City Slickers Page #2

Did you ever reach a point

in your life where you think...

..."This is the best I'm ever gonna

look, the best I'm ever gonna feel...

...the best I'm ever gonna do,

and it ain't that great"?

- Happy birthday.

- Thank you.

Look, I'm the station manager.

I'm responsible... for the quality

of work here at the station...

...so, until further notice, I shall

personally approve all the new spots.

What? I can't make a deal

without checking with you first?

Just till you get back on track.

So we're doing this job

on 60th and 3rd...

...big friggin' ballbreaker

of a job, right?

We got the area roped off so

that some schmuck don't walk in...

...and take a wreckin' ball

between the eyes.

All of a sudden, this woman, with the big,

dark glasses, the Bloomingdale's bags...

...she starts walkin' through the ropes.

I yelled down at her "Hey, you

can't go there, you stupid b*tch!"

Suddenly, this big steam fitting bursts...

...and this enormous goddamn crane

crashes right down on her legs...

...and she's screaming "My legs! My legs!"

And I say "No sh*t, your legs. You got

a 2,000lb goddamn crane on 'em."

Now, do you know how, in an emergency,

you can get superhuman strength?

I reach down and I lift this crane...

...and Ernesto's able

to slide her out from under...

...and the doctors were

able to save her legs!

So the moral is... don't walk

where you're not supposed to walk...

...because there may not be somebody

with superhuman strength to save you.

And don't do drugs.

That's it.

Thank you, Mr Morelli.

That was... very descriptive.

Daniel, would you introduce your father,

please, and tell us what he does?

My Dad's named Mitch and he's...

...he's a submarine commander.

Danny.

He works for WBLM radio.

Well, like Danny said,

I work for WBLM radio.

- Are you a disc jockey?

- No, I'm not a disc jockey.

You know the commercials

that are on the radio?

Do you make all those commercials?

No. Other people

make the commercials.

I sell them time on our station

for the commercials to be on.

So you decide which

commercials to use and when.

That's right. Well, no, it's

not right. It used to be right.

Seems now that I have to check with the

station manager if I wanna wipe my nose.

The minute he took away

my authority, I shoulda quit.

Mr Robbins?

What?

Value this time in your life, kids.

This is the time in your life

when you still have your choices.

It goes by so fast.

When you're a teenager, you think

you can do anything, and you do.

Your 20s are a blur. 30s, you raise

your family, you make a little money...

...and you think to yourself

"What happened to my 20s?"

40s, you grow a little pot belly, you grow
