Why did you cut me off?

That party had me on hold.

Oh.

I'm telling you, Archie don't know what
he's letting himself in for.

Does he ever?

He's gonna go broke, but he ain't taking
me with him. What would you do if he

goes through with it, Harry?

Who knows?

Maybe retire.

Harry, I got a dime. The operator wants
another dime. I ran out.

Right with you, Mr. Klein.

Here's a man who wants to take this
whole thing off my hands.

Like I said to my lawyer, Levy the hold.

When your partner wants to go off the
deep end, there's no living with him.

if you go along with him, there's no
living with yourself.

Harry, Harry, come on. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Make sure you talk only to Levy, Mr.
Klein. He knows all the ins and outs.

Well, I had him on the phone, but he put
me on hold.

That's why they call him Levy the hold.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, great news,
great news.

I just come from talking to Swenson, the
contractor.

The Norwegian?

Yeah, boozer, I know, but what the hell,
the more he drinks, the lower his

estimates.

Now, look at old Pepperface here.

Hey, he's going to give his bargain
rates on all the work we're going to

done here, you know?

I told him how we're going to break
through that wall into the restaurant

door.

No, Mr. Van Venselier, that wall over
there.

And how we're going to cut a family
entrance down there, you know, so the

innocent women and children don't have
to be exposed to the flonsome and

johnsome at the bar.

I keep telling you, if you go through
with this, I'm out. What are you talking

about? Harry, it's going to be terrific.
I got to go get our papers and

appointments. What? Oh, there you are.

Listen, leave me, I'll tell you what.
You get the things together and I'll be

right over.

Okay with you?

Good, thank you. Bye -bye.

Yes, Alfred, I completed my call.

Yes, I got my dime back, thank you very
much.

What?

Oh, no, I'm sorry.

I can't return it.

Tell you what, if you give me your name
and your address, I'll be happy to mail

it to you.

Me too.

I'd like to shake your hand, sir.

Anybody that can give the sheriff to the
phone company is my kind of guy.

Clyde. Murray Clyde.

I've seen you around, but we've never
met.

Murray's an old neighborhood boy. I knew
your father and your grandfather.

That's right.

Barney Hefner's the name.

Oh, you any relation to Hugh Hefner?

No, but we share some of the same
interests.

What do you do, Mr. Clyde? Well, I've
been in nearly everything.

I've been in car rentals. I've been in
insurance.

I've been in restaurant supply, and now
I'm going to be in the john.

Not bad. He left me a buck tip.

Listen.

Big deal.

How come you never leave me nothing?

Mr. Van Rensselaer, how much is a buck
worth today?

About a dime.

Oh, okay.

Here's your buck tip.

My drink's on the tap. Will you hurry?
I'm running a little late.

I'm sorry, dogs.

You run into a person, don't you know
that you could raise a groat there?

I told you I was sorry, didn't I?

Where did I hurt you there? Don't, don't
touch it. You could raise all over

pantusions or something.

There's where you touch me.

Will you get out of the way? I'm in a
hurry. Oh, he's in a hurry. Hey, three

drinks for everybody.

Well, I got a little time.

deal. Free drinks for everybody. We only
got two customers.

That's the best time to holler free
drinks for everybody.

Arch, last time you bought me a drink
was when Nixon got elected. What? I

like to buy free drinks on happy
occasions like that. My God, is he

again?

Ah, never no more.

Well, hey, we all timed on the poor man.

You're out of paper towels.

Hey, watch what you're doing, buddy,
huh? You're dripping all over the joint.

Well, what am I supposed to do?

Well, when you can plainly see there
ain't no more paper towels, don't wash.

There isn't any toilet paper either.

Run over to C. Levy. Thanks for putting
me on to this. Hey, don't run off, Mr.

Klein. Archie's offering a free drink.

Hey, hey, Harry, don't be yelling that
to the world, will you? Free drinks is

for regulars.

You've seen me around here before,
Archie.

Yeah, I know that, but, uh, I mean, you
gotta admit that youse people, uh, youse

ain't famous for big spending over a
bar.

Hell, he is all gone there.

What's the matter? Did I say something?

Oh, God, you can't open your mouth
nowadays.

Listen, buddy, no intense offender
there.

Wait a minute.

My intense is very offended.

Just what were you saying?

That Jews are cheap?

Hmm?

Well, let me put it this way.

Careful, Arch.

I can remember when Murray was in the
Golden Gloves.

No kidding.

No kidding.

Did you win?

Oh, yeah, well, uh... What I mean is,
uh... Hey, Scotchman's is much

worse.

