Taxi - Season 2 Edit

A bunch of adults fighting over a candy bar.

A car. Ah.

A girl who can keep up with me.

A little something.

A pharmacist? Mm hmm.

A...

A...

A... yellow...

Aah, come on.

Abi deebo subo flee.

Abi deebo suboflee.

Abi deebo suboflee.

About doing something with your life?

About five ten?

About how I felt about him and me.

About things that happened

After all, you are kind of responsible.

After he left, we were on lousy welfare,

After the draft ended, I lost my flock.

Ah, okay, I will take my things.

Ah... Hey, you really gave it to him good, huh, Tony?

Alex has this problem.

Alex never did talk much about his family.

Alex, Alex, I don't want you to leave with the wrong idea.

Alex, can I speak to you?

Alex, Dad is not a young man.

Alex, do you remember when we were kids

Alex, I thought at least you would be interested

Alex, I'm really sorry.

Alex, if you won't do it out of compassion

Alex, it's me against her.

Alex, what I'm trying to tell you

Alex, your father had...

Alex, your father may be dying.

ALEX: Hey, Elaine, would you leave him alone?

ALEX: Maybe he could start in another company

ALEX: Right.

Alex!

Alex?

Alex?

Alex? Alex? What?

Alex.

Alex...

Alex...

Alex... she used to run...

Alex... she's my first.

All I ended up with

All of them groovin' on Hendrix, Sly, Joni, and The Who.

All of us gathered together in peace and joy.

All right, all right, just stay where you are.

All right, all right.

All right, Ben... Ben...

All right, come on now, listen.

All right, here it is.

All right, if you'll excuse me now,

All right, listen up here, everybody!

All right, Louie, it's over.

All right, now remember our agreement:

All right, that would be Ben Geretski.

All right, we've been seeing each other for five weeks,

All right!

All right! Cut it out!

All right?

All right.

All right.

All right.

All right.

All right.

All right. I want...

All right. Let's talk.

All right. Mm.

All right. Phew!

Almost a year now.

Am I coming or going?

And about things that didn't happen.

And an envelope.

And besides, she's always shaking it in front of other guys.

And do you know what bothered you the most?

And finding him there with another woman!

And forgot to tell me.

And girls you had fun with

And go to sleep now, Ma.

And have a scene with him

And I end up in a place called, uh...

And I forgave him, and so did Mama.

And I go into the bar, and I tell everyone

And I like to be a little late

And I wanted to do something and you didn't want to do it,

And I was such a punk kid, I didn't even answer you.

And I'm going to go see how he's doing.

And I'm Mr. Tony Banta.

And I'm sure he'll go right over there.

And I've always left them happy.

And I've never tried to get in touch with you,

And lots of songs, and we all have a good time.

And now I'm supposed to go to the hospital

And so I feel like I owe you one,

And spend the rest of your life

And that they will.

And then they'll give you the test, okay?

And there was no mixing of the two.

And there were other times too.

And tourists wanted to find out where the women were,

And when we told you, you were very distraught.

And whenever possible, you joined them.

And you always make my life bad

And you always make my life bad

And you can meet Mr. Bobby Wheeler momentarily.

And you just marched right in there

And you kissed charlotte good night.

And you know, they make mistake.

And you make me feel stupid.

And you'll do fine.

And you're always calling me names

And your first envelope.

And, uh, being normal, healthy adults

And, uh, you know, once he breaks in...

And, uh... okay. Good night, Tony.

And, um, although it has been a very long time,

Any of this currency?

Are you a New Yorker, Miss Rieger?

Are you prepared for that?

Are you supposed to be up?

Aruskala. Thanks.

As a matter of fact, I have.

As soon as you check me out. Let's go!

As to why I didn't have time to change this morning

At least, we're going to try to go out to dinner.

Aw, come on.

Banta?

Because guys like me were over in 'Nam

Because I haven't got anything to say.

Because that's the kind of guy I am.

Because that's the kind of night this is.

Because you're always yelling at me

Before the ambulance came.

Believing that there was nice girls

Ben Geretski?

Ben... Ben Geretski?

Besides, it's not like our lives are in such great shape.

Bet you don't even notice how cute he is.

Bobby Wheeler.

Bobby, seniority, seniority...

BOBBY: Hey, look.

BOBBY: Let's do that.

Boogie down, Latka. Boogie down.

BOTH: * Now don't go away

Boy, do I feel stupid right now.

