Hi, babe.

and this is a rather large

kosher pickle.

[giggles]

Ah, go on and read.

- Oh!

This is very, very important.

I don't wanna cut into

your reading time, at all.

Okay.

Girl like you needs

all the knowledge.

- Please.

- Oh, I can..

[giggling]

[moaning]

I got some of your stuff

from the cleaners

but the rest of it won't be

ready till Monday.

They're really swamped.

- Goddamn Super Bowl.

- I know.

Hey, you said, uh..

You were going by my apartment.

Did you go?

Mm-hmm,

there was a whole pile of stuff

in the middle

of the floor so I took

that to the cleaners too.

- A big pile?

- Uh-huh!

Oh, that was the janitor.

Honey, It's so silly,

I don't know

why you don't just

take my spare key

and bring the rest--

(Freebie)

'This is very good.'

Really, your food's terrific.

I was afraid that, um

it might get dried out

from being in the oven.

- It ain't dry.

- Don't say ain't.

Oh, I'm sorry.

For an English teacher,

that's like

nails on a blackboard.

[giggles]

So what happened today?

Same old crap, you know.

Beat up a couple hookers.

'They were easy.'

Drunk knocked over a sign

on Fremont Street.

What were you doing

standing in front

of the sign at the time?

Hmm?

'Oh.'

Uh, no, uh, Bean

when I leaned out to yell at him

he rolled up a window

and caught it in there.
