Premier homme : I got little in this world. I give honesty without regret. One hundred dollars for that picture. I remember taking a picture with...

 

Première femme : Ooh! Let me show you. Let me show you our picture. This was me and my husband when we were first married.

 

Deuxième femme : I always slept on one side, left room for my husband.

 

Première femme : And that's me when we were sixteen.

 

Deuxième femme : But this, this, this, this is not the case. I still do it. I still lay on the half of the bed. (pause) We used to sneak in...

 

Deuxième homme : Still haven't seen the doctor I was seein'; there's been blood for the last, eh, forty-eight hours, and I can't get up the mucus for the last, eh, two, three months... oh yes, and I maintain, I maintain strongly, to this minute, I don't think it's an ordinary cold.

 

Troisième femme : God forgive me, but an old person without money is pathetic.

 

Quatrième femme : Children, and mothers, that's the way we have it. A mother-- they are ... [mumbling].

 

Cinquième femme : 'Cause mothers do too much.

 

Quatrième femme : That is mother's life, to live for your child. (pause) Yes, my dear.

 

Troisième homme : I couldn't get younger. I have to be an old man. That's all. Well...

 

Sixième femme : Are you happy here, honey? Are you happy living with us?

 

Troisième homme : So anytime I walk with Lou and... that's all.

 

Sixième femme : Mr. Singer? Are you happy living with us here?

 

Septième femme : But we don't do that, dear.

 

Woman 6: But are you happy?

 

Woman 7: If you mean, if, if you could say, yes, and I thought, and I was so happy, and everybody, "What is this? What is it?"

 

Woman 8: It just is, beautiful. Like, just a room. Your own room, in your own home.
