Let me tell ya how it goes, Elleroy. Ya meet somebody. Maybe they're a little off-center, but they tell ya the truth, and ya like 'em — ya like 'em for that. And one thing leads to another, and ya end up in bed. Now that's weak, Elleroy.
Coolidge Max…
Now listen to me! Nobody gets hurt. Now, you go home, and you see your wife, and you're feelin' bad. Ya wanna unload it, ya wanna get it off your chest. So you tell 'er. And now she's hurt. Now that's weak, too, Elleroy. But it's also cruel. It's just goddam cruel.
[Hoover turns from Coolidge, but turns back again.]
Take a— here, here's something for ya. Here's something that doesn't cost ya twenty-five bucks an hour. You carry your own water, Elleroy. Ya understand? Carry your own water.
Coolidge [trying to thread a projector]
Damn it! I can't get my finger in there. It won't fit.
How come you got a hot dog in your mouth while you're threading the projector? Why do you eat while you're working? Why do you eat all the time?
Coolidge It's all psychological, Max. I eat so I don't think about food.
Oh... so you eat so you don't think about food.
Coolidge Yeah.
I don't want to butt into your business, but this psychiatrist, the guy you're going to, I think he's in worse shape than you are.
Coolidge [riding in the car]
You know, I've been thinking, why is it we always sit in the same place? And why is it you're always the one that drives, Max?
I guess it's 'cause I got the keys.
