"Modern Times" 261 duck becomes a chandelier ornament before the customer finally receives it. In the cabaret a song is to be introduced. Forced to substitute for the male singer, Charlie has the girl write the words of the song on his cuff. The cuff comes off at the wrong moment and Charlie sings a jabberwocky, mixing several languages and double-talk. He is a hit, but his triumph is cut short by juvenile officers coming for the girl. The pair make a getaway. Sitting at a country roadside, the two, depressed by their bad luck, finally perk up as they decide, "We'll get along." The final scene shows them, with undiminished courage, walking arm in arm down the road toward the horizon.
