Sol?

Solly?

I just made some
fresh lemonade, Solly.

It's going to be
a nice day.

Not too hot.

Man: ohh!

Your back again,
papa?

Aww.

Why don't you move
into the shade, Sol?

Good morning,
uncle Sol.

Mother,
i was thinking.

If we could only
afford it,

Danish modern
would be so perfect.

Solly?

The editorial section.

So, Solly...

What do you think, huh?

About what?

What I told you
at brunch.

After all,
you live here, too.

You're paying
for it.

It really is
up to you.

Buy it and keep it.

What?

I said buy it...

Keep it...

The AM-FM television.

That's not what I mean.

I mean about
the trip to Europe.

Radio:
* I don't wanna be... *

Turn it down, joan.

This music bother you,
uncle Sol?

You sure you wouldn't
like some lemonade?

Did you sleep
long enough, my son?

I wasn't sleeping.

No. He was drawing
his pornographic pictures.

Give me that!

Oh, look at it!

My god! Look!
It's a nude girl!

Look at that,
uncle Sol! My god!

What have you
been doing? Ha ha!

Give it back to me!

Look what your son's
been doing!

Don't you know girls
aren't built that way!

All right!
Enough already, will you?

Why can't you
leave me alone?

As soon as you
come around, my son,

There's a disturbance.

Morton,
comb your hair, Morton.

You look like
some kind of character

With your hair like that.

Edward's picking me
up in 10 minutes,

And I don't want you
to frighten him.

What happens
to the time?

25 years. Do you
realize it, Sol?

Do I realize what?

25 years
next thursday.

Did you
know that, Sol?

Yes.

My sister.

My poor sister Ruth.

Mother.

25 years.

My sister Ruth was
beautiful like a picture.

Uncle Solly knows
how beautiful, mother.

He was married to her.

Sol, all you have to do
is say yes or no.

A final yes or no.

A final yes or no
about what?

The trip to Europe.

You want to go
to Europe, Bertha?

Not me, so much,

But they have
family plans now,

So why not?
It's a 17-day tour.

And why do you want
to go to Europe?

Mostly, it's him.
He says it'd be very good

For his standing
with the school board.

And he's always wanted
to visit there, anyhow.

The shrines
and the old cities-

There's an atmosphere
we don't have here.

Something
mellow.

Age lends
its own charm.

Why, you can almost
smell the difference.

It's rather like
a stink if I remember.

All� esta tu jefe,
Jesus!

No spanish, mama.

No spanish.
English.

You hurry now.

Couple of weeks
working for him

Ain't long enough
for you to be late.

Mama, you know what
your trouble is?

You know your trouble?
You worry!

You worry.

Now, me,
i don't worry, mama.

You know why?

Because I am going
a long way, mama.

Yeah! A long way.

Jesus...

No more trouble.

No more things
like that, Jesus.

No. No more, mama.

No more stealing,
no more numbers,

No more peddling,
no more nothing.

Strictly legit, ok?

Ok.

Mister?

How much will you
give me for this?

I'm here!

Let the business
now commence.

Ah, come on, now,
Mr. Nazerman.

Don't look that way, now.

Listen, i'm going
to insist-

I insist you dock me
exactly 20 minutes I late.

On the other hand,

I'll work so hard
for the next few hours

That you'll wind up
giving me time and a half.

To start with, i'm going
to open the front.

It's an award
for oratory.

I won it in a citywide
oratorical contest

Five years ago.
It's gold.

$1.00.

$1.00 for an important
award like this?

20,000 started.

50 semifinalists,
and I won.

I recited "the raven."

I was 1 of 20,000.

$1.00. Still at
the same address?

Uh-huh.
But it's gold.

Plate. $1.00.

Man the lifeboats!

Here I is again.

All right.
Gimme a dollar.

Honest and true,

It's like bailing out
an old leaky boat

Filled with holes.

You pawn something,

You buy something else,
and then you pawn that.

