The Palm Beach Story

...in case we miss the train or something.

We have the big place in Yonkers. Of course.

What'd he say?

He said "of course. "

We're from Texas originally.

Of course.

What'd he say?

He said "of course. "

Why does he keep sayin' the same thing

all the time? My husband's a little deaf.

Of course. Yes.

What'd he say?

He said it's as quiet as a tomb

here... just what we're lookin' for.

I don't mind a little life. We'll

be dead soon enough. Come in.

Concrete.

I said, "Come in. "

I'm fine, thanks. How are you? I hope

all the tenants aren't as disagreeable.

I can assure you they're not. The building

is very friendly, efficient and quiet.

She got in by mistake, but

she's leaving first thing in the morning.

What? I said she's leaving

the first thing in the morning.

Who? My wife? You going home

to see your mother?

What's that? Canary?

I love birds.

I said she is leaving

the first thing in the morning.

You don't have to shout, and your best

friend oughta tell you a little secret:

Just speak in a low, clear voice. I said she's leaving

the first thing in the morning. She got in by mistake.

But tomorrow

she flies away.

I understand it's a bird.

What about it? I like birds.

It's right here.

Duplex. What's the

ceiling so high up for?

That's what duplex means... the one floor up over

the... You don't keep the apartment very clean.

What's on the balcony? You see, the

former tenants aren't getting the service.

A little delinquency in the rent. What's

he say? I don't like him to talk to me.

He says the former tenants haven't been getting

any service. That's why the place is so dirty.

They didn't pay the rent.

I don't mind a little dirt.

That's the trouble with women... always

fussin' around lookin' for something to pick on.

- You can tell me later, Arthur.

- Never satisfied with things the way the Lord made 'em.

Why, dirt's as natural in this worid

as sin, disease,

storms, twisters, floods and cyclones.

Is there anything else you'd like to try? What

you doin' in the bathtub with a wrapper on?

I might ask you what you're doing in my

bathroom. I don't suppose you go with the flat.

Nah. That's too much to hope for. Thank

you. I'm glad you like my perfume too.

Huh? I said I'm glad

you like my perfume too.

You have a lovely, clear voice,

like a bell.

If I was married to you, I'd hear everything

you said almost, but you wouldn't enjoy it.

Besides, I'm already married.

So am I.

Me too. Anyway,

I'd be too old for ya.

"Cold are the hands of time

that creep along relentlessly,

"destroying slowly but without pity

that which yesterday was young.

"Alone, our memories resist this

disintegration and grow more lovely...

with the passing years. "

That's hard to say

with false teeth.

You're a funny old man.

I didn't get it, but you looked

very pretty when you said it.

I love birds.

You do?

Say, if they're showing the apartment and

you're still in it, you must be broke, huh?

Ah, it doesn't matter.

What did you say?

Yes. That varmint rentin'

it out from under ya?

Yes.

I know how you feel.

I was broke too when I was about your age,

but I didn't have a figure like you got.

I had to use my brains. You'll get over

it. You'll get over being young too.

Someday you'll wake up and find everything

behind ya. Gives ya quite a turn.

Makes ya sorry for a few of the things

ya didn't do while ya still could.

- Are you sorry?

- How much rent do you owe?

Well, that isn't really your business.

I can't hear you. You're mumbling.

I said it isn't really your business.

I'm in the sausage business.
