PANORAMIC:
1.20 DOLLARS

Prices EXPENDABLES!

6 dozen

and two pumice stones.

Follow that car!

Why were you in such a hurry?

- Excuse me?

At the checkout, you disappeared.

I was not sure that ...

He had to speak.

I shouted "Hey!"

but you were soaring you.

No, I meant

in the shop.

Why are pumice stones?

- To remove ink from my hands.

And you needed elastic?

Yes, for my work.

You monitor me closely.

And razor blades ...

- I shave.

, You did not buy anything.

I wanted

a lovely lipstick

but it cost $ 1.50

and I gave up.

It was beautiful, it was called ...

- "Pastel Pink". A trite name.

For me?

- I rarely put.

As you are nice!

You also watch me.

- Yes, for a long time.

I had to smile

to jewellery.

It's not my style.

You could smile, the body,

instead of you scowl.

I wanted to take the defiantly.

- You have me doubled elevators.

Upon entering the elevator,

I thought you were behind me.

Is not that wonderful?

We do not see much

today.

We see Welfare Island.

You dream? We see nothing.

- Me, I see!

Not even the Chrysler building.

- Me, I see it!

You are crazy!

- My imagination sees.

Down, it was announced: bad

visibility. There is not a cat.

I do not mind.

I'm glad to be.

We are more

300 meters high.

The tallest building in the world.

This is wonderful!

Of course it was madness.

But it was worth it.

About ...

Voil your dollars 1.20.

How so?

Despite challenging your scowling,

I paid two inputs.

I explained to the cashier

we had bickered

and she gave me your money.

So it is you who invite me?

How nice!

Thank you very much.

I'll enjoy it more.

And you do not know my name.

What is your name?

My name is Patty O'Neill.

Don Gresham.

Don?

You name it goes very well.

Patty, it rarely happens to me

follow a woman.

I wonder how it works.

For 10 cents, you'll know.

- Thank you, you're nice.

When you arrived,

I pretended.

I've realized.

It's great!

Has seen for miles.

Do you watch?

I am already come.

My office is in the building.

You seem you impatient.

Would you hold my hand?

You are a little crazy

but your hand is soft.

What do you think?

I want to cry.

- Why?

All these people ...

- What people?

In Brooklyn ...

Brooklyn is it.

- And then I want to cry.

Why?

- This is so sad.

Live in Brooklyn?

Not kidding.

I was born there.

I do not understand

what you mean.

These poor people

working a sweat ...

It is not known by such weather.

- Do not be so down-to-earth.

There was so much fog,

descend.

I like it here.

Can not you cold?

I always have cold hands

when I moved.

And you are excited?

I dreamed of climbing here.

- You could not?

It was too expensive for me.

The price of a pair of socks!

I do not know what made me decide!

- What you're cute.

It will not hold.

- But if it will hold.

Well, let's say it does not.

Descend and go to dinner.

- No.

Why?

- I've already costed quite expensive.

Do not say that.

- An entrance and a lipstick!

And 10 cents telescope!

- It's true.

Voila!

You would not

of a needle and thread?

If, in fact, I have.

I'm going to sew

immediately.

Hold a second needle.

No scissors?

Give me the button.

You dropped the needle!

Too bad! I see is bigger

a haystack.

Come to my office.

You recoudrez button.

You have a needle?

My secretary

has many needles.

Good try.

What is your occupation?

- Architect.

That explains pumice.

Designer?

No, a real architect.

I can build

a cathedral or a shelter.

How much is a cathedral,

a little?

Your name on the door!

You are known?

I am

a good way architect.

Your secretary is not?

She leaves to 17 hours.

But it must have a needle.

So try it.

Do not ask me

why he bites his leg.

There are probably a needle.

What have we here?

Stamps, paper clips ...

We burn:
pins!

Have you ever seen sew?

I'm afraid ...

When you know,

you know she probably

thread and needle.

Will see in my office.

That's funny!

Looks like a umbrella stand!

I understand was what use

elastic. I can watch?

Please.

Civic Centre.

You built it?

It is constructed.

- Find your needle.

Needle? I'll look

in the workbook has the letter "A".

It's funny to watch a building

thinking that created it, right?

I'll tell you a secret.

My first build

was an ugly brick shed.

I went at night

admire for hours.

Alone?

Sheds

do not interest many people.

It's more fun

to admire someone.

Who is this?

Her name is Cynthia.

She is cute.

Very cute.

It is not on the desktop?

- She was there.

Are you in love with her?

I do not know. I was.

I'm not any more.

You like she?

- How do I know?

You were engaged?

We were more or less ...

It's over.

There are clearly not

needle.

Or do you want dinner?

- Nowhere.

We have dinner together.

Useless to discuss.

You can go to Stork Club?

- Of course.

It's too expensive

for boys that I frequent.

Generally,

we'll eat spaghetti.

I prefer a good steak.

Like the Stork Club?

I'll rarely.

But people love the show.

I'm an actress.

Known or beginner?

- Rather beginner.

Are you one of those bitten

that theatre in the blood?

No, I think

I'd rather marry.

Sure,

I'd rather marry.

But the kind of man I'm looking for

is not easy.

Will he find

the Empire State Building?

You are not my kind of man.

- Oh no?

You looked so awkward

arranging your button.

And you are too young.

Have you ever been married?

I want to marry

a mature man, very rich.

I wish he was married.

Too bad if he has 5 kids.

It's not very romantic.

Love is good for the girls.

I would rather be appreciated

that pampered.

You believe

it would be my kind?

Yes, you must be

very demonstrative.

I like that.

I am very affectionate.

Show me that.

Cynthia was loving it?

You ask too many questions.

Come on.

Why do we go to 79th Street?

The Stork Club is not there.

I know. But this is my address.

Can I go to the Stork Club

without button?

But I ...

We take a glass

then you recoudrez my button.

Singles

have no needle.

I am different.

Does not it bother you to go?

I do not know.

You try to seduce me?

I do not know.

Probably. Why?

I need to know.

You should feel this stuff.

It poses no

such questions.

Me, though. Always.

And if you answered

we will try to seduce you?

I believe and I lose a dinner.

If we say

we have pure intentions?

In general, I believe ...

But sometimes they are wrong.

I hate those men it.

Both girls

willing to be seduced

why choose those

who do not want?

Good. I will not give you the court.

Do you believe me?

Yes. You are nice.

I like you.

I might be lying.

- It's true. Do you tell lies?

I do not know. I never

met a girl like you.

This is nice!

- I will maybe kiss.

That I do not see any problem.

I wonder if you are naive

or if you let me walk.

It's simple, listen to me.

In a man, two things

can happen to a girl:

lose its virtue

or fight to keep it.

I will neither lose,

or fight.

I also play cards on the table.
