...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.
