You and Me Page #8

---

Gee, Joe, now I know why you wanted

to go straight.

Why didn't you tell us

like Helen just did?

That's talk we can understand.

He didn't know.

I tried to tell you, Joe,

but you wouldn't listen.

You mean you tried to tell him

what you told us and he wouldn't listen?

Joe ain't so easy to talk to.

If I had a girl like that,

I'd have some sense.

Where do you get girls like that, Joe?

I got mine out of jail.

Joe...

They raise them smart there.

Smart enough to kid a guy like me

into marrying her.

Joe.

I wasn't any bargain either,

I told you that.

But I told you.

I didn't marry you lying to you

and cheating you.

You should be pretty proud of yourself.

Just skip it that I ever married you.

Now, sister...

Just forget about it.

Let me go.

Don't pay any attention to that.

Let me go.

Gee, Joe, that was no way

to talk to her.

You oughta thank her instead of kicking

her teeth in.

You made her feel pretty bad, Joe.

Did you see her face?

A fella's got a perfect right

to ball his girl out,

but, gee, not in front of people.

Shut up, will you, shut up.

Aw, I know how you feel, Joe.

No guy likes to admit his girl's

that bright.

Shut up, shut up and get out of here.

All of you, go on, get going.

All right, come on.

Let him alone, come on.

Okay, Joe. Okay.

Mr. Morris told us to.

Where are you going?

I'm going away.

And Joe doesn't know a thing about it.

I can tell.

Well, I'm not going to let you do it.

You have no right to take

Joe's baby away from him.

Joe doesn't know about the baby,

Mrs. Levine.

He doesn't know?

No.

I'm glad he doesn't.

He won't worry about

me like he might.

What are you going to do?

I can take care of a baby by myself.

Other women have.

I could take that Joe of yours

and spank him right over my lap.

This isn't his fault, Mrs. Levine,

it's mine.

You don't understand Joe.

I lied to him.

He can't stand that.

He found out.

Helen.

Helen.

Well, she was here this morning

waiting when I came in.

She had no one else to turn to.

But where is she now?

She doesn't want anyone to know

where she is.

But she's my wife, Mr. Dayton.

We're married.

Your marriage was never legal.

As you know, a parolee or convict

has no civil rights.

Any contract he signs

is null and void.

You'll get out of the marriage

she cheated you in to.

You're a free man.

But I don't wanna be free,

don't you understand?

I want my wife.

If you just tell me where she is.

Sorry, she doesn't want to see you.

And we think it's best, too,

if she doesn't.

You didn't send her back, did you?

Just because she married me,

I mean.

No, we didn't send her back.

We don't want her baby

to be born in prison.

Did you say her baby?

That's what I said.

See the papers?

No.

Joe?

Hum-um.

Mickey.

Mickey?

Gee. That could easily happen to us,

you know.

Hello, Joe.

Glad to see you.

I mean...

I know what you mean.

Listen, you guys...

I want you to go in with me on something...

You got a lot of nerve.

I'm through, Joe.

Didn't you see that?

Yeah, but you got me wrong.

I wanted...

I thought maybe you'd help me find...

Helen.

She's gone.

Helen?

Helen?

I told you you oughtn't to kick her around

the way you did.

Oh, shut up, will you? I did it...

and there isn't

anything I can do about that.

What I gotta do is find her

and tell her.

Don't worry, Joe.

If she's in town we'll find her.

Sure, this might have happened to us

if she hadn't kept us in the store.

She kinda belongs to us, too, Joe.

We're gonna turn this town upside down.

We'll turn coppers as much as it hurts.

We'll find her, Joe.

Yeah, we'll find her.

Sure.

We'll take our days off.

I gotta find her.

I gotta find her.

Where have you been?

You've been a big help.

While you guys been doing leg work

I've been doing brain work.

Yeah, with what?

Well, I got to thinking.

If I was a girl...

and I was gonna have a baby...

where would I be?

In a side show.

I'd be in a hospital, that's where I'd be.

But we have looked there.

But I looked at the right time.

Gimpy, you mean...

you didn't find her, did you?

Mr. Dennis?

Which one is Mr. Dennis?

It's all over.

And your wife wants to see you.

Follow me.

Hello.

Hello.

I brought you this.

Joe.

He's in the nursery.

He?

Huh?

Joe... I've been thinking.

Now we're...

don't you think we ought to get married?

I now pronounce you man and wife.

Here they come.

Come on, fellas, get ready.

Congratulations, Joe.

Lots of luck to you.

But where's Gimpy?

Yeah, where is Gimpy?

Well, he's got a right

to know what's going on, ain't he?
