broke, and sloppy.
Hello, sweetheart.
Yes, darling.
Yes. Listen, darling,
I told you not to call me
during the game.
I can't talk to you now.
Hee hee hee!
You know I do, darling.
Yeah. Hold on just a second.
Murray, it's your wife.
I wish you were having
an affair with her.
Then she wouldn't bother me.
Hello, Mimi.
"What time are you
coming home?"
"About 12:
00, 12:30."About 12:
00, 12:30.Why, what do you want, Mimi?
A corned-beef sandwich
and strawberry malted?
Is she pregnant again?
No, just fat.
How could you hear?
I had the phone over my chest.
Who, Felix?
No, he didn't show up tonight.
What's wrong?
You're kidding.
No. How should I know?
All right, all right, Mimi.
I'll take care of it.
Goodbye.
What did I tell you?
Felix is missing.
What do you mean, missing?
He didn't go to work
or come home.
Mimi just spoke to his wife.
Wait. No one
is missing for one day.
Maybe he had an accident.
They would have heard.
If he's in a gutter,
who would know him?
He's got 92 credit cards.
When something happens to him,
America lights up.
I'll call his wife.
the last couple of weeks.
Didn't you think he looked edgy?
No. I thought you looked edgy.
Frances. How are you? Oscar.
Yeah. Yeah, I just heard.
Tell her not to worry.
You know women.
Listen, Frances, the most
important thing is not to worry.
Oh. She's not worried.
Frances, do you have any idea
where he could be?
You what? You're kidding.
Oh, no. I...I didn't know.
Yeah. No, he never told me. Yeah.
All right. Yeah.
Listen, Frances, you sit tight,
and the minute I hear anything,
I'll let you know.
All right. OK. Goodbye.
You going to tell us,
or do we hire
a private detective?
They broke up.
Who?
They broke up.
The entire marriage is through.
You're kidding.
After 12 years?
They were such a happy couple.
He'll go to pieces.
He'll try something crazy.
That's all he talked about...
his wife and kids.
He'll kill himself.
You hear what I'm saying?
He'll kill himself!
Stop being a cop
for two minutes!
Where did he go?
He went to kill himself.
Are you serious?
She said he didn't
want to do it at home
because the kids were sleeping.
Why?
Because Felix is a nut.
Did he say, "I'm going
to kill myself"?
I don't know.
She didn't read it to me.
He left a note?
No. He sent a telegram.
A suicide telegram?
Felix the nut, that's who.
Can you imagine getting it?
She even has to
tip the kid a quarter.
Maybe he's bluffing.
All they want is sympathy.
We got a guy who
calls every Saturday
from the George
Washington Bridge.
You never can tell
what a guy will do
when he's hysterical.
they don't jump.
What about the 10th time?
They jump. He's right.
There's a possibility.
Not with Felix.
He's too nervous to kill himself.
He wears his seat belt
in a drive-in movie.
If you're going to
kill yourself,
where's the safest place
to do it?
With your friends, right?
Open the door!
He may be hysterical.
Let's play it nice and easy.
Like they do
to those guys on a ledge.
What do we say?
Nothing.
Are you through
with this discussion?
He could have hung himself
in the hall.
Vinnie, open the door.
Remember, like we
don't know nothing.
Oh, hi, Felix.
Hi.
Hey, fellas.
Hi, Felix.
Hi, Felix.
How's the game going?
Good.
Very nice.
Good.
Good, good.
Sorry I'm late.
Any...Any ginger ale left?
Ginger ale?
No, I don't think so.
I got some root beer.
Nope. Felt like a ginger ale.
Somehow, I don't feel
like a root beer...
tonight.
What's the bet?
You bet a quarter.
It's up to Murray.
Murray, what do you say?
Murray?
Murray!
Murray.
What? What?
It's up to you.
Why's it always up to me?
It's not. What do you do?
I'm in.
Um...anybody
call about me?
Call about you?
No...no, not that
I can remember.
Why, were you expecting a call?
Did anyone call for Felix?
- No.
- No.
Were you expecting a call?
Uh, no, I was just asking.
I raise a dollar.
Costs me $1 .25 then, right?
Right.
I just thought somebody
might have called.
Uh, nobody called, nobody called.
What does it cost me
to play again?
$1 .25. For God's sake,
pay attention!
All right, take it easy, everyone.
Calm down.
He makes me nervous!
You make everybody nervous!
I'm sorry! I'll kill myself!
Murray!
Oh, sorry.
That's a pretty view from here.
What is it, 12 floors?
No! It's only 11 floors,
that's all.
See, it's only 11 floors.
It says 12,
but it's only 11 .
Gee, it's chilly in here.
Isn't it chilly in here?
Yes. Very chilly.
Want to play, Felix?
It's still early.
We're in no rush.
We'll be here till 3:00,
I don't know, I just...
don't feel much
like playing right now.
What do you feel like doing?
I don't know.
I'll think of something.
Where are you going?
To the john.
Alone?
I always go alone. Why?
No reason.
You going to be in there long?
Long as it takes.
Are you crazy, letting him
go to the john alone?
Suppose he tries
to kill himself?
How can he kill himself
in the john?
Razor blades, poison...
That's the kids' bathroom.
Maybe he could
brush his teeth to death.
He could jump!
Isn't there a window?
It's only 6 inches wide.
He could break it
and cut his wrists.
He could flush himself
into the East River.
He's not going to try anything.
Listen. Listen.
He's crying.
You hear that? He's crying.
Isn't that terrible? For God's
sakes, Oscar, say something.
What do you say to a man
who's crying in your bathroom?
He's coming.
He's coming.
Sit down! Sit down.
Well, I...
I guess I'll just be
running along...
Oh, Felix.
Felix.
Felix, wait a minute.
Fellas, I can't talk now.
We're your best friends.
Fellas, please, no!
Talk to us.
There's nothing to talk about.
There's just nothing
to say, Oscar.
It's over.
Let me go, please.
Let him go.
Leave me alone.
Stop him!
Come back here!
Get him! Get him!
Stop, Felix!
Felix! Felix!
Break it down!
Break it down!
Let's break the door down.
Break it in.
Felix!
He jumped.
What?
Ow!
[Thud]
[Felix]
My back.
Oh, my back!
My back!
My back.
My back.
Ohh, the back!
Ah! Oh!
Ohh.
Would you
leave me alone?
Ow. My stomach.
What's
the matter?
Nothing's the matter
with my stomach.
I didn't take anything.
Leave me alone.
What did you take?
I didn't take anything.
Don't tell Frances
what I did.
He took pills.
What kind of pills?
Little green ones
out of her medicine cabinet.
Don't call Frances.
When did you
take these pills?
You won't call her?
How many pills
did you take?
I can't remember.
A whole bottle
of pills?
My God!
Get an ambulance!
We don't even
know what kind.
He took
a whole bottle.
Maybe they
were vitamins.
He could be
the healthiest one here.
Walk him around.
Don't let him sleep.