Each time, the boat's
gettin' deeper into the water.

Ha ha! Ain't it a wonder
a body stay afloat

As long as it do?

Aw, come on,
Mr. Nazerman. Smile.

Here I am with
a load of profit for you.

They's heirloom.

Makes a table
look like a table.

I'll sell them
for $10 a pair.

$2.00.

My goodness!

Why, these candlesticks
is very high quality.

Cost $25 when new.

Now, I could get $15 easy
down at Triboro pawn.

I suggest, mrs. Harmon,

That you take them
down to triboro pawn.

Ha ha ha!

You a merciless man
for sure.

$2.00!

Oh, i'm too pooped
to haggle, Mr. Nazerman.

Sold!

Oh, you's a hard man.
God pity you.

He's the only judge,
after all.

Be seeing you again,
Mr. Nazerman,

And that's for sure.

Take care now,
you hear?

Wait a minute,
mrs. Harmon.

You forgot
your ticket,

And you forgot
your $2.00.

You know,
i've been thinking.

Them suits in the back?

I'll make
a list of them,

First according
to the size,

And then another one
according to condition,

And then the type.

You know,
what I mean by that

Is summer or serge
or gabardine.

You know, that way
any suit anybody wants,

Pow! Put my finger on it
right away.

I'm just filled
with good ideas, man.

Good morning,
Mr. Nazerman.

Good morning.

$2.00.

Quite incidentally,
Mr. Nazerman,

I've just been reading
a very remarkable book-

Herbert Spencer's
genesis of science.

Yes, but then you
probably know it well.

It's a very good book.

I- I particularly like
his insistence

That science
is born of art,

Not the other way
around.

To me,
this was refreshing,

Coming from a man

That most modern thinkers
called old-fashioned.

Did any of your students
think of that

While you were
at Leipzig?

But Spencer didn't come up
with anything very new, really.

Pythagoras,
an artist at heart

And a great lover
of music,

Made the discovery that
the pitch of sound

Depends upon the length
of the vibrating string.

That was six centuries
before Christ.

I... I, uh...

From time to time,

I like to
drop in here

Because,
Mr. Nazerman,

A man gets hungry
for talk. Good talk.

There's your ticket,
and there's your $2.00.

Mr. Nazerman...

$2.00 will be...
quite all right.

I...

I apologize for talking
so much, Mr. Nazerman.

D- d-did...

Forgive me.

Yes?

Nazerman?

How's business,
Nazerman?

Business is
the same as usual.

We spend more money
than we take in.

Good. Pretty soon Uncle Sam
will have to pay us money,

Subsidize us.

Can't expect taxes from
a losing business, can they?

Ha ha ha!
That's funny, huh?

That's
pretty funny, huh?

I asked you a question,
professor.

Pawnshop.

Nazerman?

Yes, sir.
It's for you.

Yes?

We get disconnected
or something?

No. I hung up.

The word professor.
I don't like it.

You were a professor
once, weren't you?

What about that?

I asked you a question,
nazerman.

I don't like the word
professor from you.

I don't like
the way you say it.

Something else
bothering you?

Listen...

There'll be a new man
in later tonight.

He'll give you an estimate
for some repair work.

You give him a check.

He'll give you
your change in cash.

What's his name?

Savarese.

You be there,
professor.

Good morning.

My name is
Marilyn Birchfield.

I'm introducing
myself around.

In a sense,
i'm a new neighbor.

Yes?

I'm with the new youth
center down the block.

I thought i'd make
myself known

To the shopkeepers
in the vicinity

And perhaps get
some kind of help.

Support.

And?

Well, to get down to it,
Mr. Nazerman,

I'd like to put your name
down as a tentative sponsor.

Later on, we'll see what
you'd be willing to do and give.

Perhaps you could
see your way clear

To sponsoring one of
the children's teams.

You might even like to devote
evenings to coaching.

