New Email Name NY1 52

Theme Brinkley

"Brinkley is my dog. "We love New York."

But he likes to eat Leftover sidewalk pizza.

I prefer to buy it.

He is a great ball player and they offered him to be a professional.

But he chose to stay with me and spend 1 8 hours a day...

...sleeping on a green cushion the size of a tire.

Don't you love New York in the fall?

It makes me want to buy things for school.

I'm almost ready.

I would send you a bouquet of sharpened pencils...

...if I knew your name and address.

On the other hand, not knowing It has its charm.

Did you oppress him?

Yes, I pressed it.

I'm so late!

Random House fired to Dick Atkins. How good.

Murray Chilton died. One less who I don't talk to.

Hurry up! Hurry up!

Vince got a great review. It's going to be unbearable.

Tonight, authors dinner.

-Do I have to go? -Joe Fox, you promised me.

It's label.

Can't I donate money?

"Freedom for Albanian authors"?

I'm in favor of that.

Okay, I'll go.

You will be late.

I know. I know.

Who is a happy dog? Who is a happy dog?

Welcome.

You have an email.

Very good. Down, down.

Dear friend: I like to start as if...

...it was already half of a conversation.

I pretend we're old and dear friends...

...instead of what we are:

People who don't know each other's names...

...who met online, something they had not done before.

"What will NY1 52 say today?" I wonder.

I turn on my computer.

I wait impatiently while it connects.

I go online and...

...my breathing stops until I hear those three little words:

"You have an email."

I don't hear anything, not even a noise from the streets of New York...

...only the beat of my heart.

I have an email...

...of you.

The electrician called. I collided with a deer last night.

He won't come until tomorrow.

The top shelves were late...

...because the pine has beetles.

Very good.

They fined us 50,000. The workers pissed from the roof.

Fantastic. That's fantastic.

Is the electrician there?

I told you I hit a deer. I knew you weren't listening.

You are right. I wasn't.

I don't hear anything. Nothing.

Not a sound from the street, only the beat of my heart.

I think it's like that, or something similar.

Patricia? Did they get engaged? You can tell me.

Commit?

Are you crazy?

I thought you liked it.

I like it.

I love Patricia. I love Patricia.

Patricia is incredible. It makes coffee nervous.

We should announce ourselves to the neighborhood, tell them we are coming.

I don't know, this is the bourgeois area.

It's like opening a crack house.

They're going to hate us.

As soon as they find out, they will join...

...to sabotage the greedy chain...

...that wants to destroy...

Everything they appreciate.

We will seduce them with our great facility...

...and our discounts and our armchairs and...

...our cappuccino.

Correct. at the beginning They will hate us, but...

...but we will captivate them in the end.

-Do you know why? -Why?

Because we will sell them cheap books and legal stimulants.

Meanwhile, We will put up a big sign:

"Superbookstore Fox. The end of civilization...

...as they know her!"

THE CORNER STORE

Good morning, Christina.

Good morning, Kathleen.

It's a beautiful day. Isn't it a beautiful day?

Yes, I guess. Yes, sure.

Idiot! What are you doing?

Watch where you're going! I have the green light!

Don't you love New York in the fall?

Perfect.

Incomparable.

Adhesive tape? What's wrong with you?

Nothing.

-You are in love. -In love? No.

Yes, you are right. I'm in love with Frank.

I practically live with Frank.

You will send the advertising Christmas this week?

Yes, on Monday. I promise.

I have an exam this Friday.

What's happening?

Nothing. Absolutely nothing.

You know, I'll just stand here until you tell me.

Well.

?It is infidelity if you get involved with someone by email?

Have you already had sex?

Of course not. I don't even know him.

I'm talking about cyber sex.

Well, you know, don't do it. As for You do it, they stop respecting you.

Well, it's not like that.

We send each other emails. It's no big deal.

Also, I'm thinking of leaving to do it because it is...

Out of control?

Confused.

But not. Because it's nothing.

Where did you meet him?

Look, I don't even remember.

On my birthday, I entered to "Over 30" out of curiosity.

And he was there. And we started talking.

About what?

Books and music, how much we like New York.

Harmless.

Meaningless.

Bouquets of pointed pencils.

How do you say?

Forget it.

We don't talk about anything personal. So I don't know his name...

...nor what he does or where he lives...

...so it will be easy for me stop watching it because I don't see it.

God. I could be next who enters the store.

-I know. -It could be...

...George.

Good morning.

Are you connected to the Internet?

Well, as far as I'm concerned...

...the internet is just another way of being rejected by a woman.

Good morning, Birdie.

What are you girls talking about?

Cyber ??sex.

I tried once, but the line was busy.

I know.

I know. One Saturday night I was very depressed...

Time to open!

Jessica and Maya, how are you today?

-Do they say "hello"? -Hello, Kathleen.

Good morning, The Corner Store. This is George, can I help you?

The construction is going well. We will open on time.

Although Kevin and I are worried...

...because of the neighborhood's reaction.

The fabric of this sofa, what is it? Does it have a name?

Money.

His name is money.

-Gillian chose it. -You guessed it.

-Your father is getting married again. -Really?

-Congratulations. -Thank you.

-Why? -Who knows?

-Love? -Likely.

I think you are a fool.

Dad, Matthew is four years old.

It will be good for him that their parents get married.

Listen, I have an unfortunate announcement.

City Books...

...on 23rd Street...

...closes the business.

Another independent is defeated.

Let's move on to the next one.

I'm going to buy the inventory from you of architecture...

...and history of New York.

How much, son? How much will you pay?

Whatever it is, it won't be that much...

...like that exquisite angora sofa...

...which is now upon me.

Here you go.

We will also have a section...

...dedicated to writers in the area.

To appease the neighborhood.

Perfect. Keep those liberals, pseudo intellectuals...

Readers, dad. They are called readers.

Don't do that, son. Don't idealize them.

You will avoid being attacked.

And the competition?

A mystery shop, Hound, at 78th and Amsterdam...

...and one for children. The Corner Store.

It has been there for centuries.

Cecilia's store.

Who is she?

Cecilia Kelly.

A charming woman. I think we went out once.

Maybe we exchanged letters.

Did you write letters to him?

Mail. It was called mail.

-Stamps, envelopes... -I've heard about that.

Cecilia had beautiful handwriting.

He was too young for me, but...

...was...

...lovely.

