:54:00
-Yeah. Pearl's cooking a steak.
-Swell! Ain't had a steak since breakfast.
:54:06
Oh, boy, l'm hungry!
:54:09
-l wonder what they'll have for dessert.
-For you, probably stewed pinballs.
:54:15
-Hello, baby.
-Hello, Joe.
:54:18
-That's nice.
-How'd you get here so early?
:54:21
l got a lift from one of the girls.
:54:23
-How are you, lrish?
-Hungry.
:54:25
-Hiya, fellas.
-Hello, Paul.
:54:26
Hello, Paul.
Any luck today?
:54:28
Yeah, but all bad. All the old men
get the watchman's jobs. . .
:54:32
. . .and that's about the only thing
a one-armed guy can do.
:54:34
There are a lot of jobs you can handle.
Hey, Pearl, medium-rare on my steak. . .
:54:39
. . .and not much butter
on my potatoes.
:54:40
Any special design you want
on the plate?
:54:43
-Come on, everybody, sit down.
-You don't have to call me twice.
:54:46
When l was riding that truck, l used to
think l'd never get enough staying home.
:54:50
-l got enough, all right.
-Relax, you'll find something to do.
:54:54
Sure. l can always learn to knit,
and Ripley'll print my picture.
:54:58
Have some steak, Cassie,
and pass it on.
:55:00
-How's things going at the store?
-Fine, except l get tired. . .
:55:03
-. . .of being on my feet all day.
-l got the same trouble.
:55:06
The only difference is,
l drive all day.
:55:09
-Beer, lrish?
-That's me, kid.
:55:11
l'm the best two-fisted beer drinker
in America.
:55:13
Sometimes l get so thirsty,
l wish l had three hands.
:55:18
-Cut it.
-That's okay. He didn't mean no harm.
:55:20
He's right. Three hands
are better than two, ain't they?
:55:24
-Just like two hands are better than one.
-Take it easy, fella.
:55:28
Easy?
:55:30
Yeah, that's a nice word. Maybe
you think it's easy being helpless. . .
:55:33
. . .waiting for Pearl to dress me
and feed me. . .
:55:35
. . .sitting around all day, wondering what
a guy with no right arm is good for.
:55:40
Why'd you ever cut me
out of that wreck?
:55:42
This way, she don't even get
no life insurance.
:55:44
-lt don't help to get excited.
-lt's all well for you, you're in one piece.
:55:49
You don't have to take nobody's charity
like l gotta take yours.
:55:56
l guess he's been moping
around the house too much.
:55:59
After we eat, we'll go out
and have some nightlife.
