Seventeen hundred dollars

for a hole in the floor.

[Hammering Continues]

[Feet Stamping On Floor]

Turn it off!

[Hammering, Louder]

Hey, Gilliam. Hey! No repairs

unless authorized by me. You ever hear that?

It's not a repair.

It's more like a temporary blockade.

- Blockade of what?

- This place is infested with vermin...

and thanks to you, we can now

see where they're coming from.

The rats will eventually

chewthrough this...

but it just might stop them

for a night.

I've been upstairs.

I never saw one friggin' rat. Not one.

Maybe they're avoiding your floor

out of professional courtesy.

- Hmm?

- Anybody ever tell you you're a weirdo, Gilliam?

Knock it off.

- They will come.

- Oooh! Go to bed, will ya?

- [Footsteps On Stairs]

- Rats. Come on.

[Hammering]

[Screaming Fades]

[Man] The whole building's

probably infested, you know.

Yeah? well, there's gotta be

somethin' you can do...

just to keep 'em outta here,

you know what I mean?

well, you could try

training 'em.

That's very funny, pal.

Listen, you do whatever you gotta do.

Do the whole building.

Shoot 'em. Nuke 'em. Burn 'em. I don't care.

Fine.

I'll go start upstairs.

This is very gratifying, Mr. Kritski.

I never would have believed it.

Miss Bensinger,

Miss Bensinger.

- You're just in time to see my agenda.

- I beg your pardon?

- Didn't you want to see my agenda?

- Oh, of course. where is it?

Right here.

[Chuckling]

[Continues Chuckling]

I think the judge was looking for something

a little bit bigger, Mr. Kritski.

- [Door Shuts]

- women who are with me even once

never get over it.

I can't help it.

She wants me,

ba-a-aaad!

- [Pounding On Door]

- It's finally happened. The boiler's dead!

- [Man] Stone f***ing dead.

- we're freezing our asses here!

Now, come on

and do something about it.

- we'll break this door down if we have to.

- All right. All right.

Obviously, it's unusually cold

in the building today...

not necessarily due

to a malfunction of our boiler.

That piece of sh*t

is totally gone.

- You can't prove that.

- Proof? My parakeet is frozen solid.

I could crack walnuts with him.

I called every heating contractor in the city.

They're all booked solid. It's winter.

what do you want me to do?

Go out and kidnap one and drag him back here?

- Yeah.

- well, I'm not gonna do it.

If I can tough it out,

so can you people.

How are we supposed to get warm

in the meantime?

Burn one of your kids.

what do I care?

- Hey! Get off of the door.

- [Pounding On Door]

[Tenants Chattering]

Big Lou's right

about those shitheads.

- They wanna keep warm,

why don't they dance? [Chuckles]

- [Electric Motor whirring]

- [Switch Clicks]

- [whirring Continues]

[wind whistling]

[Footsteps Departing]

[Eleanor, Distant] You're no good,

and I don't want you around here!

[Man, Distant]

Maybe you don't, But what about Tito?

- Get outta here, Eddie!

- I'm not leavin'!

Sam Simon

Samuel Michael Simon (June 6, 1955 – March 8, 2015) was an American director, producer, writer, animal rights activist and philanthropist, who co-developed the television series The Simpsons. While at Stanford University, Simon worked as a newspaper cartoonist and after graduating became a storyboard artist at Filmation Studios. Simon submitted a spec script for the sitcom Taxi, which was produced, and he later became the series' showrunner. Over the next few years, Simon wrote and produced for Cheers, It's Garry Shandling's Show and other programs, as well as writing the 1991 film The Super. In 1989, Simon developed the animated sitcom The Simpsons with Matt Groening and James L. Brooks. Simon assembled the show's first writing team, co-wrote eight episodes and has been credited with "developing [the show's] sensibility". Simon's relationship with Groening was strained and he left the show in 1993, negotiating a pay-off which saw him receive tens of millions of dollars from the show's revenue each year. The following year Simon co-created The George Carlin Show, before later working as a director on shows such as The Drew Carey Show. Simon won nine Primetime Emmy Awards for his television work. Simon turned to fields outside television in his later years. Simon regularly appeared on Howard Stern's radio shows, managed boxer Lamon Brewster and helped guide Lamon to the World Boxing Organization Heavyweight Championship in 2004 and was a regular poker player and six-time in the money finisher at the World Series of Poker. Simon founded the Sam Simon Foundation, which consists of a mobile veterinary clinic that goes into low-income neighborhoods offering free surgeries for cats and dogs several days per week, as well as a program that rescues and trains shelter dogs. He also funded the self-christened Sea Shepherd Conservation Society vessel the MY Sam Simon. Simon was engaged at the time of his death, having been previously twice married, including to the actress Jennifer Tilly. Following a profile of Simon on 60 Minutes in 2007, CBS writer Daniel Schorn wrote in an online article that Simon was "perhaps the Renaissance man of the baffling, uncertain age we live in."Simon was diagnosed with terminal colorectal cancer in 2012 and given only three to six months to live. Simon died on March 8, 2015. He bequeathed his $100 million estate to various charities which he actively supported during his lifetime. more…
