(4.00 / 1 vote)Cecilia, be careful.
Are you all right?
You`re gonna like this one.
lt`s better than last week`s.
lt`s more romantic.
Miss, l wanted oatmeal
before my scrambled eggs.
Sorry. l`ll get it right away.
l get cereal, too.
And a doughnut.
Cereal and a doughnut. Right.
Listen, there`s a new movie
at the Jewel starting tonight.
l didn`t even get
to see last week`s.
You missed it? lt was wonderful.
l love Jane Froman.
And James Melton
plays a hotel porter...
and then he becomes
a radio singer...
and then an opera singer.
The music was just beautiful.
The one that l liked
is ''Okay, America.''
l saw that twice.
That was great.
When she threatens
to kill Lew Ayres--
l love Lew Ayres` looks.
Do you think he`s married?
Are you crazy?
He`s married to Ginger Rogers.
They got married on a boat
off the island of Catalina.
They live in Beverly Hills
and Hollywood and Spain.
He used to be married
to Lola Lane...
but Ginger`s better for him.
Where`s my toast?
Coming right up. One second.
Ginger used to be
married to Jack--
Let`s go, girls.
Let`s go, Cecilia.
Your sister is slow.
But she`s still learning.
Ladies, there`s a depression on.
A lot of other people
would like this job...
if you can`t handle it.
No, l can handle it.
lt`s OK.
Ginger used to be married
to Jack Culpepper...
who l think took out
Ruth Chatterton before--
That`s the second one this week.
l`m sorry. l`ll pick it all up.
Come on, Cecilia. Shape up.
Hey, Monk, here comes your wife.
Boy, am l glad to see you.
You got any dough?
Tips weren`t
so good today.
Come on, give me something.
l`m busted.
l hear there`s some jobs opening
up over at the ice factory.
No, there`s nothing.
l was there.
Harriet Rufus says
all you guys do all day...
is just pitch pennies...
and make passes at
the girls who walk by.
Harriet Rufus is a douche bag.
Listen, l gotta save the rest
for groceries and stuff.
All right. Got it?
What are you doing here?
You want to go
to the movies tonight?
There`s an early show.
-l can`t.
-How come?
The guys are
coming over tonight.
-Again?
-You don`t like it?
Well, all you do
is drink and play dice...
and l wind up getting smacked.
l gotta get even, don`t l?
l owe everybody in town.
You`re never home anymore
except to play dice and cards.
Meanwhile, l gotta
take in extra laundry...
after work to pay the rent.
What do you want?
Did l close the factory?
You didn`t use
to be like this, Monk.
l got a lot on my mind.
You think l like
scratching around for work...
living like a bum
the last two years?
l don`t know how much longer
l can go on like this.
Listen, the country`ll
get back working again.
Things are bound to get better.
l promise. l`m crazy about you.
You never pay
any attention to me anymore.
Plus, l thought if we could
go to the movies tonight...
you could forget
your troubles a little.
You like sitting
through that junk, OK?
Go to the movie by yourself.
You make passes at
the girls who go by?
You`re not my boss.
And don`t give me that look.
You`d think l was a criminal.
Come on. Give us a hug.
Just one. Come on. All right?
And don`t come home late.
l worry.
All right? See you later?
Let`s go!
Two, please.
Two.
Just one tonight, please, Doris.
Thank you.
-Evening, Mr. Ruskin.
-Nice to see you.
Popcorn, please.
Jason, l`m bored.
l`m bored with cocktail parties
and opening nights...
and evenings at the opera
and weekends at the races.
A few days in Paris
might be just the thing...
to get the creative juices
