Oh, Anna, thank God it's you! Thank God!

Walter?

Walter

Thank God you're here, honey!

Is that you?

Walter

Is it me? I'm speaking so loud I'm hallucinating! For a while, I thought the Care Bears were here!

Walter?

Walter

Farm animals or geese or chickens...

Walter?

Walter

UPSTAIRS!

Are you alright?

Walter

No, I'm not alright.

Where are you?

Walter

I'm in the den!

No you're not, I was just in there...

Walter

I'm in the den! I swear it! Please believe me!

Will you stop fooling around, Walter? I'm tired!

Walter

I'm right here.

Look, Walter, enough is enough!

Walter

I'M RIGHT HERE!

Where?

Walter

In the floor behind the chair.

(laughs)
Walter

Laughing, huh? We're laughing.

Walter
(stuck in the floor)

The permit man was here.

Oh? That's good. (starts trying to free Walter)

Walter

No, no. Now, tomorrow, I'm going to have to take off work, drive down to his office, and kiss his ass- (abruptly falls through the floor to the story below)

Walter

There is a house, I want to buy.

Benny

Let's cut to the chase, Okay? What do you want?

Walter

I want you to loan me $200,000.00 in cash.

Benny

No.

Walter

Benny.

Benny

You shout at me?

Walter

I shout at you! I need that money and you are going to loan it to me.

Benny

No, I won't!

Walter

Yes, you will!

Benny

No, No, No!

Walter

Yes, you will! I saved you 10 times that in taxes last year.

Benny

So what?

Walter

Benny, if you don't loan me that money. I'll...

Benny

You'll what? Huh? You'll what?

Walter

I'll...not like you anymore!

Benny

...All right.

Walter

Thanks.

Walter
(on the phone trying to locate a plumber)

Hi! We're having problems with our plumbing, and I was uh, Fielding, Walter Fielding... Well, there's no reason why should have heard of me... no, that's not a Jewish name... how much do I make a year? Well, how much do you make a year? Really!... Yale, I went to Yale... (gets angry) Look, get out of my life, would ya! (slams the phone down)

Walter

You're up bright and early.

I didn't sleep very well.

Walter

You look great. Got a date?

Yes, with the Marine Corp Band. I'm starting with the brass and working my way into the drum section.

Walter

Don't you think we should talk?

This is not the time to talk. I'm mad and getting madder.

Walter

Oh, you're mad! What do you think I am?

I think you're a jerk.

Walter

I know that. I didn't realize how big a jerk I was until last night.

Neither did I.

Walter

Let's just pack it in then, all right? Let's just finish this whole thing here and now!

Fine.

Walter

I'll pack a bag for you, so you don't have to come back tonight, and I'll send the rest later!

You expect me to move out?

Walter

You shouldn't have any trouble finding a bed!

Carpenter

I've got a bed, lady.

Walter

GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE! THIS IS PRIVATE!

I don't what makes you think you can just throw me out of my own house! You're the one who's moving!

Walter

I have worked, slaved, suffered! Put my time into my eyes, and you just want to move out, just because you have something for Max? No way! You hear me? No way!

I have worked and slaved and suffered for this house every bit as much as you have! Actually more, because I've had to put up with you!

Walter

This is ridiculous! You don't even like this house! You never liked this house!

I...love this house!

Walter

You've done nothing but complain about it, ever since we got here!

I did one other thing Walter, I sunk every nickel I had in the world in this house!

Walter

And you'll get it all back! I told you that!

Me and everybody you've ever met! "I'll pay you back." will be written on your gravestone!

Walter

I wouldn't give lessons on the value of promises! Your word didn't do too well on this last outing!

Your's is fine! It's certainly a lot better than your check! (walks into a room)

Walter

I'll get you your money back!

I don't want the money! This is my house and I'm not moving.

Walter

It's a big house, we'll divide it up! You stay in your half, I'll stay in mine!

That is such a dumb idea. Sometimes it amazes me you ever passed the bar.

Walter

I'm sure it does, you've never passed a bar in you life.

You are so much less attractive when I'm sober.

Walter

Thank goodness it's not that often.

(yelling)

All right, that's it! I've had it with you, and the house, and Max, and the orchestra and everything! How long will it take to put this house together?

Curly

Two weeks.

[Walter and all the workers start laughing]

Okay, We'll stick it out until the house is finished. Then we'll sell it, get our money back and get the hell away from each other.

Walter

Fine!

(starting to go upstairs)

GET BACK TO WORK!

Walter

Bang! Zoom!
[Workers murmur and Anna goes in to the bedroom and sobs]

Walter

Little problem in the kitchen, nothing trivial.

Well, the turkeys done.

Walter

So is the kitchen. Actually, it's a little overdone for my taste. Let's not go there again.

You don't want to tell me what happened?

Walter

No, I don't. I just want to relax in a nice lukewarm bath.

What about this?

Walter

I don't think that can hurt us any more.
[Walter and Anna pour water in the bathtub. Then, the tub falls through the top floor and breaks into pieces on the bottom. Walter feigns laughing hysterically.]

Walter
[Anna turns on the light again]

YOU WHORE!! I leave town for 5 minutes, you can't wait to leap into the sack with old Max!

You...Bastard!

Walter

That's right! Laying it off on me!

You hypocrite!

Walter

I'm not the one screwing around!

"Just be honest with me."

Walter

How long has this been going on?

You chauvinist meathead! (getting off the bed) I'm not telling you anything! (runs out of the bedroom going downstairs) Now or ever again!

Walter

Oh, this is perfect! Guess who suddenly turns into the injured party! Where do you think you're going?

Someplace where you're not!

Walter

Well, then, you stay here, because I'm leaving!

Fine! Get out! I never want to see you again! (the door splats into the wall)

Walter
(pulls the door from the wall)

The plasterer came?
