:53:00
You got a head on your shoulders.
:53:02
What do they say?
:53:04
Where there's a head, there's hope.
:53:05
Where there's life, there's hope.
:53:07
See, that proves
you really are a writer.
:53:09
There's hope for you, too, Charlie.
:53:11
Tomorrow I bet you sell
a half-dozen policies.
:53:14
Thanks, brother, but the fact is
:53:16
I got to pull up stakes for a while.
:53:23
You're leaving?
:53:25
In a few days.
:53:26
Out to your stomping grounds--
New York City.
:53:29
Things got all balled up
at the head office.
:53:33
I'm truly sorry to hear that.
I'll miss you.
:53:36
Well, hell, buddy.
Don't pull a long face.
:53:39
I keep a room here,
:53:40
and I'll be back sooner or later.
:53:43
And mark my words,
:53:44
by the time I get back,
:53:46
your picture will be finished.
:53:48
New York can be
pretty cruel to strangers.
:53:50
If you need a home-cooked meal,
:53:52
you just look up
Sam and Lillian Fink.
:53:55
They live on Fulton Street...
:53:59
with my uncle Maury.
:54:01
[ Rip ]
:54:11
Christ.
:54:13
Your room does that, too.
:54:16
I guess the heat's
sweating off the wallpaper.
:54:21
What a dump.
:54:22
I guess this must seem pretty pathetic
:54:25
to a guy like you.
:54:27
Well...
:54:29
But it's pathetic, isn't it?
:54:32
I mean, to a guy from New York?
:54:35
What do you mean?
:54:37
This kind of heat.
:54:39
It's pathetic.
:54:40
Well, I guess
you pick your poison.
:54:43
So they say.
:54:45
Don't pick up and leave
without saying good-bye.
:54:48
'Course not, compadre.
:54:50
You'll see me again.
