:10:00
What's the use of talking about it?
You know I'd spend it on you and mum.

:10:04
I'd get you a new shiny car
and a swell apartment.

:10:07
Maybe one of those little dream houses
in the suburbs, some hired help.

:10:11
Maybe a trip to Europe. Maybe the Grand
Canyon would be better nowadays.

:10:15
- We'd be happy all right.
- We could be happy anyway.

:10:18
Everything that means happiness
costs money.

:10:21
How much was your dad making
when he married your mom?

:10:23
- 18 bucks a week.
- Well?

:10:25
You think that proves something?
:10:28
She's never been to the country
for more than a day.

:10:30
Never had any nice furniture.
:10:32
The dream of her life is a Davenport that
turns into a double bed at night-time.

:10:37
She's never had a nice dress
except those she made herself.

:10:40
I wore the old man's stuff cut down
until I got my first job

:10:44
and he was worn out at 48 and croaked
because he couldn't afford a doctor.

:10:47
Where do you get that $18 a week stuff?
:10:49
I earn $18 and you earn $22 and that's $40.
:10:52
Sure and you've got your ma
and I've got mine.

:10:55
You get a kid and you have to stop work
and we're right back at the $22 again.

:10:59
Except then there's you and the kid
and the two old ladies and me.

:11:03
- But Jimmy...
- Nix, honey.

:11:05
They didn't give you
wrists and hands like that

:11:07
to spoil in a washtub for a poor sap like me.
:11:10
- But Jimmy...
- You gotta look out for yourself.

:11:13
You gotta see the main chance and grab it,
the chance of plenty of money.

:11:16
Men look out for themselves.
They think about nothing but money.

:11:20
A girl's got to do the same instead of
fooling away her time on a guy like me.

:11:24
- Unless he crashes through.
- You make me tired.

:11:28
- Then go to bed.
- That's a nice thing to say.

:11:30
Invite a girl over and yell at her.
:11:32
If I wanted to be insulted, I could have gone
out with the credit manager.

:11:35
- Who's stopping you?
- Thank you, Mr MacDonald.

:11:38
- It's nice to know where you stand.
- I'm sorry.

:11:41
Maybe I will go out with the credit manager.
Good night.

:11:48
- Wait and I'll help you.
- I don't need any help.

:11:51
(Cat screeches)
:11:58
Here.
