Contemplation in a Casual Conversation
Charlie Hey, DiNoble, what are you doin'?
Tony Thinkin'.
Charlie Thinkin of what?
Tony Clean thoughts.
Charlie Then how come my dishes are dirty?
Tony Dirty?
Charlie Dirty.
Tony Well, them poor dumb little bastards. They never learned the power of positive thought.
Charlie I thought you said you was a dishwasher.
Tony I'm a dishwasher. I'm a dishwasher. My hands is permanently puckered! But you know what? The thrill is gone. Hey, that's what happen when you turn pro. Even that first batch of suds, that first spreading of Palmolive over troubled waters, that first plunge through the foam, that first hopeful fish for a dish-it is gone, Charlie! It is gone. And I think it's time, that I'm movin on.
[shouts to the sky; turns; starts walking away]
Charlie Where? Where you gonna go?
Charlie And what the hell you need elbow room for?
Tony I'm thinking of taking up the accordion.
Charlie Hey, you're not going to make it in this business, Tony. You can't sing, you play guitar like a duck!
Tony That's cause my hands is permanently puckered!
Charlie And anyway, this is California! There ain't no further west to go!
