Yeah, l'm ranting, why not? Who owns my house? Jap bank.

l'll tell you something else. N*ggers live not more

than six blocks from my house. Six blocks. Excuse me, mister. Have you got a problem? Yeah, l got a lot of problems. Look, l really don't care

what you gentlemen think... . ..as long as we don't have to listen to it. lt's okay, no problem. My friend's a little upset, that's all.

He got some bad news today. Yeah. -You trying to get us killed?

-l just finished telling you. .. . ..that some Jew got my job.

N*ggers live in my neighborhood. You embarrassed? You wanna leave?

You want me to hold it down, what? -Just--

-Don't give me that. l'm gonna tell you something.

l love this country. .. . ..and l fought for it in Korea. -And my country paid me to kill gooks.

-Hey, hey. But those same gooks

now own my house. l needed that job. l really needed that promotion. l was counting on the extra money.

l don't understand, the Jews are rich. What the hell do they want

with my job anyway? Hey, Bill, l know Goldman.

You can't exactly call him rich. You don't understand

what l'm talking about, do you? l'm trying to tell you

that l'm better than a Jew. l'm better

than some African spear-chucker. l'm better than some gook,

because l'm an American. l'm an American.

Does that mean anything? -Hold it down, huh?

-No, you hold it down. -How about "please, hold it down"?

-How about please, hold this? -Hey, Bill, wait a minute.

that's my wallet, that's my credit card. Huh? Hey, guys, give me a break, huh? Wait a minute. Hey, wait. Wait a minute.

Wait a minute! -Halt.

What are you doing to me? Hang the coon son of a b*tch. Are you crazy? You're insane. You're all crazy. You're insane-- MAN: Burn that n*gger.

BlLL:
What the hell's wrong with you? MAN: Okay, look out.

BlLL:
l didn't do anything wrong. What are you doing to me? MAN: Shut up, n*gger.

BlLL:

It is sometimes said... ...that where there is no hope,

there is no life. Case in point: The residents of Sunnyvale Rest Home,

where hope is just a memory. But hope just checked in to Sunnyvale... ...disguised as an elderly optimist... ...who carries his magic

in a shiny tin can. Vitamin A is for the scalp,

the hair, vision and teeth. Vitamin B is for the, uh, hair

and mucous membrane. Vitamin C is for the circulatory system. Very important for that part. And let's not forget calcium

for good strong bones and teeth. Before we get to that, though. . . . .. l always recommend

a little lemon juice in the diet. -Yes, l take lemon juice, yeah.

GREY:
Good diet, healthy senior citizens. Now to E. This is an important one. lf you've enjoyed healthy sex

throughout your life. . . [CROWD CHUCKLlNG] . ..there's no reason why you can't

continue to enjoy well into your 80's. WOMAN: What about the men, though?

GREY:
l have some special exercises for you. -That's Leo Conroy.

GREY:
You can do in your chairs. AGEE:

That's his kid. He's in real estate. GREY:

Well, the first, lean down over your lap. That's right. Arms hanging loosely. Good. Now roll your spine up. Good. [CHlLDREN LAUGH lNG

AND CHATTERlNG] You said maybe this week

l could come visit. Come visit. l wish you could, Pop,

but it's bad timing this week. We really have to be going now. -l understand.

-Maybe next week, Pop. We're gonna be late for the game.

Jeff has to. . . . Bye-bye, Pop. So long. Every second Saturday he carries

those cases down to his kid's car. And every second Saturday... . ..he carries them back upstairs again

and unpacks. GREY:

Stretch. Breathe. MAN [ON TV]: The answer is, "lt's been

nicknamed 'Scourge of the Sons of Han'... ...because of perennial flooding." Don't say it, Agee. l'm thinking. [CHlLDREN LAUGH lNG

AND CHATTERlNG] What is the Yellow River? Those damn kids. They've been told not to play around here.

Old people need their rest. But they're just playing, Mr. Conroy.

No harm done. DEMPSEY: l wish l could go out there

and play with them. Why don't you, Mrs. Dempsey? Because, Mr. Bloom. . . . ..she is old. You're never too old to play, Mr. Conroy. You see, when l rest, l rust. ls this your first time

in an old-age home, Bloom? No, actually, Mr. Conroy,

l've been in six or eight of them. Tell me, Mrs. Dempsey. . . . ..if you could go out there

and play with those children tonight. . . . ..what would you want to play? Well, l used to love all kinds of games,

especially jacks. l used to be elementary-school

jack champion. MAN [ON TV]: "He and his '500 hats'

lived in the kingdom of Didd." Don't say it, Agee. l'm thinking. But if l could tell my body

now what to do, l would dance. -Bartholomew Cubbins.
