A health cure?
I don't even know what's eating you.

:25:05
You've my whole life story -
and you, no news at all.

:25:09
The news is sparse but here it is.
:25:11
I'd a job, house, marriage and a life.
They all went sour.

:25:15
Now for the shining present.
:25:18
I live in a cell costing $31 a month,
hall's full of garbage.

:25:22
I awake gassed if I don't throw myself
off a bridge the night before.

:25:26
- I can't afford 19.95 for a radio!
- Sh!

:25:29
That 30 grand, you said that to show off?
:25:32
I didn't want to take candy
from a baby. I came east with $500.

:25:37
I'm trying to live on 3.50 a day.
:25:40
You spent 16.80 tonight!
:25:42
- I splurged. My birthday.
- Birthday?

:25:45
Also, I bought a dollar cigar.
:25:48
You bought your own birthday present?
:25:51
- Why didn't you tell me, Jerry?
- Why?

:25:53
- You'd have given me one?
- Sure.

:25:56
Thanks, but I'm not hinting for handouts
from lovable crackpot waifs.

:26:02
Don't say "Go" when signalling "Come".
It's not ladylike.

:26:06
You haven't been hinting for handouts?
:26:08
- What?
- You've done it all night.

:26:11
- Those hints, unhappy, bedbugs, broke.
- Unhappy bedbugs?

:26:14
Unhappy. Bedbugs. Like if I don't sleep
with you, they'll find you dead.

:26:19
- Wait, who said that?
- You did.

:26:21
With the garbage or off a bridge, you're
so lonely. That's the last thing you said.

:26:26
That might have been campaign oratory,
an approach,

:26:29
but I haven't done that all night.
:26:31
First thing you said was "Help me",
on the telephone!

:26:35
- No. I said I wouldn't say...
- You said "Help me"! I said "Sure"!

:26:39
I'm not complaining but why
call me names, you want it both ways?

:26:53
Hey, I say something
to hurt your feelings?

:26:57
I was griped. I wanted to get back at you.
It's natural.
