Cherry is telling Larry that they have no future together because she wants security she never had because of her gambling father. But Larry immediately runs to a phone booth and calls Steve. When all three get together, Larry tells them he needs a year to prove he can change. Since Steve owes Larry a favor for saving his life, he wants Steve to look after Cherry for a year and keep the wolves at bay until he gets back. For the next year, Steve is always there, pointing out the flaws in her new boyfriends and reminding her to wait for Larry. But it is Steve she really wants.
