shirley drags john to a justice of the peace (otto hoffman). allen thinks he is still in the speakeasy. he still has a teacup hooked on his finger and is yelling for a waiter to get more drink. the justice of the peace says allen is too drunk, but shirley bribes him with $10, and indicates that she already has a ring, which she has had for some weeks. when shirley and a stupefied john allen return to his apartment, shirley has a blazing argument with bud. bud: "you dirty little ape, did you rope him in? didn't take you long to find out he can't hold his liquor". shirley shows him the ring. "we're married, right square and legal, and there's nothing that you or anyone else can do about it". shirley throws bud out. as bud is leaving, shirley is getting undressed to consummate the marriage somehow, to a drunk john allen. bud says to the comatose john, "you said you'd bring me back a lollipop. you did alright and a red one at that". he flicks a lit cigarette at shirley's naked back.
