My Sister Eileen Page #3

I`ll tear it apart first.

-Having trouble?

-Yes, a little.

Well, allow me.

Easy does it. Hot, isn`t it?

Yeah, but you`ll cool off.

-Wasn`t that nice?

-Fresh guy.

Come on, Eileen. Now you take the overnight

case, and l`ll take the typewriter.

Well, this is the last one on the list.

Ruth, no matter what it is,

if it`s got a bed in it, let`s take it.

Gee, I had no idea rents were so high.

This doesn`t look like much, does it?

Good evening.

Good evening, my dear young ladies.

Am I wrong in presuming that you are

looking for a haven in this troubled world?

-No. No, we`re just looking for a room.

-Seek no more. You have reached your goal.

-We have?

-Absolutely.

-How high up is it?

-lt is not up. It`s down.

Hey.

Follow me, young ladies, and I will show you

the best value for your money

you can buy in Greenwich Village.

Come in, my dear young ladies, enter.

Isn`t it just what

you`ve been dreaming about?

Come in, come in. Don`t be bashful.

Make yourself right at home.

Thank you. It`s really very...

But, you see, as yet we haven`t decided

whether or not we want to...

Wait.

Note the exquisite imitation fireplace

and these big comfortable day beds.

Just look at that interesting

and exciting dormer window.

Look, life passes up and down

in front of you like a regular parade.

What more could a young person

with a typewriter want?

Am I wrong in presuming that

you are an author?

-Haven`t you anything higher up?

-Higher up. Higher up.

My dear young lady,

why don`t you let me show you the place

-before you raise a lot of objections?

-Yes, Ruth, let Mr...

Appopolous.

Yes, show us the place.

You have a head on your shoulders,

young lady.

And now, let me point out

a few features of this beautiful suite.

A, it is summer.

B, it is at least 30 degrees cooler down here

than anywheres higher up.

C, it is only $45 a month.

$45? Thank you very much, Mr. Appopolous.

We`ll let you know. Come on, Eileen.

Ruth, couldn`t we stay here for a few days

and then if we like it we can...

I`ll do better than that.

You can have the place for a month, on trial,

at absolutely no cost to you.

Then if you are not 100% satisfied,

I will give you back your first month`s rent.

-The whole month?

-The whole month.

And August has 31 days.

Do you mind if I go outside

and talk it over with my sister?

What is there to talk over?

You see the place, you know the price.

I`ll tell you what, we`ll go down to

the bus terminal and pick up our baggage.

What for? Why have I got a handyman?

Jenson. Jenson.

Wait a minute,

we haven`t decided anything yet.

Now, I am going to show you

where everything is.

In there, we have a model kitchenette,