Have you any experience
with basketball?

Basketball.

You must be joking.

Well, uh...

Come to redeem,
uncle!

Possibly with
one of the crafts.

You don't have to make up
your mind right away.

Perhaps you'd like
to think about it.

I just wanted
to introduce myself.

That's always
the hardest part for me.

I get very tense

When I have to introduce
myself to people.

We all have to do things
we don't like sometimes.

If you're looking
for a handout,

Why don't you say so?

That's $18.75.

I don't regard these
contributions as handouts,

And i'm very sorry
that you do.

I think that anything
one can do for these children

Is an investment
in one's own future.

I'm not particularly
concerned with the future.

How much do you want?

I'll take anything
you're willing to give,

Regardless of
how it's given.

Is that the name
of the organization

I make the check out to?

Yes. The important thing is
the money will be well spent.

Do you always think
the worst of everyone?

A lot of people come
in here collecting-

Blind people
with 20/20 vision,

Deaf people who could hear
the tumblers on my safe

When I dial
the combination.

So with this experience,
i say why not you?

All right.
Why not me?

How much are you
willing to give?

You see, I have no pride.

And since you've been
so cooperative,

I'll come back again...

And again... and again.

Mr. Nazerman...

When are you
going to?

What?

To teach me.

Later.

Listen, your ad
in the paper said,

"A bright, willing-
to-learn young man."

That's why
i answered it.

And right now,
Mr. Nazerman,

I feel special bright
and special willing.

Hey! Ol!

Ooh! Aay! Ya-ha!

Later.
When?

Tonight.

That's good enough
for me!

I just got to learn
this business!

I just got to...

What's you saying,
Jesus?

How you doing?

Ain't it wild?

This thing is brand new.

Never been used.

Blades shiny, sharp,

Cut grass
down to the skin.

Yellow paint, gold paint,

Last a lifetime.

Where'd you get it?

What?

Why, it's a gift.

Yeah, a gift.

I would've returned it

To the store
my friend bought it,

Only I was embarrassed
to ask him where.

Ain't that the tRuth, man?

You understand the police have
lists of stolen merchandise?

Oh, now, man,
i ain't stole it!

A friend,
a friend give it to me.

Now, he figure
i make use of it.

Where'd you get these
numbers tattooed, uncle?

Aw, come on,
now, uncle.

Will you take
the thing?

Will you please
take the thing?

I'll give you $30.

Sold.

I ain't no trouble
at all.

Pleasure to do
business with you,

Ain't I now?

We be in again, uncle.

See you later, Ortiz.

Friends of yours,
Ortiz?

Oh, I know them.

Give me the number
on that contraption.

It's, uh...

"1-0-7... "

1-0-7...

"1-2."

1-2.

Mr. Nazerman...

You want to tell me
something, Mr. Nazerman,

What is that?

That. Is that a secret
society or something?

Yeah.

Yeah, well,
what do I do to join?

What do you do to join?

You learn
to walk on water.

Mr. Nazerman.
Mm-hmm.

Teach me gold.

Huh?

Well...

All right.
I'll teach you gold.

You know,
i got this uncle,

He lives in detroit,

He's been in business
for 42 years.

Grocery store.

You know, my old lady
tells me that that man

Is as Solid as
the rock of Gibraltar.

Every time his business is
getting bigger and bigger.

Even the cops
call him mister.

And he got this son.
He's about my age.

That kid in the store

Is going to get it all
when my uncle kick off.

You know what I mean.

That business
makes him Solid.

Like a king a little.

He passes his crown
down to his kids.

Me, i'm going
to get me a business.

I got that in my mind
for sure.

All I need
is the loot.

Well, you save
your pennies.

I'm going to do that.

Yes, sir,
i'm going to do that.

In the meantime,

I'm learning business
from a master.

You'll never learn it

Unless you pay attention
and stop talking.

Ok, i'm a clam.
Teach me gold.

Pay attention.

