Mrs. Craney! Oh, Mrs. Craney!

Well, what do you want?

- Coming up with Romeo and Juliet.

Customers.

A couple of friends of mine from...

- Where?

- Richley, New York.

- Richley, New York. Mr. And Mrs...

- Wallace.

- Mrs. Craney.

- How do you do?

I don't allow dogs, cooking

or laundry in the bathtub.

Anything else you want to do is all right.

I'll be seeing you.

Right this way.

Now, this is one of my very nicest rooms,

and I could let you have it for $9 a week.

Well, you see,

it isn't exactly what we're looking for.

Well, of course, if you were able

to pay me a week at a time in advance,

I could do a little bit better by you.

- Could you leave us alone for a minute?

- Tommy, what's the use?

Well, I'm sure I don't see

what there is to talk about.

My deluxe room and I'm offering it

to you for $7 a week,

and $7 a week

is only 50 cents a day apiece.

And she certainly looks worth it to me.

Say, I've been thinking this over.

You know, it's late

and it's a tough night out,

and we don't know where to look.

But, Tommy, one room and one...

Well, you can sleep here tonight

and tomorrow night

everything'll be all right.

- But what about you tonight?

- I'll find someplace.

Well, it's all right, isn't it?

Sure, I guess I could go along with you

to see that you get along all right.

I can take care of myself.

I know that, but, darling,

you're just not very lucky.

Tommy, how much money have we got?

We gotta be practical, you know.

Let's see.

There's 10, 15, 16, 17...

$17.45.

Well, then, that's $7 here

and $2 for our marriage license,

$9...

That only leaves $8 to start life on.

Do you wish you were home safe

in Richley?

No, but I don't want to start in by making

things tougher than they have to be.

Tommy, don't.

We've got to tell the old lady

what we're gonna do.

If we don't call her in pretty soon,

we'll have to pay rent.

- I know what I'll do.

- What?

I'll sleep in the chair.

Yeah, and by daylight you'd hate me

because I was comfortable.

Well?

- Well?

- We can only pay $6, that's all.

$6? $6? 6...

Well, of course, in these times,

$6 is $6, isn't it?

- Good night, children.

- Good night.

Good luck.

Don't get worried.

I'm gonna sleep in the chair.

Yeah, you go to bed.

I'll sing you to sleep.

Good night.

- Good night, baby.

- Good night.

Who's that knocking at my door?

- I'm on my way, darling.

- What's your hurry?

Well, the man wants to give me a job

and he says call before 9:00.

J.P. Morgan wants to see me at 10:00, too.

Don't forget, city hall at 12:00.

Oh, we're gonna be married today, hurray

- Goodbye, darling.

- Goodbye.

Good morning.

I guess it's morning, all right,