Boy, he's really something, isn't he?

Boy, if I wasn't so shy, I'd...

Boy, oh boy, I finally found

Boy, time flies.

Boy, you've gotten so old.

Break up with this lovely, warm person

But I can't even bring myself to kiss her.

But I did a lot of all the other stuff, too.

But I guess when you're burning

But I happen to like the guy.

But I know what to tell you.

But I take the wrong subway

But I try.

But I'll tell you one thing, Rieger,

But I'm afraid I just can't wait.

But I'm not going into that tool room

But I've lived with a lot of things

But if you don't go, and he dies,

But the doctor said he may come around.

But there's absolutely no...

But this is one of the great moments of my life.

But you got to understand my position.

But Zena and I had another one of those nights.

But, right now, I believe he's in the can.

By golly...

By what I'm about to say, but don't you ever feel

Cabdriver. Cabdriver. Cabdriver.

Call them brown.

Can you believe this?

Chanted...

Charlotte didn't force me to come here.

Charlotte, please don't beg. I'm begging!

Charlotte...

Cheap stamps.

Cheap, dirty stamps.

Come along.

Come here.

Come on, boys and girls, let's roll them out.

Come on, I'll introduce you

Come on, Louie, I want to get on the road.

Come on, Louie, let me get on the road here.

Come on, Zena.

Come on!

Coming home from school, when our mother was working,

Coming!

Define "father" for me, would you?

Determined and willful

Do I sound like Judy to you?

Do they serve beer over there?

Do what?

Do you expect Alex soon?

Do you know what I was thinking of on the way over here?

Do you remember what happened when Scheherazade passed away?

Does this look like

Does...

Doing your fighting for you.

Don't do that.

Don't shoot. I'll talk.

Don't you remember?

Donna Summer.

Drinks for everybody.

Dummy!

Eh, you know, in my country, we have a saying:

Eight months ago, Latka had to get married

Elaine, damn it, she's an adult. You don't lead people's lives.

Elaine, you want to take a stab at this one?

ELAINE: Go get them.

ELAINE: Hey, guys.

ELAINE: Hey, guys.

ELAINE: Oh, and this is Latka Gravas.

ELAINE: So how you doing, Jim?

Elaine! Through that door.

Especially an attractive lady like yourself.

Even if I didn't know what it was, I went with it.

Even though we haven't spoken in 30 years,

Everybody knows that when you were driving a cab

Everybody sing.

Everybody works on Moonlight Bay.

Everything that came along, I went with.

Everything.

Excuse me, Louie.

Excuse us, please.

Experiences with a woman like...

Fainting, or periods of loss of memory?"

Fine, fine.

Fine, fine.

First one is free. Then after I get you hooked...

Floating through meaningless affairs

For five weeks straight, you're going to have to pay the price.

For me.

For the past couple of years, Alex.

For the side of his truck.

Gee, thanks, Latka.

Gee, Zena, that's too bad.

Get him out of here.

Get him out.

Get out of here.

Get your mitts off my cup.

Get your own coffee.

Give me a little help on this one.

Give me three cards, all right?

Give this man a key. Okay.

Go away.

Go on.

Go slowly.

Goldbricking foreigner.

Good evening, everybody.

Good night.

Good, good.

Good, Lou.

Good.

Got to stay home, protest, and get loaded

Great advice.

Great! How much you want?

Half a million people.

Harlem?

Hatching out of seedpods.

Have made it better was you in it.

Have you got change for a dollar because...?

He a friend of yours?

He brought a date!

He didn't even come to her funeral!

He gave you a very special gift.

He had an entirely different relationship with you.

He kept ditching me.

He must take a lot of ribbing from you drivers.

He must've realized the risks he was taking.

He needed emotional support.

He said, "This is your aunt. Don't tell your mother."

He should be in momentarily.

He sure isn't.

He trips, falls down and knocks himself cold.

He was goosing me.

He was my father, too, you remember.

He was outside the cemetery gate.

He was there, Alex.

He was there.

He won't have to deal with Louie.

He wouldn't be coming to see me.

He's a flake.

He's driving me crazy.

He's going to be in no shape to drive tonight...

He's going to do it.

He's in the New York Hospital, and here's the room number.

He's my brother.

He's not asking anything from anybody.

He's not in a cage for nothing.

He's off today.

He's over at New York Hospital.

Hello, everybody.

Hello?

Hello.

Hello.

Hello.

Hello. Hi, everybody.

