little work on your own composition?
Ah .. shut up.
Think what a kick it would be
to those destinies of yours ..
If you run off with first prize.
What if I do win?
Oh, here it comes again.
My picture in Life,
a new suit and hullabaloo.
And one morning, I'm walking down
the street minding my own business ..
When a bolt of lightning with my number
on it follows me round the corner and ..
Out like a light.
Oh, Mickey.
Yup. That's the way I'm
leaving this world: lightning.
I'll give odds.
Somewhere Mickey, is a straight-jacket
with your number on it. Just waiting.
Come here and you can lick the spoon.
Why, Mickey.
I don't want you to think that this
is a spur-of-the-moment kiss.
I planned it for a week.
Pretty mild for a start.
Just a friendly kiss.
We're going to be
great friends, aren't we.
Yeah .. I'll work at it.
In fact we'll be such great friends ..
That we won't have to give each
other anything for Christmas.
And don't let anyone tell you I
haven't done wonders for your smile.
Well, I've got to go now. I'm late.
Hello.
Hi.
Were you on the train?
Yes. Relieve me of these packages
and I'll show you my ticket.
Don't know how I missed you. I walked
through the train on the chance ..
I sat up with the engineer.
We're old friends.
I see.
And whose hand was on the throttle
when we rounded that horseshoe curve?
Mine.
Congratulations.
For just one moment I thought
we weren't going to make it.
So did the engineer.
Seems I picked the wrong time to powder
my nose but I'll know better next time.
You won't take this personally, I hope.
But hereafter I'll take
the bus into town.
Oh, I know the bus driver.
We're old friends, too.
Well, there is still the bicycle.
Well, we'll walk.
I love you, Ann.
What did you say?
I love you.
I can't hear you.
I said, I love you.
I won't say it again.
You love me?
Yes.
Since when?
Since the moment I first saw you.
You can't be original
when you're in love.
Well?
Well, what?
That was in the nature of a proposal.
the nature of an answer.
A good start.
But couldn't we go on just the way
we are? You know, lots of laughs?
We could be married
and still go on laughing.
There have been cases.
I love you, Ann.
I can't swing on a gate and I'm not
much good at bundle-carrying, but ..
I'll try to make you happy.
You're this crazy world to me, Ann.
And the crazy world before this
and the crazier world to come.
In fact, I love you.
I'll warn you I'll probably
laugh at the ceremony.
What do you think I'll be doing?
You're sweet, Felix.
Would you hold these just a moment?
Why, sure.
"For he's a jolly good fellow.
For he's a jolly good fellow."
"For he's a jolly good fellow .."
"Which nobody can deny."
"Which nobody can deny."
"Which nobody can deny."
"For he's a jolly good fellow .."
"Which nobody can deny .."
Happy birthday, Dad.
I'd appreciate the sentiment a
little more if you were all in tune.
Well I never .. a radio.
A very peculiar radio.
It doesn't play jazz.
We made the down-payment ourselves.
Well, that's how your
mother got the piano.
Look, Dad.
Oh, we just threw a few
old curtains together.
It will make your old 5-cent
cigars look like golden coronas.
Take a glance at all these, Dad.
It looks like a Christmas tree.
Why .. why, look. Toscanini.
Here is my gift, Daddy.
Oh.
Many happy returns.
Ernest.
Here's something to keep you
warm the when you listen to Bach.
I just happened to be passing
Tiffany's the other day.
Tiffany's, Ben.
Why Ben, you shouldn't
have been so extravagant.
Tell me, does it yodel?
I don't care. A watch with a Swiss
movement ought to be able to yodel.
Here, Dad. We're just
bribing you to stay young.
I accept the bribe.
That calls for a speech.
Speech .. speech!
Speech.
Well, I ..
This has .. been the happiest birthday.
I don's suppose I've got
many more birthdays.
Another crack like that, and we'll send
you to bed without dinner for a week.
Oh don't mind your father. He's
just trying to appear philosophical.
But he hasn't got the
beard to go with it.
Come on, let's cut the cake
before I flood the place with tears.
I put too many candles
on your cake anyway.
Mickey.
You too. Well, that was a kind thought.
I didn't ..
Shush.
I got it myself for you.
If you don't mind.
Well, thanks.
That puts me in the class with Ben
Crowley. I know his kind like a book.
He's the "I-sold-papers-when-I
was-kid-now-look-at-me", type.
I've got your type
neatly cataloged, too.
Any bets?
At any birthday party, you're the
sort that always pipes up with:
"I-never-had-a-birthday
party-or-got-a-present".
Isn't that right?
You win.
So, to prevent you from
making that little speech.
I got you a present myself.
Cufflinks with initials.
Say.
This is no joke.
These are good links.
Well, I always do my shoplifting
at the best counters.
Oh!
Here is a customer.
Wonderful.
You made this all by yourself?
Absolutely.
In that case, I can't do without you.
That's a date.
Sure? Sure.
While your about it this afternoon,
why don't you get a new tie? Look at it.
Oh, it's alright.
Say, you girls are looking
beautiful tonight.
You don't look at all like your father.
What?
Felix, if I were ten
years younger. Oh, bah!
What?
You think so?
Hold this.
Yep, got it.
Hear ye! Hear ye!
Everybody listen.
I have a commercial
announcement to make.
What is it?
Listen.
Go ahead, go ahead.
Felix and I are engaged
to be married. Look.
Well, that's wonderful.
Well, well, Felix.
So .. you're going to be married.
She swept me off my feet.
Ann. Darling.
Aunt Etta.
Gee, isn't that swell.
If we ..?
Say, don't I get kissed?
Why, of course you do.
I think I'm marrying the wrong girl.
Oh, you go on with you.
I'm jealous. I have a good slightly-used
career I'll exchange for a husband.
Must resemble Felix.
I'd like to add my good
wishes. Thanks, Ernest.
I'm glad too, Felix.
Oh, I'm sure you're both
going to be very happy.
I feel it in my bones.
Thank you, Thea.
When do you two children
propose to get married?
Well, as soon as my laundry gets back.
In August sometime.
How about some coffee? I'm not too
happy to have forgotten about that.
I'll start it perking.
Oh, Emma.
I'll give you a helping hand.
This marriage business
isn't contagious, is it?
I don't know whether I should give my
daughter to a composer of modern music.
You don't?
Just this once, Dad.
Ann .. I think I'll
beat you to the altar.
Do you still want me to be a June bride?
I certainly do.
Thea!
Bring on the orange blossoms.
I don't know what to say.
Why should you say anything?
June? Then I'll still be
here for your wedding, Thea.
But Kay, you'll be here
for my wedding, too.
