All language subtitles for Play Girl

I guess you ain't got just what I want.

That's just what I want.

Well that's very sweet.
That's an import.

Please send it up special.
This afternoon.

C.O.D.

635 Riverside Drive.

And have the messenger wait
if I'm a little late.

Thank you.

Hello.

I got to rest my dogs a little.

I been on them all day long and half
the time some carpet is on them, too.

Oh, so you find things hard in
the hardware department?

Hardware is part of my shadowy past.

But the future looks bright and shiny.

I suppose you've had everything fixed.

Hmm. Yes, ma'am. My friend Mr Finkelwald
is doing alright by our little Georgine.

Finkelwald? That old Palooka.

Hey, he's not too old to have ideas.

What department is he putting you in?

The Cane Department.
- Well, what's so swell about that?

It means no more carpenters.

In the Cane Department, I'm a cinch
to meet nothing but gentlemen.

You ought to have a good chance
to meet some crippled old men.

Yeah?

Well maybe I ought to pick out a nice
strong crutch and send it up to you.

They tell me you fall over easily.

Hello, Hon. Hello, Edna.

Say, maybe if we get a raise we can buy
a new percolator for the old homestead?

I hope so.

Where are you going Buster, 'Jewellery'?

'Ready To Wear', I hope.

You won't get more there
than you're getting now.

But there is a commission
there, and also a future.

You think you're going to be a big buyer
and take a trip to Europe every year?

And don't think she won't, either.

Say, she'll be riding those leviathans
when we're still riding the subway.

I suppose you've got somebody
fixing your future for you, too?

No.

No-one has anything to do
with my future but myself.

As long as I just have myself
to look after, I'll do alright.

Alright, girls. Line up.

Now.

Before mentioning the various
promotions and transfers.

I want to express the appreciation
of the Mayfield Company ..

For your hearty support
during the past year.

And ask you to consider
these .. promotions.

A reward for your
loyalty .. and hard work.

Plumbing Supplies.

You should squawk? Look at me with
sinks and bowls and washbasins and ..

Etcetera.

What kind of a man am
I going to meet there?

Well, what are you going to do about it?

I'm going to find the Finkelwald
and bust a pot right over his head.

Looks like I'll never get
away from plumbing.

Working there by day and
scrubbing here at night.

My life goes by in bathrooms.

Ha.

Sounds like a song, don't it.

Say, Finky and I are pals again.

Did I tell you what I
figured out about him?

Hey, Bus. Asleep?

No.

You know why Finky put me in
Plumbing and not in Gents?

Are you listening?

Sure.

I got it all doped out.

He's jealous.

Who?

Finky.

It's why he double-crossed me in Gents.

He's afraid of the cane
and spats trade, see.

But he knows I couldn't go for the
kind of men you meet in plumbing.

You ought to have Infant's Wear.

Women, all day long.

You wouldn't know there
was a man in the world.

Don't be a sap.

There is a man at the back of every
purchase in that department.

Gee, I feel bad for those women.

Some of them are only kids.

Guessing whether to choose blue or pink.

Poor things. Pretending
they're brave and happy.

Well, maybe they are.

Well how can they be when they may die?

Georgine, it's terrible.

For the love of ..

Say .. you're not having one are you?

Idiot.

Well don't until we get a
bigger apartment anyway.

There is hardly room enough
for me. And a baby ..?

What I said is the truth.

I know because I killed my mother.

You what?

Right.

I mean Mama died when I was born.

Well that ain't your fault, honey.

My Grandpa was struck by lightning.

Yeah, but it does happen.

Sure it does and sure it doesn't.

Look at me. My old lady had six.

Yes. And what did it get her?

Well I like that, you egg.

Say, she's got me. And that will
be enough out of you young lady.

And I know this.

If kids could get me out of Plumbing,
I'd have triplets tomorrow.

[ Telephone ]

Hello?

Oh, hello Elmer.

Fine. How are you?

Gee, sorry I missed you at the store.

I got tied up at the shipping department
and when I came upstairs you'd gone.

If you've got nothing
on for Saturday night ..

I'd like to take you to the
Flowerland and dance.

Thanks Elmer, but really I ..

We'd love to go, Elmer.

Oh, is that you, Georgine?

Why, sure.

Sure. We'd be glad to have you.

When? Saturday night?

Sure.

And who will you get for me?

Well, I hadn't thought
about that, Georgine.

Let me see.

Well I might be able
to get Wally Dennis.

No, you don't know him. He's a
swell friend of mine from uptown.

Well, I'll leave it up to you.
I just love a blind date.

But on second thoughts, I don't
think he'd like you very well.

Oh, I don't mean that. I mean
maybe you wouldn't like him.

Only Elmer .. don't bring a plumber.

Alright Georgine.
I'll try to get Wally Dennis.

Bye.

Say, you want to grab off a swell guy
like Elmer and stop being so moody.

He's daffy about you.

The only thing I want to grab
off is a load of sleep. I'm dead.

