And now let's read Luigi's letter as he writes about his adventures in America to his mama-basco image. Mommy. There's one thing about the American, whatever he's a do, he's a do fast. In the morning, he's a rush to work in a subway, later he's a rush to lunch, then he's a rush back to the office, a rush to his work, a rush home at five o'clock, a rush to his dinner in ten minutes. And then he's a find out he's got a nothing to do for the next five hours. That's the truth, Mommy. Americans, they don't like to waste time on anything. Over here, the biggest thing is a quick service. A busy day lunch is a seven million, a six minute, you get your pants to press while you wait. And the last week, I read about a cemetery where cats have got a special price and they're cheaper so people should hurry up. But this is so different for me. I remember a little town in Castellamara. Everything is a go slow. When I'm always a milk of the cow in the morning, I must sit down first and talk to her. I must ask her how she's a feeler if she's slept a good night there. And a while I'm a talker and I must sneak out the two quarts of milk. In America, in America it's all together different. Electricity. Comes at four o'clock in the morning, the farmers wake up with a cow and he's a plugger in the wall. In a ten minute, she's a push out twenty quarts of milk and the cow has got the rest of the day off. That's a big business. Well, maybe, maybe I'm going to change it to American awareness. Who? Who knows? Excuse me, I'm just coming in now to come to the money for a squally. And if he's no big in a business, he is a big in a something. Luigi, my friend! Hello, Luigi, hello, hello. Hello, Viscali. Well, how's the business, a little banana nose? Well, that's the funny you should ask, if I squali, I'm just thinking about that. Would it be nice if I had a big business and I go to the bank every week? Go to the bank? What for? To fill up your fastened pen? Well, I don't have to. What business am I to some of that? From a wife, selling old antiques? Viscali, you really think antiques is about the business? No, antiques is a wonderful business if you happen to be a termite. Yeah, but if I squali... Look, Luigi, it's not so much the business you win that it counts. It's the business of brains you've got and that's not something you can learn. If you're lucky, you're born with a brain. You get it from your parents. That's what they call heresy. Yeah, but if I squali, I'm not a good business man. That's why you need an accountant. Uh, Conan, what's your business? That's the fellow juggles around with your assets. You know, libelities and stuff like that. You know, Luigi, last night I had a talk with a my accountant and I'm really spreading out. I couldn't see that. Oh yes, someday I might get so big I'm going to open up another restaurant in New York, best for spot too. So where does it at to I squali? It's the business of section. On the corner of Don and the Bradstreet. There you are, going to invest in my money. Are you out of? That's a foolish of a such a big man like me to have all these money sold up in the mattresses. You should have kept some of your brackets, huh? No, no, you're bold. I should have invested in a cash. In a cash? You wouldn't understand. Tell the truth, I don't even understand the my accountant. You know, they smart fell it. They went to high school. Well, let's go back to what you said about the plans. Ah, you see, you paid attention. Well, you see, I've got this antique story of yours for a long time. Well, if I sell it, I can get what they call a capital gain. No money, just a capital gain? No, it's some money, but I can keep them all at taxaways. Anyway, my accountant advises I should have sell it. Yeah, but you're, you're often as a face. Have a squally. Have a squally. You ain't really going to sell your antique shop, huh? Now it's my time to laugh. Yeah, but even if you sell it, I'm not going to have to move out, huh? I'm going to lease it. Lease it. Ha, ha, ha. What's the meaning to this? Ha, ha, ha. I will read it as a small print to Luigi. Well, what for? When I'm a first to sign a lease, after I'm a come off of the boat from Italy, you told me a smaller printer was a decoration of an appendix. Besides, a printer was a too small to read. That's all right. You've got to warn them to scourage, Elysees. The printers are so small, you'll get the scourage from reading them. Well, get a magnify and a glass of lily cabbage. You post them and look at it for now. All right. Mamma mia, where am I putting