with the key of imagination.Copy !req
3. Beyond it is another dimension-Copy !req
4. a dimension of sound...Copy !req
5. a dimension of sight...Copy !req
6. a dimension of mind.Copy !req
7. You're moving into a land
of both shadow and substance,Copy !req
8. of things and ideas.Copy !req
9. You've just crossed over
into the twilight zone.Copy !req
10. You think
about that now.Copy !req
11. You cannot run
a businessCopy !req
12. by standing still
in a rut.Copy !req
13. A business has
got to progress.Copy !req
14. You got to keep pushing
and punching and proddingCopy !req
15. until it gets diversified.Copy !req
16. That's the word,
that's the key.Copy !req
17. Coffee time.Copy !req
18. A business must be diversified.Copy !req
19. I was just telling them, fred.Copy !req
20. You cannot run a business
by standing still in a rut.Copy !req
21. Just as variety
is the spice of life,Copy !req
22. diversification is the key
to success in business.Copy !req
23. Now, you think
about that now.Copy !req
24. Well, I got
coffee with cream,Copy !req
25. cream and sugar,
sugar by itself,Copy !req
26. cream by itself
and plain black,Copy !req
27. so I'm already
diversified.Copy !req
28. Now would you please
get out of the way, mcnulty?Copy !req
29. Mcnulty.Copy !req
30. Mcnulty here.Copy !req
31. Mr. Cooper would like
to see you.Copy !req
32. Hear that?
Did you hear that?Copy !req
33. Mr. Cooper would like
to see mcnulty.Copy !req
34. And do you know why mr. Cooper
would like to see mcnulty?Copy !req
35. Because I have
been feeding suggestionsCopy !req
36. into that suggestion box
for 11 months now.Copy !req
37. Did I say
suggestions?Copy !req
38. Wrong word.Copy !req
39. Suggestions,
any clod can make.Copy !req
40. But dynamic blueprints
for the future,Copy !req
41. only mcnulty can make.Copy !req
42. You think about that now.Copy !req
43. He's waiting, mcnulty.Copy !req
44. 11 months of
suggestionsCopy !req
45. about to pay off.Copy !req
46. Say, you wouldn't
be interestedCopy !req
47. in having dinner,
would you?Copy !req
48. If I was
starving to deathCopy !req
49. and you were the
last man on earthCopy !req
50. and it meant
my survival,
I might be,Copy !req
51. but I'm not,
you're not,Copy !req
52. and it doesn't,
so drift, mcnulty.Copy !req
53. Submitted for your approval
or at least your analysis:Copy !req
54. One patrick thomas mcnulty,Copy !req
55. who at age 41
is the biggest bore on earth.Copy !req
56. He holds a ten-year recordCopy !req
57. for the most meaningless wordsCopy !req
58. spewed out
during a coffee break.Copy !req
59. And it's very likely that,
as of this moment,Copy !req
60. he would have gone through life
in precisely this manner,Copy !req
61. a dull, argumentative bigmouthCopy !req
62. who sets back the art of
conversation a thousand years.Copy !req
63. I say he very likely would have,Copy !req
64. except for something
that will soon happen to him,Copy !req
65. something that will considerably
alter his existence... and ours.Copy !req
66. Now, you think about that now,Copy !req
67. because this is
the twilight zone.Copy !req
68. Mr. Mcnulty, do you know
what I've been doing?Copy !req
69. Yes, sir, mr. Cooper,Copy !req
70. you've been going through
the suggestion box.Copy !req
71. I knew you would.
I've been expecting it.Copy !req
72. It takes a special
kind of employer to realizeCopy !req
73. that one of his men
has got it.Copy !req
74. Obviously mcnulty
has got it.Copy !req
75. Truer words, mr. Mcnulty,
have probablyCopy !req
76. never been spoken
here or elsewhere.Copy !req
77. Thank you, sir.Copy !req
78. Yes, I've just gone
through the residueCopy !req
79. of the suggestion boxCopy !req
80. covering the past
three-month period.Copy !req
81. And here is
one of your
suggestionsCopy !req
82. dated
march 13th.Copy !req
83. "Make hot dogs flat
so that they canCopy !req
84. fit easily into
a hamburger bun."Copy !req
85. How about that?Copy !req
86. You think
about that now.Copy !req
87. "Make tin cans
squareCopy !req
88. "so they can be
stacked togetherCopy !req
89. more easily in
garbage cans."Copy !req
90. Isn't that a gas?Copy !req
91. "Put small pontoons
in soldiers' field packsCopy !req
92. "so that when
they cross riversCopy !req
93. they can get across
by themselves."Copy !req
94. That one is worth
a million bucks.Copy !req
95. The soldiers go
into the water...Copy !req
96. mr. Mcnulty, cooper
corporation makesCopy !req
97. ladies foundation
garments.Copy !req
98. It doesn't have anything to do
with hamburgers, hot dogs,Copy !req
99. tin cans or
national defense.Copy !req
100. And not one of
your 340 suggestions-Copy !req
101. I repeat, not one of them-
has anything remotely to doCopy !req
102. with this company's product.Copy !req
103. Exactly why I want
to talk to you, mr. Cooper.Copy !req
104. The key to a successful, modern
business is diversification.Copy !req
105. You think about that now.Copy !req
106. I have thought about it-
