Some guys say you gotta get something

that belongs to him.

Get a piece of him,

like he's got a piece of you.

Come on. What is this, voodoo?

Kid, is all magic.

What do you think this business is, anyway?

Hot streak, cold streak, lady luck.

Except for one thing.

The odds are supposed to be

with the house.

Yeah, supposed to be.

- Here you go.

- I don't feel like driving.

I come home with all that damn money...

and you look at me like

you were sucking a green persimmon.

I hate that lousy job!

You're breaking my chops.

What the hell else can you do?

Fix me another drink.

Harold, why don't you just

fix yourself another drink?

Whas got into you?

You don't love me anymore, do you?

I'm sick and tired of being your dishrag!

And I'm gonna get even.

- Yeah? Thas a threat?

- Yeah. Thas a threat.

You got a short memory, girl.

You start in on me. Go on.

I'll break your goddamn jaw.

You want mashed potatoes, Harold?

Or do you want fried potatoes, Harold?

Go on. There's the door.

You think I'd walk out with my back to you?

I'm not that stupid.

Go on. Keep on going.

- Till you come find me, like the last time?

- Well, is a free country.

You didn't have to come back.

Harold, what do you call 12 stitches?

An engraved invitation?

I was drunk.

- You drunk now?

- No!

But is beginning to sound

like a goddamn good idea!

Angus, is the pigeon.

Whas he doing here?

What if Harold comes back? Oh, my God.

- Excuse me, Miss.

- Go away. I don't need a vacuum cleaner.

Well, actually you do,

but I'm not selling one.

What are you doing in here?

Get out of here. What do you want?

I just want some water.

My radiator sprung a leak.

- Well, you got any?

- Yeah.

Help yourself, I guess.

Only make it snappy, okay?

- So how come you live way out here?

- I don't. I'm a mirage.

Yeah, that was my first impression

when you came to the door.

I said to myself,

"This is too good to be true."

You're overflowing.

Sometimes is hard to stop.

- Thanks.

- You're welcome.

- Say, how about a beer?

- Thas no good for a radiator.

- I thought it might start your motor.

- I haven't got a motor.

You will.

Well, drink it on your way out of here,

all right? I got things to do.

I suppose you're wondering what a guy like

me is doing here at 10:00 in the morning?

I'm a bird watcher.

Around here is a real good place

to find rare ones.

Like vultures.

- Seen any?

- No.

You don't look like no bird watcher to me.

Sure I do. You probably just never

knew one before, thas all.

Hey, I can do bird calls, too, you know.

You know, I was state champ in '76.

You want to hear me do one? Les see.

- Want to hear me do a Baltimore Oriole?
