Morning. CLYDE: Where you heading?

Erville.

CLYDE: I'm heading there.

Thank you very much.

Hold it.

I said I'm heading there.

If you want in, you pay for it. $10.

But you just said you were going there anyway.

Nothing's free in this world, pal.

$10.

Kindness is.

What?

Kindness is free.

What world are you living in?

Damn old truck!

What is it now?

You got a problem?

No, I got my head under here to keep

the sun off my bald spot.

Hey, you want me to take a look?

I think I know a little more than you do about my own truck.

You sure you don't want me to take a look?

It can't hurt anything.

All right. All right.

Go ahead.

JONATHAN: Right, give it a try.

[engine purring]

You have a nice day.

If you still wanting that ride, get in.

Thanks for your kindness.

My name's Clyde.

Jonathan.

You mechanic?

I have been.

You sure have a way with machinery.

Just a gift I guess.

You can make a lot of money per hour with a gift like that.

Yeah, I suppose so.

Well, where you heading in town?

Havencrest Home.

The old folks' place?

Yeah.

You got a relative there?

No, no, just some old friends.

Well, I'll drop you off there.

I don't want you to have to go out of your way.

I said I'd drop you off, didn't I?

Thank you.

Right, here you go.

Thanks very much.

Hey.

Yeah.

Thanks for the truck.

Trucks are like anything else.

You treat it nice.

It will treat you nice.

I'll be seeing you again, Clyde.

[melancholic music]

MR. HASKINS: All right, you'll have

to notify the Dieter family.

I can't keep the old man here after the end of the week

unless their payment's in my office by then.

But they said that their checks were late this month,

and as soon as--

Ms. Gordon, I'm aware of what they said.

I'm trying to run a business.

That's what I was hired for and--

may I help you?

JONATHAN: Excuse me.

I hope I'm not interrupting.

Not at all.

I-- I came about that job you advertised in the newspaper.

Gardening and general maintenance.

That advertisement?

That wasn't supposed to be in the paper until tomorrow.

Oh, yeah, I--

I know.

I found out about it at the newspaper office.

I figured the early bird catches the worm.

Quite true, Mr.-- um--

Jonathan Smith.

No jokes about the name.

Jokes?

Yeah, you know?

John Smith.

Jane Doe.

Oh, yes, I see.

We'll need some references, of course.

Yeah, well, that'll take me a little while to round up.

I'm from back east.

Well, you can't expect me to hire you without references.

Did your last man have references?

MR. HASKINS: Of course.

Well, where's he?

What?

JONATHAN: The last man, where's he now?

I fired him.

JONATHAN: What for?

Because he was lazy.

He wouldn't work.

It goes to show references don't mean everything.

Mr. Smith, I don't believe this conversation

is getting us anywhere.

Our policy--

I'm willing to work the first month without any pay.

If you like my work after that, I go on salary.

You're willing to work the month without pay?

That's right.

If I don't do the job, you just say adiós.

You don't lose a thing.

All right, I'll give it a try.

Thank you, sir.

Ms. Gordon, would you show Smith

where the utility room is?

Yes, sir.

MR. HASKINS: Oh, Smith.

Yes, sir.

I have a full inventory of everything in the utility room.

Every item is listed.

Got you.

It's such a nice day how come everybody's inside?

Well, they rarely go out unless a relative comes.

That's not very often for many, never for some.

What do they do all day?

They sit.

What about the staff?

Don't they plan any activities for them, outings or anything?

Mr. Haskins' policy doesn't call for that.

He feels that it's our job to provide food

and lodging, not entertainment.

I'm not sure this is the right key.

How do you feel about the policy?

Well, I only work here.

I'll have to get another key.

Here, let me try.

Hard to believe 100 years ago people didn't

need locks except in prison.

Times change.

JONATHAN: No, people change.

We stopped trusting each other.

I'm sure that you'll find everything that you need.

