1:17:03
Sure. I go next door all the time.
1:17:05
A lovely lady of 60 lives there.
Let's have some coffee, Felix.

1:17:09
Larry, you know what I'm talking about.
Romance. The romance seekers.

1:17:14
They're everywhere,
ready to fall in love at the drop of a hat.

1:17:18
Any place you've got a housewife,
you've got a potential mistress.

1:17:21
How do you know? You're the guy
that doesn't even like a dirty joke.

1:17:24
I'm a realist.
1:17:26
Society says,
"Felix, you're a one-woman man."

1:17:29
I say, "Yes, of course I am."
1:17:31
You want to know something, Larry?
1:17:33
I'm a liar. So are you. So is everybody.
1:17:36
- What are you getting at, Felix?
- Nothing.

1:17:38
I'm just an observer of the human scene.
1:17:42
A guy like you, the blondes
must come flocking from miles around.

1:17:46
Sure, I beat them off with clubs.
1:17:49
Never mind the clubs.
1:17:51
Just make sure they don't leave
any blonde bobby pins around in the car.

1:17:54
Eve's hair is black, remember?
1:17:57
And watch the ashtray.
No lipstick butts that aren't Eve's brand.

1:18:02
Or maybe your particular blonde
doesn't smoke?

1:18:06
You've got the wrong man, Felix.
I'm happily married with two kids.

1:18:09
Sure, we're all happily married
with two kids.

1:18:13
What's that got to do with your blonde?
1:18:15
She's happily married, too,
but maybe with only one kid, huh?

1:18:18
- Love them all.
- What are you doing, Felix?

1:18:21
Me? I'm a respectable ex-butcher,
my conscience is clear.

1:18:25
So is mine. Good night, Felix.
1:18:27
Outraged innocence
is always a good gimmick, Larry...

1:18:31
but the amateur tends to overplay it.
1:18:35
The pro, Larry, is a guy who establishes
a definite behavior pattern at home...

1:18:39
and never deviates from it, but never.
1:18:41
No sly secret glances
when your wife's at the same party...

1:18:45
no trips to the kitchen for a quick kiss.
1:18:48
Kid stuff.
1:18:49
The pro doesn't take any real chances.
1:18:52
You're taking a real chance right now, Felix.
1:18:54
- I'm liable to bust you right in the mouth.
- Are you? I doubt it.

1:18:59
Then you'd have to tell Eve that we were
discussing your blonde, wouldn't you?
