As Good as It Gets (1997) Edit

A big... sweaty wad of money.

A compliment is something nice about somebody else.

A couple of female slaves?

A decaying human body, and you have to hold a hankie to your face...

A lift. Okay.

A little easy, Mr. Udall?

A lot of things I have to find out here.

A personal question.

A pill really helps.

A second look at shows that are always worth a second look.

About me.

Absolutely.

Actually, I don't think so.

Again with Nick at Nite's Classic TV Rewind.

Ah, we're all gonna die soon. I will, you will, and it sure sounds like your son will.

Ah, you can't blame him for being weird.

Ah, you know, he's a pain in the ass.

Ah!

Ah.

All right, I'll see you tomorrow. Let's not drag this out.

All right, listen. I gotta go, okay?

All right.

All right.

All right.

All right. All right. You're right. Yeah.

All right. Come here.

All right. I give you that one.

All right. Let me talk to him. Let's go.

All right. We got pizza!

All set?

All you do is make me feel bad about myself.

Always look at the bright side of your life

Always look at the lighter side of your life...

Always look at the lighter side of your life...

An ear infection, whatever, sends us to the emergency room five, six times a month,

An old woman... sitting on a bus,

And all of a sudden, I blanked.

And all the laundry and the cleaners. Okay, good.

And clear their tables and never get that they just met the greatest woman alive.

And darling I'm never lonely

And everything inside just kind of aches...

And friends and noodle salad.

And have they done blood tests on him? Yeah.

And he held out his hand.

And he said, "I don't want you to ever come back."

And he started hitting me,

And he talked to me less and less after that.

And he turned and walked out.

And he'll know that...

And how you are with Spencer, Spence.

And how you say what you mean and how you almost always mean something...

And I always thought... or I guess I assumed... that my father knew about it.

And I don't want to paint anymore.

And I felt myself...

And I have very strong feelings on the subject.

And I just grabbed him, and I hugged him,

And I just have so many questions I wanna ask you.

And I know that... think that it's...

And I think most people miss that about you.

And I want it back today. Ha! I'm sorry.

And I watch them, wondering how they can watch you bring their food...

And I'd be lying if I didn't say I... enjoy your company.

And I'm gonna take you home and get you somethin' to eat.

And I'm sorry for never spotting right there at the table in the restaurant,

And in every single thought that you have...

And it was filled with money.

And maybe this thing happened to you just to give you a chance to do that.

And one week later, there's a smell coming from there that can only be...

And she doesn't want contact with me!

And she used to...

And she was... she was very natural.

And step out a little, then I...

And thank you.

And that you had to wait two seconds for a coffee filler.

And the fact that I get it...

And the morning that I left for college,

And then act as though I had some choice about barging in.

And then it's up to you to make the next move, and I hope you do.

And then just try to... comfortably hold it.

And they let you in in a housedress.

And this time, for extra fun, they gave us the wrong antibiotics.

And to prove it, I have not gotten personal, and you have.

And we haven't sold a single painting!

And we haven't sold a single painting!

And what I said on the street, that was a bad thing to say.

And when you see it, they're just sort of "realer" and they're more alive.

And yet another pose.

And you can barely find the will to complain.

And you know immediately that it has nothing to do with anything external,

And you people are supposed to be sensitive and sharp?

And you see this flash come over them,

And you want someone to share the moment with.

And you're a pretty old guy to not be ready, and I'm too old to ignore that!

And you're excited and you want to celebrate because some fudge packer that you date...

And you're my date.

And, I can give you a tie and jacket.

And, I know what you're gonna say next.

And...

Any chance you'll be back at work today? No!

Anybody here who's interested in what Melvin has to say raise their hand.

Anything else in the bag?

Anything else?

Anything unusual in the dog's diet?

Anyway, dear, thank you for everything, Nora.

Appetites aren't as big as your noses?

Are we done being neighbors for now?

Are you gonna talk to me or not?

Are you sad or something? No. No, no.

Are you saying accepting your help obligates me?

Are you waiting for me to say something?

As long as I switch every time you press one of my buttons." That's great.

As part of the fun of dining out."

Assault and battery, and you're black!

At just enough to keep you from walking out.

Away from a time when I remembered what it was like...

Barred for life. Here I go!

Because I love you.

Because I've never felt this crazy as I do right now.

Because that hasn't changed.

Because the stench is so thick that you think you're gonna faint.

Because?

Because... you love her.

Better. Definitely better.

Beverly!

Boy, look at that!

Boy. It's sick. Nauseous.

Boyfriend.

Brooklyn Presbyterian Hospital, please. And quickly, please!

Bryan says he doesn't care how long you've been coming.

Builds his confidence? Okay.

But don't worry. Mr. Udall wants to be billed.

But I think it's more appropriate for you... Look. Look.

But I was playing soccer while you were away! I know.

But look, whatever I find out,

But my knees start knockin' when you turn on the charm full blast.

But the dog did throw up twice last night and his spark is off.

But the truth is you do bother me enormously.

But then hold that. Hold any of them. Okay, this?

But there were extraordinary kindnesses that did take place.

But this is for a portrait. I need a pretty face.

But you're beautiful, Carol.

But... Melvin, do, do you know where you're lucky?

Bye bye.

Bye bye. Good luck, lady.

Bye, dear. Bye, Mom.

Bye.

Bye. Wait, wait. Just tell me...

C O N S C I E N C E.

Call me when you get settled.

Can I buy you a drink?

Can I get some ice cream, Grandpa?

Can we get you anything else?

Can we order first?

Can you believe in our little mix you're the "good" roommate?

Can you drive him?

Can you not be so violent? I don't think so.

Can you... Can you come here?

Can't live without me?

Careful!

Carl, right?

Carl, take me off the speaker. Did I tell you that these are house seats?

Carol, I have him. Carol.

Carol's last name? Connelly.

Certainly.

Christ!

Clear what up?

Clearly a mistake.

Close the curtains.

Coffee with cream and sweetener.

Come here, baby.

Come here, baby. No.

Come here, my beautiful boy!

Come here, sweetheart.

Come here, Verdell.

Come here! Come here, boy!

Come here.

Come here.

Come here. I'll give you the address. It's for tomorrow morning.

Come on in, and try not to ruin everything by being you.

Come on, sweetie.

Come on, sweetie. Come on.

Come on.

Come on. Come on, now. Come on.

Come on. Go for a ride. Come on. Come on, sweetie.

Come on. How are you, sir? I was gonna do that for you.

Come on. Just a couple of questions. How hard is that?

Come on. Move fast.

Come on. No.

Come on. Take me out for a good time.

