- Good-bye.
- Good-bye.
- Oh, good morning, Flannigan.
- Hello, Harry.
- One round-trip and one one-way as usual?
- That's right.
Yeah. He'll be
coming back alone.
Here you are.
- Hiya, Flannigan.
- Hello, Welch.
Save a seat for me, will ya?
- I'll be right with you. Hiya, Harry.
- Hello, Welch.
- Give me one to Ossining.
- Gonna make sure they take him
to the right place, eh?
No. He's not one of my boys. I'm going up
to the big house on some private business.
- For the landlord.
- You never take them up anyway, do you?
Who me? No. The city cops
- Just a minute.
- You sure put Sing Sing on its feet all right.
Oh, I help the population some, I guess.
Well, I'll be seeing you.
Oh, Welch.
You forgot your ticket.
Don't worry.
I would've found it out.
Come on.
- Two tickets for Niagara Falls, please.
- Oh, congratulations, ma'am.
- What train?
- The 9:
20, and I want to stop off at Ossining.Ossining?
You mean Sing Sing?
No, I mean Ossining.
Hello, Fred.
Hello, John.
- Hi.
- Well, you got quite a haul of fish today, huh?
Wonder what that chiseler's
going up to Sing Sing for.
Shake down some prisoner, I guess.
He'd do anything for a little dough.
- Why, I thought the insurance company fired him.
- Sure. They all did.
Well, Trigger Stone.
- Huh. How long is he in for?
- Five years.
Five years is right.
- But I'll make up for lost time when I get out.
- Says you.
- Thanks for saving the seat, Flannigan.
- Hmm.
Well, anyhow,
I got my name in the paper.
Too bad you couldn't think of
a better way to do it, Scott.
Well, hello, Kay. Here you are.
Here's a seat for you.
The further I sit from you,
Mr. Welch, the better I like it.
- Board.!
- Take those bags into the next car, please.
Sorry, miss,
the train's full up today.
Here you are, Kay.
Sit right down here.
Two tickets to Niagara Falls, eh?
How romantic.
That's where
honeymooners go, hmm?
Oh, yes. Eddie Ellison gets out today.
Say, you're not really going
to marry that guy, are you?
Any objection?
Say, listen, kid. I like you. I wanna
give you a little friendly advice.
Friendly advice.
Well, that's good, coming from the fella
who caused Eddie's conviction.
Now take it easy, Kay. I'm telling you
that I'm your friend.
- More than a friend.
- Yes, you've tried to be more than a friend...
- ever since you had Eddie arrested.
- Now don't be that way.
You're a nice girl, and you're about
to make the mistake of your life.
- That's my business.
- Sure it is, and don't let him tell you any different.
Catching crooks is my business,
but marrying 'em isn't yours.
That side of Eddie's life
is over forever.
- He's going straight.
- How many times
have I heard that before?
- Once a crook, always a crook. Nobody trusts 'em.
- She'll trust him.
That'd be enough
for my dough.
- Thanks, Mr...
- Scott's the name.
I'm pleased to meet ya.
Eddie, when you were admitted here,
I gave you a choice of two roads to take.
You took the right one, and it cut
four months off your stretch for you.
- Now will you let me advise you again?
- Certainly, sir.
Something kept up your morale
while you were up here.
- You're a good guesser.
- Well, whatever it was, stick to it outside.
Have you got a job
waiting for you?
- The biggest and best job a man ever had.
- Good wages?
- Not a cent.
- Well, but how...
- I've had a girl waiting for me for 18 months.
- Congratulations, my boy.
- The very best of luck.
- Thank you, sir.
I'm sorry I can't do much
for a wedding present...
but, uh, you take this card
to the Hopkins Agency.
They place quite a number of my boys.
That is, the ones I believe in.
- Well, gee...
- And, uh, by the way,
here's the $10 the law allows.
- Thank you, sir. Good-bye.
- Good-bye. Good luck.
Eddie. Eddie.
- Why, you big, good-looking...
- Hey, now cut that out, funny face.
I can't help it.
I'm so glad to see you.
Well, I guess
it's back to the city, huh?
No, we're not going back to the city, Eddie.
I've got a big surprise.
Say, what is this,
a practical joke?
It's no joke,
but boy it's practical.
- We're going to Niagara Falls.
- You mean right now?
- From here?
- The train leaves in half an hour.
Aw, gee, you're swell, and I'm
the luckiest man in the world.
Luck had nothing to do with it.
You couldn't get away from me if you tried.
That's right. I tried to hide
in prison and it was hopeless.
Well, glad to see you around, Eddie.
Oh, thanks, Flannigan.
Meet the future wife.
Oh, yeah.
We made the trip up together.
Boy, you sure got a girl
who knows her own mind.
Well, if it isn't
my old pal, Welch.
As big as life
and twice as natural.
- He's no pal of yours. He's still got it in for ya.
- What do you mean?
He's been throwing the hooks into you all
the way up. Trying to promote himself.
Yeah, I was just trying to give her
a little friendly advice, that's all.
- I happen to know a lot more
about crooks than she does.
- Why, you...
- Eddie!
- If you sack him, you'll get into trouble.
You're on the way out. Keep going.
I'm on the way in. So I got nothing to lose.
Thanks, fella. I'll be
seeing you when you get out.
Good luck. I wish I could be
your best man.
Oh. How does a guy
like me rate all this?
Mmm, darling. You rate
the best in the world.
Yeah. I got it.
Right here in my arms.
Now look what you've done.
Say, I haven't begun to do things yet.
So far, you've made all the plans.
Got us a little flat,
and you've lined me up a nice job.
But don't forget, beginning next Monday
you quit and I get going.
Oh, I wish this could last for a year.
It's been so wonderful.
It's gonna be wonderful
all our life.
Won't it be nice when
we save some money...
- we get our little home up in Yonkers?
- Oh, Eddie.
- Say, you didn't know I was an artist, did you?
- No.
Look... just get
a load of our little dream house.
It's gonna be painted white all over
with green shutters and a red roof.
We're gonna have a bright yellow
picket fence with black tops.
- That sounds beautiful.
- The whole place is gonna be
splotched with honeysuckle.
- We could raise our own honey
if we bought a pair of bees.
- You're silly.
Now, right here is the chicken coop
where we grow our own breakfast.
Where's the doghouse
to put you in when you're bad?
Oh. Right here.
"X" marks the spot.
Who's that? You?
- No, that is a "g-nom-e."
- Hmm?
Uh, elf.
Well, it's made out of
terra... terra...
- Aw, plaster.
- It's marvelous, darling.
Let me show you what I picked out.
See, it has a real fireplace
and a master bedroom with twin beds.
- What's that?
- That's a nursery.
That's where you can put
your little "g-nom-e."
- You mean our little "g-nom-e."
I'll be in in a minute, dear.
That'll be all for today, Eddie.
- Yes, sir.
- By the way, I'm going
to give you that job I promised you.
As soon as your friend can handle
