[Cliff enters the bar]

Hey, Cliffy. How ya doin'?

Not well, Sam. Boy am I mad. I've never been this upset! Three words, fellas. Three words... "Dames is grief"!

Fighting with ma, huh?

Oh and how. Seems like that's all we do anymore. You know, you'd think it'd be a perfect set-up: a mother and a grown son living in a one-bedroom apartment. But, no. Reality check, gentlemen! Life is not like the movies, I guess, huh.

I'm sure it'll all blow over, Cliffy.

Oh, no way, Sammy; not this time. I tell you that broad's pushed me too hard - too hard, I tell ya! And it's about time I started pushin' back. She's just gone and created a monster, that's all. But this monster is not gonna lie in some tomb of ice, no siree. My anger will melt that ice so that I might rise up and... and crush the Tokyo of the buildings there beneath the talons of my animosity...

[interrupts] Cliff. Cliff. We all appreciate how hard you're working on this metaphor, but we get the idea.

[on the phone with Rebecca] I'll be over as soon as I can. [hangs up] Shoot.

Who was that?

Ah, it's Rebecca; she's all upset. Your father-in-law invited her over to his place to listen to music tonight. She thought she was supposed to be his date; got all dressed up in a fancy dress. Turns out she's only there to tend bar.

How could she make that mistake?

Oh, come on, Woody. Put yourself in her position: you know, attractive guy asks you over to his place to listen to some music, wants you to wear a fancy dress... you'd go wouldn't you?

Oh, no. No, my high school drama teacher tried that one on me. "Once bitten, twice shy," my friend.

Do you know what I am. I'm a phony. I'm a great big phony. Pretending like I liked Mahler just so some rich guy would ask me out. I don't even know his first name.

Gustav. Gustav Mahler.

MCMa Clavin

[about the retirement home] Clifford, are you sure we can afford a place like this?

Oh, yeah, Ma. Don't worry. Your insurance policies will cover it.

MCMa Clavin

Oh, that's convenient. You'll have money left for hooch and slatterns.

These are your golden years.

MCMa Clavin

Oh, bless your heart. You've given me what every mother dreams of: a tastefully furnished room in which to die among strangers.
