I can't go in and face all those people.
But somebody has got to do something.
I'll take care of it.
But the family wanted me to speak
for them, to you and to their friends.
"Break the news to Felix."
"Make him understand
that this is for the best."
"A dreadful mistake."
"Mickey and I will be married by .."
Oh this quiet. It hurts my ears.
Only one in my orchestra now, Etta.
Oh cheer up, they'll all
be here for Christmas.
I'm writing to Ann now.
Let's continue, Emma.
But play it louder.
All I ask is a little noise.
Darling.
Huh?
You hate vegetable soup, don't you?
No. I kinda like it.
For my sake, hate it.
Why?
Well, I just discovered something about
myself. I can't make vegetable soup.
Well, could you salvage
something from the vegetables?
An omelet, or a stew or something?
I must have done something wrong.
Those vegetables in the pot.
They disappeared.
Well, anyway we can look forward to the
Christmas dinner your Dad's making us.
I read aunt Etta's letter again.
It gets better with every reading.
In the meantime we'll go down to
Joe's Room and get a bite to eat.
What will you do for money?
We spent the last you had on
a couple of tickets to Briarwood.
I can get rid of something
I don't need anymore.
Yeah? And after that, what?
Well after that, social
security will take care of it.
I'm afraid not.
Although I feel old
enough to be eligible.
I can't make any money orchestrating.
I wish there was something
else I could do.
Nonsense.
A few gray hairs at your temple and
you'd be a wonderful bank president.
Yeah?
I'll bet you'll be glad to get out of
this dungeon for a couple of days.
Oh, it isn't so bad.
Ann.
After all these months.
Do you still love me?
It's only four months. Sure.
You really do?
Get a notary, I'll sign an affidavit.
You still love me?
You must be crazy.
That's a statement that will get you
into the most exclusive insane asylum.
Listen, you wouldn't do so bad
yourself on the entrance exam.
Come on, I'm hungry.
I don't see it.
You don't see it?
Now look, you're at the
piano, I'm at the drums.
Earl here is doubling
on trumpet and sax.
And Sammy is with the fiddle.
I tell you, it's a cinch.
Sure, we can clean up and
have a lot of in the bargain.
lot fun:
South America.How do you know? You ever been there?
No. But I seen postcards, ain't I.
South America sounds interesting.
Say, what kind of lightning
they got down there?
Lightning?
Oh, there must be Lulus.
You know, that's a topical country.
"Tropical". Topical means right now.
Well, was I wrong?
Say, what's so old-fashioned
about South America?
What is all this?
Wouldn't mind a change.
What the cost to get there?
Now you listen to me, Michael Bogart.
With or without the missus?
Well ..
No snap judgments, now.
With.
With?
Oh, two or three hundred smackers.
Of course you know that's second class.
Well, that's the end of South America.
I was in Washington a year ago,
That was the first and last time I
ever seen three hundred dollars.
Well, you got anything you could hock?
Well, what do you get
Well, she'd bring more than the average.
Thank you.
And if one of my three sisters was
a brother you'd all have black eyes.
More coffee?
One check.
It's alright. I want to recapture the
feel of a walk through the Mint again.
Say, Mickey. Try and dig up the dough,
will you. You know we want you with us.
Well.
Goodbye, Mrs Borden.
Goodbye.
Oh yeah. Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas. Come on, Earl,
Yeah, merry Christmas.
Thanks for paying the bill.
Sure.
Say .. maybe I can wangle three
hundred dollars out of Ben Crowley?
Micky, you'll do no such thing.
It'll be a strictly legal wangle.
I promise to pay 6% and promise to sign
all the papers he shoves in front of me.
You can't Mickey, you can't.
Why not? He's in the family isn't he?
He sneaked in through marriage. We didn't
charge him for it and we don't intend to.
Listen Mickey, unless you promise
you won't speak to Ben, I ..
I won't go home.
Okay, okay.
I promise I won't ask. I'll go further
than that and offer to loan him money.
Here. Have a cigarette.
Thanks.
Now it's my turn to ask you something.
These last four months.
Have you been happy?
I've been closer to it than
I've ever been before.
Then, why do you want to
go to South America?
Perhaps to give its lightning
a chance at me. Only fair.
If you weren't married to me,
if I wasn't around your neck ..
You would get there
somehow, wouldn't you.
A stowaway or something.
As a matter of fact, two can
stow away as cheaply as one.
No, Ann. If I go, I want to
go in some sort of style.
What's up?
I'm wondering .. if I found a wallet
in the street or something like that.
I was just wondering if I'd be a big
enough of a heel to run out on you.
How are you betting?
Nothing I would do would surprise me.
Make that two.
Here we are.
will you. I feel kinda funny.
Thanks, Ernest. It was awfully
nice of you to meet us.
All I know is I got my orders.
Oh I see, Emma is bulling you
even before your married.
Something fierce, but it's a
funny thing, I'm thriving on it.
Now wait, Mickey. I want
Ernest to carry all the suitcases.
It puts him in trim to wash the dishes.
Yeah, you see what I mean?
Well, you sure have him under control.
Oh this is nothing, Wait until we're
married. He'll do he cooking then,, too.
Yeah, but will I eat it?
Let me in on this, Ann.
It looks like a good thing.
Hello, Ben.
May I?
Glad you could get here, Mickey.
I'm glad to be here.
Hello Lemp.
Hello, Deitz.
How are you, Ann?
Fine.
Well, how's he been
since he won the prize?
There is no living with him. He walks
about with a check in his lapel ..
And a contract for the Seattle Symphony
Orchestra pinned to his hair.
Shades of Sebastian Bach.
Oh, come along, let's
have some Tom and Jerry.
Boy, do I need that. Was it cold.
Merry Christmas.
Ann, come and see the Christmas tree
Hello, Mickey. Merry Christmas.
Same to you, Felix.
Congratulations on winning the prize.
thanks.
Don't forget that your
orchestrating helped a lot.
Beethoven did his own orchestrating.
He didn't need any help.
He was a musician.
Christmas cheer, Mickey.
Thank you.
Like some, Felix?
Yes, thanks.
Where is Kay? Isn't she here yet?
Poor Kay. Too bad she couldn't make it.
We've a surprise for you.
Kay can't get here.
Why not?
Well, she couldn't be in Briarwood and
sing over the radio at the same time.
Could she?
Oh, aunt Etta.
Oh, is Kay going to sing on the radio?
Tonight at 8:
30 National Network.And we've already sent her a wire
telling her how wonderful she was.
Isn't that great?
Kay on a national hookup?
Well, what have you got to say now?
I haven't a word to say
until I've had my dinner.
Dinner? That turkey ought
