Well, I meant well

by both of you.

If Cyrus loves me, he'll come to his

senses and straighten himself out.

And if he doesn't, well,

then we just don't belong

together. That's all.

That's certainly a reasonable

way of looking at it.

What's happened between you

two is no business of mine.

I'm only concerned

with one thing.

I know what

you're going to say.

If I leave my baby here,

you'll offer me a settlement.

Is that right?

I knew you were a smart girl.

You're doing the proper thing

in considering the welfare

of your child first.

I know it.

That's why

I'm taking him with me.

You will do as I say,

if you know

what's good for you.

Of course, you know

there are legal means

by which Mr. Barrett may

obtain custody of the child.

I'm warning you, you better

accept the settlement.

I've supported myself

before, I can do it again.

You've no right

to deprive that child

of the things

that I can give it!

There's one thing

you've forgotten.

I happen to be

the child's mother.

And I think

she's absolutely right.

Who are you?

I'm Denny Martin,

Postal Union.

What do you want?

Well, I have a personal

greeting for you, sir.

Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday, dear Father

Happy birthday to you

Signed, "Your loving son."

Get out of here!

Okay.

But I still think she's right.

Go on! Get out of here!

Oh, I'm going.

I can take a hint.

Get out of here!

Hello?

Hello.

Who is it?

Nicky.

What do you want?

Orange juice, ham and eggs,

toast and coffee.

Okay.

Hello?

Hello, sleepyhead,

this is the bride.

Hello there,

earlier than me.

I'm down

at the corner grocery store.

Is there anything special

you and your little roommate would

like for our wedding breakfast?

Look, honey, why don't you

surprise us this morning?

All right,

I'll surprise you.

Now you put the coffee on,

I'll be right up.

It's practically boiling.

Hurry up now.

Okay.

Come on, tovarich, get off that

cloud, this is my wedding day.

Come on!

My horse wins

and pays 50 to 1,

and before I can collect

the money you wake me up.

What's the difference? You'd have

lost it back on the next race anyway.

That's the trouble with you, your

dream horses are all nightmares.

Nice looking pair of pajamas

for a best man.

Say, what are you

beefing about?

Since when does the best man

have to wear fancy pajamas?

The very idea. Best man.

That's silly anyhow.

If the best man

is the best man,

why does the bride

marry the groom?

Hey, you been drinking

my hair tonic again?

You lovely little scallions.

Someday you'll grow up

to be big, strong onions.

Denny, my garden

is getting beautiful.

I love gardening.

There's nothing like