Want a drink?

That's for you.

What was that?

Nothing, nothing. I'm looking at the
wall here.

I think you can take them, Arch. All you
need is a little road work.

Always the right ways at the right time.

Ah, come on, come on. Shut up and drink
up there.

What are we drinking to, Arch?

We are drinking to that we just took an
option on a restaurant premises next

door. We?

We. If we includes you and me, include
me out. I don't want to own a

You ain't going to own a restaurant.

You're going to own half a restaurant.

I said no over and over, but you don't
hear me. What do we know about running a

restaurant? What the hell is there to
know?

You hire a cook for in there?

A wait -up around here, a Puerto Rican
for all over, and a money -spot swimming

in.

Yeah, 80 % of restaurants die.

How come nothing's ever made it next
door? The Kosherama Chinese Deli didn't

make it.

Flo's Falafel Food, Susie's Sashimi
Shack didn't last a month.

That is because none of them people
saved nothing unusual.

What food's unusual nowadays?

American.

What are you doing in here? Every time
she comes in here, you say that. Why do

you always yell at her? I'm raising her.
I'm supposed to show an interest.

Hello, Harry. Hello, Stephanie.

Auntie has told me to ask if I can have
a pair of roller skates.

Sure you can.

What are you asking him for? I'd like to
hear a yes from someone before I hear a

no from you.

Stop being so smart.

Maybe he wasn't going to hear no no from
me.

Was I going to hear yes, yes?

Well, how are you going to know unless
you ask me?

Well, all right. That was yesterday, so
you missed it.

I put that tree.

Now, don't be a disgrace.

Now, get out of here. If you ain't out
of here by the time I count to three...

What?

I'll hit you with a left hook and a
right cross.

One, two, three, four. I passed three.

Hello, sweetheart.

See what kids pick up in school today?

You brighten it up everybody's day,
Arch.

Yeah, especially mine.

Ah, come on. Come on, Harry. The rest of
it is going to be beautiful.

I don't want to hear about it.

Well, you're going to hear about it.
This ain't for you, Barney. Now, come

here. Come over here. Now, let me tell
you something here in private. Now,

listen.

Listen to me.

I already signed the papers.

You already signed the papers? Yes.

Okay, Arch.

If that's the way it's going to be, I'm
getting out.

I'm selling my half.

Wait a minute. Why are you selling your
half? To who?

Well, not to you. You ain't got $25
,000.

How the hell do you know that I ain't
got $25 ,000?

You ain't supposed to hear this.

Is that why you're whispering?

Let me tell you something. I happen to
be a very good standee with a certain

fine lady down at the bank. And what are
you talking about, 25 ,000 bucks? You

only put in 20.

Well, I want five more.

What? 25 grand? That's not a question.

I'll tell you what. We'll split the
difference.

24. Since when is 24?

The difference between 20 and 25.

Since I raised my price to 28.

Oh.

Oh, well.

Well, that's different.

Arch, you drive a hard bargain.

This guy thinks I'm some kind of a dope.

Yeah.

And because of the recent reappraisals
of the said properties, we can consider

increasing the loans in question, but
only at 75 % of the amounts applied for

and at a 1 .5 % additional interest.

Margaret Watson, Vice President, Loan
Department, copies to Mr. Dineen and Mr.

Falk.

Thank you very much.

You know, there's nothing I enjoy more
than listening to an intelligent woman

talk.

I mean, if I didn't know you, what do
you call it?

I would think that you was Barbara
Walters.

If you were sitting behind a curtain or
something.

So, you're still there? Yes, I'm still
the loan officer.

I hope you approve.

Oh, hey.

I love it. I love it. Hey, it's high
time you people started getting inside

work.

Enough pleasantries, Mr. Bunker. What
can I do for you?

Oh, well, first, let me spread out my
documentaries in front of you here, see?

Now, I'm going to expand into the
restaurant business.

I'm going to bust into the store next
door, by which I mean the adjacent

I'm going to make a fortune.

Uh, do you mind if I smoke?

No.

You wouldn't have a cigar, would you?

I'm sorry.

And nothing by the other one?

Well,

uh, I need a loan.

See? but my partner's a problem.

He's scared to go along with me.

So you want to borrow the buying out
money?

Yeah. Hey, like old J .P.

Rockefeller once said, when opportunity
knocks, son, you better not be in the

camera.

I never heard that.

Well, only the Arabs ever listened to
that old man.

I only need about $24 ,000.

Let's see.

