And your heart bobs around like a cork
When you're out
With the belle of Mew Yorh
- There she is.
- Well, what are you all doing here?
- Don't be loitering. Get moving.
- What is the word, men?
- Fight.
- Right.
Oh, Mrs. Hill, I thought you were
in Washington, I didn't know...
- Hello, Angela.
- I finished my work a day earlier.
How was Washington?
Did you see our congressman?
Oh, yes.
And Angela, he was so handsome.
Did you get his consent?
The belle of New York.
A fine title
for somebody in our type of work.
Oh, it's only their way of showing
their love for our welfare house.
Amazing how they've grown to love
our welfare house since you've grown.
Miss Wilkins.
Well, the important thing
is they do come here.
But that look in their eyes.
Not exactly the right kind of look
for men who are seeking guidance...
...you know what I mean?
Yes, I know what you mean.
If it weren't for your parents
who built this welfare house...
...I'd advise you
to choose some other type of career.
Oh, but, Mrs. Hill
this has been my home. 'my life.
And I've tried so hard to equip myself
for this kind of work.
If you ask me, it's your equipment
that's causing all the...
Miss Wilkins.
Something has to be done.
For the time being, I think it'd be
better if Ms. Wilkins sang the solo.
The solo?
But, Mrs. Hill...
Oh, it's not your fault, Angela.
If you were only a little plainer.
- If you don't look so...
- So...?
Well, if you only would look
a little more so-so than so.
- Miss Wilkins, Miss Wilkins.
- Yes, Mrs. Hill?
- Save your song for the meeting.
- Yes.
- You do know the song, don't you?
- Oh, indeed.
And, Mrs. Hill, don't worry.
While I'm singing.
I'll try to look real plain.
Yes, dear.
Angela.
- Angela, Angela, I haven't seen you since...
- Gilfred, please.
Gilfred, you're getting that
moo-cow quality in your voice again.
And that's exactly the thing
I'm trying to discourage.
Good afternoon, gentlemen. Please.
Now, those of you seeking true guidance
may quietly enter.
Flowers for the fairest
flower of them all.
Friends, it's most gratifying
to see so many of you here tonight.
The fact that you have chosen
to spend your time here...
...in these surroundings...
...is proof that you have forsaken
your former hangouts...
...those environments of sin
and temptation.
We are proud
...who have deserted the evil
of wine, women and song...
clean living and hard work.
Yes, men, this is the life.
This is the life.
Friends, it is most gratifying...
...to see many of you here tonight
at my bachelor dinner.
And even though
I'm getting married tomorrow...
...I'll always remember
this old gang of mine.
To you, my best pals.
- Oh, Charlie.
- To you!
- And now, to the bride.
- Oh, yes.
To Dixie "Dead Shot" McCoy.
the bride-to-be.
May she not be left waiting at the church
like the other five who tried to be.
Charlie, how do you get all the women
to fall in love with you?
Yes, Charlie, how do you do it?
Well, it's nothing, really.
I just wait at the stage door
with a bag of peanuts.
Peanuts? What kind?
Just peanuts. Then I present them
to the young lady and I say:
"Here, they're for you.
I only wish they were diamonds. "
Next thing I know, I'm engaged.
- How cute.
- How adorable.
- How nauseating.
- Max.
Charles, I wanna talk to you.
- Oh, no. Don't go.
- Not tonight, Charlie.
- Now, listen, I'm your lawyer, right?
- Right.
- You're my biggest client.
- I'm your only client.
Right. Now, as your lawyer.
