Two for the Seesaw

:04:09

- Hey! Jerry Ryan, glad you could make it.
- Good to see you, Oscar.

:04:15

Of all the people
I never expected to hear from!

:04:20

After a month, I got a sudden urge
to see a familiar face.

:04:24

- I see you're still painting.
- I'm painting, all right.

:04:28

Jerry, think what could've happened
to my talent if I'd stayed in Nebraska!

:04:32

New York saved my life.
I paint with my guts now!

:04:36

- I got a whole new...
- Oscar!

:04:38

Kindly look at the spaghetti,
it's gonna stick!

:04:41

Who cares! Come here.

:04:44

Sophie, meet Jerry Ryan,
from back home.

:04:46

An artist for ya - "Who cares?"!
Pleased to meet you, Jerry.

:04:50

Influence him to look at the spaghetti.

:04:53

- Sure. Oscar, I'll be fine.
- I'll be right back.

:04:57

:05:04

:05:11

...making compromises.

:05:15

Was the motivation absolutely clear?

:05:18

Well, truthfully, I did feel
a certain dichotomy.

:05:22

Your motivation
and the motivation of the...

:05:41

Think you're Rockefeller,
you eat out all the time?

:05:44

A nice little icebox'll save you a fortune.

:05:47

I'm trying to do you a favour. Why so
suspicious? With five bucks I'll get rich!

:05:52

I'll be five bucks less rich, won't I?

:05:55

What's a cottage cheese salad?
At least a buck, right?

:05:59

Buy a carton, twenty cents,
put it in the icebox and you're in business.
