So, give me a call.

lt'd be great to see you.

"Dear Mayor Bloomberg,

"l write as

a concerned citizen

that has finally had enough

"of the abominable

traffic noise that has

engulfed the city.

"lf you placed

a police officer

"at strategically

chosen corners of Manhattan,

"it would result in

the needed employment

of crime fighters,

"less crime and trafficking,

and a lower contingent

of horn-honkers.

"lf you're into green. . ."

And who isn't?

". . .it'll make for

a significant reduction

in noise pollution.

"lf they can do it in LA,

a car culture if

ever there was one,

"l'm confident we can do it

here in Manhattan."

lt's true.

No one really honks here.

Yeah. ln LA,

they understand the horn

is for emergencies only.

ln New York,

it's a constant.

Yeah.

l don't know.

l don't really recognize

New York anymore, you know?

"You might be

interested to know

"that in the relatively

recently acquired

state of Hawaii,

"there's a law on the books

that prohibits the honking

of horns entirely.

"Yours in hopes

of green sound,

Roger Greenberg."

When did you get in?

Only Monday.

You're the first

person l called.

No, l didn't mean. . .

No, l know.

l was just saying.

Right.

How long you staying for?

About six weeks.

Can you imagine

going to Vietnam?

What, to fight?

Well, to fight, too,

but l just meant now.

My brother and his wife

are there on vacation.

l don't know.

Some people like to travel.

That's my brother's

wife's daughter, Sara.

My step-sister?

Niece.

She's at UC Santa Cruz.

Uh, no, thanks, man.

l don't really

drink anymore.

Okay.

Yeah, it's for the best.

l've got into

these Arnold Palmers.

lced tea, lemonade.

Yeah, l don't have that.

l thought l'd told you.

l guess l think we

talk more than we do.

The beard is cool.

Yeah.

You know,

it's a winter beard.

l probably shouldn't

be on the table here.

Maybe don't sit

on the speaker.

Oh, sorry.

So, what do you

want to do today?

Um, Beller's having

a barbeque, which means,

you know. . .

Oh, what's he up to?

He directs television.

He calls me up with

computer questions.

What a dick.

He always offers to pay.

Yeah, still rude.

Let's not do that.

Uh. . .

What else, man?

We could get

a drink at a bar,

we could stay here.

They have videos.

Yeah.

l think l saw Mannequin.

And, uh, Gung Ho?

l remember that

being funny.

Gung Ho's good.