In October of 1977, you borrowed $20
,000 using your residence for

And now you owe us $19 ,724 .50.

Yeah, I've seen that. You know, good.

After paying off so much money over the
last two years and still to hold out, I

can't quite grasp that.

Well, most of it has gone towards the
interest.

That's robbery.

That's business.

You knocked on our door, Mr. Bunker, and
we were not in the can.

Yeah, well, do we have to talk about
that loan? Because, I mean, what I want

a new loan.

Fine. Have you any collateral?

My liquor license.

According to the Alcoholic Beverage
Control Law, Section 114, Article 3.

No license shall be pledged or deposited
as collateral security for any loan.

Mr. Bunker, I'm afraid a new loan is not
possible.

Why the hell is it in this country, when
you gotta borrow money, you first gotta

prove you don't need none?

Well, you got the Democrats to thank for
that, too.

Well, what the hell am I gonna do?

Why don't you go to your partner and ask
him to sell you his share on, say, a

five -year note?

Pay him a little more than bank
interest. Maybe he'll accommodate you.

Try and be nice about it.

Oh, hey, if you knew me, you'd know I
always try to be nice about everything.

But it's this partner of mine, you know,
he can't do business with him because

he's like a child.

Oh, oh, it's my thing. It's all right.
I'll get that. I'll get that.

Oh!

I didn't touch nothing to that.

Thank you very much there, Ms. Zonzo.
You're a very nice lady and a

very smart lady.

And whilst I was with you, I sincerely
hope I didn't say nothing to offend you.

Now, why would that worry you?

Oh, it don't. That's just something my
old man told me to say whenever taking

leave of minority people.

He didn't want you to be rude.

No, never.

And he didn't want me to get hit in the
back of the head with a brick, neither.

Oh, my dear.

Oh.

Hi, Arch.

Oh, hi there, Mr. Van Ness.

Hi,

Harry.

I started out for the bank, but then,
you know, I had to stop.

I had to think it all over. I said to
myself, this ain't fair to Harry, you

know. Busting up your career like this.

But it ain't fair to myself, because the
last two years of our partnership,

they've been the happiest two years of
my life.

So I said to myself, why throw two years
of friendship right down the toilet?

They wouldn't give you the money, huh?

What are you doing now?

I'm calling Levy.

Your lawyer?

Yeah. I sent him a buyer. I want to tell
him he can close the deal. Oh, no.

You ain't gonna tell him nothing.

I can tell him anything I want. It's my
half, and I'm dumping it. Hello, Levy.

Yeah, I'll hold.

You can't sell without my legal
approval.

Says who?

Says me. Look at our contract.

It says either one of us can sell out.
Oh.

You wrote that into the fine print, huh?
No. You wrote it in yourself, in great

big print. When I first seen it, I
thought my granddaughter put it in.

Hello, Levy.

Harry from the bar.

Uh -huh.

Uh -huh.

Are you sure, Harry?

Okay, if you say so.

Right, goodbye.

Deal?

Yes, it's settled.

Harry definitely wants to sell to you.
Hey, that's terrific.

Oh, boy.

But my advice, Mr. Klein, is for you to
buy out Bunker, too.

Look, you don't understand, Levy. In the
first place, I can't handle this alone.

And in the second place, this business
is good because of him.

Listen, Klein, I admit that Archie's
place is making money.

Right. And when it includes a little
restaurant, it'll make more.

And I also think that Harry is a jerk to
sell. That's why I am smart to buy.

Now, I'll tell you what I'm going to do.
I'm going to get my bank book. We are

going to the First National and pick up
a certified check.

But, Klein, what do you know about
Bunker?

What's to know? The man needs a partner
that's good enough for me.

But you, he doesn't need.

Klein, listen.

Bunker is an anti -Semite.

So is the manager of my supermarket. So
is my mechanic.

I still have to eat and I still have to
drive.

Yeah, but a partnership, it's like a
marriage.

Would you marry someone who looked down
on you?

I did.

You married an anti -Semite?

No, she was Jewish, but she looked down
on me anyway.

I get it, Klein.

You're one of those kinky types who
insists on looking for pain.

No, Levy, I'm one of those kinky types
who refuses to look for pain.

Mr. Van Rensselaer.

What do you think of this guy, huh?

He ain't here, Lolo.

He had the years of friendliness and
fondliness and camaraderie as he trains

me there, sells me out.

He's a traitor, he's the worst. Hey, who
was the worst traitor in history?

Brutus? Judas?

Iago?

Quigley? Them, them, them.

Remember them.

Hey!