- Lovely? -Your daughter is the owner now.

I feel sorry for her.

Excuse me, Mr. Fox.

My father is getting married again.

He has been living with a certain Gillian for five years...

...who studied decoration in Las Vegas.

Is it porcelain?

Rubber.

I once read a story about a butterfly on the subway and today...

...I saw one.

He got on at 42...

...and got off at 59.

I guess I was going to Bloomingdale's...

...to buy a hat. A mistake...

...as are almost all hats.

Listen to this:

Every night a truck arrives at the bakery...

...and pumps a ton of flour in the underground tubes.

And the air fills...

...of white powder that never seems to settle.

Why is that?

Confession: I have read Pride and Prejudice about 200 times.

I get lost in the language. Words like:

"Once."

"Misfortune".

"Bliss".

I agonize over whether Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy...

...they will end up together.

Read it.

I know you will love it.

Places like Starbucks...

...they exist so that people no capacity...

...decision make six, only to buy a cup of coffee.

Small, big, light, dark...

...with caffeine, decaffeinated...

...with or without milk...

...etc?tera.

A large mocha frappuccino.

A person who does not know nothing at all...

...you can for only 2.95...

...not just getting a coffee...

...but also a sense absolute of his identity.

Great!

Decaf!

Cappuccino!

a cappuccino large decaf.

FOX SUPERBOOKSTORE in the corner

VERY SOON

How bad.

A Fox Superbookstore.

What a nightmare.

It has nothing to do with us. It's big, impersonal...

...recharged and full from ignorant sellers.

But they have discounts.

But they do not provide any service.

We do.

So really...

...is a good sign.

In the flower district, There are plenty of flower shops where...

...you find what you want.

Well, this will be the book district.

If they don't have it, we do.

And vice versa.

Absolutely.

when you finish with Fox Bookstores...

...the Corner Store will be responsible...

...to reverse the entire course of the Industrial Revolution.

Wow, how sweet.

Thank you. That's very sweet.

-Although I... -What?

One minute. What's that doing here?

Ah, incredible.

This is amazing.

Listen.

The Olympia Report of electric luxury.

Report.

Like a bullet.

-That sound is familiar. -Listen to this.

What, that squeak?

The delicate, sedative lullaby...

...of such perfect machinery...

I know where I heard that before.

I needed a replacement.

Don't you have another one in your apartment?

-Could be. -Have you written something?

Does it matter?

What were you going to say?

-When? -Before.

-Nothing. -Tell me.

Well I wonder about my job and all that. And I'm...

And I wonder, what exactly do I do?

Everything I do...

Everything you do...

...it is an incredibly noble thing.

-Well, I don't know. No, actually... -Kathleen!

You are a lonely plant.

You are a plant...

...lonely...

...standing...

...proud...

...rocking you boldly...

...in the corrupt sands...

...of commerce.

I am a solitary plant.

Sometimes I wonder about my life.

My life is simple, well...

...valuable, but simple.

And sometimes I wonder...

...do I do it because I like it?

Or because I haven't been brave?

So much of what I see reminds me something I read in a book...

...and shouldn't it be the other way around?

I don't want an answer.

I just want to send this question cosmic to space.

So...

...good night, dear space.

I know you!

I know you. Hello, Annabel, little one.

How are you?

And you.

Matthew, how are you?

Good.

Do you want to say hello to New Jersey?

-Hello, New Jersey! -Hello, New Jersey!

Isn't it my turn to say "hello"?

Hello, Gillian.

Give me a kiss. She will be your evil stepmother.

Made. Hello. And who is she?

The babysitter I brought it in case you can't with the children.

Maureen is getting divorced.

I'm sorry.

It's my fault.

never get married with a man who lies.

That is very wise. Yes. Remember that.

Matt knows how to spell his name.

Really?

-I want to hear it. -F-O-X.

Excellent.

Excellent. I don't have any problem. Take the day.

Surely something awaits you. Help the homeless or maybe...

...to the Bosnian refugees.

That's right. They are going to preserve my eggs.

And preserve the eggs. Don't worry.

See you.

Goodbye, mommy.

Alright guys, Ready to go sailing?

What happened to you? What happened?

Oh, come on. You are terrible. Once again.

Here, you can get that one right.

What do we gain?

Look, look, look!

-How about the little fish? -They are very good. Happy.

Really?

Hey, do you want to go to the movies?

No, they don't do anything good.

Look, the lady of the stories.

Is it story time? Yes, let's go in.

"That it was me and only me...

...that of the idea for the great and daring plan of the mouse.

We all have moments of genius and glory...

...and this was mine.

Why not, I said...

...we put it in a candy jar of Mrs. Pratchett?

And then...

...when he puts his dirty hand to grab sweets...

...I'll grab a stinky dead mouse.

The other four They looked at me amazed.

And then, when the genius of the plan started to take shape...

...everyone started to smile.

They patted me on the back.

They danced around the classroom.

"We will do it today!" they shouted.

We will do it today. The idea is yours, they told me.

"So you put the mouse in the jar."

Whose fish is this?

It's mine.

Can you help me with these used books?

And this is her best friend Tacy...

...whose real name is Anastasia.

And in the next, Betsy and Tacy They become friends with Tib...

...whose real name, I'm sorry to tell you, it's Thelma.

The illustrations are glued by hand.

Is that why it costs so much?

No, that's why it's worth so much.

I love them all.

I'll think about it.

It's a lot for your dad.

My dad buys me all the books I want.

Well, how kind.

That's not my dad. He is my nephew.

It doesn't seem to me that could be your nephew.

No, it's true.

Annabel is my aunt. Isn't that true, Aunt Annabel?

-And Matt is his... -Wait, wait, let me guess.

Are you his uncle?

No.

Your grandfather?

Your great-grandfather?

I am your brother.

Matt is my father's son.

Annabel is my grandfather's daughter.

We are...

...a typical family.

Here you go, young lady.

-What is that? -A handkerchief.

?Children don't know what is a handkerchief?

Kathleen Kelly. Store owner. And you are?

Joe. Call me Joe.

F-O-X.

Incredible. Do you know how to spell "FOX"?

Can you spell "dog"?

F-O-X.

Check out this dinosaur book. It has figures.

You don't want a book of dinosaurs like that?

Wouldn't you like to read it? Take.

Sit here and read the book to him to Matt while I finish here.

