I'll get a job right away,

and I'll send for you.

When you come to New York,

we'll be married.

- Tommy, I can't let you go. I just can't.

- I know, darling, but I've got to.

I couldn't get a job here now, anyway.

Not a chance.

- Yeah, I know.

All aboard!

You won't forget how much I love you,

will you?

I'll be thinking of you every minute.

All aboard.

- Goodbye.

All aboard.

I'm so afraid with you in New York!

Well, don't you be worried.

I can take care of myself.

But it's such a big town. I'm scared!

Now, don't you worry. Goodbye.

- Take care of yourself and I love you.

- You take care of yourself, too.

- Goodbye.

- Goodbye.

Holy smoke!

Hey.

What do you think you're doing?

I went blind when that train started out.

I just couldn't help it.

And I'm sitting here wondering how

long it's gonna be till I see you again.

- Were you thinking that, Tommy? Honest?

- Sure I was, but look here, Sadie...

I know, but I haven't any more right

back there than you have,

after that row I started in the

dining room. Gee, Mother's so hurt.

- You sure went to the mat for me.

- The things Michael said. I couldn't help it.

Well, look here, Sadie.

What are we going to do?

I don't care, just as long as we're together.

- Sure, but the way things are...

- I don't care if you don't.

There's nothing any place, Tommy,

if I'm not with you,

and I don't care

how tough things are if I am.

You're some girl, Sadie.

There's one thing. In New York,

we can get married right away.

I mean, we don't have to wait

for anything.

Okay, baby, okay.

Will we make that town say uncle?

Look out, New York. Here we come.

And a cup of coffee.

Gee, that looks good.

I wonder how much it costs.

Forty cents. Up a dime since last week.

Tommy, look. Corned beef hash

and poached eggs for 30 cents.

Want it?

Two corned beef hashes. Coffee?

- How much is coffee?

- Five cents.

One coffee.

- I beg your pardon.

- Sure.

- We're strangers here.

- No!

We want to find a place to live

and we don't know where to look.

So you kids thought

you'd go to town, huh?

Well, you got a grip. You can go

to a hotel. Everything will be jake.

Well, we want to find rooms to rent

that don't cost much.

Oh, I got you.

Well, you're talking to an expert.

That's where I live.

Bathroom on every floor,

standing room only Saturday night.

- Well, I guess if it's good enough for you.

- It ain't good enough for me, not near!

Honeymoon?

- Well...

- In a way.

Oh, in a way, huh?

Well, New York will give you a chance

to try it out.

- Go ahead and eat. I'll wait for you.

- Thanks.

If you've lost your marriage certificate,

don't worry.

Very broad-minded, this landlady.
