uncomfortable, mind you, but... ...changeless. Tedious. Except for last night, with Vic and Ramona. They're a sign. They're a revelation. They're squeezing the maximum yield out of life. Let's get back to the world of the living. Let's move back to the city. Or move to the country. I mean, this is neither. What do you say? I understand your restlessness, Earl. But true change comes only from within. - Would you pass the wine? - You feel it too? Not a bit. But I do think the city would be a good idea. For you, in any case. But I meant for both of us. If we had the money... ...I think I'd go back to school. I'd like to... ...intensify my Native American art studies. We'll have the money. We'll sell the house. Vic, here, will buy it. He's rolling in dough. Why do you think he crashed his plane into his house and burned it down? Why, Daddy? For the insurance money. Right, Vic? How much you have the old place insured for? He didn't have any insurance. He never does. Of course he had insurance. The bank wouldn't give him a mortgage without insurance. He didn't have a mortgage. You paid cash? You rented? Do you remember when your neighbour, Mrs. Warren... ...moved to Riverside Nursing Home after her husband died? Well, that's when we met her. Vic used to dress her all the time. Mrs. Warren would always ask for Vic. Well, when she died... ...the house was empty, so we moved in. Vic said she wouldn't mind. I said it was a steal. This is really something. You two ought to be on 60 Minutes. Yeah, but now we don't have no place to live. Daddy, they could live in my room. Dick's invited me to Florida for a couple of weeks. His mom won't be there. She said it's okay. You stay out of this. You're not going anywhere and Dick is off-limits. Maybe that's not a bad idea that Elaine had. I mean, they could stay in the guest room. I don't know. That room's loaded with a lot of furniture and junk. If we did stay, we'd really need the big room, facing the road. The master bedroom? Hey, don't worry, we'd earn our keep around here. How wonderful. - No heavy yard work, though. - Hernia. Well, I don't know, it is my bedroom. I kind of have a sentimental attachment to it. I'll tell you what. With a scrub-down and some carpentry... ...we could make conditions liveable in the garage. Garage, huh? Right. That's it, then. Ramona, let's hit the road. Please. Look, I was just kidding. I want you to stay. Both of you. You're worth it. Please stay. As my friends. Please. Stay here, in the outer limits of the dead-end zone? Nothing personal, but life at the end of the road... ...just ain't for Captain Vic and Empress Ramona. Sorry, folks, but you can colour us gone. Boy, they were neat. They were beyond neat. They were extraordinary... ...unique... ...special. Earl, can you write me a check? I'm gonna need some money this week. - How much? - How much is in the account? I don't know. Where's the checkbook? The checkbook! - I'm hungry again. You wanna eat? - Oh, yeah. Hold it. Hold it right there, folks. All right. Let me have it. What are you talking about now, Earl? My checkbook. Not that there's any money left in my account. That's what you think of me? I take your hospitality, I break bread with your family. You still think I'd rob you? Look, just give me the checkbook. I'm not even gonna talk about the $32 you stole from me last night... ...when you were supposed to get dinner... ...and cooked that bogus spaghetti meal instead. Your checkbook. It's on the table in the hall, next to your wallet. My wallet! Enid? Look on the table in the hall. Do you see my wallet and checkbook there? Elaine, get ready to call the police. Oh, Earl. Hey. Kojak. How much is left in the account? There's $310 left in the account. Vic spent $17 on pants and a shirt from Goodwill. And there's a receipt here for $32... ...from Mr. Fong's ------------------------------ Читайте также: - текст Завещание профессора Доуэля на английском - текст Правдивая ложь на английском - текст Драка друзей на английском - текст Рэд на английском - текст Деловые люди на английском |