You take an object
like this watch.

This is a touchstone.

Rub it on the touchstone
like that.

See that? That leaves
a mark there.

Then you take
a little acid,

And you put it on that
mark on the touchstone

Like that.

Now you watch it,
you see?

Now, if that turns
a bright green,

Then that means
it's brass.

Let me write it down.

All right.

Bright green means
it's brass, right?

If it turns a milky white,
that means it's silver.

The name's savarese.

Redecorate the whole
damn place, uncle,

Say, 5,000 bucks.

Who do I make
the check out to?

The ACME
contracting company.

That's A-C...
M- E.

Be a good job, uncle.

Paint the whole damn
place pink and yellow.

Pink and yellow.
That's marvelous.

Your change-
5,000 bucks.

Count it.

Don't touch that.

What? Getting ready
for monday.

Back here on monday,
it'll be october.

Let's leave it
september, shall we?

How come?

Don't ask me how come.
Just do what I tell you.

Leave the calendar
alone and go home.

I'll see you monday,

And you sure will be
here on time, you hear?

I'm going to be here
practically early.

Get him!

Tessie!

What are you, a nut
or something? You moron!

Let's just go up

And sit down
and talk awhile.

I'm tired.

You know, my boss...

My boss been working my
back off all afternoon.

Oh, I don't like you
working too hard.

I don't like you
using all your energy.

Do you know me not
to have enough energy?

So don't
worry none, baby.

All you got to do

Is be around
when I do this.

Come here. Come here.

Ha ha ha!

Hey, Ortiz.

Hiya, Tangee.

Talking about you
a second ago.

You know what else?

Robinson couldn't believe
one word I told him.

He say, "how come
a smart boy like Ortiz

Working in the pawnshop?"

Ain't it what you say?

How come a smart boy
like Ortiz

Working in the pawnshop?

That's my business.

Now, now,
now don't get uptight.

Just how come?
That's all.

I mean, how come
you work there?

He's got his plans!

Crowd: shh!

He's learnin'.

It's a good business.

It's a chicken business-

$2.00 loan, $5.00 loan.

Peanuts.

You think?

Peanuts.

Try $5,000, man,

'Cause that's
what Mr. Nazerman

Must've put
in his safe.

Is he here?

Can't he sleep again
tonight, tessie?

Is that why
he came here,

To bring joy to his
dead friend's wife?

Shut the door, tess.

Close the door

And shut me off
from the two of you.

Shut me off from
the land of the dead.

He'll never forgive us

For sleeping
together, Sol.

To him, i'm still
Reuben's wife.

Honey?

You like me, huh?

Oh, honey, you know
why you do that?

'Cause you and me,
honey,

When that happens,

You and me can't be
nothin' better.

He's asleep.

That man Nazerman...

He knows things.

Baby, I wonder how much
it takes to open a pawnshop.

Hey, do you think 5,000?

Do you think 5,000,
baby?

Yeah. Must be.

I can help you
get that money.

I can. I can give
private sessions

And no splits
to the boss.

Honey, I can make us
an extra 100 or 2 a week.

I can go in with you.

I can be
a partner to you.

You know?

Yeah. That could be.

That could be, baby.

We'll see.

Is it your play
or my play?

Yours.
Mine.

I'll fix the calendar.

No.

Mr. Nazerman,
are you all right?

You...

You look... bad.

Don't stand there.
Find something to do.

Go on.
Find something to do.

Hey, uncle,
how much you give me

For this radio, huh?

Now, this hot
little old radio, man,

Is worth
plenty of rubles, man.

It's got lots of juice.

It's got short wave,
police call, boats.

Late at night, man,
you get outer space.

Come on, uncle,
just make me an offer.

Now, this is
a hundred-dollar radio.

It's got a clear tone.

Boy, that's clear as
a mother's old bell.

Come on, baby.

Show the man
your power, baby.

Blast him! Give him
some of that tone!

