"But you mustn't get sick and die. Cause I don't wanna live in this world without you. I don't want you to leave me alone here now. I don't like it here. We'll show them. We'll show them all."
A perfect salty Lemmon performance. Bancroft is great. Stallone! F Murray Abraham! I could tell M Emmett Walsh would be in this. Great stairs business that reminded me of my beloved Barefoot in the Park. Gorgeous music, and a lovely ending.

*“Uh, I don't understand... You mean someone walked in here and robbed us?”
*“What do you think, they called up and made an appointment? We've been ROBBED!”
Jack Lemmon is going through troubles in his apartment again and I love this!