Coming through. Sometimes, this kid, you just wanna...

Concerned? It's not just financial assistance.

Could you leave now?

Cover your mouth when you cough, kid.

Dawn patrol.

Did you have sex with her? To hell with sex!

Did you really like it that much?

Did you say you're gonna get the results back today?

Did you... Did you do something to him?

Do have some idea how strange that sounds?

Do it then. And get the dog picked up. I can't believe you let it stay there.

Do it!

Do you drive?

Do you get me, sweetheart?

Do you have any control over how creepy you allow yourself to get?

Do you have to whisper? I can barely hear you.

Do you know there are doctors come to your house? No, I didn't.

Do you like to be interrupted when you're nancing around in your little garden?

Do you need help... No!

Do you understand me, you crazy fuck?

Do you understand?

Do you?

Does he visit often? No, not really. Not anymore.

Dogs!

Don't ask.

Don't ask. I'm tired of my own complaints.

Don't be like me. Don't you be like me.

Don't be pessimistic. It's not your style.

Don't forget the calendar. Yeah, yeah. And this is a calendar...

Don't run. No, no. Have fun, but don't run.

Don't say anything.

Don't touch! Don't touch! Shut up!

Don't touch.

Don't touch. Don't touch. Get a life.

Don't worry about it.

Don't worry, Mom! Have a good time!

Don't you do anything!

Don't you do anything!

Don't you know what my dog looks like?

Done!

Done!

Done! Yes, I hate the doggie. Yes, I hate the doggie!

Doughnut munching morons! Help me!

Dr. Bettes?

Dr. Green, how can you diagnose someone as an obsessive compulsive disorder...

Easy, easy, pal. I can take the compliment.

Even a dumb geezer should know that emergency... Just move on. No one killed.

Even as I look at the word 'grateful' now, it doesn't begin to tell you what I feel."

Even then, don't come knocking.

Even then, don't knock.

Even things like this happen for the best.

Even though it may seem that way now,

Even though it's an important issue to me.

Everybody wants that, dear. It doesn't exist.

Everything's gonna be okay, all right? Yeah.

Exactly what is your previous experience? How 'bout that?

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Excuse. Thank you.

Exhausting.

First of all, it's not such a hot looking dog. He's adorable.

Five one thousand, four one thousand,

Folks, you haven't been out later than 10:00 in your entire lives.

For bustin' in on you that night when I said I was never...

For myself that it's difficult to breathe.

For people like you, please be sure to let me know.

For the dog.

For you to feel this way, but when it comes to your parents or your kid,

Forgive my recent crankiness. I'll call when things get back on track, okay?

Four, five.

Frank shows my work, Mr. Udall.

Frank! Perfect for smelling trouble and prison food.

Frank! Simon, you have got to get dressed.

Frank?

Frank's got a line on another place you can use for now.

Frank's idea. He thought I should have notes so I did this right.

Fries.

Fries. One baked, one fried.

From all the prescriptions from the beginning of the year.

Fucking H.M.O. bastard pieces of shit! Carol.

Gee... "I have not been able...

Geez. No choice.

Gershwin. He's great, isn't he?

Get her here.

Get out immediately, or there's gonna be trouble.

Get some tape on it.

Get the hell out of the way! You're takin' him.

Gettin' loud, gettin' loud.

Give me a big hug. Carol, I have him.

Give me a hug.

Give me some sign you understand, or leave now.

Give us a lift, would you, Melvin?

Giving 'em a dirty look.

Go ahead, girl.

Go ahead, John. You earned your fun.

Go ahead, Simon.

Go ahead.

Go ahead.

Go ahead. Really, please don't let him stop you.

Go away.

Go for a little ride, then you can whiz all over the city.

Go on. Sit down. You know you're not allowed back here.

Go over there, now, tonight! Don't sleep on it.

Go shake down a 7... Eleven for a day old wiener.

Go! She has me.

God!

Good bye. Your luck's runnin'.

Good evening.

Good night.

Good night.

Good night. Good night.

Good night. Good night.

Good talking to you.

Good times. Noodle salad.

Good, I hope, I hope, I hope.

Good. That's great. Let them help him. Absolutely.

Gorgeous.

Grandma will take care of me! Bye!

Grandma. Grandma.

Ha.

Hands with, for Christ sake!

Happy to see me, you little pissant mop?

Has been a disaster.

Has been elected the first queer president of the United States,

Hate. I'm using the word "hate" here about pills. Hate.

Have a look at yourself in the mirror.

Have a nice day. Okay. Party.

He has no medical insurance?

He has to make up for his mom not getting any.

He just had a little thing with the dog.

He likes it at Chez Melvin.

He likes it.

He says that in 50 or 60 percent of the cases,

He says, "Mom, I promise not to get a fever or cough during your date."

He scored a goal. Mom, I don't believe it.

He started screaming... My father didn't come out of his room for 11 years.

He used to hit me on the hands with a yardstick if I made a mistake...

He wants me to take his car and his client to Baltimore.

He was... Come on.

He'll hurt him. No, Simon. I promise.

He's allergic to dust, and this is New York,

He's good. I'm an expert on doctors.

He's got to fight to breathe. His asthma can just shoot off the charts.

He's gotta get to Baltimore to ask his parents for money tomorrow.

He's here, isn't he? He lives here. No, no. Take it easy.

He's so calm! What are you doing with a dog?

He's talking to his parents. Then you listen to me.

Hello, this is Fred Bishop... And Betty.

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

Hello? Carl?

Hello? Hi, it's me. Hi!

Hello? Okay. I just found a model.

Hello. Holy God, who did that to you?

Help me! Help me! Shut up!

Here I go.

Here I go.

Here's a little suitcase...

Here's one for the dog again.

Here's the keys to my apartment.

Here's the trouble with never.

Hey, boys.

Hey, Dad! Dad! I'm over here!

Hey, Frank!

Hey, Frank! Frank!

Hey, I'm as concerned about Simon as you are.

Hey, I'm charged here.

Hey, I've got a great compliment for you.

Hey, look. I know this guy. He even bought me dinner. Hey!

Hey, maybe I'll bring him some food by.

Hey, puppy! He's cute!

Hey, Spence! Hey, Mom.

Hey, watch it! Don't touch!

Hey, we all have these terrible stories to get over, and you...

Hey! Hey!

Hey! Real sensitive.

Hey.

Hey. What's goin' on?

Hey. What's goin' on?

Hi, Carl. Frank. So, where is he?

Hi, I'm sorry it took so long. I don't know Brooklyn.

Hi!

Hi.

Hi.

Hi. Help!

Hi. Thank you for being on time.

Hold it.

