Living in a Big Way

It had to be you

Nobody but you.

Finally found.

Found somebody who.

I'll always be true.

I'd never be blue.

Glad.

Sad.

That's all that I do.

I bet you've seen lots.

I'd never be mean.

I know you woudn't, Maggie.

Speaking of being mean,

you still haven't told me why you were so late tonight.

I didn't want to. I had to.

I was packing.

Oh...

-I figured I'd rather lose the time off the beginning of the evening.

That's right. The last hour is always the sweetest.

Maggie...

This is the last hour.

I knew that would happen the first time we were alone.

So did I.

We were crazy to spend nine nights just dancing.

Leo, I want to hear all about you.

I don't know anything about you except

that I like the way your suit fits.

Go on from there.

No, there isn't enough time.

Now it's awful short, you know.

Besides, the subject of 'Maggie Morgan' has priority.

Tell me about you.

Well. I come from poor but honest parents,

we live in Glendale, I model.

Mother... she's mother and father makes doorknobs.

-Well, I hope they won't object to a dancer for a son-in-law.

How can they?

You've practically made a career for me in nine short nights.

Well, you're not bad.

Not bad.

Is that the only reason you like me, Leo?

Because I don't step on your toes?

Listen.

Nobody else gives me a thrill.

And all your faults I love you still.

It had to be you

Wonderful you

It had to be you

Ain't you got a pinstripe or something?

It's all we have.

-He just doesn't know what's been going on in this country.

Oh, Bubbles,

are you ready for my debut?

-Come on out. I'm ready for anything.

If you'll excuse an old joke, it fits like the paper on the wall.

-Yeah, it ought to. That's what it's made out of.

Good joke.

Well, wrap it up bud.

And don't scratch up none of them good conduct medals.

Well, what do you think?

Well, we can always re-enlist.

-Well, if you're through admiring me should I look at myself or shouldn't I?

What's wrong with this one?

That's no use, Babe. It ain't my color.

-I can't believe it. -What can we do?

We can't break in this man's warehouse.

Was I this ugly before the war?

-There're some things even a war can't change.

-Well, anyway we got to find a place to live.

I can't wait to see you in one of these things.

-I got a beauty all picked out. -Ha-ha-ha!

-This suit is not your size! It's much too big in the back.

That one I picked out.

-I beg your pardon, bud, but this number is spoken for.

-Well, who are you? -My friend's in a hurry.

Come on, stop, you're hustling me.

You have on the other half of my suit.

-I have on the other half of nothing! What are you doing?

-You look funny enough now. How do you think you're going to look

without pants? This thing don't fit, does it, Leo?

-No, it doesn't fit at all. Just a minute, bud. I want to show you something.

Yeah, let he show you something like this.

-You see? -Take it easy!

Look, I don't get shoved around... -I'm not shoving you

around. We're peace loving... -What's going on?

It don't fit! It don't fit!

I can have it altered, can't I?

-It would be easier to have you altered. Take it easy. Take it easy.

-Look, I want to get that coat back or else!

Why don't you stop following me?

Don't a guy get any protection in this place?

-Look, I want that coat right now! -Uh, uh, uh!

You're intruding on my friend's privacy.

-Gentlemen! -Did somebody lose a coat?

-How did we ever win the war with guys like you in the Navy?

Just don't talk about the Navy, huh, bud?

-Why don't you go with the boys department and get some rumpus?

Where's the manager?

Who made that crack about the Navy?

What Navy?

Who made the crack?

Leo, did you say something about the Navy?

I think we have a very nice Navy.

-But I had a suit all picked out and they hustled me out of it.

Now what are you gonna do about it?

-Just take it easy. I'll find you another suit.

I don't want another suit. I want that suit!

Oh...

-I, uh, I hope I didn't say anything to offend your husband.

Oh, he's in a bad mood.

Now it's your turn to laugh.

-Ain't you gonna look at yourself in the mirror?

-Oh, no. I took a look at you. That's enough.

It needs very little done to it.

Very little...

If I thought I looked as silly as you do,

I joined the Navy myself.

-Let's get out of here before we start another war.

What was that crack?

-Now pipe down! -There's any more cracks about the Navy,

I'll make them! -Sure, all right. You make them.

-...it's a principle of honor. -My friend, he needs that suit

more than you. He's got to meet a woman.

-Well, I got a girlfriend too so, what do you think of that?

It's not a girlfriend. It's it's a wife.

-So what? -You don't get the point!

He wants to scare his wife and this is just the suit that's going to do it.

-Oh, he's joking! He's joking! -I just don't like to get shoveled around.

-We'll get you another suit... -How much?

-Fifty-five and seven. -Right.

Now that we got the Navy in a good humor,

what's the name of that guy that has the apartment?

-Never mind about that guy. I got something more important

to attend to first.

-Oh, why don't you get that gal off your mind?

-What's the damage? -Fifty-five senveteen.

-I never thought she was the kind to take her guys allotment, then... brush him off.

-She probably did the same thing to a lot of other guys.

Look. Here's a picture of her.

She really looks much better than that,

as much as I can remember.

Anyhow, she's got pretty legs.

She ought to be in the Navy.

-Don't start that again. -Hey!

Here you are...

-How'd you like to look at a couple of giraffes?

Love at first sight.

Are you trying to start something?

Me?

I never pick on a man bigger than myself.

Do we? -That's what I thought.

-Madam, if my friend has said anything about the Navy I'm sorry.

That's what I thought.

-Now, listen you. He's trying to be a gentleman.

My husband just doesn't like cracks about the Navy.

-We don't either! -Why every Navy man I ever met

was a very fine fellow. -That's what I thought.

-They're all swell guys, every one of them.

-Oh, you want me guys but I think that, that's all?

By the way madam,

what branch of the service was your husband in?

Oh, that did it!

Let me go, will ya?

-I just can't figure you. -Why?

-This Mrs. Gogarty don't sound like the sort of twist

I'd break a leg to get back to.

-Well, there's a lot of things I've got to go over with Mrs. Gogarty

besides my allotments.

Such as...?

-Well, it was a very unusual marriage, you see,

we only knew each other for a few days and,

the night we were married I was AWOL.

The MPs caught up with me at the judge's house and yanked me off to the boat.

We shipped out four hours later.

-Oh, no! You mean, you mean... -Yeah, you guessed it.

-Oh, what a horrible war it was. -So shattering.

-Say, it's a pretty nice residential district around here.

Your gal's not rich, is she?
