Don't look at him.

He's dying to start trouble.

Just keep ignoring him.

Come on.

You did the right thing.

Sure.

Come on.

He must have fainted. Come on.

Let's get out of here.

Stand clear, please. Stand clear.

Well, good-bye.

Good-bye.

Joe!

Baby...

Joe...

Were you trying to ask me

to marry you tonight?

What?

Because... if you want me to, I will.

Hey, driver! Stop it, will you?

Stop it!

Swell trip, wasn't it?

This is a fine start.

Have you changed your mind yet?

No.

Listen...

I don't wanna talk you out of anything

but maybe you'd better wait till tomorrow

to think it over or something.

No, my mind's made up.

Okay.

But I want to be fair.

I'll give you 20 minutes.

You're not trying to back out.

Helen...

That's why I was going away.

I couldn't be around you anymore.

And I couldn't ask you.

I know, Joe.

You'll never be sorry, Helen.

Aren't you even going to kiss me?

Let's get married tonight, huh?

Right now?

Sure.

Can we, this late?

Gosh, I don't know.

The information Bureau. They know everything.

Yeah...

you can ask them anything.

Uh-huh.

I knew a boy once...

You don't have to tell me about him now,

do you?

But, Joe, it was just a boy...

I know...

Oh, I'm sorry, I...

I was just thinking I didn't know

anything about you before and...

And what, Joe?

Well, I get crazy when I think

there was another guy, maybe, or...

or something, or...

Well...

Let's skip it, huh?

You can skip it, Joe.

There's never been anybody.

I knew it, see?

That's the crazy thing about me.

I knew it all the time.

How do we get to this Information Bureau?

The subway.

This is going to be a life sentence, kid.

You bet.

No time off even for good behavior.

You can't get rid of me, Joe.

Get rid of you?

I wonder if you know

what you mean to me.

A whole new life.

With you I can do as you said.

Forget that I was in prison.

You're not getting such a bargain, Joe.

You?

Do you know what kind of girls

an ex-con usually meets?

Jailbirds and dames like that.

If a guy is gonna hang around with them,

he might as well stay in jail.

I know what you're gonna say.

I feel sorry for him, too.

Bur I just don't wanna be around him.

Maybe I'm too suspicious.

That's what prison did to me.

I could never trust them.

Joe, I...

I love you more than anything

in the world.

Keep remembering it.

I know I can trust you.

You'll never lie to me.

You'll never let me down.

Come on, let's go.

How many more flights are there?

Shhh! You'll wake up the landlady.

Why doesn't she keep the lights on?

She thinks I'm home already.

I never stay out so late.

I always get married in the afternoon.

Ouch!

Joe, are you hurt?

I'm dead.

Shh. She'll hear you.

The Statue of Liberty.

She lives down the hall.

Nice place you got here.

Yeah, here we are.

Here. Shhh!

All right.

Joe... don't laugh but...

it's good luck to be carried over the threshold,

Okay.

Don't catch on fire.

No.

There goes my last match.

Move a little to the left.

There's a lamp there.

I think there's a lamp.

I found the lamp.

Statue of Liberty.

How do you like it?

Softest floor I ever fell on.

Get up from there.

Get up and get out of my house.

Out!

Oh, Mrs. Levine...

Don't Mrs. Levine me.

Out!

Out!

That good for nothing bummer...

But Mrs. Levine, we're married.

We were married tonight.

Sure!

Aw, shush.

I don't believe you.

If you were married,

you would have told me, Helen.

I didn't know it myself until tonight.

Look.

How wonderful! Look, Abie.

You see?

Hmmm.

Joe, this is Mr. and Mrs. Levine.

Joe Dennis, my husband.

How do you do?

Pleased to meet you.

How are you?

Zol Zein Mit Gluck.

That means it should be with luck.

Thanks.

You are a fine boy.

But you are getting

the best little girl in the world.

I know it.

Mama...

They're both going to live here, eh?

Of course, where else?

That's Mr. Kelly.

We must be disturbing him.

Oh, so we are disturbing him, huh?

I'll fix him.

You go to sleep

or we don't stop making noise.

Six weeks rent he owes me.

And he should complain from our noise.

Kinder, tonight you can make

all the noise you want.

Come on, Abie.

Mama...

Maybe I bring up a bottle of wine

and be sure the young people

have a good time.

With a bottle of wine you gonna show

the young people a good time.

Go, go bring the luggage, go.

You know, darling, I wasn't going

to throw you out.

Just him.

Good night, kinder.

Good night.

Good night.

Come on, come on.

Good night.

Zol Zein Mit Glick.

Neue Gluck.

I think they like you.

I think they like you, too.

Let's clean up the place, huh?

Yeah. Gosh, what a mess you made!

Mess I made?

You made it.

I never make a mess.

Well, you did this time.

Oh, no I didn't.

Oh, yes you did.

Okay, okay, I did, I did.

Here's your hat.

Thank you.

What's that?

Bathroom.

Oh.

And that?

Closet.

Closet.

I don't know, but er...

Isn't there something missing?

Missing?

Yeah, you know, a...

Behind you.

Well, I guess you'd better unpack

your things.

All right.

You can have one of the top drawers

and half of the middle drawer.

That's all you get.

I'll help you.

Okay.

What a mess.

Took me a long time to fill it.

I'm gonna frame this some time

ten years from now.

Well...

Joe, I'll empty the drawer.

You empty your grip.

Okay.

Joe...

I just happened to think that...

We better not say anything at the store

about us being married.

Why not?

They don't want their employees

to get married to each other.

It's a rule.

Yeah?

I didn't know that.

Funny.

Don't sound like Morris.

Well...

We know we're married.

Don't we?

Hello, Helen.

Hello.

Still living at the same address?

Y...yes

Mrs. Levine.

It's an awful nice place.

I hope it is.

I'll drop in some evening.

See you... Wednesday.

Good-bye.

Gee, it's tough trying to eat

a turkey sandwich

and get a henna rinse

both in your lunch hour.

Hiya, Nellie.

Hello.

Hello, Gladys.

Her name ain't Gladys.

No?

No.

Daisy, isn't it?

Oh, I remember, Elsie.

Helen!

I don't know how I forgot it...

Excuse me.

It's all right.

What are you doing tonight, Nellie?

Anything?

Not with you. I gotta steady.

Why don't you have a date with Helen?

I don't believe I can.

I have a date.

You wouldn't even break it for me?

Don't be so smart.

You ain't the only pebble on the beach.

Oh, I forgot about my henna rinse.

What does she mean by that crack?

Nothing. She's just trying to build me up.

Jealous already?

Not if you give me a date... Gladys.

Uh-huh.

Not even to go on a honeymoon?

Where are you going to get the money

for a honeymoon?

I cancelled my ticket to California.

Crazy.

Go ahead, kid. Pick your honeymoon.

Come on.

Okay.

Potato salad, cucumber salad, turkey,

deviled egg, Swedish meatball, celery...

What have you got, Joe?

Cream fish, salmon, smoked herring,

shrimps, anchovies...

Say, you don't like fish, do you?

No, the fish are crazy about me.

They follow me around like dogs.
