Quote context

[...]

- Is this the Kramden residence?

- Why don't you shut up?

- Hey, what happened to the new maid you hired yesterday?

- She quit after I fired her.

- Fired her?

- Yes.

- That's the fourth maid this week.

- The fourth? I only remember three.

- Oh, you didn't see one of them. She didn't even put on a uniform. She just walked in the bedroom, saw a mop, got scared and ran out of here.

- Why don't you get another maid?

- They won't send any more up here. They're all afraid of working.

- Well, all I know is, I can't make Alice quit her job, I can't get a maid and I gotta break my back cleaning up this house on my day off.

- Well, if that's the way it is, I think I'll go. I got an early date at the pool hall.

- Wanna do me a favor, pal? I'm never gonna get all this work done. Not before Alice gets home. Would you mind helping me out with a little of it?

- Why, I would be glad to, buddy boy, pal of mine.

- You are a friend indeed.

- However, there will be a small charge of a buck an hour.

- You would charge me a dollar an hour?

- That's right. A buck an hour. And I don't do no dishes, that's the ladies' work.
