Penny Serenade Page #3

I don't know whether it's the way

it looks or the way it smells, or what it is.

It always makes me feel

I want to be off somewhere.

I know, darling. I always feel

the same way.

Oh, Roger,

I wish this was our honeymoon.

Oh, I do too, darling.

Promise me something, will you?

Promise me never to take it off.

I'll never take it off,

no matter what happens.

Thank you, darling.

Roger, the train's moving.

I'll get you off in a minute.

All aboard!.

Write from Yokohama.

Roger.

Darling.

Oh, sweet.

Here we are.

- Ours?

- Yours.

Roger, I didn't expect anything like this.

It's like something in a dream.

These are our servants,

Cook-San and O'Hanna-San.

How do you do?

- Hello.

- Hello.

- Hello.

- Hello.

Hello, there.

- Hello.

- Hello.

- Whose children are they?

- The servant's children. They live here.

I thought you didn't like children.

Who, me? They're all right.

Come on in.

How do you like the place?

It's lovely. But it's so luxurious.

How could we afford it?

Don't be so practical

when I'm being highly romantic.

Nothing's too good for my little wife.

Come on and see it.

- How do you like that?

- It's beautiful.

You are sweet.

But I would have been satisfied

with anything just to be here.

Oh, I know you would, darling.

But only the best for you.

Come on, we have an upstairs

to this house too.

- We have a shinshitsu.

- What's a shinshitsu?

Shinshitsu is the Japanese word

for bedroom, believe it or not.

That's right, you wrote me

you spoke Japanese.

Roger, it's perfect.

Simply perfect.

I thought you'd like it.

Hello, there.

Roger, are we going to keep it,

I mean, stay here right along?

Why, certainly.

It's yours.

I bought the lease from

an American that went back.

I got the lease, the furniture,

two servants, three kids...

a cat, and her kid.

All for 2,000 yen.

Two thousand yen.

How much is that?

About a thousand dollars.

- A thousand dollars.

- That's right.

How in the world did you do it?

I mean...

get the money to send to me

and buy all this too?

- I got an advance.

- Advance?

Sure. An advance on the salary.

Everybody does out here.

Only the other day a fellow

down at the office was saying...

he wished April was here.

And I said why?

And he said, so I could get an advance

on my December salary.

Oh, now, darling.

You're not going to be one of those wives

always worried about money, are you?

No, only...

Besides, you forget we still

have the inheritance.

Yes, I know, but I'd sort of

hate to start off in debt, especially...

You've got a lot to learn

about the Orient.

Roger...

Remember this?

Sure, it's one of those fortune things

you got at the beach.
