Instead of selling,

I'm going shopping with Joy.

I'm a sick man.

God, why? 'Cause I can't

say no to a woman.

I love 'em.

I got to make them happy.

If they're happy,

I can be happy.

It's not fair that my life

should hang in the balance.

I mean, I've gotta know.

I am not divorcing Harry...

until I know I'll

be taken care of.

I mean, am I wrong?

If I'm wrong, tell me.

- You're wrong.

- Nice piece, isn't it?

- Lovely.

- Gorgeous.

One of my favorites.

Came in on an estate sale.

French art glass,

Gall. Mid-19th century.

Would you like me to price it?

Would you, please?

What's it going to be?

Look what you're buying here.

I'll never be able to do

for you what Harry can.

- I don't have his money.

- What are you saying?

Listen, I've got

family responsibilities.

My mother, a daughter

going to college soon.

You know, you insult me.

I'm not talking about

financial support, you putz!

I'm talking emotional support!

Emotional.

Can you afford that?

- You like this?

- I like you.

- Do you want it?

- I want you!

So you're saying

someone died...

and you got

this baby real cheap.

You mind showing us the invoice?

I see a lot of

art hanging around...

with what we like

to call dust on it.

You don't make money if you

don't move the inventory.

May I have a moment with you?

You're a salesman first and

then everything else second.

I've got to sell some cars.

Honey, it's just

very embarrassing.

Why is it necessary for you

to try and sell the man a car?

What are you pissed about?

I saved you a grand.

It's not that.

What are you doing?

I thought you quit smoking.

Have a piece of gum instead.

Why do you hate

Harry so much for?

You want to throw

his money away?

I don't hate Harry!

Can I help it if he loves

when I spend his money?

Come on!

I don't make that kind of money.

I know you don't. I'm not

asking you to marry me.

I'm just saying...

shut up!

I will not share you

with other women...

and that includes Tina.

It's green!

What are you

talking about, Tina?

We're divorced.

You know that.

- You still sleep with her.

- I do not sleep with her.

I see her. I have

a daughter with her.

I have to see her

to see my daughter.

If I don't see her,

some other schlub sees her...

and I don't get to see

my daughter at all.

Joy, I hear what you're saying.

I know what you want.

Honey. So let's call Harry and

we'll just get it over with.

There's a pay phone...

Jesus Christ.

I gotta get to work.

I'm gonna lose my goddamn job...

if I don't... what's

your problem?!

Honey, honey!

You get the dog excited.

I didn't mean to.

I'm sorry, darling.

You didn't bond with him.

I'll bond with him very soon.
