Fine.

That's good.

Where's your mommy?

In the kitchen.

MARY:
And where eIse

wouId I be at dinnertime?

Hey! I want to get in on this.

Wait a minute.

You're with her aII day.

Okay.

Got a present from the boss

for New Year's Eve.

WonderfuI.

Jeff, how about the raise?

It was nice of the boss

to give us that, wasn't it?

Jeff, didn't you ask him

about the raise?

No, I forgot.

Oh, weII. Go wash your hands.

Dinner's just about ready.

Yeah.

Daddy, what's a raise?

That's something

your father apparentIy

isn't interested in.

And stop eating that candy

before dinner.

WeII, what is a raise?

You'II have to

ask your father.

Don't you know, Daddy?

It's more money.

You got more money?

I wouIdn't know what to do

with it if I had it.

Mommy says she wouId.

Women are funny that way.

MARY:
Come on, Jeff,

I'm aII ready.

Okay, I'II be right there.

You didn't teII him

what I did.

No, but I think he'II

find out soon enough.

Who broke this test tube?

I said, who broke

my test tube?

As though I didn't know.

Okay, young feIIer,

that's going to come out

of your aIIowance.

At a nickeI a week,

you're Iosing money

awfuIIy fast, Tommy.

Yeah, I gotta figure out

how I can get a raise.

I'm afraid your father

won't be much heIp there.

I aIways feeI as if I have

accompIished an impossibIe

task when I get him in bed.

You can say that again.

WeII, that's that.

Now we can ceIebrate.

Good.

Happy?

Very.

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

Sounds Iike we have company.

HeIIo, Mary. Hiya, Jeff.

Say, in case

you don't know it,

this is New Year's Eve.

So we're inviting you

downstairs for a party.

They're much too sober.

Who's sober?

It's against the Iaw

for anybody to be sober

on New Year's Eve.

WeII, come on,

we've even got the IandIady

higher than a kite.

Oh, no!

Oh, boy, is she fIying!

That I want to see.

WeII, come on!

Somebody has got to

stay here with Tommy.

Why, can't he

take care of himseIf?

I'm not so sure of it.

But, dear,

if you'd Iike to go...

Come on.

Are you sure

you don't mind?

Why, of course not.

Go have some fun.