Hold it. Hold it. I'm just turning.

Hold on. Hold for what? What do you gotta do?

Hold, fucking...

Hope you find him. Love that dog.

Hospital? Yes.

Hot! Hot, hot, hot!

How 'bout another ride down the chute?

How could you do that?

How did he get down in the basement?

How do you know about my mother?

How do you write women so well?

How much more you got to eat?

How old are you?

How ya doin', great one?

How ya doin'?

How you doin'?

How's Verdell doin'?

How's your friend? You okay?

Hungry? Be right with you, pooch.

I actually will turn the ringer off on my phone and sometimes put a piece of cardboard in...

I almost... I almost want you to say "no".

I also wrote one part... I'm just gonna say...

I basically fainted when I walked in and Jackie had... Just take the dog.

I been comin' here for two weeks, and all we've done is work. Let's play!

I bet he drove you nuts checking your rÈsumÈ?

I bet you... wish you were... a real d...

I brought you some Chinese soup.

I can help you if you take responsibility to keep regular appoint...

I can read it. I got it. I can't see it.

I can't cook with a dog near me.

I can't do this without you.

I can't get the angle with this... this cast.

I can't resist. You usually move through here so quickly,

I can't take a dog! Nobody's ever been in here before!

I can't. I work. You get off when you want to.

I can't. I'm exhausted.

I can't... I just... I...

I changed just one pattern, as you always said I should.

I come from hell. My grandmother's got more attitude than you.

I could be in bed right now with a woman who if...

I couldn't find it either. Could you get this to the lab?

I didn't know she was still here.

I didn't know that you had a secret admirer.

I didn't mean for that to be a question. I'm gonna grab you.

I didn't mean it that way. I mean, you gotta sit down.

I don't even notice it anymore.

I don't get it.

I don't get it. I don't get it.

I don't get this place. They make me buy a new outfit,

I don't give a rat crap what or where you shove your show.

I don't know whether I'm being sensible or hard on you.

I don't know why I brought you. I...

I don't know.

I don't need one, 'cause I know what's really going on here!

I don't quite get how that's a compliment for me.

I don't think I wanna know you anymore.

I don't think this can wait until tomorrow. I need to clear this up now.

I don't wanna hear that music right now.

I don't wanna say nothin' to you.

I don't wanna see him, and he's not gonna come knockin' on your door.

I feel terrible that I have to...

I figured I could tell from your reaction.

I forgot to lock the door.

I found Verdell, Mr. Udall.

I get why you're angry with me, but it's no...

I give off the wrong impression... I have to.

I got a gift for you. Nothing like no choice to make you feel at home.

I got a high maintenance selling painter coming through, so I'm out.

I got a real great compliment for you, and it's true.

I got a real great compliment for you, and it's true.

I got it. You were talking about your dog. Yeah.

I gotta finish this letter, or I'll go nuts.

I gotta get some new thoughts.

I gotta give you somethin'. I gotta give you somethin' real good too.

I gotta go, Jimbo. I'll see ya. Take care, babe.

I grew up in hell, homeboy.

I had no clue as to what the next line was.

I had to see you.

I hate doin' this! I'm an art dealer.

I hate pills.

I have a hair dryer...

I have to draw you.

I have to draw you.

I have to get to my restaurant on time.

I haven't been clear in my head...

I haven't been sleepin'.

I haven't looked at myself yet.

I hear you talking while I wait.

I hope getting me thinking about everything that's wrong,

I just didn't think Verdell should get too comfortable...

I just love her.

I keep bacon in my pocket.

I know I can do better than that.

I know what you want.

I know, but guess what?

I know, I...

I know, yeah. Terrific.

I know. I'm a little bit nervous.

I like Simon! I like him enough to batter you unrecognizable...

I love his little face. It's so cute.

I love my cookbook!

I love you.

I love you. I'll miss you.

I love you. Love you too.

I mean it.

I mean, do, do anything that you think of.

I mean, even if he got in the elevator...

I mean, I didn't know if we were gonna be eating...

I mean, I think I know.

I mean, I'm drowning here, and you're describing the water!

I mean, if his parents are alive, they have to help. It's the rules.

I mean, it was a little odd that you didn't come and see me when you heard I was hurt...

I mean, it's not always good to let things calm down.

I mean, maybe...

I mean, she was really sort of... She was sort of fabulous about it actually.

I mean, the scars here might take a little... Oh, shit!

I mean, wouldn't your life be easier if you weren't...

I mean, yes! Yes, let's.

I mean, you look at someone long enough, you discover their humanity.

I mean... look at you!

I messed up in the exact same line.

I might be the only one...

I might be the only person on the face of the Earth...

I need a coat and tie. Well, come on in.

I need a hand, and where'd she go?

I need this. Just say, "Melvin, I'll try."

I need you to chaperone. Separate everything but cars.

I own this guy! Besides, there was nobody else.

I promise you at the very least from now on...

I really think you have a chance here.

I remember I was defending my mother, and I was trying to, you know,

I said... I said, "She's not naked. It's art."

I see it. Thank you.

I should've danced with you.

I sort of sleep in here.

I still don't feel safe leaving Spencer with someone.

I still want you to hear part of that car song.

I swear to God, my hand won't even keep up.

I talked to the doctors, and they say you're gonna be your old self in a couple weeks.

I tell ya, buddy,

I think it's a beautiful day for our walk today.

I think of a man, and I take away reason and accountability.

I think people that talk in metaphors ought to shampoo my crotch.

I think that it's better for me to not have contact with you because you're not ready.

I think you ought to have Mr. Udall send you over a psychiatrist.

I think... Yeah, I think you know that. People are gonna start coming.

I thought I said, "What?"

I thought you kiss him... me... when you two seemed to hit it off.

I thought, maybe if you had sex with Simon, maybe it would... What?

I took a chan... took a chance you were up.

I usually make such a big deal about pickin' models, but Carl is so thorough.

I walked in on some men robbing me and...

I want us to go out.

I want your life for one minute,

I wanted to see what you'd do. No, seriously.

I was just trying to give you a boost.

I was out in the studio doing my work, and I just...

I was sorry. And I'm sorry for every time your food was cold,

I was sort of hoping you can keep the dog...

I was talking about I was sorry when I got mad at you for...

I wasn't asleep.

I will meet... you in there, okay?

I will never sleep with you. Never, ever.

I wonder what breed he is?

I would take your seat any day.

I wrote I was sorry for bustin' you on that and I'm sorry...

I...

I... screwed up. I said the wrong thing.

I... Well, there's no place cards or anything. That's all right.

I'd be the luckiest guy alive if that did it for me.

