you going?

There's enough for you. Come on. We'll all eat together.

Sure. There's plenty.

Well, thanks.

You might at least wait until you finish your lecture before you begin sneezing.

Everybody started to laugh. - Good heavens, woman. Can I help it?

That platform out there is draftier than the Grand Canyon.

Look. I'm shaking all over.

Mr Chandler.

Would you have supper with us at the Commercial House?

No thanks.

I'm eating with Lilly and Dave.

Oh.

Too bad we haven't enough groceries. We'd love you to have dinner with us.

Ha, ha, ha.

I'm going to the hotel for something hot.

I'm not used to camping out.

Got any new diseases tonight, Doc?

Don't get funny.

This night air is just crawling with microbes.

Lilly.

Did you notice it was raining?

But it's not Sunday.

I never saw such a run of dry Sundays.

Come on.

Where's the change? - What change?

Don't stall. You took a fiver out of my purse.

I was going to tell you about that, Queen.

Had to get some medicine for the throat.

Bob.

Coffee is getting cold.

Thanks.

Say, this is what I call real southern hospitality.

You said it, Sampson.

Me and Queen have trooped all through the south.

First time was with a windy hooting outfit.

Remember, Queen?

Want some pickles? - No thanks.

Yes, sir.

I and the Queen have trooped through every part of the United States.

Only place we've never been is New York.

You been there?

Uhuh. I went to school there.

Yeah? What kind of school? - Columbia.

A college man, huh? What do you think of that, Queen?

Didn't I always say colleges were fake? Look at him now.

Working in a Honky Tonk for cakes and coffee. Why?

That's why: Cakes and coffee.

What did you study to be?

My diploma says I'm a civil engineer.

Is that so? My old man was a fireman.

No that kind of engineer, silly. You mean you build railroads and things?

Yeah. But right now nobody is using the railroads they already have.

Just making time, huh? - Yeah.

Lifting dumbbells.

Does it burn you up not doing the things you like to do?

Well, I discovered a long time ago that the world wasn't operated for me.

You have to wait your turn.

Sometimes your turn never comes.

If you have faith enough in yourself .. it comes.

You've got a swell slant on things.

You folks like to see some card tricks?

I always knew you were different somehow.

Some more coffee?

Holy cats, Bessie.

You want to break my neck? - Are they coming?

They're right behind us. What you worrying about?

I got plenty to worry about.

A good-for-nothing drunk passed out in the back of our car.

And you do nothing about it.

It's pretty nice for her back there.

Alone.

With him.

It's about time for her to start taking up with another man.

It makes me sick seeing her going after a nice boy like that.

He doesn't know what kind of a woman she is.

He is such a nice boy.

Well, why don't you?

Now, what's the matter?

Just as I told you. They've stopped.

You shouldn't have done that.

I didn't do anything.

Oh no?

Can't you get her out?

We must get a truck from the next town.

Is Dave still asleep?

Asleep? Hmm.

He's unconscious.

There's nothing else to do but to go on and send a car back to get you out.

Lilly. You'd better get in with us.

No thanks. I'll stick to the ship.

It'll take about three hours to get a car back to you.

The rain's coming in.

What are you thinking about?

Is it Dave?

Because if it is, I want to tell you that ..

I am married to him.

But we've never ..

We've never lived together.

He did me a great favor once. Something I can never forget.

But he has nothing to do with us. Has he?

You believe me, don't you?

I believe you.

Of course.

If the Mexican job doesn't materialize I can likely get a job at Boulder Dam.

They're taking on engineers all the time.

I don't believe you're listening.

You know it's illegal. - What's illegal?

For a man to have eyes like yours.

And here I am working out elaborate plans for the future.

Don't let's bother about the future. This is all so perfect.

I feel like I've been born all over again.

Whoa, Lilly. You're talking like an Easter card.

Pull me up.

We mustn't keep our public waiting.

Ladies and gentlemen, I owe my entire physical development to Dr. McGill.

