Make Way for Tomorrow Page #4

I guess I'm not much help around here.

Oh, Mother C!

- I could make the sandwiches, couldn't I?

- They're coming from the delicatessen.

- It's cheaper to make 'em at home.

- I know.

But we couldn't do so well.

These are going to be fancy.

How fancy can a sandwich be?

You'll see.

Any bid made subsequently

to an opponent's bid

is known as an overcall or a defensive bid.

An overcall may be made with

a much weaker hand than an original bid,

a fact which the partner must bear in mind.

As a rule, it is inadvisable to make

an overcall on two of a four-card suit...

...or to overcall with a no-trump bid

without a double-stopper in the suit

bid by the opponent.

It requires more strength...

I know you'll forgive me

if I interrupt myself for a moment,

but I do so want you all

to meet my husband's mother.

How do you do?

Well, um... anyway...

suppose we, um... play the hands?

Uh... suppose we play them.

- I'll bid one spade.

- One spade.

- One spade.

- Two hearts.

She didn't show up, so I'm playing this.

Three spades.

Do you play cards?

Well, it's, uh... it's funny,

but, you know, with a teacher

right here in the family,

I don't believe

I could ever learn to play bridge.

Well, maybe a little hearts.

I used to play a lot with my husband.

I always gave him the Queen of Spades.

We called her Dirty Dora.

Say, by the way, that's a good heart hand.

And you haven't got Dora.

Let's see who has.

Oh! You!

Honey, you're going to the movies

alone tonight, aren't you?

- Well, aren't you?

- Uh-huh.

If you love me,

if I've ever done anything for you

that you appreciated even a little bit,

for heaven's sake,

take your grandmother with you.

Oh, that's no fair. And anyway,

she likes the company here.

Well, maybe I can fix that.

Mother C, Rhoda's set on going

to the pictures tonight.

Do you think it's all right

if she goes alone?

- Oh, I should say not.

- That's what I thought.

Would you go with her? Or would that

be too much of a responsibility?

Why, anything I can do to help you,

dear, I'll be glad.

What a load off my mind!

Will you tell Rhoda?

- Why, certainly.

- Thank you, dear.

Can you give me a rough idea

of what the picture's about?

Yeah. It's the old gag about the guy that

takes the blame for a job his pal done.

The pal's a rat

and lets the nice guy go to the pen.

But when he's dyin', the rat confesses

and the boy and girl wind up...

- Well, is it sad in any place?

- Some of 'em cry when his dog dies.

- Thanks!

- There's a newsreel and "Betty Boop".

Oh. There you are.

- It was a good show, wasn't it?

- Yes.

I liked the boy very much. Didn't you?

Why, I don't know. I only caught a swift
