Nothing.

Olive: Do you swear.
I swear.

29
Mickey: You hear that? She took pills.
Just a few, that's all.
30
Mickey: what kind of pills.
I don't know. Little green ones. I just grabbed anything out of Sidney's cabinet. I must have been crazy.
31
Olive: I'm going to call sidney. He'll check the cabinet.
No! Don't call him! if he hears I took a whole bottle of pills...
32
Olive: Maybe they were vitamins, she could be the healthiest one in the room. Take it easy, will you?
Don't call Sidney. Promise me you won't call Sidney.
33
Olive: He's an optometrist. If she goes blind, i'll call him.
Please let me sit down, I can't walk this far without my Nikes.
34
Mickey: You're not sitting down till we get those pills out.
I got them out. They're out.
35
Mickey: When did they come out.
I had a pizza on Broadway. I threw up in the elevator....I'm sorry, they'll think a dog did it? ....can I have a drink, somebody?
36
Vera: Alright
Fourteen years! Did you know we were married for fourteen years renee?
37
Renee: Yes, Florence. I knew
And now it's over. Just like that. Fourteen years out the window.
38
Sylvie: Maybe it was just a fight. You've had fights before
No. It's over. He's getting a lawyer tomorrow. My cousin.
39
Mickey: It's alright, darling. Let it out. Let it all out.
Twelve hours i've been crying. I don't know where it's all coming from. I think it's all the same tears just going around in circles.
40
Vera: Is Dr. Pepper alright?
Don't call him i'm fine!
41
Vera: it's a drink.
Oh. Thanks vera.
42
Olive: Florence, everyone's been worried sick about you. Where have you been for the whole day.
I don't know. I just wandered around the city. I ended up at the Museum of Modern Art. I talked to this security guard for an hour. He just stood there, listening to everything I said. So patient.
43
Olive: Yeah, come on. she's alright. Let's call it a night.
I'm so ashamed girls. Please forgive me.
44
Olive: Oh Florence, Florence, Florence, Florence
I know. I know. I know. I know. What am I going to do, Olive?
45
You're going to wash those pills down with some hot black coffee, i'll make it.
The terrible thing is, I still love him. It was a lousy marriage, but I still love him. I didn't want this divorce.
46
Olive: you want a brownie? A chocolate brownie? It's about three weeks old but I could toast it.
If Sidney and I break up, i'll be the first one in my family to be divorced.
47
Olive: You told me your mother and father were divorced.
I mean since then...my sister is still married...Separated, but married.
48
Olive: How about some espresso? With Stella d'oro cookies?
How dare he treat me like this! How dare he! Oh! Oh my neck! My neck!
49
Olive: What did you do?
It's a nerve spasm. I get it in the neck. Oh god, oh god it hurts.
50
Olive: What can I do?
A towel. Get me a hot towel. very hot.
51
Olive: What about some asprins?
Asprin is good. And some brandy....I can't move my neck.
52
Olive: Hot towel, asprin and brandy, anything else?
Ben-gay, to rub in after.
53
Olive: Right
And a scarf. A woolen scarf...cashmere is better if you have one. I knew something was coming, Olive. I knew we were in trouble. In the middle of the night, i'd tiptoe into the bathroom and I would pray, "Please God, please help me save my marriage. please, god tell me what to do. Tell me what i'm doing wrong. Please god help me . ....and then i'd hear Sidney in the bedroom saying "Please god make her shut up. Tell her to be quiet. Please, god"
54
Olive: Here, put the scarf on. Take your aspirins.
I'm not a complainer. I've never once tried to change sidney. He wears a toupee two sizes too big. He looks like an english sheepdog. I never said a word.
55
Olive: drink them down with brandy.
Now he's into cowboy boots. Five foot three and a half and he wears cowboy boots. They come up to his knees. He looks like he jumped off a hundred foot horse. He's also into languages. He's studying Russian at the new school. Instead of Yes, he says "da" everything is "da".
