What'd I do anyway?

Excuse me.

- Hello.

- Hello.

- Hello!

- Hello.

Well, what are you doing

around here anyway?

I live here.

- Where?

- Room 7.

- Since when?

- Today.

Gee, that's great.

I wasn't figuring on this much

of a welcome.

You're welcome.

What's happened to you?

Last time, you were ready for the river.

That's over now. I'm fine.

I haven't changed.

I'm the same as I was before.

- only in a different way.

- I see.

- Well, I have to go up now.

- Yeah, so do I.

Say, you happen to be over around

Columbus Circle lately this week?

No.

Why don't you go up there

sometime.

- What for?

- oh, look around.

- A t what?

- Different things.

Such as what?

Different signs.

- Signs?

- Sure.

- Don't you ever look at signs?

- I suppose.

Take my word. If you go up there

around Columbus Circle...

...you'll see something.

Gladys.

Is it possible youve been out

in the sun too much today?

- Well, not me personally, no.

- What?

Is that your room, seven?

- You like to see it? My room?

- All right.

Not really settled down yet.

- What kind of view is it from here?

- oh, enchanting.

What's a good place

to eat around here?

- Room nine.

- I meant for me.

Glad to have you anytime.

I couldn't do that,

unless you let me take you out-

Sure. Why not?

- Well, what about tonight?

- okay.

- Fine.

- You wanna see my room?

Sure thing.

My view wasn't so beautiful

last week...

...but this week it's sensational.

Notice anything?

No. What?

What's the matter

with your eyesight?

Nothing.

You got any ideas for after dinner?

I thought it would be nice

to go over to Columbus Circle...

...and sit around.

Well, sure, if you want to.

ut that doesn't sound like

entertainment to me.

- Wait and see.

- Gladys?

- I-

- Yes?

oh, excuse me.

- Did you get your message?

- No.

I left it by the phone.

You have to call Mr. A dams.

- The third?

- No, he only called twice.

Excuse me.

I guess you two

are pretty old friends, huh?

oh, yes, indeed.

I hear you have a movie machine

in there.

oh, that's right.

I'll show you some

fascinating documentaries.

Don't do me no favours.

Pay your rent 5:
00 Fridays...

...no radio after 11,

and we'll get along fine.

Check.

Well, sure, but I mean,

what's the point, Mr. A dams?

Well, I know, but it's not

a question of any deal.

Well, sure, I'm open-minded.

No. Why should I have

anything against you?

What kind of a break?

okay, 7:
30.

Goodbye.

Yes?

oh, look, about tonight,

I'm sorry, but I can't.

It's sort of business,

you know what I mean.

Well, sure, if it's business.

Well, maybe tomorrow night.

No. I have to go to Westfield

for a couple days. Family stuff.
