You are so lucky.
You could be dead.
Are you crazy? This man couldn't possibly be the rooftop killer.
Remember when you thought Frank might be the Unabomber?
That was different.

She fell in love with Generalissimo Franco?!
Don't say that...really, we don't know that.
Who else could it have been?! It was probably around 1960 --
Do you want some popcorn?
I can't believe this! I mean it's not like he was something normal like a socialist or an anarchist or something...
It happened in Spain. People do really stupid things in foreign countries.
Absolutely! They buy leather jackets for much more than they're worth, but they don't fall in love with fascist dictators.
Technology! Name me one thing, one that we've gained from technology.
Electricity.
That's one. You think this machine's your friend, but it's not.
I'm sure you must be late for something - volunteering at the Henry Street Settlement, or rolling bandages for Bosnian Refugees.
Actually, I'm having my eggs harvested.
And getting those eggs harvested.
So who is he, I wonder? Certainly not, I gather, the world's greatest living expert on Julius and Ethel Rosenberg. But somebody else entirely different. Will you be mean to him, too?
No, I will not. Because the man who is coming here tonight is completely unlike you. The man who is coming here tonight is kind and funny, he has the most wonderful sense of humor...
But... he's not here.
Well... if he's not here, he has a reason, because there is not a cruel or careless bone in his body. But I wouldn't expect you to understand anybody like that. You with your theme park, multi-level, homogenize-the-world mochaccino land. You've deluded yourself into thinking that you're some sort of benefactor, bringing books to the masses. But no one will ever remember you, Joe Fox. And maybe no one will remember me, either, but plenty of people remember my mother, and they think she was fine, and they think her store was something special. You are nothing but a suit!
It wasn’t personal.
What is that supposed to mean? I am so sick of that! All that means is that it wasn’t personal to you! But it was personal to me! It’s personal to a lot of people! And what’s wrong with being personal anyway?
Uh, nothing.
Whatever else anything is, it ought to begin by being personal.
What's his handle?
Uh...
I'm not gonna write him if that's what you're worried about.
Alright, N-Y-1-5-2.
N-Y-1-5-2. 152. He's 152 years old. He's had 152 moles removed so now he has 152 pockmarks on his face.
The number of people who think he looks like Clark Gable.
152 people who thinks he looks like a Clark Bar.
I'm not nothing, I have a little money saved.
If you need more, ask me. I'm very rich, I bought Intel at 6!
The truth is, he was the one who made me start thinking about writing --
Mister 152 Felony Indictments --
Mister 152... insights into my soul.
Yeah. Well. Can't compete with that.
Well. I keep bumping into you. Hope your mango's ripe.
I think it is.
The electrical contractor called, his truck hit a deer last night, so he's not gonna be here until tomorrow. And the upstairs shelves are delayed because the shipment of pine we ordered has beetles.
Very good, *very* good.
And we got a 50,000 dollar ticket for construction workers peeing off the roof.
Great, that is great. Is the electrician here today?
Perfect. Keep those West Side, liberal, nuts, pseudo- intellectuals...
Readers, Dad, they're called readers.
Don't do that son, don't romanticize them.
Your father is getting married.
Really?
Yes.
Congratulations!
Thank you.
Why?
Who knows?
Love?
Possible.
As far as I'm concerned, the Internet is just another way to be rejected by a woman.
Should I get sausage for the meat sauce or chopped meat..? No, you know what, I'm gonna get clam sauce, 'cuz this is a big date.
This place is a tomb. I'm going to the nutshop where it's fun.
