Make Way for Tomorrow Page #2

can't expect the guy to do more than that.

Father, will you make him

stop talking like that?

Robert, stop talking that way.

Cut it out, Robert.

I haven't room for both of you. There's

only a small couch in the living room.

Mother, there's an extra bed in

Rhoda's room, and she'd love to have you.

If Father doesn't mind going to Cora's for a

while, why don't you come on a visit to us?

Well, that's awfully nice of you, George,

but, well, your father and I thought

that no matter what happened,

we'd always be t...

Oh, well, never mind what we thought.

Nellie, can't you and Harvey...

Yes, I can.

I plan to do more than you and Cora.

I can practically promise that within

three months they'll be together again.

Of course,

I'll have to speak to Harvey about it.

Will you put that in writing, Nellie?

Well, that's more like it.

Well, I... I guess everything's settled.

Mother comes for a visit to us

and Father goes to Cora's for a while, hm?

Well, Bark?

- Maybe it'll work out all right.

- Sure.

It'll be very nice

living with the children for a while.

Of course.

- Yeah, except...

- Except what?

Except it never has worked out

for anybody else.

- Father, there's nothing to worry about.

- Now, Bark, you ought not to say that.

Well?

And what are you up to?

I just had a feeling that

Grandpa's picture really belonged in here.

Oh, you did?

Yesterday it was this old, ancient antique,

and today it's Grandpa's picture.

Oh, I've got Grandma in my room,

and that's enough.

I know how you love your own room, honey.

It's tough on all of us.

Even Grandma, you know.

But it'll only be for three months,

and then Aunt Nellie will take her.

Well, OK.

I'll have Mamie take these things

back to my room.

Oh, bridge class tonight?

Mob of them.

By the way, I haven't seen any

of your friends lately. What's the matter?

Grandma. She talks an arm

off everyone I bring around.

I know. I've had a taste of it.

But you must bring your friends home.

I won't have you going out

with boys I've never met.

- Hello, everybody.

- Hello, George.

- Hello, Daddy!

- Dear.

Oh, you're gonna put Pa's picture in here!

That's fine. Mm.

Darling.

Oh, say, what about Mother tonight,

with this bridge and everything?

She's going to be in the way, isn't she?

Wait.

Is she asleep?

Hope I don't get Harvey.

Oh, hello, Harvey. Hiya, boy.

Put Nellie on, will you, Harvey?

Nellie.

It's George.

Hello, George.

Oh, hello, Nellie. I...

Nellie, Anita's having

her bridge class tonight.

And I know Mother's going to be

bored to distraction. I thought...

Oh, I... I'm so sorry, but Harvey's bought

some theatre tickets for tonight.

Well, you know how it is.
