The regular dinner?

No we're not having the dinner.

We just came in for a few appetizers.

We're having dinner in Italy.

Baby, you don't cut. You wind.

Wind?

Look.

Just like this. See how simple it is?

You wind it up. Then you go like this.

Hey, one of those herrings

you had in Sweden just winked at me.

If he does it again, punch him in the nose,

butting in on our honeymoon like this.

It isn't that I can't do it,

I'm just too weak.

Eating with chopsticks is such hard work

I always work up a fresh appetite.

See what your fortune is.

Well? What does it say?

Ten stalwart sons will bless thine old age.

Ten?

Manufactured by the Hong Kong

Noodle Company.

Come on.

Let's get out of here.

What's that?

A pancake, fraulein.

A pancake?

Ya.

I'll fix it.

Yes, sir.

Yeah, a lot of fixing it needs.

Watch. First you squeeze the lemon, see?

Then you spread the apple sauce.

Eating your cake, Joe?

Go ahead, Joe.

I like to see you have a good time.

You know what you can do,

don't you?

I'll be seeing you down at the store

one of these days.

Who was that?

Oh, just a couple of guys.

Really? I'd never have guessed it.

I'm sorry.

No, I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to be nosy.

But you seem worried.

Joe, if you're worried,

I've got a right to worry with you.

We're married, darling.

Don't you think I know that?

Let's go. A fine honeymoon...

eating all the time.

Good evening, darlings.

Hello, hello.

We had such fun.

That's good, kinder, have a good time.

When I was younger, I could tell you...

That's all right, that's all right.

And have I got a surprise for you.

Haven't we, Abie?

I've got a separate room for your husband

already.

Already? Why, we were only

married yesterday.

It's all right,

it's almost free for only 4 dollars.

But... but we just...

You know...

I kicked out that no good for nothing

Mr. Kelly.

He always hollered for quiet,

so I gave him quiet.

With nature in Central Park.

Gee, a suite. I never had two rooms

to live in in my life.

Okay, sold. And we'll use it as

a sitting room.

Okay, now, kinder,

come and see the surprise.

Go ahead, look, look.

You like fish, don't you?

Oh, sure, sure.

Joe's crazy about fish.

They like him, too.

They follow him around like dogs.

Come on, it's our special.

Mama didn't make gefilte fish in a long time.

Let's sit down and eat.

Oh, gaga, they don't need no company.

Good night, kinder,

and have a good appetite.

Good night.

Good night.

Oh, I forgot to tell Mrs. Levine something.

And get rid of the whale before

I come back.

Mrs. Levine.

Yes?

Just a minute.

Will you do me a favor?

What is it, darling?

Well, er... you see...

The Morris Store

doesn't want their girls to marry.

And I heard today that they check up

on their employees.

So if anyone comes around asking questions

you won't give me away.

Leave it to me.

Will I call you an old maid.

And Mr. Levine, you'll warn him.

Listen, who does all the work

around here?

When the spotter comes around spotting,

Abie will keep his mouth shut.

I am the liar in this family.

Thanks.

Good morning, Mr. Morris.

Hello, Joe.

Good morning, Mr. Morris.

Good morning.

Good morning, Mr. Morris.

Hello, MacTavis, how's the wife?

She's fine now, Mr. Morris.

I sure appreciate your transferring her to the laces.

Those heavy bowls in the glass ware

were a wee bit too much for her.

Well, I'm glad to hear she's feeling better.

Thanks, Mr. Morris.

I didn't know your wife worked here.

Sure, we were five years

in the glassware.

I thought he didn't like his employees

married to each other.

Don't be silly. He gave us a $100 icebox

for a wedding present.

Someone has been kidding you.

Yeah, I guess they have.

Well, Helen, you're on the home stretch.

Yes, sir.

Is the job all right?

Yes, sir.

I wish there were more Morrises.

But you've got a good record, Helen.

Keep it up.

Now remember, no drinking.

Yes, sir.

No staying out at night.

Yes, sir.

And no falling in love.

That is, not yet.

No, sir.

Okay. Now I've got good news for you.

I think we can drop

the weekly reports from now on.

I'll see you...

a month from today.

Okay?

Thank you, Mr. Dayton.

Good-bye.

Good-bye.

Why don't you drop around

Thanksgiving Day?

We might talk a little business.

My business is selling sporting goods.

You?

Don't be a sap.

Listen, Joe.

I want you to come in with me.

Sure you do. I always had the brass

and all you had was a quick getaway.

Are you gonna remember that

for the rest of your life?

There was reasons for that.

Listen, I got a pretty sweet setup.

You'd like to make a little dough,

wouldn't you?

That mashie is $14,70.

Too much for me.

I'll be waiting for you on Thanksgiving Day.

I can't keep you from waiting.

Almost ready?

Almost.

Gee, didn't we have fun last night?

I could even stampede out

to be with the Levines.

You know, I like to be with them sometimes.

Why?

Why?

It's the only time I get to be called

Mrs. Dennis.

We don't have to pretend around them.

Oh, Joe, I'd like to climb up to the top

of the roof

and holler to everyone who goes by:

"Hey, I'm Mrs. Dennis."

Why can't you?

Joe, I told you.

Helen.

Are you sure you're right about...

Morris not liking it?

Of course.

Joe.

Would you get me a bath towel,

please.

They're in the closet, darling.

Can't you find them?

Yeah, I found them.

What's the matter, darling?

I found a bundle of letters

in with the towels.

Letters?

What are they?

I really don't remember what they are.

I, er...

They look like love letters.

Can I open them?

No, I'd rather look at them first.

I really don't remember what they are.

Okay.

None of my business, anyway, I guess.

Here's the towel.

Breakfast is on the table.

Aren't you gonna eat with me?

No, I've got kind of a headache.

I'm gonna go out and walk it off.

It's raining.

It isn't bad.

A guy wanted to see me today anyway.

Joe!

Hey, you, will you stop dripping

all over my floor?

What are you doing down there anyway?

I'm looking for Helen Roberts.

She lives here, doesn't she?

Sure she lives here.

You know if she's home?

If you want to see her,

why don't you wait downstairs in the parlor?

Say, what kind of a place do you think

I run here?

Very nice, evidently.

But I still want to see Miss Roberts.

Just take your time, take your time.

Who shall I say wants her?

Dayton. Mr. Dayton.

Maybe. You better wait outside...

Oh, Helen...

It's all right, Mrs. Levine.

I know Mr Dayton. He can come in.

Thank you.

May I?

Thanks.

He's from the store.

Okay.

But I don't like unmarried girls

having visitors upstairs.

I'm awfully sorry, Mr. Dayton.

Mrs. Levine is very strict.

Won't you sit down?

You seem to be pretty well protected here.

Is everything going all right?

Yes, sir.

What about Joe Dennis?

What?

Do you know him?

Yes.

Well I'm glad you're telling me the truth.

We've had a report about

you and Joe Dennis.

You have?

Yeah, you ride to work on the subway
