hey Jan

are you red light

[Music]

I'm home sweetie oh hi let's see

precisely 5 33.

I hope you don't mind my using your

shower I couldn't get any hot water in

my apartment

how was your day I had no audition

good part

a middle-aged nagging alcoholic

housewife

oh

typecasting

it doesn't they're lost

power

what don't you ever feel

that you're you're not fulfilling

yourself

that's how low does that question

well

maybe you keep yourself too much in

check

and I keep myself in check just the

right amount

just this side of dementia

what

no

obviously Howard it's not good for you

you gotta let yourself go sometimes

look at the difference look at this I

mean I feel like a rag picker next to

you

you just don't act spontaneously

if you walk around keeping everything

inside of you one day you're just gonna

turn on your mother with an ax

just what wildly spontaneous things you

have in mind

I don't know if I have to tell you it's

not spontaneous

[Music]

[Applause]

Howard that's not good I told you to do

it

[Music]

foreign

I'm hurrying I'm hurrying

[Music]

should I wear a bra did you see that

what

is that

I didn't see anything

oh

I probably didn't either

well should I wear a bra or not I don't

want to inspire Linda to whatever

motherhood speeches

[Music]

I'm not gonna wear one she can't

intimidate me

there we have power

I believe I told you we're we're

thinking of moving out of the city

you know I feel like a deserter actually

but uh well you know with the baby we

naturally have to consider her first

right and there's no place for a child

because I'm her mother well half the

time Linda's afraid to take her for a

walk in the park run around the place

did you know mothers are going now in

groups did you know that yeah George

why don't I get you some more coffee

mine with a pretty dress thank you of

course you're so thin you can wear

anything

did you ever think of having children of

your own

um George are you sure uh no no no no no

thank you

George don't you think you should at

least ask first

do you mind if I put on the television

set Jen I want to get the news just to

see what the Knicks did oh no go back

George don't turn it on just

ice oh it's the heater you see the the

Steam Heat in this building is worse

than erratic the furnace is made of

plastic or something it melts yeah we're

not wired for one of these I'm just

supposed to have one it's okay go ahead

you see if you put on too many lights at

once it blows the fuse

it's not like you how it to have

something you shouldn't have it's like

him

I mean he's not a saint thank you

did you know about this George

oh yes but you never told me

it didn't seem very important well I

think it's interesting

how it I've always considered you so

proper oh he's pretty proper it wasn't

just the proper amount

because I'd have to pay to have the

place rewired and that means they'd

raise the rent and it's too high as it

is so I am I cheat

I would have never known that

[Music]

hey that's right near here

another rabbit again

fire in Queens today rage for more than

seven hours before firemen were able to

put it out

I could have seen that what

we get that with the rifle somebody I

saw that building is in the right

location

yeah that apartment looks out over the

park at about 65th Street

well that's did you see something or

didn't you I don't understand

I don't know what I saw

I saw a flash I think I I heard a sound

like a shot

as it might have been a backfire

and then I saw somebody with a rifle

that might have been something else I

don't know it could have been just a

shadow or report it

oh

there's nothing really to report I mean

I'm not

certain in my own mind Howard reported

let the police find out if it's true or

not Jan's right oh come on

you have to report it Howard I mean I

don't see how you how you could hesitate

about it

well just look at this logically now I

mean

what are the chances of my actually

having witnessed something like that huh

it's infinitesimal oh Howard don't be so

logical all the time

you get the point don't you George I

mean I'd just be offering a highly

subjective account you guys I see your

point certainly and it has Merit don't

say that George just a minute please

Howard oh come on go on huh go on

this is very interesting hello

uh yes I am

I think I have some information on that

sniping incident

guy George

oh what's she calling you about oh she

wants to go shopping I'd sooner give

blood she's not so bad well all she'll

talk about is how I'm missing the best

years of my life by being unmarried and

unpregnant she got me right you know

people come swooping down onto the

platform I can generally pick on 10 20

30 individuals who are thoroughly

front of that window until the Man shows

up

I think I may have a better idea

well that's not hard what is it

[Music]

[Music]

so you have stopped for this kind of a

shot I don't know wait a minute

in that bank

Jam we've got to go somewhere

Levi

I don't mean

I mean

out of here out of this building

we can go to a hotel for a couple of

days until we can find someplace else

but listen to me

assuming that what happened to me in the

basement had nothing to do with anything

else which I don't believe for a minute

if that man in the bank is the same man

and I saw with that rifle

then he knows Beyond a doubt that I know

who he is

he probably knows that you know too

thank you

I'm serious about this aren't you

it can never feel safe as long as I'm

around

take anything

according to Roush the guy who used to

live in that apartment had his wife and

child killed during a robbery it's

enough to drive anybody around the bend

whoever was guilty was ever caught you

can bet on that

foreign

particular he must be trying to get it

from the whole city

by taking random pot shots at people in

the park you don't know that do you want

to take the chance that I'm right not do

anything about it

he's psychotic and now he's worried

Howard come on

Howard I don't want to leave suppose he

saw you following him he didn't

oh Chad

but I suppose I ought to keep you

company

couple of days off or are you so

indispensable I'm very indispensable

without an industrial designer for a few

days it might make him realize how much

they really need me
