what we've got.
I'm gonna make this work.
We can make this work.
I can clean this place up just fine.
I mean, lots of families
live in much worse than this.
But, Arthur...
honey, we're gonna have to
become a two-income family.
You're gonna get a second job? Sorry.
Listen, I'm gonna apply for unemployment.
You cannot collect unemployment
until you've worked some.
Arthur!
What do you expect me to do?
I mean, what am I trained to do?
For Christ's sake, you went to Harvard.
I did?
What did you major in?
Ballet.
Fine.
You're not even gonna try? That's fine.
You're not even gonna try to help.
Try what? I mean, tell me.
What do you want me to do?
-I want you to grow up.
-Grow up?
I want you to get a job.
Fine.
This is real life, Arthur. I mean, this is it.
This is it?
Fine. There's the door.
That's the door.
I wondered what it was
with the brass knob and the chain...
and the little hole you peep through...
and the ''gents'' restroom....
I know where the door is.
Do you know where a job is?
Fine.
Fine.
Maybe you shouldn't wait up
because I might not be back.
-Fine.
-I am off.
Fine.
Fine, I am really off.
-Fine.
-Fine.
Arthur, don't procrastinate.
If you say you're gonna
do something, do it.
You go to the door, take the knob,
and move your ass. Mrs. Canby.
Mrs. Canby? What....
Mr. Marolla said I could find you here.
Is this a bad time?
-No.
-No.
Why don't you come in?
Yeah, come on in.
Yeah. Suffered a minor setback
since we last saw you.
Yes, I know. Linda filled me in a little.
-Change of address.
-Heart attack.
I called her, Arthur. I had to. I wanted to....
Park Avenue gets on your nerves
after a while.
Look, we just got here ourselves,
Mrs. Canby, so....
But it's....
It's fine. I mean, look, there's the fireplace,
and it evidently works.
I'll give you a tour.
Here's the kitchen,
which is really convenient, you know.
That's a bug bomb.
It's better than Roach Motel.
-Safer, too.
-Yeah.
And this is the bedroom.
See, Mrs. Canby,
what I thought we could do is...
move the bed over to there...
even if it blocks the bathroom a bit,
because this gives a bigger area...
for the nursery, you know.
It's light and sunny--
We're gonna let the kid
keep all the mice he catches.
We've blown it, haven't we, Mrs. Canby?
No, you haven't. Come on, this will be fine.
Why don't we all go in the living room
and sit down and talk?
We had such a nice house.
Some of my favorite people
were raised in worse places than this.
This used to be an artist's place,
as you can tell.
Yeah, he's gonna come
pick this stuff up soon, I hope.
I'll sit on this.
Get the pecking order right.
So, Linda, you told me
you're working at a diner.
Yes. You can drop by any time you want.
All the free food you can eat.
Yeah. I recommend the meat loaf.
It's great.
-I enjoyed it.
-Thank you.
How about you, Arthur?
How are you doing with your drinking?
Great.
Have you been looking for a job?
We were just discussing that before you--
You know something?
He was on his way out when you came in.
That's terrific, 'cause I've got some news.
What news?
There's a baby.
-There's a baby?
-What? Did you hear that, Arthur?
Of course I did. I'm sitting closer to her.
I heard it before you.
Wait. There's a baby?
There's an unwed mother...
and her due date
is less than two weeks away.
And she wants to give up her baby
for adoption?
-My God, I got to get busy.
-That's great.
This is very, very unofficial,
but I would like to see it happen.
-Mrs. Canby....
-Us, too.
-I wasn't here today.
-Okay. All right.
I'll be back next week.
Can you have these walls painted by then?
What's your favorite color? Absolutely.
And can you have
some furniture in this room?
Absolutely.
And, Arthur, can you stay off the drinking
and get a job?
Absolutely.
Look, just think of it
as a big toy store for grown-ups.
-Okay. Yeah, that's a
