He thinks I'm insulting you.

I'm offering you.

Hell, look!

What's the matter?

If I went to one of

those fancy restaurants...

I'd probably tip the headwaiter,

the waiter, the busboy...

and a hundred bucks

goes flying down the drain.

And I couldn't have any more fun

than I could with Jeannie here.

- Let go of my girl.

- Dickie, wait. Please.

Please. Please. Please.

Don't be shocked.

It's like this.

Fred is a very sad man.

- Now, you

- Will you let me finish!

Because you're a man

who doesn't say what you mean very well.

What you meant was this was a wonderful evening,

and you enjoy my house and you like me.

But like you said, you're crude.

I'm sorry.

Honey, I was only tryin' to be funny.

- I thought you said you were trying to be funny.

- Well, you go with your

You go!

If you're in such a damned hurry.

My reputation's at stake here!

Ah.

Good night.

Good night, Jeannie.

[Whispers]

I'm sorry.

I don't know how you do it.

Well, I just

I just close my eyes, and I

I see how much liquor I can swallow.

[Blows Nose]

[Sighs]

I pray that I'll die and be...

martyred by the church

for my service to humanity.

You're a lovely girl.

I'm too old to be lovely.

And I haven't got a heart of gold.

The nights are long, and Little Orphan Annie

of Hard Knocksville gets tough, you know.

I think I'd better go.

Then go ahead! Get the hell out!

Beat it, snowball!

- Right?

- Right.

You're on your own again.

[Laughing]

Yeah. Uh-huh.

Mm-hmm.

Uh-huh.

[Door Hinges Squeak]

[Woman]

Uh-huh.

Uh-huh.

Come here.

Well, how did you find that out?

It's very important, but I don't think

there's anything you can do about it.

- Maria, I want to talk to ya.

- Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

Louise, I just came home from the office.

Yes, I had a very hard day,

and something important came up. Can...

she call you back later?

Uh-huh.

- Uh-huh.

- [Chuckling]

Yeah?

Uh-huh.

[Laughing]

Uh-huh.

Louise, we'll call you back later.

Good-bye.

I'm gonna have a drink.

You kill me.

- Yeah? Why do I kill ya?

- [Laughing]

Why do I kill ya?

Why do I kill ya, huh?

Why? What do you want to drink?

Whatever it is,

I want it on the rocks, straight and dirty...

because I feel very, very bitchy tonight.

Well, I feel very, very bitchy too.

That makes two of us.

Blue Monday for me today.

All day the phone rang and rang.

"Hello, Maria?" "Good-bye, Maria."

- "Hello, darling. Good-bye, darling."

- Hello, darling. [Chuckles]

- Your sense of humor's going to

destroy our marriage someday.

- I wasn't trying to be funny.

- [Chuckles]

- Listen, Maria, go get me a cigarette, will ya?

Ooh. We're out. I'm sorry.

I smoked myself silly today.