I'd feel better sitting outside your apartment on the curb...

I'd have to say they did a good job.

I'd like to be treated like that. I'm gonna take you home right now...

I'd rather be sitting inside on the steps,

I'll be able to keep my apartment and the studio, won't I?

I'll be at the restaurant tomorrow.

I'll be quiet.

I'll be right with you. Okay!

I'll drop you a line from wherever I land,

I'll get dressed in a hurry.

I'll just... You know what, I'm just gonna start from the beginning.

I'll read you a little Ralph Waldo Emerson. Okay. Have it your way.

I'll tell your waiter!

I'm a great customer.

I'm afraid he might pull the stiff one eye on me.

I'm comin' in. It's late.

I'm comin'. I'm comin'.

I'm coming.

I'm feeling better, Carol. Melvin.

I'm feeling... What?

I'm fillin' in. We don't know if she's comin' back.

I'm finally gonna ask. All right, what's with the plastic picnic wear?

I'm fine. Like the hat?

I'm glad we did this.

I'm gonna give my queer neighbor a lift to Baltimore.

I'm gonna grab you.

I'm gonna jump in the shower. Okay!

I'm gonna look at the painting, all right?

I'm gonna pull over, give you my full attention.

I'm gonna show it to ya. Come on, buddy.

I'm gonna think of some way that you can make it up to him.

I'm happy.

I'm hungry.

I'm in a free fall here.

I'm in town.

I'm in trouble.

I'm just gonna get some flowers, dear. I'll be back in 20 minutes.

I'm just gonna read you this part of it.

I'm just kiddin'.

I'm losing my apartment, Melvin, and Frank, he wants me...

I'm nervous.

I'm not a screamer. Look...

I'm not a... prick. You are. I'm not judging.

I'm not going to sleep with you.

I'm not kidding.

I'm not the answer for you.

I'm not... I'm not sure, but I think so.

I'm okay, Mom. She has me. Go.

I'm okay.

I'm on the last page. How do you spell "conscience"?

I'm runnin' out of ideas here.

I'm so afraid you're about to say something awful.

I'm so afraid you're about to say something awful.

I'm sorry, but...

I'm sorry, didn't I say, "What?"

I'm sorry, Melvin. That's it. I cannot handle you teaching my son manners!

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. Are you okay?

I'm sorry. I don't care how you put this.

I'm sorry. I told you today.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. It just struck me as funny.

I'm sorry. Thank you for the seat. That was very thoughtful.

I'm sorry. Whatever this is is not gonna work.

I'm starving!

I'm stuck. I can't get back to my own life.

I'm taking a big bath and ordering a big meal.

I'm trying to keep emotion out of this,

I'm very intelligent.

I've been feel...

I've got **** at my table.

I've got the whole trip programmed.

I've got this, what, ailment.

I've never been this tired in my life.

I've spoken to your parents. They didn't hang up or anything.

If I was gonna guess by your eyes,

If I went by your eyes, I'd say you were kind.

If there is some mental health foundation that raises money...

If you ask me, I'll say yes.

If you can't be at least mildly interesting, then shut the hell up!

If you can't feel good about this break...

If you could just watch the dog. Just for tonight.

If you don't mind.

If you ever mention my son again, you will never be able to eat here again.

If you verbally abuse him or so much as touch that dog again.

If you want to see me, you will not do this. You will make an appointment.

If you were a waiter, I'd... Are you totally gone?

If you'll excuse me, I'm not feeling so well.

If you're gonna give me hope, you gotta do better than you're doing.

If you're, worried about thanking me...

Ignores me. So he said to me, "Last chance."

In any restaurants that have dress codes?

In case he is asleep.

In case you were gonna ask, I'm also not going to let you inject me with the plague, either.

In some Panama City sailor "wanna hump hump" bar?

In the basement garbage bin, eating diaper shit.

In your office we should talk to to get the results, or...

Is he dead yet? No.

Is he talking to me? So, anything else?

Is it a secret what you're doing here?

Is that something that's bad for you to be around... for you?

Is there any other way to see it?

Is this bothering you?

Is this fun for you?

Is this gonna be your room? Our room.

Is this okay?

Isn't that sweet? Little blond angel. Eats everything.

It doesn't matter. I can't get over my hand's not even bothering me.

It feels a little confined in here. Let's take a walk.

It just came out. I said, "You love me the way you love your remote control.

It made me sick to my stomach. It was a bad thing to say.

It relaxes me.

It says something with a shark. I never even fixed shark before.

It was better than sex. We held each other.

It was just one thought that I had. It came out first.

It would be very rough, Carol, if you weren't along.

It'll give us a chance to relax... So?

It's a mistake.

It's a...

It's about time!

It's all right. Where should we sit?

It's all right. You don't have to get that embarrassed.

It's got good light. No other choice really.

It's great. It's got all these wonderful recipes in here.

It's high times for you, isn't it, Melvin?

It's just so interesting what you said at dinner.

It's little by little.

It's not a... subtle point that you're making.

It's not affection. It's a trick.

It's not just the tiredness.

It's not you're table; it's the place's table. Behave.

It's okay.

It's okay. Actually, I think that's their technical name.

It's okay. Come here.

It's really something that you're looking after Simon.

It's Simon.

It's such a nice place. You probably have these dry cleaned all the time, don't you?

It's that new medication. So you know all my son's stuff, right?

It's tulip season today, and I'm, so happy.

It's very weird now, not feeling that...

It's...

It's...

It's... It's exhausting talking like this.

It's... Looks good. They...

Jackie said she was gonna bring your personal things.

Jameson, soda back.

Just a little too much reality for a Friday night.

Just a matter of time, sir. There's a painting of one of the guys in here.

Just a regular boyfriend who doesn't go nuts on me?

Just a stupid, stupid dog.

Just have her do my one meal here. I...

Just kiddin' around.

Just let me stay here. I'll... No problem. Go get Carol.

Just let me... let me talk.

Just listen to me, okay? Listen to me.

Just no one in this car. But a lot of people... that's their story.

Just south of Baltimore, Maryland,

Just take the dog. Come here.

Just tired and bitter.

Just what the world needs. Another actress.

Just...

Just...

Just...

Just... two people that like warm rolls.

Last chance. Oh, God.

Last word freak.

Leave me be!

Leg down. Leg down. Leg down. Leg down.

Let me do this by myself.

Let me see.

Let me talk to you for a minute. No, no, no.

Let's do the small talk in the car. Let's go.

Let's get dressed.

Let's go home and do some writing.

Let's go home and get well.

Let's, go to the hotel, and,

Let's. Okay, got ya.

Like I'm a... what, and I owe you what?