JONATHAN: Leslie?

Yes.

Is it all right if I call you that?

Yes.

I have to find a place to live.

I wonder if you had any suggestions.

Well, there's some vacancies in the building where I live.

They're not fancy apartments, but it's walking distance.

Well, that sounds just fine.

If I could walk over there with you after work,

I'd appreciate it.

All right.

All right, I'll see you then.

How did you know that my name was Leslie?

Oh, when Mr. Haskins introduced us.

I'll see you after work.

Excuse me.

I'm here to check your swamp cooler.

ESTELLE: Who are you? - Jonathan.

New maintenance man.

ESTELLE: Well, good.

They finally found a cute one.

Come on in.

It's over there.

Thank you.

ESTELLE: It's not going to work.

The other fella tried.

Of course, he was dumb as a milk cow.

I'll just take a look.

That cooler just about like most of the people

here too old to work right.

JONATHAN: Yeah, sometimes the old ones

are better, more dependable.

Yeah.

Get away from that door.

Go on, shoo!

You pervert!

Shoo!

Go on.

Shoo!

Did you see that man?

He's always peeking at me.

Well, maybe he likes you.

Oh, go on.

He can't be a day under 80.

I don't want some old man peeking at me.

JONATHAN: Is that why you stay in your room all the time?

Well, it won't be for long.

I'm not regular here, you know.

My daughter and her husband are coming

back from Europe in a few weeks, and I'm

going to live with them.

That'll be nice.

The rest of the old biddies are down the hall

watching soap opera.

JONATHAN: What's the matter?

Don't you like the soaps?

I don't like it when I have to watch with them.

They're all half-deaf, and they shout at each other

through the whole show.

What did he say?

What she say?

Meantime, nobody can hear a blasted thing.

Oh, Ms. Mattie.

That's my roommate.

Hi, Ms. Mattie.

You have to shout.

She hasn't heard anything since World War I. Ms. Mattie,

anybody die on "General Hospital" today?

Somebody went to the hospital and died?

What-- what room were they in?

No, not here.

On TV, who died?

They died on their TV?

Just fell over on it dead?

No, woman, on the soap opera.

Who died on the soap opera?

Oh, oh, no, nobody.

You see what I mean?

There's nothing worse than living in a place

with a lot of old folks.

I don't know.

I think old folks are pretty lucky.

How so?

Well, a lot of people don't live long enough to get old.

Got your fan all fixed.

You have any more trouble with it, just let me know.

Nice to meet you, Miss Mattie.

Nice to meet you.

You heard him.

Well, of course, I heard him.

I'm not deaf.

Well, why do I have to shout at you all the time?

MATTIE: You don't have to.

I never asked you to.

You're just like everybody else.

If you get old, people just shout at you.

My daughter doesn't shout at me.

Of course not.

She doesn't even talk to you.

ESTELLE: She's in Europe I told you.

Yeah, suit yourself.

I'm going to have my lunch.

She'll be taking me out of here the minute she gets back.

She won't let me stay in a place like this.

Go on!

Go and eat with them!

Spilling their food.

Clicking their false teeth.

Go on.

Go on eat with them.

You belong with them!

[melancholic music]

They're beautiful.

JONATHAN: Oh, thank you.

There's nothing like some flowers to brighten up a place.

How did you get this all done so quickly?

I like doing it.

It makes it easy.

I guess I got a green thumb.

Oh, it's-- it's 5 o'clock.

You said you wanted to look at the apartment house.

Oh, yeah.

If you give me a minute, I'll put the tools away and wash up.

Certainly.

Smith.

JONATHAN: Yes, sir.

What's this all about?

What, sir?

The flowers.

There's nothing on your worksheet about flowers.

I just thought the yard could use a little color.

I'd appreciate you're doing the work you're supposed to do.

JONATHAN: I did that.

All of it?

Yeah, you can check if you like.

