Make Way for Tomorrow Page #5

glimpse of him as you got out of his car.

As I got...

Oh. You saw me.

Mm.

Are you gonna tell?

Are you gonna do it again?

Uh-uh. Are you gonna tell?

No.

- Oh, here's your mother.

- Oh! Hello, Mother.

- Hello.

- Like the picture?

- Oh, it was fine.

- Uh-huh.

A little sad in places,

but it had a happy ending.

Uh, a young man was taking the blame

for his friend,

who wasn't a very strong character.

But the girl believed in the young man.

The nice young man, I mean.

And you know,

no matter how black things looked...

I guess I shouldn't be telling you this,

'cause it might spoil the picture for you.

Oh, I guess I should go to bed.

It must be after 11.

- What time do you got?

- Why, I have only 10.30.

Oh. Well, then, I can stay a little while.

Excuse me, please.

Hello.

Oh, hello, Father C. Just a minute.

I forgot. He called while you were out.

Hello? Is that you, Bark?

This is Lucy, Bark!

How are ya? I say, how are ya?

Well, I was worried about you.

Why didn't you write?

You ought to write. You know I worry.

Oh, I'm fine.

I got some friends in tonight, playing cards.

Oh, some lovely people, Bark.

How's Cora?

How are the children?

Really? Well, how's Bill?

Well, how are you, Bark?

You know what I mean.

How is everything?

Oh, of course, of course.

But three months isn't so long, Bark.

Bark, it's getting cool now.

Don't go out without your coat.

And if it rains, don't go out at all.

Oh, I'm... I'm happy as a lark.

Course, I... I miss you, Bark.

That's the only trouble.

I know you do.

Uh... don't forget what I told ya.

We'll soon be together for always.

And you won't worry, will ya?

And please take care of yourself.

Uh... it's been good

to hear your voice, Bark.

Must have cost you a lot to call me.

Well, that's...

that's a lot.

You could have bought yourself a...

a good, warm scarf for that.

All right, Bark.

Goodbye, Bark.

Goodbye...

my dear.

I guess I'll go to bed,

if you'll all excuse me.

I'm tired.

- Good night, everybody.

- Good night.

Good night, Mother.

Sorry. Very sorry, Mrs Carr.

Ah, how are you today, Mr Cooper?

I'll be with you in a minute.

And then when you order the paper

by the week, Mrs Carr,

I save it for you no matter

how many people are asking for it,

and that way there are

no disappointments.

All right. Shall I pay weekly or monthly?

Well, if you are honest by the week,

I guess you can be honest by the month too.

- So we'll make it by the week.

- All right.

Saved the paper for you,

all right, Mr Cooper.

Yeah? Well, I can't read it.

I broke my glasses again.

Oh!

What did Cora say this time?

You should have heard her. Or maybe

you did. She hollered loud enough.
