"Come on in, honey.'" " Thank you." " Hello, honey." "I got the money out of the bank, like I said." "Bucker, I came to tell you..." "There ain't no use to worry." "Your grandma's gonna be alright." "Them doctors are a lot better than they used to be." "Yes, but..." "Don't worry about the operation." "She's gonna be alright." " She's gonna walk again." " No, Bucker." "Money will do her no good now." "They phoned me this morning, she died last night." "Died?" "Oh, you poor kid." "What's the trouble, Reilly?" "Oh, Mr. Scudder, this is Mrs. Reilly." "Well, that is, she's gonna be Mrs. Reilly." " She just had bad news." " Well, that's too bad." "Take her on the office, Bucker." "All these boys around.." "Yeah, thanks." "Come on, honey." "Sit down, honey." "To think she was way down there with nobody but Aunt Petty." "And I know what she is." "Poor grandmother might just as well have been all alone." "And mother being sick, oh, I don't dare tell her." "Don't worry, honey." "We'll do everything in the world for her." "We're gonna see that she's laid away right." "Oh, no, no." "You did enough for her in her lifetime." "But if you love a girl, you gotta love her family too." "But you didn't marry my family." "Well, there's just you and your mother left." "Of course, we don't count Aunt Petty." "Poor grandma way down in New Orleans." "Well, you'll have to go down there yourself and take care of the funeral." "Me, all alone?" "All the way to New Orleans alone?" "Don't worry." "The conductor on the train will take care of you." "You can't send the money down there and pay." "You know, you can't trust those undertakers." " You can't go, can you?" " I should say not." "I'll have to stay right here on the job." "Here, here's 300 bucks." "You go home and pack." "And I'll put you on the train tonight." "Oh, I hate to take it." "It makes me feel like a noose thrown around your neck." "Oh, now, don't talk like that." "Please don't cry anymore, honey." "I want the gang to see you." "I told 'em how good you look." "I'll try." "I'll try my best." "Here comes my pal." "Now, remember, we ain't married we're just engaged." "Oh, I can't meet anybody." "I look too terrible." "That's alright, honey." "Don't cry." "Hey, Ed, I saw that wife and kid of yours out there." "Oh, hello." "Gunner, this is the sweetheart." ".So, this is the little girl you're gonna marry, huh?" "You shouldn't make me meet any people, the way I look." "She just had bad news, her grandma just died." "Her grandma?" "'Ah, say, that's too bad.'" "'I know just how you feel.'" "Oh, she'll be alright." "She's leaving tonight." " Yeah." " You know, the funeral." "Oh, yeah." "Oh, come on, honey, you better go." " Goodbye." " Goodbye." "Okay, Mike." " Well, was I right?" " Right." "You see, Gunner, it's just like I always been telling you about saving your money." "The day always comes when you can make somebody happy with it." "It gives me a lot of satisfaction to be able to help that little girl out." "Right." "You know, Bucker, maybe, you'll never know how much happiness and satisfaction you're gonna get out of giving that money." "Well, that's why I say." "[male singing] [instrumental music]" "Well, I don't know how they do it." "But this bunch can sure take punishment." "Well, mama ain't coming to the rescue." "Not the way that little going's been acting." "[singing continues]" "Say, we haven't got athlete's foot." "Let them play something we can dance to." "Play it again." "I think we can dance to this." "[music continues]" "You don't mind, do you, Pinkums?" "Well, yes and no." "You think you're funny, don't you?" "Ah, go stuff a duck." "Are you gonna swallow that?" "Why don't you take a swing at him?" "Well, the little wife's in the hospital and I don't wanna take a chance." " Afraid of getting pinched, eh?" " Yeah." "It would be an awful shock to her." "Nice!" "(Gunner) 'Play it again.'" "Lady, I, I don't want any trouble with your friend." "Pinky, we gotta get him out of here." "Yeah, yeah." "The little wife's in the hospital." "That's where we'll all be." "See if you can get him to go to Millie's room." "Well, I'll try." "But who's gonna get him out of Millie's room?" "Well.." "Hey, Gunner, don't you think that.." "Amazing!" "Oh!" "[yells]" "Who's next?" "[snorts]" "Was that yours, you round heeled slug?" "(male #5) 'You can't get away with that.'" "Let go, I'll tear this joint down." "Let go of him." "That man insulted me." "Can't a man defend his lady friend?" "As much as I hate to admit, he was pinching me too." " Come on, let go." "Let go of me." " Please, honey." "He'll be alright." "Now, sit down." "Sit down." "Sit, sit down, honey." "Everything's alright." "Now, be quiet." "Get us a couple of whiskies, quick." "Now, be quiet." "It's alright now." "Just take it easy." "Come on." "Come out of it." "Come on, Mary." "Let's get away from this trash." " Trash?" " Yes, trash." "You oughtn't say that." "They're alright." "No, they're not alright." "You're too good to associate with this scum." "Come on." " 