:08:01
Well!
:08:02
I do declare.
:08:06
State sentence
for a peeping tom,
:08:07
Is six months in the workhouse.
:08:09
Oh, hello, sweetheart.
:08:11
They got no windows in the workhouse.
:08:13
In the old days, they used to put
your eyes out with a red-hot poker.
:08:17
Any of those bikini bombshells
you're always watching
:08:20
Worth a red-hot poker?
:08:22
Oh, dear.
:08:24
We've become a race of Peeping Toms.
:08:26
What people ought to do
is get outside their own house
:08:29
And look in for a change.
:08:30
Yes, sir. How's that for
a bit of homespun philosophy?
:08:34
Reader's Digest, April 1939.
:08:36
Well, I only quote from the best.
:08:39
You don't have to take
my temperature this morning.
:08:41
Quiet. See if you can break 100.
:08:44
You know, I should have been
a gypsy fortune-teller
:08:46
Instead of an insurance company nurse.
:08:48
I got a nose for trouble.
Can smell it ten miles away.
:08:52
You heard of that market crash in "29?
I predicted that.
:08:57
Just how did you do that, Stella?
:08:59
Oh, simple. I was nursing
a director of General Motors.
:09:03
"Kidney ailment," they said.
"Nerves," I said.
:09:08
Then I asked myself,
:09:09
'What's General Motors
got to be nervous about?"
:09:12
"Overproduction," I says. "Collapse."
:09:16
When General Motors has to go
to the bathroom ten times a day,
:09:19
The whole country's ready to let go.
:09:23
You know, Stella,
in economics, a kidney ailment
:09:26
Has no relationship to the stock market.
:09:27
- None whatsoever.
- Crashed, didn't it?
:09:30
I can smell trouble
right here in this apartment.
:09:34
First you smash your leg,
:09:35
Then you get
to looking out the window,
:09:38
See things you shouldn't see.
:09:40
Trouble.
:09:42
I can see you in court now
:09:44
Surrounded by a bunch of lawyers
in double-breasted suits.
:09:47
You're pleading.
:09:48
You say, "Judge,
it was only a bit of innocent fun.
:09:52
I love my neighbours, like a father."
:09:55
And the judge says,
'Well, congratulations.
:09:57
You've just given birth
to three years in Dannamora."
