Coffee and Cigarettes Page #3

It's combining the two

and living in that place where they overlap.

A lot of people say it shows up in the music.

I don't know. I mean, it's...

Well, okay. Yeah, I can see that.

Yeah, okay. I think the organization

and the whole thing...

- The humanity, I guess.

- Yeah.

- The humanity of the thing. The regard.

- Yeah, the regard.

- I guess it's a big day for you, then.

- It is. It was a medical morning.

- Everybody's all right?

- Everybody's fine.

You've been here awhile, I see.

I've been here. Drinking a little coffee.

- Yeah, I see.

- I ordered you some.

You ordered for me?

I mean, is it cool? Is that cool?

Yeah, okay. Coffee, yeah.

- I could go for a coffee.

- Okay, man.

Come on, have some coffee.

Okay, coffee it is.

Are those your cigarettes?

No, they were just sitting here

when I got here.

- You don't smoke, do you?

- No. I gave it up.

- Not for me, either.

- Boy, enough of that.

That was enough, 25 big ones.

- Finished.

- Got the energy now.

Since I quit, I mean, just everything...

Yeah, you're focused.

- Zeroed in. Bang, you know?

- Me, too.

I feel sorry for suckers still puffing away,

you know?

- No willpower.

- No willpower. Pacifier.

Silly.

You know, the beauty of quitting is,

now that I've quit...

I can have one. Because I've quit.

I mean, it's just like jewelry.

You know, it's not really...

I don't even inhale.

You want to join me in one?

Yeah, since I quit. Okay.

- Now that you've quit, you can have one.

- Sure, yeah.

I can do that. All right.

Boy, thank you.

Yeah, you know what I mean?

Now that we've quit...

Cigarettes and coffee, man.

That's a combination.

Can't beat it.

We're really the coffee-and-cigarettes

generation, when you think about it.

You know what I mean? In the '40s,

it was the pie-and-coffee generation.

Like Abbott and Costello on TV, man.

They always wanted pie and coffee.

Yeah, like Abbott and Costello.

They were always ordering pie and coffee.

"Have some coffee.

Have some pie and coffee.

"What are you waiting for?"

You hang out here a lot?

This is my hangout.

I just wondered, 'cause I didn't see

anything of yours on the jukebox.

If you don't like it here, we could

go down to Taco Bell or something.

Maybe that's more your style.

What are you saying, man?

You're saying I'm a Taco Bell kind of guy?

No. I mean, if you don't like it here.

- You said you don't like it here.

- No, I didn't say that.

We could go to

the International House of Pancakes.

Maybe that's more up your alley.

I don't know.

I didn't say that. I don't wanna go

to the International House of Pancakes.

I'm comfortable.

Coffee is good, though, at IHOP.