Like spiral curls and barrel curls and everything like that.

Like the wind. But I'm not doin' it!

Like thick molasses. With a broad nose.

Lip kiss.

Little bit of throw up.

Look at my boy! Look at him!

Look at that! Look at him!

Look at you, sweetheart. Look at Verdell!

Look at you, sweetheart. Look at you. Come here.

Look out, you guys. Coming through.

Look out, you guys. What's wrong?

Look out.

Look where they put it.

Look,

Look, Evelyn's here, and her giant Joey.

Look, I don't care what you did for me. I... What's wrong?

Look, I got Sean from the bakery to baby sit so we could go out.

Look, I got Sean from the bakery to baby sit so we could go out.

Love was..."

Lovely.

M.D.

Ma'am?

Magic.

Maintained focus, didn't get emotional and tried not to terrify you.

Major dawn patrol. My son had a full blown attack.

Make peace in the lamest way.

Make yourself at home.

Makes me feel good...

Man, I mean it.

Maybe both. Maybe.

Maybe some nice neighbor shoved him down the garbage chute?

Maybe this can wait. Yeah.

Maybe we could live without the wisecracks.

Maybe we could.

Maybe you'd better check.

Me. My home number's on the card.

Meantime,

Melvin, I would like to know exactly where we are going.

Melvin, I'll try.

Melvin, wait! Melvin, wait! Melvin, wait! Melvin, wait!

Melvin!

Melvin...

Mom, I finished my juice. I'm sorry, honey. One sec.

Mom, we're playing again. Gotta go. No, no...

Mom! In here, Mrs. Connelly.

Mom! Mama! I was hearing everything that you were doing,

Mom?

Mom? Hi. Hello, Simon.

Mommy and Daddy are home.

Moving in the wrong direction...

Mr. Udall, I'd like to speak to you, please.

Mr. Udall?

Mr. Udall?

Mr. Udall?

Mrs. Connelly, there's still a lot of tests I need to do,

My compliment is, that night when you came over and told me that you would never...

My doctor, a shrink that I used to go to all the time,

My dog with the little face, little adorable face.

My dog. You know, my...

My grandmother had more attitude. Police!

My husband was dying.

My son is sick, okay?

My son was outside playing soccer.

My son. Bettes said he's doing fine.

My waiter. Okay, now.

My wife is Melvin Udall's publisher.

Nellie, you're a disgrace to depression.

Never a break. Never.

Never a break. Never.

Never a break. Never.

Never.

Next time, if Bryan's not here, you can bring him in.

Nice packing.

Nice place.

No direction.

No need to stop bein' a lady. Quit worryin'.

No offense, but a moron pushing the last legal drug.

No thank you note.

No, but I mean, what's with the dark?

No, don't... don't run. Have fun! Don't worry!

No, I asked. They said my plan didn't cover it and that it wasn't necessary anyways.

No, I do. I understand.

No, I don't need anything.

No, I'm not putting that on.

No, it's all right. I'll just watch.

No, no, I'll take ya.

No, no, no, no. I got a date tonight. I'm walkin' out the door, he says to me,

No, no, no, no. It was the luckiest thing for all of us you didn't answer.

No, no, no. Absolutely not. I'm a lot more shy than people think.

No, no, no. Get Carol.

No, no, no. I'll... I'll take a cab.

No, no, no. I'm sorry. Okay. Thanks.

No, no, no. You can't smoke. He can't take smoke.

No, no, this is... this is great.

No, no, wait. That's... That's overstating.

No, no! There is a seriously goofy man behind this!

No, no. I know exactly what you mean.

No, not until now, for Christ sake.

No, okay.

No, sir.

No, wait, wait, wait, wait.

No, we can't reduce the price at this stage! Sir, please.

No, we're not doing this now.

No, you pay me next week. No, I owe you. I told you today. That's the rule.

No!

No! Freeze, freeze.

No! You monkey eared son of a...

No?

No.

No.

No.

No.

No.

No.

No.

No.

No. Don't force him.

No. Everybody gets their own cage?

No. I wasn't aware.

No. Let me see. These are the food receipts.

No. No standard scratch test? They poke 'em with a needle.

No. No, thank you. No, no, no, no.

No. No.

No. Nope.

No...

No... Fine. Okay. Okay, that's good.

Nonsense, and you wanna know why?

Not a chance!

Not bad. You got a temperature?

Not even if you hear the sound of a thud from my home...

Not ever.

Not for any reason.

Not if there's a fire,

Not it at all?

Not on this door.

Not so hot. Why? What's wrong?

Not that you're ugly; that's not what I'm saying.

Not worth it. Definitely not worth it. Verdell must be in the apartment.

Not your name! What are you telling me your name for? Where is he?

Note... Put it in a note.

Nothing worse than having to feel this way in front of you.

Nothing. I just watch until something, strikes me.

Now I'm pissed. Now I am really pissed!

Now, do you know how hard it was for me to come here?

Now, I want you to do something for me.

Now, on a pleasanter note, my son, he just got accepted to Brown.

Of days and how he felt and what he's been eating.

Of this little guy because you are urgently needed back at work.

Oh, Carl, Carl.

Oh, God. I'm sorry. I did not mean that. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Oh, God. This is like a nightmare.

Oh, God. Well, that'll teach you.

Oh, my God, right? Yeah.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God. Hold it.

Oh, my gosh.

Oh, my.

Oh, no, no, no. No?

Oh, no, no. I mean, not... in other words... Well, you brought it up.

Oh, no!

Oh, you...

Okay by me.

Okay, and how about skin testing for allergies?

Okay, Doctor.

Okay, here I go.

Okay, I'll do it. I'll take him.

Okay, I'll get your order.

Okay, it's, it's not that bad.

Okay, just sit. Good. We don't want any company.

Okay, okay, okay.

Okay, pal. Give me a hug. Carol!

Okay, put him in with that one, not that one.

Okay, so are you sure you don't want your shampoos or anything?

Okay, so are you sure you don't want your shampoos or anything?

Okay, so you call 911 and don't leave your name?

Okay, then.

Okay, well, I'm gonna try you in the morning. I need to, see you,

Okay, you can answer. We worked it out.

Okay?

Okay?

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay. Bye bye. He's gonna feel stirred up.

Okay. Happy Anniversary.

Okay. I talked to the doctor, and...

Okay. I'll meet you in there.

Okay. Now, this is for later.

Old bitch! Damn dog!

On repeat viewing,

One begins to suspect that might not really be Major Healey in the phone booth after all.

One day he walked in. And he found us, and he just...

One minute.

One more spit. I said I have him. He's waiting.

