- Ma!
- Ten seconds to go.

1:19:03
- Just because you got
Porter Hollingsway mad at you...
- Five seconds!

1:19:07
- Ma!
- Lora Mae!

1:19:09
Can't we have some peace in this house
even on New Year's Eve?

1:19:12
You got it mixed up
with Christmas.

1:19:14
New Year's Eve is when people
go back to killing each other.

1:19:16
Which reminds me,
I gotta go to work.

1:19:18
That's a fine way to see the new year in, serving
up champagne for Mrs. Addie Ross and friends.

1:19:22
It beats sitting alone
with a glass of stale beer.

1:19:26
Forget it, Sadie.
I didn't mean it the way it sounded.

1:19:28
I know. Tell you what, comes midnight,
I'll slip Porter Hollingsway a mickey.

1:19:32
- Don't bother.
- It's a pleasure. Night, kids.

1:19:34
- Happy New Year, Sadie.
- Is he goin' to be at the Addie Ross party?

1:19:37
That's what the invite says.
1:19:39
- She's expecting the pleasure of his company.
- How do you know?

1:19:42
Listen, when they hire Sadie Dugan
for a waitress, they submit a guest list.

1:19:46
- And Lora Mae could have been there too.
- Stop pickin' on her!

1:19:48
- Who's pickin' on her?
- You and Babe. You stop it
and make Babe stop it too.

1:19:52
Of all the time to quit a job,
just before Christmas with all the bills due...

1:19:55
and five months due on the icebox.
1:19:57
You got to make up your mind whether you
want your kids happy or your icebox paid up.

1:20:00
- Oh, not for all the iceboxes in the worid...
- Oh, relax.

1:20:04
Have a good time tonight
at the bingo party.

1:20:06
Gee, I wish you were
gonna be there.

1:20:08
- Happy New Year, Ruby.
- Happy New Year, Sadie.

1:20:16
- You sure you don't want to
come play bingo with me?
- Thanks, Ma.

1:20:19
- I'll be home before midnight.
- Oh, you don't have to on my account.
I'm going to bed early.

1:20:23
Well, I better go get dressed.
1:20:53
- Hi, Lora Mae.
- Hi, Nick.

1:20:55
- Babe ready yet?
- Unless she's beat her brains out
with a powder puff.

1:20:58
- Sit down. Give me a cigarette, huh?
- Sure.
