or with a girl. - Oh, I'm stag. - I got stuck on a blind date with a dog. I just met an old girl I used to know, so I need to get rid of the girl I'm with. Somebody to take her home, you know what I mean? - I'd pay you $5 if you take her home. - What? I'll introduce you as an old army buddy of mine and then I'll cut out, because I got this other girl waiting for me by the hatcheck, and I'll pay you $5. - Are you kiddin'? - No, I'm not kiddin'. You just can't walk off on a girl like that! As long as she's goin' home alone, give me the $5 back. Look, Mac, you paid me the $5. The $5 is mine. Excuse me, miss, but would you care to dance? Miss? - You come up here often? - I was up here twice before. Once I came up with a friend of mine and... once alone. The last time... You see that girl sitting over there in the grey dress? Yeah. Well, the last time I was here, that's where I sat. I sat there for an hour and a half without moving a muscle. Now and then some fellow would kind of come up to me and then change his mind. I'll never forget just sitting there for an hour and a half with my hands in my lap. Then I began to cry. I had to get up and go home. I've begun to cry a lot lately. I cry a lot, too. I'm a big crier. This is something recent with me, this bursting into tears at the slightest thing. I cry all the time, any little thing. My brothers, my brothers-in-law always tell me what a good-hearted guy I am. You're not good-hearted by accident. You get kicked around long enough, you get to be a real professor of pain. I know exactly how you feel. I also want you to know I'm having a good time with you and really enjoyin' myself. So, you see, you're not such a dog as you think you are. I'm having a very good time, too. So there you are. So I guess I'm not such a dog as I think I am. No, you're a very nice guy. I don't know why some girl hasn't grabbed you off long ago. Well, I don't know either. I think I'm a very nice guy. I also think I'm a pretty smart guy in my own way. Excuse me. I figure two people get married and they're gonna live together 40, 50 years, so it's gotta be more than whether they're just good-lookin' or not. You think you're not so good-lookin'. Well, my father was a real ugly man, but my mother adored him. She told me how she'd get so miserable sometimes, like everybody, you know? And she says my father always tried to understand. I used to see them sometimes when I was a kid sittin' in the livin' room talkin', and I used to adore my old man, because he was always so kind. That's one of the most beautiful things I have in my life - the way my parents were. And my father was a real ugly man. So it doesn't matter if you look like a gorilla. See, dogs like us, we ain't such dogs as we think we are. I'm 29 years old. How old are you? I'm 34. - Oh, hello, Aunt Theresa. Come on in. - Is Caterina here? We didn't say anything. We thought we'd leave it to you. We thought you'd put it like how you were lonely and why doesn't she live with you. That way it looks like she's doing you a favour, instead of we're throwin' her out. - You want Tommy and me to stay? - No. It's better idea if you and Tommy go, otherwise she's gonna start to fight with you and everybody be yelling. - Hello, Aunt Theresa. - Hello, Thomas. Who's there? Who's there? - It's me, Caterina! How you feel? - Hey, what are you doin' here? I come to see you. How you feel? I got a pain on my left side and my leg throbs like a drum. - I been getting pain in my shoulder. - Hah! I got a pain in my shoulder, too. I got a pain in my hip and my right arm aches so much I can't sleep. Ah, it's a curse to be old. We got a postcard from my son Nicky and his bride. They are in Florida in a big hotel on their honeymoon. I got a letter from my husband's cousin in Abruzzi. - His mother die. - Oh.