56
Olive: You're tensing up again, Florence. Stop tensing up!
I'm married to a five foot three inch man with an oversized toupee and boots up to his knees who walks around saying "da" and he walks out on /me/?
57
Olive: Will you relax! Relax,damnit! Your neck feels like arnold schwart...
Sometimes I think i'm crazy, sometimes I think I should be put in an institution.
58
Olive: later if the massage doesn't work.
That doesn't smell like Ben-Gay
59
You're right. it's toothpaste.
I don't think this is helping me.
60
Because you won't relax. Have you always been this tense.
Since I was a baby. I could chew a thick sirloin steak with just my gums.
61
Bend over.
I do terrible things olive. I cry. I panic. I get hysterical.
62
If this hurts just tell me because I don't know what the hell i'm doing.
I take advantage of you, Olive. I abuse our friendship. I know I drive you crazy.
63
You don't.
Yes. i do.
64
You don't.
I do. I see you grit your teeth together when I talk to you. You used to have much longer teeth.
65
Okay. How does your neck feel.
Better.
66
Good.
But it never lasts long.
67
Maybe this time.
No. It just came back.
68
Drink your brandy.
I don't think I can. It doesn't go down.
69
I'll get you a plunger. Come on. drink the brandy, you'll feel better.
Thank god the kids are away at summer camp. They'll be spared this until september.
70
Please drink your brandy.
I don't want to get divorced, Olive. i don't want to suddenly change my whole life. Talk to me. Tell me what to do.
71
Alright, alright. well first you're going to calm down and relax. Then you're going to figure out a whole new life for you.
Without sidney? What kind of a life is there without sidney?
72
I don't live with sidney and i'm very happy. You can do it, florence, believe me.
Olive, You've been through it yourself. How did you get through it?
73
*haagen dazs....laundry ....but I got through it.
And what about sidney? he's human too. How will he get through this?
74
He's a man. Men have freedom. He can meet women anywhere. We have to donate a kidney and hope the man is grateful and single.
You think sidney is thinking about other women? at a time like this? *hmmmm noise*
75
I guarantee you by tomorrow night he'll be at a singles bar sitting on a stool on top of two telephone books.
You think so *make strange noises*hmmm noise*
76
What's the matter now?
My ears are closing up. It's a sinus condition. I'm allergic. I'm not going to jump. I just want to breathe. ....I was even allergic to perfume. I had to wear sidney's after shave lotion. Old Spice Menthol. I always felt like I just sailed home from Singapore *moose call*
77
what are you doing
I'm trying to clear my ears. You create a pressure inside and it opens them up. *moose call*
78
Did it open up?
A little. But I think I strained my throat.
79
Florence leave yourself alone, don't tinker.
I can't help myself. I drive everyone crazy. A marriage counselor once kicked me out of his office. He wrote in my chart, Lunatic! I don't blame Sidney. It's impossible to be married to me.
80
It takes two to make a lousy marriage.
I can't help myself. I drive everyone crazy. A marriage counselor once kicked me out of his office. He wrote on my chart "Lunatic". If only I was seventy, seventy five, I could get through it.
81
I'll tell you what you're going to do. You're going to start your life over and stand on your own two feet. Be independent!
You're right.
82
Of course I am.
That's what I was before I was married. I was a great bookkeeper. I could've been price waterhouse today. You're right. Go back to work. Be independent. A self sufficient woman.
83
You're damn right.
Maybe I should ask for my old job back.
84
Why not? Who did you work for?
Sidney. God, the mistakes I've made. I'm an idiot. I hate me.
85
You don't hate you. You love you. You think no one has problems like you.
You're wrong. I happen to know I hate my guts.
86
Come on, Florence. I've never seen someone so In love. If you had two more legs, you'd take yourself out dancing.
I thought you were my friend.
87
I am. That's why I can talk to you like this. I love you almost as much as you do.
Then help me.
88
How can I help you when........I leave a mess after I read a book
Wh?
89
But what's the point of it all? when you're dead, they're going to throw dirt on you anyway.
