I do think it's adorable.
Janet, with a talent like that,
you are missing a golden opportunity.
Of course. If you had
a little shop in New York.
It would have to be
in an inexpensive neighborhood.
Where the rent would be reasonable,
like, uh, Valley Stream.
Oh, Janet, what a business you
could have for yourself.
- A business? - Why, she'd just
rake in the money, wouldn't she?
She would indeed. Of course, she would need
some capital to get started.
Mm. How much money do you think
she'd need, Charles?
Oh, I'd say about,
uh, $10,000.
Janet, if you decide to do this,
don't worry about money.
I have a little
savings at home.
What better use could I put it to
than to help you get started.
Oh, Martha, how sweet.
How sweet you are, dear.
But I don't need it.
She doesn't know I have the money,
does she, Charles?
How wonderful, Janet.
Now, you two, just help yourselves
to whatever your hearts desire.
It's my treat.
My! A dollar eighty-five
for a veal cutlet.
I think I'll have a pork chop.
It's a better buy.
Pork chop, please.
But have whatever
you want, Charles.
Don't let me influence you.
You too, Martha.
I'll have
the pork chop also, please.
And don't skimp on his potatoes
like you did on mine.
What will you have,
Martha dear?
I'll have the veal cutlet.
I don't care for pork chops.
Veal cutlet for her.
And go easy on the gravy.
It looks starchy. Full of flour.
I know this place.
I eat here all the time.
No!
No, that's
not the dessert.
They're over this way.
Come along.
I wish I had known you were
going to sweep me off my feet...
and take me
to New York with you.
- Why, dear? - Oh, because I never
would have paid the hotel for January.
Here it is only the first.
I'll be checking out on Monday.
I think I'll get me
another cup of coffee.
Oh, here, dear,
let me give you the dime.
Forget it, Janet.
I might want something else.
That girl eats too much.
Well, she always
had a healthy appetite.
We could've left
first thing tomorrow...
- but you want to go to Mass.
- Oh, yes.
And then you do want to take your money
out of the banks first thing Monday morning.
You might need some
for a deposit at the hat shop.
And as I told you,
you get a much better interest rate...
at my bank
in Valley Stream.
Yes, of course.
And then we leave
immediately for your new home.
Well, I'm afraid
we're not going to make it...
to Valley Stream
before the banks close.
You see. We shouldn't have stopped
all that time for that big lunch.
Wasn't necessary.
Not at all.
I told you, Janet. I get nauseous
riding on an empty stomach.
- Did you want me to throw up?
- Oh, dear.
Besides, you took
an awfully long time at the bank.
It would've been quicker if you had
taken the money out in cash.
And ride around with $10,000?
That's cute.
Really, Martha, you don't
have as much common sense as I thought.
I want my two best girls
to stop arguing this very minute.
I think I'll look at
my beautiful pictures for a while.
You're sure there's
a nice place for them?
Oh, yes of course.
We'll hang them up this evening.
Good. That's the only thing
in Albany I'll miss.
My lovely church. Everything I have
goes to them, you know.
There's a nice Catholic church in
Valley Stream too. I'm sure you'll like it.
I know I will.
But I'll miss St. Agnes.
And of course I'll miss
Albert and Sarah too.
Do you really think it was right leaving
like this without telling them a word?
Sure. Think of the exciting surprise it
will be tomorrow when you call them...
and tell them, "I am now
Mrs. Charles Martin."
"Mrs. Charles Martin."
Martin's Hat Shop.
Isn't that cute?
There they are, safe and sound
in your new home.
That was
a delicious supper, Martha.
Are you sure I can't help you
now that we have the pictures up?
No, dear. You and Charles
have business to attend to.
you like. I'll clean up in the kitchen.
That's a good idea.
Janet, why don't you get your purse?
We can go over
everything together right now.
All right.
Fine. I suggest you deposit it
in one lump sum in my bank.
But you better keep
a thousand in cash...
in case we find
a nice store for you.
They might not
take a check.
Even with your references?
- I don't know everyone in Valley Stream, darling.
- All right.
But the jewelry goes
in a safe-deposit box.
Not until after the wedding.
I want my bride to look
her very loveliest.
Oh, yes. Of course.
Now what are you writing
on those sheets of paper?
I have a marvelous idea.
- "Surprise"? - Just sign your name
at the bottom of the page.
And then what happens?
And then I take them
out tonight and I mail them.
One to your daughter Sarah,
one to Lucy...
and one to Father Nicholas
at St. Agnes.
They get them tomorrow morning.
"What's this from Janet?"
They say.
"'Surprise'?
What does that mean?"
Then they ring each other up
on the telephone.
"'Surprise'?
What's the surprise?"
And then first thing
tomorrow morning...
we print up
some wedding announcements.
Mr. And Mrs. Charles Martin take pleasure
in announcing their marriage...
January 3rd in Valley Stream,
Long Island.
Mrs. Martin is the former
Janet Fay of Albany, New York.
After a wedding trip
to Miami, Florida...
they will make their home
in Valley Stream, Long Island, New York.
A wedding trip...
to Miami, Florida?
I might as well
tell you now.
That was
my surprise for you.
Oh. Oh, Charles!
How wonderful!
"Surprise".
What a cute idea!
While you have
your fountain pen in hand...
- why don't you endorse the checks?
- Endorse them tonight?
I have to be out of the house
very early in the morning...
to get the wedding announcements
printed in time.
I could stop at the bank first thing
and put them in for you.
Oh, Charles,
you better hide them.
Oh, yes. I have
a nice secret place in the cellar.
I'll take them down there
this very minute.
And now, why don't you address
the envelopes for the surprise letters...
so I can mail them
when I come back up?
We need another surprise letter
for my nephew in Utica.
Fine. Do a few more.
We can always use
an extra one or two.
Martha, you'd better
come down the cellar with me.
You can help me
hide Janet's checks.
Don't you
want me to help, dear?
No, darling. It's very dark down there.
You might hurt yourself on the stairs.
You finish addressing
your letters while we do it.
All right.
If I didn't see it,
I wouldn't believe it.
What do you mean,
you wouldn't believe it? You saw.
That is what you get for being kind
to a woman and giving her affection.
I bolted the door
from the inside.
Charles, what's the matter?
I can't open the door.
Are you
all right down there?
One minute, Janet.
I'll be right up.
I'll be right back.
The catch slipped.
We're locked in down here.
Oh, dear God. Can't I
open it from this side?
Oh, Janet,
it won't open.
My goodness!
