off and head back tonight.

I just miss you too much.

What did he say? Birds were chirping.

I couldn't hear that.

I love you.

Bye, honey.

He's joking, that's what it is.

He's joking. Charley.

Don't tell jokes. You're not funny.

We're funny, not you.

It's no joke.

I'm going back.

Aw, Charley!

I'll take you there.

I'll pay for the weekend.

- I'm going back to L.A. Tonight.

- Charley.

- I miss her, guys.

- Tell him what he's missing.

On my mother's life,

these are not women, they're goddesses.

- Am I lying, Sammy?

- Goddesses, Charley.

Any of them could marry a prince

or a duke if they could get to Europe.

Big women, six-two, six-three.

There were 12 of them.

It's like a mountain of tits.

Hey, the tire, the tire!

You guys don't get it.

I'm getting married in six days.

I'm tired of screwing around. That's

all I've been doing my whole life.

Can I ask you a question?

Are you hot for Adele?

I just got finished telling you,

I'm nuts for her.

We're not talking about nuts.

Nuts is a different topic.

We are now talking about hot.

- Hot!

- Different than nuts.

I've had hot before.

Hot always got me into trouble.

Hot always cost me a bundle

of dough and a kick in the ass.

- I want a woman I can depend on.

- Why can't you have both?

Because you can't.

You ever hear of crimes of passion?

A hot woman

screws up your mind.

Guy sees the woman

he's in love with...

in bed with another guy,

he writes her off.

- He catches some guy screwing

the woman he's hot for...

She's done!

We did talk Charley

into stopping for a few drinks...

figuring we could persuade him

tojoin us at the Pick-A-Daisy.

You can lead

a man in love to water...

but you gotta drag him

to horse around.

Dd

Feeling lucky.!

Feeling lucky.!

Watch your hands.!

Keep your hands back.!

He's on the phone again.

We should have killed

this romance when it started.

A man in love is a man

who dumps his friends.

I'm going to miss Charley.

Fellas, I have found

the one girl in a million.

You ask me if I'm hot for her,

I'm better than hot.

I am crazy, nuts,

absolutely insane for her.

That's great. Maybe one day

you'll be hot for her, too.

And now here's a young lady

I know you're going to enjoy.

Adele wants to put

my picture on the ceiling...

so it's the first thing

she sees in the morning.

I wish we didn't have

to wait six day...

Birds do it

Bees do it

Even educated fleas do it

Let's do it

Let's fall in love

Sometimes it's good to wait.

- Who is that?

- For example.

Let's do it Let's do it

Who is she, Sammy?

Must be a new kid.

Never saw her before.

The Dutch in

old Amsterdam do it

Not to mention the Finns

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…
