- No, just plain. Would you like one?

No, thanks.

Hold me, hold me...

You kinda like that song,

don't you, Mrs. Loomis?

There isn't any other song.

With all your heart's protection

This is a moment of

Thrill

Thrill me, thrill me

Take me, take me in your arms

And make my life...

Perfection

Take me

Darling, don't forsake me

Kiss me, hold me tight

Love me, love me tonight

Gee, I'm sorry. He was OK before.

I think he cut his hand. If you want,

we have some Mercurochrome.

- I wouldn't dare go in there right now.

- If you don't mind, I'll do it.

Well, thanks.

Your husband doesn't seem to like music.

Depends. He'll get right down and dig,

if you give him a rocking chair

and a corny old tune like In the Gloaming.

What is it?

I brought you some Mercurochrome

for your hand. I'm Polly Cutler.

I suppose she sent you

to find out if I cut it off.

- Well, tell her I didn't!

- Do you want me to fix it or not?

I...

I guess it was silly, what I did.

But that song...

She didn't tell you about that, I bet.

Of course not.

She didn't say where

she first heard it or with who.

Well, she didn't tell me either.

Hold still, please.

Parading around,

showing herself off in that dress,

cut down so low in front

you can see her kneecaps.

- It's a stunning dress.

- Would you wear it?

Well, I'm not the kneecap type.

She's a pretty girl. Why hide it?

Don't worry about that.

She'd like to wear it where everybody

could see her, in the Yankee Stadium.

She's a tramp!

I tell you now so you won't have to ask.

You love her very much, don't you?

What do you know about it?

You're stuck on her.

Otherwise, you'd walk off and forget her.

I...

I guess so.

That's some confession to make, isn't it?

Here. Let me fasten the end of this.

- What's that?

- It's 8:
30.

Look out the window.

Oh!

- Let's go out with the others.

- I can't see anybody now. I...

I feel goofy after what happened.

Let me tell you something.

You're young. You're in love.

Well, I'll give you a warning.

Don't let it get out of hand

like those Falls out there.

Up above it...

Did you ever see

the river up above the Falls?

It's calm and easy.

If you throw in a log it just floats around.

Let it move further down

and it gets going fast.

It hits some rocks and in a minute

it's in the lower rapids

and nothing in the world,

including God himself,

can keep it from going over the edge.

It just goes.

Don't worry. I'm one of those logs

that just hang around in the calm.

Hi.

Hey, Polly, come on.

You're missing the big show.

- Got myself a ringside table.

- Oh.

Look at those.

Couple of colors I never heard of before.

- This is my husband, Mr. Loomis.
