Philadelphia, studying
for that scholarship.
And please, I've heard all
But you're going so suddenly, Kay.
Well, I .. I decided it was about
time I got serious about my work.
Say.
What has got into my family?
Well, I think I ought
to propose a toast.
Come on everybody.
Let's drink to the happy couple.
This is for you, Ann.
Oh, thank you.
Happiness, Ann.
If you'd bury your head
in my shoulder ..
There'd be less chance of those
I can't help it, aunt Etta.
I love Felix, you know.
Ah,, somebody else will come along.
No.
Oh yes they will. In about six months.
That's the usual time.
Now don't contradict me, Emma.
I know all about these things.
Being a spinster.
Emma, Emma!
Emma, you haven't even ..
Why Emma, darling. What's the matter?
Oh you mustn't feel like this.
I'm not going away, I'm going
to stay right here with you.
Nothing is going to chance
for us, really it isn't.
I know, dear.
It's just that I ..
I bet you thought I'd never marry.
I didn't think I would, either,
but we're all going to.
We'll have housefuls of
children. All violin players.
Emma, you like Felix don't you?
Of course she does. We all do.
It's just Emma can't get used to the
idea of losing the baby of the family.
Any more than I can.
Oh come girls, pull yourselves
together and help me with the coffee.
Aunt Etta is right.
I'm just being silly, Ann.
Come on, let's get this ..
Emma.
I won't marry him if
you don't want me to.
We'll still be the old Lemp
girls with our tortoiseshell cat.
No .. no.
There isn't anything I wouldn't
do to make you happy, Emma.
Of course, dear. I know that.
Really Ann, they're all going to begin
to wonder what's happened to us.
You sure it isn't because it's Felix?
I mean.
him as well as the rest of us.
But really Emma he's awfully
sweet and such fun.
After we're married,
you'll learn to love him.
Ann, stop chattering.
If we don't get some of this
coffee in to those people in there ..
Nobody is going to love anybody.
Come along, now.
You take the plates
and I'll pour the coffee.
steady hand in the family anyway.
Ooh!
Well, the coffee wasn't any good anyway
And just because I'm .. I'm ..
Well that's no reason I've to stop
trying to make a human being out of you.
I'm the girl who brought chintz
curtains in your life. I'm not going ..
Must you look so beautiful?
Who, me?
You're getting married. Now a ..
Another dream shot.
But you've got to look like
a convention of angels.
Why must the light hit you just right?
If your nose was shining
and your eyes dull.
Jehoshaphat .. it would
make things easier.
But look at you.
Not a hair on your head out of place.
A girl can't get married without a
permanent. It wouldn't be legal.
Nice work.
My congratulations.
They take a guy in out of the cold, give
him a look at real family, real people.
The old man, aunt Etta.
They throw Ann in his path and let
her get a half-nelson on his heart.
Then .. out in the cold again.
Here is a new lease on the gutter.
Oh Mickey, please listen to me.
Nah ..
You always said it was my fault.
I never put up a battle.
Alright. I'm full of fight now.
Ann, no-one else can have you!
I love you. You hear me?
Please, come to your senses.
Okay.
You see, Ann.
The theory is all cockeyed.
It's no use fighting.
I accept the verdict. What's more,
I'll attend the wedding.
My smile will be just
as brave as Emma's.
Emma .. why should Emma ..?
Why should Emma?
You mean to say you don't know
that Emma is insane about Felix?
Emma in love with Felix?
Mickey, you must be out of your mind.
I guess when you're used to
being on the outside looking in ..
You can see a lot of
I don't know what you're talking about.
Poor Emma.
That night when you told
everybody, I was watching her.
Her face went as white as a sheet.
She ran out the room.
No.
When she came back her
eyes were red from crying.
That made me feel very close to Emma.
But it wasn't that.
It couldn't have been.
It was because I was
getting married. You see ..
Emma and I have always been so close.
Oh Mickey, I don't believe you.
You're only saying it to frighten me.
Go ahead. Get married.
You'd better go home.
People are waiting.
But it isn't true.
You were lying, weren't you?
Yeah.
That's as good a name for it as any.
Well .. I got to go. Got to pack.
Goodbye, Ann.
Allah be with you.
Goodbye, Mickey.
You go first.
I want to look after you.
Hey, Emma.
Yes, Felix?
What is this, is it a tie or a canoe
paddle? I can't make it out.
When it's in that shape,
It is?
Isn't it awful what getting
married will do to you?
Any other day I'd have
a good answer to that.
Well, go to work, Emma.
Whatever it is, tie it for me.
Gosh, I'm jittery.
My fingers have turned to jelly. Feel.
Oh, they're cold.
Say, so are yours.
You know, I should have rented
an outfit instead of having it made.
It would have fit better.
How's it coming?
Wait a minute
It looks alright.
This is the end of my steady job,
isn't it? Uhuh.
Say, isn't that a steal from something?
And a good one.
Hey .. just leave me
enough air to say "I do".
I'm sorry.
Now hold still.
Thanks.
Well, how do I look?
The price tag showing?
No, you look very nice.
Striped trousers. Isn't that symbolic?
Here comes the groom .. the dope ..
You got 3:
12?My watch says 3:
08.What time you got, Adam?
Oh .. 3:
15, Ben.3:
15.Excuse me.
What you think's happened?
All girls get the fidgets
She probably took a walk to calm down.
I took a walk on my wedding day.
Whatever possessed the
child to do such a thing?
It should take her at
least 15 minutes to dress.
What time did you say you had, Adam?
I told you, Ben. It is 3:15.
I wonder what the hall clock says.
It says for you to put your watch
away and quit acting the pompous fool.
I'm sorry, Thea.
My first wedding.
[ Doorbell ]
That must be Ann now, Etta.
It's just about time.
It's a messenger boy. A telegram.
No. Never mind. I'll get it.
Ah, the wire we've all been waiting for.
Pioneer furniture company.
Congratulations and our furniture
sale starts Monday. Easy terms.
Oh, Emma.
Emma, it's for you.
Probably from Kay.
What's wrong, Emma?
What's the matter?
It's from Ann. She's ..
Let me see that telegram.
What does it say?
"Dear Emma, you must
break the news to Felix."
"Make him understand
that this is for the best."
"I found out just in time to avoid
making a dreadful mistake."
"Mickey and I will be married
by the time this reaches you."
"Felix will understand and forgive."
Sorry, son.
What are we going to do?
Father.
Ben, why don't you do something?
