What do you say, kid?

Are we moving in?

How many times

do you want me to say yes?

Every time you say it

is like the first time.

My heart starts beating

like I just ran around the block.

Those slippery rugs are out.

A guy could break his neck on those.

Mr. Wilson, do you plan

doing a lot of running around?

Yeah, after you.

- The rugs are out.

- And the twin beds too.

Out like a light.

Hey, I like peanuts too.

- I thought you hated them.

- I did once.

What changed your mind?

I love you. You love peanuts.

I love peanuts too.

Well, I guess that wins.

It's raining.

Gee, it feels swell

against your face.

Tonight of all nights it's gotta rain.

Don't talk about it.

What am I gonna do

after you've gone?

Joe.

I'll be walking like this

down a street.

- Where are you?

- I'll be here.

Twenty cents.

- How do you like that?

- Oh, dear.

Here, give me.

Don't.

What are you gonna do?

Oh, here it is.

- Come on, I'll sew it.

- Here? No, no.

- You'll let it go. I know.

- Honest, I won't.

- You know you will.

- No, I'll sew it myself.

- I won't forget it, darling.

- Sit down.

Sit down.

There's a lot of people around.

Joe.

I've only got blue thread.

- Blue?

- Yep. Blue.

Train number 19 leaving for De Kalb.

- There. You hear? That's your train.

- That's not my train. Sit down.

- I'm hard to get rid of.

- Like my right arm.

Only I need you more.

Oh, Kat.

I'll come for you as soon

as I get that old bank account...

...up to the third floor

and a kitchenette.

This waiting is awful.

After all, we're human.

Why can't you stay

with your job here?

- At least we...

- We've been through that, darling.

There's a better job there,

and I'll be saving for us too.

I know.

Train number 27 leaving

for Galesburg and all points west.

- Give me some of those peanuts too.

- Yes, sir.

- How much for that "smellum"?

- That one there?

Take it easy on yourself now.

Four dollars.

Not for me, wise guy.

It's for a girl. How much?

Five even.

I got you a little mementum.

"Memento," darling. "To," not "tum."

How often have I told you?

It's from wearing braces on my teeth

when I was a kid.

You're still a kid. A lot of you is...

...and I love it.

I love you.

I got a memento for you too.

Look inside.

"Henry to Katherine."

It was my mother's wedding ring.

I was named after her.

So I...

- Turn it around.

- "Katherine to Joe."

Oh, Kat...

I guess I'll have to wear it

on my little finger.

All aboard!

I'll come for you soon.

Soon, Joe.

Soon.

Hello, stranger.

Think you're smart, don't you?

How do you like this, big shot?

How's that?

You look the way I feel.

Lonely and small.

Come on.

Quiet.

That Charlie,

always leaving the light on.

Straight ahead.

- Charlie, now, I'm all right.

- Yeah, I know, I know.

Come on, hold it now. Hold it.

- Charlie, where'd you get the dog?

- There's no dog. You're drunk.

- So you went to a movie?

- Hello, Joe.

- Katherine get away all right?

- Yeah.

That's fine. I'm fine too.

I feel awful.

Now, listen, Charlie...

We had a couple drinks

after the show.

Kid's gotta have fun.

He just can't take it.

Who said I can't take it?

- I'm all right.

- All right, Tommy. Sure you are.

- All right, kid.

- Even Mr. Donelli said I was all right.

- Donelli?

- All right. I've been waiting for it.

Waiting for an undertaker or cops,

the life you're leading.

Running errands for that racketeer.

Let me tell you, Charlie,

leave Tom out of it.

Joe, I know, I know.

We met Donelli,

and he invited us up for drinks.

Better Tom meets someone

who can do him some good.

Do him some good?

I'm glad Mom and Dad aren't here

to see the good you're doing yourself.

Can that Sunday-school talk.

Think I'm gonna ride to heaven

on 30 a week from a sweatshop?

Be a working stiff all my life,

like you?

- Times have changed.

- You bet times have changed.

The people are against

you monkeys now.

The people ain't doing so good either.

I don't know what's so hot about you.

Crazy in love with a swell gal

and can't make enough to get married.

- Leave Katherine out of it!

- Leave me out. Stop living my life.

I wouldn't live your life

for all the money in the world.

Okay, Reverend. Okay.

"Memento," darling. "Memento."

Soon.

Come in.

It's a special delivery

this time, Miss Grant.

- I hope nothing's happened.

- Oh, no.

They come faster than when I was a girl,

but I guess the insides don't change.

- He's coming, Mrs. Whipple!

- No.

Wedding, marriage license.

He's bought a car.

Look.

- Be sure and kiss Katherine for me.

- Happy landings, fella.

Don't let the Indians

get you out there.

You keep your chin clean.

Look after the kid.

You can trust me.

Rainbow, take care of Joe.

- Goodbye, boys.

- So long, Joe.

- Is there gas in it? Bye-bye.

- All right.

War and crime.

Strikes, taxes.

And some weenies for his dog

and an avocado for him.

They call them alligator pears back East,

cost a fortune. Think he'll like them?

He won't know what he's eating

for being with you again.

What time will I make lunch for?

I'm leaving for Sycamore Corners

by bus on the main road.

I wrote him to meet me there

at 11:
00 at that hot dog stand.

We'll be back by noon sure.

Golly, Mrs. Whipple,

I can hardly stand it.

Over a year now.

Stop your motor, buddy.

Get both hands up

on that wheel there.

What is this, a holdup?