Hendy, 338!

Here we go.

Here, here, let me help you out, okay?

Here's that organic shampoo I was telling you about.

Here's the truth.

Hey, Alex, could I talk to you for a minute, alone?

Hey, Alex... Huh?

Hey, Bob... Hey, Bob...

Hey, come on, guys.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!

Hey, hey, hey, hey!

Hey, hey, hey, Tony.

Hey, hey, hey.

Hey, how you doing, buddy?

Hey, is it okay

Hey, Jeff?

Hey, Jim, if you can handle this,

Hey, listen, Louie, Louie, I'm ready to go,

Hey, Louie, they want you upstairs.

Hey, Louie?

Hey, Reverend Jim!

Hey, thanks, Tom. Oh, that's great.

Hey, Tom, another round.

Hey, Tommy, how about another glass, okay?

Hey, Tony

Hey, uh, Jim.

Hey, uh, Louie... Louie?

Hey, uh...

Hey, uh...

Hey, uh... you two don't even look alike.

Hey, what happened?

Hey, what was that?

Hey, would you guys...?

Hey, you know something?

Hey, you know, I'll tell you, I was worried for a minute.

Hey, you know, if I hadn't been there

Hey, Zena, how you doing?

Hey, Zena, how you doing? Oh, hi, Zena.

Hey, Zena, I'll introduce you to Louie.

Hey! Hey! Hey!

Hey. How...? Yeah?

Hey...

Hey... no. Everything I take is by doctor's prescription

Hi, Dad.

Hi, everybody!

Hi, gang!

Hi, I'm almost ready.

Hi.

Hi.

His condition is stabilized now.

His condition is the same; he's still unconscious

Hmm...

Hold on, I don't want you to get the wrong idea.

Hold that thought, Bobby, she's brought malted balls.

Holy crap!

Hoo! There's an exterminator who wants him to pose

Hope I haven't screwed things up here.

How about a good bye kiss?

How did I make the mistake?

How do you do?

How do you do?

How do you know I'm lying?

How do you say, uh, Har... Harlem.

How I could persuade you to change your mind

How is, uh...?

How long you been in this sweets field?

How many drugs do you think I did?

How much pleasure can one man endure?

How should we know?

How you doing, Banta?

How's, uh...?

Howdy.

Huh?

Huh?

Huh? Charlotte?

I always thought it was a coincidence.

I am looking for a fight.

I am not angry!

I am not bitter!

I am not going to leave here

I am not going to the hospital.

I am the living embodiment of the '60s.

I am, ma'am.

I am! I'm gonna beg!

I came back to see how your father was doing.

I came because I wanted to.

I can be.

I can keep this up.

I can't even get him to hold my hand.

I can't ever even think of...

I can't go in there, Zena!

I can't tell you how many told me,

I could have built a new one by now.

I could never do it on my own.

I couldn't take the pressure of the racial thing.

I did it all.

I did some drugs...

I did? Really?

I didn't even have time to change.

I didn't hit hardly anything.

I didn't introduce them.

I didn't know Alex had a sister.

I don't do that.

I don't even know

I don't even let people I like touch my hair.

I don't even realize I'm doing it.

I don't know she just is.

I don't know how much longer

I don't know what to tell them.

I don't know, maybe it's me.

I don't know.

I don't want to say anything

I don't want you to do that anymore.

I don't!

I expected you to say that and I'm prepared to deal with it.

I feel fine.

I got here for the first time.

I got it, man! I'm in!

I got nothing.

I got to admit, I never thought you'd pass.

I got to open up to someone.

I got to tell somebody.

I got you some flowers.

I guess we can rule out Chiclets.

I had to make it through the same ropes.

I had to show you.

I have a feeling when I die, they'll put that on my stone.

I have function in life.

I have to get some bald tires on the road.

I heard enough out of you today, all right?

I heard you, Elaine. Thanks.

I hope he's gonna be okay.

I I stand for something.

I just want to ask you... Shall we, Alex?

I just want to get the facts straight.

I just want to know why.

I know guys pulling rickshas that could do better.

I know he's going to do it.

I know I'm imposing, but I hoped you wouldn't mind.

I know what it is.

I know.

I know. I did it on purpose.

I like your goodies.

I like Zena...

I marched and protested against that crummy war.

I mean it, Nardo.

I mean, how do I put this?

I mean, I got nothing to worry about, right?

I mean, I made a big speech to him

I mean, I was brought up

I mean, if I were in space I'd be weightless.