And stop reading these screwy books.

Why, I want to get someplace.
I want to be somebody.

You don't see Peggy Joyce reading no
merchandising books, and she's somebody.

Her merchandise is the
kind that sells on sight.

[ Radio: ]

"This program comes to you through the
courtesy of the Oakum Plumbing Company."

Ah!

Those plumbers even follow me to bed.

Oh please. Don't be so conceited.

Oh .. oh .. oh.

What is it?

There goes my last panties.

Well.

Now what are you going to do?

Keep off of step ladders.

That's the last pack
I've got of your brand.

When you stock up,
give me a buzz, will you.

Well so long, Wally.
I'm going to a movie.

Hey wait a minute until
I glimpse this blind date.

I may be with you.

Yeah, I'm with you, boys.

If that's the dame he's dancing
with, the other must be worse.

It's a blind date but
I'm not that blind.

Look, Wally. Is that hot?

Oh, ain't that something.

Say, that's good enough to
keep me here all evening.

It's a cinch she can't be picked up.
- Yeah?

I got ten bucks that says
I can dance with her.

You're on.

Thanks, honey.

Pardon me, but seeing as our mutual
acquaintances seem to have failed us ..

May I introduce myself?

Oh, you're Mr Dennis?

I'm so glad you came.
Elmer is out there dancing.

Well, let's not worry about Elmer.

Let's .. let's think about how swell
you and me and this music go together.

Well, at least the music is swell.

It ought to be.

A friend of mine wrote it.

So you're 'Buster', huh?
- Uhuh.

And you belong to Elmer?
Say it ain't so, baby. Say it ain't so.

It ain't, mister. It ain't.

Whose little girl are you then, huh?
- Nobody's.

Nobody's?
- No.

Nobody's sweetheart now?
- No.

Never mind little girl. Don't cry.

Old doctor Wally will fix all that.
- Are you a doctor?

Oh, heart specialist.

Let me feel your pulse.

Oh it's too slow.
For love at first sight.

Oh. No love at first sight?
- No.

Well, second sight?
- No.

Hey, don't you believe in love at all?

You must be married.

Okay baby. You and me.

Say, you're pretty sure
of yourself, aren't you.

I wish I was half as sure of you, but
I will be the next time we meet.

I don't think I like you.
You're much too fresh.

Don't let that bother you.
I think you're swell.

Elmer and Georgine are probably
waiting. We'd better go.

Lady, you've got an awful lot
to learn But I'll fix that.

You know this world is just full of
little girls that I helped to educate.

Sorry Professor, but I
graduated a long time ago.

Well honey, there is nothing
like a postgraduate course.

Please, Mr Dennis.

Here, play this one will you?

Sister, I'll give you a dollar to keep
playing that until I tell you to stop.

I hope it's not love.

Come on, take it. Don't ask questions.

I .. I work better with music.

Don't you just love babies?

Oh yes. I'm just crazy
about the little dears.

Shall I charge him as usual?
- If you will, please.

What are you doing here?
I thought I said last night ..

I told you that you and me and
this tune go swell together.

Well, you have to leave.

Oh? I'm a customer.
- You are not.

Well, a prospective customer.

Alright. What do you want?

Something nice in lingerie.

You know, baby's lingerie.

Or if you prefer we'll start
with something higher ..

Something in 'Hats'.

Bonnets? Age please?

Just a minute.

Six months.

There. There is a lovely model.

Two of those please. They're twins.

Now aged .. fifteen months.

Three of those. Triplets.

Aged two years ..
- What triplets?

Do you run an orphan asylum?

Certainly not. I wouldn't get up this
early for any children except my own.

Why didn't you bring your wife
and let her pick them out?

Oh, I'm not married.

These are from my Hope Chest.

Look at that.

You know, what this country
needs is more young men with ..

Oh, never mind. I'll let you
know all about that at lunch.

Oh yes?

Well, perhaps not all. Maybe I'd better
save a few of the details for dinner.

And what about breakfast?

Well I am easily persuaded.
- Can I be of any assistance?

No. No thanks.

I'll take those with me.
- The twelve dollars, please.

I'll see you Monday.

Well that will be just swell because I
won't be here. I'm going on my vacation.

That's great. Where you going?
- Wouldn't you like to know.

Sure. That's why I asked you.

I'm very busy. Someone needs me.

And I'm that somebody.

Hello.
- Hello.

What's the matter with you?

Oh, I never worked as hard in my
life as I have on this vacation.

I'll be glad to get back
to the store for a rest.

I won't. I think it's gorgeous up here.

I'm so sore from riding horseback
with old Finky I can't sit down.

My feet are so sore I can't stand up.

All I can do is lay down.

And after all, I've got
to think of my reputation.

Say .. what's the
basket of pastries for?

Going out into the woods to
play Little Red Riding Hood?

Wally and I are going on a little hike.

Finky and I are going
on a little hike too.

About sixteen miles.