Regardless, there's no money in our budget for flowers.

Oh, no, these didn't cost anything.

They're free from a friend of mine.

All of this?

Yeah, as much as we need.

One thing my friend's got is lots of flowers.

I got to run.

Waste of time.

When the place is sold, it'll be torn down anyway.

LESLIE: Oh, no.

What's the matter?

Mrs. Goodey won't be back until six.

That's all right.

It's only half an hour.

I'll just wait right here.

LESLIE: All right.

I hope it works out for you.

I'm sure it will.

Thank you very much.

You're welcome.

Would you like to wait at my place?

That will be nice if it's not too much trouble.

No, not at all.

Thank you.

The other apartments are the same as this one size-wise

except this is a two-bedroom.

I live with my brother.

Yeah, it really is a nice size.

Yes, it's one of the advantages

of an older building.

Mark, I didn't know you were home.

MARK: Now you know.

Mark, this is Jonathan Smith.

How are you?

Great, just great.

Would you like something to drink?

We're out of beer.

I'm fine.

I'm not thirsty, thank you.

You surprised to see me home?

Yes.

I got fired.

Oh, no.

MARK: Television stinks.

They ought to play football games during the week

for the unemployed.

Look, I think I'd better wait outside for Mrs. Goodey just

in case she comes home early.

All right.

Thanks very much for everything.

What happened this time?

MARK: Who cares?

ESTELLE: I care.

MARK: Well, I don't.

I don't care.

I mean, I was not head of General Motors or something.

I had a stinking job, and I will find another stinking job.

ESTELLE: Will you be home for supper?

MARK: I don't know!

ESTELLE: Well, I have to know whether to cook for two or not.

JONATHAN: How you doing, neighbor?

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to startle you.

It's so late I didn't expect anyone to be up.

I don't sleep much.

You're worrying about your brother, huh?

I saw him when he left.

It's the same thing over and over.

Every time he gets a job, he promises it'll be different,

but it never is.

I don't know why I even bother to ask

him what happened this time.

He was fired for fighting, for hitting someone,

for God knows what reason.

Has he always been like that?

No, not in the beginning.

He was a policeman in Oakland for almost 15 years.

He really loved that job, but then he started to change.

He-- he seemed to become filled with anger.

His superiors warned him about it, but it didn't do any good.

He was finally suspended for what they

call excessive use of force.

That's when he came to live with me.

How long has he been with you?

Almost five years.

But he hasn't changed during that time?

No, except that now he drinks a lot when he's upset.

That's why I'm so worried now.

He's gone to Rex's again to get drunk.

The last time this happened, he ran into a parked car

on his way home.

I'm sorry.

I'm sure you don't need to hear all my troubles.

No, come on.

Don't be sorry.

What's the old saying?

What are friends for?

I know, but we're strangers.

Because people choose to be.

And some people choose to be friends,

and some people choose to be strangers.

I'd rather be your friend.

Me too.

OK.

Look, I'm going downtown anyway.

I'll stop into Rex's and see how your brother is doing.

That's very kind, but he's been drinking,

and I wouldn't want you to. - Oh, good.

First, you're worried about your brother,

and now you're worried about me.

Maybe you ought to spend a little time

worrying about yourself.

I'll see to it your brother gets home all right.

Good night, Leslie.

Good night.

[MUSIC - SADDLE CITY BAND - "TRUCKING INTO TUCSON"]

I ain't taking my time.

I'm trucking on into Tucson.

I got the hammer down and loving on my mind.

I ain't taking my time.

I'm getting myself to Tucson.

Here you go, Hal.

Thank you, Bonny.

You wanna run a tab?

You bet.

[MUSIC - SADDLE CITY BAND - ''TRUCKING INTO TUCSON"]

Since we last said goodbye.

Now time is heavy on my heart.

Well, now there's highways, and there's byways.

They bring me closer to your loving arms tonight.

I ain't taking my time.

