From the great state of mammary.

Not after last night

1,000 bucks a night.

Is that right? Is that what they get?

That's right.

I think that's ridiculous.

Inever paid for it in my life.

Except that time when I was

in the service in Japan.

But I was lonely.

Everybody was lonely over there.

Been there for a long time.

I don't know what I paid, though.

It was yen. Japanese money.

Just pile it up and sleep on it.

I either paid a buck 35...

or $1,300.

I still haven't figured it out.

I have a plan

She was nice to me, though.

Hang on

This Tiffany. Know what I mean?

She's got a little meat on her.

She's a softy. Not like the other one.

What's her name? Dominoe.

She's too skinny. What do you think?

I got it.

You remember in the 10th grade

there was this, uh, Rosalie D'Amato.

Italian girl?

She... she was built like this.

Same kind of b*obs.

Rosalie D'Amato.

Jeez, I loved her.

Never screwed her, though.

Did you?

I mean...

you can tell me now because, what the hell,

a lot of time has gone by.

What am I gonna do?

You know, I'm not gonna

get mad at you, hit you.

Did you?

Yeah.

Oh, sh*t! Sh*t! Sh*t!

I knew you did! I knew it!

Jesus! You were always doing that!

We're getting out

Uh, then how will we live?

Well, we never settled

on the dancing school

Or the boutique or the farm

I'll take the farm.

Uh-uh. The boutique.

You would take the boutique.

Why me?

Oh, Jewish guys never take the farm.

What's the matter,

you didn't see Fiddler on the Roof'?

Nothing but farmers.

I hate the thing he makes

us do, too, but we gotta go

I'm not up to it

We have to

Ohh

Tiffany, move your ass

Things he makes us do?

This could be something, huh?

Yeah. I'll take it.

What, you're gonna leave me here alone?

That's right.

Well, that's terrific. That's terrific.

I'll be staring at space here

and listening to surface noise all night.

Day

Tkk.

Good night.

You play much tennis?

Nah.

You gotta kinda isolate that little area.

What little area?

I mean, the tennis court becomes like...

You read any Zen?

No.

It becomes your universe.

And you become one with that space.

One time, when I was, uh,

riding in a cruiser,

before I got into Vice...

Yeah?

I got a call that there

was a domestic squabble.

And I was by myself in

the cruiser that day.

Had no partner.

Hmm.

So I went to this very, uh...

depressed part of town.

And I had to go around

the back of this house

and up these steps.

I knocked on the door,

and this lady opened the door...

hysterical, crying, and was she bleeding.

Well, I guess the guy had hit her

And so I stepped inside,

and then this guy just stepped out of...