He used to be a floor walker and he's
sure having a floor walker's holiday.

Darling, are you doing it for love?

No, I'm doing it for hate.

Hate?

Yes, I hate plumbers.
- Oh.

If I keep on being nice to Finky he's
going to get me out of that department.

Say.

Speaking of hiking for love,
how about you and that Wally guy?

Oh don't be a nut. We're
not in love with each other.

No?
- No.

I suppose he just followed you up
here because he likes the fresh air?

Yes.
- Hmm.

He's stopping over at the hotel
because he likes the fresh vegetables.

Yes.
- Hmm.

He's not in love with you?
- No.

And you're not in love with him?
- No.

You just go around with him
because you like his collars.

Don't be silly.

You know, I don't
believe in falling in love.

I don't believe in walking either,
but I'm going on a hike with Fink.

Well don't you worry about me.

There is one hike I'll never take.

And that's that long one down
the church aisle with the veil.

Goodbye darling. I'll see you later.

Hey.

Look out for the grasshoppers.

Wally.

Wally.

Hey, what time is it? Am I late?

Oh no .. just an hour or so.

I'm sorry honey, I was up all night.

What happened?

I got into a poker game with some of the
boys and didn't turn in until daybreak.

Well hurry up, will you.

Say, bring your records and
Victrola. I've got the lunch.

Gee, it's been a swell two weeks.

You know, you're awful sweet, Wally.

I didn't like you at first.
I couldn't stand your freshness.

But I was all wrong.
That's just a pose with you.

Then give us a kiss.

With pleasure.

That's a mighty poor brand
for this day and age.

Well, what kind would you like, sir?

Oh send over some samples.
What kind you got?

Well, I have animal,
mineral and vegetable.

Oh .. animal?

That's a puppy dog.

No more zoo. What next?

Eskimo.

Listen lady, I want
a kiss. Not a kid's toy.

Alright.

There you are. A kiss with respect.

How about a little affection?

Affection?

Well. It's getting warmer, but ..

Here, shoot at this.

How was that?
- Oh. No technique.

Why they can do better than that
in movies. Come on Gable, get hot.

Wally, don't.

Don't, Wally.

Well, kid.

What are we going to do?

I don't know.

Well I do. We're going to cut out this
monkey business and get married.

You're not going to turn me down?
- No, Wally. But ..

I didn't want to get married.
- Well neither did I, but ..

I'm crazy about you.

I'm crazy about you, too.

I never thought I'd fall.

I always wanted to make something
of myself. Be somebody.

Well here is your big opportunity
to make something out of me.

And that's a job and no kidding.

Come on, Bus. We'll have fun.

My firm is ..

Is sending me to a new territory in a
few months. We'll have plenty of money.

We'll have a regular honeymoon, huh?

How about it, baby?

Come on. Say 'yes', will you?

We'll be awfully happy, Bus.

Ah, Georgine.

Isn't this wonderful?

Isn't this invigorating?

Yeah.

But after we get there, where are we?

Oh my dogs.

Come on, Georgine. This is great.

Yeah.

It's wonderful. I'm enjoying myself.

Oh, Finky.

I'm all in.

Let's sit down and rest.

Sit down.

There is something I want
to say to you, Miss Hicks.

'Georgine', if I may.
- Yes, Finky?

It's been my dream
for a long, long time.

I'm ..

I'm building a house, Georgine.

Oh Finky.

Just a little nest in the country.

And.

And there is something
I want to ask you.

What?

These are the plans for
the little nest, Georgine.

And I want your advice.

On the most important room in the house.

Oh Finky.

Oh you.

And you made a mountain goat
out of me just to ask me that?

Why .. Georgine ..

Yeah, well I don't.

I don't either, really. Are you going?

Yeah, I hate to, but I got to
see this bird on business.

Hey, here is some dough.
Do some shopping, will you.

I'm going to do all that back home.

You run along darling. Don't worry
about me. I'm going to write the girls.

What will you tell them?

That I'm the happiest girl
this side of paradise.

Goodbye, sweet.
- Bye, honey.

Well, that's that.

Gee, it's two o'clock
in Caliente right now.

Yes. And it's midnight in Japan.

Say, how much money you got?

I've got plenty, darling.

How much?

Oh .. seventy dollars or so.

Why?

I'm broke. That's all.

Broke?
- Flat.

I can hock something, I guess.

Martie Happ.

Who is Martie?

Why, Wally Dennis.

Did you lose your money gambling?

Well a guy can't expect
to win all the time.

What do you mean, all the time?

Well, every day.
- You mean you gamble every day?

Sure. How do you think I get my dough?

Why, your salary of course.

Haven't you got a salary?
- Sure. When I win.

But you don't depend on
that for a living, do you?

Wally, haven't you got a job at all?

No.

I lied to you, honey.
I make my money gambling.

Oh.

Are you mad?

Don't worry, honey. I'll win next time.

Oh gee, Hon.

I was so happy, Wally.

