Lora Mae.
1:18:35
- Happy New Year!
- Happy New Year.

1:18:38
- Will you stand still?
- Oh, this dress ain't my type at all.

1:18:41
For one thing,
it's too high in the front.

1:18:43
If my best dress ain't good enough for you,
you can get out of it right now.

1:18:46
Just don't give me that
big sacrifice routine.

1:18:48
- You'd wear it yourself
if you had someplace to go.
- Okay, that does it.

1:18:51
- Take it off.
- It was Ma's idea for me to wear it, not yours.

1:18:54
It's still my dress
and you got 30 seconds to get out of it.

1:18:56
Just because it's New Year's Eve
and you haven't even got a date...

1:18:59
- You're gonna look silly running
round this kitchen stark naked.

1:19:01
- Ma!
- Ten seconds to go.

1:19:03
- Just because you got
Porter Hollingsway mad at you...
- Five seconds!

1:19:07
- Ma!
- Lora Mae!

1:19:09
Can't we have some peace in this house
even on New Year's Eve?

1:19:12
You got it mixed up
with Christmas.

1:19:14
New Year's Eve is when people
go back to killing each other.

1:19:16
Which reminds me,
I gotta go to work.

1:19:18
That's a fine way to see the new year in, serving
up champagne for Mrs. Addie Ross and friends.

1:19:22
It beats sitting alone
with a glass of stale beer.

1:19:26
Forget it, Sadie.
I didn't mean it the way it sounded.

1:19:28
I know. Tell you what, comes midnight,
I'll slip Porter Hollingsway a mickey.

1:19:32
- Don't bother.
- It's a pleasure. Night, kids.

1:19:34
- Happy New Year, Sadie.
- Is he goin' to be at the Addie Ross party?

1:19:37
That's what the invite says.
1:19:39
- She's expecting the pleasure of his company.
- How do you know?

1:19:42
Listen, when they hire Sadie Dugan
for a waitress, they submit a guest list.

1:19:46
- And Lora Mae could have been there too.
- Stop pickin' on her!

1:19:48
- Who's pickin' on her?
- You and Babe. You stop it
and make Babe stop it too.

1:19:52
Of all the time to quit a job,
just before Christmas with all the bills due...

1:19:55
and five months due on the icebox.
1:19:57
You got to make up your mind whether you
want your kids happy or your icebox paid up.