I mean, it's the first time I ever had a girl

I mean, let me ask you a question.

I mean, was he running to catch a train or something?

I mean, who in this garage is going to introduce her to Louie?

I mean, you did bring Louie and me together.

I mean, you know Louie.

I need somebody to introduce me.

I never been good at speeches,

I really do.

I really feel responsible, you know, screaming like that.

I remember he even paid for your tuition one year.

I said he collected stamps.

I screamed and it shocked him so, he just collapsed.

I spent a year of my life making a macramé couch.

I spent several years in Europe.

I think I deserve better than that.

I think maybe you'll, uh... like each other.

I think that Cubby's got it in for me.

I think you better sit down.

I think you put a couple of ice cubes in it too.

I thought I dreamed that.

I thought I was on my way to Nirvana.

I thought that the only thing that could

I thought this was the test.

I thought you were coming to my fight.

I thought you were in critical condition.

I threw them away.

I told her, "I don't want you moaning on records anymore."

I understand your anger.

I understand your bitterness.

I want to make a grievance.

I want you to do for me

I wanted to name her something silly, like Taffy.

I wanted to tell him myself.

I wanted very much to talk to Alex,

I was at a fund raising dinner, but I was called away.

I was at Woodstock.

I was finding God all over the place.

I was going to go to your fight

I was in Manhattan this evening.

I was just about 11

I was thinking of Scheherazade.

I was very well aware of his indiscretions.

I went to all the big events.

I wish they had sent me to college.

I won!

I wonder what "uh, huh huh, huh huh" means.

I wore flowers in my hair...

I, uh... I came here to see how you were, and, uh...

I, um...

I... I got something to say.

I'd be just like them.

I'd go into my bedroom and cry.

I'd like to see them try that with disco.

I'd rather be the only woman on a Greek freighter.

I'd really like to.

I'll leave you two alone.

I'll see you around."

I'll send somebody for you.

I'll tell you what:

I'll tell you, I just can't understand Zena.

I'll tell you...

I'm Charlotte Rieger.

I'm doing it.

I'm expecting the Mouseketeers any second now.

I'm getting done, bro.

I'm glad you didn't make me guess.

I'm going to change your mind.

I'm looking for Alex Rieger.

I'm looking forward to it.

I'm Louis de Palma.

I'm not going!

I'm not here to talk about that stupid cat.

I'm not prepared to live with.

I'm not sure what she wanted me to say, uh...

I'm nuts about you, Louie.

I'm only human, I mean.

I'm piqued as hell!

I'm really sorry.

I'm sleeping with the lights on tonight.

I'm sorry to see you this way.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, but this is really the end.

I'm trying to save her from herself, but...

I'm used to another kind of woman.

I'm willing to try.

I'm... a little weak.

I've been asking myself that question.

I've been busy.

I've ever been out with... who...

I've had my share of women, and then some,

I've never felt closer to a group of people,

I've often thought I'd make a good pharmacist.

If I asked you a personal question?

If I took this opportunity to tell you

If I'm going to do this, I'm going to have to be alone.

If Jim comes and works here as a cab driver?

If the steward isn't around

If there's one thing that I will not tolerate

If we haven't got anything to say,

If we paid you by the mistake, you'd own this place by now.

If you don't see our father today,

If you go and it doesn't work, so?

If you'd like to come over and join us.

In fact, we haven't talked to each other in almost 30 years.

In my country, we have a saying:

In our little group.

In the garage.

In the intimate details.

Interesting person.

Is he all right?

Is me.

Is that so?

Is that we'd like to help you.

Is that Zena is the first girl

Is there a place that we could be alone?

Isn't anybody the least bit curious

It doesn't change the fact he stayed away from me

It embarrasses me to talk about it.

It got me here.

It got to me.

It has been a while.

It has made a difference, your being in this world...

It was a weird thing, Tommy.

It was either a tranquilizer or a Chiclet.

It was fifth grade, Dad.

It was nice meeting you all.

It was very different with you.

It would mean a lot to me.

It'll be okay. Don't worry, relax. You...

It's a bad idea.

It's a free dinner.

It's her fault.

It's just one date.

It's just that you're too good, period.

It's me, Alex.

It's natural we'd have some physical involvement.

It's not so easy for me to forget that.

It's okay.

It's quittin' time. Let's go home.

It's so easy.

It's your business, Alex.

Jeez, it was nice chatting with you.