Everything was going to be so swell.

Now it's all gone.
- It will still be swell, Bus.

No it won't, Wally. You lied to me.

You even married me on a lie.

Now that ruins everything.

I know I lied to you but I wanted you so
much I'd have done anything to get you.

I didn't have a job like I said, but ..

I had plenty of money
and I knew I'd get more.

You see, I've always been lucky.

Then when I got you, it was
the biggest break of my life.

I had the most wonderful
girl in the world.

All I wanted was to get her
everything and make her happy.

It didn't look as if
anything could stop me.

Swell clothes like that, honey.

Those are the kind of
things you ought to have.

I couldn't get them for you
on any old $30-a-week job.

Don't you see I had to take chances?

I played for the biggest
stake in my life, honey.

I was gambling for your happiness.

With a girl like you I just couldn't
plug along year after year ..

Never getting anywhere
and always just hoping.

I thought that would kill our love.

I only wanted you to be happy.

I thought if I got you everything
you wanted you would be happy.

I didn't think just because I got it by
gambling it would make you unhappy.

I didn't think I was taking
a chance on losing you.

Gee baby, I lied to
you to get you but ..

I'll do anything now to keep
you and make you happy.

I know I've four-flushed but ..

I didn't think you'd give me a tumble
if I didn't show you a good time.

Wally, I don't want a good time.

I just want to be safe.

Alright. I guess work won't hurt me.

I know a friend who'll
give me a job selling.

How's that? I promise
to get a regular job.

On your word of honor?
- On my word of honor.

Alright. Alright, look.

Look, here is twenty.

20 - 40 - 60.

70 - 75 dollars. Here.

Now go down and pay the bill and
get two tickets for tonight's train.

Where to, lady?
- Home and a job.

You're the boss.

[ Buzzer ]

Georgie.
- Buster.

Hail the bride. Married three
months and still smiling.

Oh honestly Hon,
it's just been wonderful.

It must have been wonderful the
way you two have kept to yourselves.

Hmm .. this is a pretty classy joint.

Where's the bunch?
- They'll be here in a minute.

Say, I thought you were
bringing Finky too.

He'll be here later. He's working.

Wait a minute. There is somebody now.

Oh hello, Elmer.
- Hello, Buster.

Hello, Edna.

Hello.

Garbo is in again.

Come on in, Edna. Come in.
The party is not in the hall you know.

Give me your hat and coat.
Shut the door, Elmer.

Hello.

Here's a little present for you, Buster.

Oh thanks, Elmer.

Come on, sit down right here.

Well, the honeymoon is over when you
start inviting people in for company.

We just got settled, Edna.

We stayed at a hotel until we
found the place we wanted.

As I remember, you were the girl
that never wanted to settle down ..

And become a 'Mrs anybody'.

Yeah?

Well a girl living in a place like this
must have a 'Mrs' in front of her name.

To keep people from talking.

I'm glad you like it, Hon.

Let's put your stuff in the bedroom.

Can I see the bedroom?
- Yes.

You usually do.

Yeah?

Well you ought to know.

I generally meet you coming out.

Come on, Edna.

Oh Buster, I like this.

Say, this is swell.
- Come on, let me have your wrap.

Hey, don't you know it's bad
luck to put a hat on a bed.

You know I don't believe
in depending on luck.

As I remember, you were
the girl who said ..

She believed in working
for what she got.

You're right, Edna.

Oh Buster. Gee, this is cute.

New clothes, too.

Say I'd take the fatal leap myself ..

If I could land in a closet
full of clothes like that.

Say, this is different to the days when
we only had one pair of panties a piece.

Bragging again.

You know, Bus.

I never liked that guy Wally.

But I've got to admit he's
doing alright by you.

I'll say he is.

Say, we'd better go back in the living
room. Elmer is there all alone. Come.

Come on, Edna.

Well Elmer, how you been?
How is everything at the store?

Oh everything is just about the
same except of course we miss you.

Oh thanks, that's sweet. Now come on,
sit down and make yourself comfortable.

Say, where is Wally? Working?

Yes, he phoned.
He might be a little bit late.

Now I know the honeymoon is over.

Well, he ought to be
here any minute now.

There he is now.

That's what I call a perfect husband.
He always knocks before he comes in.

Oh, hello Mr Finkelwald.

Flowers for the blushing bride.

Ah, they are beautiful.
I'll put them in water right away.

You don't have to. They're wax.

I got them off the Notions counter.

He would.

Say, what made you so late? Were
you waiting for that first anniversary?

No, I was working.

Say, why don't you two get married?

He knows all the answers.

Ah, go pump up your bicycle.

You look awfully married for a girl
who was never going to marry.

That was just a crazy
idea of mine, darling.

I've changed my mind
and I was all wrong.

You'll find out in a couple of years.

You were right in the first place.

Oh .. oh where is the proud young groom?

He's working too.

You know.

Oh quit your kidding.
He is working, really.

[ Telephone ]

Hello?

