Poor Pidge. He'll starve.

Here, Pidge. Here, Pidgie.

Here, boy.

Don't jump! Don't jump!

Albert, it's all right!

Everything's all right!

Come on back! Don't worry.

Honey, come on.

- Thank heavens I got here in time.

- You almost pushed me out.

It's all right.

I just came from Ed Sullivan's office.

- Sullivan?

- Yes, Ed Sullivan.

Go to work for Sullivan. Leap from the

sinking ship while the house is on fire.

But hear this, Miss DeLeon.

I was loyal.

All the years I employed you, I never

looked for a job behind your back.

- I went to Ed Sullivan's otfice...

- Don't explain.

You owe me nothing,

even though you were molded by me.

- Molded?

- Like Eliza Doolittle from Pygmalion.

- I was molded?

- What were you when I found you?

Hostess at La Casa Enchilada

Taco and Tamale Shop.

Well, sorry I interrupted you.

A man of my ilk

does not commit suicide.

I've had just about enough

of your kind ot ilks too.

Suicide is for cowards.

I don't desert the woman I love.

Oh, Albert, I'm sorry.

- I should have known.

- Mama would never get over it.

Mama?

What's the matter?

I'm the prize dope ot all time...

thinking I could pry you away

from your mama's ever-lovin' tentacles.

I will thank you

to leave my mother out of this.

- Maybe she does influence me slightly.

- Slightly?

- She is old and frail.

- Which I will be, too, at this rate.

I don't blame you.

I was living in fantasy...

telling myself you were serious.

Oh, Rosie, I was.

I am. In here.

I've thought and thought

about marrying you...

every day, a lot of nights too.

I've spent six years

on Project Albert.

Well, now I haven't got the right.

I can't offer you security.

A wonderful girl like you...

you deserve more from a husband

than just personality and good looks.

But I'll always love you, Rosie.

You'd better always

love me, you nut...

because you're stuck with me.
