One from the Heart

I wish I had a dollar for

Each time I took a chance

On all those two-bit Romeos

Who counterfeit romance

Somehow always thinking of

The last time I fell down

Knowing that you'll fall in love

Once upon

A town

Down through the ages

All of the sages

Said don't spend your wages on love

There's graft and collusion

Avoid the intrusion

And preceding foreclosures

There's overexposure

Down at the crossroads

A question is posed

The bridge is washed out and the highway's closed

Got a good reason

Firmly believe

Love was designed to exploit and deceive

And there's an addendum

Whenever you send them

That red ball that beats in your chest

You will see

It's simple addition

It keeps with tradition

Don't spend your wages on love

Take any burg, any city or town

Just get on Main Street and drive all the way down

You see, love has a graveyard

An orchard for those

That fell on their sabres

And paid through the nose

Your shovel's a shot glass

Dig your own hole

Bury what's left of your miserable soul

Down through the ages

All of the sages

- Said don't spend your wages on love - Don't spend your wages on love

There's graft and collusion

Avoid the intrusion

And preceding foreclosure

There's overexposure

- Down at the crossroads - Down at the crossroads

A question is posed

The bridge is washed out

And the highway's closed

The traffic. The crowds. The noise.

Get out of Las Vegas and come to paradise.

Discover Bora-Bora. Discover Tahiti. Our tour prices have not gone up.

Your dollar is still worth a dollar. We fly seven days a week. Tranquillity.

Tropical paradise.

We have another winner!

Here comes the bride

And there goes the groom

Looks like a hurricane went through this room

Smells like a pool hall

- Where's my other shoe - Go away. Shoo!

And I'm sick and tired of pickin' up after you

Looks like you spent the night in a trench

And tell me

How long have you been combing your hair with a wrench?

What is this?

- The roses are dead - That's great, Frannie.

And the violets are too

And I'm sick and tired of pickin' up after you

- Anybody home? Oh, Frannie? - I've told you before

I won't tell you again

You don't defrost the icebox with a ballpoint pen

This railroad apartment

Is held together with glue

And I'm sick and tired of pickin' up after you

Oh, Jesus! You scared me!

Hello.

Hello?

Hello?

Damn hang-up.

- Hmm. - Hmm!

- Mm-hm. - Mm-hm.

- I wonder who that was. - One of your boyfriends.

- Probably one of your girlfriends. - Oh, sure.

- Hmm. - Sure.

You never know.

You never do.

You know what tomorrow is, Frannie?

Mm-hmm.

It's the Fourth of July. The day we met.

- Five years ago. - Hmm.

And I thought you deserved a present.

- This is for us. - Oh, you sweetie.

- Hey, I got us a present too. - You did?

- Yeah. - Oh.

Happy anniversary, Frannie. I love you, baby.

- I love you too. Open your present. - Open your present.

- You go first. Go ahead. - Yeah?

- Yeah. - What is this? What did you get?

It's a surprise.

Two tickets to Bora-Bora.

- Bora-Bora? - That's right.

Just you and me on the beach.

A little sex. A little surfing. A little sand in our toes.

Sex and surfing. I got my sea and ski.

Go on. See what that is. Open that up.

- I got a deed. - Yeah.

- I got a deed! The deed to a house. - The deed to this house.

I bought Moe's share.

- Are you kidding? - Tricked him.

- No. I bought his share. - This is the deed to this house?

- Yeah. It's ours. - Great.

- This house? - Yeah.

That's good. Hank, this house is a fixer-upper.

It's not... It's the house that you fix up and sell.

Hey, it's got a lot of possibilities. What are you talkin' about?

- I don't know. - It's a great house, Frannie.

- Yeah? - You'll love it.

Really. We'll fix it up and have a place of our own, you know?

Okay.

Sure.

Then... Then we can go anyplace.

Anyplace you wanna go.

- I am Tandaleo. - Tandaleo?

Who are you, pagan slave?

- On your knees. - How about a dance, Tandaleo?

- I won't dance, don't ask me - Dance, my child.

- You're gonna love the South Seas. - Nice ankles.

Look, it's a great idea, but we can't afford it right now.

Because I know I've been swindled

I never bargained for this

And what's more you never cared about me

Why don't you get your own place?

So you can live like you do

And I'm sick and tired of pickin' up after you

Hi, Hildie. Nice evening.

Take all your relatives

And all of your shoes

Believe me I'll really swing when you're gone

I'll be livin' on chicken and wine

After we're through

With someone I'll pick up after you

- What are you doing? - I'm cooking.

Special anniversary dinner.

- What are you so dressed up for? - I thought you said we were going out.

Hank, let's not fight.

What are you talking about? I love you.

Honey, let's just promise...

to never ever fight ever again, okay?

You promise?

I promise.

Seal it with a kiss.

I can clearly see nothing is clear

I keep falling apart every year

Let's take a hammer to it

- There's no glamour in it - Wait a second. I'll be right back.

- Is there any way out of this dream? - Why don't you forget it this time?

- Maybe we'll have a kid. - I'm as blue

- We're not even married. - As I can possibly be

Is there someone else out there for me?

Summer

Is dragging its feet

I feel so incomplete

Is there any way out of this dream?

Summer

Is dragging its feet

I feel so incomplete

Is there any way out

Of this dream?

What is it gonna be?

The window?

It's gonna be Bora-Bora.

You know, in the South Pacific. It's an island.

Bora-Bora doesn't look like that.

It doesn't, huh?

Not at all. That's not the colour of the sky.

- You've been there? - Many times.

- You have? - Yeah. The sky's a different blue.

I've been to Tahiti, Bora-Bora, Pago Pago.

It's a different colour. Don't you think?

I don't know. I mean, I've never been there myself.

I just make the window. From pictures.

You know, every time I walk by here

I look at your window and I say to myself,

"What am I doing in this place? Why am I not there?"

That's funny, 'cause that's what I think when I make the windows.

I should be there doing the hula.

You know, I see you all the time.

You do?

Yeah. I work right up the street playing the piano.

You play the piano?

Oh, that's great.

I sing too.

That's nice.

Would you like to come hear me sing tonight?

Me?

Uh...

- Maggie, you see this guy? - No, I'm blind.

Gorgeous but dangerous.

- Oh... Hi. - I'm on at ten, then at twelve.

I can leave your name at the door. What's your name?
