Oscar Madison:
I'm $800 behind in alimony. Let's raise the stakes.
Roy:
They can do it, you know.
Oscar Madison:
Do what?
Roy:
Throw you in jail.
Oscar Madison:
Never. If she can't call me up once a week to aggravate me, she's not happy.
Murray the Cop:
Aren't you worried about the kids?
Oscar Madison:
Murray, the kids are living in their grandfather's house with a swimming pool in California. Can we just play cards?
Roy:
I told you you'd get into trouble. It's because you don't know how manage anything. I should know - I'm your accountant.
Oscar Madison:
If you're my accountant, how come I need money?
Roy:
If you need money, how come you play poker?
Oscar Madison:
'Cause I need money.
Roy:
But you always lose.
Oscar Madison:
That's why I need the money.
Roy:
Then don't play poker.
Oscar Madison:
Then don't come to my house and eat my potato chips.
Oscar Madison:
You see, wise guy? Potato chips!
Murray the Cop:
Oh, beautiful, beautiful.
Murray the Cop:
What are you yelling about? We're playing a friendly game!
Murray the Cop:
All right, all right, ALL RIGHT! Calm down, calm down, take it easy. I'm a cop, you know - I can arrest the whole lousy game.
Oscar Madison:
My friend Murray the cop is right. Let's just play cards and please hold them up. I can't see where I marked them.
Roy:
He owes money to his wife, his government and his friends and he still won't take it seriously.
Oscar Madison:
Life goes on even for those of us who are divorced, broke and sloppy.