If only I could change...Maybe I should call Sidney.
90
What for?
To talk it out again. Maybe we left something unsaid.
91
Where's your self-respect? you want to crawl back on your hands and knees?
He wouldn't notice. He'd think I was scrubbing the floors.
92
Florence, Listen to me....And move in here with me.
Won't I be in the way.
93
Of course you will.
I'm a pest.
94
I know you're a pest. I gave you the name.
Then why do you want me to live with you.
95
Because I can't stand living by myself either...because i'm lonely, that's why.
I never thought of you being lonely. You have so many friends.
96
Friends go home at 11....what do you want, a ring?
If you really mean it, Olive, there's a lot I could do around here. I could turn this place into something out of Architectural Digest.
97
Florence, Sports Illustrated is fine with me.
I want to do something, Olive. Let me do something.
98
Alright. Tomorrow you can build me a terrace. Anything you want.
You'll eat like you never ate before. You like hot Russian Blinis? Or Shashlik Caucasian? I'll make it for dinner.
99
You don't have to cook. I like eating out.
Breakfast and dinner at home. We'll save a fortune. We'll need it, because i'm not taking a single penny from Sidney.
100
Wait a minute. Lets not be hasty.
You told me to have self respect, didn't you. HOw am I going to have self respect if I take money from Sidney.
101
Money is the one area where self respect doesn't work.
I don't need anything from Sidney. I'll show him. I'll show him what I can do. .....That's him. That's Sidney.
102
Hello? Oh hello Sidney.
I'm not here. You didn't see me. You don't know where I am. I didn't call. You can't get in touch with me. I'm not here.
103
Yes. She's here.
DON"T TELL HIM THAT. DIDN"T I TELL YOU NOT TO TELL HIM THAT.
104
Yes. She told me everything.
How does he sound. Is he worried. What is he saying? Does he want to speak to me? Because I don't want to speak to him.
105
I agree with that Sidney
You agree with what. Don't agree with him. Agree with me. I'm your friend. I can't believe you agreed with him.
106
Well personally I think she's taking it very well Sidney.
I AM NOT TAKING IT WELL do you call this taking it well?
107
Oh. I know you have Sidney. You've been wonderful that way. God bless you.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN GOD BLESS YOU? DON"T GOD BLESS HIM.
108
He sneezed. What do you want from me?
I'm sorry. Does he want to speak to me? Ask him if he wants to speak to me.
109
Er. Sidney would you like to talk to her?
Give me the phone. I'll talk to him.
110
Oh you don't want to talk to her?
He doesn't want to talk to me?
111
Yes. I see....okay you take care too...goodbye.
He didn't want to speak to me?
112
No.
Then why did he call?
113
He just wanted to make sure you were all right?
He did?
114
He said he loves you very much and that you're a wonderful mother and wife.
He said that? What else did he say?
115
It wasn't important
What else did he say?
116
It was nothing.
What else did he say?
117
But as a woman, you're crazy as a bedbug.
Oh really? Is that what the short, bald, cowboy said? Well tell him he'll never find another woman like me if he lives to be a thousand.
118
Which bedroom do you want? One you can see new jersey the other you can see a guy who sleeps naked.
you know i'm glad. Because he finally made me realize it's over. It didn't sink in until just this minute.
119
You want some sleeping pills? Take some sleeping pills.
I can't swallow them.
120
You can suck on them all night.
I don't think I belived him until just now. My marriage really is over.
121
Florence. Let's go to bed. I have another career besides you.
Somehow it doesn't seem so bad now. I mean I think I can live with this thing.
122
Good. Live with it tomorrow. Go to bed tonight.
I will. I just want to start rearranging our life. Get things in order. Do you have a pad? I want to make out the menus for the weeks.
123
No menus! Don't plan my food! I don't want to make any promises to a roast chicken please go to bed.
Can I please be alone for a few minutes. I have to collect my thoughts. I think better when I'm cleaning.