Whatever the case, don't listen to anything. from what I say, okay? Thank you.

We will take the book of dinosaurs too.

The world is not managed for discounts, believe me.

I have spent my life in commerce.

I helped my mom since I was six years old and I watched her.

And he didn't just sell. What I did...

...was to help people be what they would like to be.

When you read as a child it becomes part...

...of your identity like it will never happen again.

I got carried away by enthusiasm.

Yes, it's true.

You made me feel...

...charming. Your mother was lovely.

Yes, she was.

-How will I pay for this? -In cash.

How did you know that?

For photography.

Is it you? What are they doing?

Going around.

My mother and I always went around.

Anyway, I left the store and I will leave it to my daughter.

-It's 73 dollars. -How much?

73 dollars.

How old is your daughter now?

I don't have a daughter.

I'm not married.

But eventually...

The greedy Fox Superbookstore can go to hell.

Here you go.

Thank you. Are we ready?

-You can see it well. -Goodbye, Kathleen.

Goodbye, Annabel. Goodbye, Matt.

Matt, I have to ask you something else.

Do you know how to spell "cat"?

F-O-X.

Cat. Thank you.

Luckily it wasn't "fish".

See you!

FOX AND CHILDREN BOOKS

TODAY GRAND OPENING 35% OFF

Not a protest, not a demonstration.

The neighborhood loves us.

They wonder where we all were...

...these years and what it was like before.

It's a success.

And the children's department?

Everyone is still in school.

And there is that children's store nearby, The Corner Store.

Cecilia's store. Cecilia Kelly.

I think we went out once.

Now it belongs to his daughter.

We will destroy it!

She was charming.

It's been six days since they opened. And we sold...

...1,200 dollars less that the same week...

...last year.

It could be a coincidence.

Or maybe not.

Listen, the store is new. It's a novelty.

It will be like before. Meanwhile, I will put up more lights.

Good idea.

What if we have to close?

I won't find another job part time...

...you won't be able to pay the rent, and I will have to move.

To Brooklyn!

The joy of rent control. Six rooms...

...for 450 dollars a month.

You've already said it a million times.

I can't believe you bring that up. at a time like this.

It's like people who brag because it is tall.

Friends, we are not closing.

This place is a tomb.

I'm going to the nut store for fun.

Miranda!

Kathleen, are you still surviving?

We are excited about your book. When will you sign copies?

It will be published in January.

Will you still be here in January?

I am very worried.

We are doing very well.

Right?

Everything continues as before!

Fantastic.

Thank God.

Count on me for anything.

Support. Demonstrations. protests.

The Times could write something.

Or the wacko from the Observer.

-What crazy Observer? -Frank I don't-know-what.

The lover of his typewriter.

It's the kind of thing that would scandalize him.

Crazy? Did he call me crazy?

That doesn't matter. she believes that my store is in danger.

Why would I say that? There is business for everyone.

Yes. Definitely.

We're ok.

More than good. Absolutely good.

We're ok.

How are they?

Good.

Vince will be glad to see you.

Congratulations. Guess who I saw on the subway today.

To William Spungeon.

I don't know who it is.

Incredible. He told me:

"You should go to some hot springs.

"You should really go to the hot springs."

Can you bring me another drink? I ran out.

"Because it's a great place...

...to calm down."

He told me that. Isn't it funny?

Champagne, please.

Vodka with ice. In another glass, please.

White wine, please.

-Here you go. -Thank you.

Do you remember? The store?

Of course I remember you.

How is your aunt?

Very good. Thank you.

I better take this.

I have a very thirsty date. Almost like a camel.

Joe, right? Is your name Joe?

And you are Kathleen.

Kathleen Kelly.

Two white wine, please.

I can't believe that You were talking to Joe Fox.

Joe Fox?

-As in... -Like he's going to keep everything.

Fox. Your last name is Fox.

F-O-X.

God.

I didn't realize.

I didn't know.

Who were you with? I didn't know who you were with.

How do you say?

It's from The Godfather.

Sorry, it's from The Godfather.

It's when the...

...producer realizes that...

...Tom Hagen is an emissary by Vito Corleone.

just before that the horse's head...

...ended up in bed. He wakes up and exclaims:

It doesn't matter.

You went to spy on me.

And you rented the children.

Why would I spy?

Because I'm your competition and you know it well...

...or you wouldn't have put up the sign, "In the corner."

The entrance to our store It's in the corner.

And that's all.

It is not the name of our store. It's where it is.

And you are not the owner...

...from the phrase "on the corner."

What is that?

What are you doing?

What is that? What are you doing?

Do you take all the caviar? It's a garnish.

Look. I came into your store because...

...spent the day with Annabel and Matt.

I bought them gifts.

I am a man who likes...

...buy things for the children.

There was only one place that sold books for children in the neighborhood.

It will not always be like this.

And it was yours. And it is...

...an adorable book store.

You probably sell, what, $350,000 worth of books a year?

How did you know that?

I'm in business.

I am in business.

I see.

And we sell at a discount.

But instead of selling 30 liters of olive oil at 3.99...

...they wouldn't fit in the kitchen, We sell cheap books.

Me, a spy? Definitely.

I have in my possession...

...the super secret copy of sales...

...from a bookstore, that although insignificant...

...she is so confident in herself...

...which I feared would lead me to ruin.

What? What?

How are you? Frank Navasky.

Joe Fox.

-Joe Fox? -F-O-X.

The inventor of the super store, of course.

The enemy of the novel for exclusive sale...

...which destroyed City Books.

How do you sleep at night?

I use a wonderful non-prescription drug.

Ultra-sleep

It only takes half...

...and you will wake up without the slightest hangover.

You're Frank Navasky, right?

Your latest article in the Observer...

...on Anthony Powell was brilliant.

Bright. Yes.

I'm Patricia Eden.

Eden Publishing.

This man is the greatest expert living on...

...Julius and Ethel Rosenberg.

"Really...

This is Kathleen Kelly.

...did you like my article? I'm sorry. I... I feel flattered.

You write and wait that someone will read.

The phone doesn't ring and you think:

"I'm a fraud. A failure or something."

You know what fascinated me...

...about the Rosenbergs?

How old they looked when they were our age.

Do you know?

I'm glad I met you.

We will talk. Have you thought about writing a book?

Yes, but something appropriate for today...

...like the luddites in 19th century England.

Call me.

