I'll never forget you.

You know, you can always be my publisher.

I'm telling you that.

You better get him home

before he passes out again.

- Don't have to worry.

- I understand.

I'm not ever gonna get

the big head like...

- You can always be my publisher.

- Okay.

Wait a minute, friend, you've got my head.

Didn't hurt, though. Didn't hurt.

- See you later.

- It's all right.

You know, it's just like coming home

from a big battle the winners.

- Yeah, it was a tough fight, Ma, but we won.

- Oh, Mickey, I'm so proud of you.

But think of all the time lost

because my stuff wasn't recognized before.

Oh, well, all geniuses

have trouble getting started.

Sure, that's what makes them geniuses.

Oh, Mickey, aren't they pretty?

Wait a minute, I wanna pick some.

Just think of it, Pat. My first 100 bucks.

- And it's only the beginning too.

- Is it really the beginning?

Does it mean

that I'm really on my way in the theater?

- I want success so.

- And you'll have it.

I know you will, Mickey.

Just think when our names

are up in electric lights.

You, the big composer and producer,

and me, the singing star.

Oh, and I'll work hard for you, Mickey,

honest I will.

Yeah, then when we go

on our vacations to Europe...

...you know, like you read in the paper.

- Our folks won't have to worry.

- No.

We can pay the bills then.

Pat, sometimes

do you ever feel older than your folks?

Lots. Especially when they talk about

40 weeks on the road.

Yeah, and making a comeback.

Gee, it must be terrible to be a has-been.

Don't talk like that. It scares me.

We gotta work hard

and make a lot of dough for our folks.

That will be fun.

Oh, won't it be fun, Mickey?

Oh, with both of us in there pitching,

it certainly will be.

It's got to be.

Pat, I'd like to buy you a little something

out of this 100 bucks, but l...

Oh, we gotta pay our grocery bill too.

Well, l... Just the same

I'd like to show my appreciation some way.

Would you like my pin?

It's your music class pin.

Well, what do you want me to say?

You know what I want you to say.

Well, I won't.

All right then, don't.

Oh, Pat, I do.

You do what?

I do,

what you want me to say and I won't.

Very much.

- Well, that settles that.

- Yeah.

Gee, you know, it's good for a man

to have responsibilities.

Your act is just as sure fire as it was

when you were knocking them in the aisle.

Say, Dad. Dad, what's going on here?

Mickey, we're going on the road,

all of us.

- Oh, gee, that's swell, Dad. When do leave?

- Mickey, none of us kids can go.

None of the kids can...

What do you mean, Dad?

Well, you see, son, it's only the acts

that go, no excess baggage.
