Helene, your food's getting cold

He's still there honey | it's half passed 7 o'clock

I didn't know he'd still there honey

I didn't know that Mr Odergard | would be working late tonight

Wait, I think somebody's with him

I'm going down there

Get off that f***ing window!

I'm sorry

I'll go down

You can't go out in this... | terrible weather

Don't call anybody

I'll see what's going on

Remember what I said

I didn't expect him in the shop tonight

it's a complete surprise to me, | a total surprise...and...

You'd like that wouldn't you baby?

A thousand guys would give | a thousand bucks to have dinner

with a girl like that

Just look at that guy

I'm not that kind of girl!

Well, with a little of practice | you could learn to be

Nice tie!

Ooh! $ 76

Ok, here is forty

you took the dinner, | I had the appetizer

Call me a sport

I'd call you a heel!

So I'm a heel

So whatever? So are you

Maybe I'm just a guy who hates heels

Maybe I'm a heel | who hates guys who hate heels

Oh yeah? | Well maybe I'm a guy...

Oh, ah...

Loser

Oh oh in the eye, noodles

No one! No one!

What the hell am I doing here?

I got a Jesus Christ

how do I get myself into this?

So partner...

Nobody makes a fool out of | Ernest Aloysius Trend

now everything's hunky-dory

No witnesses, | I know Officer

I couldn't say where he is

Enemies? Not that I know of, knew of...

Yes | Donald was very much beloved by all

Of course, sure he's all right

Ah, ha, ha...!

Ernest, is everything all right?

Yes fine.... the shop

Are you sure?

...back door...

Ok, and come on honey, | your dinner is getting cold

Ok, I'm coming home dear, good bye

I used to think that the key to | happiness...

was the insulation and | repair of small electrical appliances

but...but I don't claim to know

about the grand design

but lately I haven't been able to

shake the feeling that | something's missing

and I'm not talking | about the four year at the anteroom

Cherish is the word I'd use to | describe all the feelings that I have

I didn't hear for you inside

I don't know how many times | I wish that I had told you

I don't know how many times | I wish that I could hold you

I don't know how many times...

I wish that I could | mould you into someone...

I haven't seen you here before

I like that kind of woman

You're cute

Keep talking baby, | maybe you'll tell me something

I don't know about me

...I don't know how many times | I wish that I could hold you

I don't how many times I wish...

Arthur,... For all we know, | this is the guy that hired us

Now it's a two for one sale

So, I guess, what I'm trying to say is | that the perfect woman is

is pretty much in the eye of the beholder
