Rodgers: No signs of struggle, no drugs, no alcohol.
The nice thing about a neighborhood is everybody knows everything about everybody else.

Lennie: The deal hasn't started yet.
Shrunk
This could run longer than his last show.
Lennie: I know where he got the title -- put it this way, his piano stool's missing a leg.
Ed: Well, that was money well spent.
Lennie: Twice a week, I'd get on the couch and tell him how the head of the orphanage used to get a kick out of beating me with his shoe.
