Murray, what are you doing? How long you been here?

Oh, about an hour.

Murray, I hate to say anything, you know.

But it's been three weeks.

I'm back in there doing my job, putting the stock in the shelves.

I'm trying not to look at a whole desk full of bills piled up there.

Your job.

I heard over the news that it was 75 degrees in San Francisco.

Gee, that's thrilling, Murray, but, uh, you know, it's gonna be 32 degrees in

this saloon unless you pay the air bill.

When Marcy and I were thinking of taking our honeymoon in Hawaii, it's warm

there, too.

Murray, the bills.

Look, Arch, I can't concentrate on business. Why don't we just hire... a

bookkeeper, huh?

No. I'll tear into myself and I'll destroy the business.

How are you, Mr. Vannar?

Fine. Fine, Maureen. You?

Eh, not so good.

Did you hear that Marcy moved to San Francisco?

Yes, I know.

You holding the ring again?

Yeah.

It was my fault.

I broke up with her. Did I tell you what happened?

Every day for the last three weeks.

Let me ask you something, Mr. Vanner.

Here I meet the sweetest woman in the world and I push her away. Now, what is

wrong with me?

I want a refill, Mr. Vanner.

You're going to go on with this story?

Did I tell you what I said to her?

Make it a double.

Why don't you call San Francisco and tell her that you love her?

I'm scared.

She won't want to talk to me.

Hey, you keep this up, Maury. None of the rest of us will want to talk to you

either.

Well, I don't have her number out there. So why don't you call the New York

office? They'll give it to you.

You think so?

Yeah, come on. Here's your phone right here. Get on it.

You really think I ought to do this? Yeah, please.

Okay.

Oh, uh, hi, Natalie.

Hi, this is Murray Klein.

Listen, could you give me Miss Phillips' number in San Francisco?

Yeah.

Oh, don't do that!

What's the matter?

Why'd you hang up?

She's not in San Francisco.

She's right here in New York.

They almost put me through to her.

So why didn't you talk to her?

I'm not ready.

Why don't you hop in a cab and go see her?

Think I ought to do that?

Yes!

I gotta appeal to... Where you going now? Marthy's back in town.

Ain't it romantic?

You know, he's beginning to give me a small pain right there.

I wish you would marry that woman and settle down to business.

God, it'd be the best thing in the world, you know? Forget about me.

I really don't see how I can help you.

Well, do you have any idea?

I'm sorry, Mr. Klein, but she left a half an hour ago. She just closed up her

office. You know, I don't even think she's coming back.

Natalie, you'll have to change the reservations to one o 'clock.

I'll never finish packing.

Oh, and Natalie, if Mr. Klein does call again, tell him I went back to San

Francisco. You can tell me yourself.

Laurie. Now, before you say anything, just hear me out.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry I said all those terrible things. I must have been crazy.

Murray, why don't we just forget it?

I've got so many things to tell you. I don't know where to start.

I know.

Are you all right, Murray?

I should have never gone.

You first.

I miss you.

I missed you, too.

Oh, we could never be apart.

You said we'd have to wait years. Well, I'm glad you didn't believe that.

I did.

You didn't. I did. I took the job in San Francisco.

Well, now you can untake it then.

Don't worry.

I committed myself for at least two years.

What?

Well, that's ridiculous.

Can't stay apart for two years. We're not kids, you know.

And what did you do that for?

Well, you sent me away.

I didn't send you 3 ,000 miles away.

Well, Murray, why are we arguing?

I don't know. I don't know.

Look, I think maybe if you explain this to your bosses, they will not send you

back to the coast.

But I want to go back.

My business is here.

And my business is there.

If things were reversed and it was your job in San Francisco, you'd expect me to

drop everything and follow you.

Well, that's different.

Because you're the man.

What?

Well, what?

I gave up a promotion for you.

Things are different now.

Are you willing to give up something for me?

You're asking me to give up a partnership in the box? Yes.

Yes. If we're going to have any kind of partnership, you're going to have to.

Marcy, I love you. I love you, too. Well, what are we going to do? That's up

you, Murray.

What are you going to do?

Here you are, buddy.

Thanks, Sarge.

How about a refill, Mr. Vanna?

No, thanks. I'm fine.

Looks like Marcy said next to Murray here.

Yeah, he don't look happy.

Hey, Murray, want a martini?

No.

I'll have a cup of coffee. I got some clear thinking to do.

Yes, Murray, yes. You got a lot of clear thinking to do.

Because back there in that office on the top of your desk is a financial time

bomb ticking away.

Can I help you?

I want to hear the latest.

