Private Property Page #2

You wanna watch

him start up with your twitch?

I watch anything, man.

What do you think

of schmegegge head?

Oh, he's nowhere.

She's ready to cut loose.

Now, how can you tell

that from here?

You'll learn to read the signs.

She brought him the drink.

She gave him a little bite

Did he bite her back?

Grab a hold?

Well, maybe

he's playing it cool.

Maybe he's got her

eating her heart out.

Ooh.

You see the way

she crossed her legs?

Oh, yes.

Do that again.

Hmm.

Like she never met him.

I wish the Halls

would sell their house.

They're asking too high.

Hundred thousand.

I don't like it standing empty.

You want privacy.

We need some neighbors.

What's wrong with Todd Anderson?

They're too far away.

Annie would have

to cover her fandango

when she swims.

I swam back and forth

ten times today.

Yeah?

I'm trying to trim down my legs.

Here we go.

-A little higher.

Man she can break you in two.

Let's get it up there.

Let's get it up there, baby.

A little higher.

Keep away from that man.

He's clutching her to him.

Nothing.

I promise you.

You see, he let go.

Would you let go?

Would I let go?

The only person who'd let go

is a moral degenerate.

Huh?

I promise you.

You'll be doing her a favor.

Yeah?

They're going in the house.

Now, who's doing who a favor?

They're going to have dinner.

Well, shows over.

Let's eat.

You wanna eat in or out?

-Huh?

So, you wanna swindle

a restaurant

or rob a supermarket?

I don't know,

does the stove work?

You wanna go to a movie?

I thought you had

your new blueprints?

Oh, just wait till you see them.

Now, don't move.

NOW 1!

Tell me about yourself, son.

Where'd you learn to cook?

I was a short-order

cook up in Fresno.

Hmm? You put too many grease.

No, that's margarine.

Margarine?

Well, you don't have to eat,

if you don't want to.

Floating marine engine.

Twice as much deck space.

Sleeps four.

Four?

Two.

Ever since I can remember,

somebodys been coming

on with grease.

And ever since I can remember,

I have been dumping it.

I didn't cook,

so you can dump it

in the garbage.

Are we going to live on it?

I picked out a little cottage

on the edge of the lake.

Subject to your approval,

of course.

Here's the real estate brochure.

Arrowhead Vacation Futures.

Porch,

trees,

and this is a wooden jetty

runs right down to the boat.

Oh, that sounds wonderful.

And I've marked

four whole weeks off

for nothing but us.

Oh, that sounds best of all.

When does it happen?

Well, as soon as I can find

a reliable guy to train.

All I need is a halfway

efficient manager

for the main office.

By that time,

I'll have the house paid off,

a cushion of good solid stocks

in the bank and boom,

we'll fish, and swim, and float.

I'll chase you around the woods.

That sounds best of all.

You know what I want?

Twitch?

I wanna get into that

white Corvette.

No, man.

They'll hear you.

If they hear us,

we cut out.

Now is it worth it?

You stay here.

No, man.

If you're gonna sit in it,

I'm going with you.

Could we have a fire?

Light the gas.

There isn't any wood.

I'll get it.

I'll get it.

No, I'll get it.

Smell that perfume?

Yeah.

It must be $20 a squirt.

I'm sure he's good for it.

His cash position stinks,

but his tax position

is nothing but capital gains.

You work the brother-in-law

and I'll work the lawyer.

Have two copies on his desk

first thing.

Roger, I'm ready for bed.

Wife noises.

See you at City National

in the morning.

Right.

What's Jack Paar got

that I haven't got?

I bought a new negligee.

You can wear it up at Arrowhead.

See you later.

-What?

I'm going next door

to borrow a cup of sugar.

Hey, I'll go with you.

No, man, you stay here

and take a tour of the house.

Lots of scenes.

Just a minute.

Hi.

Me again.

I found those people

I was looking for

clear over on Morten Drive

and they gave me a week's work,

and I finished it in half a clay, so I...

...I wondered if you had

any work for a landscape artist.

We have a gardener.

-Oh.

Well, how about specialty stuff?

Pruning, transplanting.

Well, he does it all.

Hmm. I bet he's Mexican.

No, he's Japanese.

-Oh, really?

Most of the guys up here

are Mexican,

they know tropical stuff,

but they're not too good on,

well, roses...

the better class of things.

He's very good.

May I point something out

to you, please?

You see that ivy?

It's falling apart.

No, really,

you can check with your man,

he's probably planning to do

some work on it.

But I could do it

in a half hour,

would only cost you 50 cents.

Well, I'll ask my husband.

That's very kind of you.

I'm trying to set up

a business route.

Well, if you change your mind,

I'll be back about lunchtime.

You needn't bother.

Oh, no.

No bother.

Where is she going, huh?

Hmm.

She needs help

with her spray can.

Her what?

Wait here.

Who is it?

Hi.

Hi, you left the side door open.

I rang around the front door,

there's nobody home.

Remember I said

I'll be back about lunchtime.

You told me I might have

a job with the roses,

I'm trying to set up

a business around here.

Hey, you don't wanna go

too heavy on that stuff.

What is it?

-Black Banner.

Oh, wow.

You know you can burn

the leaves with this stuff.

And another thing,

you wanna stand down wind,

you don't wanna breathe

in these,

it's got arsenic.

I got some in my eye.

You better bathe it.

It's better now.

I know the proper distance

and the proper amount.

You don't wanna get

rose bugs all over you.

Ugh.

Yeah, ugh.

You see,

you wanna get in

at the tender part.

Is this crabgrass,

these carrot things?

Well, I'll tell you one thing,

you can't spray that stuff.

You got to pull them out

by the roots.

You want me to do it for you?

How long would it take?

Hmm, half hour.

Cost you a dollar.

See, I get two dollars an hour

for my services.

How cheap can you get?

Well, you might as well

rake out the rose beds

while you're at it.

That olive tree seems

to shed all over the place,

but it never bears any olives.

Well, it's because

that's a male.

See, that one over there,

that's a female.

He gives her the message

and she gives him the olives.

Well, there's a bamboo rake

in the garage.

Would you like some lemonade?

I'm dry as a big old bone.

Why don't you go rest

in the shade?

Thank you.

Mmm.

Is it sweet enough?

Well, it hits the spot.

Did you plant the roses

by yourself?

Some of them.

Hmm.

You know, you put Helen Traubel

in the same bed

with Lowell Thomas.

I'll have to fix that.

Gee, I'm sticky

from the insect spray.

There's a faucet

up by the mint bed.

Could I ask you a favor?

Do you mind if I jump

in the pool?

I don't think you'd better.

Just for a second.

-But you don't have a suit.

With pants and all.

-I'd rather you wouldn't.

I'll be dry in a second.

Ooh, it's warm.

It's like a bath, come on in.

Oh, no thanks.

I'd get my hair wet.

Well, you got a cap.

Get a cap.

Oh, it's too much trouble.
