Years later, the apparent perfect marriage of Ted and Jerry falls apart from infidelity on both sides. Inwardly unhappy, popular Jerry lives a party life while Ted sinks into a life of alcoholism. Jerry then runs into Paul, who still loves her. After spending time together with Jerry, Paul plans to divorce Dorothy.

As though I didn't think of you

every second

of every minute, of every hour,

of every day.

You darling.

- Gee, that's slick.

- You really like it, darling, huh?

I'm glad.

Did I ever happen to mention

what a wonderful girl I think you are?

Well, not for a long time.

I'd like to make love to you

till you scream for help.

Can't scream.

Three whole years

and I love you more than ever.

That goes double, sweetheart.

And every anniversary is going to be

just that much better.

Mmm.

How long are you going to be gone?

Well, not any longer

than I can help, sweetheart.

But I'm afraid it'll spoil a week.

Oh.

I'll miss you like the mischief.

Ah.

A New York nightingale.

No romance complete without one.

Come on, you're going upstairs.

Where do I go, upstairs?

Yeah, up the stairs.

Thanks, you're too much.

Oh, what a nice baby.

Sure, I go upstairs. Come on, baby.

I'm gonna take you upstairs.

We'll make a nice time.

Ladies and gentlemen,

make way for the wild and wicked wop.

Thrills the ladies for nothing at all.

From the old country.

What a man! He eats them alive.

Hello, Jerry. How are you?

Don!

I love everybody.

I am the great big lover.

You don't know what...

Oh, what a grand, beautiful baby.

Oh, hi!

All my life I look

for such a beautiful bambina.

Hey, you bust up my big moment.

What's the matter you?

Come to me, I am the great,

big, Italian lover.

Stop it, now I'm ticklish.

Come to my arms, kiddo.

Come to my arms.

Say, I come all to pieces.

What's a matter you?

- Well, you can quit right now.

- Is that so?

When he was a child...

Oh, my dear, I'm so sorry.

I forgot all about you. This is Janice.

- I don't know your last name.

- Meredith.

Mrs. Dickson Meredith.

- Oh, how do you do, Mrs. Meredith?

- Just a floating grass widow.

Floats them and gets them.

Oh, please.

We found her in a little restaurant

where we stopped off.

She said she knew Ted and was lonesome,

so we brought her along.

Hello, Ted.

Hello, Janice.

Well, she does seem to know you.

You know Bill, Jerry.

Oh, hello, Bill.

You know Bill Baldwin.

- I've heard of him.

- How are you?

He owns Arkansas and Texas.

No, no, wait. Only Arkansas.

Listen, everybody.

Silence in the court, please. I rap for order.

Oh, what a cranium.

I wish to announce on this

happy occasion... How's that?

I can't tell yet.

Because of the excellent example

set by our young friends here,

I shall, one week from today,

go tripping and blushing up the aisle

with a gentleman from Arkansas.

Nice work, Bill. Congratulations.

- And me, too.

- Much obliged.

That's all right.

Well, if we're going anywhere,

let's get under way.
