You want to know about the guy I live with?

Oh, my God.

I hate to think what would happen

if he caught us together. Jesus.

Whoa. Okay. I'm gone.

But that still wasn't the question.

What was the question?

Magic? All right!

I'm sorry, babe.

- No, I ain't drunk.

But I got a hangover.

I'll just get you a cup of coffee,

all right, babe?

You know what I want.

- Harold, I'm not in the mood.

- Only one of us has to be.

Why don't you put on that baby doll outfit

I got you in Vegas? Go on.

- I suppose you want the wig, too.

- Why not?

- What the hell are you doing in there?

- I can't find the baby dolls.

I must have put them in the dirty laundry.

Oh, Harold.

- Where are you going?

- I just want to talk to you, hon.

- Harold, tell me something. If you win big...

- When I win big.

Yeah, when you win big. Then what?

I don't know. Les go to Acapulco.

Oh, Harold. Not the same old story again.

Let me just try to put myself...

inside that screwed-up mind of yours

for a minute, Bonita.

Feel free, Harold.

The thought thas going

through that little blonde head of yours...

is when Harold busts this patsy,

he's gonna be so goddamn happy...

he won't miss you if you leave.