One night with me. You think you're kidding.

One way or another we'll...

One, two, three, four, five.

One, two, three, four, five.

One, two, three, four.

One, two, three...

Only in the emergency room, or when he was well? Emergency room only.

Only,

Open his curtains for him...

Or at least get you to answer the phone.

Or felt like myself.

Or is this getaway day and your last shot at his whiskey?

Or kids going to school or somebody just waiting?

Or you can wait your turn.

Or, if it's election night,

Our daily prayers, forever."

Out! Just shut up and get out!

Over a dog!

Over an ugly dog!

Ow!

Paintings, paints.

Pardon me.

Pardon me. Take the money. Debts make me crazy.

Party!

Pay me a compliment, Melvin. I need one. Quick.

Playing the piano.

Please leave a message with all pertinent information.

Please pick up the phone.

Please, come on.

Please, come on. Come on. No. No.

Please, just leave!

Please.

Portrait?

Puppy. It's okay. Go on. Go on.

Really bad that Dr. Bettes is married.

Really nice.

Really, Mom, what is it you want?

Really!

Right?

Rot in hell, Melvin.

Sausage, pepperoni. You wanna make this later for you and Spencer?

Say "good bye." Good bye.

Scootch over.

See ya! Bye!

See, he's right. I need the cards.

See, it's 4:00 in the morning. A walk sounds a little screwy to me,

See, man, that painting in there...

See?

See? Right there I don't know whether you're being cute or crazy now.

Sell crazy someplace else. We're all stocked up here.

She said I was to take excellent care...

She's evicted me from my life.

She's here.

She's nice.

Shocked that it's being used.

Should I get her for you?

Shouldn't that be a good thing, telling somebody, "No thanks required"?

Simon, could you just leave the dog for a second?

Simon, wait!

Simon, we can't put this off any longer.

Simon! I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Simon? I didn't mean that, sweetheart.

Simon.

Sleeping in here 'cause it's really not gonna... Well, look.

So give yourself a little pep talk:

So he can see God's beautiful work.

So his immune system bails on him whenever there's trouble, so an ear infectio...

So how was dinner? Hey, pal.

So I can get out of this city.

So I decide I'm gonna...

So I get him home... No, no, no, no, no, no.

So I put these on to give you privacy.

So I went in, and I got on the third line of dialogue,

So much for love.

So never, never interrupt me. Okay?

So she used to pose nude for me.

So she used to pose nude for me.

So you'd come back to work and wait on me.

So, anyway, I'm on my way to the hospital.

So, anyway, thanks for the trip.

So, go over there. Do this. Catch her off guard.

So, how are things, anyway?

So, I have...

So, I wrote that I was sorry about that and that I...

So, listen, you gotta let me know about the additional costs.

So, now that your soft, little underbelly's all exposed,

So, once the tests come back, is there someone...

So, so much for eyes, but as long as you bring up age, how old are you?

So, the life that I was trying for is over.

So, the theory of confrontation says now he'll think twice before messing with me.

So, we'll probably have a good five hour drive.

So, what are you doing here? Well...

So, what are you saying? That you're frustrated?

So, you said he came in your room, and he was yelling?

So, you'll be at work tomorrow?

So, you're practically finished?

Soak it up. It's your last chance for a hug for a few days.

Some face they left hangin' on ya. You look like...

Something will always be off for you unless you set it straight.

Sorry to be unable to take your call.

Sorry.

Sorry.

Sorry.

Sorry. Excuse me.

Sorry. I'm gonna sit here.

Sorry. You're just fun to mess with.

Sorry... No, it's okay.

Spence.

Stay away from me! God!

Stop asking everyone. Just him. That's all.

Stupid panic thing inside me all the time.

Suckered in, set up, pushed around.

Sure looks like it went over too.

Sure.

Sure. Let's sit down.

Take my car, a convertible?

Take the dog! I gotta go.

Taking care of him.

Taxi!

Tell 'em I need C.B.C., differential, platelets, the whole thing. Okay.

Tell me why you wanted me here.

Tell me, even if you're scared. Scared?

Tell me, why did you bring me here?

Than any other place I can think of or imagine.

Thank you for walking him.

Thank you note? No, no, no.

Thank you, Melvin.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you. No, I'm here.

Thank you. Now, I gotta send you a thank you note.

Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you. That's good.

Thanks a lot. Okay.

Thanks.

Thanks.

That bad?

That I'm a great guy, extraordinary,

That knows you're the greatest woman on Earth.

That one, yeah, and this tie.

That so many others had it good.

That somebody out there knows what it's like...

That was all there was to it.

That wasn't a payment.

That you would be willing to walk his dog for him?

That's all about being straight and good.

That's good.

That's great! Yep, amazing.

That's his home number.

That's it. That's it. Come on, now.

That's maybe the best compliment of my life.

That's not true. Some of us have great stories,

That's not why I'm here.

That's right. Take him.

That's right. Yes.

That's very good. How long has he had the problem?

That's why you brought me here. That's really why you brought me here.

That's wonderful.

That's...

The back, the line of you...

The best thing you have going for you is your willingness to humiliate yourself.

The doctors gave me your billing address. I'm sorry about the hour.

The dog. It's bacon for the... Bacon's for the...

The dog's already comfortable.

The gay neighbor is terrified. Terrified!

The human being that had it in him to do this thing for us.

The important thing is that your son is happy. You do sound different.

The life that I had is gone, and I'm feeling so damn sorry...

The medical bills are 61,000 now, and the show didn't go well."

The mono minute someone gets that they need you, they threaten to walk out.

The next morning I started taking the pills.

The next thing I know, she's sittin' right there next to me, you know.

The poor kid doesn't have enough problems.

Then he's gonna wanna stay. And they'll wanna take a ride to the lake or whatever...

Then you tell me why! You're the one who's "dying here".

Then, of course, you spoke.

There's a bakery on the corner.

There's a lot of reasons.

There's no need for me to bring anything dressy?

There's no way to pack for this trip.

There's not going to be a debate. You must leave.

There's some cookies here called "Wasps' Nests."

These are the receipts,

They got your music,

They rented your place furnished.

They require a tie and jacket, but we have some available.

They say his stomach's out of whack and they need him for a couple of days.

They sublet your place. You're homeless.

They want you inside, sir.

They were gonna set you up in here. It's an extra room. I never use it.

Think white and get serious.

This day...

This is my private home!

This is New York. If you can make it here, you can make it anywhere.

This is not a nude.

This is not like stockings. It's not like a string of pearls.

This is plenty. No, thank you.

This is so great.

This is sort of it. I sort of...