Oh, hello sweet.

Why sure. What happened?
We're all sitting here waiting for you.

Well I'm sorry baby, but I won't
be able to get there for a while.

I'm working on a little proposition.

Of course Wally, if you have to
work, but I wish you were here.

I feel like I was left waiting
at the church steps.

Well I'll get home just
as soon as I can but ..

I just got to stick with this deal.

Oh, it's a honey.

I'll be seeing you.

Bye, babe.

Alright boys, deal me in.
I can take another half hour.

Do you think your wife will mind
if we deal a hand of stud this time?

Oh don't .. come on, let's have them.

There you are.

Wally.

Hello, Hon.

Hey, where is everybody, gone?

Why of course they've gone.
It's after two o'clock.

It is?

Gee, I didn't know it
was as late as that.

You made it nice for me, you not coming.

Tonight was supposed to
be my big night you know.

I wanted all my friends to see
how happy I was with all this.

Well they saw I had everything.
Everything except a husband.

I'm sorry honey, but you explained
to them I had to work, didn't you?

You don't think they
believed that do you?

You think I believed it?

That's a nice way to talk to a guy
that's worked as hard as me.

Wally, you weren't working.
You were at a gambling den.

Oh, I was, was I?
- Now let's not kid each other.

Oh well, suppose I was?

It's better than talking to your noisy
pal Georgine or that puffy Finkelbottom.

That guy reminds me of
a strawberry lollipop.

You promised on a word of honor
you'd get a job and you haven't done.

How you think I got the
dough to pay for this?

You always tell me
about vague propositions.

But you never say what
you're really doing.

I don't want to bother you.

No. You don't tell me as
there is nothing to tell.

Wally, all the money you ever
made you made at gambling.

Listen. I told you before. I'm not the
kind of guy that settles down to a job.

I'm not a mug like Elmer.

When I bring home money, it ain't
going to be in no pay envelope.

It's going to be in such a big wad you
won't be able to put it in any envelope.

We can't go on living
like this any longer.

We're doing alright, aren't we?

Well, it must stop. We can't
afford to take chances.

Say listen. Look at this place.
What more do you want?

Wally, I mean just what I said. We can't
afford to take chances. That's all.

I'm not thinking of us. There is
something else to consider.

Ah ..

I went to a doctor today.

A doctor?

What for?

What do you suppose?

Oh Bus ..

Oh, that's swell.

Oh boy, I'm happy. Say, what a thrill.

Why, honey.

What's the matter?

I'm afraid, Wally.

There is nothing to be afraid of.
Why millions of ..

I know, and lots of them don't.

My mother didn't. She died.

It's going to be alright, Hon.

Those things happen, but the
chances are one to a million.

It couldn't happen to you, Bus.

We'll get the best of everything.
You'll be a cinch.

Wally, we can't have the best of
everything if you gamble all your life.

I do nothing all day long but
hide from debt collectors ..

Or lie to them and shut
the door in their faces.

We might not have a cent
when the time comes.

Oh come on, honey.

Come on.

Come here now.
I want to tell you something.

We're going to have plenty of
money when the time comes.

Even if I have to go to work to get it.

Tomorrow, I'm going
to get a job. On the level.

And you'll stop taking chances?
- Honey, I've stopped already.

What you told me, just made
a change in everything.

I know how you feel, now.

You'll do this for me really?
- For you? No, sir.

For all three of us.

Honestly, sweet?

It's a bet, baby.

It's a bet.

Hey.

Hey.

Huh?

Will you have that car ready
for that guy at six o'clock?

I could have had it done an hour ago.

I thought you wanted to run
up a time charge on him.

Well hurry it up.
- Okay.

Well today is a big day, honey.

It's the day I bring home
my weekly pay envelope.

We saved nearly five dollars last week.

That makes nearly a hundred
bucks in the bank, don't it?

You know just as well as I do that
means a hundred and ten dollars.

You know, you and that kid are
going to get all the breaks, honey.

Oh gee, think what a break that kid is
going to get having a father like you.

Yeah, well there is something to
that, if you stop to think it over.

Bye, honey.

Bye, Dada.

Hey. Come here.

That's for you.

Well, if it ain't Wally.
- How are you, Marty?

Funny I should run into you like this.
- How are the boys over at the joint?

Why don't you drop over and find out.

Still tied up with apron strings, eh?

It ain't that, Martie.
I'm just through, is all.

Through? Boy, how can you forget the
time you made twelve straight passes?

And the time Jake Bright
and I ran up that big pot.

You just kept stringing along and then,
wallop. You put down a straight flush.

You can't forget things like so easily.

How about when I had Southern California
on a short end against Notre Dame, huh?

Say. I did alright that time, didn't I?

Firefly. That 20-1 shot. The team
romping home in front of the field.

That didn't do you any
harm ether, eh Wally?

Those were the days, boy.

Well, they're still running horse races.

And I got a hot tip on the third at
Belmont. A jockey over Barney's ..

