Well, try it.
Faith, that's a woman's game.|Not for a husky like me. You try it, Anna.
No, Matt. You do it. I haven't got|the wind in me that you have.
Hand it over.
Watch me. Sure, I've air enough|in me chest to blow up a balloon.
Well, I don't doubt it.
What do you mean, you don't doubt it?
I was just kidding.
I bet he goes to 40.
Oh, boy.
Step up and roll the sweet mamas|out of their beds.
Make your own sweet mama jealous.
Only 25 cents to see the most|enchanting scene on Coney Island.
Now there's Lily and Clytie|without any nighties.
Hey, you, step right up.
Give us a good free look at the mamas|in their pretty lace hootenannies.
Wanna keep us|in bed all night, tightwad?
Loosen up, lads. Give us a little tumble.
I'll bet you couldn't hit that target if you|stayed until you grew a long, white beard.
- The devil I couldn't.|- Come on, Matt.
Go on and try it.|Bet you can't even hit the net.
- Yeah, how about a home run, Babe Ruth?|- Sure, I dare you to.
With one throw, I could knock them|dames off of their bunks.
Go to it, big boy.
Don't overlook me, carrot top. I have the|shape that makes the old men young...
...and the young men old.|- Attaboy.
- Mama wants Papa.|- Papa wants Mama.
Some mamas too. Now somebody else.
Somebody that packs a mean right.
What we want this time|is a regular he-man.
You shut up or I'll wrap you|around the target.
Don't get sore, big boy.
It's a hot night.|Roll me out of the blanket.
And that be the end to the story|of the whale and the grasshopper.
Oh, Matt, honest,|I ain't ever laughed like this.
- You're funny.|- Sure, I'd think it was blarney...
...if it wasn't meself|was making you laugh.
Oh, sure, Anna, you're crazy about me,|and I'm not after blaming you.
You just hate yourself, don't you, Matt?
Oyster loaf for the lady, sir.
- I ordered milk for the lady.|- Well, I've got it here.
Well, let's drink to our good health.
Here's to you.
And skoal, Matt, to you and me.
- Hot mustard, Matt?|- I don't need it.
- Pepper?|- Full of it.
- Well, here's something you do need.|- Oh, is that so, now?
Well, all right. But if I'm needing sugar,|I know where to look for that.
Oh, we're goofy, Matt.|Just like a couple of kids.
Sure, Anna, when you're in love,|you ain't got the brains of a tick.
What do you mean, love?
You know what I mean, Anna.
It's in me eye and|on the tip of me tongue.
A man like me ain't given to loving|a woman. He knows too much about them.
Every color of them,|from here to the China Sea.
The whole lying, cheating smear of them.|Sailors' bait.
When he comes across|a girl like you, Anna...
...that's as clean as a shell.
You're a lucky girl to be hearing|such talk from the lips of Matt Burke...
...him that the women are so crazy over.
Anna, what's come over you?
Oh, nothing.
Sure, don't lie to me, Anna.|You're as stiff as a corpse.
Hello, dearie.
- Well, I'll be...|- Well, she's a friend of mine.
Aren't you, dearie?
I'm afraid I don't remember you.
- She don't remember me.|- Of course she don't, you old scab.
- Beat it, or I'll have you thrown in the brig.|- No, Matt, maybe I do know her.
That old sea cow?|Go on, clear out of here.
You know a nice young girl|never met the likes of you.
A nice young...?
A nice young...|Pure and white as a lily.
Shut up, or I'll choke the wind|out of your gullet.
Oh, Matt, let her alone.
She don't mean nothing by it.
Anna. Anna, darling.
You see what you've done?|You frightened her.
- Go on, clear out of here.|- I'm going, I'm going.
Let her alone.
Don't go.
I was lying, Matt.
I know her and she knows me.
I recognized her the minute|she stepped across the room.
Shut up, kid. You don't have to|spill over for nobody.
You ain't responsible|for what your old man does.
I'll tell you why|she didn't want to talk to me.
Because I'm a tramp, that's why.
And her old man kicked me off the barge|when she come there to live on it.
Yeah, he didn't want any old wharf rat|around a nice young girl.
Well, it ain't so, though, Matt.|She's lying.
Lying, I'm ly...?
Well, I like your nerve,|all right, all right.
Gee, I'm sorry I came here|to speak to you.
Insulting me. Well, can you beat it?
I'll be toddling along.
I'm glad you found yourself|such a nice, friendly gent.
I hope you're happy, kid.
I'm sorry I bothered you, honest, l...|Oh, forget it, Ann.
You only got one life to live.
And it's a... of a life at that.
Say, skipper, you wouldn't stake me|to a quarter, would you?
You know, I haven't had|a drink in a month.
Take it and beat it.
With pleasure, captain.
Well, so long.
Be a good girl, Ann,|no matter how lonesome.
Happy days. Happy days.
The poor old devil.
Sometimes I feel sorry for them.
Come on, Anna. Don't let it get you down.|Sure, the world's full of them.
I know it's a sad sight for a decent|young girl the like of yourself, darling.
What would you say, Matt,|if I told you that?
Say what, me darling? Tell me what.
Oh, nothing.
Sure, I know what you'll be wanting|to tell me soon, if not this minute...
...that you love me.
Don't be so sure of yourself, Matt.|I'm loving nobody.
And you'll be wanting to marry me,|and maybe I'll be accepting you.
Why, Matt.
You want to marry me?
- Honest?|- Sure, I'll marry you.
Only, don't be putting me to too many|tests, or I might change me mind.
I'm tired, Matt.
I wanna go back to the barge.
You... You think you love|that sailor fella, Anna?
Well, what if I do?
You think maybe you marry him?
No.
I'm glad you don't marry sailor, Anna.|Is bad for woman.
They don't never see their men|only once in long while.
You sit and wait all alone...
...and when their boys|grow up and go on sea...
...they sit and wait some more.
Any girl marry sailor is crazy fool,|I tell you.
Your mother, she tell you same thing|if she was alive.
Well, that ain't why I won't marry him.
I'm not thinking about myself...
...but about him.
He's such a simple guy, a big kid.
And I haven't got the heart to fool him.
You fool him? Oh, you go crazy, I think.
I've been thinking I was myself|the last few days.
I'll be outside.
I love to watch the ships passing.
When Matt comes along,|tell him where I am, will you?
All right, I tell him.
Well, God bless who's here.
How's the world treating you|this afternoon, Anna's father?
Oh, pretty good, if it ain't for some fellas.
Meaning me, do you?
Well, if you ain't|the funny old crank of a man.
Where's herself?
- Where's Anna, I'm after asking you.|- She gone out to look on boat.
Well, I'll be going out to her.
But before I go, I'll take|this chance while we're alone...
...to have a word with you.|And that word is soon done.
I'm marrying your Anna|before this day is out.
You may as well make up|your mind to it, like it or no.
That's easy for saying.
You mean I won't? Is it yourself|is after stopping me, do you think?
- I stop it if it come to worst.|- Sure, it isn't trouble I'm looking for.
