Ain't the way is gonna work out, girl.

'Cause if you left, it wouldn't be the same.

You'd take the flavor away.

You see, a guy waits all his goddamn life...

to pull off his best shot...

and he comes home like a goddamn general

who won the war.

And his woman says, "See you around."

How do you think I'd feel?

What do you think I'd do?

You'd kill yourself?

Sh*t, no. I'd kill you.

Put that little thing on, all right? Come on.

And don't stay in there

for f***ing 20 minutes, either.

Shut up!

Damn pissant!

Angus! Oh, my God!

Maria, where's that crinoline?

Is under that roll over there.

I just pressed it.

- Ms. Friml?

- Oh, yeah, you. What do you want?

I'm sorry for throwing you out the other day.

I was freaked out.

Those f***ing dancers.

I caught you at Tahoe, and let me tell you...

you are A-okay.

I mean, you got a great pair of lungs.

Get to the point.

I got this reunion coming in this week.

The usual old songs for old farts.

And you thought of me? Thanks.

I thought you might want to make

a couple of bucks.

Well, really I do. But my old man, he...

$225. And I will personally bring agents.

- You will?

- Agents. Agents.

- Yeah, I heard you.

- So?

- Can I think about it?

- But not long. 4:00 p.m.

- Okay, I'll call you.

- You hear me? 4:00 p.m.

- Say it.

- 4:
00 p.m. I'll call you. Thanks.

- I'll be hearing from you. Don't let me down.

- Okay. Bye.

What do you want for breakfast?

Don't.

What are you doing?

I feel it inside me. Is almost time.

Almost time for what, Harold?

- I'm moving in for the big kill.

- When?

I'm gonna be gone

for a couple of days, babe.

Where are you going, Harold?

Somewhere over the rainbow.

You gonna make a little offering to the gods

so they'll smile down on you?

Something like that.

You'd better get you some sleep, babe.

You look terrible.

Thanks, Harold.

Couple of days, then, Harold.

Tweety tweet tweet.

Hi.

Oh, not so terrible.

But Jesus, are you a slob.

Is comfortable.

Know the greatest thing about this place?

No, is not that. Is over here.

This beautiful big bed.

And over here, we got this

deluxe, giant mirror.

I gotta tell you,

there's more to life than furniture.

You know what I'm trying to say?

How'd you find out where I live?

Did you know you and I work

at the same place?

All I had to do was ask the lady

in Personnel. It wasn't hard.

What I want to know is,

how did you find out where I live?

Just lucky, I guess.

I musve made a pretty big hit

for you to go to all this trouble.

Oh, a great big hit.

- Good. Come here.

- No.

- Come on.

- No.

No, I mean it. No. Les get out of here.

Whas the matter, baby?

Motel rooms make you feel cheap?
