Thank you.

Please let him come to our house

tomorrow night for supper.

Vic and Martha are going to be there

and some of the other girls and boys.

And Mr Burnside will want to see

the boy who saved Martha's life.

It's just for children, you know.

Sure. I'll come, ma'am.

He can't.

He has somewhere else to go.

But Mom .. Shut up.

We've never been good enough for

you up until now, Mrs Burnside.

Because of your money, I suppose.

Mrs Vendig.

Not good enough, indeed.

I'll have you know that before

my marriage I was a Woodruff.

A maid.

If that means anything to you.

That's no way to talk, Ma.

Mrs Burnside don't mean

anything like what you think.

Thank you, Horace.

I know you understand.

Goodbye, Mrs Vendig.

I'll try to come, Mrs Burnside.

Horace.

Come here.

Hello, I was just coming to see you.

Say, you ought to have been

with me when I took Martha home.

You ought to have heard Mrs Burnside

when we told her what you'd done.

Ah, drop it.

What's the matter?

Nothing.

Where you going?

Waterfront.

What for?

Not to see your old man?

Yep.

Oh boy.

Can I come with you, Horace?

If you want to.

Hello Miss Bella.

Hello.

"Howard" ain't it?

No, ma'am, it's "Horace".

And this is my friend, Vic.

Good evening.

Is my father in?

Your mother never sends you here.

No. I came myself.

I thought she said that you was never so

much as to set eyes or your Dad again?

I got a right to see my own father.

Well, he ain't in.

If you came after anything,

you may as well skiddoo.

Take a look around.

See the business we're doing.

Well, look .. look who's here.

Horace, my boy.

Hi, Bella.

High time you got back.

Did you lose your shirt again?

Never mind if I win or I lose.

It's my lucky day when

my boy comes here.

Well, well, Horace.

Hello, Pa.

I see you've grown, eh?

And you've brought

a friend. How are you?

Pleased to meet you, sir.

Well, I'll bet you've

got an appetite, eh?

Both of you.

Light up, Bella. Let's make

the place look cheerful.

Now boys, what will you have?

Chowder? Chicken lobster?

The best of everything, eh.

Today I struck it rich. Order up, huh.

No thanks, Pa.

I just came to see you.

I've already had supper, thank you.

And your mother?

Does she know you've come?

Oh, no.

Only, I .. I wanted to.

You miss you father, eh?

That's nice.

I'm glad to see my boy's

got a nice friend like you.

Thanks, Mr Vendig.

We've been friends ever since

Horace came to the school.

Oh, that's fine.

How's it coming, son?

Alright, I guess.

You have .. you have fun there?

Play games? You go to parties?

I could, only ..

It's like that, is it?

Is that the best you got?

It don't matter.