Oh, man,
you radio, you mother!

I'll give you $2.00.

You turn chicken on me,
radio, huh?

You always play
better than that!

It must be on account
of the heat, you know?

I'll tell you what.
You give me $8.00, huh?

I mean, that's-that's
my mother's radio.

I said
i'll give you $2.00

Come on. $5.00, you
blood-sucking cheater!

You money-grabbing
kike! 5!

Still live at
the same address?

Mm-hmm.
Aw, man, I'll-

I'll take
the 2 rubles, man.

You just give me
the 2. Take it.

I'm sorry, Mr. Nazerman.

For what?

For what that young man
said to you.

Sell your sorrow somewhere else,
miss Birchfield.

I came here mainly
to apologize.

For what?

I was tactless
the other day.

I forced myself on you.
I got angry.

It's bothered me
the whole weekend.

I suppose you think
I'm rather silly.

Walking over here
though,

I had a sensible
conversation with myself.

Would you like
to hear it?

How nice I thought
it would be

If you and i
had lunch together.

Like wednesday?
Thursday?

I'll bring
some sandwiches.

We'll have them
in the park.

Certainly you must be
joking, miss Birchfield.

Oh, no, I'm not.

Don't you think
it's rather-

No. No. Please,
don't say stupid.

Don't demean it.
I came to apologize.

So you came to
apologize and...

I accept your apology.
You have to excuse me.

What can I do for you?

Well, what do you want?

My diamond
engagement ring.

I want to borrow.

It's glass.

Glass?

He said it was real.

Wednesday or thursday?

What?

Lunch in the park.

Wednesday's
better for me.

Wednesday, thursday,
whatever you like.

All right.
I'll see you then.

Fine. Fine.

Teaching time,
Mr. Nazerman.

Time to teach.

Now, last time you
taught me gold, right?

What are you going
to teach me tonight?

Tonight I teach you
to save your pennies.

I'm going to do that,
Mr. Nazerman. Yes, sir.

Now, in the meantime,

I'm learning business
from a master, right?

So I got to know
one thing,

Something I've been
thinking about.

How come you people come
to business so naturally?

"You people"?

Oh, I see. Yeah.

I see. I see.
You, uh...

You want to learn
the secret

Of our success.
Is that right?

All right.
I'll teach you.

First of all,
you start off

With a period of
several thousand years

During which you have
nothing to sustain you

But a great
bearded legend.

You have no land
to call your own,

To grow food on
or to hunt.

You have nothing.

You're never in
one place long enough

To have a geography
or army or land myth.

All you have
is a little brain.

A little brain and
a great bearded legend

To sustain you
and convince you

That you are...

Special...
even in poverty.

But this, uh...

This little brain-

That's the real key,
you see.

With this little brain

You go out and buy
a piece of cloth.

Cut that cloth in two.

Sell it for a penny more
than you paid for it.

Buy another cloth.
Cut it into 3 pieces.

Sell it for
3 pennies profit.

But during that time
you must never succumb

To buying an extra piece
of bread for the table

Or a toy
for a child. No!

No, you must
immediately run out

And get yourself a still
larger piece of cloth.

So you repeat this
process over and over,

And suddenly you
discover something.

You have no longer
any desire,

Any temptation to dig into
the earth to grow food

Or gaze at limitless land
and call it your own.

No, no. You just
go on and on,

Repeating this process
over the centuries.

And suddenly you make
a grand discovery.

You have
a mercantile heritage.

You are a merchant.

You're known
as a usurer,

A man with
secret resources,

A witch,
a pawnbroker,

A sheeny, a mockie,
and a kike!

You're really some
teacher, Mr. Nazerman.

You're really...

Really the greatest.

Jesus?

Yeah?

�Como va tu trabajo?

Va bien, mama.
Muy bien.

�Si?

Si.

�Te gusta tu jefe?

Quien, Nazerman?
Si.

Uh-huh.

