Folks in Siam do it

Think of Siamese twins

dSome Argentines...

Nice body.

Right, Charley?

She's um...

She's got, um...

Good phrasing.

- Her phrasing, it's good.

- First thing I noticed

when she came out.

Let's hear her phrase

a little more.

One more song?

One song, one encore,

one reprise. That's it.

Electric eels

I might add, do it

Although it shocks them

I know

Why ask if shad do it

Oh waiter bring me shad roe

dln shallow shoal

English soles do it

Goldfish in the privacy

of bowls do it

Let's do it

Let's fall...

In love

Come on, baby

There's not much to it

Just come along with me boy

And get right down to it

Let's fall...

In love

Let's just do it

Let's just do it

Love'll come later

Feels so good

Yeah

Ladies and gentlemen,

Miss Vicki Anderson.

I gotta get going.

Charley, where's your manners?

Tell the lady how much

you appreciate her phrasing.

Murder, he says d

Sammy, ask if the lady will join

some admirers for a drink.

- Phil...

- She'd get a kick out of meeting you.

- Okay, Sam?

- Can do.

If the man says

"can do," can do!

Is that the

language of love

ls there something he said

Takes me in his arms

is there something he said

The meaning ofhis charms

is there something he said

ls that the language oflove

No good. Bad idea.

No can do.

What do you mean?

She won't have a drink with us?

- She's seeing a guy. She's spoke for.

- Let me talk to her.

- Leave it to me.

- Forget it!

She's Bugsy Siegel's girl.

- That name was not mentioned.

- Let's go.

What's wrong with asking her

to have one drink?

Nothin'. So they'll bury

us all in the same box.

Pay the check.

Leave a very big tip.

- I just want to say hello.

- Without a tongue?

They don't call Bugsy "Bugsy"

'cause he's friendly.

- Grab his arms.

- Come on.

Don't look back.

They got cameras in the ceiling.

You don't think that girl

has something special?

You're just nervous. Suddenly,

any gorgeous girl looks good.

You don't think

that girl is beautiful?

I thought she was

a little common.

Adele is pretty.

This girl...

... Will bring on

nobody's murder but his own

Hard to say.

Charley, you gotta

come with us.

- We need you for the group discount.

- Get in the car.

It's too late to

make it back to L.A.

Give the girls

at the ranch a break.

- I want to get back to Adele.

- Charley!

- Bust a couple of broncos for me.

- See ya at the altar.

Can you spot me a twenty?

You're a lucky man to have

a real lady waiting for you.

Poor slobs like us...

we've got to kill three days

humping 12 crazy amazons!

See ya later, Charley.

- It's only a dime to change your mind.

- Knock 'em dead.

- We miss you already. Come on.

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…
