Sparrows Dance Page #2

I just figure you wanna get it

fixed as soon as possible.

I do wanna get it fixed

as soon as possible.

So, tomorrow is okay then?

You couldn't fix it now?

What happened?

It's your plumbing.

It's ancient.

It's actually very rare.

Meaning I'm gonna have to come

back tomorrow with the right parts.

but it's still gonna probably make

those noises unless I come back.

Most people have

more updated plumbing.

But in this place,

basically,

like, your toilet plumbing

is from the '40s.

It's filled with sediment,

delta mud, potato bag oil.

Really?

No.

But it might as well be.

So I'm gonna have to go

and find those parts.

Those are basically like antique Sandy Koufax parts.

But then, I'll be able to fix your toilet,

I'm pretty sure.

Let me get my purse.

Oh, no,

you don't have to pay me until tomorrow

and I'm not gonna

charge you any extra.

It's not your fault the building hasn't

updated its plumbing in 50 years.

I appreciate that.

No sweat.

You like The Three Stooges?

They're okay, I guess. Why?

No reason.

It just popped in my mind.

If you have any problems with that toilet,

you just give me a call.

You have your own website?

Don't you work for Harry's Plumbing Company?

I do, yes. But I like

to give my clients

my direct phone line

and my direct website.

Yeah, the social networks are

full of predators and perverts

So if you know anybody that's doing, like,

a wedding or a bar mitzvah,

let me know 'cause I play

for next to nothing.

I mean, jazz is my thing,

but I can play any kind of music.

Um, Polish music,

even polka music.

I don't know anyone getting

married or having a bar mitzvah.

No? Oh, that's okay.

I was just saying if you did, let me know.

I play the sax, and not

in a casual way either.

There's a clip of me playing at Smalls on that website.

Would you like some water?

Oh, no, I got to get

to another job.

I'm running a little late,

running my... Running my mouth.

Missing various plumbing rituals and whatnot.

But...

Save me a glass.

I'll enjoy it tomorrow.

Oh, f***.

Just a minute.

Hi.

Hi.

No work today?

I decided to

take the day off.

That all?

Yeah.

How'd you get up here?

Oh, door was

open downstairs.

I think somebody's moving something.

It's probably closed now.

I hope so.

May I come in?

Do you need anything?

I'll take that

glass of water.

Shouldn't be

too long today.

No?

I found those parts.

Took me a while

to find the parts,

but it shouldn't

be too long.

I'll be in the kitchen.

Okay, have some bologna.

It's done.

Just give me a call if anything

starts acting up with that toilet.

I don't think it will though,

it should be fine.

You see this?

This is what goes into your wall from the toilet.
