I can't believe it. I'm married
six years and I'm still happy.
You're lucky. I think
Louise is cheating on me.
We're not cheating.
We're just good friends.
- Look, he's worried.
- He's joking!
Wait a minute.
Pull the cab over.
- This ain't the address.
- Be quiet!
Sammy! Tony!
Who's that singing?
- Sounds like Vicki.
- That is Vicki.
We'll get off here, cabbie.
George, pay the man.
- What!
- $1.80.
$ 1.80?
Your meter broken?
Fellas.
- It's her.
- Would you look at that?
It's her.
Here in your arms
I'm wealthy tonight
When youth has its fling
Love is the thing
We can...
Walk among the flowers
They were the unhappiest
couple I ever knew.
And the happiest.
they would have made it.
Love for you and me
Vicki and Charley.
Now there's a story.
I never told you this?
I'm sure I told you.
I'm gonna tell you the story,
and you're gonna think I'm making it up.
But I swear this is
exactly how it happened.
It all started on a warm
June night, 1948.
My friend, Charley Pearl, had
just announced his engagement...
to the daughter of the most
important producer in Hollywood.
Now, for a struggling
comic like myself...
this was a rare chance to get into
a big-time Hollywood mansion...
for which I otherwise
would've had no chance at all.
For Charley it was the beginning
of the biggest roller coaster ride...
in the history
of modern romance.
Adele Horner was
a new type dame for Charley.
She had class, education.
Nice girl.
You're the only woman
in the world for me, Adele.
In the whole world?
In as many worlds as they got.
But me and the guys couldn't get
Here he is,
a good-looking guy...
the family toothpaste business.
To small-time
bachelors like us...
Charley Pearl was a god.
Five feet from
where we're sitting...
there are three directors
I would sell my mother to meet.
- You sold your mother last year.
- They returned her.
Don't ever be funnier
than me, sweetheart.
He's not in love with her.
I'll tell you that.
How do you know?
Well, he might love her.
But he's not hot for her.
So the hors d'oeuvres are hot.
Isn't that enough?
Why's he marrying her?
It's not as ifhe needs money.
She doesn't need his,
so I trust her.
For Charley that's
a hard thing to find.
Charley, let's not get
married unless it's forever.
I'm spoiled rotten.
And I wouldn't know how
to handle disappointment.
Every woman
I have ever been with...
has made her living
from disappointments.
I need somebody good and
solid to keep me in check.
I'll hold you to that, Charley.
I'll never let you out
of my sight.
Bite my mouth.
Go on.
Bite it hard.
No, Charley.
I don't want to hurt you.
You don't get it, Adele.
I like it when it hurts.
Ahem.
I'm sorry to intrude.
But your father...
would like a few moments
with Mr. Pearl.
Don't look so worried.
He already said yes.
He's been known
to change his mind.
It's too late.
I already made up mine.
Sit down, Charley.
Thank you, sir.
- Cigar?
- No, thank you.
- Brandy?
- Not for me.
Is it true you don't
smoke or drink?
Stains the teeth.
That's what my father taught me.
Makes you look impressive.
That's what my father taught me.
No vices at all, Charley?
Oh sure. All the ones
that don't stain the teeth.
Well, you got nice teeth.
How would you
characterize yourself?
As a playboy?
I prefer the word
"sportsman."
You don't give a damn
about impressing me...
- do you, Charley?
- I'm trying like hell to make
