That wouldn't be a sore foot making you limp, would it?
Bowie Could be.
Bowie You said you weren't here when the pipes bust. Where were you?
Bowie I asked you where you were!
Seein' a doctor.
Bowie About what?
The baby we're gonna have.
Bowie Well, that's just fine. That's all I need!
You don't see me knittin' anything, do you?
Bowie Fifteen hundred bucks for a secondhand car?
That's right.
Bowie Whoever sells them for that, that's worse than robbin' a bank!

Bowie She got a real house.
Why not? We're real people.
Bowie Well, don't you have a place a little away from the others?
Uh-huh, just married, ain't ya?
Bowie Yeah.
Learn that, Alvin. Just-married people like to be alone.
I should think so.
Bowie Ma'am, you're baby's crying.
Well, I've been on this bus three days. When we get to the next stop, I'll fix her bottle. [ignoring the baby and going back to sleep] Till then, I just don't care.