One, two, three four.

Four-fifty, Five. Five dollars.

There you are.

That makes 115 dollars
in the account, doesn't it.

Why no. Your husband drew
out ninety dollars this noon.

Ninety dollars?

It's a joint account you know.

Oh yes.

Well here it is honey.
Old man's pay envelope.

Why not gamble with that too?
- What's the matter?

You take chances on everything else.
Why not you shoot the works?

You're the guy that can't got
plugging along on a salary.

The guy that must shoot for big stakes.

Wait a minute.
- 90 dollars.

Three months it took to save that in
nickels and dimes. Going without things.

And you shoot the whole
thing in a day gambling.

Bus, listen to me.
- No, I won't listen to you.

I won't listen to more lies.

You promised to quit taking chances for
me and the baby but you're too weak.

I should have married a sap like
Elmer who has some decency.

Instead of a hunky guy like you
who lies and cheats and steals.

You can't say that and get away with it.
- I don't want to talk.

I don't want to see you again. There are
your clothes, so take them and get out.

I won't get out. That kid is
mine as much as yours.

Yes, it's yours.

But I'm through with you and
everything that belongs to you.

I'm not going to have another lying,
gambling rotten cheat like you.

I'm through. Now get out.

Hey, Buster.

Mrs Dennis?

Yes.

Some packages from Macy's.
Will you sign for them please?

Don't worry .. he'll come back.

But I told him didn't ever
want to see him again.

And the big fool has
been gone for a week.

Well, well. They all come back.

Oh, hello Edna.

How are you?

I saw you go into
the store this morning.

I suppose you were buying
some more swell clothes.

Well I got tired of sitting around
the house all day with nothing to do.

It's kind of nice being back.

What's the matter? Doesn't your
husband come home at all nowadays?

Wally is out of town on a business trip.

Gee, if he knew I was
working he would kill me.

Well you never did want to get married.

And having a husband that is
away most of the time, why ..

It's practically the same thing.

Buster, honey.
I just heard you were back.

Gee, it's good to see you, Georgine.

She didn't have to come back.

She was just playing
a joke on her husband.

What a joke you'll be on your husband.

If you ever hook some poor sap.

Listen, dearie.

I'm alright. And I don't
want any husband.

Oh no. You don't want a husband?

No. Not much.

You just go around smiling
at lampposts and fireplugs.

What's the lowdown, kid?

Anything happened?
- Yeah.

Wally and I split.

He cared more about gambling
than he did about me.

I don't see how that guy ever
wins any money gambling.

He don't know a good
thing when he's got it.

Where is the mug?

I'd like to give him a
good sock on his butt.

I heard he went to New Orleans.

Oh, I guess it's all or the best anyway.

I'm not the kind that makes a
good housewife, Georgine.

I've got to depend on myself.
I can't take chances on anyone else.

Well it's a good thing you came back.

Mayfield Department Store was
about to go on the rocks.

Why?

Oh.

Finky and I decided to
stop fooling around ..

And to do that trembling
act in front of a Minister.

Georgine, you're not
going to get married?

Uhuh.

Oh, Bus. I know it don't
sound too good to you.

But I'm getting kinda old. I must see
what it's about before it's too late.

I'm happy for your sake, Hon.

The company gave Finky a route and will
send him on the road for a honeymoon.

He's going to demonstrate folding beds.

Georgine.

Promise me something, will you?
- What?

Don't let any of the other girls
know that Wally and I broke.

I'd die if they knew.

Don't you worry about me, Bus.

I understand.

I won't say a word.

Thanks.

Want a cup of coffee, sister?

How much is this?

Soup and a sandwich? Fifteen cents.

No. That's all. Thank you.

Extra, final edition.
Extra, read all about it.

I want to place a 2-dollar
bet on Baby Mine.

Straight bet or spread?
- I want it to win.

Thank you lady.

Right there, boys. We close
the book in five minutes.

Get ready to ring the bell, boys.

Yeah?

Hello .. yeah .. yeah ..

Well, how are you, Mrs Dennis?

I'm Martie Happ.

Oh yes, Mr Happ?

Well I never expected to see you here.

This is the last place in the
world I ever expected to be.

I heard you were asking for
your husband several times.

Yes. Has anyone around
here heard from him lately?

Not a word. He must
still be in New Orleans.

Say Mrs Dennis, what horse have you got?

I've got 2 dollars on Baby Mine.

Baby Mine?

To win?

Yes, it's got a chance?

Well, the odds are
30-1 that it won't win.

Who touted it to you?

Nobody.

I just had a hunch.

The streets are crowded with
people who play hunches.

The third race at Belmont.

They are coming up to the tape.

They are jockeying for place.

Starting gate is crowded now.

They're off.

Red Bank is in the lead,
Lady Belle second.

County Gate giving her a close run.

Looks like Red Bank's first corner.

And Lady Belle ducks back for a
neck-and-neck with County Gate.

