After a family visit, a newly married couple is at home and the wife insists she will take care of him. He gives her his paycheck card; she promises to track every dollar and helps him clean, awkwardly removing a stick from his pants before he leaves for the office. Alone, she resolves to find work—cleaning or waitressing—so they can earn money together and she can manage finances. Just as she starts organizing their plan, a woman bursts in shouting, "You brat! Come home with me!", forcing an immediate challenge to her new resolve.
