Ooh, I hope your tight Italian

pants choke you to death.

Get me a taxi!

Ursula, stop acting

like a child.

Vittorio Vitale!

Hey! That's Vittorio Vitale,

the Italian movie star!

Ursula, I can

explain everything.

Don't touch me.

We're through.

I hate you. Do you hear me?

I hate you.

- She really knows him!

- Ursula, I merely said hello to that girl. Hello!

That's all! I do not want to discuss it.

Now you can't walk out

on me like this.

I can't?

Well, just watch me.

Just watch me. Watch!

Watch! You're not watching.

Where's my taxi?

Taxi!

Taxi!

You are coming back inside. I am not!

Oh, yes, you are.

No, I'm not!

Yes, you are.

Ow!

Ursula! Ursula!

Ursula!

Oh, scusi, signorina.

Scusi.

My pleasure.

Are you busy tonight?

Hey, he wants to know

if you're busy tonight.

No, you.

- Yes, you.

- Me?

- Are you busy tonight?

- What time?

Right now. Right now

is very good for me.

Get in.

I'm with him.

Oh, that girl.

She's driving me crazy.

These wild fits of jealousy. I can't

stand it any longer. She's impossible.

That was my first impression.

Childish, neurotic, selfish.

That was my

second impression.

Well, it's finished.

She's just not worth it.

Well, on the other hand, you know,

she's not so bad in the looks department.

Ah, yes.

Yes, you're right.

She is very beautiful. Well, I mean,

if you go for that sort of thing.

No, you are right.

You are absolutely right.

She is... gorgeous.

I think I just

screwed myself up.

Um, uh, I'm with him.

- Who's that with Vittorio?

- She doesn't look familiar.

- Who can she be?

- What happened to Ursula?

- Who is it? - Who

is it? - Who is it?

- Who is it? - Who

is it? - Who is it?

- Who is it?

- Who is it?

It's me.

Wow! This place sure is

crawlin' with celebrities.

I'm the only person here

I never heard of.

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah!

Ooh

Yeah, yeah

Ooh

Yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah

Give me yeah

Yeah

Oh yeah Oh yeah

Oh, yeah

Oh, yeah

Excuse me, Signor Vitale.

There is a phone call.

It's Ursula.

Look how she knows me.

No matter where I go,

she knows how to find me.

Well, I know her too. She'll cry and

plead with me to come to her apartment.

What should I do? Be

magnanimous and forgive her...

or be aloof?

Aloof sounds good.

You think so?

The aloofer the better.

I am not here.

Now I really feel great.

I could eat a horse.

I was only kidding.

Now we dance. Yeah, I

wasn't hungry anyway.

Oh!

Oh, damn it.

I'm so sorry. Really

I am. It's all right.

It's all right.

Where are we? My place. Come on.

Your place?

Hey, wait. Just a second.

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…