If I hear anything new, I'll flash you a bulletin. Take care of the customers.

Hey, Arch, could I get some change for the jukebox?

No. Yeah, but we want to listen to some music.

You and your girlfriend sit in a corner in home to each other, huh?

I know I love her, York. She's just one in a million.

I'll never find another woman like her.

That's true, Murray.

She's a woman who loves me.

And you won't find many of them, do you?

Murray, marry her.

Well, not that simple, Arch.

She wants a lot from me.

Well, what are you talking about? Give it to her. Give her anything she wants.

Oh, I don't know what to do.

Murray, you got money.

Your mother left you more money.

She's not like me. My poor mother left me some old towels and a drawer full of

string and tinfoil.

Arch, she wants me to move.

So go ahead and move. The two of you can't live in your apartment there. Move

any place you want.

You really think so?

Worry. You want to end up like Barney over there, huh?

With nobody to come home to but an old mangy dog that can't control himself in

any part of the house.

Nothing to share with nobody.

There you are. You went too far. this time.

Well, why didn't you stop me then? Cheer him up.

Come on, Barney. I'll buy you a drink.

Murray, you don't want that, do you? Look, Garth, there's no point in trying

convince me to do something I've written.

Listen, listen.

Look at yourself.

You ain't got that many active years left, you know.

I'm going to do it.

What? What are you going to do, Murray?

I'm going to get married.

And I'm going to move to San Francisco.

To San Francisco?

That's where she wants me to move.

Why didn't you stop me over here?

Listen, I don't care if it's gold paint or black paint, just so long as you

bring the kind of paint I asked of you.

You don't have to understand why I want that. Just bring it, huh? Thank you.

You're welcome, huh?

Yeah, please, bye.

You are up to no good.

I just ain't gonna stand here and take Murray's walking out, sitting down.

Don't you know when to give up?

gonna make a wonderful life with Marcy.

Yeah, why can't you be happy for your friend?

What the hell makes you think I ain't happy?

Arch, they're in love with each other.

Ah, Mr.

Van, I would all do respects. I think you're mixing up two things here. I

love and happiness.

One ain't got nothing to do with the other one.

All I'm saying is that Maury ain't gonna like it out there in San Francisco. It

ain't his kind of town.

How would you know? You've never been there.

I don't have to go way down to the South Pole to know it's warm, do I?

What do we got against San Francisco?

Mr. Ben, oh, God.

Sam, it's in the middle of Southern California, don't that say it?

I mean, they got every who -who from all over America out there.

Murray ain't gonna be happy there.

Come on, Arch, be honest.

You ain't worried about Murray.

You're thinking of yourself.

Well... Hi, everybody.

What's for lunch?

Hi, Steph. Look, you can have meatloaf or liver.

I'll have a hot dog.

Give her the meatloaf. Come here, kid. Come here. Sit down. I got to talk to

right away.

All right, now.

Listen.

Murray will be back any minute, huh?

Can we kind of run over? What are you going to say to him?

I don't think I should do this.

Do you want to make a middle -aged man happy?

Murray is happy.

I ain't talking about him. I'm talking about me.

I ain't asking you to lie about nothing, am I? I mean, wouldn't you be sad if

Murray went away?

Sure. All right, then go along in this here.

Here you go, babe.

Thanks.

Hey, hey, Murray's sitting there.

Oh, my God.

I'm sorry. I didn't see you there, Murray.

What? Funny?

Funny.

Let me hear. What are you going to say?

I'm going to call him Uncle Murray.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I'm going to give him a look like a sad puppy at the

pound.

Let me check out that look.

That ain't going to make it, kid.

Unless she was the heir to tears and tears.

Hi, everybody.

Boy, I tell you, it's nippy out there.

I just spoke to Marcy in San Francisco. She told me it's 70 degrees.

Oh, don't tell her.

Gee, it's strange out there. No seasons.

Hey,

look who's waiting for you.

Hello, honey. How are you? Hi, Murray. Uncle Murray.

Oh, well.

She's been waiting to have a little, you know, conversation with you here.

Oh, listen, I want you to look over these papers the lawyer drew up. Oh,

hey, put them away. There's plenty of time for that.

I'm just going to go away and leave you two here to have one of your heart -to

-heart talks, you know.

They really mean so much to the child, Murray.

Well,

Sam?

Hmm? What's up?

I'm really going to miss you, Murray.

I'll go, Murray.

Steph, I'm going to miss you, too.

I really need you to be a good example for me. If you leave, the only Jewish

I'll know is Amy Bloom's no -good liberal father.

