to feel sorry for you.

Everybody

can't be poor.

Look, (STAMMERING)

if you need anything,

just pound on the wall.

I'll come right away.

Thanks, Igor.

Good night.

(BANGING ON WALL)

Toni?

Igor.

Igor, I want you to call

Julian for me in the morning

before he gets that letter.

Why don't you

call him yourself?

In the first place,

I'll be sleeping.

And second place,

I don't want to give him

the satisfaction

of hearing me cry.

Why not throw

a scare into him?

He deserves it.

Oh, he's liable to call

the cops or something.

Will you do it?

Yeah, all right.

He's in the book.

Julian Winston, D.D.S.,

Fifth Avenue.

Julian Winston,

D.D.S., Fifth Avenue.

What'll I say to him?

Just tell him I'm alive.

You're alive.

And I never want to

see him again

as long as I live!

(DOOR CLOSING)

(TELEPHONE RINGING)

Dr. Winston's office.

Who?

Igor Sullivan?

Is it about an appointment?

Oh, I'm sorry, Mr. Sullivan,

but the doctor's

with a patient right now.

If you'll just

give me the message.

Well, if you insist

on speaking to him,

then you'll have to

call back later.

A caramel. One lousy caramel,

and the whole damned

filling came out.

Mrs. Durant, it was only

a temporary filling,

and you were warned

to be careful.

(TSKS) Caramels!

Well, good heavens,

I've given up

everything else.

Is the doctor

ready for me?

He was 20 minutes ago.

But since you were late,

he gave your time

to another patient.

(SIGHS)

Morning, Miss Dickinson.

Oh, thank you, Howard.

Would you please tell

the doctor I'm in a hurry?

Charles is expecting me

in half an hour.

Charles?

Mr. Charles,

the hairdresser.

Today he's taking

care of me personally.

I can't keep him waiting.

Really, Mrs. Durant,

your teeth are more important

than your hair.

You really believe that,

don't you?

(SIGHS)

Sad.

(SNIFFS) Mmm!

(TELEPHONE RINGING)

Dr. Winston's office.

Good morning, Mrs. Andrews.

Well, the doctor

is booked solid today.

Well, let me check with him.

Excuse me, Doctor,

Mrs. Andrews

is on the phone.

Her bridge is wobbling.

Tell her to come in

at 8:
00 tomorrow morning.

Yes, Doctor.

And Mrs. Durant is here.

When you get a minute,

I'd like to speak to you.

All right.

Mr. Greenfield,

please don't handle

the instruments.

Say, I was reading the other

day that there's a dentist

in New Jersey

who has topless nurses.

I didn't know

you were interested

in reading.

She really turns me off.

I thought

all Swedish dames

were sexy.

I mean, I've seen

some of those movies,

but this one's

like an iceberg.

She's very efficient.

Have you ever seen her

out of her uniform?

I mean,

in street clothes?

I'll bet she wears
