- I only play sure things..

- You must have a good system.

You said it friend.

Just come around tomorrow

and I'll show you how it's done.

It's very simple.

All you do is take the money

that you win on the first race...

...and you bet it on the

winner of the second race...

...then you take the money

that you win on the second race....

...and you bet it on the

winner of the third race...

And then -- you dont lose your nerve,

see -- you take the whole bundle...

...and you put on the

winner in the fourth race...

Cab!

Cab!

- Larry darling, we can't take a cab.

- Why not?

We haven't any money.

Well, I guess we'll just have to

wait here until the rain stops.

Poor darling. What a wedding night!

No money, no cab, no umbrella,

no shelter, no nothing!

Nothing but a wonderful future.

Don't tell me you can read the future

Let's always take life as it comes.

Larry darling, I only pretended

to read the future.

We had to in our act.

But when I'm close to you I ...

...I really feel I can look way ahead.

Years and years.

What do you see? Are we happy?

We'll always be happy

as long as we're together.

- Just the two of us

- Just the two of us?

Oh no, I want at least four sons.

Fine, fine.

And I want five daughters.

- It will have to be a big house.

- Bigger than that!

I wonder how we can afford it?

You'll be the owner

of the "Evening News".

Well then we can have

a whole house full of children.

Big enough for grandchildren too.

And great grandchildren someday.

I can almost see them.

Fifty years from tonight...

...that will be our

Golden anniversary.

- Look darling.

- What?

We can go.

Thanks Pop.

It's good for something anyway.
