- We'll mail you the bill.

He said get in the groove

dHe said keep on the move

- He says murder d

- Murder!

- Murder!

- Murder!

Murder, murder, murder

that's what he said

Is that clock right?

Guess so.

You're the first one in Vegas

who ever asked me the time.

Another

two-cents-plain?

Sure.

Why not?

How ya doin', Charley?

Well, I'm doin'

just fine, thanks.

Lady's talkin' to me, chief.

Oh, oh!

My name is Charley, too.

Honest.

I saw your show.

All three shows,

as a matter of fact.

- You're very good.

- The lady likes to drink alone.

Why don't you show her

a little professional courtesy, Charley?

I'm not trying to pick you up.

I'm getting married in six days.

I couldn't be happier for you.

Do we have any peanuts?

Yeah.

- Thanks.

- Yes, sir...

finally gonna tie the old knot.

Never thought it

would happen to me.

I'm up here on

a bachelor party.

Quiet party.

I left early. Me and the guys,

we really went wild.

I was going to drive back

to L.A., but I decided...

to stay and see your last show.

Is there an album of yours

that I could buy?

Because if there isn't, then

somebody better open their eyes...

because I think you have

one hell of a future.

- You in show business?

- No, toothpaste.

No wonder you smile so much.

My name's Pearl...

Charley Pearl.

Gus, got a talker down here.

I'm in the columns

now and then.

Really?

Selling toothpaste?

I race cars, speedboats...

play a little polo.

You like polo?

I would have thought a guy

getting married in six days...

would behave himself.

- Am I out of line?

- Your foot's on the edge, pal.

Excuse me.

This section just closed.

Move to the other end of the bar,

we'd be glad to pick up your tab.

- Have I offended someone?

- I don't own this hotel.

See, no one's complaining.

Look, I asked you nice once.

Second time gets ugly.

He's harmless, Gus.

He's getting married

in six days.

I just want to make sure

the guy shows up.

You got two minutes

to finish your drink.

Then you run out of'em.

Those guys must think

you're pretty important.

- My fan club.

- Listen...

I know some influential

people in your business.

Is there any way

they could sort of...

- get in contact with you?

- Nope.

Don't go yet.

Don't touch, Charley.

Those guys know how

to turn wives into widows.

I mean it when

I say you're good.

You should be making records,

playing big clubs.

You should be in the movies.

Charley, I'm gonna save your life.

Do you know who I am?

Yeah, Bugsy Siegel's

girlfriend.

If they hear you call him Bugsy,

they'll turn you...

into a roulette wheel.

I'm not brave

and I'm not stupid.

I've got 30 seconds

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…
