:10:01
Yes, she did.
:10:04
It's damned hard to find
an apartment these days, you know.
:10:09
There's a student up
on the sixth floor...
:10:11
gave me half that much
for a single room.
:10:14
Don't get me wrong. I'm not trying
to criticize your apartment...
:10:19
but the toilet is a problem.
:10:22
Suppose I got sick... which I don't
often do, I can assure you...
:10:27
and I had to relieve myself
in the middle of the night.
:10:32
It wouldn't be
very convenient, would it?
:10:34
On the other hand, I could pay you
the 4,000 right away, in cash.
:10:41
It's not only a question
of the money.
:10:43
- Let's be clear, Monsieur...
- Trelkovsky.
:10:49
Trelkovsky.
:10:52
I won't exactly starve
without your 5,000.
:10:56
No. I'm renting the apartment
because it's vacant...
:10:59
and because I know
they don't grow on trees.
:11:02
Of course, Monsieur Zy.
:11:04
It's perfectly reasonable.
I understand your point.
:11:07
Could I offer you a cigarette?
:11:11
You want 5,000, fine.
:11:13
But if you got paid by check,
you'd have to declare it.
:11:18
Wouldn't you rather
get 4,000 in cash?
:11:22
I'd rather get 5,000 in cash
than 4,000 in cash.
:11:29
It's perfectly natural.
:11:31
Anyway, the former tenant
is not dead yet.
:11:36
If she comes back, you won't even
get your 4,000. You get nothing.
:11:41
Are you married?
Excuse the question...
:11:44
but it's because of the children.
:11:46
This is a very quiet building.
:11:50
- My wife and I are getting on...
- I wouldn't say that, Monsieur Zy.
:11:54
I know what I'm saying.
:11:56
My wife and I are getting on.
We don't like a lot of noise.
:11:59
You needn't worry, Monsieur Zy.
