Ooh, boy, am I stupid.

Boy, am I a pushover.

No, not a pushover exactly.

It's just that you're too...

Well, I don't know.

You just keep on...

Yeah, you're a pushover. If he stole

your purse, why don't you call the cops?

They can always pick him up. Girl, do you know

carryin' pocketbooks?

Why'd he do it? Everything

he ever wanted, I bought him:

$11 shirts,

$79 Italian silk suits.

What'd I do wrong?

I'd even get up in the middle of the

night and buy him his meatball sandwiches.

Boy, did he love

those meatball sandwiches.

Well, I have had it

up to here with that creep.

Go, baby, go.

Now you're talkin'.

He can go slip and slide his greasy head

on somebody else's shoulder.

I'm finished!

I'm through, do you hear me?

I'm tired of buyin' him

pointed shoes...

and his trips to Florida

and his three-horse parlays.

Think he is,

shovin' girls into lakes?

Oh, boy, am I through givin'.

Neil Simon

Marvin Neil Simon (born July 4, 1927) credited as Neil Simon, is an American playwright, screenwriter and author. He wrote more than 30 plays and nearly the same number of movie screenplays, mostly adaptations of his plays. He has received more combined Oscar and Tony nominations than any other writer.Simon grew up in New York City during the Great Depression, with his parents' financial hardships affecting their marriage, giving him a mostly unhappy and unstable childhood. He often took refuge in movie theaters where he enjoyed watching the early comedians like Charlie Chaplin. After a few years in the Army Air Force Reserve, and after graduating from high school, he began writing comedy scripts for radio and some popular early television shows. Among them were Sid Caesar's Your Show of Shows from 1950 (where he worked alongside other young writers including Carl Reiner, Mel Brooks and Selma Diamond), and The Phil Silvers Show, which ran from 1955 to 1959. He began writing his own plays beginning with Come Blow Your Horn (1961), which took him three years to complete and ran for 678 performances on Broadway. It was followed by two more successful plays, Barefoot in the Park (1963) and The Odd Couple (1965), for which he won a Tony Award. It made him a national celebrity and "the hottest new playwright on Broadway." During the 1960s to 1980s, he wrote both original screenplays and stage plays, with some films actually based on his plays. His style ranged from romantic comedy to farce to more serious dramatic comedy. Overall, he has garnered 17 Tony nominations and won three. During one season, he had four successful plays running on Broadway at the same time, and in 1983 became the only living playwright to have a New York theatre, the Neil Simon Theatre, named in his honor. more…
