Pride of the Marines Page #4

If you stop, i walk.

I guess i was wrong

about my left rear.

Is that your date

waiting for you in front of your house?

Yes, it is.

Hey, what's the idea?

What's the matter?

Didn't you see my car?

See it? I hit it, didn't i?

Who are you?

Al schmid. You want to

make something of it?

Don't stay out too late,

sweetheart.

I'll be back at 10:30.

What makes men

do such crazy things?

Women!

Uncle ralph!

Is that the doorbell?

Uncle ralph!

Uncle ralph!

It's 10:
30, sweetheart.

Happy birthday tomorrow.

Can i interest you in

a whirlwind courtship?

Say, any loose

bowling balls around here?

Uh-uh. Don't say it.

What girl wants to

stay home on the night before her birthday?

You don't have to

worry about me.

I've got plenty

of boyfriends.

Then i'll start at

the bottom of the list

and work myself up

to number one man.

You start going with me,

and you're liable to get hooked.

Stop throwing that hook

at me, will you?

After tonight,

if you still don't want any part of me,

i'll... i'll leave

philadelphia.

I'm going to bed.

How about celebrating

your birthday tomorrow

with me

and something special,

like going

to the fights?

Save that

for your birthday.

Ice hockey?

Roller skating?

Oh, i get it.

You either want

to exercise or see other people exercise.

Oh, don't get me

wrong, ruth.

I'll do anything

you say.

Like going hunting?

Believe me, ruthie,

there's nothing like it

when the weather

is cool and crisp

and frost is in the air.

You're glad to be alive,

and, oh, it feels good

to smell those autumn leaves burning.

You can hear

the coon dogs running.

Honest, it's great.

Hi, ruth!

Coffee perkin'?

It's on the fire.

If it gets cold again,

why, we'll keep warm.

We've got plenty

of wood.

Boy, when i get out in

the country like this,

i don't know why i ever

came back to the city.

Why did you?

After my ma died,

my old man got married again, see,

so i hit the road.

Where's the corn?

Right there.

I was just a kid,

but i could take it.

How old were you when

you started to work?

That's kind of young

to be on your own, isn't it?

How about you?

Oh, i like it.

I like to live

independent.

Even if the money

ain't much.

At the end of that year

i saved 8 bucks.

Right now

i'm sitting pretty.

S burner

at the foundry.

Making 40 bucks a week,

trying hard

to spend it all.

You want to help me

spend it?

Easy come, easy go, hmm?

Easy come nothing.

It's hard work.

What's the use of making

dough if you can't have any fun out of it?

You might save some

for a rainy day.

What rainy day?

Ain't gonna be any.

I got it all arranged.

Every day is gonna be

sunday in summer.
