Quote context

[...]

- Now look at my own mother, she's never been to the country for more than one day and never had any nice furniture.

- The dream of her life is a davenport that turns into a double bed at night with a crank.

- She's never had a decent dress except what she's made herself, and my old man...

- Hmph. Worn out at 48, and died because he couldn't afford a decent doctor.

- So I earn 26 dollars a week and you want to get married.

- And I earn 18 and that makes 44.

- Sure, sure. And you've got your ma and I've got mine, and then we have a baby and you have to stop working and we're right back at the same old 26 again. Except then there's you and the kid and the two old ladies.

- Oh, but Jimmy, darling...

- Nix honey, nix. They didn't give you wrists like that and hands like that to spoil them scrubbing floors for a dope like me.

- A man's got to look out for himself in this old world and a girl's got to do the same, instead of fooling away her time on a guy like me. Unless he crashes through...

- Oh, you make me tired.

- Then go to bed!

- Well, that's a nice thing to say! You invite a girl over to your roof and then yell at her.