124
I won't sleep if I hear you in here. You want to clean, go down and clean in the elevator.
You'll appreciate it in the morning. Once I get this junk out of here, you'll see furniture you never knew you had. Go on. Go to bed. I'll see you for breakfast.
125
You're not going to do anything big, are you?
Ten minutes. That's all i'll be. I promise. Olive!
126
What?
I never knew you were so lonely. It must have been awful for you here without anyone else...

Mickey: My what?
Your coaster. I just bought a beautiful new set of plastic coasters.
130
Vera: Here. I thought they were big chocolate mints.
Always try to use your coasters, girls....Sherry on the rocks?
131
Sylvie: Sherry on the rocks. And I have my coaster.
I hate to be a pest but wet glasses eat right through the polish, ruins the finish.
132
Mickey: Right. The cute little black girl with a circle around her eye.
aaaaand we have clean ashtray for Sylvie.
133
Olive: It's three names. Something something cereal.
aaaaand a sandwhich for vera.
134
Vera: That smells wonderful, what is it, Florence?
It's a crab salad with curry sauce and a little dash of dill on Swedish rye.
135
You went to all of this trouble for me?
Oh it's no trouble. You know how I love to cook. I just vacuumed the rug, try to eat over the dish...olive what did you want?
136
Peking duck for seven, can't you see i'm trying to concentrate.
Gin and tonic...I'll be right back....who turned off the pure a tron.
137
The what?
The pure-a-tron. Don't play with this girls, i'm trying to get some grime out of the air.
138
You're doing this on purpose. You're trying to distract me so your team can win.
No. I'm not. I don't even know the question.
139
Who was the queen of republic pictures
Vera Hruba Ralston.
140
It's the cards, she washed the cards.
Alright. what's the question?
141
Name a Philip Marlowe movie staring Robert Mitchum...
Goodnight My Lovely
142
And goodnight to you, sweetheart.
Oh, i'm sorry. Is that my fault.
143
I gotta get up early for work anyway.
Mickey, Does your husband like you being a cop?
144
Well, all he wants to do is kinky things.
Like what?
145
...you two are the lucky ones. I envy both of you.
Envy us? Why?
146
Because you're free...live out your fantasies.
Is that how you feel, vera?
147
...Men are better looking today than they've ever been.
Why do you think that is?
148
Because they're eleven years younger (leaves)
That's something, isn't it, olive. They think we're lucky. They think we're enjoying this. They don't know, Olive. They don't know what it's like.
149
I'd be immensely greatful if you didn't clean up just now.
It's only a few things...can you imagine, they actually envy us?
150
Florence, leave everything alone. I'm not through dirtying up for the night.
It's just a few dishes. You want me to leave them here all night?
151
That's why you make me feel guilty...footprints footprints...
I didn't say they were yours
152
...what did you want me to do? walk on the cabinets.
No. I want you to walk on the floor.
153
can I? oh that's wonderful.
I'm just trying to keep the place liveable...I don't want to irritate you...
154
Then don't wipe down the telephone. Some of my favorite prints are on that telephone.
....I was wondering how long it would take
155
How long what would take?
Before I got on your nerves.
156
I didn't say you got on my nerves.
Well it's the same thing. You said I irritated you.
157
You said you irritated me. I didn't say it.
Then what did you say?
158
I don't know what I said. What's the difference what I said.
It doesn't make any difference. I was just repeating what I thought you said.
159
Well don't repeat...god that's irritating.
I'm sorry. Forgive me, Olive. I don't know what's wrong with me.
160
And don't pout. If you want to fight, we'll fight. but don't pout. fighting I win, pouting you win.
You're right. Everything you say about me is absolutely right.
161
And don't give in so easily, i'm not always right. Something you're right.
You're right. I do that. I always figure i'm in the wrong.
162
only this time you are wrong and i'm right.
Oh leave me alone.
163
And don't sulk, that's the same as pouting.
I know. I know. Oh...(damn me) why can't I do one lousy thing right.
