some nourishing soup.

Minestrone, your favorite.

You didn't have any dinner.

Oh, yeah.

I must be weak from hunger.

We'll be right back.

Come on, Gloria.

Don't-- Don't let the water run over.

You're-- You're talking.

You're alive.

Come to me.

Come close to me.

Oh, no!

What are you doing here?

You can't come in! Please!

Why not?

Well, because my girl's coming right back!

She's very jealous, you know?

She's like a wildcat when she gets angry.

She's 8 feet tall,

and she's got very sharp fingernails.

Silly boy.

What can she do to me?

Well, I don't know,

but she can do plenty to me!

Please go away.

You sound henpecked.

Poor boy.

I'll bet she runs your life

like an assembly line.

And how. Why, even--

Nothing of the sort!

She's sweet!

She's a very nice girl!

Well, I'm a very nice girl.

Oh, please, please, be reasonable,

Miss-- Miss Venus.

I'm not worth bothering about.

I'm not famous. I'm not rich.

I'm not even very bright.

I'm not bright!

In fact, there's insanity in my family,

starting with me tonight!

I'm crazy!

You-- You must have me mixed up

with somebody else.

I'm just a little old good-for-nothing

window trimmer.

You can be anything you want to be.

Can I be alone?

I'll leave, if you'll go with me.

Oh, no.

No, please go away.

My-- My landlady, you know,

she wouldn't understand.

She's-- She's got a rule.

Against me?

No! About girls being with boys.

Why, there's even a law against it!

Is this your landlady?

Oh, no, no, no!

Hello?

Hello, Gloria.

I was just talking about you.

That is... to myself.

I had quite a little chat.

Me and-- and me.

He's talking to himself.

That's bad.

Look, darling, keep calm.

Listen, they're all out of minestrone.

You could have either noodle or spinach.

Noodle or spinach?

- Noodle.

- Spinach.

- Noodle!

- Spinach!

- Noodle!

- Don't bother me!

Who's bothering you?

I'm only trying to help!

What?

What do you mean?

I'd be glad to leave you alone!

- Gloria.

- I heard a woman!

- Not in our room!

- Well, it wasn't the zoo!

Wait a minute.

Wait till I get the package.

Come on, I've had enough of this.

Who-- Who is it?

It's me. I want to come in.

It's my landlady. This way.

Over here.

Oh, that's no good!

Over here!

Mr. Hatch! Mr. Hatch!

One moment, Mrs. Gogarty.

Mr. Hatch!

Open up this very instant!

Coming, Mrs. Gogarty, coming!

Miss Venus? Miss--

Where are you?

Here I am.

She'll never find me here.

Not in here! Quick!

Get out, please!

Hurry! Get behind the screen!

I'm coming in, Mr. Hatch!

Oh, of course,

Mrs. Gogarty, of course!

You've got a woman in this room.

Why, Mrs. Gogarty, what an idea!

Whatever the idea, you know the rules.
