I want to go over
to my place...
and start,
you know, getting it on...
I was terrible.
Yeah?
Did you ever, uh...
take ballet?
Be thankful.
Do you have a quarter for them?
Yes, I do.
# Bob, bob, bob, bob,

Well, what about me?
You'll see.
A lot of fun you are.
You're supposed to tease me...
give me hints,
make me guess, you know.
Oh, look. That's terrible.
He's not hurting anyone.
Neither are we.
Oh, God.
Every time I see
one of those old guys...
I always think the same thing.
What do you think?
I always think...
that he was once
somebody's baby boy.
Really, I do.
I think he was once
somebody's baby boy...
and he had a mother
and now there he is...
half dead on a park bench...
and where are
his mother or his father...
all his uncles now?
Anyway, that's
what I always think.
How's he doing up there?
When they had
the newspaper strike...
We're gettin' better than 40%.
It's not so good.
Uh-oh. What have we here?
Come on, babies,
wet your lips there.
Give me some tongue.
Just a little tongue.
Come on.
How about a nice
wet French kiss now?
Come on. A nice wet one.
Pay attention
to your recordings.
She's coming in loud and clear.
Look, Mark. Do you see him?
The man with the hearing aid
like Charles.
There with the shopping bag.
Well, that's it for Paul.
They spotted him.
Give me the phones.
He's been following us all around.
It's nothing. Don't worry about it.
We're spending too much time
together here.
No. Let's stay
just a little longer.
I got burned, Harry.
She looked at me.
I know. We heard.
Oh, did we hear.
What do you think?
I got some
good pieces, maybe 25%.
Paul, I'll call you
in a couple days...
if I need you.
Paul, you going
to the convention tomorrow?
You bet.
Hey, how about you, Harry?
Yeah. Maybe.
Little party like we did
two years ago?
Huh?
Hey, Stan?
See you, Harry.
Okay.
Here.
He's a nice guy for a cop.
You go.
I'll stay here a while.
Who's interested
in these two anyway?
I don't know for sure.
The Justice Department?
No.
I figure it must be
the Infernal Revenue.
Their tapes always
put me to sleep.
Since when are you
here to be entertained?
Sometimes it's nice to know
what they're talking about.
I don't care what
they're talking about.
All I want is
a nice, fat recording.
Hello, Mr Caul.
And happy birthday.
Happy birthday, Harry.
Happy birthday.
Hello.
Hello, uh, Mrs Evangelista?
Uh, yes.
This is Harry Caul
from upstairs.
Uh, uh...
Yes.
Well...
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
Uh-huh.
Yes, well,
you're really very nice.
Yes.
Uh, but...
I know, uh...
Yes, I found it. Yes.
But what I wanted to talk
to you about was, uh...
How did you put it
in the apartment?
Uh-huh.
Right.
Well, what about the alarm?
Oh, you did?
Well...
uh...
I thought I had the only key.
Uh-huh.
Well, what emergency
could possibly...
All right.
Yes.
Well, see, I would
be perfectly happy...
to have all
my personal things...
burned up in a fire...
because I don't
have anything personal.
Nothing of value.
Nothing personal
except my keys...
which I would like
to have the only copy of...
Mrs Evangelista.
Mrs Evangelista...
how'd you know
it was my birthday?
Nah. I don't remember
telling you.
Would you like to take
a guess how old I am?
that's a very good guess.
Mrs Evangelista...
as of today, my mail
will go to a post office box...
with a combination on it
and no keys.
Goodbye.
Morning, Harry.
Morning.
There's an article in here...
about the convention.
It mentions your name.
You're one of the notables...
I told them I'd be there.
Listen to this here.
Listen.
"Among those
pre-eminent in the field...
expected to attend...
are Hal Lipset and Harry Caul...
from San Francisco.
Kenneth Sperry will speak...
on Surveillance and The Law.
Wait a minute.
Listen to this.
Where the hell is it?
"Also attending
will be William P. Moran...
of Detroit, Michigan."
Since when did William P. Moran
of Detroit, Michigan...
become pre-eminent in the field?
Oh, he's very big there.
You want some coffee?
He's the guy
that told Chrysler...
that Cadillac was
getting rid of its fins.
It was a while ago...
but it was a big thing
at the time.

What do you think?
I don't know what I'm going
to get him for Christmas yet.
He's already got everything.
He doesn't need
anything any more.
Well...
I haven't decided
what I'm going...
to get you yet.
...get him for Christmas yet.
He's already got everything.
He doesn't need
anything any more.
Well, I haven't decided
what I'm going to get you yet.
Well, you better start looking.
Well, what about me?
You'll see.
Whoo! A lot of fun you are.
You're supposed to tease me...
give me hints...
make me guess, you know.
Does it bother you?
What?
Walking around
in circles.
Oh, look. That's terrible.
He's not hurting anyone.
Neither are we.
Oh, God.
Every time I see one
of those old guys, I...
