03x17 - The Big Apple: Part 1

[bunniefuu]

Girl, can you believe how long it took him to solve that puzzle?"], Index , start ,…}


Nell, "wheel of fortune" is not an easy game to play.


Oh, please.


As soon as they called the letters "r" and "h,"


I knew the indian tribe was the arapaho.


You never heard of the arapaho in your life.


How would you like a rapaho in your mouth?


Nell, like pat sajak says on the show,


It's a lot easier playing the game in your living room


In glen lawn than being a contestant


In a big studio in burbank.


Oh, please. You heard what the man said.


I was one of the best contestants


That ever tested for that show.


And as soon as they call me


And tell me I'm gonna be on the show, I'll show that to you.


Well, there's a big difference


When you're playing for real money under pressure.


"Under pressure" -- oh, please, miss thing.


That's when I'm at my best -- under pressure.


Honey, I never get rattled under pressure.


Why don't you ring?!


[ Chuckles ] pull yourself together. They'll call.


Just try to stay calm.


Oh, you're gonna pretend that you aren't nervous, huh?


I'm not nervous.


Well, why are you shaking?


I'm not shaking. You're shaking.


[ Telephone rings ]


That's them, girl. That's them.


Well, pick up the phone.


I can't. My hands are shaking.


Hello?


Oh, no, I'm sorry. Samantha isn't here.


Give me that phone.


Samantha ran away from home. Call back in two years.


Nell, that's a terrible thing to do.


Girl, I ain't got time to be taking no messages.


I got to leave this line open for burbank.


Any news yet?


Not yet.


What are you doing?


Calling simpson at the station.


Well, use the radio in your car.


Don't argue with her, chief.


She's in a state.


I don't know why. It's just a game show.


Ha, just a game show.


For your information, "wheel of fortune" is the game show.


You see, chief, one of the prizes is a trip to new york,


And nell has her heart set on winning it.


Why don't you ring? Don't just sit there.


Nell, you don't want any part of new york.


Two years ago, I went to a police chiefs convention there.


The chief I was sharing a room with


Went out for a newspaper and never came back.


If I was sharing a room with you,


I wouldn't come back, either.


I'm not kidding, nell. New york is a dangerous city.


[ Telephone rings ] that's them.


Hello?


No, katie's living with a man in mexico.


Are you crazy?


I don't have time. I told you I need this line open.


[ Telephone rings ] ain't nobody here!


Nell, is something wrong?


Nell?


Nell?


That was "wheel of fortune."


Operator, please get me nbc. Get me burbank.

Oh, it'll be a dream come true.


Well, if you know the answer, solve it.

The only reason I came to this show


Was so I could win that trip to new york city.


It looks like I'm actually gonna do this.


Yeah.

Nell, you're doing just great.

What are you gonna do?


I'm gonna solve it. I know the answer.


The answer is "give me liberty or give me a car."


[ Buzzer sounds ]


Oh, no, no. Nell, I'm sorry.


That's not right. But I just solved it.


No, you have to give us the exact quote, and that's not it.


I just said, "give me liberty or give me" -- oh.


Don't give it away.


We have to go to your best friend, addy.


It's your turn.


Yes!


You are not my best friend.


It's $ .


Way to go. Girl, you look good in that dress.


Okay, addy, pick a letter.

You have $ , . What do you want to do, addy?

The answer is "give me liberty or give me death."


That's it. Congratulations, addy wilson!


We won the trip to new york city!


We did it!


What do you mean, "we"?


I am truly sorry. We made a deal.


It's my trip.


You were the one who said,


"What you win is yours, and what I win is mine."


That was before I lost and you won.


Well, a deal's a deal,


Miss "give me liberty or give me a car."


Listen, miss.


The last thing I want to do


Is to be stuck in new york city with you, addy wilson.


All right, here they are!


[ Cheering ]


Nell's going to new york with addy.


I don't know where they got a crazy idea like that from.


Well, you phoned from los angeles,


Said addy was gonna take you to new york.


You did.


You can have the seat by the window on the plane.


Please?


I was gonna take you anyway, you fool.


Oh, addy, thank you.


Oh, this is gonna be the trip of our lives.


New york city -- ooh, the empire state building,


Park avenue, oh, broadway.


You know, there was once a time in my life


When all I wanted to do was to sing on broadway.


Nell, we bought you a little going-away present.


Ooh, a carryon.


Be perfect for my extra shoes.


Just what you asked us to get you when you phoned.


Katie we were gonna have it monogrammed,


But we didn't have time.


Besides, it was an extra $ . .


Addy, look.


My whole family's so thrilled about us going to new york.


Nell, you go to new york, you die.


Even the chief is thrilled.


What are you talking about, chief?


Crime -- something I've devoted my life to.



New york is not a safe place for a woman --


Especially if she's attractive.


Thank you. Thank you.


Carl, stop trying to scare them, huh?


I want them to face reality.


The last thing I want to do is scare them.


I just want to prepare them for the likelihood


That they could be mugged, assaulted,


Or terrorized by a homicidal maniac.


Uh, carl. Yeah?


Give you a piece of advice -- shut up.


I heard that everyone in new york


Has been shot at least once.


Well, it's not that bad.


But it's in the ballpark.


Soon as I found out that you were going,


I got these statistics about new york from the police wire.


I mean, I could show you things here that -- that -- that --


Ohh!


You don't want to see these.


You know what the chief is trying to do, addy?


He's trying to frighten us into not going to new york.


Honey, want to buy a nice little carryon?


Come on, nell.


We may never get another chance to go to new york.


You're right.


