Odd Couple Flashcards
(Lights up)
What’ll I do with the rest of my life, Olive? I have so much of it left. If only I was seventy, seventy five I could get through it.
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
Of course I am
That’s what I was before I was married. I was a great bookkeeper. I could have been price Waterhouse today. You’re right. Go back to work. Be independent A self sufficient woman
You’re damn right
Maybe I should ask for my old job back
Why not? Who did you work for?
Sidney. God, the mistakes I’ve made. Goddamn idiot! I hate me
You don’t hate you. You love you. You think no one has problems like you
If only I could change. I should call Sidney
What for?
To talk it out again. Maybe we left something unsaid
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
Florence listen to me… and move in here with me.
Won’t I be in the way?
Of course you will
I’m a pest
I know you’re a pest. I was the one who gave you the name
Then why do you want me to live with you?
Because- I can’t stand living by myself either…because I’m lone,t, that’s why
I never thought of you as being lonely. You have so many friends
Friends go home at eleven o’clock…. what do you want a dang ring?
If you really mean it olive, there’s a lot I can do around here. I’ll save us a fortune. Well need it. Because I’m not taking one single penny from Sidney
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?
Money is the one area where self respect doesn’t work
I don’t need anything from Sidney I’ll show him. I,l show him what I can do (phone rings). That’s him. That’s Sidney. I can tell his ring.
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
Yes. She’s here
DONT TELL HIM THAT, DIDNT I TELL YOU NOT TO TELL HIM THAT
Yes. She told me everything
Hoe 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.
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.
Well, personally I think she’s taking it very well, Sidney.
I am NOT taking it well. I’m taking it like a crazy woman. You call thus taking it well?
Oh I know you have, Sidney. You’ve been wonderful that way, God bless you
WHAT DO YOU MEAN GOD BLESS YOU DONT GOD BLESS HIM
He sneezed, what do you want from me?
I’m sorry. Does he want to speak with me? Ask him if he wants to speak with me?
Um, Sidney, would you like to talk to her?
Give me the phone. I’ll talk to him.
Oh, you don’t want to talk to her?
He doesn’t want to talk to me?
