Come on.
Come on.
- I have to wait for Bonnie.
- She can catch up with you later.
Where? You wouldn't let us
find a place to stay.
We didn't bring you chicks in from Vegas
to go apartment hunting. Let's go.
Go, go, go. No one knows where,
but we gotta go.
Aaa-oh,
What is this? Get outta here.
- Where's the girl?
- What girl?
Come on out, duchess.
You heard me. I said come out.
What, may I ask, are you two gentlemen
doing in my room?
- No sale.
- Let's not make a federal case out of it.
Hear of the Mann Act? Transporting
a woman across a state line for immoral...
You drove the girl in
from out of state this afternoon.
Don't you think we check
on those things first with witnesses?
- Get your stuff. Let's go.
- Just a minute, copper.
Did you and your runny-nosed witnesses
check who was gonna pay for the room?
Me.
- So, there we are.
- You know what you'll be charged with?
Yeah, I know.
And it's a misdemeanour, no federal rap.
I've been there before.
- Come on.
- Get your paws off.
I soil easy.
Thanks, kid.
Don't lose this.
Life's a funny thing.
Compared to what?
Now hear this,
I wanna propose a toast to those two
grand little seagulls, Peg and Bonnie.
They made San Diego a port the men of
the USA Pompano will always remember.
- You goofed,
- Pay up, dogface. That'll be a sawbuck.
Where did you learn close-order drill?
in the WAC?
- No.
- The Waves?
- in Ventura.
- California's exclusive finishing school.
Very tough to get into, huh, Peg?
I always say there's nothing like a good
education to get ahead in the worid.
Joe,
I'd like to add a serious note.
Sit down. You're rocking the boat.
Here you are.
I was gonna yell "girl overboard".
- You can't hear yourself think in there.
- I got me a three-day pass starting Friday.
How about me and you
go down to Tijuana?
- Negative.
- Why not?
- I'm going on a weekend cruise.
- Yeah?
- How's about inviting me along?
- You wouldn't fit in.
I'm joining my mother and her friends
on a private yacht.
What are you handing me?
Your mother on a yacht?
My mother on a yacht,
Besides, you're too young.
For what?
Am I still too young?
Well...
Hello, young lovers, hello,
Don't you ever knock
before entering a balcony?
Guess who's here. Mac and Stewie.
- From Frisco?
- Mm-hm.
Forward march,
Bury yourself.
- We finally made the bucket.
- What happened?
Remember that delicatessen
we always wanted to knock over?
- We did.
- And they know we did.
- Can they prove it?
- They got a pretty fair case. A witness.
One witness, that's all?
No fingerprints, nothing like that?
- Not unless I left 'em on the pickles.
- So if we had an alibi...
if you'd say we were with you,
ten to one we'd beat the rap.
- Perjury's a felony.
- That's what I told them.
- There's three bills in it for you and Peg.
- And all your expenses in Frisco.
- I don't know.
- Bonnie, you never let your pals down.
Come on. What do you say?
OK, it's a deal.
- It'll be like old times. We'll have a ball.
- I can't go with this kick.
- Don't be like that. They're nice guys.
- Sure.
I guess I just haven't got your guts.
This is where I cut out.
You guys, there's a party going on.
Let's live it up,
That's my Bonnie,
Wine steward, Some liquor for my friends.
Bongos away, Go, go, go,
Come on, Joe. Put a head on it.
You've done your time,
you're getting out, so watch yourself.
You're on probation for five years.
Don't leave the San Francisco area
or violate your probation in any way
or you'll be back here quick enough.
- No, ma'am, I won't.
- I hope you mean it.
I see one Section K juvenile morals,
four vagrancy, one vagrancy quarantine,
three soliciting, perjury,
not to mention the two years you spent
at the Ventura Reform School for Giris.
As long as you're adding up the score,
my mother was in Ventura before me.
- That oughta be worth extra points.
- I'm trying to say you do have a choice.
People have managed to be fairly happy
by not getting into trouble.
Get a job. Maybe get married.
I have been. Occasionally.
Your way doesn't seem
to be going too well.
- Why don't you try the other?
- Thanks. Maybe I will.
No, Mr Thomas,
I couldn't let you do that.
Don't be silly, Miss Baldwin. Why not?
It is a bother having just one account
in San Francisco. I should open one here.
San Francisco? We're neighbours.
I go to Stanford.
Now I claim it as a right
to cash your cheque.
If you insist. How's 20?
Anything you say.
Just make it out to cash.
I'm terribly sorry.
Allow me, miss. Allow me.
- You in an "earn while you learn" job?
- Cop.
- What?
- Vice cop.
- Look at these, all wet.
- Here, use one of mine.
I feel as though I've just been through
a Laundromat. I'll be right back.
I don't know, Hank. Picking on
a vice squad cop to kite a cheque.
Not much of a recommendation for a job.
- She just got in town.
- How was I...
- Where are you from?
- Frisco.
- Your occupation? What do you do?
- The best I can.
Maybe you can do it for me.
Come here.
I'll see you and I'll raise you.
Your end comes to 100 and a quarter.
For the month, that makes $642.
- I'll put it in the safe for you.
- Uh-uh.
- You want it?
- I'm quitting.
To get married.
- Young Lochinvar from behind the bar?
- Uh-huh.
You've been married three times now.
Let's assume divorced as many.
No white knight's gonna come riding
through your life.
That's right. There isn't space
on my library card for all my names.
You think as Mrs Henry Graham you'll be
so rich that you can't work for me?
I'm tired of it, Perk, all of it.
It used to be fun, but it isn't fun any more.
I go past the markets now and envy the
housewives carrying out the groceries.
I used to think they were
stupid squares too, but...
with a quarter to buy ice.
OK, OK. Congratulate
the bridegroom for me.
Wait till you taste my cooking.
Good luck, Bonnie.
Lay off,
- You crook, Give it here,
- It's our last 10.
- You cashed a cheque.
- I wasted it on food.
Listen to me, Hank. When I got pregnant
you promised to kick the habit.
I've tried, Bonnie. I've tried. But tonight...
Have a heart. Just one more fix
and that's it, I swear.
No.
- Please, Hank, for the baby's sake.
- The baby, the baby.
I got some rights too,
It's all right, honey. Sh, sh.
Look at the tiger, look at the tiger.
Here, sweetie, look at the tiger.
Please, honey, let me have the 10.
I just wanna put it on a horse. Honest.
I got a tip. I could score big.
- Shut up,
- Daddy didn't mean it, darling.
You, you're so holy.
You're worse than me.
You're nothing but a no-good fancy...
Daddy didn't mean it, darling. He's sick.
Don't you tell him about me.
Tell him about yourself.
- And you got a record to prove it,
- All right,
As long as we're all bellied up to the bar
for treats, here's something for you.
I'm sick of supporting you and your habit.
I'm sick of your smell,
