[Hallway in an office building at night. Uniformed security guards Willie and Frankie -- two working class nebbishes with thick New York accents -- carry flashlights and walk down the hall testing the knobs on the locked office doors.] Willie: [rubs his shoulder in pain] Shoo, boy. Frankie: What's the matter? Willie: Eh, my shoulder hurts. You know - you know that narrow hallway in the boiler room? The one with the, uh--? Frankie: Exposed bolts comin' out o' the wall? Willie: Yeah. Well, every time I walk past it, the bolts dig right into my shoulder. I-- It's very painful. Frankie: Boy. You wanna talk about some pain? I bought one o' them linoleum knives the other day, you know? Willie: With the double edge? Frankie: Right. Willie: Yeah? Frankie: So, I go home, you know, and I spread my toes apart and I just start sawing, back and forth and back and forth, you know? Willie: Mm hmm. Frankie: And I take a little thing o' Tobasco sauce, you know? Willie: Yeah. Frankie: And just dump it on there. Talk about a hotfoot, mister! Boy, that was rough. Willie: Yeah, I know what you mean. You know, the other day, I took one o' them, uh--? Frankie: Meat thermometers? Willie: Yeah! And I just shoved it into my ear, you know? As far as it could go, you know? But then I took one o' them, uh--? Frankie: Ball-peen hammers? Willie: Right. And just whacked it a few times right in there, you know. Frankie: Boy, that must smart. Willie: I know! I HATE when THAT happens. Frankie: You know what I hate? Willie: What? Frankie: I go into the kitchen, I open the drawer, you know? Willie: Uh huh? Frankie: And I take out a, uh-- Willie: Carrot scraper? Frankie: Right. And I stick it up my nose, you know, and I'm rootin' it around, and, you know, gettin' all the mucus membranes out o' there, you know? And then I take one o' them, uh--? Willie: Mentholated eucalyptus cough drops? Frankie: Right. And I stick it-- wedge it up there, you know? I take a couple o' whiffs, boy. Heh, ya feel like your head's gonna explode. Willie: Boy, isn't THAT the truth? It's like the other night. I'm in the attic and I got a bunch o' mousetraps, ya know? Frankie: Right. Willie: And, for bait, I used a big piece of, uh-- Frankie: Camembert? Willie: Right. So, so I set the trap, right? A-a-a-a-and I wanna see if the trap was gonna work, right? So I got the Camembert in there. Frankie: Right. Willie: But every time I went to taste the cheese, the thing came down right on my tongue! ... I'm tellin' ya -- after forty, fifty times, I - I - I couldn't even feel the cheese, much less taste it. I hate when THAT happens, I'll tell ya that. Frankie: Boy, you know what I hate? I hate-- I got a gross o' them, uh--? Willie: Razor blades? Frankie: No. Willie: Fish hooks? Frankie: No. Willie: Ah? Frankie: Thumb tacks. Willie: Ah! Yeah. Frankie: Right? Willie: Yeah. Frankie: So I bring 'em home, you know, and I sprinkle 'em all out over the floor, you know? Willie: Points up? Frankie: Right. Willie: Uh huh. Frankie: Then I strip down to the nude and I just ROLL back and forth across the room, ya know? Stickin' in all over my body. Then I jump in a hot tub and just soak. Willie: Mm hmm. Frankie: Hate that. Willie: Sounds very painful. Frankie: Very painful. Willie: [heavy sigh] Boy. So what're ya gonna do now? Frankie: Eh, I'm gonna check fifteen. Willie: Yeah. I'm gonna check nine. Frankie: Okay. Frankie: Good night, Willie! |
