Marty been lately, Aunt Theresa?
Oh, he's fine.
You know a nice girl he can marry?
Oh, don't worry. He'll get married.
I don't know.
He sits around the house all the time.
You know a nice place
where he can go to get a bride?
There's the Stardust Ballroom.
That's a big dance hall.
Every Saturday night
it's loaded with girls. It's a nice place.
You pay 77 cents. Well, it used to be 77
cents. Probably a dollar and a half now.
You go in and ask some girl to dance.
It's a respectable...
That's where I met Virginia.
You tell Marty to go to the Stardust
Ballroom. It's loaded with tomatoes.
"The Stardust Ballroom.
It's loaded with tomatoes."
Right.
Aunt Theresa, this is so nice of you.
I want you to know we appreciate it.
He's here.
- Hello, Marty.
- Hello, Ma.
Thomas and Virginia are here.
They just had another big fight
with your Aunt Caterina,
so they ask me if it's OK
Caterina come live here.
I said all right with me,
but we gotta ask you.
Marty, she's a lonely old woman.
Nobody wants her.
Everybody's throwing her out they house.
- Well, sure, Ma. It's OK with me.
- You got a good heart.
- Marty say it's all right she come here.
- Thanks. Takes a load off of my mind.
- We got plenty of room here.
- Oh, it's gonna be nice.
I come over tonight, I talk to Caterina.
Everything is gonna work out all right.
I wanna thank you
because it was becoming impossible.
Sit down, Thomas. Sit down.
Marty, I appreciate what you
and your mother are doing because...
- Oh.
- No, listen. What was happening...
Virginia was makin' milk and my mother...
- I promised the baby-sitter six o'clock.
- OK.
- Before you go, I need some advice.
- Sure. What?
Well, you're the accountant in the family.
My boss wants to sell his shop to me.
- Oh, yeah?
- Well, him and his wife live alone.
They wanna move out to California
and live near their married daughter.
Well, he wants $5,000 down, although
I think I can knock him down to four.
Tommy!
Marty, I gotta run now,
but I'll meet you at mass tomorrow.
Afterwards we'll discuss it.
It sounds like a good proposition.
- OK. He wants an answer by Monday.
- Oh, sure.
We'll work out an arrangement
about my mother. I wanna pay you...
- No, listen...
- Tommy!
We'll talk about it later. Thanks again.
- Goodbye, Marty.
- Goodbye, Virginia. See ya soon.
- Goodbye, Aunt Theresa.
- Goodbye, Aunt Theresa. Thank you.
Hello. Is this Mary Feeney?
Well, could I speak to Miss Mary Feeney?
Just tell her an old friend.
Oh, hello there. Is this Mary Feeney?
Hello there. This is Marty Piletti.
I wonder if you recall me.
Well, I'm kind of a stocky guy. The last
time we met was in the RKO Chester.
You was with a friend of yours and
I was with a friend of mine name of Angie.
This was about a month ago.
The RKO Chester on West Farms Square.
Yeah, you was sittin' in front of us and
we was annoyin' ya and you got mad.
I'm the fella who works in a butcher shop.
Oh, come on, you know who I am.
That's right! And then we went to
Howard Johnson's. You had a milk shake.
Yeah, that's right.
I'm the stocky one, the heavyset fella.
Yeah. Well, I'm glad you recall me,
because I had a pretty nice time that night
and I was wonderin'
how everything was with you.
How's everything?
That's swell.
Yeah, well, I'll tell you why I called.
I was figurin' on takin' in a movie tonight
and I was wonderin' if you and your friend
would care to see a movie tonight
with me and my friend.
Yeah, tonight.
I know it's a little late to call for a date,
but I didn't know myself till...
Yeah, I know.
Yeah, well, what about...
Well, how about next Saturday night?
Are you free next Saturday night?
Well, what about the Saturday after that?
Yeah.
Yeah, I know.
Oh, I mean, I understand that...
Yeah.
Yeah.
So, what are you
gonna do tonight, Marty?
I don't know, Ma. I'm all knocked out.
I may just hang around the house.
Why don't you go to
the Stardust Ballroom?