'Goodbye, Mr. Dempsey'" " I'll pop you." "Come on, honey." "Come on." "Come on." "Ah, I'll be ashamed bringing you to a dump like this." " The nerve of that guy." " Oh, he's just drunk." "Here we are." "I'll get some cold beer." "[glass shatters]" "Save one for me, honey." "Sit down, honey." "Get some of this cold beer into you." "There you are." "Just what the doctor ordered." "Oh, your hand!" "You cut it." "I'll get a towel." "No, it's alright." "Here, let me do that." "You can't do it right with one hand." "Let me see." "Jeez.." "Here, this will keep the dirt out of it at least." "Keep you from getting blood poisoning." "There." "There you are." "Gee, you're a funny guy, Gunner." "[knocking] [gasps]" "The house dick." "Oh, don't say anything." "I'll say that my umbrella went through the window." "Oh, it's you." "(Gunner) 'What are you nosing around here for?" "'" " I demand an apology." " Apology?" "Do you owe this clam an apology?" "Oh, you think she's better than us, eh?" "We're trash." "Well, she's no better than I am." "You're trying to call her a dirty name..." " Gunner, please." " You better warn him about me." "Don't worry, I ain't strolling out with you." " Get out of here." " Come on, Gunner." "Let me alone." "This is my room." "Now, get out before I throw you out." " Get out!" " Hello, everybody." "I could only get a pint." "Go over to the room with Pinky, Gunner." "Go on, honey." "I'll be right over." "I'll come back and take care of you later, you little runt." " Come on, Pinky." " Say it isn't so." "(Pinky) 'How do you want yours, Gunner?" "High ball or straight?" "'" "I don't want any." "What?" "You don't want any?" " Where are you going?" " 'New York.'" "New York?" "Why, we just got here six hours ago." "Well.." "'Mercy.'" "Well, I like the ones of Millie and me." "Yeah, but that's the girl that Bucker's gonna marry." " Marry?" " Yeah." "Oh, well, that's usually the case." "No, I'd hate to show him the rotten things." "It's a dirty trick." "Well, after all, it's a favor to him, ain't it?" "You think it's a favor to her?" "Swell kid like her?" "Throw the hook into her this way?" "See?" "I'm stuck on her." "Well, then, you're not gonna show her up." "'I've got to show her up." "I can't let him marry her.'" "Why, we couldn't live in the same town together." "We couldn't drop it if we tried." "Ho, gee whiz, Gunner, what are you gonna do?" "Do?" "I'm going through with it." "I'm gonna show her up." "You don't tell me about that guy." "You've let him kick you around so much he's gone completely baddy over you." "Yeah, swell way he's got of showing it." "Been a long time since anyone busted out windows over me." " Here, get this down." " Thanks." "Oh, you know what's rubbing him." "Go in there, tell him you ain't gonna marry this clunk." "I've already married him." "O-o-oh." "Well, you gotta tell him sometime, might as well be now." "Yeah." "But not on the ninth floor." "[ballroom music]" "I hope he doesn't pull it while they're dancing." "Gee, ain't this swell, Gunner?" "Not much like those joints we used to knock around in, huh?" "That's right." "Tell you, the right girl makes a lot of difference." "It sure does." "I bet the weather was swell this time of the year 'down in New Orleans.'" "Oh, of course, she didn't get much chance to go around you know, her grandma." "(Gunner) 'Oh, sure, that's right.'" "Hey, I got a bottle of brandy out in the checkroom" "I better get it, huh?" "[music continues]" "Oh, I didn't know he was gonna bring any liquor but you don't mind, do you, Mary?" "No." "Oh, hey, look." "Here's your ring." "Put it on and see if he notices when he comes back." "If he don't, I'll make some wisecrack about it." "Do you think we ought to do it here?" " What do you mean?" " I mean on the roof." "I was thinking we'd wait until we're in a room, you know, home." "He's gotta know it sooner or later and this is good a time as any." "I wish you wouldn't do it right now." "You know, I'm still sad..." "Ah, it'll make you feel better, honey." "Go on, put it on." "Go on, hurry up." "[clapping]" "Pardon me, sir." "You're friend dropped these on his way out." "Okay, thanks." "Hey, put your other hand right underneath it." "Like that, see." "Now he can't help, but see it." "Oh, boy, is he gonna get the surprise of his life?" "[laughs]" "What are these?" "[piano music]" "Ooh la la, is all I can say." "[indistinct chattering] [music continues]" "Bucker, I'll be in my room tonight... if you want to see me." "I'm sorry." "You see, he-he was on the same train he was going to Atlantic City and.." "Well, I was feeling bad and like you know, he gave me something to drink and, well, I guess in my condition it went to my head 'cause I don't remember anything very clearly after that." "'I just knew I was there and... that's all.'" "[clock chiming]" "I forgot the toast." "[glass shatters]" "Why, you guys sure had me going last night." " How's it now?" " Okay." "I sure gave that little girl a tough evening." "That is till she told me how you guys got her off the train