Hello, boys. How are you? All right, Butch.

Four hundred tons of dynamite. This'll be some shot.

Biggest yet, ain't it? Yeah.

All clear on the hill?

All clear. Let her go.

Look, boys. There's a man down. Come on!

Come on. Come on - we're off.

Some fool's gone and got hurt now.

Now, I suppose I'll have to listen to Pop tonight

telling if it wasn't for him,

the explosion would have been a flop.

I'm always hoping one of them will be.

No, they won't be.

They're engineers, not doctors.

Well, there goes today's excitement.

Didn't sound very loud up here.

Come on. Come on. Boys get going. Go on.

C'mon boys, bring a shovel.

Who is it? Who is it?

Hey, Spick, go get Doc, quick! Okay.

Who was it, do you know?

Must have been Pop Lane. He was working up there. Yeah?

You ought to wear more sensible shoes, Kitty.

Most men don't say that.

No? What do they say?

Oh, they say, "You've very pretty legs, Kitty."

Well, you have.

And then they say, "You're growing into quite a woman, aren't you?"

And they try and make a date.

Do they have any luck?

What? These bohunks?

Hey, Doc! There's a guy hurt.

All right. I'm coming.

You ought to get away from here, Kitty.

You'd get a long way in a big city. Yeah!

Just as far as I'm willing to let a man take me.

Well, what's wrong with that?

Hey, Doc. This guy's dyin'!

I'm coming.

Another bohunk got a sore toe.

I won't be long. Will you wait?

Maybe.

Come on, get off there.

Who was hurt, Fred?

Well... Who was it?

It's your old man, Kitty.

Split open. Let him out.

Ribs caved in. Punctured the lung. He's done for, I guess.

Couple of you hunkies will have to carry him to the shack.

That's the finish I guess.

That's what you get fooling around with dynamite.

I've nothing to leave you, Kitty.

Except maybe a little advice.

Don't talk like that, please Pop.

You're going to find this a tough world, Kitty.

Be tough yourself.

Then they can't hurt you.

Not if you learn to take 'em.

Go to your Aunt Dot.

Too many men around here...

You're grown now...

Don't forget...

Go to my sister.

Only one man killed in the biggest blast ever. Got away lucky at that.

Yes, cheap enough.

Wasn't a bad guy, either, old man Lane.

Got them plates washed, Dot?

Oh, my!

I wish we could teach dishes to wash themselves

like children and kittens and things.

Yeah! If I had it my way, we'd use nothin' but paper plates.

More sanitary.

Yes, but they'd melt in the water.

You don't wash 'em... You throw'em away.

Oh! Well, why don't we do that then?

Too expensive.

Where's Kitty?

Oh, she's outside, waiting on some customer.

Sure. Givin' some of them college boys a treat.

Oh, Fred. Kit's a good girl.

You can't tell me,

that foxy niece of yours gets all them tips just for waitin'!

If you ain't fryin' steaks, you get me on the pan.

One chicken pie.

Nothing in here, but the paper it came in.

Don't get funny. It's in there all right.

Oh, that's a double now.

Oh, must be for one of your fellows.

Your thought are just like your kitchen...

dirty.

Excuse me.

Thanks. Don't forget the coffee.

Hey, Kit! What do we owe you?

Not enough.

Oh, yeah!

How about a little service for me, baby?

Ah, ah. That's the way little boys get hurt.

All in one? Yeah. On Toby.

Good time Toby. The payoff guy.

Say, Kit. What are you doing later?

Is that a proposition? Sure.

Can you read? That's a dollar and a quarter.

Ten bits to you.

Someday, somebody else will grab a check

and you'll die of heart failure.

Say, Kit, won't you go to a show with me tonight?

For what?

You can't do much with a crowd around.

That's why I like crowds.

Take away the chicken pie.

But, Kit. There's a lot of things I want to tell you.

Only one, Toby. The answer is no.

Don't you know any three letter words?

Nix. Why you!

Hey, Toby. Come on, we've got places to go.

Come on. Cut the romance.

Come on, Romeo.

You couldn't lure a woman out of burning building.

Yeah, you guys couldn't get over so quick.

Nice day, isn't it?

No.

What's anatomy?

The study of the human body.Hmm...

All in one volume?

You boyfriends aren't satisfied just to read about it.

So I noticed.

I can't blame them.

Why not?

Well, what you don't ask for, you don't get.

That shapes up like a dig,

a nasty filthy dig.

You asked for it.

Oh, you don't know what you're thinking about.

Oh, yes I do. I've been watching you.

And take it from me, those boys wouldn't bother you

if you didn't...

Go on. I'm used to taking it.

No. Let's forget about it.

No. Go ahead. You started something. Finish it!

All right, I will.

A man knows when a woman doesn't want to be bothered.

Oh, I see. And I want to be? Yes.

Then how come you never annoyed me?

Well, I don't like to compete with the whole college.

If I owned this joint, I'd bust you in the nose for that!

Yes, if I were your brother, instead of a customer here,

I'd spank you.

I'd like to finish this chapter.

Well, go ahead, finish it someplace else.

Where they burn incense or something.

All right, I will. I don't like this place anyhow.

You may be hot, but the coffee's cold.

Keep the change.

Pinhead.

Nitwit. Skunk!

Hey, you forgot your hat.

Hey, stupid. You forgot your hat.

You talk as if you knew a lot about men.

Oh, I do. Living in a construction camp, you learn early.

I could cuss when I was six, and I could say no when I was fourteen.

You must have had a pretty tough time.

Oh no. I ain't kickin'. It was kind of an education.

Not much to choose between a camp and a campus.

Well, you know they, they talk a lot about you around here.

Yeah, and I know what they're saying.

But they're talking it out in talk.

I was sure of that.

You know, you're a really fine person.

Oh!

Oh!

Well, that's the first time, a bad slice ever did me a favor.

If we park anyplace else, they'll start a war to break us up.

There's more privacy on Main Street.

I tell you, Judge, something terrible

has happened to David. I know it.

Why? Because he didn't go to the doctor with you?

If you had a son of your own you might understand my worry.

Perhaps. Although taking care of your estate gives me worry enough.

It's the first time David has ever disappointed me.

I'm upset about him.

He can't always be tied to your apron strings.

And I have to be so careful with my heart acting the way it is.

Last night it throbbed violently for hours at a time.

Oh stop it, Helen.

You know there's nothing the matter with you.

Oh, all right. There's nothing the matter with me.

Oh! My soul! Look!

Well, here we are. Safe and sweet.

A red letter day for Kitty Lane. Didn't have to walk an inch.

David.

Hello, Mother.

This is Miss... Miss Lane.

My mother and Judge Forbes.

Hello.

How do you do? How do you do?

You had me worried to death, David.

I had no idea where you were.

I had to go to the doctor alone.

I'm sorry, Mother. I forgot all about it.

Well, I guess I better be going.
