loud. -You wanna leave New York? Broadway? You love New York? I got a callback on a play. I'm an actor. I'm going to stay. Harry, you made $35 last year as an actor. -How much you make as a playwright? -Nothing. That's why I want to get out of here. Let's go. We can head out West. We could grab odd jobs on the way. Build up a nest egg. And then head for Hollywood. That's the place for us. Picture it. Harry and Skip in the Sunbelt. In the Sunbelt, you just smile and they pour money out on you. And the women. Oh, God, the women. Natural, robust, open, carefree... ...uninhibited, healthy. -Talk some more. -Okay. -You can talk shit. -Okay, picture this. You and me, and two girls. Romping through the desert. Splashing into the ocean. And the moonlight is out. We glimpse their bodies when the moonlight hits their breasts. We watch those breasts bounce gently to and fro. -In the sand? -After the water, we go in the sand. -We have a blanket. -You serious? -That's what I'm trying to say. -Let's go! Okay! California, here I come! Harry, what's the matter? -1 50 bucks? -1 50? That'll put a dent in our bankroll. Don't worry. Jobs shouldn't be hard to find here. I think this is too much, though. I have a good feeling about this town. I think this is gonna be our lucky town. Give me the 5 back, please. Merry Christmas. -How did you do on the job front? -I drew a blank. Well, I have one possibility. It's nothing ideal. But it's a start. Harry, I have something very important to tell you. I love this place! I'm thrilled here, Harry. I'm telling you, I am.... I'm thrilled. -I'm thrilled for you. -You can taste the atmosphere. Do you know what this will do for my writing? See those two guys? The Sunbelt's history is written on their faces. -They'll bring your hat to you. -Don't worry. I'd love to talk with those fellows. I want to try and capture their rhythm. -It won't take you long. Skip-- -I'll be right back. Jesus Christ, goddamn! Skip! Hi. Hi, fellas. Hello. Hi. How are you? I'm Skip Donahue. I'm from back East. Me and my buddy-- My buddy and I just rolled into town. We were wondering, what is the job situation like around here? Wow! That surprised me. Do you mind if I try it? Okay. Skip! Excuse me, gentlemen, I just want to speak to my friend. -What? -Socializing with them is hazardous. -They're nice guys. -They'll take your head off. -Tell me about the job opportunity. -It's in banking. -We don't know about banking. -We don't have to. I've sold the manager on a new promotion idea.

Maybe you can identify those guys. -There they are! The New Yorkers! -Can we help? Is that your van? -No, sir. It doesn't belong to me. -Yes, sir. What are you doing? -This is my first frisk. -Why are you searching me? -I hope you're enjoying this shit. -What are you doing? Welcome to the desert. But I don't see no naked women.
