than the others collected.

- I better go and see that she gets a cab.

- You stay!

- Others? What others?

- I'll go and ask her.

One moment, you worm.

I might have known.

All these checks I've written

to Charles, five of them.

Supposedly for his pet charities.

Well, I'm through being charitable

to everyone he pets.

You find him

or I'll never give him another cent.

Not another cent?

Why, you'll ruin me.

Oh, get out. Go on, get out!

And for you, young man...

...you can just wipe that smile

off your face.

Let a little love come in

Oh, let a little love

Let a little love

Let a little love come in

Bless you, brother.

Say, aren't you...? Say, wait a minute.

Hello, beautiful.

Oh, I'm sorry.

He's sorry.

- What can I do for you?

- I'm looking for Miss Bonfils.

- She's upstairs.

- Thank you.

Wait a minute, aren't you the fella...?

And you, you're the young lady

who was singing.

- Yes.

- Divine.

Divine?

Come in.

- Good morning, Miss Bonfils.

- Good morning.

What on earth are you doing up there?

I can't help it. You affect me this way.

- Me?

- You know, what you said.

This is it, I'm in love.

Oh, but that's ridiculous.

You're only supposed to feel that way.

You don't actually...

When I go, I go all the way.

Well, if there's one thing I despise.

it's a showoff.

Well, what did you want?

I want to reform.

Turn over a new leaf.

- I doubt whether I can help.

- Oh, but you can.

You've influenced my life already.

Why, do you know

what I did this morning?

Don't tell me you went to church.

Oh, no, I stayed away from one.

Well, it's certainly not my intention

to influence people in that manner.

I'll explain the whole thing...

...when we get to know each other better.

And I have no intention

of influencing you like that, either.

Yes, Elsie?

- Angela... Oh, hello.

- Hello.

Oh, Angela, I finished the posters.

Oh, and here's the list, Elsie.

Well...

Now, I have work to do.

And I'll appreciate it

if you will kindly leave the premises.

But I belong here.

I'm one of your stray lambs.

A little lost sheep.

"Little lost sheep. "

Oh, please. You can't turn me away.

Why, everyone deserves a chance.

How do you know I'm not sincere?

People can be wrong sometimes.

You mustn't be biased or prejudiced.

Miss Bonfils.

Just because a man is more "uptrodden"

than downtrodden...

...is no reason to suspect his motives.

Frankly, it's the uptrodden

who need the saving these days.

- You've got a point there.

- Then you'll give me a chance?

You'll never regret it.

- I wonder.

- Oh, come on.

Where do we start?

Who will I save first?

- You.

- Me?

Couldn't we start with something easier