Jeff... Yeah.

Jim, I guess what we're trying to say

Jim, I'd like to present you with the keys to Cab 605

Jim, please don't be offended

Jim, really, it's going to be okay.

Jim, they mean Earth weight.

Jim, uh, would you mind

Jim! Jim, that's stupid!

Judy?

Just as much as he stayed away from you,

Just because he's had a heart attack,

Just listen, all right?

Just put "No."

Just see him.

Keeping this huge operation humming.

Knock it off!

Knock it off! Knock it off!

Krubnik, 301!

Last call. I got to close it up.

Latka, I'm still waiting on that cab.

Latka, Latka, Latka, calm down.

Latka!

Latka! Where have you been?

Latka! Where have you been?

Latka...

Latka's grammar's bad?

Let me explain. Now look, Louie,

Let me give you the room number.

Let's get cracking here.

Let's get him a job.

Let's get this cab out, huh?

Let's get this show on the road.

Let's see, I, uh...

Let's see.

Light...

Light...

Light... mean?

Like you're wasting your life?

Like, uh...

Like, um...

Listen, Alex,

Listen, I, uh...

Listen, Miss Stallworth...

Listen, my friends and I, we were wondering

Listen, the doctor was concerned.

Listen, uh, I, um...

Listen, Zena is going to be in any minute now.

Look at him.

Look, everybody, I appreciate you trying to help me,

Look, I don't have to hold up my hand.

Look, I lied, um...

Look, if the situation was reversed,

Look, okay,

Look, uh, Charlotte insisted

Look, you see, my thing with Zena is different.

Look, you've done me a couple of favors in the past

Losers... bookings are down this week.

LOUIE ( loudly over P.A. ): Okay, listen up here!

Louie, I'd like you to meet Zena Sherman.

Louie, what?

Louie, would you just do me one last favor?

Louie, you know, when people like each other a lot

Louie, Zena and I had a long talk today

LOUIE: Hey, Wheeler!

LOUIE: Yeah?

Louie!?

Louie?

Louie?

Louie?

Louie?

Louie?!

Lubna, 831.

Lucky thing for them I went.

M m m mm!

Making fun of the boss.

Man, the traffic out there is unbelievable tonight.

Married two people stark naked in the woods.

Maybe I just get turned on by powerful men.

Maybe I'm dreaming this.

Maybe we can talk to him this afternoon.

Maybe you've forgotten just how

Me?

Me? No, no.

Mean?

Mean?!

Meditated for hours on end...

Might as well get this over with, huh?

Mm hmm.

Mmm... a lot.

My brown eyes hurt.

My father and I are not close.

My friends have been asking me that question, my parents.

My guess is they dated them.

My guess would be his family herded swine.

My theory is that, since she's not a stupid person

My theory is, Zena is nuts.

Nah, you crazy?

Nah!

Nah! No way!

New rule here,

New rule.

Next time.

No more talk about Zena, you understand?

No rubbing.

No, Charlotte, don't beg.

No, Charlotte!

No, don't put two.

No, don't, don't, don't.

No, I came because you're my father.

No, I got something to say, Alex.

No, just me.

No, no, no, no, look, I'm not mad.

No, no, no, no.

No, no, no, not that personal.

No, no, no, this is the application.

No, thanks, Louie.

No, wait, I'm second.

No! Hey! No!

No! Then there's no problem.

No.

No.

No... I'm sorry.

Nobody asks him nothing.

None.

None.

Not anymore. I live in East Hampton.

Not bad. Not bad.

Not even in the portable johns at Woodstock.

Not everybody stands for something, but I do.

Not nearly so many as you probably think I did.

Not so good.

Now get your foreign butt back to work.

Now I'm telling you, Jim,

Now this is a very relative question.

Now, Charlotte, don't start.

Now, come on, you know as well as I do.

Now, get back to work!

Now, I guess that's natural

Now, look, Charlotte, if you want to chat socially, fine,

Of being your first passenger.

Of course, I can only stay for five or six.

Oh, abi deeba suboflay.

Oh, about, um...

Oh, Alex.

Oh, Alex...

Oh, boy, did that guy go down hard.

Oh, boy, oh, boy, oh, boy, oh, boy.

Oh, boy.

Oh, come on, Charlotte!

Oh, come on, Louie, she's not your first.

Oh, damn it, you're my father.

Oh, Elaine...

Oh, geez, I'm sorry.

Oh, good. Yeah, good.
