life ends at midnight. Hi, I'm Hal. You still remember my wish, huh?

I don't know when I'll turn up, am I? Stand out in a hall? No, come in. Come in, Johnny. Same old crummy joint. Well, I do my best to keep it clean. Yeah, yeah, I know. Oh boy, my giant.

Up all night, the stinking coach full of snoring jerks and squalling babies. Babies are the worst, all they do is ball and slobber. You left Pittsburgh last night? Yeah, one in the morning. I sleep a wink all night.

Look at my collar, but tomorrow is Monday and and you have to be at work in the morning. What's the matter? You worry? Well, no, no, I just... Don't judge. Can a guy come home to see his mother once in six months?

What's a mother for? You break your back set up all night to see your mother for one day and she tells you you got to be at work in the morning. I feel like that.

Oh, I'm sorry, dear, but I just worried about... I know, my, I know it. Don't worry so much. That makes me nervous. Well, here. Sit at the table, dear. You must be starved. Yeah. Ah, that's like coming home.

Oh, my baby. I'm so glad to see you. You did come just to see me, didn't you? I sure. What do you think? Marilyn Monroe? Of course she came to see me. It's just that I always worry so how about you my name?
