You'll just get in the way.ĬLAUDE I mean- there might be guns.

I think he wants you to come and visit him instead.ĬLAUDE That's crazy talk. LENNY Artie only told me on account of I promised I'd see to it that you don't go. Or I should say the longest day of the year, since that's what it is - tomorrow is, I mean, but Charlie, you can't come!ĬHARLIE And why pray tell not, ya big goon? what’s it gonna hurt?ĬLAUDE What day's it supposed to be, Len? Nuttin' personal, Lenny.ĬHARLIE What can it hurt? If it's so darn close, why don't we drive over there and see? We can be ready, and if this 'see-ester' thing happens, then we take advantage. Or get this- Maybe it's a curse or something, like in that episode of One Step Too Far!!ĬLAUDE You've gone one step too far if you're gonna believe Artie and this idiot. ĬLAUDE It makes no damn sense! Why would everybody fall asleep?ĬHARLIE Maybe it's something in the water. LENNY Says he meant to, this year, but he's gonna be sporting stripes for a nickle. Couple years back, said he was hiding out and saw it happen, so he went back again the next year to see, and it happened again.ĬLAUDE Why ain't he in there robbing the place? LENNY No, he was serious - I could see it in his face. Artie's throwing you a knuckle ball, knucklehead. LENNY It's this town, see? He says the whole town is like loopy, cuz one day a year, for an hour in the middle of the day, the entire town just falls asleep.ĬLAUDE You're loopy. Ugly guys don't run off so often.ĬLAUDE Let's get back to the job? Just cuz he's kinda short and shriveled and stuff don't mean he might not make a good husband. Maybe I shoulda married him.ĬHARLIE I was joking. I think he told me cuz he knows I'd tell you, and that would help her get some of the nice things she deserves.ĬHARLIE Really? That big a score, then? Artie might have something going for him after all. LENNY But he still likes Cherlie there just fine. He found the perfect score.ĬLAUDE Yeah, that does seem a little cuckoo. Can we talk normal now?ĬLAUDE Apparently Artie told Lenny something in stir last week.ĬHARLIE If he ain't never wrong, why's he in the joint? LENNY Yeah, he said it was real weird, but-ĬHARLIE No! What is wrong with this world?ĬLAUDE I don't know, what's wrong with it?ĬHARLIE Them on the other side, they turned it off!! And just when Cynthia was about to reveal the name of the guy who ran off and left her with two kids, then changed hs name and married someone else.ĬLAUDE Don't encourage her. That car we nabbed ain't good for much but skipping.ĬLAUDE So Artie said this town was ripe for the picking? Hop skip and a jump.ĬLAUDE Good thing, too, Lenny. If youse two mugs can keep yer traps shut, I can just barely make out what happens to be transpiring. Whatchoo think, Charlie?ĬHARLIE Whoever's next door has a radio, unlike some, and they got the stories on. LENNY I tell you, Claude, it's a done deal! It was Artie told me, and-ĬLAUDE And Artie's never wrong. SOUND DRIPPING OF BAD SINK, DISTANT RADIO TALKING OLIVIA Did you have any trouble finding it? What do you mean, what kind of a place is it? Why, it's a fleabag motel in the early 50s, can't you tell? 'What kind of a place is it? Why it's a cheap fleabag motel, can't you tell?'
