Scene: Joe and Jennie's Bedroom

[JOE]
I wish I could explain just how I feel about this Chicago thing, it's... I don't know!

[JENNIE]
Don't worry about it, darling. You're a better judge of what you can do than I am

[FEMALE ENSEMBLE]
(with some solos)
Go easy, Jenny...
Use your head
This is the biggest chance you'll ever have!
Maybe the only chance!

(JENNIE laughs.)

[JOE]
What are you laughing at?

[JENNIE]
The way my mind rushes on when I get excited... when you told me about this, first thing I thought of... was we'd soon be so rich, you could give your father that old ten-thousand dollars he needs to complete thе hospital!

Know what else I was thinking?

Now, at last, we could afford somеthing... something I've wanted ever since we were married, even before we were married! He'd be... or she'd be... the most important thing in my life, next to you
