Penny Serenade Page #2

Oh, Julie, I've got to have you.

Until death do us part?

Till death do us part.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!

I've got a cab waiting.

All we have to do is sign a license.

Happy New Year!

For richer or poorer...

For richer or poorer.

in sickness and in health,

In sickness and in health,

to love and to cherish,

to love and to cherish,

till death do us part.

till death do us part.

All aboard.

The ticket.

We made it.

- Well, good bye, Applejack.

- Good bye, boy.

- Keep an eye on Julie for me.

- I sure will, boy.

So long, Dot.

Take good care of her.

I will.

Good bye.

Good bye, darling.

Excuse me a minute.

-Wait for me.

-All right.

Oh, Roger, I can't say good bye.

Here you are, sir.

Thank you.

It's not good bye, darling.

It's just see you later.

-Is there anything I can do

for you, boss?

-How soon does the train pull out?

- In about three minutes, sir.

Thank you.

Well, Mrs. Adams.

Mrs. Adams!

Sounds strange.

Not strange.

It sounds great.

- Does sound great, doesn't it

- Yes, darling.

There's something about a train.

I don't know whether it's the way

it looks or the way it smells, or what it is.

It always makes me feel

I want to be off somewhere.

I know, darling. I always feel

the same way.

Oh, Roger,

I wish this was our honeymoon.

Oh, I do too, darling.

Promise me something, will you?

Promise me never to take it off.

I'll never take it off,

no matter what happens.

Thank you, darling.

Roger, the train's moving.

I'll get you off in a minute.

All aboard!.

Write from Yokohama.

Roger.

Darling.

Oh, sweet.

Here we are.

- Ours?

- Yours.

Roger, I didn't expect anything like this.

It's like something in a dream.

These are our servants,

Cook-San and O'Hanna-San.

How do you do?

- Hello.

- Hello.

- Hello.

- Hello.

Hello, there.

- Hello.

- Hello.

- Whose children are they?

- The servant's children. They live here.

I thought you didn't like children.

Who, me? They're all right.

Come on in.

How do you like the place?

It's lovely. But it's so luxurious.

How could we afford it?

Don't be so practical

when I'm being highly romantic.

Nothing's too good for my little wife.

Come on and see it.

- How do you like that?

- It's beautiful.

You are sweet.

But I would have been satisfied

with anything just to be here.

Oh, I know you would, darling.

But only the best for you.

Come on, we have an upstairs

to this house too.

- We have a shinshitsu.

- What's a shinshitsu?

Shinshitsu is the Japanese word

for bedroom, believe it or not.

That's right, you wrote me

you spoke Japanese.

Roger, it's perfect.

Simply perfect.

I thought you'd like it.

Hello, there.

Roger, are we going to keep it,

I mean, stay here right along?

Why, certainly.

It's yours.

I bought the lease from

an American that went back.

I got the lease, the furniture,

two servants, three kids...

a cat, and her kid.

All for 2,000 yen.

Two thousand yen.

How much is that?

About a thousand dollars.

- A thousand dollars.

- That's right.

How in the world did you do it?

I mean...

get the money to send to me

and buy all this too?

- I got an advance.

- Advance?

Sure. An advance on the salary.

Everybody does out here.

Only the other day a fellow

down at the office was saying...

he wished April was here.

And I said why?

And he said, so I could get an advance

on my December salary.

Oh, now, darling.

You're not going to be one of those wives

always worried about money, are you?

No, only...

Besides, you forget we still

have the inheritance.

Yes, I know, but I'd sort of

hate to start off in debt, especially...

You've got a lot to learn

about the Orient.

Roger...

Remember this?

Sure, it's one of those fortune things

you got at the beach.

Fancy you keeping that.

They're not always the bunk,

you said that.

Did I say that?

Well, well.

Sometimes, like wishes,

they come true.

Sure they do, certainly.

Well, why didn't you tell me?

Why didn't you write me?

You don't like them.

I don't like them?

Why, of course I do.

Why would I have three of them

running around the hou...?

And this will be our own.

An American kid.

Our own.

Gee, that's great.

Oh, Roger, I'm so relieved.

You funny little redhead.

Very fine kimono.

Very expensive.

- Husband must be rich man.

- He's either rich or...

- Moshi moshi!

- Hi!

- What are you doing home

this time of the day?

- What makes you so beautiful. huh?

- How did you get off so early?

Come on, let me see you.

Well, if having babies

makes you look like this

we'd better keep on having them.

- How do you like it?

- Oh, Roger, I adore it.

Why all this today?

This isn't my birthday.

It's a souvenir.

A souvenir of your stay in Japan...

because, darling, we're leaving.

Leaving Japan?

Hm-hmm.

Now brace yourself for good news,

Mrs. Adams,

because good news is what I bring.

We now belong to that class of society

known as the filthy rich.

- Roger, the inheritance.

- Yes.

- You got it!

- Yes, mam.

- That's wonderful.

- There, now, you see?

You didn't believe me about it,

did you?

- No, no, I didn't...

- Isn't it great?

Thank you for the dolly.

- Thank you for the ball.

- Oh, that's all right.

I'm teaching him to be a first baseman.

Now, paragraph two,

Mr. and Mrs. Roger Adams,

socially prominent young couple

plan to take a trip around the world.

-The paper's sending you?

- No, I quit the paper.

We're going to have a last fling

before we settle down

and become good old American parents

But, Roger, you just didn't give up

your job on the paper

- ...for no reason at all?

- Oh, darling, this trip's an inspiration.

Do you remember the honeymoon

I promised you?

Well we're gonna have it.

But everything's different now.

We've got to think about the baby.

That's just it. As soon as the baby comes

we won't be able to go anywhere.

Besides, I want our baby born

in the USA.

Maybe even get to work

and start a little paper.

But a trip like this costs a fortune.

Did you get more than the $20.000?

No, as a matter of fact

we didn't get the $20.000.

We sold the property for cash

and got $13.500.

Well, can you take a trip, buy a paper

and all like that on $13.500?

Don't forget there's still lawyers' fees,

deductions and stuff like that.

Just how much did you get, Roger?

I'm trying to tell you.

After the deductions we got $10,000.

- Ten thousand?

- Hm-hmm.

I still got a couple of thousand

in bills around here to pay.

Then you really got only $8,000.

Yes.

Well, did you ever have

that much money in your life?

No.

Then what are you squawking about?

I'm not squawking.

I just think you're acting like a child.

We should be thinking about the future.

You rush in and pack your things

and give up a perfectly good job.

- No grown-up man shouldn't act like that.

- Oh, all right.

I thought the trip would be

a lot of fun for you.

If I had known you would feel

like that, I wouldn't have planned on it.