Have you ever eaten caviar garnish?

I had no idea that Frank Navasky...

...it was so unpretentious.

When you read his stuff...

...you think it must be incomprehensible.

He always talks about Heidegger...

...of Foucault.

And I have no idea what it's actually about.

You know, I'm not tired. At all.

Don't you sometimes feel that you have become in the worst version of yourself?

What a Pandora's box...

...with the secret, hateful parts, of your arrogance, your resentment...

...your condescension...

...has it been opened?

Someone provokes you, and instead of smiling...

...and continue, you verbally attack them.

"Hello, I'm Mr. Merciless."

I'm sure you have no idea What am I talking about?

No, yes I know what you mean and I'm totally jealous.

When they provoke me, My tongue gets stuck.

My mind stays...

...blank.

Then I roll over in bed...

...thinking what I should have said.

What should I say, for example, to...

...unhappy bastard...

...who recently insulted my existence?

Nothing.

Nothing. Even now.

Even now...

...days later...

...I can't imagine it.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if it could happen to you? my biting words?

I would never behave badly and you you would behave badly all the time.

We would both be happy.

But I must warn you:

When you finally have the pleasure to say what you want...

...whenever you want, remorse inevitably follows.

Do you think we should meet?

Know each other?

Oh my God.

72.27.

This line is cash only.

-What? -Cash only.

Oh my God!

I only have a credit card.

I'm sorry. Is it okay?

No. It's not right.

There is a sign.

I'm sorry. Very sorry.

I ask you to make an exception.

Don't have cash?

-You don't have cash. -No, he doesn't have cash.

Go to another line.

I have a dollar. That's all.

I have a dollar. One dollar.

-Can you do something? -Hello.

-Hello. -Do you need money?

No, I don't need money. Thank you so much.

Go to another line.

Rose.

It's a beautiful name. Rose.

This is Kathleen. I'm Joe. And...

And I'm Henry.

Henry, how are you? Happy holidays.

This machine processes credit cards.

Happy Thanksgiving.

It's your turn to say "Happy Thanksgiving."

Happy Thanksgiving.

Knock, knock.

-Who is it? -Peaches.

Peaches what?

Dur-do us a favor...

...to process this card of credit for the machine.

Please. Do it. Yes, yes.

That is.

Rose?

That's a beautiful name.

Everything okay?

Good.

Happy Thanksgiving. Henry, happy Thanksgiving.

Very sorry. Excuse me.

-I'm sorry, with all my heart. -Sign now!

I would like to go home.

He takes my pen.

The sun will shine tomorrow

Bet your last cent

Tomorrow the sun will shine

And think about tomorrow

Dispel all my sadness and sorrow

Until none are left

Although today the day is gray

and I feel alone

I lift my head and smile

And I say:

The sun will shine tomorrow

So you must hold on until tomorrow

It doesn't matter what happens

Tomorrow, tomorrow

I love you, tomorrow

Because you are only one day away

away

-Wonderful! -Thank you.

"Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Wednesday."

The answer to your question...

...is "Go to the mat."

You are at war. "It's not personal. It's business."

It's not personal. They are business.

Repeat that to yourself every time that you start to lose courage.

You are worried about being brave.

Don't do it.

This is your chance.

Fight.

Fight until you die.

It's not personal. They are business. Fight.

Fight, fight!

I was thinking.

What?

I decided to "go to the mat."

It would be a conflict of enormous interest...

...if you wrote about the store?

-Yes. -Yes?

No.

Will you do it then?

Yes. Yes.

Do you know what "go to the mat" means?

From The Godfather.

Good morning. Corner Store.

Can I help you?

Those from Channel 2 arrived.

In a second.

Everyone read the article.

"And so, you don't have to look to the usual places...

...where good and evil collide...

...the places that Herodotus called the happy land...

...of absolutes.

We have the perfect example here in the area...

...where the fat cow from Fox Bookstores...

...threatens survival of a temple...

...dedicated to this profound truth of the 20th century:

"You are what you read."

I believe that.

"Save the Corner Store...

...and save his soul."

Frank, that's lovely.

Isn't that a bit exaggerated?

It was The Village Voice. They will come one of these days.

Good. Very good.

"Float like a butterfly. "It stings like a bee."

One, two, three, four! We don't want your super store!

Five, six, seven, eight! Go away and close the doors!

One, two, three, four!

"We don't want this super store."

-Is that what they say? -Catchy, yes.

Who wrote that?

Annoying.

In fact, it's irritating me.

They want the area...

...becomes a center giant commercial?

They want to get off the subway at 72nd and Broadway...

...and not knowing that they are in New York?

We can save The Corner Store?

Yes!

We are facing to The Corner Store...

...the famous children's bookstore...

...which is now for closing its doors...

...because the bad wolf, Fox...

...it was installed a few meters away...

...attracting customers with discounts and specialized coffee.

They need discounts and coffee.

Those who work there They never read a book.

It's not so nice as it seems on television.

-Do you know her? -Yes.

It's a pain.

It's probably not pretty as seen on TV.

No no. It's beautiful.

But it's a pain.

Don't feel bad...

...for sending it...

...to a homeless shelter.

White, single woman.

It's not personal.

-They are business. -Yes.

Ah, you have a handsome guy!

I sell cheap books. Sue me for that.

In short, that is the Fox philosophy.

Is that what you said?

Discount and sell them.

That wasn't the only thing I said!

I can't believe it. I said we're fantastic!

What you can read for hours without being bothered.

That we have 1,50,000 titles. He showed them the section of the city.

I said we're a damn piazza.

A place to enjoy social life.

I was eloquent!

Damn it!

It's inevitable, I guess.

They want to turn her into Joan of Arc.

And you in Attila of the Huns.

Not to me personally, to the company.

I met Joe Fox.

And I heard him compare his store to a sales club...

...and books to olive oil cans.

The bookstore, tell us about it.

The Corner Store...

...has a Jeffersonian purity in itself...

...that the city needs to maintain its historical integrity.

Purity a la Jefferson.

Very kind. Thank you.

-Are you recording this? -Yes, I am.

Technologically, we are out of control.

Let's take the VCR.

The purpose of the VCR is that it makes possible...

...that one records what is shown on TV when one is not there.

Of course, the idea of leaving the house...

...is not having to see...

...what they show on television.

-I heard you say that once. -Not her.

Absolutely.