it? Oh, yes, yes, in a cash register. Ah, here, Elysees. Mamma mia, I'm ready to find a print. All I must see is a dot. That's it. Here, give me a raise. If the property is ever sold, the lease is automatically cancelled. Good, huh? Ha, ha, ha. My counter to put that in. Yeah, but first of all, you can't do this. You can't do this. Don't get excited, Luigi. Calm down. Relax. Maybe the new landlord is going to decide to let you stay. You already got a new landlord? Hey, that's right. And this party, I know, only likes their relatives through one of their stores. Maybe you can become this new landlord's relative. But, well, tell me, who's your new landlord? You'll find out. So happens that the new landlord is waiting outside. Oh, landlord! Landlord! Landlord! My little FHA. Rosa, say hello to your tenant. Luigi, I like you should have met your new landlord. Hello, landlord. But, well, there's a kind of bit of new landlord. Well, it is. And stop a gripe between us so much. You see, my building was in a corporation. At taxaways, if I'm a seller, Rosa, the building is still in a family. She's in a new corporation. Rosa's in a new corporation? That's right. She's a little more like a general of mortage. Luigi, don't talk like that to your landlord. Then you're going to throw me out and that's the way you think is honest business, huh? Luigi, I'm just a follower of advice of my accountant, Rosa's of my capital again. Well, me, if your capital is again, now the answer is she's going to bust it. One more wise quack. You'll be looking into the other side of the window, Luigi. I'm going to be your best tenant. Tomorrow is the February 28th. I'm not going to pay you the rent. Luigi's a no-go to with the rent. Rosa's the rent in this store only to a relative. I write to her from now on, Rosa. I'm your cousin. Nothing at all. And the only kind of relative that she likes is a husband. Rosa, you mean I'm going to marry you just to keep it a story? I'm sorry, Luigi, but business is business. You can't do this. I'm not going to go to my natural class right from now on to find out the something from them. But they're going to figure it out. I'm going to fire you all the time. Leave with me. All right, class. Quiet, please. That's all the role. Mr. Basco. Here. Mr. Howard. Here. Mr. Olson. Mr. Schultz. I'm here. No, no, Mr. Schultz. Watch your diction. In a declarative sentence, you shouldn't raise your voice at the end. The rather than do, I raise my voice in the middle. That'll be enough. Now, let's get on with our lesson. Now, class, I assigned you the chapter on birds in your grammar books. Let's see how well you studied. Mr. Howard, will you tell us what is a verb? With pleasure. A verb shows action. Good. Give us an example. Mary skipped, jumped, ran, and swam all day. Fine. Mr. Schultz, pick out a verb in that sentence. Mary. What? Does Mary show action? I don't know, but if I did what she did, I would be pooped. Don't give up so easily, Mr. Schultz. We found out that a verb is a word that shows action. Now, think, what did Mary do all day? Responding. I refuse to be a peeping towel. Responding. Now, Mr. Rosen, Mr. Baskow. Mr. Baskow, will you tell us what word shows action? Russia. What? Why does Rosa show action? Because she's going to throw me out of my store. Mr. Baskow, are you trying to be funny? No, no, Mr. Baskow, I'm going to try to be funny, because all I mix up is so hard, it's hard to explain. But if Pasquale is a celeros, is a capitalist, she should again, I'm going to move, because at least she's going to make a Pasquale so rich he's going to move to Bradstreet and I'm done. P.G., are you for shimmers? Mr. Baskow is, as you say, and Mr. Pasquale is evicting you from your store. I think it might be a good thing, finally. He's always taking advantage of you anyway. Why don't you find another store? Mr. Luigi, you think Pasquale's got the only store in town? This is a free counter. You can get down the store you want. You'll have a young pinion and he shows some spunk. Don't you be afraid of Pasquale. Remember, you are a man and you are healthy and strong. He talks like my draft board. We gave you the answer, Luigi. Go to some good real estate agent and he's going to find you a different store. A real estate agent, huh? Mr. Baskow, I think that's very sensible advice. Take it. I can give you the name of a very reputable gentleman, Luigi. He'll find you a new store in a year. Oh, friends, thank you for your help and advice. I'm not going to ship Pasquale right after school and tell him he's going to keep his store. Then