to take those pictures for a joke." "Yeah." "We didn't know you were married." "Oh, sure, sure I know." "It was my fault." "[whistle blowing]" "[machine whirring]" "[whirring continues]" "Sorry about last night, Bucker." "Oh, that's alright." "It was my fault, I should have told you." "Feel bad, Bucker." "'Tell you something..." "I don't know how.'" "Oh, I understand." "Don't need to worry about that now." "Easy, Bucker, easy." "Pull me up fast." "My gloves are slippery." "I can't get a grip." "I can't get a grip, Gunner." "'The sweater's over my hand." "Pull yourself up to me, Gunner.'" "'Catch on my hand." "Climb up to me." "Get a hold of my hand.'" "Hey, you mustn't fall, Gunner." "I don't want you to fall." " 'Stop, Gunner, stop!" " Hold my hand, Gunner.' [whistle blowing]" "My sweater's slipping." "Swing in." "Rock from the other side." "Swing." "Rock beside, Gunner." "My sweater's slipping." "Swing." "A-a-ah!" "[indistinct chattering] [ambulance siren blaring]" "If I, if I can only.." "If my sleeve would've held.." "If I could've got my other hand on him." "I tried to get my other hand on him." "Or if the bunch could've gotten to me in time to help." "They all saw me, how I tried to save him." "They saw me try to save him." "I tried, you know that?" "If you get to talk to him at the hospital he'd have told you how I tried." "I know." "I know that if he dies, you murdered him." "Murdered him?" "Have you lost your mind?" "I know you hate him, you wanted me to murder him for what he did to you, but you mustn't talk like that." "'Cause somebody's liable to believe me, ah?" "I tried to save him." "I swear I did." "You mustn't crack like that, honey." "Well, he's liable to die." "This morning at breakfast I could see that you were planning to murder somebody." "Only I thought it was me." "You?" "Oh, honey, why should I?" "Oh, don't touch me." "So, the gang saw you, huh?" "Saw you trying to save him?" "What a hypocrite you must've been." "Maybe you fooled them, but you're not fooling me." "[telephone ringing]" "Hello, yes?" "He's dying." "Where are you going?" "To the hospital, he needs me." "I was his girl when we married." "You're lying." "It's your own fault." "You lied to him." "'He didn't know we were married.'" "'I should've stopped you this morning.'" "'That's what I should've done.'" "'I should've stopped you this morning.'" "Those pictures he gave you, he did that to show me up." "To tell you what I am." "'To let you know that I'm anybody's girl.'" "I ain't sorry for you." "If he dies you're gonna burn in the chair." "'I'll see that you burn." "I'll see that you burn, alright.'" "I'm no lily." "I know how to get money for lawyers." "If the Gunner dies... you won't have to see no lawyers." "If he lives, I'll keep my mouth shut, but I'm through with you." " I'm through, I tell you!" " You're telling me!" "It's alright, doctor." "Don't get nervous." "Your patient's not gonna die." "Well, young fellow, you just missed it and that's about all." "Now, you've got to keep quiet." "They may stay a few minutes, but no excitement." "How do you feel, pal?" "Huh?" "Me?" " Oh, Gunner, I.." " Ah, listen.." "No excitement." "I dropped a guy once." "Went around for weeks thinking I was a murderer." "'I know how you feel, Bucker.'" "Cursing and blaming yourself 'cause you couldn't hold on to me." "But, Gunner, I've gotta tell you, I gotta tell you what I..." "Say, what did you do about those funny pictures" "I brought you from Atlantic City?" "Huh?" "Oh... yeah." "That's what I was trying to tell you, what they made me do." "Ah, nobody cares about that." "It's what you're gonna do from now on." "Well, if that ain't the payoff." "You ain't gonna smoke this sorry stuff." "You ain't so dumb that you don't know that he tried to drop you." "I saw it in his eyes this morning." "Sister, throw this noisy cluck out, will you?" "Hm, I get it." "Trying to shut me up, eh?" "There's a guy in here.." "'...that you've cut right into his heart.'" "'Now, will you please go away and leave him alone?" "'" "She don't mean nothing to me, Gunner." "She's out." " Gunner, do you mean that..." " Yes!" "Will you please throw this dumb dame outta here?" " You'll have to leave." " Skip it, honey." "I get you." "I'm out." "I take my bow." "(Bucker) 'You know, she's been a big lesson to me, Gunner.'" "'She certainly had me fooled.'" "Yeah." "Yeah." "'Well, I'll never be another one fool me.'" "Now, he'll have to have rest." "You may stay a few minutes and then you'll have to leave." "Huh, well, look, uh, couldn't he have something?" "I mean, uh, maybe drink some beer or something?" "No, not now." "I'll let you know later." "[coin clinking]" "Now, did you have to do that?" "Forgive him, lady." "He was born with a dirty brain." " Look..." " Bucker.." "Can't you keep your thoughts outta the gutter?" "Listen, Gunner, I know you're sick but that was a dirty trick." "I could see that was a nice, decent girl." "You could see.." "Oh-h-h!" "All these broken bones for nothing." "Huh?" "[orchestra music]"
