"That's not so bad." "Well, that's if they show up." "Just because they showed up to collect the money... is no guarantee that they'll show up to do the work." "And if they do, I can't pay for it!"

"Depends on how you're gonna raise the money." "Mmm." "I think I know how." "I know you know how." "Just stop." "I've got some things I can sell." "I don't wanna talk about money or the house any more tonight." "Neither do I. We could just skip town, borrow some bus fare." "Or we could hitchhike, hit the open road."

"Shouldn't he be here?" "Brad is the executive plumber." "We do all the work." "We're just about to get started." "You're free to watch if you want, though I wouldn't recommend it." "Are there any living things in there?" "Well, my girlfr..." "My wife." "What the hell." "Oh, I'd get her out." "Hold it, fellas." "Just a second." "There's a woman inside there." "Hold it!" "Come on!" "Hey, come on!" "Wait a minute, fellas, there's a lady inside there." "H-Here!" "Here she..." "H-Here you go." "Okay?" "Are you all right?" "Yes, thank you." "Is everything out?" "Yeah."

"Let's talk about love and sex." "Forget love, let's just talk about sex." "Max, I'm desperate." "I need money." "I need new plumbing." "I need new appliances." "A new staircase, Max." "Stop, please." "Too boring." "Plastering, landscaping, painting, a roof." "Too middle class." "Stop." "New floors, new tiles, new fixtures in the bathroom." "Okay, okay, I'll buy it." "I'll give you the money." "Only, please, God, stop!" "Thank you, Max." "Sometimes you can be very sweet." "I know." "How do I look in this?" "Oh, beautiful." "You look beautiful in everything."

"Well, not to the layman's eyes, of course." "They completely ripped up our house!" "They sure as hell did!" "They ripped the guts out of it!" "They're work animals, I'm telling you!" "Look at those holes!" "Then you got your gravel piles... your sand piles, your scrap piles." "Animals!" "Animals." "Well, I like a good conversation as well as anybody, but I gotta run." "Hasta pronto, if you know what I mean." "Y-You're leaving?" "Well, I ain't moving' in. [Laughing]" "But we'll be back when you get your permits." "Permits?" "The permit man was supposed to be here by 4:00." "Oh, he was, but you or your wife weren't here to meet him." "We weren't?" "Anna's not here?" "No, no." "I would've noticed." "The permit man was pretty agitated." "Really steamed his clams." "Said he'd be back when you grow udders and get milked." "[Laughs]" "That's a long time." "Yeah." "Yeah." "Well, if he ever does come back, you call me and we'll finish the job." "When I do get the permits, how long will the job take?" "Two weeks." "Two weeks?" "Two weeks?" "You sound like a parakeet."

"It is, really, much better than I imagined." "Thank you." "That's very nice of you." "One more job, though." "Here's your key." "It's the only one I've got." "Who wants it?" "Hmm?" "Well, I'll just put it on the bannister here." "You'll have no trouble selling this place, that's for sure." "Shirk Brothers'll give you a million for it tomorrow." "Great." "No, this wasn't an easy one, but the foundation was good, I'll say that." "And if that's okay, then everything else can be fixed." "Well, goodbye, folks." "Good luck." "[Door Opens, Closes]" "Well, this is it." "Are you going to spend the night here?" "No." "You?" "I'm already packed." "I'd better get packed myself." "I'll get my bags." "Walter?" "Walter?" "This step." "This..." "This was our step." "This is where it all started to..." "Turn to crap." "[Sighs]" "Too late to put it back together, isn't it?" "You slept with Max, and I don't care." "What?" "I don't care." "Well, I care, but not enough for us to be apart." "Really?" "Really." "I'm glad you slept with him, because now I know how much I really love you." "You sleeping with Max was the best thing that could've happened to us." "I didn't sleep with him." "Thank God."

"##" "## ["Ode to Joy":" "Rock Version]" "Look at me!" "Hey!" "Walter!" "A big smile!" "Hold it!" "Hold it there!" "One more!" "Ready?" "Hold it!" "Way to go!" "Thank you." "I got it." "It's a very nice house, and the price is reasonable." "[Laughs] Reasonable?" "It's a steal." "Oh, honey!" "It's so beautiful." "You buy or not?" "We're buying." "[Giggles]" "You can count it if you like, but you'll find it's all there." "[Woman] Carlos, come on!" "We haven't got all day!" "Let's go!" "[Chuckles] Mein wife." "Auf wiedersehen..." "Ah."