you're fired!Copy !req
107. Baseball?
Baseball is nothing.Copy !req
108. Soccer is the fastest
sport in the world.Copy !req
109. In baseball,
they change sides,Copy !req
110. back and forth,
inning after inning.Copy !req
111. The whole first period in
soccer, they run, run, run.Copy !req
112. England, france, spain,
south america.Copy !req
113. Soccer is the fastest sport
in the world.Copy !req
114. You think about that now.Copy !req
115. Hey, joe,
you know those swinging doorsCopy !req
116. they got in western saloons-Copy !req
117. why don't you
put them in hereCopy !req
118. and then you can call this
palucci's western saloon.Copy !req
119. How about that?Copy !req
120. Yeah, how
about that?Copy !req
121. I'll have it done
in the morning.Copy !req
122. Great! When I come in
I can think, "I did this."Copy !req
123. How about that now?Copy !req
124. Please,
the ball game.Copy !req
125. Home-run hitters
mean nothing.Copy !req
126. Come on, fella.Copy !req
127. We're trying
to watch.Copy !req
128. As to the average
long-ball hitterCopy !req
129. compared to a
consistent clutch hitterCopy !req
130. with a good average,Copy !req
131. I'll take the latter
every time.Copy !req
132. Well, that's
very nice of you.Copy !req
133. Well, it's a fact.
It's an absolute fact.Copy !req
134. Oh, boy, here
we go again.Copy !req
135. At no time has
a home-run hitterCopy !req
136. led the league
in batting.Copy !req
137. Yeah?Copy !req
138. Ted williams won
the batting championshipCopy !req
139. and led the league in home runs
in 1941, '42 and '47.Copy !req
140. Exception
to the rule.Copy !req
141. Think about that.Copy !req
142. The exception
to the rule.Copy !req
143. You know something.Copy !req
144. There's a ten-inch
television setCopy !req
145. in my sister's apartment,
kind that dates back to 1948.Copy !req
146. She's got five kids.Copy !req
147. The apartment's
a six-floor walkup,Copy !req
148. and it's boiling hot.Copy !req
149. But I'll tell you-Copy !req
150. there's one thing that
apartment don't haveCopy !req
151. that makes it
all worthwhile.Copy !req
152. It don't have mcnulty.Copy !req
153. Charlie,
charlie, wait.
Forget it, joe.Copy !req
154. Shut it off.
Blabbermouth-
I can't take it.Copy !req
155. Ah, you think about.
Hear what I said?Copy !req
156. The exception to the rule.Copy !req
157. The exception
to the rule.Copy !req
158. Let me ask you
something, mcnulty.Copy !req
159. How come you're
in here so early?Copy !req
160. You've been there for
three and a half hours.Copy !req
161. It so happens
I quit my job.Copy !req
162. I went into cooper's office
and I read him off.Copy !req
163. Don't tell me.Copy !req
164. You got canned.Copy !req
165. Well, in a manner
of speaking.Copy !req
166. You might say... yeah.Copy !req
167. We mutually agreedCopy !req
168. I wouldn't work
there anymore.Copy !req
169. Joe, tell me something.Copy !req
170. Wouldn't you think
that after one yearCopy !req
171. of putting ideas
in that suggestion box,Copy !req
172. after one whole year,
that I'd get noticed?Copy !req
173. Let me tell
you something.Copy !req
174. Getting noticed
and getting likedCopy !req
175. are two different things.Copy !req
176. What do you know?Copy !req
177. Nothing, mcnulty.Copy !req
178. Not a thing.Copy !req
179. Good night, joe.Copy !req
180. Wait a minute.Copy !req
181. All I know isCopy !req
182. that every night of
every week of every month,Copy !req
183. except election day,
you come in hereCopy !req
184. drive everybody
out of their skullCopy !req
185. walking on
your lower lip.Copy !req
186. Now, you think
about that.Copy !req
187. Will you think
about that?Copy !req
188. What do you say?Copy !req
189. I say...Copy !req
190. "54, 40 or fight."Copy !req
191. I also say "damn the torpedoes,
full speed ahead!"Copy !req
192. And on occasion, I will say,Copy !req
193. "it takes a heap of living
to make a house a home."Copy !req
194. Want another beer?Copy !req
195. Thank you very much.Copy !req
196. I would appreciate
another.Copy !req
197. Two more beers,
bartender.Copy !req
198. Two beers, big deal.Copy !req
199. What's your name?Copy !req
200. Potts.Copy !req
201. That's not
a bad name.Copy !req
202. I was born with it.Copy !req
203. Seems to me there
was a third basemanCopy !req
204. who used to play for
the phillies named potts.Copy !req
205. Lou potts? Phil potts?Copy !req
206. It couldn't be botts?Copy !req
207. No, it's potts.Copy !req
208. Two beers.Copy !req
209. You paying
for this, mcnulty?Copy !req
210. Because this guy just
gave me his last dime.Copy !req
211. This guy is my
friend, mr. Botts.Copy !req
212. Potts!Copy !req
213. And I'd appreciateCopy !req
214. a little respect
from you.Copy !req
215. I bet you would.Copy !req
216. You getting
respect from meCopy !req
217. is about as easy as
flagging down a cabCopy !req
218. on 46th and broadway
at 8:00 on new year's eve...Copy !req
219. in the rain.Copy !req
220. Never mind-