I'm trucking on into Tucson.

Got the hammer down and loving on my mind.

I ain't taking my time.

I'm getting myself to Tucson.

MARK: Do I know you?

Yeah, we met briefly today at your place.

Right.

Listen, I like to drink alone.

JONATHAN: So your sister told me.

Oh, that's what this is about.

My little sister is worried about me.

JONATHAN: Yeah, she is.

And what about you?

Are you worried about me too?

You or anybody you happen to hit on the way home.

Well, I don't need your concern.

Now, like I said, I like to drink alone.

What, are you deaf?

All right.

You want to sit here, you sit here.

What do I care?

What is it you're after?

You trying to make out with my sister?

No.

No, I don't think so.

Nobody tries to make out with my sister.

You know, I've been--

I've been living with her for five years.

In all of that time, she's never had a date, not one.

She sits home every night and reads a book.

She's smart.

She's smart.

You-- you know why she's never had a date?

I'll tell you why she's never had a date because she's plain.

Plain and smart.

See, and guys don't like girls that are smart.

They like girls that are pretty.

Maybe some men can see better than they can think.

Yeah.

You know, that's why I stay with her,

so she won't be alone.

The world stinks.

Only if we make it stink.

No, it stinks.

It stinks.

I was a cop.

I know.

Do you know what it's like being a cop?

Being a cop is like spending your life

watching the 6 o'clock news, killing, stealing.

And there ain't a damn thing you can do about it, nothing,

except turn off the set.

You could try changing it.

Listen, I am going to have me some more to drink,

and I'm going to have some fun.

Why don't you just go on home?

Oh, darling.

Darling, I never thought--

Do you mind?

I'm with someone.

MARK: Well, of course, you are.

You'd look silly out here dancing all by yourself.

If you're looking for trouble, beaver face, you found it.

Well, as I live and breathe, if it isn't Roy Rogers.

I was just having a little dance with Dale here.

JONATHAN: Look, I apologize for my friend.

He's had a little too much to drink.

He didn't mean anything.

Then let him apologize.

For what Hopalong?

All right, that's it.

Hold on.

Let's take it outside, boys.

You're right, kemosabe.

Come on outside.

I'll show you how the West was won.

You sit down, honey.

I'll be right back.

Yeah, he's right, Dale.

You just sit there and wait.

I'm going to be right back.

Two points.

There it is.

The O.K. Corral, hoot.

And I'm Doc Holliday.

Hey, that's enough.

Leave him alone.

I turned the other cheek.

You ready to go home now?

Yeah.

[music playing]

LESLIE: Are you all right?

MARK: Yeah, I'm fine.

Your friend drove me home.

I didn't ask him to look for you.

I was just worried, and he offered.

MARK: That figures.

What do you mean?

MARK: I don't know.

I'm tired.

Look, thanks for worrying about me.

Les, that-- uh-- that friend of yours that-- uh--

LESLIE: Jonathan.

Jonathan.

Doesn't he strike you as funny?

In what way?

I don't know.

I just don't know.

I-- I don't know what I'm talking about.

Get some sleep.

Good night.

Good night.

Good morning.

JONATHAN: Good morning.

How do you like them?

What?

JONATHAN: Our new bicycles.

Our bicycles?

JONATHAN: Yeah, I thought it would be a lot more

fun to ride to work than walk.

Getting a little cool air in your face

wakes you up in the morning.

Well, I couldn't.

I haven't written a bicycle in--

since I was a little girl.

Come on, riding a bicycle is just like-- like swimming.

You never forget how to do it.

No, I couldn't really.

Where did you get them?

JONATHAN: Oh, a friend of mine gave them to me.

Where do you get all these friends?

You've only just come to town.

I guess I have a way with people.

Now, come on, man up.

Really, I can't.

I mean, aren't we a little too old to be riding bikes to work?

Leslie, being afraid has nothing

to do with being too old.

