that maybe someday...

You can only think that

if you had it to do over again,

how much closer

you could have been.

It's a feeling everyone has. No, I'm sure

I could have been a better son to him.

I'm so sorry.

There's a Miss Pennington

on the phone for you, sir.

Oh, excuse me.

- Hello, Gloria.

- Hello,John. Mother and I were out buying clothes.

I'm sorry we had to pick

just the time you called.

My father wanted to see you.

No, no, don't bother.

It's a little too late.

John, is he...

Oh, thank heaven!

Don't you want us to come?

No, you try and rest.

I'll call you in the morning.

All right, darling.

Be brave. Good-bye.

He's sinking.

Oh, yes.

I want to thank you

for what you did for me.

That's all right. I wish

I knew how to repay you.

Well...

Yes?

Nothing.

I'm glad I was able to help.

Good-bye.

Good-bye.

Miss!

I offered you money for this,

didn't I?

How much was it?

Well, you said $50.

You'll have to forgive me. I'm

not thinking very clearly tonight.

I really shouldn't

take money for this.

It just happens I can use it.

I've been wanting

to go back home.

I haven't seen my folks

for two years.

Most of the money I make

goes for my lessons, and...

This'll do it. I can get the

first train in the morning.

Where are you from?

Shelbyville, Ohio.

I see. It was a very nice thing

you did tonight.

I want to thank you again.

I... I appreciate this too.

Oh, that's all right.

Have you seen him?

What happened? How is he?

I'm from the New York Press. Is the old

man... I mean, Mr. Reynolds... dead yet?

I... I don't think so.

I don't know. I...

What?

I'm hungry.

Why,Jonathan, how do you feel? Hungry.

Good morning, Dad.

Hello,Johnny.

Why, you look just fine.

I want my breakfast.

Uh, nurse! Nurse!

Make a nice, thin slice

of white toast.

Put it in a bowl with

two inches of lukewarm milk.

Are you feeding the cat

in here? Now,Jonathan.

I want a steak. And a cigar.

- Don't be hasty.

- Who's hasty? I'm hungry!

- But you're a very sick man.

- Now, you just lie back and rest.

In a minute, you're going to

have a bowl of nice, warm toastie.

I want some nice, hot steakie!

- You can have some heavier foodsie later.

- Quack.

Where's Gloria?

She's still at the hote...

Oh.

I- I-I don't know...

where... where she...

Well, call her.

She can have breakfast with me.

Breakfast.

No, I don't think so.

She's had a pretty long, uh,journey.

She's, uh, probably still in the ba...

Get her on the phone.

I'll talk to her.

No, that's not necessary. I'll...

I'll, uh, get her while you're eating.

Or maybe you'd rather

see her later.

I want to see her now.

Want to see her now. Yes.