Rosetta, third.

Red Bank slows up at the half.

County Gate is out in front now.

But there is a dark one plowing
ahead down the straightaway.

He looks like he means business.

And he's coming strong.

Baby Mine.

That's mine.

He's second at the three quarter,
believe it or not.

County Gate still in the lead.

She's losing a little ground.

And Baby Mine is right on her tail.

He's forging ahead
like a cyclone, folks.

They're coming down the home stretch.

It's nose to nose now.

And it's all over.

Baby Mine wins by half a length.

I win, don't I. Don't I?

Yep, you win 60 bucks on a daffy hunch.

That's what I call beginner's luck.

60 dollars.
- Say listen, Mrs Dennis.

Hunches won't get you any place at all.

Next time you want a bet.
You come to Marty Happ for a tip.

You'll do yourself alright.
- Yes I will.

Where do I get my money?
- Over there.

Thanks.

Pardon me.

Alright lady. Baby Mine.

Sixty to you.

Hello? Yes.

Belmont, 3rd race. Baby Mine wins.

Our report shows you've taken more than
an hour for lunch every day for 2 weeks.

And that you reported
ill on several afternoons.

I had important business to attend to.
- It has been a daily occurrence.

And whatever the nature of the business.

You should have realized that the time
you gave to it belonged to Mayfield.

Oh, I am sorry.

I am more than sorry too, Miss Green ..

To have to tell you that we
shall have to let you go.

Well, well. Fancy seeing you here.

How was the honeymoon?

Why don't you get married and find out?

I suppose you're looking for
your girlfriend, Buster?

I am. What department is she in now?

She must be selling apples.

They threw her out over a month ago.

What?
- Sure.

I heard, after her husband
gave her the gate ..

She went on the make for
every man in the place.

Oh yeah?

I always thought she was a play-girl.

If you know what I mean.

Why, you mug.
I ought to let you have it.

And stay put.

Pardon me. Doesn't Mrs Dennis live here?

Yes ma'am.

At least there is a young thing
here who calls herself Mrs Dennis.

And with a good reason too.

What do you mean?

Oh the poor kid.

'Poor kid' is right.

Nobody calls on her, and
not a sign of a husband.

Which is her room?

The last one on the right.
- Thank you.

Buster.

Oh.

Oh gee, I'm glad you've come.

Finky and I just got back
from our honeymoon.

But gee, kid.

I'd have come back a lot sooner if
I'd known it was anything like this.

It has been kind of lonesome.

I tried to find where you were.

I tried to find Wally too.

Doesn't anybody know where
he is? Any of his old friends?

Uhuh.

The last anyone heard
from him, he was in ..

New Orleans .. some place.

It was a rat trick to walk out on you.

Why, he didn't walk out on me.

I threw him out.

Oh, it was my fault.

He is still a rat not to come
back at a time like this.

He .. he didn't know.

He doesn't know?

Then you are a sap. Somebody is wrong.

No. I threw him out.

I told him I was through with him
and all that belonged to him.

Ah, but he ought to know
you didn't mean it.

Even Wally ought to know
women better than that.

If he knew, he'd be here
with me. Right now.

When are you going to the hospital, kid?

Any day now.
- Which one?

The County, I guess.

That's what it costs
to go to a good one.

Holy mackerel.

Three hundred and five
dollars for one baby?

You sure that ain't for twins?
- No.

That's three hundred and five dollars
for one kid and I have almost ten of it.

Oh Georgine, I want it to be decent.

I don't want the kid to be
born into a poorhouse.

Oh bus, please don't. Look, Bus. Look.

Look.

Here is fifty dollars.

It's all I got left after the honeymoon.

You know how you buy clothes and things.

Sure, I know.

You take it, Bus.

It won't do you much good,
but it will help some.

Oh thanks.

I'm going to run along and see
if I can't dig up a little more.

But I'll be back tonight.

And if you need me in the meantime.

Call at the Hotel Stratford. Will you?

Uhuh.

And don't worry.
- No, I won't.

Goodbye.
- Bye.

Oh gee, you're swell.

I hope the kid is half
as swell as you are.

Oh forget it.

If he's anything like me,
I'll spank the pants off of him.

Or her.

[ Door knocks ]

Come in.

I thought you might to like
to look at the evening paper.

Thank you.

Did you see the lady?

Yes, I saw her.

Thank you for the paper, Mrs O'Brien.

Well I must be going. I've got
to give Salvador his bath.

On Baby Mine to win.

You're throwing your
money away on that nag.

It's my money. Bet it on Baby Mine.

Alright.

Anything to please a lady.

Fifty bucks on Baby Mine to win.

You're pretty flush today, aren't you?
- No. It's the dame's money.

You don't think I'd be sucker enough
to bet on a goat like that, do you?

No, I don't.

Here it is.
- Okay.

The 4th race at Caliente.

They're coming up to the barrier.

There off.

Philippo is away in front.

Alaska Pole is second.

Lady Belle is closing in.

