How are you?

How are you?

I'm fine.

I'm fine.

You're a Jewish boy, aren't you?

My mother and father are Jewish.

I see.

- You're taking my little girl to see David Boowie?

- Bowie.

Bowie.

You take care...

...of my girl.

You take care of my girl.

Now, of course,

I'm sure you've heard about the alphabet diet.

Now, that takes 26 weeks.

The first week,

you're allowed anything that begins with an "A."

And, then onto the second week,

you're allowed anything that begins with a "B."

There's only one problem.

You have to watch yourself carefully

because by the time you get to "P"...

...you might put on all the weight

you lost on "K."

Excuse me.

And then, when you get to "X,"

it's very difficult...

...because you start making up

your own spelling, like "X-Benedict"...

..."X-tra helpings."

So, I would not recommend that diet.

You go through my pockets now?

No.

Not yet. I owe Marty $10.

I think he likes you.

You think everyone likes me.

- They do.

- Oh, well.

Can I get you anything

before I start my study group?

Oh, God.

What honey? What's the matter?

Nothing. It's not even worth talking about.

What?

I was leaving my office and the boss comes in

with this pile of stuff and two assistants...

...says, "Clean this up for tomorrow morning."

"Clean this up." Now I'm a cleaning man.

- Will it take long?

- Take long? No, not if I work all night.

I'm just so tired, that's all.

I just don't know if I can stay awake.

I'm so tired.

Baby. Here.

I gave half to Richard, but...

...he panics, he gets so nervous.

I don't know if he can handle it.

Baby. Can I fix you a drink?

You know...

...I really think they're taking advantage of me.

- Want Campari and soda?

- Yeah, that would be nice.

Thanks.

You just...

You gotta draw a line and say, "No more.

"You can't go past this line."

Who's staying for dinner?

Honey, why are you shaving?

Why am I shaving?

What the hell is the matter with me?

Did you want this tie out?

No.

What do I want another tie for?

Honey, you're overtired.

I think that you should take a little nap

before you eat.

Come here and sit close to me.

What's this?

What do you mean? This is Joe's little boy.

I know it's Joe's little boy,

but what's he doing here?

S-M-l-L-E.

Where is his...

...M-O-M-M-Y?

She didn't tell me. It's just for one night.

- She didn't tell you?

- No, she didn't.

Don't frighten him.

What a cute little pee-pee.

You leave his little pee-pee alone.

His Daddy's little pee-pee started all this.

One, two, three. Hit it.

- Hello, gentlemen. How are we tonight?

- Fine, how you feeling, Andy?

How am I feeling? What do you mean?

Why shouldn't I be feeling fine?
