Old Hawaiian Man : Are you staring at me or her? Because you're starting to
freak
me out.
Henry Roth : Settle down and eat your pancakes. I think she's a local girl. I
wanted togo up
toher. But I was kind of off
my game. But, man, was she cute, though.
Sea Lion Trainer : I thought you liked your bitches from out of state.
Henry Roth : Yeah, that's usually my policy. Make sure I don't get
tied down. Freeze that image right there. There's the little fella. Congratulations, Mommy.
Sea Lion Trainer : Sounds to me like someone is afraid of commitment. Let me
guess. Your high school sweetheart got drunk at party then cheated on you with
whole wrestling team.
Henry Roth : Close. Actually, it was my college girlfriend Tracy. And it
wasn't a wrestling team. It was her academic advisor.
Sea Lion Trainer : oh, she liked the older man.
Henry Roth : Older women. About 50 years older.
Sea Lion Trainer : I hope you shot the stupid tramp.
Henry Roth : What's with the "tramp" and the "bitches" talk? Are you drunk or
something?
Sea Lion Trainer : I apologize for nasty talk. I am grouchy due to lack of
recent physical intimacy. Shut up, because here comes one-time-only opportunity.
What I will do now is go into your office and become naked. Next move is up to
you. I may not be as limber as I once was, but I make up for it with enthusiasm
and willingness to experiment.
Henry Roth : I don't know if you realize I'm not
into guys.
Nick : Hey, Mr. Peanut Butter Cups.
Henry Roth : Hey, Mr. Could-kill-Me-in-one-Punch. How you doing ?
Nick : You're back.
Henry Roth : Yeah. Couldn't get enough of that Spam.
Fry some up and throw some eggs on top of it for me.
Nick : Yeah.
Henry Roth : All right, Mahalo
Nick : Hi, Lucy.
Lucy Whitmore : Hi, Nick.
Henry Roth : You know, why don't you try this? It's kind of a hinge.
Lucy Whitmore : Now, why didn't I think of that?
Henry Roth : Well, you're too close to the project. Don't be hard on yourself.
Lucy Whitmore : You are right. Sometimes you need an outsider's perspective.
Henry Roth : Fresh
eye never hurts.