for you.Copy !req
230. It's a gift.Copy !req
231. A small remembrance
of our friendship.Copy !req
232. What is it?Copy !req
233. It's a stopwatch-
a old family heirloom.Copy !req
234. What do you
do with it?Copy !req
235. I mean, it doesn't
keep time.Copy !req
236. It's just a stopwatch.Copy !req
237. That is a fact.Copy !req
238. But it is yours.Copy !req
239. You may have it.Copy !req
240. What'll I do
with it? Stopwatch.Copy !req
241. Well, someday you might
own a racehorseCopy !req
242. or you might want
to run the mileCopy !req
243. or launch an astronaut.Copy !req
244. Well, good-bye, old pal.Copy !req
245. Oh...Copy !req
246. e pluribus unum.Copy !req

249. nice clientele.Copy !req
250. Your friend.Copy !req
251. I wouldn't listen
to my mother.Copy !req
252. She wanted me
to be a doctor.Copy !req
253. No, I had to
be a wiseguy.Copy !req
254. Had to run a beer
joint like this.Copy !req
255. Well, you live
and you learn.Copy !req
256. Done for the
night, mcnulty?Copy !req
257. Everybody's gone,
you happy?Copy !req
258. You bored ten
people to death.Copy !req
259. You emptied my placeCopy !req
260. like it had
a smallpox sign out there.Copy !req
261. Do me a favor-Copy !req
262. whenever you get the thirst,
go to some other bar.Copy !req
263. I don't feel much
like going home.Copy !req
264. I've seen the movie
onthe late show.Copy !req
265. I've even seen the movie
onthe late, late show.Copy !req
266. Sometimes I even wish
I was married.Copy !req
267. Do you ever get that feeling?Copy !req
268. Joe?Copy !req
269. Joe.Copy !req
270. Hey, why you
standing that way?Copy !req
271. Hey, joe,

273. I was telling you

gave me this watchCopy !req
275. and I pushed it.Copy !req
276. Another
thing-Copy !req
277. you make me
nervous.Copy !req
278. First, you bore people to death
and then you make me nervous.Copy !req
279. I make you nervous?Copy !req
280. You know something?Copy !req
281. You're the one guy
that makes me wishCopy !req
282. they never

284. And another thing,
mcnulty.Copy !req
285. Mcnulty?Copy !req
286. I'm over here.Copy !req
287. That can't be.Copy !req
288. I had too much to drink.Copy !req
289. I need some sleep.Copy !req
290. It can't be.Copy !req
291. It works.Copy !req
292. I push the button, I stop

293. Good morning, wage slaves.Copy !req
294. Make way for a free man.Copy !req
295. Good morning, doll.Copy !req
296. Oh, what's the
suggestion this
time, mcnulty?Copy !req
297. If you don't have one,
I've got one for you.Copy !req
298. Why don't you jump off a bridge?Copy !req
299. Honey doll,
I have a productCopy !req
300. that is going to put a dent
in your eyeballs.Copy !req
301. What would you say
to a stopwatchCopy !req
302. that, when somebody
pushes it,Copy !req
303. everything stops
in midair, hmm?Copy !req
304. Why don't you run away
and get lost, mcnulty,Copy !req
305. or get to the point.Copy !req
306. I already have.Copy !req
307. Last night,
I'm in joe palucci's bar,Copy !req
308. we're sitting around
talking about this and that,Copy !req
309. when this funny gleep
gives me this stopwatch.Copy !req
310. Without thinking,
I push this button-Copy !req
311. this one right here-Copy !req
312. and everything stops dead.
Everything.Copy !req
313. Think about
that now.Copy !req
314. Palucci drops a glass,Copy !req