She's got the pole and
leads at the quarter.

Alaska still second.

King John, third. Baby Mine, fourth.

They're going into the back stretch.

Alaska coming up.

Lady Belle is taking it easy.

Kind John in leading the
pack on the stretch.

He's up fighting for
the lead at the half.

There's a horse coming out of the bunch.

It's gaining on the leaders as
they get to the three quarters.

It's King John going up
to fight for the lead.

Lady Belle is dropping back.

Alaska is leading with King John second.
Lady Belle is third.

No. She's fourth. Baby Mine is third.

They are going into the home stretch.

Alaska and King John
fighting for the lead.

But Baby Mine is coming
through on the pole.

She's coming through.

And driving for the finish.

The three horses are neck and neck.

It looks like .. it is!

Baby Mine. Baby Mine wins.

Alaska second.

King John, third.

Hey, your dame wasn't so
dumb after all, was she?

Nah, just lucky.

Well, all my dames are that way.

Oh gee, isn't that swell?

You don't know what that
five hundred means to me.

Listen babe, I hate to tell you
but I did it for your own good.

You did what for my own good?

Well, I didn't want you to
throw your money away ..

And I had a hot tip on King John.

King ..?

So you didn't lay my money on King John?
- Yeah.

But I told you to bet it on Baby Mine.
- Yes I know, but ..

Why didn't you do what I told you to?

I knew she was going to win. I knew it.
- Shut up, will you.

I won't shut up.

I gave you all the money I had in the
world to put on that horse, and she won.

I needed that money.
- Well what are going to do about it?

Here is what she's going to do about it.

Alright boys, break it down.

Get back. Get back. There's cops.

Bus. Bus, it's Wally.

Wally. Wally?

Wally .. you're here.

Oh Wally, don't leave me.

Listen honey, I've got
to get you out of here.

Wally, don't leave me.

I don't want you to go.
- Bus, will you listen to me.

The place is busted.
I got to get you out.

Don't go. Wally.

Bus baby, it's Wally.

Bus, baby.

Hey, who do you think you are?
- We got to get an ambulance, quick.

What's the matter, are
you going to collapse?

No, it's my wife. We got to get
her to a hospital right away.

Hey, O'Mara.

Call up the Hayes Hospital.
Tell them to get a room ready quick.

And O'Mara, send up a stretcher.

Now don't worry kids,
you'll be alright there.

My wife is there this very minute.

Bus. Bus, baby.

Take it easy, son. There
is nothing to worry about.

I got to see her. I got to talk to her.

I'm telling you she'll be alright.

I've had six kids myself.

And my wife came through alright.

It's tough on us men
waiting out here, that's all.

Oh brace up. Be a man.

Take hold of yourself.

Now, ain't I telling you there's
nothing to worry about.

Hey, doctor. Doctor, is it all over?

Is she alright? How is she?

Your wife is doing very well.

Exceedingly well for
the mother of twins.

Twins?

Twins?

Oh doctor, a wonder. Congratulations.

Did you hear that?

Twins.

Say, can I talk to her
for a minute, please?

You can't now. She is going in
the delivery room right away.

I got to see her. I got to tell her
something. It'll make it easier for her.

Wally.

Wally.
- Oh Bus, honey.

Wally, you're here.
- Yeah, I'm here, Hon.

And I'm going to stick with
you this time, always.

Wally, don't leave me.

Don't leave me for a
minute. I'm so afraid.

Don't be afraid, honey.
It will be alright.

They'll take good care of you.
- Don't let them touch me, Wally.

You won't let them touch me, will you?

Everything is going
to be alright, honey.

Don't you see? Things
are breaking swell for us.

Gee, I got back at just the right time.

And I got plenty of money too, Bus.

Say, with our luck running
like this, we're a cinch.

Why, we can't go wrong now, baby.

Wally.

If I don't come through ..

There's not going to be any 'ifs' to it.
You're coming through perfect.

And when I do ..

It's going to be different
with you and me, honey.

Not too different.

We'll still love each other
just like we used to, won't we?

You bet.

There won't be anything to
make us unhappy this time.

We're going to love each
other more than ever.

Oh Wally, I love you.

Ready now.

Don't worry.

Yeah, I'm ready.

Everything is going
to be alright, honey.

Yeah, everything is going
to be alright, Wally.

If I don't come back ..
- You will.

You've got to.

Listen, God.

I've never asked you anything before.

I never will again
if you'll just do this.

Take care of her. Please.

Oh, isn't he beautiful.
I mean, isn't she beautiful.

I mean .. it looks just like you.

It's a girl, Finky.
- Oh.

You know, Finky can never think
after the 5 o'clock whistle blows.

Say listen. I wouldn't
have anything but a girl.

But next time, I'll bet you ..
- What did you say?

I mean .. I think it will be a boy.

Ah, You would say that. Oh you men.

Oh look Fink, she has
more hair than you have.

Oh, Georgine.

..tg..