TRUE.

He understands it.

Radio. It is a medium that I can support.

Will you collect radios?

We are on TV.

You're good at this.

He's flirting with you.

No. They do this on television.

The Corner Store...

...is a true New York treasure.

Like you too.

I would love to interview you again.

Are you sweating?

He is touching himself and sweating.

When you like.

We can turn it off.

Oh my God.

I want to add that yours It's the only program I watch.

Oh my God.

No. I wanted to be nice.

-Thank you, Frank Navasky. -Thanks to you.

"Thanks to you." Sorry.

"Thanks to you"?

Thanks to you, ladies and gentlemen.

I drooled all over it, right?

But I think there's something there.

CLOSED

First I have to go shopping eucalyptus candles...

...because they make my apartment smells like moss.

Then I go to the market.

And I can't decide whether to buy...

...sausage for meat sauce or ground beef.

Spare us the details.

Clam sauce.

Because I want to impress her.

Don't tell me. Not the slightest difference?

How can it be?

?All this advertising and not a bit of difference?

Oh, Birdie, what am I going to do?

What would mom have done?

Well, let's ask him.

Cecilia, what should we do?

He has no idea.

But he thinks the display case is beautiful.

Good night, dear.

I need help.

Do you still want to meet me?

I would love to meet you. Where? When?

I guess I'll bring a book...

...with a flower inside.

Really?

It could be an eyesore, friend.

I'll only stay ten minutes.

I'll say "hello." I'll have a coffee and go.

That's what he will do.

I hope I don't have a voice like Cinderella's mice. I hate that.

Why do I do this? Why do I want to meet her?

Why?

Don't worry. You take it to the next level.

I always do that.

I always have a relationship to the other level.

If that works out, I'll take it to the level. What follows that one.

Until I reach that level where It is absolutely necessary...

...let me go.

I'm not going to stay that long.

I already said that, didn't I?

Very good. Lalo Coffee. The time has come.

8:00. How quickly we arrived, right?

He is the most adorable creature with which I have interacted.

And even if it turns out to be so beautiful like a mailbox...

...I would be crazy if I didn't change my life and I would marry her.

It could be an eyesore.

But good luck.

Could you go and take a look?

Yes, look out the window and find out. Please?

It's okay.

-You feel sorry for me, friend. -I know.

Very good. Let's see what I see.

Do you see her?

Wait, yes.

I see a very beautiful girl.

It's beautiful.

-I knew it. -It's beautiful.

I knew it was. I knew it.

But he doesn't bring a book.

It's okay. Wait a minute.

There is a book with a flower. That's what she must be like.

And what does it look like?

The waiter is in the middle.

Damn it!

Wait. It moves.

Can you see it?

Yes.

And?

It's very pretty.

It's pretty!

I knew it was! It had to be!

It had to be!

You know what?

It looks like...

I mean, it looks the same as...

...this Kathleen Kelly.

Kathleen Kelly from the bookstore?

So what? You found it attractive.

Absolutely. To whom Do you care about Kathleen Kelly?

Well, if you don't like Kathleen Kelly...

...I can tell you right now that...

...you won't like this one.

Why not?

Because it's Kathleen Kelly.

What are you going to do?

Nothing.

How come nothing? Will you leave her waiting?

Yes. That's what I'm going to do.

Good evening, Kevin. I'll see you in the morning.

Do you mind if I take the chair?

Yes, it bothers me. I'm sorry.

I'm waiting for someone.

Another cup of tea?

Yes. Thank you.

What a coincidence. Do you mind if I sit down?

Yes, I actually care. I'm waiting for someone.

Pride and Prejudice.

With permission.

You probably read it every year.

You sure love that one...

...Mr. Darcy.

And your sentimental heart beats thinking that he and...

...well, you know, what's-her-name...

...they're really going to end up together.

- Shall I bring you something? -No. He won't stay.

Decaffeinated mocachino.

No. You're not staying.

When your friend arrives I'm leaving.

Are you late?

The heroine of Pride and Prejudice It's Elizabeth Bennett.

He is a magnificent and complex character. Not that you know.

In fact, I have read it.

Congratulations.

You would discover many things if you knew me

I know what I would find.

Instead of a brain, a cash register. Instead of heart, profits.

What?

-I overcame an obstacle. -What was it?

I must thank you. For the first time...

...in my life, in front of a horrible person...

...I knew exactly what I wanted to say and I said it.

Well, you have a gift.

You combined poetry and evil perfectly.

Evil? I'll tell you something evil.

Don't get me wrong. I wanted to give you a compliment.

Why do you touch that? What are you doing?

Is it a red rose? No. It's crimson.

Something you read, no doubt.

Do you find it funny?

It's all a joke to you.

Please go.

Please go. I beg you.

Thank you.

Do you know what that scarf reminds me of? The first day I saw you.

The first day you lied to me.

-I didn't lie to you. -Of course.

-No, I didn't lie to you. -Yes, you lied to me.

You lied to me.

That whole "F-O-X" thing I thought it was adorable.

Well, I didn't lie to you.

-Joe? Just "call me Joe." -Yes, sure.

As if you were a fool 22 years old without last name.

"Hi, I'm Kimberly." "Hi, I'm Janice."

Don't they know you should have a last name?

They look like a generation of dull waitresses.

Look.

-I'm not a 22-year-old waitress. -I did not mean that.

When I said about sales and the oil...

...I didn't mean that.

Poor sad billionaire. I feel very sorry for you.

I guess it's not him either.

Who could it be? I wonder.

It certainly won't be the greatest expert in the world...

...about Julius and Ethel Rosenberg.

But someone totally different.

Will you be mean to him too?

No, of course not.

Because the man who will come It's totally different from you.

The man who will come here He is kind and fun.

It has a wonderful sense of humor

But...

...is not here.

If it's not there, there's a reason.

Because there is not a bone of cruelty on his body.

But I don't expect you to understand to no one like that.

You with your multi-level fair...

...and mocachino for a homogeneous world.

You are deceived if you believe...

...a benefactor who brings books to the masses.

But no one will remember you, Joe Fox.

And maybe no one will remember me.

But many people remember my mother.

And they admire her...

...and they believe that their store It was something special.

You are nothing more than an executive.

I think it's time to go.

Good night.

YOU DON'T HAVE EMALL

Then the representative asks 600,000 dollars and I told him:

"If you even think I'm going to talk to you...

