All discuss the matter, and the boy volunteers to contribute some of his earnings to the family, too. Suddenly, the waitress (older daughter in this family) appears showing them her new dress. The father objects to the purchase and the girl leaves. The family is distressed and members try to soothe one another. A phone call causes the mother and father to leave suddenly.