LESLIE: I'm not afraid.

Then get on your bike.

All right.

JONATHAN: Here we go.

But you'll see.

JONATHAN: All right, I'll see.

You lead the way.

Go.

I don't believe it.

I can still do it.

Of course, you can.

Turn right.

We'll head through the park.

All right.

All right, get moving.

The race is on.

[upbeat music]

I thought you told me you couldn't ride a bike.

I haven't seen a woman pedal that fast since the old witch

rode off with Toto.

I forgot how much fun it was.

I know.

Hey, you know, I like that dress.

Which one?

JONATHAN: The blue one right there.

Now that looks like a dress, not like those things

you see in "Vogue" magazine with the great big shoulders

and the pizza pie hats.

Yeah, you'd look great in that dress.

Me?

Oh, yeah.

Of course, what do men know about women's clothes, huh?

Well, we better get going.

Last one there's a rotten egg.

Right.

[upbeat music]

Look at those flowers.

Yeah, pretty, aren't they?

They're beautiful but look at the size of them.

I mean, yesterday they were--

I just can't believe it.

It must be that chemical I mixed with the soil.

LESLIE: What on earth did you use?

I don't remember the name of it.

Ms. Gordon, it's five after 9:00.

LESLIE: Coming, Mr. Haskins.

I better get to work too.

I'll see you at lunch.

[humming]

[spraying and splashing]

For heaven's sake, look at this.

Do you like them?

Like schmike.

What's the difference?

It's a waste of time.

They're selling this place.

A big machine will come here and take everything.

I didn't know that.

How long has it been for sale?

About a year.

If it's been one year, maybe it'll be another year.

Come on, it's no use worrying about something

that's gonna happen.

I give up.

The man is a philosopher.

No, not quite.

I'll tell you one thing though.

I wish I had a hand with this place.

It takes an awful lot of time to keep flowerbeds

looking the way they should.

I know.

I had a garden myself.

You're kidding.

You wouldn't have time to give me a hand out here, would you?

Time, that's all we've got here is time.

Maybe some of the others would like to help.

You want me to ask them?

Yeah, I'd appreciate it.

I got plenty of tools for everybody.

All right, Mr. Philosopher, I'll ask.

Thank you, sir.

MR. HASKINS: Ms. Gordon, where is everyone?

What do you mean?

MR. HASKINS: The rooms are empty.

All of them?

MR. HASKINS: Practically.

Well, I don't know.

I've been in the kitchen for the last two hours.

The ovens are on the blink again.

Never mind that now.

Let's find them.

What's going on?

MAN: Beautiful, isn't it now?

Look at how nice and pretty.

Smith?

Smith?

Yes, sir.

I'd like to speak to you.

I'll be right back.

It's looking real good, Ms. Mattie.

Thank you.

Yes, sir.

MR. HASKINS: What's this all about?

What are these people doing out here?

Just a little gardening.

See here we're dealing with old people here.

JONATHAN: And I know that, sir.

Then why are you allowing them to do this?

Because they wanted to.

MR. HASKINS: What they want and what's best for them

are two different things.

What were you thinking of putting shears into the hands

of a woman like Ms. Mattie?

Well, it's too hard for her to dig with that walker.

And suppose she injures herself?

We'd have a lawsuit on our hands.

Or didn't you think about that?

JONATHAN: But she's doing fine.

They all are.

If you don't mind my saying so, Mr. Haskins,

I don't think you give these old people enough credit.

They're bored.

Besides, I need help in the garden.

I think he's right, Mr. Haskins.

What did you say?

I think he's right.

They need to get out and do something.

It doesn't take up any of the staff's time.

What harm does it do?

MR. HASKINS: All right.

But if anything happens, it'll be

your responsibility and yours.

What about the ovens?

Give them cold cuts.

I'll try and get somebody here today.

I don't believe I did that.

JONATHAN: What?

