Double Wedding Page #2

...to put one over on the income tax,

to lose money.

You make profits.

Do you want to ruin me?

I've got it. We'll double your salary.

- Thank you.

- I wouldn't think of it.

My salary's big enough already.

More than enough for myself

and Irene and Waldo.

Waldo? Do you support Waldo too?

He's been boarding with us for four years,

ever since mother picked him out for Irene.

Why didn't the old lady

pick out a man for you?

A man? I'm afraid I've never

given it much thought.

Men and marriage and all that sort of thing

take up too much time.

Look, babe,

you only have to run a dress shop.

Catherine the Great

had 50 million Russians on her hands...

...and she had plenty of time left over.

Oh, I used to dream of knights in armor

and rumble seats.

I've read Byron and picked wild flowers.

Well, I never read Byron but you can't

tell me anything about rumble seats.

You see, I've had responsibilities.

I had a job to do, raising Irene.

I'm very proud of what I've done.

I've kept her from making mistakes.

Well, it's a lot of fun

making mistakes sometimes.

Ever watch the sun rise

with a guy you're nuts about?

I almost always look at it,

alone when I get up.

Oh, not get up, stay up.

I'm just not interested.

Except for Irene and Waldo.

I've arranged a wonderful honeymoon

for them.

They wanted California

but I think Bermuda would be much nicer.

It's Hollywood I'm afraid of.

You see, Irene wants a career in the films,

so I think it's best for her not to go.

At least, not until

after the children have come.

Well, how many children

are they going to have?

Well, naturally, that's up to them.

Well, now, that's mighty white of you.

Ir...

I beg your pardon.

Who was that?

Must be one of the paperhangers.

They sometimes get to look like that.

Irene. Waldo.

Ir...

Ir...

Charlie. You shouldn't have come here.

What are you doing here?

- What are you impersonating? A cake?

- These are our wedding clothes.

Margit thought it would be

good for us to get married.

- She's arranged us to be married in May.

- The first Sunday.

First Sun...

I suppose that's her first free day.

Do you wanna be married

when your sister wants or you want?

- Now, look, you don't know Margit.

- No, but I will. Say, where is she?

In her office.

But you don't understand...

- Which is her office?

- She doesn't realize...

Well, she will.

There are things I wanna talk to her about:

- Life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness.

- No, Charlie, please.

She doesn't even know you.

- No, you're kind of a secret.

- We want you to meet her nicely.

- You'll love her.

- There no reason why an older sister...

Charlie, please!

Pretty please?