This lets a crazy man into our lives. Let's not fight.

This once, you can sit at someone else's station.

This stuff is pointless. Hey! Let him finish, please.

This way you take a cab home so you have time to get ready for the date.

Though you have no idea what it's like to have a real conversation...

Three eggs over easy,

Three one thousand, two one thousand, bingo.

To be in here.

To beg my parents... who haven't called me... for help, and I won't.

To go back to emergency where those runt doctors keep telling us that they can't help?

To have a man to anything.

Today, on the bus, there was this adorable couple,

Tomorrow morning, I'll take him. Okay. I'll take him. Fine.

Trust me.

Two hard shell crab dinners! Pitcher ice cold beer!

Two sausage, six strips of bacon with fries.

Until he's had a chance to think and adjust.

Verdell!

Verdell! What's wrong?

Verdell?

Verdell?

Verdell? Come here. Come here, boy.

Verdell? Verdell?

Very dangerous thing, pills.

Vincent!

Wait for me to say, "Hold that pose,"

Wait till you hear.

Wait, I gotta take off. Do you wanna say good bye or anything?

Wait, no! Wait, wait. That's... I didn't mean...

Wait!

Wait.

Wait.

Wait. I have a smaller one.

Waiting gives the devil time.

Want me to write down which trains you take to get home, or you wanna lay down and...

Want some water? What is the matter with you?

We almost did. I don't even wanna talk about it. I...

We don't enjoy one another that much.

We don't open for the no sex oaths until 9:00 a.m.

We got a good shot it'll be open soon. That way we're not screwy.

We got good stuff here.

We have to cut back expenses every place we can.

We saved a table for you. Thanks.

We will. And if we can't,

We'll both call him. You'll see. It's a... trick.

We'll come back and ask you again and again.

We're bein' naughty here, pal.

We're okay. We're okay.

Well, here I am, sweetheart.

Well, I always painted, and my mother always encouraged it.

Well, I can't call them.

Well, I mean... I'm worried you did this be...

Well, I see the help. It's a judgment call.

Well, I think you're gonna have to camp it here.

Well, I work all the time.

Well, I...

Well, I...

Well, I've been thinking about that since you brought it up before.

Well, if that's true, I'm really in trouble.

Well, it's been weeks and weeks. A few more won't matter.

Well, it's better than this. Look, you.

Well, it's not right to go into details. I got nervous.

Well, it's your car, but I don't wanna hear it, if that means anything!

Well, it's...

Well, it's... just one... It's one idea. That's why you brought me?

Well, let's...

Well, maybe I overshot a little, because I was aiming...

Well, my compliment to you is,

Well, part of what I said in this entire history of my life,

Well, picking on me won't help!

Well, take him to the vet. I did.

Well, that's a load off.

Well, the costs are gonna be considerable, I'm afraid.

Well, then get in your jammies and I'll read you a story!

Well, then give me some direction, okay?

Well, this is, nice.

Well, we don't have no dog food here; we don't want no dog food here.

Well, we're not going to sell anything if they find out we're halfway through a show...

Well, we're not going to sell anything if they find out we're halfway through a show...

Well, what should we do?

Well, you know, it's not even mine.

Well, you lucky devil, it just keeps gettin' better and better, doesn't it?

Well, you were there. You... You know what you said.

Well.

Well...

Well... Simon's home.

What a break.

What a day. Come here, come here.

What a nice compliment.

What about your mother?

What are those cards?

What are you comin' over here for? I told you to sit here.

What are you doing, cruisin' him?

What are you doing?

What are you talkin' about? You got real problems.

What are you talking about? Look.

What can you do?

What did you think I was gonna ask?

What did you think I was gonna do?

What do you care?

What do you mean? You said you liked it. I don't.

What does it mean to you?

What good does that ever get anybody?

What happened to your queer party friends?

What happened?

What I do is I watch.

What I know is as long as you keep your work zipped up around me,

What I need he gave me, great.

What if this is as good as it gets?

What makes it so hard is not that you had it bad, but that you're that pissed...

What subject? That I wasn't there to take crap from you and bring you eggs?

What the heck are those for?

What the heck do you mean?

What was love?

What would that serve? Stop it!

What you did changed my life.

What you love, you hear me?

What, this... this cleaning lady doesn't...

What?

What?

What?

What?

What?

What? He cast me!

What? Wait, wait. No, wait. What?

What? You met the gift.

What'd she say?

What's this?

What's wrong?

What's wrong?

When all I want to do is not do that, has some purpose.

When I first saw you, I thought you were handsome.

When I was a kid... Wait, wait, wait.

When you came over, and you told my son that he oughta answer back.

When you first came into breakfast,

Where are you going, Frank? Who buys more than me?

Where did they teach you to talk like this?

Where did your friend take you to eat?

Where everything looks distorted,

Where I get whatever nine year old they just made a doctor.

Where if I hadn't, I...

Where is my beautiful boy? Sweetheart?

Where is my big, hairy boy? Where is he?

Where my big problem is somebody offers me a free convertible...

Where was my little baby? Where was my baby?

Where you goin', sweetheart? Verdell?

Where you going? No, why? I mean, I...

Where'd I go?

Where's my boy?

Where's my good doggie? Verdell?

Where's the bedroom? The truth...

Where's the trust?

Whether crabs were in season there now.

Which color was that?

Which is probably why I make poor Spencer hug me more than he wants to.

Which you won't read, is that somehow...

Who appreciates how amazing you are in every single thing that you do.

Who is it, baby?

Who is that, Verdell? Who is that?

Who needs these thoughts?

Who's gonna walk Verdell?

Why are you doing this?

Why are you doing this? What is it you want?

Why are you out of breath? Mom, I ran over a guy and scored a goal.

Why aren't you at work?

Why can't I just have a normal boyfriend? Why?

Why did you do this for me?

Why don't you try ours? Are you afraid it isn't clean?

Why don't you wear my earrings tonight.

Why not? You're a good girl.

Why,

With a doctor about Spencer.

Worst sidewalk in New York.

Would there be any way...

Would you take it...

Yeah, get him ready, packed.

Yeah, I know... He was... I was...

Yeah, look, I gotta get a hold of Frank and see where I'm hangin' my hat.

Yeah, Terry... Excuse me.

Yeah, this place smells like shit.

Yeah, well, yeah.

Yeah, yeah. Yes.

Yeah! He's just gotta go. One second. No, wait.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah. Here are the household expenses.

Yeah. How you doin'?

Yeah. Real nice?

Yeah. There is one more stage.

Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah... Melvin.

Yes, come on. Come on, now, sweetheart.

Yes, I do, as a matter of fact.