I spoke up to Mr. Haskins.

And he listened.

You say the ovens are out.

Oh, yes.

They should be replaced, but they won't spend the money.

I'll tell you what.

Why don't I barbecue some hamburgers and hot dogs

out here?

Oh, I don't know.

Oh, come on.

Anybody here want to have a picnic?

What are you talking?

A barbecue, hot dogs and hamburgers.

Did you hear that?

A picnic.

You mean we can eat out here?

You're darn right you can.

[cheering]

[upbeat music]

JONATHAN: What would you like, Loretta?

I'd like one of each if it's all right?

Sure.

We got plenty.

Are you sure, Loretta?

That's an awful lot to be putting in your stomach.

Oh, I can eat every bite.

I don't know when I've been so hungry.

It won't hurt me, Ms. Gordon.

I'm very regular, you know?

I know.

JONATHAN: Here you go, Loretta.

She usually eats like a bird.

Nothing like a little exercise to pick up your appetite.

There's nothing like feeling needed you mean.

The garden was a wonderful idea.

Well, they really are needed.

I couldn't keep it up without them.

I have a feeling you could do anything if you wanted to.

Oh, come on.

Don't I wish. Now, where'd Sidney go?

I got his burger ready the way he wants it.

Burned at the stake.

I think he decided to try and lure Estelle out here.

I'm afraid he's hopelessly in love.

Hey, well, good for Sid.

How'd you like a burnt burger?

Sure.

It's not going to do him any good, you know?

I've tried and tried with Estelle.

She hasn't left that room since she's been here.

Never underestimate the power of love.

Is there any left?

Sure, Doc.

What's your pleasure?

Anything.

It's all so good.

All right, I've got a little bit of anything coming up.

[knocking on door]

ESTELLE: Come in.

Get out!

Thank you.

I don't mind if I do.

I would like to be left alone.

Well, you are alone and you will be again in a second.

I just wanted to bring you some flowers

and tell you the food is very good outside.

So-- so here.

So over here.

It wouldn't be a total loss.

I'll leave them.

Mrs. Wicks Estelle, I know now the difference

between Jews and Gentiles Gentiles are rude,

and I love you.

So have a good day.

What's wrong with you, Mr. Gould?

What?

What do you mean?

I mean, what do you mean by coming into my room,

a perfect stranger?

Thank you.

For what?

For saying I'm a perfect anything.

From you, that's a compliment.

But it wasn't meant to be.

You are just a senile old man coming in here telling me

you love me.

I don't know you, and you don't know me,

and I'd like to keep it that way.

So as I said, I'd like to be left alone.

Your wish is my command, Mrs. Wicks Estelle.

But let me tell you something.

Old I am, and when you consider the alternative to being old,

it ain't so bad, but senile I'm not.

Know you I do better than you do,

and you don't want to be alone, and I love you.

So have a good day, Mrs. Wicks Estelle.

[sad music]

LESLIE: I wish you could have seen them today.

They were so different.

It was as though years are taken off their lives.

I've never met anyone like Jonathan.

What do you think of him?

Mark?

What?

What do you think of Jonathan?

I don't.

Leslie, can't you talk about anything else tonight?

I mean, that's all I've heard all through dinner.

I mean, Jonathan this, Jonathan that, Jonathan--

I'm tired of it.

You don't like him, do you?

I don't trust him.

ESTELLE: Why?

He's too nice.

Nobody's that nice unless they're after something.

I was a cop, remember?

I know a con man when I see one.

You're being silly.

MARK: Oh, I am, huh?

Let me ask you something.

Don't you think it's just a little strange that people just

give him things?

I mean, why him?

I drove by Havencrest today.

Do you have any idea what those plants would cost?

What about the bicycles?

Those are not throwaways, you know?

And a barbecue today.

Where did he get the money for all that food?

Did you ask him about that?

Yes, I felt very bad that he paid for it.

And what did he say?

