Poor Pidge. He'll starve.
Here, Pidge. Here, Pidgie.
Here, boy.
Don't jump! Don't jump!
Albert, it's all right!
Everything's all right!
Come on back! Don't worry.
Honey, come on.
- Thank heavens I got here in time.
It's all right.
I just came from Ed Sullivan's office.
- Sullivan?
- Yes, Ed Sullivan.
Go to work for Sullivan. Leap from the
sinking ship while the house is on fire.
But hear this, Miss DeLeon.
I was loyal.
All the years I employed you, I never
looked for a job behind your back.
- I went to Ed Sullivan's otfice...
- Don't explain.
You owe me nothing,
even though you were molded by me.
- Molded?
- Like Eliza Doolittle from Pygmalion.
- I was molded?
- What were you when I found you?
Hostess at La Casa Enchilada
Taco and Tamale Shop.
Well, sorry I interrupted you.
A man of my ilk
does not commit suicide.
I've had just about enough
of your kind ot ilks too.
Suicide is for cowards.
I don't desert the woman I love.
Oh, Albert, I'm sorry.
- I should have known.
- Mama would never get over it.
Mama?
What's the matter?
I'm the prize dope ot all time...
thinking I could pry you away
from your mama's ever-lovin' tentacles.
I will thank you
to leave my mother out of this.
- Maybe she does influence me slightly.
- Slightly?
- She is old and frail.
- Which I will be, too, at this rate.
I don't blame you.
I was living in fantasy...
telling myself you were serious.
Oh, Rosie, I was.
I am. In here.
I've thought and thought
about marrying you...
every day, a lot of nights too.
I've spent six years
on Project Albert.
Well, now I haven't got the right.
I can't offer you security.
A wonderful girl like you...
you deserve more from a husband
than just personality and good looks.
But I'll always love you, Rosie.
You'd better always
love me, you nut...
because you're stuck with me.
Now, you've always worried
about repaying your mother, right?
Well, from now on,
she'll be set for life.
She can sit around on her big fat trust
fund. We'll have our own little house...
I don't care what Sullivan pays you.
No woman is supporting Albert Peterson.
- You're not listening, darling.
- I am not a gigolo.
Will you get to that piano
and start composing?
- Mary, I want Kim McAfee, Ohio.
- I'm through composing.
I was always through,
but now I know it.
That's right. You're a biochemist,
but this is one song you can sell.
- Huh?
- Okay, call me back.
- As I was saying, huh?
- Gee, you're slow today.
Now, you are going to write
a song called "One Last Kiss."
Is this Albert's floor
or is it the one below?
"One Last Kiss." Now.
Oh, one last kiss
There never was such bliss
I love your dentifrice
- A little too clinical, I think.
- Yeah, you're right, honey. Let's see.
Mama? She's never been to the office
since she discovered canasta.
Well, now's the perfect time
to tell her about dissolving Almaelou.
Yeah.
- And about us.
- Yeah.
Sonny!
- Mama!
- Baby!
What a nice surprise, and you're
just in time for some wonderful news.
- What's the matter?
- Nothing, son.
I just fainted in the subway.
That's all.
But I didn't tall down.
It was too crowded.
- I keep tellin' ya, take a taxi.
- Taxis?
Taxis are for my successful son.
is good enough for a mother.
Mother's nothin' nowadays.
- Who's that?
- Mommy, you know Rose DeLeon.
- And guess what.
- This is that pretty Rose DeLeon?
Oh, I don't believe it.
Rose, what happened to ya?
You had a fatal sickness
or somethin'?
It's nice to see you again.
Always on the job.
She's a credit to the firm.
Look at her, son.
hasn't snatched her away.
Personable matron.
- Speaking ot marriage.
- A wonderful institution.
Your poor father and I...
That was a marriage.
May he rest in peace.
Don't worry, Lou.
- Our only child is taking care of me.
- Tell her.
He'd never do anything to break
my heart. What about marriage?
It it was good enough
for you and Papa, it's good enough...
In time. You're just a baby.
Hello. Yes, Operator.
I'll hold on.
And another thing, Mama,
I'm thinking of dissolving Almaelou.
Wait, Lou. I'm comin'.
I'll be right up there.
We can play canasta again.
Mama? Mama, forget it.
I'm sorry.
- You're sorry?
- Good-bye, sonny.
Take care of yourself.
Think of me on Mother's Day.
- Good-bye, Rosie.
- Good-bye, Mae.
Call me Mrs. Peterson.
Wear your rubbers.
That's right, Operator.
Miss Kim McAfee.
I'll tell her, Rosie, tonight.
It's entirely up to you, Albert.
The line is still busy?
Yes, Hugo.
Well, of course
I'll always wear it on everything.
Oh, except my gym blouse.
Miss Turgnisht won't allow it.
Tonight?
Well, I have no plans.
I think I can get out
till about 10:
00.Oh, you have to be in by 9:00.
Well, c'est la vie.
Until tonight then, mon amour.
Bye.
When you're a skinny child of 15
Wired with braces from ear to ear
You doubt that
you will ever be appealing
Then, hallelujah, you are 16
and the braces disappear
