the lady at the other end of the bar? The name's Fromman. Lorraine Fromer. Why? She's pretty. Yeah. Yeah, she's got class. Comes in here almost every night, all alone. There's a few drinks. Place the same number on the jukebox over and over. You'll see she's lonesome.

Yeah.
Yeah. Don't look at me, Mike. All I want is a beer, a kind word, and I'm going right home. I haven't got
any ideas on the subject. Well, you're the first guy I met around here who hasn't. Every customer who comes into the joint tries to date her. You sound as though you had a personal interest yourself. Me? Are you kidding? I got a wife and a family at home. Anyway, I'm the bartender. She's a customer. Sure. Sure, I know. I've seen you, Mike. Yeah. So long, Stu.