Yes, I'm sure, Simon, they did something really off...

Yes, I'm working again... Good. About money...

Yes, sir. All right.

Yes, we do.

Yes, you are! She might kill me if I go over there.

Yes, your dog is fine, Simon.

Yes!

Yes! He took me in.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes. It's Carol for you.

Yes. Thank you.

Yo.

You are not still writing that thank... you note?

You are very certain my dog is okay, because you have no idea...

You better start finding something else to do with your free time.

You can do this, Melvin. You can do this.

You can put on anything you want now. I might be sort of done here.

You can. Pull the stops. Tell her how you feel. You can do this.

You can't do this! You don't want to mess with me today!

You changed the room around. Two years ago.

You consider your life easy?

You did? Yep, he was big. Charlie, you know!

You dog eared monkey.

You don't have to wait with me.

You don't have to.

You don't know me all that well.

You don't love anything, Mr. Udall.

You don't owe me that.

You don't send this one back.

You ever act like this again, you're barred for life.

You ever watch somebody who doesn't know that you're watching them?

You feel like your old self again. I know the feeling.

You go up there and wait, and I'm gonna take Carol home. Wait...

You have done more for my mother, my son and me than anybody else ever has.

You have feelings for... Well, yes.

You have my number.

You have no idea how much what you just said hurt my feelings.

You have no idea what your work means to me.

You helped with the dog. Now, there's other things.

You just, wait here.

You know how this will turn out.

You know how this will turn out. Come on!

You know what. I...

You know who you want.

You know, he's a little dog.

You know, I think she might be getting a job closer to home.

You know, I was hop...

You know, I'll pay whatever you want. I'll wait.

You know, I'm always on the move, and...

You know, it's gonna be okay?

You know, it's got those big windows, and there's lots of light.

You like sad stories? You wanna hear mine? Stop.

You look great.

You look like you're crowded in there. It's all right.

You look so se...

You look, great.

You make her laugh you got a life.

You make me want to be a better man.

You miss the tough guy?

You need all the room you can manage. So, I'll sit in the back.

You okay? Yep.

You overwhelm me.

You picked me up, maybe a few weeks, I don't know, some time ago.

You said it like it was nothin'. I mean if you...

You said you could help me! What was that? A tease?

You said you liked convertibles. Now, I'm on the hook.

You should answer someone when they speak to you.

You sick?

You stay just the way you are, 'cause you are a perfect man,

You there?

You think you can intimidate the whole world with your attitude, but you don't intimidate me.

You ugly, smelly...

You wanna dance?

You want to say "no" to me?

You want to say "no" to me?

You were right. We were home last night.

You would've died. Yeah.

You... have pissed your last floor.

You'll be back on your knees in no time.

You're a wonderful man.

You're dead.

You're gonna die soon with that diet, you know that.

You're in bed.

You're not allowed to block out that fact! Do you really want...

You're not worried someone might take it?

You're still comin', aren't you? Yes.

You're sure making the rounds. Simon says you brought him soup last night.

You're takin' him. Yes! Yes, you are!

You're welcome.

You're why cavemen chiseled on walls.

You've ruined my whole day. I haven't eaten.

Your father has not been feeling well. I can't hear you!

Your son is gonna feel a great deal better, okay?

2:00 would be a good time, and here is the key...

62 books!

104.9. We're gonna treat ourselves to a cab ride.

A note? Yeah, it's a thank you note.

And? No.

Baked or fries? Fries.

Bryan. Bryan. Code blue. Bryan. Oh, no.

Carol... This can't be right. "Con science"?

Could you spell it again, please? Spencer's okay.

Cute. You don't have to answer everything I say!

Do they sell hard shells? Yes.

Eat up. Stay there. I've got your money.

Frank Sachs, Melvin Udall. How ya doin'?

Fries today? A short stack,

Funny, I thought it was a strong point. Write a note. Ain't she sweet.

Have you seen Verdell? What does he look like?

He's in the bathroom. Hey.

Help me! No, we gotta go.

Hey, look out. Excuse me.

Hey. Hey.

Hey. Hi. Remember? I only need one.

How is Verdell? Your neighbor, Mr. Udall,

I don't know. Let me sleep on it. Come on!

I haven't sketched anything in weeks. Stop staring. Do a vase.

I'll figure it out. Please.

I'm a waitress. In Manhattan.

I'm not sure if I can... handle this too. Get out!

I'm sorry, "the stiff one eye"? Two days.

Is he dead? Ask him.

Look how friendly he is. That's your dog?

Melvin, I'd rather not. What has that got to do with it?

Mr. and Mrs... Do you sell hard shell crabs?

No, I don't think so. Not it at all, really.

Oh, Simon. Jackie?

Please, what? Just tell me. I'm Martin...

Sean, are you hungry? Yeah.

So I came back in. Here she comes to ignore me again.

Sorry I'm not taking you myself, Simon. So am I, Frank!

Spencer. Okay.

There you go. You take care. Thank you.

They left. Yeah, what do you know?

This is a request from June... Now or never.

Verdell, you want some chocolate? No. He's not allowed.

What about your parents? No, no, no. I'll take care of myself.

What are you doing here? This is not a sexist thing.

What do you want, Melvin? I'm sorry I woke you. Some other time...

What? Look at you. You think I'm a mark.

What? That's it. Forget it.

What? What? Hi.

What's this? It's a note.

What's wrong with you? Don't bark at me. I didn't name ya.

What's wrong? Nothing.

Where ya goin'? No place. I was just gonna sneak a peek.

Why plastic? What are you tryin' to do to me?

Why, should they have? Well...

Why? What are you thinking about? How to die, mostly.

Yeah, I found him, Mr. Bishop. I know you did. We know you did.

Yeah. Yeah.

Yes? Can you hand me a mirror, please?

Yes. Do they sell hard shells?

Yes. Do they?

Yo, yo. Come on.

You can read it later. No. No, thank you.

!Hijole! What's wrong?

...make a little joke. So, you're all set here?

'cause I don't wanna get my feet in the gutter.

'Scuse me, Melvin.

'Scuse me.

"'This is what you live for, ' he said.

"And that makes you the most important, surprising,

"and that you're gonna be in our prayers,

"and there is only the safety of being with each other.

"And what a girl!

"He had made the girl happy.

"How, she wondered, could she find such hope...

"in the most shameful part of her?

"Love was..."

"Mom, I promise not to get one of my fevers or coughs during your date."

"Must try other people's clean silverware...

"Never," she said. "Never," she says.

"Ready" is not my problem.

"She had confessed, and he had forgiven.

"Simon, you're broke.

"Somewhere in the dark,
