Grumpy Old Men Page #6

---

Some game last night! Double overtime.

-Blackhawks were killers, weren't they?

-Did you catch the game?

Oh, sure. You were with

the guys at the V.F.W.

Yeah, how was the turkey at the V.F.W.

this year, Chuckie?

The turkey this year...

...was delicious.

Come on!

We saw you!

What'd you do?

-What's it like in there?

-What'd she say?

Fellas!

Some experiences in life are too rich...

...and too beautiful to put into words.

What does that mean exactly?

Could have been either of you

if you just had the guts to ask.

-You and she?

-I'm not talking about sex, dummies.

Of course not.

Oh, I get it.

Your old pal failed you, Chuck?

Couldn't rise to the occasion?

Yes, the spirit was willing--

But the flesh was....

Weak.

If it wasn't sex, what was it?

It was an awakening.

Ariel reminded me that I was alive.

That I was a man full of energy,

love and passion.

It was like being young again.

If only for a moment.

Couldn't get it up, huh?

Get out of here, both of you.

Yeah, I'll see you.

So long.

Hey, boys.

That's not just a woman

living across your street.

She's an angel.

Angel, right.

Take it easy.

See you.

Holy moly!

Look at all the crap you....

Excuse me. The stuff you got here.

Well, it's my inspiration.

You did?

You're an artist?

I try.

I used to teach courses

in Expressionism at Berkeley.

But now I'm back to

the classics of literature.

Berkeley, that explains it.

Oh, my God!

What?!

Your TV. It's got no guts.

I took them out.

How could you do that

to a '54 Super Zenith?

This TV is a classic.

I could fix it for you

if you wanted me to.

That's what I used to do.

I was a TV repairman.

That's so sweet, Max, but...

...I think it works quite well...

...just the way it is.

How the hell does she see any shows?

Holy moly!

You met Ernest.

Who?

The model was my husband.

He sure wasn't pleased about

modeling in the nude.

Took quite a bit of prompting.

I must say.

He's...?

Passed on.

Five years ago.

Would you like some coffee?

Cream and sugar?

You moved around a lot

the last few years.

Yes, I think it's exciting

to experience new things...

...new places, and meet new people.

Like you.

Do you paint?

Paint? Me?

Sure do.

I paint the shed every spring.

-You get it?

-I get it.

I mean, you know...

...pictures, paintings.

What for?

Everyone needs some form of...

...release.

I fish.

Fish?

Fish?

Oh. Yeah. Fish.

I can see the beauty in that.

You can?

Miss Truax...

...would you honor me by accompanying

me to my ice shanty tomorrow?

I'd be honored.

See you tomorrow.

Yeah, I'm looking forward to it.

Be careful!
