That little tree. It's in trouble. Come on.
Maude
[They walk over to a tree growing through the sidewalk in front of a building]
Look at it, oh. It's suffocating. Well, it's the smog. You know, people can live with it, but trees — it gives them asthma. They can't breathe. The leaves, look, they’re turning all brown. Harold, we have got to do something about this life.
Harold
What?
Maude
We'll transplant it. To the forest.
Harold
You can't do that
Maude
Why not?
Harold
This is public property.
Maude
Well, exactly.