Sabe muchas cosas.

Si?

Estoy apprendiendo
muchas cosas por l.

Ay, que bueno.

Algun dia voy a tener
mi propio negocio.

Ay, que bueno.

Uno no va salir del tapo
careo apartamento.

Entonces quiere decir
que de ahora en adelante

Vas hacer
buen muchacho.

Of course.
I am a very good boy.

I am a good boy.

Un buen muchacho.

Ok, good boy.
Say good boy.

Pero...

Good boy.

No es lo mismo
que decir goodbye?

No, es otra cosa.
Ven aqu�. Ven aqu�.

Good boy.
Say good boy.

Good.

Good...

Boy.

Right. I am...

I am...

A good-I am.
I am. I am...

I am...

A good...

A good boy.

Nazerman...

I can't even look
at him anymore.

I start to blush.

...Nazerman
of leipzig.

Look, Tessie...

Don't be an
hysterical woman.

Neither one of us
has done anything

That we should
feel guilty about.

You'd better go
and see him.

I was in Auschwitz, too.

I came out alive.

You came out dead.

I'll have some coffee
for you when you come out.

Yeah. Yeah.

Guilt.

And there it is.

Guilt to find
yourself alive.

And so you
wrap yourself

In a kind of shroud

And feel you share
the dignity of death

With those
who really died.

Tell me...

Does blood ever flow
through you, Sol Nazerman?

Can you feel pain?

No.

You are a fake.

You breathe,
you eat, you walk.

You make money.

You take a dream
and give a dollar...

And give no hope.

I survive.

Survive?

A coward's survival,
and at what a price!

No love. No passion.

No pity! Dead!

Sol Nazerman,
the walking dead!

It's wednesday.

Yeah,
so it's wednesday.

We were to have lunch
together.

In fact, you set
the day yourself.

Had you forgotten?

Yes, I'm afraid I had.

Well, it-
it doesn't matter.

Here I am.

Miss Birchfield, I feel
i must be honest with you.

I do not wish to inflict
a failure on you,

But I do not welcome
your interest.

You were in
a concentration camp,

Weren't you?

That's no concern
of yours.

Would you like to hear
a little about me?

It really
doesn't matter.

No, I don't believe you
when you say that.

When I was a little girl,

I was fat and amiable,
and everyone liked me.

The boys used to think
i was a great sport.

I remember some of them
even told me solemnly

That I reminded them
of their sisters.

Well, in that
odd category,

I went to lots
of parties

And I had
loads of friends

And there was
nothing wrong.

Until one day I discovered
that I'd acquired...

A most
excruciating malady...

Loneliness.

One day there was
a young man.

We fell in love.

We got married.

He died. Like that.

His heart just stopped.

And I found out
that loneliness

Is the normal state
of affairs.

For most people.

My dear miss Birchfield,

How touchingly
naive you are.

Oh! You have
discovered loneliness!

You have found out that
the world is unjust and cruel.

Let me tell you something,
my dear sociologist-

That there is a world
different than yours,

Much different, and the people
in it are of another species.

Now, I ask you
a question.

What do you know?

I guess
I'm out of my depth.

Oh, I would say so.

But what happened
to me-

Is nothing.

No!

That's not so.

What makes you so bitter?

Bitter? Oh, no,
miss Birchfield,

I am not bitter.

No, that passed me by
a million years ago.

I'm a man
of no anger.

I've no desire
for vengeance

for what was
done to me.

I have escaped
from the emotions.

I am safe
within myself.

All I ask and want
is peace and quiet.

Why haven't you
found it?

Because people like you
will not let me!

Miss Birchfield, you
have made the afternoon

very tedious with
your constant search

for an answer.
And one more thing.

Please...
stay out of my life.

You shouldn't have
done that.

What's the matter, uncle?

Don't you like wednesdays?

You shouldn't
have touched it.

Well, it's done.

The boss wants you
to sign these.