164
Why didn't you throw it.
I almost did. I get so insane with myself sometimes.
165
Then why didn't you throw the cup.
Because i'm trying to control myself.
166
Why?
What do you mean, why?
167
Why do you have to control yourself? You're angry....why don't you throw it?
Because there's no point to it. I'd still be angry, and i'd have a broken cup.
168
...Come on, Break the cup!!!
*throw cup* Ohhhhh my arm! I hurt my arm!!!
169
...You're a hopeless mental case.
I'm not supposed to use this arm. I have bursitis.
170
...you know what you are, Florence? A human accident.
Uh huh. who just happens to cook and clean and take care of this house. I save us money, don't I?
171
Thank you Pain Webber.
Okay. I may be compulsive but i'm not a grouch. We have our good times too, don't we?
172
Good times? Florence getting a clear picture on channel two is not my idea of whoopee
What are you talking about?
173
...the night was made for better things.
Like what?
174
...nature demands that our sex has to get in touch with their sex.
...You mean men?
175
If you want to give it a name, alright. Men!
That's funny. I haven't thought about men in weeks.
176
I fail to see the humor.
You think I don't find men attractive. I find plenty of men attractive.
177
Like who? Name one!
I always thought Adlai Stevenson was attractive.
178
Yes. But he doesn't date anymore. Florence we can't stay home alone every night.
Listen. I intend to go out. I get lonely too. But i'm just separated a few weeks. Give me a little time.
179
What am I asking? I would just like to have dinner one night with a couple of nice guys.
Who would I call? The only single man I know is my hairdresser, and he's into other things.
180
...used to live in spain, they're a million laughs.
How do you know?
181
I was trapped in the elevator with them last week. They asked me to dinner. This'll be perfect.
What do they look like?
182
Real gentlemen. They wore double breasted suits.
Double breasted suits doesn't mean you're a gentleman.
183
these had cuffs on the pants.
But are they young are old? Are they good looking?
184
I'm trying to tell you, these are two classy Spanish guys , no taps on their shoes.
Which one do I get?
185
...the Spaniard of your choice.
know what to say to them
186
...didn't understand a word they said.
they don't speak English?
187
They speak perfect English...just promise me one thing.
What?
188
Don't call them Sidney....they are manolo and jesus.
manolo and jesus?
189
You don't pronounce the j
where is there a j in manolo and jesus?
190
...they know the best Spanish restaurant in town
i'm not going out to a restaurant and being seen by everyone in this city.
191
you think people are lining the streets to see who we're going out with.
I'm talking about my friends, my family, what if my mother in law walks in and sees me drinking tequilas with manolo and jesus.
192
your mother in law lives in florida
this could be the one night she's in town.
193
...give me your hand.
What?
194
do you feel my breast.
...yes.
195
well it's not good enough...please
alright. alright. but not outside. we'll eat here.
196
...fighting for women's honor and hoping we lose
I don't intend to lose anything. You want dinner, i'll make dinner. I'll make...roast chicken Valencia with Spanish rice, eggplant, squash, potato dumplings...and a lemon soufflé
197
...I want them romantic not catatonic...
My food is light. My food is fluffy. Don't tell me how to cook. You want them to nibble your fingers, i'll spread pate on them.
198
who are you calling.
My kids. I want them to know what i'm doing in case one of their friends tell them that their mother is a tramp. Manolo and who?
199
jesus...
how do you spell it?
200
j e s u s
That's jesus! His name is Jesus?
201
it's a different jesus. stop worrying
You didn't tell me his name was jesus. I'll make something simpler...fish and loaves perhaps.
202
alright...come on. what is it?
What is it? Let's start with what time do you think it is...
203
I don't know? 7:30, 8?
Try 8:20.
204
alright. so it's 8:20, so?
So you said you'd be home by seven.
205
is that what I said?

okay. ...what's the problem?
If you knew you were going to be late, why didn't you call me?

I have dozens of earrings, I could've loaned you a pair.
