Paula McFadden:
Five minutes! Leave your bags this isn't a permanent conversation.
Elliot Garfield:
I'm dripping on your rug.
Paula McFadden:
It's been dripped on before.
Elliot Garfield:
Look, I'm sorry about this. I didn't know there were going to be any complications.
Paula McFadden:
There's a lot of that going around lately.
Elliot Garfield:
I don't blame you for being hostile. I think I get the picture. Tony rented me the apartment and split with the money, right? Then you and your daughter got dumped on.
Paula McFadden:
That is your version. My version is that Tony and I amicably end our relationship. We agreed that I would keep the apartment and you and your six hundred dollars got dumped on. Get the picture?
Elliot Garfield:
Very sharp. That's sharp. That's very sharp. You're a sharp New York girl, right?
Paula McFadden:
No a dull Cincinnati kid but you get dumped on enough and you start to develop an edge.
Elliot Garfield:
Okay, so what's the deal, huh? I mean, I got a lease here in my pocket. You gonna honor it, or what?
Paula McFadden:
I've got a daughter in my bed that tops a lease in your pocket.
Elliot Garfield:
Look, I don't want to get legal. Legal happens to be on my side, you know? Now I happen to have a lawyer aquaintance downtown, all I have to do is call this lawyer aquaintance of mine and...
[hears Paula groaning]

Elliot Garfield:
What? What?
Paula McFadden:
An actor. Another Goddamn actor. "I happen to have a lawyer aquaitance?" Right out of A Streetcar Named Desire. Stanley Kowalski in summer stock, right?
Elliot Garfield:
Wrong. Chicago in the dead of winter. Three and a half months at the Drury Lane Theater.
Paula McFadden:
Ask an actor a question and he gives you his credits.
Elliot Garfield:
You want to hear the reviews? Elliot Garfield brings to Kowalski dimentions that even Brando had not investigated?
Paula McFadden:
Terrific! You write beautifuly. Aren't you a little short to play Stanley?
Elliot Garfield:
Nobody knows that I stood on the poker table. What are you, a critic?
Paula McFadden:
No, I love actors. As long as they stay up on the stage where they belong. But you put them down in real life and the whole world gets screwed up. Well, I have had enough. I am not getting thrown out of the same lousy apartment twice. You want your money back? Go to Naples. You want this apartment? Buy me two tickets to California. Either way I will give you two minutes to think it over before I start yelling rape.
Elliot Garfield:
Jesus! You are really something you know that? Really. I'm surprised Tony didn't take a job in the Philippines.
Paula McFadden:
I hope you are thinking because I am counting.
Elliot Garfield:
Will you just wait just a second. Just... hold... hold it. Can we make a deal?
Paula McFadden:
What kind of deal?
Elliot Garfield:
I don't know. I just got here. Ha, ha. I can have a cup of coffee?
Paula McFadden:
No.
Elliot Garfield:
Oh, don't be bashful; just say what's on your mind.