Lilly.

Where is Lilly?

I want Lilly.

If he gets violent again tonight, put on the straitjacket.

Yes, Doctor.

How would you like some nice roast pheasant and some sparkling burgundy?

How is your pheasant?

Pie?

We got roast beef, roast pork, beef stew and chilli beans.

Two roast beefs.

Look who's with us.

I certainly am glad to see you, honey-girl.

It's been a long time.

You made a mistake. I never saw you before.

Excuse me.

I thought you were somebody I knew.

Can you imagine that?

People are always taking me for somebody else.

Got a cigarette?

Yeah.

Thanks.

Cool for September, isn't it?

Perhaps you'd better get in the back.

No.

Bob.

Are you upset over that man in the restaurant?

Why should I be?

You've been so far away from ever since it happened.

Ain't you cold up there, Queen?

Heap big man in the car bringing paleface firewater.

Go ahead, Queen. Keeps you from catching the flu.

You got frost on your hat now. Come on.

It will do you good.

Why not?

Bob? - No thanks.

I'm not good enough for you, huh?

You're the best judge of that.

Sure I lied to you. What did you expect?

I tried to chisel some happiness for myself.

Ha.

That's a laugh.

Nobody can ever hang on to anything.

You don't know what I'm talking about, do you?

No.

No. You've always been a good boy. You got off to a good start.

Sure. I knew that guy.

He was my boyfriend.

What does it matter?

It looks like he ain't coming back. We're stuck. That's all.

Something must have happened to make him disappear like that.

I've a pretty good idea what it was.

It don't matter why he quit. The question is, what we going to do?

Doc.

Are we going to show or not?

I pulled some monkeys in from the street but can't hold them forever.

Unless I lock the door. - Shut up.

We're trying to think.

Is that what makes you look that way?

Doc, these strongmen are a jinx anyway.

I've got an idea.

Why not let me go on and baffle the natives with a few card tricks?

I got a new one. Here, this is it.

Pick a card. Any card will do. - I warn you, McGill.

My nerves won't stand much more.

Alright. You pick a card.

That will do. Go and turn on some music. We got to give some kind of a show.

That suits me, only you're passing up a good bet. That's all.

How you feeling, Queen?

Everything is just dandy.

Well, why don't you do something?

Tell you what you can do. You can ..

And the same to you.

Now we're all set. Come on, let's go.

My thanks to Dr. McGill to whom I owe my astounding good health. I thank you.

Don't go away, folks.

Unfortunately most of us do not give much thought to our bodies.

My book, which you now have an opportunity to purchase.

Will put all the doctors out of business.

I don't expect sceptics, doubters, smart guys and wiseacres will want to read it.

The open-minded, the intelligent.

Willing to learn something to their advantage.

I was wrong, Lilly.

Nothing matters.

Nothing but this.

I wish to present for your entertainment and edification.

A young man who is a marvel of strength and physical development.

If you will only read my book as he has done ..

Mr. Chandler? - Gone over to the hotel.

A telegram for him.

I'll take it.

Sign this, will you?

Yes.

Are them dumbbells made of wood?

You don't think we'd fool the public, do you?

Sure they are.

Come and see the show tomorrow.

And get big and husky like you, huh?

I don't need muscle.

I got brains.

The bathroom is just at the end of the hall.

Ah, Lilly.

You gorgeous creature.

There's something of the creature about you too, Doc.

Something wild and primitive.

You always arouse the beast in me, Lilly.

When I look at you, time disappears.

I see you as the incarnation of all the sirens of the ages.

Tell me more.

You make my life very difficult.

It's just one continuous battle with my lower nature.

Confidentially, Lilly.

What do you say we .. - McGill.

There you go.

Fate is against me.

Coming, my dear.

The Heinie is loose. I just seen him.

Was he riding a pink elephant?

No. No kidding, Bob. I just seen him at the store.

A telegram for you. - Thanks.

Doc. Doc. The Heinie is loose.

