The Odd Couple Page #3

America lights up.

I'll call his wife.

I thought he looked edgy

the last couple of weeks.

Didn't you think he looked edgy?

No. I thought you looked edgy.

Frances. How are you? Oscar.

Yeah. Yeah, I just heard.

Tell her not to worry.

You know women.

Listen, Frances, the most

important thing is not to worry.

Oh. She's not worried.

Frances, do you have any idea

where he could be?

You what? You're kidding.

Oh, no. I...I didn't know.

Yeah. No, he never told me. Yeah.

All right. Yeah.

Listen, Frances, you sit tight,

and the minute I hear anything,

I'll let you know.

All right. OK. Goodbye.

You going to tell us,

or do we hire

a private detective?

They broke up.

Who?

Who? Felix and Frances who.

They broke up.

The entire marriage is through.

You're kidding.

After 12 years?

They were such a happy couple.

He'll go to pieces.

He'll try something crazy.

That's all he talked about...

his wife and kids.

He'll kill himself.

You hear what I'm saying?

He'll kill himself!

Stop being a cop

for two minutes!

Where did he go?

He went to kill himself.

Are you serious?

She said he didn't

want to do it at home

because the kids were sleeping.

Why?

Because Felix is a nut.

Did he say, "I'm going

to kill myself"?

I don't know.

She didn't read it to me.

He left a note?

No. He sent a telegram.

A suicide telegram?

Who sends a suicide telegram?

Felix the nut, that's who.

Can you imagine getting it?

She even has to

tip the kid a quarter.

Maybe he's bluffing.

We get these every day.

All they want is sympathy.

We got a guy who

calls every Saturday

from the George

Washington Bridge.

You never can tell

what a guy will do

when he's hysterical.

they don't jump.

What about the 10th time?

They jump. He's right.

There's a possibility.

Not with Felix.

He's too nervous to kill himself.

He wears his seat belt

in a drive-in movie.

If you're going to

kill yourself,

where's the safest place

to do it?

With your friends, right?

Open the door!

He may be hysterical.

Let's play it nice and easy.

Like they do

to those guys on a ledge.

What do we say?

Nothing.

Are you through

with this discussion?

He could have hung himself

in the hall.

Vinnie, open the door.

Remember, like we

don't know nothing.

Oh, hi, Felix.

Hi.

Hey, fellas.

Hi, Felix.

Hi, Felix.

How's the game going?

Good.

Very nice.

Good.

Good, good.

Sorry I'm late.

Any...Any ginger ale left?

Ginger ale?

No, I don't think so.

I got some root beer.

Nope. Felt like a ginger ale.

Somehow, I don't feel

like a root beer...

tonight.

What's the bet?

You bet a quarter.

It's up to Murray.

Murray, what do you say?

Murray?

Murray!
