Warm milk. If I'm relaxing,
there's no point in being casual about it.
- What bed you got, you don't sleep?
- A cot from the Salvation Army for $8.
No wonder. Feel that.
Go on, take a feel.
You know what I paid
for the mattress? 59 bucks.
I'd never be without a good bed.
You're in it a third of your life.
- You must lead a very straight-laced life.
- OK. Half.
You get a good bed,
you'll stop walking so much.
Until I stop walking, I can't afford
to make my bedbugs comfortable.
- Vicious circle.
- Bedbugs?!
Among other things, yeah.
Lawyer or no lawyer,
you're not working, Jerry?
Getting unstuck from a piece
of flypaper can be very hard work.
No, no.
I know why I'm drinking this.
Why are you?
- I got an ulcer, in the duodenum.
- Serious?
went out with the vapours.
Isn't that a man's disease nowadays?
- Well, I got it.
- Which are you, by the way?
The old-fashioned type or the manly,
same rules for me as for you?
Why? What's the difference?
I drink this and go or stay all night.
You don't exactly lead up to things,
do you?
Who's Mr America? Is that your ex?
Wally wasn't around long enough to snap
a picture. That's Larry, my partner.
Somehow there's less of you here.
Well, ulcers you put on weight.
Supposed to eat six meals a day.
The last haemorrhage, I'd put on 18lbs!
- The last?
- I hope. I've got just so much blood.
- How many have you had?
- Two.
When I never looked healthier, they
operated on me for something different!
Appendicitis. No kidding,
I'm a physical wreck, practically.
Your physique, wrecked though it may be.
That's what's wrong with me.
What's wrong with you?
Nothing wrong with me except
of course our problem.
- Make up our minds.
- About what?
Am I staying over? I appreciate
the invitation but I don't think I'll insist.
I don't get it, Jerry.
First, you can't decide whether to eat
with me, then it's into bed. How come?
Just testing. How will I know
what to think till I hear what I say?
Is that the way you decide everything,
in your head?
It saves a lot of false moves.
How do you decide things?
Not in my head. A couple of false moves
might get you further.
Let's not rush. Let's examine
what we'd be getting into.
Who said yes yet? Is this some new line,
supposed to be putting me in the mood?
- You mean it's not?
- Oh, boy!
All right, try a more conventional
approach, a little soft music.
- Something I've missed.
- (soft music)
- You haven't got a radio, even?
- I haven't got a television set either.
But everybody's got a radio.
You can get a radio for 19.95.
- Jerry, are you broke?
