Anything I can do to help, lady.

Would you like some?

So tell me...

How have you been?

Who me?

Great, just great.

That's wonderful.

Yeah, I'm filling in for a friend of mine

every once in a while over in Radio City.

He's quitting the business, going to open up

a used car lot in New Jersey.

Said I could have a job there

if I wanted to.

Permanently.

Really.

That's wonderful.

Wonderful?

Five days a week, rain or shine,

in sickness or health, who needs it?

I go where the wind blows me.

If I don't wanna go to work,

I don't have to go to work.

And I can stay in bed all day long

if I want to.

So wonderful. You're happy.

Well, I am.

I really am.

Nice place you got here.

It really is.

You can see you put a lot

of yourself in it.

Little things here and there.

Very nice.

You made it very nice.

You know something?

If you didn't try so hard

to play against it...

...you could be a pretty decent

kind of a person.

Look how surprised she sounds.

What do you think you're doing?

- As if I didn't know.

- Come here, Louis.

Louis?

A new kind of experiment.

Don't.

You better understand something

here and now.

What we did before,

that was something happened...

...don't ask me how or why,

but it's not gonna happen again.

Why not?

Don't you understand?

I didn't know you then.

I didn't care about you.

I know you now.

I like you.

Man, I end up with a...

Look. Why don't you sit down?

I invited you to dinner.

Let's have dinner.

Tell me something.

That cook...

That friend of yours

in the restaurant business.

Do you like him too,

the way you like me now?

Or do you not care about him the way

you used to not care about me?

What are you, some kind of a nut?

Thank you so much for dropping in.

I'm sorry you had to leave so early.

Look, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I didn't mean... I made a bad joke.

Dead, dead. You're dead.

Wait a minute.

Look! I've got a man who wants

to get married.

And he wants to get married to me.

And if I don't hear the bells and the banjos

ringing everytime I look at him...

I can just live without the bells

and the banjos.

Cause I don't hear them when I look

at you either.

- Listen, Angie.

- Will you get away from me, please.

Just get away from me.

And stay away from me.

I don't want to see you anymore, ever.

Go, go where the wind blows you.

Hey, Angie!

And if you think you're such a big prize

talking to every girl in the world...

...who's out to trap you.

Now wait a minute, will you?

Hey, come on, Angie.

Let me in, will you?

Angie.
