You know, the one that goes
across the river to New York.
lt doesn't sound
like you take the ferry often.
You can bet your life l don't.
Don't you like Staten lsland?
Well, l've got nothing against it
personally, you know.
But, really, it kind of shortens
your breath. The air is lousy.
If you're not used to it,
it can get you.
That's right. l'm not used to it.
l don't like tropical climates.
There's one way around it.
Go to down to Canal Street and
Broadway, into an army surplus store.
You pick up a couple of gas masks, get
halfway across the river, put them on.
-You would?
-That's right.
Okay. l don't think l'd do it.
l tell you, l once saw
this guy back in 1 960.
You know that big snowfall we had?
Right in the middle of 1 4th
and Broadway, this guy's playing golf.
-Golf?
-l swear to God.
-Right in the street?
-ln the middle.
Wait a second, he says,
''The trouble with the world today. . .
. . .is that if a guy wants to play golf
in the street. . .
-. . .people stare at him. ''
-l don't believe you.
Would l--? l wouldn't lie to you.
You know how those knickers,
whatever you call them, and the hat. . .?
-The whole outfit? The whole thing?
-Right. Golf clubs, yeah.
That's crazy.
Yeah, well.
lt's kind of nice, though.
-Why?
-The guy did what he wanted to do, golf.
l guess so.
Should you always do
what you want to do?
Yeah, l think so.
-Do you?
-Yeah.
I don 't know, I hadn 't thought about it.
I guess so.
Thank you very much.
Ten minutes l've been talking.
Nobody pays me any attention, right?
Now maybe l can say something.
Listen, let me ask you guys something.
Why can't l walk out in the street?
No, don't answer me,
l'll tell you why l can't.
Because you owe everybody
in the world money.
Your friend owes everybody
in the world money.
l want to go to Chinatown.
l happen to like Chinese food, right?
l live right next door to Chinatown.
Biggest Chinatown in the world,
but l can't go.
Seven blocks, l can't walk.
l walk out of here, people jump out
of every block to get me when l walk.
So l may have to go to China
to get Chinese food.
So do me that favor. No borrowing
from Chinese people, okay? Good.
l only got one more thing to say.
Now, what are we gonna do tonight?
-Go to Chinatown.
-What, you haven't been listening to me?
l can't walk to Chinatown
because of you two.
l don't even like
what they put in the food.
-Makes you sick.
-You've eaten it before.
Yeah, and l got sick before,
so l don't eat it anymore.
l'll tell you what, let's go uptown.
Come on. l hear they got a new broad
uptown. We'll go and have some fun.
