Be Kind Rewind Page #2
Good night, Mike.
Don't forget to turn out the lights.
Good night, Mr. Fletcher.
A rent party was the place to be
in the '20s and '30s.
They were jumping.
If you didn't have enough money
to cover your rent...
...you'd invite a few musicians,
charge for drinks, and you'd get it on.
Everybody would throw
just a little bit in the pot.
A dollar, whatever they could spare.
Jerry doesn't believe you've ever been
to a rent party, Mr. Fletcher.
What are you talking about?
I never said that.
Oh, man, I used to go to all of them.
That's where I'd meet
all the girls on Saturday night.
I can't imagine you with a girl,
Mr. Fletcher.
Oh, nice, that's great. That's perfect.
Yeah, what about you, Jerry?
I don't see much action
coming out of your trailer at night.
When I was your age,
my balls were flapping so hard...
... I had to scrape them off the ground
and beg them to come home with me.
- Come on, balls.
- Yeah, come on.
Come on. That's hilarious.
What about you, Mike?
When was the last time you heard
some action coming out of his room?
Why are you all worried about me for?
Now, it's more like a trumpet solo.
Trumpet solo.
Could you close your mouth
when you chew? Thanks.
How come you never got married,
Mr. Fletcher?
...the girl that you was gonna ask,
you waited too long to ask...
...and she went on
And then you can't find anybody
that compared to her.
So, what happens? You get old.
Obviously we're looking
at a real improvement in quality of life.
These brand-new condominiums
...the fresh blood
that we need for our community...
...and transform this slum forever.
"Slum"? Hey, this is not a slum.
Hey, sure, the place needs a few repairs,
but I'm taking care of it.
Look, look,
business is about to pick up.
I can feel it.
I'm sorry, Mr. Fletcher,
but the building is condemned.
It violates structural,
fire and plumbing standards.
I don't see wheelchair access.
Your video store is a tenement.
You have 60 days from this notice
of demolition...
...to bring it up to code,
otherwise we will have to demolish it.
- But we will relocate you...
- Yes.
...to a property
of proportionate fair-market value.
Projects aren't so bad, you know.
Move to the projects?
How am I gonna tell Mike?
Look, I just wanna improve the life
of the people of Passaic, that's all.
You know, you don't have to pay me
this month, Mr. Fletcher. I'm okay.
Don't worry about the money, Mike.
I'll pay you soon.
In fact, I... I need for you
to take over for me.
- You're retiring?
- Oh, no, no, no.
This year's the 60th anniversary
