1:14:08
I was going down the street,
minding my own business, too...
1:14:11
when who do you think just happened by,
purely by accident, of course...
1:14:15
and pulled up alongside of the curb?
1:14:17
- Ted Haines, Jr.
- Right.
1:14:19
And what do you think his approach was?
You tell him.
1:14:23
- I prefer not to remember.
- Well, being a woman, I do.
1:14:27
His exact words were,
"Hey, good-looking, what's cooking?"
1:14:30
Now wait a minute.
1:14:32
What I really said was,
"Who do you know that I know?"
1:14:36
You know, that's worse.
1:14:38
Well, that was that.
1:14:39
And with practically no more of a build up
than that, he asked me to lunch.
1:14:43
Who knows? It might have worked.
It's been known to.
1:14:46
So after I'd cooled him off, I came back here.
1:14:49
No job, no money,
expecting to be thrown out any minute.
1:14:52
There was a knock on the door. I said
to myself, "The landlord. Here it comes."
1:14:56
- And who do you think was there?
- Junior?
1:14:58
- Right. I was so surprised.
- So was I.
1:15:03
Well, up to here, we're all surprised.
1:15:06
Naturally, before throwing me out,
he had to know a little about me.
1:15:10
So in a few well-chosen sentences,
I gave him the details.
1:15:13
Sort of like I told you.
1:15:15
And you found a landlord
with a heart of gold.
1:15:18
Well, not exactly a heart of gold,
Father, but...
1:15:21
Well, we had the apartment vacant,
and it seemed a shame to throw her out.
1:15:26
- Anyway, what's wrong with that?
- Nothing that I know of, up to here.
1:15:31
As I was saying,
it was a shame to throw her out.
1:15:34
Like Mrs. Quimp?
1:15:36
Yeah. No! Well, that's different.
1:15:40
I can see that, obviously.
1:15:43
She told me about coming to see you
and that you wanted to help her.
1:15:47
You don't have a corner on helping people,
do you?
1:15:50
And besides, I've practically
got her lined up in a job.
1:15:53
Yes, and as soon as I get it,
I'm going to pay him back.
1:15:56
Every nickel of it. You too, Father.
1:15:59
No hurry about me.
