But John shows up as a guest of Fenwick and he tells "Linda", not knowing she was part of the scam, that he has a detective after the fake captain that sold him the boat.

He asked for my hand.

,Did! Dear, let me be the

first to congratulate you.

It will be the mother and the father.

Ahead.

?List?

Hi, Miss Worthington.

I thought I was on the

10 o'clock train.

Well, mother...

This will be the opportune moment.

I'm not a millionaire. I'm an

accountant at 65 dollars per week.

I know I do not deserve

it, I offer it my love...

but I will try to make her happy.

What are you talking about?

Of the wedding with his daughter.

There must be an error.

No. I told you his proposal.

? L?? L?

, Go away from here already!

, Impostor!

I'm ready now.

, Lunatic!? What does this mean?

I'm going with him and

nothing will stop me.

Have you gone crazy?

What's with Tod Fenwick?

You can not leave just when

the fat guy touched us.

We were going to earn a million.

Interestingly, I'm not interested.

I have what I want.

Listen, Peter Pan.

If that shaved hair...

He knows that he cheats him...

you end up in the jail or the store.

A fool neither forgives nor forgets.

I'll worry when I touch.

Now ay give me with the suitcases.

We arrived in New

York in 45 minutes.

?What is that?

How to maintain a wife and yacht

with 65 dollars per week.

Savings:
32 dollars. Food: 15

Rent:
15.

Other expenses:
4 dollars.

It's for clothes, the doctor

and any small urgency.

And in 10 years, we

bought another boat.

I left 10 per week for Acme.

The detectives behind the thief.

It is necessary expense.

If they catch the rat with the

money, we would not have problems.

Yes, that would be fine.

Now it does not seem so good...

a girl like t

renouncing everything...

and saving to buy a boat.

It was fine when I was alone,

but it is not the same anymore.

But I want it to be the same.

I do not want to spoil anything.

We should save to buy a house...

with nice curtains and

not playing cowboys.

We are not practical.

?ls not it wonderful?

Maybe your mother is right.

You leave the sweet for the sour.

Unable to take a taxi,

drinking from broken cups...

patching your shoes.

It is a world you never knew.

You will not try to scare me, eh?

If it were not for that thief,

we'd have it all tomorrow.

We can. I have my own money.

Just 15,000 dollars I

saved from my pay.

I was afraid you would

do something like that.

Why not share everything?

After all, it's as much

your money as mine.

Accept it, it's the only way.

It will be your disco expenses.

You make me feel like a waiter.

I will not be a man maintained.

There is self-love.

And also the pig's stubbornness.

Listen, I will not touch

a penny of your money.

It's better to know.

You will live on my salary.

You have to answer: Yes, no.

I will eat and live with you.

In the Pensi n Clancy?

If you live there, me too.

I will do everything you do.

I want to be as much as you, that

we will not be two, but one.

And one spends less than two.

I'm glad it was fixed.

But why do not you

accept the money?

?Who?

A man is invited to a fine

and cheap restaurant.

If you put your hat on and

it does not take long.

Do not you prefer a

"homemade" meal, as they say?

Do you also know how to cook?

?Prepare the dinner?

With my own little hands.

It is incredible.

So it will be in the ribs.

I have a triple threat woman.

Class, beauty and domesticity.

You did not told me.

I could not place a banner

on my bathing suit:

"I also know how to cook."

Good thing not.

Many would have trampled on me.

Hello, Mr. Kellogg. Between here.

Dinner. I do not want to interrupt.

Kellogg of Acme, the detective agency.

Miss Worthington.

Good afternoon.

Do you want to sit, Mr. Kellogg?

Can you repeat the last name?

Worthington.

I like to retain the names.

The names are my trade.

Mr. Kellogg, was there luck?

A very elusive group.

- ? A group?

- I'm in it day and night.

And the case is costing us 10

times more than what it pays.

Group... Did you have others?

Exact. It was the victim not of

one, but of a party of scammers.

Apart from Captain Beasley

I did not see anyone.

Ah, he is wrong.

- A group of three.

- Where are you?

Easy, Mr. Wheeler.

Rome was not built in a day.

I did not see anyone else. And t?

No, but we do not know if

there were more people.

Was Miss Furtherton?

Worthington. Yes, I was.

I should have told me before.

The essential thing is

if you can catch them.

?if we can? Acme never sleeps.

I hope to catch you with the money.

Quiet. Next week he

will pay me the reward.

?Reward?

I give Mr. Kellogg 10%

of the recovered.

And so I build a

house to hunt ducks.

I know it's exciting.

To the water... Dead duck!

Good, good...

Speaking of money, better

pay me what's due.

Do not want to wait until Monday?

I do not like delays.

Do not worry, at any

time we stop them.

I have a hard time waiting.

Thank you.

Well, we'll see each other soon.

Good girl.

It may seem silly, but

it is the best agency.

If someone catches them, it's Kellogg.

In no time you will fry

eggs in your kitchen.

For me, as soon as possible.

Yes, as soon as...

,The ribs!

I am sorry.

What is a dinner in front of

the many that will follow?

I keep my invitation. Grab the

umbrella and change the tie.

Before forgetting, will you

give me a morning assignment?

Until the moon and return.

Deposit a money that I have.

Clear. In what bank?

I closed my account

Has no sense...

open another one under Worthington

when I'll soon be Mrs. Wheeler.

?Y?

And you deposit it in yours...

as a common account.

Just a moment.

- Just a moment.

- ? What happens?

You know, do not be innocent.

You are making a plot.

Good trick.

Trying to place your money...

hidden in my pocket.

We already discussed it. I do

not want to talk about money.

Ok, there's no reason to be angry.

What do you think I am?

Let's be clear:
I will not let

you buy me a subway ticket.

Voucher. You can run behind.

Am I forgiven?

A n no.

I want to get angry for a while.

Without that face of yours,

the fights would last longer.

Married we can fight more.

Now let's celebrate our

courtship outside.

Voucher. Lvate the face.

Let it go.

?Beautiful? Where have you been?

Colonel, I'm in a hurry.

I need a favor. Will you do it?

Oh, you are very kind.

It's this:
I want you to give

15,000 dollars to someone.

I am sorry.

There must be a bad contact.

I thought you would give

someone 15,000 dollars.

?Are you okay?

Yes, I promise, although

it is out of my bouquet.

You're a sweetheart.

His name is Wheeler. You give it

to him, believing he wins it.

A lucky streak...

Like a fairy tale.

It will be something historic:

We give away money.

Ok, I'll send a message.

Where do you want to start?

It must be by stages easy.

It is quite conservative.

Better start with Nick.

Hey, man, speed up that march!

Go for monkeys. It is not a

place to celebrate courtship.

It is the cheapest.

But not very romantic.

If I ask for a waltz, they kill me.

Do you fancy a beer?

I will have to

marry a drinker...