And I won't have anyone to take me to the concerts and museums or the ballet.

What are you doing?

I'm trying to cry.

Even if I can't cry, that doesn't mean I'm not going to miss you.

I am.

I'm really going to miss you.

This is too... Is she getting to him over there?

I'll tell you what. As soon as school is out, I want you to come for a visit to

San Francisco.

Sounds great.

Why can't you and Marcy live here?

Well, Marcy needs to live in San Francisco more than I need to live in

But Uncle Archie says the woman is supposed to follow the man.

Well, now that's a man's point of view.

You see, we're raised to care about being number one.

And I found out that a man just has to care.

Period.

I like that.

Hey, Arch, I'm here.

Oh, the painter. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. You finally got here, yeah.

It's the painter, because it's an outside job. It's the painter. Get out.

the painter. I asked him to come and do a little bit.

Okay. All right, here's the job, right here. Okay, but you sure you want me to

use this stuff? Yes, yes, go ahead.

Oh, Murray, come here. This here was going to be a surprise there to you,

Murray, but you know who this is.

It's the painter.

I've got a painter.

Show him what he's going to do. Oh, uh... Murray, Clines, and.

Murray, Clines, and.

Up here. Up here, right here. Murray, Clines, and.

Archie broke this place.

I'm going to get me on, you know, for the front window.

And it's unordered. You'll be delighted with it when you see it. It takes 18 to

36 months or so.

I see. Well, send me a picture in San Francisco.

What I mean is, go ahead, get started. He ain't gone yet.

Maury. Wait a minute, Maury. Come here, just a minute here.

Listen.

Listen, I... Are you really gone?

I'm really gone.

Ain't there nothing I can do?

Yes, there is. There is something you can do.

What, what?

You can wish me luck.

Say, I can do that.

Okay.

There's one more thing I can do.

What?

I can throw you a party.

Okay, that's a good idea.

I'm married.

I'll miss you. Keep in touch. I will. You too. Bye now. Bye -bye.

Well, it's been quite a night, Mr. Lannister. Laurie!

When are you leaving?

Midnight. When's the wedding?

Sunday afternoon.

Ah, you're a lucky man.

Cherish every moment. I will, I will. But you got any advice?

Well, just this.

The good Lord gave you two eyes and two ears but one mouth.

You keep a happy home if you see and hear half what you say.

Don't you got that backwards, Mr. Manor?

By God, you're right.

I've been saying it wrong all these years.

No wonder all my friends are divorced.

Hey, Barney. Hey, Murray.

Murray, I want to talk to you. Okay, talk.

Hey, you know, there's something I wanted to say to you.

Shoot.

I forgot.

Well, Barney, I'm going to miss you.

That's it.

Is that what you wanted to say? That's what I wanted to say, pal.

Yeah, you know.

You know, I hate to say goodbye.

Well, let's not. Let's just say so long for a while.

Hey, you know, Snooki Lanson used to sing that, remember?

So long for a while.

There'll be no songs for a while. So long, dear hip brain.

Clutch.

Well, Jose, get a load of you. Boy, you really look snappy tonight.

Oh, I'll tell my brother. It's his suit.

Yeah, that fits you perfectly.

Well, it should.

My brother had to work the day that he bought it, so I went in for the fitting.

Well, you're a good guy, isn't he? You too.

And I want to thank you for always treating me like a person and not a

Oh, come on.

See Veronica around?

Yeah, she's in the kitchen belting that orange juice like there ain't no

tomorrow.

Ronigan? Hey, what is that, tears?

No, it's the onion dip.

I don't want you to go soft on me. Me never.

Oh, Laurie.

I wasn't going to cry, you know. I wasn't going to do that.

Hey,

listen, if Marcy gets out of line... You tell her that there's a red -headed

mick in New York who'll be happy to take you off her hands. No questions there.

I'll remember that. Good, you do that. I will.

Murray, the cat's here. Okay, gotta go. You better write.

You better answer. I will.

All right, bye -bye.

Goodbye, Mark. Bye -bye, come on.

Murray. Bye -bye.

Bye, Murray.

Take a nap now.

Yeah, I'm coming at you.

So long, Murray. Bye -bye.

The meat is running out there, Murray. You better get your coat on.

I'm trying to get in my grip, sir. Yeah, you're so started, huh? Here's your

hat. I got your hat for you here.

Okay, thank you.

Yeah, well... All I can say is you're the finest partner a man could ever

I said it.

I'll never find another partner like you.

Yeah, true, true.

Yeah, yeah.

Say goodbye.

Goodbye.

Goodbye. Goodbye.

Wait! Wait!
