The Marrying Kind Page #2

and quite a lot of furniture.

In fact, the bedroom was nearly completed.

Not that we ever used it much,

with his crazy job and the crazy hours.

Wouldn't exactly call

the Post Office Department crazy.

I remember the first morning at 5:45...

- Ringing.

- What?

It's ringing.

I just shut it off.

- Well, I hear it.

- I just shut it off.

What time is it?

Go to sleep, honey.

Gotta get up.

No, you don't.

- Gotta.

- Why?

I wanna be a good wife.

You can be a good wife later,

when I come home.

- Breakfast?

- I'll grab something. Automat.

You think so?

But look, you don't want to sleep too late...

'cause isn't this the day

they're coming over?

- Who over?

- The luncheon.

- Joan and your mother and my sister?

- Holy smoke, I think so.

- So get up sometime, huh, baby?

- That's right.

Get up sometime, but not 6:00.

Well, look who's here!

Hey, what do you know!

Why, you don't look more

than 10 years older!

Hey, look at the potbelly already!

I told you to watch out

for that home cooking.

Nothing so disgusting

as good, plain, home cooking.

Okay!

Oh, I wish I was single again

I wish I was single again

For when I was single,

my pockets would jingle

I wish I was single again

I married a wife, oh then

A guy gets married,

all his friends turn comedians.

- What is that?

- Hey, touchy, too!

Naturally, from all that loving,

honoring and obeying.

We heard that old saying about:

"Two can live as cheap as one,"

providing one don't eat.

All right, come on, fellows!

- Come on.

- Let's do it.

All kidding aside,

we got a little thing here for you.

- It's not much, but...

- Listen, you didn't have to!

Something you'll be able to use

every night when you go home.

Here you are, Chet. From everybody here.

Thanks, fellows, very much.

What are these?

Ear stoppers! You never use them?

You're gonna need them now, boy.

Look, you just stick them in, just like that,

and you got peace.

It's the only way you'll ever get it now.

Go on, Benny, come on.

Just a gag, Chet. Here's the present.

You don't have to open it.

It's a wallet, genuine alligator,

and it cost plenty, too.

There she is!

- Mama!

- Well, here I am.

You're the first company

in this whole apartment.

Isn't it beautiful?

Well, now I got two married daughters

with two homes.

Well, Joan's is gorgeous.

But isn't this something?

Of course, you realize it isn't finished yet.

The bedroom, you want to look in?

What's this? Modern?

Beds are delivered next week.

Can't hurt yourself falling out of bed

or anything.

Yeah, you could tripping over.

Well, it's kind of transient looking,

but lovely.

We're gonna have two bureaus. Unpainted.

Chet's very handy with a paint brush.
