[as Frank and Basie are about to leave him in the street]
Basie, first I could show you some rich pickings. Hundreds of houses left empty. I could show you some of the houses I lived in before Frank found me. They were luxuriant!
Basie
Luxuriant? You had good sense being born there, Jim. I'm sure there was good living.
Jim
There certainly was good living, Basie. There - there was opulence!
Basie
Heh heh. Opulence. Frank, we'll go and take a look at some of these houses. Let's go, Frank. Opulence.
