- Oh, will you get that, Uncle Jed?

- You bet.

Oh, girls, your break... Your break...

Your coffee's here.

Bring the toothbrush glass

when you come.

- All right.

- Will you have some coffee, Uncle Jed?

No, thanks. I just had my breakf...

I just ate.

- Yeah?

- Uncle Jed!

Queenie!

Gosh, what a big girl you are.

- And so beautiful.

- Ain't she, though?

Well, I suppose you've decided

to stay in New York.

Yeah, we're all set.

But thanks for the offer, Uncle Jed.

That's all right.

I'll keep it open for a few days.

- All right.

- Goodbye.

- Oh, goodbye, Uncle Jed.

- Lf you wanna see me, just call me up.

Yeah, all right.

You're in the phone book?

You bet.

I think we're making an awful mistake

not to take that work.

I know what I'm doing.

We stand as big a chance as anybody else.

What did the Duncans have

when they hit Times Square?

"My Patio."

Say, we've got more than the Duncans

ever had.

Well, the Duncans are pretty good too.

Say, what'd we do to them

on the Gus Sun Time?

We knocked them off their seats.

Come in.

- Eddie!

- Hank!

Oh, baby.

Let me have a good look at you.

- Gee, but it's good to see you.

- Oh, boy, is it good to see you! Oh, gee!

That's my Queenie!

- Queenie? You don't mean to tell me it's...

- Sure.

Queenie, all grown up and everything.

Ain't she? That sisterly kiss

won't be so hard to take now.

I'll say it won't.

- Take it big.

- I did.

You were a funny-looking thing

the first time I saw you...

...with those gangly legs and freckles.

But you certainly turned out to be

a beautiful girl.

Well, I'll go get some clothes on.

I'm just crazy about her, Eddie.

She's so young and beautiful.

Of course she is.

Well, Hank, now that you're here,

when are we going to get married?

Oh, not till we've put this act over.

I'm gonna give Queenie a break.

Always doing something

for somebody else.

No wonder I love you.

- I kind of got a weakness for you too.

- Yeah?

Mrs. Eddie Kearns?

Sounds pretty good, doesn't it?

Swell, Eddie.

Yeah, and you can feature

that anytime in the electric lights.

- Gee, still the same sweet kid, ain't you?

- Why, certainly.

Hank, did you pack my new dress

in the trunk?

I'll get it for you in a minute.

Come here, Queenie.

- Gee, I can't get over how she's changed.

- Well, you sure look elegant, Eddie.

- Doesn't he, Hank?

- He's an eyeful.

Three carats.

Platinum.

And here's the payoff.

Look, but don't laugh.

Gold garters!

Oh, Eddie, I always knew

you'd make good.

Yeah, and I ain't forgetting that you're the

little girl that made me come to New York.

Remember when I wanted to quit

and give the whole thing up...
