Barefoot in the Park Page #4

Why is it windy

in here?

I don't feel a draft.

I said wind.

There's a brisk northeasterly wind

blowing in here.

Don't get sarcastic.

I'm not getting sarcastic.

I'm getting chapped lips.

How can there be wind...

Aha!

How's this

for an answer?

There's a hole

in the skylight.

Paul,

don't get excited.

We'll plug it up

for tonight.

How?

That's 20 feet high.

Fly over in a plane

and drop something in.

It's only one night.

It's not that cold.

You know what it's like

in February at 3 A.M.?

It's ice-cold freezing.

It's not going

to be freezing.

It's going to be cloudy

with a light snow...

What? What? What?

Light what?

Snow.

Snow?

It's going to snow

tonight?

Hmm?

In here?

They're wrong as often

as they're right.

I'm going to be shoveling snow

in my living room.

First of all,

it's just a little hole.

Secondly,

what do you want me to do?

Go to pieces...

like me.

It's natural.

Paul...

I have a better idea.

I'm going to keep you warm.

And there's no charge

for electricity.

All right.

I can't do this.

Do you think

Corie would be upset

if I just popped up

and said hello?

Upset with

her own mother?

Why? I do it

all the time.

They're still practically

on their honeymoon.

She's probably dying

for your advice.

Not Corie.

She gives her own advice.

All right,

let's go home.

I'll just be 10 minutes.

No longer. I'll be circling

the block.

I see I haven't got

much of a law career ahead of me.

Good.

I hope we starve.

I hope they find us dead

in each other's arms.

"Frozen skinny lovers

found on 10th Street. "

Then we are in love again?

Yes,

we're in love again.

It's the bed.

It's the bed.

Yes.

I hope it's the bed.

Bloomingdale's?

Surprise!

Oh, no.

Your mother?

I invited her

for Tuesday.

I can't entertain her.

I've got court in the morning.

She's going to think

we're Gypsies

living in an empty store.

Five minutes ago,

this place was paradise.

Suddenly,

it's Cannery Row.

She doesn't

understand, Paul.

She has a different

set of values.

She's practical,

not young like us.

I'm 26

and cold as hell.

Sorry.

What?

Promise me one thing.

Don't tell her

about the rent.

If she asks you,

tell her you're not sure.

I have to know

what my rent is.

I'm a college graduate.

Can't you lie for me?

You don't have

to tell her it's 125.

How much is it,

then?

75, all right?

$75.63 a month, including gas

and electricity.

Paul, will she

believe that?

Anybody

would believe that.

It's the 125

that's hard to swallow.

Yes? Hello.

Yes, it is.

You what?

Thank you very much

for calling.

Furniture's not coming

till tomorrow.

They're sending up

a mattress

and some blankets