but the glass stops.Copy !req
316. Everything stops.Copy !req

330. He barged right in.Copy !req
331. I couldn't do
anything about it.Copy !req
332. Well, he can
barge right out.Copy !req
333. Listen, coop...
coop?Copy !req
334. You can't afford to fire me
this time because this timeCopy !req
335. I've got more than suggestions,
I've got the goods.Copy !req
336. You think
about this now.Copy !req
337. You figure out
how this stopwatch works,Copy !req
338. and you've got a million bucks.Copy !req
339. Mcnulty, let me remind you-Copy !req
340. we make ladies foundation
garments, nothing else.Copy !req
341. Now, do you hear me?Copy !req
342. Nothing else.Copy !req
343. So I will give you 15 seconds

346. I'll buy my
own coffee.Copy !req
347. If you're not out
of this officeCopy !req
348. in one minute, I'll
call the police.Copy !req
349. Is that so, honey baby?Copy !req
350. It'll take more
than the police.Copy !req
351. You'll need the army
and the navy.Copy !req
352. How about that crumb?Copy !req
353. He didn't even
let me show him.Copy !req
354. So what
am I waiting for?Copy !req
355. I'll just show him.Copy !req
356. Operator, get me...Copy !req
357. kitchie-kitchie-coo.Copy !req
358. Kitchie-kitchie-cooper.Copy !req
359. It's good for a laugh
but there must beCopy !req
360. something else I can
do with this thing.Copy !req
361. I'll think about it.Copy !req
362. the police.Copy !req
363. Uh... never mind, operator.Copy !req
364. He's gone.Copy !req
365. So you tell our
advertising agents...Copy !req
366. hey, joe.
Palucci, all you guys.Copy !req
367. Have I got something
to show you.Copy !req
368. Well, that takes
care of the game.Copy !req
369. This thing is so great
you're not going to believe it.Copy !req
370. Mcnulty, make it quick, huh?Copy !req
371. Oh, now, listen,
you just pay attention.Copy !req
372. Pay attention.Copy !req
373. With this little gizmo,Copy !req
374. I can stop trains, tanks,
subways, anything.Copy !req
375. What about your mouth?Copy !req
376. Funny. Funny.Copy !req
377. Listen, last night,
I was at the polo grounds.Copy !req
378. And right in the middleCopy !req
379. of ron hunt's slide
into second base,Copy !req
380. I stopped the game.Copy !req
381. Yeah,
I stopped the game.Copy !req
382. I left my seat,
I ran down on the field,Copy !req
383. I grabbed second base,
and I moved it ten feet.Copy !req
384. Come on.Copy !req
385. Then I went back up
into the stands,Copy !req
386. sat down
and started the game again.Copy !req
387. And hunt, instead of being out
by ten feet, was safe,Copy !req
388. and the mets went on
to win the gameCopy !req
389. because snider doubled him home.Copy !req
390. And that's not the only thing
I can stop with this watch.Copy !req
391. I can stop anything- watch.Copy !req
392. Well?Copy !req
393. Well, how about that now?Copy !req
394. How about what?Copy !req
395. Are you kidding?Copy !req
396. Didn't you see what I did?Copy !req
397. Oh, come on, mcnulty,

405. You drive more guys
out of saloonsCopy !req
406. than carry nation.Copy !req
407. I get it.
I get it.Copy !req
408. Of course you guys didn't see-
you were frozen.Copy !req
409. I'm the only one who knows.Copy !req
410. I'm the only one.Copy !req
411. Huh. How about that.Copy !req
412. The greatest conversation piece
in the world- the greatest-Copy !req
413. and what does it do?Copy !req
414. It stops conversation.Copy !req
415. I'm closing up in a few minutes,Copy !req
416. so it shouldn't be a total loss,
you better order up.Copy !req
417. Beer.Copy !req
418. Beer!Copy !req
419. Don't you ever order
anything expensive?Copy !req
420. Beer.Copy !req
421. And drink it fast,
will you?Copy !req
422. 'Cause the combination
of you, the hot weather,Copy !req
423. and my business
recessionCopy !req
424. is more than I can
take in one day.Copy !req
425. Give it time.
Give it time.Copy !req
426. Give me a heart attack
sometime, will you, mcnulty?Copy !req
427. Leave a tip.Copy !req
428. Hey, palucci, come here.Copy !req
429. Look at me.Copy !req
430. What are you, some
kind of a sadist?Copy !req
431. You know what
you're looking at?Copy !req
