Well, your coat, sir.

Oh, no, no. I... I...

Don't you think I'm right?

'Course you're right.

Thirty-seven and 38.

Thirty-seven and 38.

What's the whole thing

amount to? $40,000.

Well, say it's $50,000.

For a measly $50,000, you'd expect me

to give up two weeks of my vacation?

The government gets half

of that anyway.

All you'd be getting

is $25,000...

and sitting in a hot office

for two weeks.

They must think

you're an idiot.

This must be a new

five-dollar coin.

Looks like the same old

dime to me, though.

How's business? They're

dime-ing us to death.

Still raining?

Buckets.

Ahh! Is your tongue

supposed to be white?

Everybody's wearing it

this season.

I just figured out why drug

stores have lunch counters.

They lose money on food, but they make

a big profit on bicarbonate of soda.

Pardon me.

Did you find her?

No, sir.

You didn't? Did you try

everywhere? The beauty shop too?

Yes, sir. Isn't there

someplace else you can look?

We'll do the best we can, sir.

I'll call you the moment I...

My dear, he's the handsomest doctor

I've ever had. How marvelous.!

He's simply priceless! He found

everything the matter with me!

How perfectly divine.!

Miss.!

I beg your pardon.

Could you do me a tremendous favor? Huh?

I'm in a bad spot.

Could you help me?

I've got to have something.

No, I don't mean that! Yes.

I've got to bring somebody home. I'll

give you $50 if you'll only come! What?

I know this is improper

to talk to you, but...

My father's dying.

Can you help me?

You don't understand. I work

here. I only have an hour off.

I'll have you back by then. I'll explain it to

you later. Please, come. I'll give you anything!

Just get in the car here.

I'll help you with the umbrella.

Here she is, Dad.

This is my father.

Hello.

Can't see her.

Raise the lamp.

Take off your hat.

Pretty.

Sit here, child.

I had to see you.

I'd been worried

what kind of a girl he'd marry.

He's... He's had so many wrong 'uns,

but I believe...

he's picked the right one this time.

I think he'll make you happy.

My... MyJohnny's a good boy.

He's a little weak, but honest.

Never told me a lie.

I... I spoiled him, of course.

Don't you spoil him too.

Keep an eye on him for me.

Won't you?

You promise me?

We've had some beautiful women

in our family.

You should have seen his mother.

You're going to fit in just fine.

My, you're pretty.

Oh, don't cry, dear.

There's nothing to be sorry for.

I had a good life.

I didn't miss anything.

And I've never been happier

than I am right now.

Please go now.

He seems such a

wonderful man. Yes, he is.

You go along for years

and take someone for granted.

It never hits you