Chief, dangerous or not,


Addy and I are going to new york city.


Wait, wait, wait. We're being silly, girl.


These people look pretty nice.


Ain't nobody gonna bother us.


Right.


Let's go pick up our luggage.


This way. This way.


That way. Okay.


There's our baggage.


Oh.


Ugh!


Addy, somebody stole my bag.


I don't believe it.


We only been in new york two minutes,


And already somebody swiped my bag.


I see who did it -- that crook over there.


Look, he's not gonna get away with this.


I'll call the cops.


No, addy, don't call no cops.


Ain't no cops here. You remember what the chief said.


Got to use the buddy system.


Look, this is the plan.


You distract him while I grab the bag, okay?


That's the plan? That's the plan.


I don't like the plan.


Just do what I tell you. I'll tell you what to do.


Do it. All right.


Got a light? Sure.


Got a cigarette?


Sure.


Oh, clumsy me.


Got another one?


You all right, lady?


Sure. I'm a pisces.


Suppose you want another light.


Please.


Ah.


Thank you.


Have a nice day.


How'd I do? How'd I do?


Get in the cab. Let's get out of here.


Driver, the beaumont hotel.


If you hurry, there's an extra cents in it for you.


There's an extra dollar in it for you.


There's an extra $ in it for you.


Well, we made it to the room.


Addy, we're in new york city.


We're actually in new york.


Ooh! [ Giggles ]


Why don't you see what kind of view we got?


Okay. Ooh.


Aah! Addy!


It's a peeping tom.


He's a window washer.


All window washers are peeping toms.


Come on, nell. See what our view is like.


They said we could see the empire state building from here.


Yeah?


Oh, nell, the soap smells wonderful.


There's a free shower cap in here!


Nell, there's even a comb.


Addy, come here quick! What?


I think I see the empire state building.


Where?


Get over here.


Get down here.


See? See? [ Gasps ]


Isn't it beautiful?


It's so majestic.


Why are we down here on the floor?


I don't know. It was your idea.


I mean, new york city is out there.


You're right, honey. Let's go.



Let's just start spreading the news.


The west coast kids have arrived.


Hit it.


Both hey. Hey.


I ain't scared of new york.


Hey, girl, come on.


Wait, wait, listen.


"Warning -- we advise guests for their security


"That they keep their door locked, double locked,


And chained at all times."


Well, now that we got it locked, how do we get out of here?


[ Horn honks ]


I don't believe it. This is the real thing.


We are in new york on broadway.


Oh, addy, I have always wanted to sing on broadway.


Look!


Addy, there's a band playing there.


I'm gonna go down here and get the theater tickets we wanted.


No, come on, let's just hear the band.


I don't want to hear a band. I want to hear the band.


Then why don't you just go over there and join them?


You always said you wanted to sing on broadway.


Very funny.


I'll meet you back here.

Nell, it's raining!


Honey, I don't care if it pours. I want to see everything.


Hey, where do you want to go next?


Oh, I don't know.


Maybe we should ask somebody.


Oh, excuse me, sir.


Yes, ladies.


Are you an out-of-towner? No, I live here.


Well, we are out-of-towners,


And what should we go and see while we're here in new york?


Ladies, you're now in the big apple.


If you like to walk, as I do,


The best place to walk is along fifth avenue.


You walk up to central park.


You'd stop at the metropolitan museum of art,


Maybe stroll over to the guggenheim.


Walk through the central park zoo.


And you ought to know this is the greatest,


Most thrilling city in the whole world --


Uptown, downtown, east side, west side,


All around the town.


And at the end of the trip,


Don't forget to have a hot pastrami on rye.


You know, the way you talk about new york,


You sound like the mayor.


Some people even say I look like him.


Hiya, mayor koch!


See what I mean? Wait, I'll walk with you.


How am I doing? No!


Excuse, miss, was that really the mayor of new york?


Yes, but I don't want to get involved.


Hot pastrami? Let's go.


Okay, nell, where do you want to go today?


I don't know. What do you want to do?


Well, I know this sounds corny,


But I've always wanted to see general grant's tomb.


That doesn't sound corny. I'd love to see grant's tomb.


You think we could get a hot pastrami sandwich there?


Addy, we're in new york city.


We can probably get a hot pastrami sandwich


In st. Patrick's cathedral.


Who you writing to?


My mama.


I'm telling her that I finally sang on broadway


And I'm sending her that quarter that you gave me.


That's sweet. No, it ain't.


When I left home, she said,


"With a voice like yours, you'll never make a dime."


Come on, nell.


We don't want to keep general grant waiting.


You know how those yankees are.


Okay, darling.


Oh, wait a minute.


After yesterday, don't you think we ought to take an umbrella?


Yeah, I got one in my case.



Say, after general grant's tomb,


Do you think we could go to greenwich village


And see some live people?


Oh, boy, I got the umbrella here with my extra shoes.


It --


Addy, why would the chief pack a g*n in here


With my boxer shorts?


A g*n?


Yeah...


Right next to that big cellophane bag


With all that white powder in it.


A g*n?


White powder?


Nell, I don't think this is your bag.


No, addy.


That's the bag I took from the man at the airport.


Nell, I think that man is a drug dealer.


Ooh, addy, he could k*ll us for this.


Well, thanks heavens he doesn't know what hotel we're in.


You really think so?


Hey, it's a big city. He'll never find us.


Yeah. You're right.


[ Telephone rings ]


I'll get that.


Hello, nell harper speaking.


Hello?


Hello?


Hey, addy, you know that man that you said


Would never find out which hotel we're in?


Yeah.


I think he knows which hotel we're in.