What you talking about?

I tell you I just seen him. He was peeking in the window at me.

You are crazy. He's locked up in that asylum.

No. Not tonight he ain't.

He's right here in this town. Loose.

Young man. Let me give you a piece of good advice.

Alcohol has a terrible affect on the brain.

You believe me, don't you Queen?

If you don't cut out the booze you'll see worse things than Fritz.

But I tell you I seen him.

You can't depend on the stuff you get in these dumps.

I've seen him.

Listen. Listen, pal.

Can you loan me a few bucks? I got to get to the drugstore before it closes.

My nerves are shot with this Fritz business.

My throat is killing me.

Sure.

Thanks, Bob.

Read this.

'Mexico City'.

'At once'. Oh Bob.

It's really happened. How wonderful for you.

For us.

We're leaving tonight.

There's a westbound train leaving at 01:45.

But I .. - Now.

No arguments please.

This is the chance I've been waiting for.

I'm taking you out of this.

But how can I? There's so many ..

So many things. - You love me, don't you?

You know that. - Then what you worrying about?

You've paid your debt to Dave. Paid it a thousand times.

He won't stand in your way.

After you are divorced we get married.

It means a new deal for both of us.

I'll do the work I always wanted to do. And you'll be with me.

Think of it.

I am thinking of it. - Then it's a 'Yes'?

Yes.

Pack your things.

I'm going down to telephone the station.

I'll be ready, darling.

Chilly weather we're having.

Yes.

I can't stand the chilly weather.

It always .. gets my laryngitis.

Could I have a few words with you in private?

Come here.

I'll have you understand, young man.

That this is a respectable law-abiding drugstore.

How are you, Mac?

How are you?

Listen, brother. You got me all wrong.

I want a little bottle of Ardurol.

And.

Some swabs.

Why didn't you say so?

Bob.

Won't you come in a minute?

I have something I want to tell you.

Sorry, Mrs McGill. But I just ..

You know, you're too nice a boy to throw yourself away on a woman like that.

You and I could be awful good friends, Bob.

Awful good friends. - Sorry, Mrs McGill.

I got to telephone. Excuse me please.

Hey Queen.

My throat feels like the Chicago fire.

How about a little expert attention? There you are, nurse.

Thanks, Queen, for laying out my clothes.

What would I ever do without you?

You open your mouth like a good boy.

Ah.

Ah.

Ah.

Oh.

You're crying.

What's the matter, Queen?

Because I'm hitting the booze again?

Listen.

I'll cut it out. Honest I will.

I don't want to do anything you make you unhappy.

I'm not unhappy.

I am just ..

I must see Dr. McGill.

Queen.

When I hit this hay you'll never be able to wake me up.

Where is Lilly?

You try to keep me from her, huh?

Lilly. Lilly.

My Lilly.

Bob. Bob!

Bob!

You took away my Lilly.

You stole my Lilly.

Lilly.

I got you now.

I got you. I got you now.

I got you.

I got you.

I got you.

Don't, Fritz. Don't!

You're his wife, aren't you?

I think you should know. His spine is fractured.

What does that mean?

I can tell better when we get him to the hospital.

Will he have to be in hospital a long time?

I'm afraid so.

We'll do what we can.

Say, Queen.

Don't you worry none, Queen.

I'm alright.

Sure you're alright.

You'll stay with me though.

Won't you, Queen?

Of course I will.

Pardon me. But it's going to be rather difficult putting him on the stretcher.

I can't leave him.

I know.

But you must go on. This is your chance. You got to take it.

I can't go on.

Without you.

You've got to.

It can't be.

There's no other way.

But not for always.

We can never lose each other now.

No matter where you are, I'll always love you.

The station agent is on the phone again.

He wants me to tell you he's got your reservations.

Well, tell him to cancel them.

Do me a favor, will you Queen?

Ask the Doc if he's got a bottle.

You know. My laryngitis.

It hurts something awful.
