A scene from The Money Pit 1986
Walter

You're up bright and early.

Anna

I didn't sleep very well.

Walter

You look great. Got a date?

Anna

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?

Anna

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

Walter

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

Anna

I think you're a jerk.

Walter

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

Anna

Neither did I.

Walter

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

Anna

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!

Anna

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!

Anna

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!

Anna

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!

Anna

I...love this house!

Walter

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

Anna

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!

Anna

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!

Anna

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!

Anna

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!

Anna

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.

Anna

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

Walter

Thank goodness it's not that often.

Anna

(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.

Anna

[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!

Anna

(starting to go upstairs)

GET BACK TO WORK!

Walter

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