...about such an advance to an author...

...whose latest book is used like coasters all over the world...

...you are completely crazy."

It was insulting and provocative. And the only pleasant thing...

...it was the way he liked it the hair on the forehead.

Beneath that nasty exterior It can be a real...

A real misfortune.

Let's not talk about that.

I'm going to the office. I'm sure you have a job.

Not really.

This place is a machine well lubricated, friend.

Tell me. What happened?

He didn't come.

I left you standing.

I wouldn't describe it that way. I think something happened.

something terrible and unexpected that prevented him...

What if he showed up, looked at me and left?

It's not possible.

Maybe there was an accident on the subway.

Definitely.

A train was trapped with him inside.

And without a phone.

And you know that those trains they create suction.

The tracks sucked him in.

The third rail.

I kicked the bucket.

What happened?

I couldn't get there.

Did I leave you standing?

Maybe he had an accident. Taxi drivers are crazy.

They collide with something and you get hit against the plastic partition.

Or they put his elbows in a cast and couldn't dial the number.

Or he could be unconscious.

In a coma.

Immobile, under intensive care.

The monitor emitting a signal.

And how...

No phone.

KILLER CAUGHT FROM THE ROOFTOPS

What do you mean?

It could be.

They arrested him two blocks from the caf�.

Is there a photograph?

That explains it.

He was in prison.

There was a telephone.

He used it to call his lawyer.

How lucky you are.

You could be dead.

It is impossible that it was the Rooftop Killer.

Do you remember when you believed that Frank was the Unabomber?

Well...

...that was different.

How long were you there alone?

Not much. Joe Fox entered.

I don't want to talk about that. To work.

There will be something to do. There is always something to do.

-Look at this. -He looks quite handsome.

Well?

He was inevitably detained.

Did I leave you standing?

I've been thinking about you.

Last night I went to meet you and you weren't there.

I wish I knew why.

I felt so stupid.

Then another person showed up.

A man who has ruined my professional life.

And an amazing thing happened.

For the first time in my life...

...I could say what I wanted...

...at the exact moment in what I wanted to say it.

And of course then I felt horrible...

...just like you said would happen.

I was cruel, and I am never cruel.

I doubt he cared though. to this man.

To him, I'm just an insect that must be crushed.

But what if it wasn't like that?

It doesn't matter what he did to me.

My behavior is unforgivable.

Anyway...

...I had many wishes to talk to you.

I hope you have a good reason for not having come.

You don't seem like the type of person who would do something like that.

The strange thing about this way communication...

...is that you talk more about "nothing" than "something."

But I just want to say...

...that all this "nothing" It has meant more to me...

...than many "somethings".

So thank you.

Goodbye.

I'm in...

...Vancouver.

I was in a meeting...

...from which I could not get out...

...and...

...the electricity went out.

And...

...we are trapped...

...on the 38th floor, and...

...the telephone system also failed.

Truly incredible.

Dear friend.

I can't tell you what happened last night.

But I beg you from the bottom from my heart...

...forgive me for not going.

Because of what happened.

I am very sorry that you found yourself in a situation...

...which caused you additional pain.

But I'm absolutely sure...

...whatever you said last night was provoked.

Even deserved.

We all say things we regret when we are worried or tense.

You were hoping to see someone who did you trust...

...and instead you found to the enemy.

It's my fault.

Someday I will explain everything to you.

Meanwhile...

...I'm still here.

Talk to me.

?He said something about wanting meet again?

No, not really.

Look, it doesn't matter.

We will be like George B. Shaw and Mrs. Campbell.

We will always write to each other.

Thanks for the cupcakes. They look tasty.

Birdie, where is this from?

From Seville.

When did you fall madly in love?

Tell me, dear, what did you decide to do?

Close. Let's close.

Close.

Close the store...

...it's the bravest thing you can do.

What a liar you are. But, thank you.

Do you dare to imagine that you could have a different life.

I know it doesn't feel like that. You feel like a big failure.

But you're not.

You are marching into the unknown, armed with...

...nothing.

Help yourself to a sandwich.

Well, not at all.

I have some money saved.

If you need more, ask me. I am very rich.

I bought Intel shares six dollars.

I guess they want...

...let me tell you who...

...I fell madly in love.

But he won't say anything.

Who was it, Birdie?

Come on, tell us. How bad you are.

But how romantic.

-It was not predestined. -Why?

He ruled Spain.

Spain?

The country. He ruled it. It was his job.

And then he died.

That's life.

Milk or lemon?

She fell in love with General Francisco Franco.

Don't say that. We don't know.

Who else if not? It was probably in 1960.

-Do you want popcorn? -I can't believe this.

He was not a normal person...

...like a socialist or an anarchist.

It happened in Spain.

people do stupid things abroad.

Absolutely. They buy bags of leather for more than its value.

But they don't fall in love of fascist dictators.

Birdie is a person very special for me.

She's practically my surrogate mother.

-She's crazy. -It isn't true.

I couldn't be with someone...

...that he would not take politics Seriously like me.

Please.

A sausage sings.

?You need silence while singing a sausage?

I have something to tell you, Frank.

-I didn't vote. -What?

In the last election for mayor...

...when Rudy Giuliani objected to Ruth Messinger...

...I went to get a manicure.

And I forgot to vote.

Are you going to the manicure?

I guess you wouldn't date a woman who goes to the manicure.

Forget it. It's okay.

I forgive you.

Do you forgive me?

Excuse me, sorry. Permission.

It's been a difficult week. You close the store...

No, it's not that. Really, it's not that.

I know. It was terrible of me.

What was terrible?

Attacking you like that when I am...

God, I don't even know how to say this.

What?

What?

You are a wonderful person, Kathleen.

You too.

And it is an honor that you want be with me...

...because you would never be...

...with no one...

...that wasn't really worthy.

I feel exactly...

...same.

Don't say that. That makes it worse.

What?

You don't love me.

Me neither.

Don't you love me?

No.

But we are for each other.

I know.

Tell me, is there another person?

That woman on television, Sidney Ann.

Nothing at all happened, but...

Are you from the Republican Party?

I can't help it.

And what about you?

Is there another person?

No.

No. But...

...but the dream exists from another person.

EVERYTHING 40% OFF BY CLOSING

Honey, carry The Swan Trumpet.

This is a tragedy.

Do you sell the chairs?

