That makes it a little different.

I'm not consenting to your wedding...

but I always admire

any young man that can make money.

It shows character.

- That's too kind of you, sir.

- Not at all.

Then Margaret and I can get married?

If you go to New York

and work hard at your business...

and if you are successful...

you can come back here

and ask me for my Margaret.

Oh, Daddy.

And in all probability

I'll be very happy to give her to you.

Right, sir. Thank you, sir.

John, dear.

You'll come back soon, won't you?

That all depends upon the stakes,

the stocks...

Goodbye, my son.

Thank you, father-in-law.

I'll say goodbye again

because we'll both be waiting for you.

Hurry back, dear.

I feel that I'm a little to blame in this.

You know, I didn't realize what a bright,

upstanding young man you were.

And I don't care how big the city,

I feel confident...

you're going to be successful.

Thank you, sir.

Lucky, couldn't I go with you?

I'm afraid you'd try to be

a good influence on me.

No, honest I wouldn't.

I'm terrible bad when you get to know me.

Then I wouldn't want you

to come with me.

One to New York, please.

- Whose money are you using?

- Yours, thank you very much.

But our money belongs to us again.

What's the idea?

Remember our bet?

You see, you didn't get married.

- I'll pay you later.

- No.

All aboard!

- But I've got to get that train.

- You mean you had to get it.

You know,

you didn't win that lucky quarter.

I'll flip you for a ticket to New York.

I don't want to go to New York.

He doesn't want to go to New York.

Goodbye, Lucky, old boy. So long.

- Goodbye, Lucky.

- See you later.

Give my regards to the folks, will you?

Say hello to Aunt Lucy.

So long. Goodbye, Lucky.

Lucky, here's your suitcase.

Here's your toothbrush.

Boy, I'd give my life for a smoke.

- Well, take the quarter.

- No, sir, not the lucky one.

Wait a minute. I'll get a smoke.

I beg your pardon,

have you got a match, please?

Thank you.

How careless of me.

I left my cigarettes at home.

Then you won't need the matches.

I'm afraid that won't work,

unless you have a needle and thread.

Excuse me, have you change for a quarter?

Thank you very much.

You shouldn't have done that just for me.

I could've gotten along without them.

- You hold it.

- All right.

Looks like a jackpot.

Go and get your lucky quarter back, quick.

I beg your pardon.

You probably think I'm silly.

Yes, I'm afraid I do.

Just a moment. That quarter,

I wonder if I could have it back?

This isn't getting you anywhere.

You don't understand.

I'm not trying to get acquainted.

All I want to know is...

It's all my fault, too.
