By now, l could've been black.

- ..consistent loser at the table.

- That's my weakness. l lose.

- l don't know what l'll do tonight.

- Get a date. We'll double.

- Ok, l'll call Barbara.

- Have her bring a friend.

- Forget it.

- l had a date. She called it off.

- There's a dock strike.

- See what Norma's doing.

- She's always ready for action.

- Who?

You... You busy tonight?

Some old friends are coming over.

We're gonna show

some pornographic movies.

You need an usher?

You're cute. l'm busy.

Get a copy of Time magazine

and l think l'll take Commentary

and the Saturday Review.

And... let's see, Newsweek.

l'll just... grab one of these.

Take 'em all.

Fifty, a dollar, dollar and a quarter...

Hey, Ralph,

how much is a copy of Orgasm?

- Just put 'em in a bag, will you?

- What?

Orgasm. This man wants to buy a copy.

How much is it?

Doing a sociological study on perversion.

l'm up to advanced child molesting.

Come back. Back, back.

More, more, more.

Back, back, back.

Hi. l'm collecting names on a petition

to request our government

to break relations with San Marcos

which is ruled

by a military brutal dictatorship

opposed to any concept

of civil liberties. Would you sign?

Sure.

- l'm sorry. l broke the point.

- That's Ok.

Want to come in? l have a pencil.

And l'll give you another pencil.

Have you been following it

in the newspapers?

Soon there's gonna be a revolution

in San Marcos.

The United States should support

the rebels and not the dictatorship,

which, as you know, has been our history.

What do you do?

l'm a products tester

for a large corporation.

l make sure products

are safe and practical.

Today l tested an exercise machine

and an electrically warmed

toilet seat for cold days.

Would you like some coffee?

lf you're hungry, l could open

a can of ribs if you want.

Ribs? l'd love some coffee,

but l have a lot of work to do.

Here, l'll make you some. lt'll take

two seconds to make some coffee.

How can l find out more about your

cause? l have a lot of spare time.

Would you like to volunteer

for the Volunteers for San Marcos?

ls it possible to discuss that

over dinner tomorrow night?

Doesn't have to be tomorrow night.

l'm open for the next six years.

l have a yoga class tomorrow night

and l couldn't miss that.

Yoga. l love yoga.

Do you really? Yoga -

it's one of my great passions.

l love Eastern philosophies.

lt's... metaphysical and redundant.

- Yes.

- Abortively pedantic.

- l know just what you mean.

- Thank you.

Have you ever read the l Ching?

Not the actual Ching itself,

but l've dabbled in kierkegaard.

- Oh, well, of course he's Danish.

- Yes.

He'd be the first to admit that.