Everything that is not nailed.

For ten dollars they are yours.

What are you going to do now?

I don't know. I think it will take me a long vacation.

Good luck.

He came every Saturday when I was a girl

I remember when your mom gave me Anne of Green Gables.

"Read it with a box of tissues," he said.

That's what he told me.

-Can you help me? -She's looking at you.

I'm sure it is.

Why don't we put a bomb in Fox Bookstores?

Do you have the "shoe" books?

"Shoe" books?

Who is the author?

I don't know.

My friend said that my daughter I should read them...

...so here I am.

Noel Streatfeild.

Noel Streatfeild wrote Ballet Shoes, Skating Shoes...

...Theatre Shoes...

...and Dance Shoes and...

I would start with Ballet Shoes. It's my favorite.

And Skate Shoes...

...it's absolutely wonderful.

But it's exhausted.

Streatfeild.

How do you spell it?

S-T-R-E-A-T-F-E-l-L-D.

Thank you.

Kathleen Kelly. His name was in the air.

Really?

Everyone was talking about her today.

Kathleen Kelly and her "situation."

And it occurred to me that it would be a great publisher of children's books.

Why do you think that?

Well, she knows everything.

He has impeccable taste. She is famous for that.

Salespeople idolize her. Yes to her you like a book, it sells. Spot.

Are you going to offer him a job?

What else do you have to do?

Now that she is homeless.

Thanks to you.

-I don't see her working for you. -Why not?

He lacks the killer instinct.

He never fired anyone. Look at his little shop.

Those people worked there all their lives.

Until they lost their jobs.

Thanks to you.

Stop the elevator!

Mr. Fox.

Hello, Charlie.

I love that you forgot your role in your current situation.

It's so obtuse.

It's so insensitive.

Reminds me of someone.

To whom? Who does it remind me of?

To me.

What's happening?

It got stuck.

What are you doing, Charlie?

I hope not collapses to the basement.

Can you do that?

He can't collapse into the basement.

Hello, this is Joe Fox. Who is he?

Juan?

Juan, we are stuck in the elevator...

...between floors 6 and 7.

We are four.

If you don't appear here in two seconds...

...and you get us out of here...!

Listen.

...call the doorman and then 91 1.

9-1-1.

To the firefighters, correct.

Thank you so much.

-We should jump. -What?

We jump.

The elevator thinks we're not here. And it opens.

One, two, three, jump!

If I ever get out of here...

...I will talk to my mom again.

I wonder what he's doing at this moment.

If I ever get out of here...

...I will marry Orit.

I love her.

I should marry her.

I don't know what stopped me.

If I get out, he will laser my eyes.

If I ever get out of here...

My mints!

What?

I came home today.

And I entered the elevator to go to my apartment.

An hour later he got out of the elevator...

...and Brinkley and I moved.

Suddenly everything had become clear to me.

It's a long story...

...full of personal details that we avoid so much.

I just want to say...

...that there was a man in the elevator with me...

...who knew exactly what he wanted...

...and I found myself wishing to be as lucky as him.

People always tell you that change is a good thing.

What they are saying...

...is that something that should not have happened...

...has happened.

My store will close this week.

I have a store.

Did I ever tell you that?

It's an adorable store.

And in a week, it will be kind of depressing...

...like a Baby Gap store.

Soon it will only be a memory.

In fact, someone, a stupid person...

...you'll think it's a tribute to this city.

How it changes.

Or that you can't count on something, or something like that.

I know, because that's what I always say.

But the truth is...

...that I am distraught.

I feel like a part of me has died...

...and that my mother has died again.

And no one can console me.

AFTER 42 YEARS WE CLOSED

WE LOVED BEING PART OF THEIR LIVES.

What happened?

In the end.

How are you?

You know, dad, you did good.

At least they didn't get married.

Welcome aboard.

It lasted quite a while.

You know...

...I stayed in this boat after...

...let's see...

...well, your mother.

Laurette, the dancer.

My babysitter.

Was it the babysitter?

I forgot about that.

How ironic.

Then the skater.

-Also my babysitter. -Really?

Wow, that's incredibly ironic.

Then it was Sybil.

The...

-...starts with A. -Astrologer.

Exactly. Yes.

Whose moon turned out to be in someone else's house.

Just like Gillian.

Did he go with someone?

The babysitter

Maureen?

Gillian left with Maureen, the babysitter.

That's right.

It's incredibly ironic.

-That's true. -There is no other word.

Well, who better than us?

Father and son, together at last.

Who did you break up with?

Patricia.

You met her.

Would I like it?

Just kidding, son.

Tell me, is this beautiful or what?

I will live out of a suitcase for about three weeks.

And then comes the inevitable legal imbroglio.

More of your lost inheritance.

Don't worry about that.

It won't.

You'll have to meet someone new.

It's the easy part.

Of course, yes.

It is very easy to find the only one person who will give you happiness.

Well, don't be ridiculous.

Have I ever been with someone like that?

And you? Yes?

Who is it?

Joe Fox.

What are you doing here?

Can I go up?

No, I don't...

No, I don't think it is a good idea because...

...I have a...

...I have a cold...

...horrible.

Can you hear that?

Hey, I'm runny and I'm not awake...

...and I'm taking herbs...

...and vitamin C and I sleep almost...

...24 hours a day. I have a fever.

And I think it's contagious. So...

...I would really appreciate it if you left.

Wait a moment!

Yes, one more second.

What are you doing here?

I heard you were sick...

...and I worried.

And I wanted to be sure...

Is there anyone here?

It is the shopping channel.

Do you buy those porcelain dolls?

I was thinking about it.

-You ruined my business. -Yes, it's true.

Did you come to show off?

-To offer me a job? -I have never...

I have plans. Many offers.

You know, he offered me a job...

-My ex. -Your ex?

We're done.

What a shame. They were perfect for each other.

I did not mean that. Whatever you've done...

...it doesn't give me an excuse to say things like that.

But every time...

-Things like that come out of your mouth. -Yes.

I brought you flowers.

Thank you.

Why don't I put them in water?

You are sick. You should sit down.

I need a vase.

Above the refrigerator.

There it is. Obviously.

By the way, George sends you his regards.

He told me you were sick.

How is George?

Very good. Really good.

It's revolutionizing the place.

You don't work with him...

...without a university degree.

I love daisies.

-You told me. -They are so friendly.

