It looks marvelous.
It's nice.
You know, with a little extra effort on my part...
Well, I mean... If I really worked at it, I suppose I
could be hysterically happy in a house like this.
Let's take the grand tour.
I wish you could've made it last night.
It was a lovely party.
Well, if it's any consolation, I had a lousy time last
night.
Well, whose fault is that?
Didn't I always tell you don't go to strangers?
Did I do something to earn that, or is that just an impulse?
Consider it a loan.
You can pay me back with interest later.
Oh. Mmm.
How much is this house?
$95,000.
What did they say they'd settle for?
Oh, 88, probably.
Why?
Because I might be able to
throw a little
business your way, if you have no objections to making a big commission.
Darling, I'd sell you an outhouse if I thought it would put a buck in my pocket.
Now there's the bastard I know and love.
Now there's the bastard I know and love.
Do you remember Charlie Eisen?
Bob and Nancy introduced him to us.
Yeah, he's a lawyer, isn't he?
Yeah.
He might be interested in this house.
He was at the party last night, and it seems as though he's
planning on getting married.
Hmm.
Sounds like he's doing okay.
Who's the lucky girl?
Me.

Don't Go to Strangers
Etta Jones
Build your dreams to the stars above
But when you need someone true to love
Don't go to strangers, darling, come on to me
Play with fire till your fingers burn
And when there's no place for you to turn
Don't go to strangers, darling, come on to me
For, when you hear a call to follow your heart
You'll follow your heart I know
I've been through it all and I'm an old hand
And I'll understand if you go
So make your mark for your friends to see
But when you need more than company
Don't go to strangers, come on to me