He said not to worry about it.

Yeah, well, I don't know too many independently wealthy

maintenance men in this world.

I don't trust him.

The trouble with you is, you don't trust anybody.

If you've seen what I have seen in my life,

you wouldn't either.

I don't want to argue, Mark, not today.

I'm going to ask him to dinner tomorrow night,

and I'd appreciate it if you'd go out.

That's great.

I can't even be in my own apartment when he comes.

I'm a grown woman.

I'd like some privacy.

You want some privacy?

You got privacy all you want.

TV PRESENTER: 100 people surveyed.

Top six answers on the board.

You got to try and get the most correct answer.

MAN: Look at here.

Here, look at here.

Put more dirt.

Yeah, I know, but put more dirt around it.

[knocking on door]

Come in.

Estelle, could I talk to you for a minute?

ESTELLE: Of course, come on in.

Thank you.

Now, I've got a favor to ask of you.

If you say no, I'll understand.

ESTELLE: Well, tell me what it is first.

All right, I found a puppy, and the darn thing is just

so cute I can't get rid of him.

But my problem is he cries like crazy when he's alone.

Now, he's fine during the day because I'm with him.

But at night, it just isn't going to work.

I mean, you know, the way the landlord is.

One neighbor complains, and I have to get rid of him.

So what I wondered was could you see

your way clear to taking care of him for me during the day?

You know, feed him a little bit.

Take him for a walk.

Well, I don't know.

You know, my daughter's coming back from her trip soon.

Oh, no, no, no, I understand that.

But I figure in two weeks, he'll grow up a little bit,

and he won't be so scared.

I'll be honest with you.

I don't know who else to ask.

I have to have somebody I can trust with a puppy,

and you're the only one here I can trust.

I got him right here.

I got some cans of dog food and a leash too.

Come on.

Come on, fella.

ESTELLE: Oh, look at that.

JONATHAN: Cute, huh?

ESTELLE: Oh.

Oh, look at the size of him.

He isn't as big as a minute.

I don't think he's going to get too big.

Here, take a look at how small those paws are.

Oh, yes.

Oh.

JONATHAN: What do you say?

Will you watch him for me?

Well, as long as I can.

That's perfect.

I don't know how to thank you.

Well, I better get back to work.

I already fed him this morning, but I

didn't take him for a walk.

I wouldn't want him to mess up in the room.

Oh, he won't.

JONATHAN: And I haven't named him yet,

so if you want to pick one, go ahead.

Well, he's your dog.

I know, but I'm not very good at names.

See what you come up with.

I'll see you later.

ESTELLE: Look at you.

Look at you.

CUSTOMER: Look, we're not talking about a hand cannon.

It's just a pellet gun. STORE OWNER: Yeah, yeah.

I know.

But look at the workmanship on it.

You can't find that kind of workmanship these days.

CUSTOMER: The price is just a little too high.

I'll be right with you, sir.

No hurry.

Look, $55.

You can't beat the price.

I'll tell you what I'll do.

I'll give you $50 for it bottom line.

No, I can't do that.

Well, it's been here for two or three weeks.

It'll probably still be here two or three weeks from now.

Could be.

Yes, may I help you, sir?

A mutual friend suggested I come see you about a bike.

STORE OWNER: Oh, that's nice.

Who's that?

Jonathan Smith.

Smith?

The name doesn't ring any bells.

Well, he must be a friend.

You gave him two bikes free of charge.

Free of charge?

Look, I don't know what this is about,

but we don't give away bikes.

MARK: No, I'm not looking for a freebie.

You don't know this Jonathan?

STORE OWNER: No, I don't.

But we can give you just as good a deal as anybody in town.

We got more to choose from.

Yeah, thanks.

I'll be back.

Say, um, you haven't had a couple

of bikes stolen in the last couple of days, have you?

STORE OWNER: No.

Why?

I just wondered.

Thanks.