Don't you think it's the friendliest flower?

Yes.

When did they finish?

A couple of weeks ago.

Everyone is breaking up. You. I.

Someone I know broke up in an elevator...

...or after the elevator or outside of it or...

He got stuck.

When I saw you in the cafe, I was waiting for him.

And I was...

Charming.

I wasn't charming.

Well, you looked lovely. You?

Yes.

I was angry and horrible.

-Honey? -Yes.

I was the horrible one.

Well, that's true.

But I don't have any excuse.

I understand what you are saying.

That's interesting.

Since I'm a horrible person...

...I have no choice that be horrible.

That's what you say.

But it's okay. It's okay. I ruined your business, so...

...you have the right to hate me.

I don't hate you.

But you will never forgive me.

-Like Elizabeth. -Who?

Elizabeth Bennett in Pride and Prejudice. She was too proud.

I thought you hated Pride and Prejudice.

Or was I too biased...

...and Mr. Darcy Was he too proud?

Well, I don't remember.

It wasn't something personal.

What does that mean? I'm sick of hearing that.

The only thing it means is That wasn't personal to you.

But it was personal for me.

It's personal for a lot of people.

What's wrong with being personal?

Nothing.

Whatever it is, everything should begin for being personal.

My head is starting to feel fuzzy.

Why did you come? I forgot.

I wanted to be your friend.

I knew it wasn't possible.

What can I say? Sometimes you want the impossible.

Can I ask you something?

What?

What happened to that man in the cafe?

Nothing.

But are you crazy about him?

Yes.

Why don't you go with him? What are you waiting for?

I don't really know him.

Really?

I only know him through...

You won't believe this.

Let me guess.

Through the Internet?

Yes.

"You have an email."

They are very powerful words.

I'm happy for him.

Although...

Could you make a small suggestion?

What?

I think...

...that you should know him.

No, wait, I take it back.

Why meet someone like him?

I don't think I need advice of a person who...

I see that I bring out the worst in you.

But it will help you not to say something...

...which will then torture you...

...for years.

I hope you get better soon.

It would be a shame not to see New York in spring.

Thanks for the margaritas.

Well, take care.

I will do it.

Goodbye.

I was thinking about this...

...and I think we should meet.

We must see each other.

And we will see each other.

But I'm in the middle of a project what do you need...

...an adjustment.

An adjustment?

A project that needed...

..."an adjustment".

-Yes, that's what he said. -A-J-U-S-T-E?

-An adjustment? -That's what he said.

It sounds to me like he's married.

With three children.

That's a terrible thing.

He can't be married.

How do you know?

You asked him, "Are you married?"

No, I'm not going to... No.

I know it's probably a little late to ask, but...

...are you married?

If I'm married?

What kind of question is that?

How can you ask that?

Don't you know me?

Wait, I understand.

Your friends say we didn't see each other...

...because I'm married. Right?

-I didn't answer your question. -Yes, he answered.

-No. -Yes. He discovered me.

He knew exactly what I wanted...

...which, in fact, he always does.

But he didn't answer the question.

No.

Maybe he's fat.

He's fat. A chubby

I don't care about that.

You don't care that he's so fat...

...they need a crane to remove it from his house. You don't care.

That is very unlikely.

That is completely ridiculous.

What is your nickname?

Are you worried that I write to him?

Do you think I'll send him an email?

Okay, N-Y-1 -5-2.

N-Y-1 -5-2? 1 52.

He is 152 years old.

They removed 1 52 moles...

...so now you have 1 52 scars on his...

...in his face.

The number of people...

...who see him as similar to Clark Gable.

1 52 people who think it looks alike to a Clark chocolate.

-Why did I tell you this? -1 52 surgery points on his nose.

The number of glasses of liquor...

...that he has collected...

...on his travels.

Your address.

No, I would never do such a prosaic thing.

The only thing that really What matters to me is that...

...it's the married thing and the prison thing...

Of course.

...it's the boat thing.

What about the boat?

I couldn't go out with the owner from a boat

I have a boat.

Which confirms it. We could never be a couple.

-How many? -Three.

-Allow me. -Thank you.

I could never date a fan by Joni Mitchell.

"I remember illusions of a cloud.

"I don't understand clouds."

What does that mean?

Is he a pilot? Do you take aviation lessons?

It must be a metaphor, but I don't know why.

How is your book going?

There is a children's book publisher that I know...

...who is excited to read it.

Who imagined that I would write?

If I hadn't had all this time...

-You know what? -What?

The truth is that he was the one who made me think about writing.

Mr. 1 52 Criminal Sentences.

The Lord 1 52 Visions of My Soul.

I can't compete with that.

I always run into you.

I hope your mango is ripe.

I think it is.

Do you want to run into me on...

...Saturday at lunch time?

-Yes. -Ah?

How about we meet...

...on Saturday?

At 4:00?

There's a place on 91st Street...

...where the path makes a curve and there is a garden.

Brinkley and I will be waiting.

Alright, let's do it.

Ready? And...

There it goes.

Today?

I know. In Riverside Park.

That means he lives in the area.

Isn't it amazing? Maybe I've seen it and I don't know.

You saw it every day, without knowing it.

-Possible. -It can be anyone.

It could be that one over there.

And those flowers are for you.

-It could be Mr. Zipper. -Who is that?

Mr. Zipper.

Who is it?

Fix zippers.

-That's enough. -You will not buy suitcases.

That's enough.

Timing is everything.

I waited until you were ripe.

See?

If you were convinced...

...that there is no other man...

...that it was possible for you to love.

Yes.

You know, sometimes I wonder...

What?

If I hadn't been Fox Bookstores...

...and you The Corner Store...

...and you and I would have met.

I know.

I would have asked for your number.

I couldn't have waited...

...24 hours to call you and say:

"How about we have coffee or...

...you know, a drink or dinner...

...or let's go to the movies...

...for the rest of our lives?"

We would never have gone to war.

We would just fight about what...

...video rent on a saturday at night.

Who fights for that?

Some people.

Not us.

We never.

If only.

-I have to go. -Let me ask you something.

How can you forgive him? having left you standing...

...and you can't forgive me for this detail...

...of ruining your business?

I wish you would forgive me.

I really have to go.

You don't want to be late.

Brinkley!

Don't cry, Saleswoman.

Don't cry.

I wanted it to be you.

I dreamed of it being you.
