How does he feel?

Sara

Healthy, thank God. Jakie, you’ll live here with us, no?

Jack

I’d love to, Ma, but I can’t. I wired for a room at the hotel. I have to see some people uptown on business.

Sara

[Rises]. Don’t be foolish. For business you can go uptown, and for eating you can come here and eat your mama’s cooking, and here you can sleep. I got your old bed just the way it was when you left and all your things is in your room the way you used to want them. [As she is saying this, Jack is patting her cheeks with his hand and interrupting her gaily, tenderly with “Yeh, yeh, Mama, yeh, yeh!” Sara moves to his suitcase.]

Jack

Here, what are you doing?
