All right. How much money have you got there—Gietel? Mrs. Lezinsky. Now call me Goldie, Solly, so I know you ain't mad. Lezinsky. Yes, yes. Mrs. Lezinsky. Goldie—say it—Solly leben—Go on—count it—Goldie. Mr. and Mrs. Lezinsky. One.... —Two.... —Three.... —Five dollars.... —Seven dollars.... —Seventeen.... —Twenty-seven.... —Thirty-seven. Lezinsky. Thirty-seven dollars in all—the rent and the gas! Mrs. Lezinsky. And a little over, Solly, to pay on the baby carriage. Lezinsky. And to-morrow Rosch Hoschana. Shall we starve the children on Rosch Hoschana? Mrs. Lezinsky. They could go a little hungry once for their little sister, Eileen. Lezinsky. Don't be too sure, Goldie, maybe another boy comes. Mrs. Lezinsky. Well, even if—it needs the fresh air, too.