I'm going to tell him I'm not going to find another store and this is a free country. Then I'm going to say that... No, Luigi, you're not. By the time you get through telling Pasquale off, you're going to run into another month's rent. Hello, Pasquale. I'm the one who's talking to you. Sure, sure, little Cabbage Puss. Sit down and we'll make a plan about the wedding, eh? Is there going to be no wedding? Oh, you're going to loathe. It's a nice, Luigi. Tonight, when I'm not looking, you'll put up a ladder against the roses of the wind to climb up and when you come down, I promise you the whole neighborhood is going to be there to congratulate you. If I'm ever carried on, sit down a ladder. The whole neighborhood will better be there to pick me up. Luigi, I don't like this kind of jokes. Remember what your new landlady has told you? Marriage or else? Pasquale, I'm attacking the or else. My friends are advising me I'm sure to find new stores, so I'm going to really start the agent tomorrow. Oh, so you're mixing your friends in, eh? Now the little chicken is a fly in the coop. Ah! You just have filled out your own debt to certificate it. I'll show you who's a who's and what's a what's. Hello. Hello, Mr. Lane. Listen, I just sold the antique shop like he was a talking. I want you to right away draw up a paper so the new landlord can serve eviction and notices unattainable to Luigi Basco. He should have been thrown out the right of way. Huh? Pasquale, aren't you going to wait in a chair? Wait or not, then I'm a true waiter. No, Luigi? You're going to start moving your crummy antiques out right now. How about a pleasure, Pasquale? Luigi, you only got two choices. That's all? Yes. Either you marry my rosa or you become my son-in-law. And alike with Luigi, here's a suggestion that'll add enjoyment to your daily work. No matter what kind of work you do, there are times when the pressure gets heavy and you feel the strain and tension.

It gives you comfort and satisfaction that just naturally helps you feel better and work better.

So to make your daily work more enjoyable, chew helpful, refreshing Wrigley's spearmint gum. Keep some handy all the time. Two of Luigi Vasco's letter to his mother-in-law. Well, the mama-ma-ma, I'm no one to marry rosa, so right away I'm going to see a real estate agent. And if I'm a him, I'm going to see other real estate agents. The only thing I'm a found a cheap was a place for $15 a month. Wasn't that the better? Well, who's going to buy antiques in a subway stand? So here I am in a my antique shop looking around for the last time and waiting for Pasquale to throw me out. Hello, Susie. Oh, Luigi, what's the matter? Didn't you go to see that real estate agent? Wasn't you able to find anything? Yes, I'm a went, I'm a dead, I'm a wasn't, and I'm an antagonist. Luigi, stop speaking short-hand. Tell me what happened. Well, I see you're such a talker. Pasquale has got the only store in the Chicago that's a cost of $30 a month with a free spaghetti dinners. What's the good? He's already asking you to marry his big meatball. Sorry, Luigi. I shouldn't choke at the time like this. I didn't think about going to be so bad, though. That's all right, the short-hand. No, wait, Luigi. How much money have you got? Ah, sure, sir, please. I'm too proud to take the money. But don't worry, Luigi. I'm too proud to offer. Luigi, all of you are so proud. Who says you've got to be in the antique business anyway? My heart. Your heart? Well, listen to your stomach this time. You won't take money to keep you going. You've got to eat. There's only one thing to do. Find a job. A job? Sure, lots of people have them. You go to work, and just throw your antiques in the back of my house. How are you laughing at me? You're making a joke. You know, what do you mean? I'm trying to get a job, but what's going on? I'm going to start your company. Get up and shop it. Well, listen. I got a friend. Harry will. And then I got a friend, yeah. He's got a little gas station. He's my delicatessen. He's not having a laugh at all at that. What's the matter? You know what to do? I don't know. And he told me. Harry will, he told me yesterday that he'd help a Christian. I'm going to call up Harry right now. Yeah, yeah, but it should, it should, it should. I'm going to do it. I'm going to have a work in a gas station. You know what? Millions of people never got married, but every year they take a chance. Hello, Harry. Harry Schultz. Oh, no, Harry. You're not for that job. You're still got it open. Yeah, but he don't know much about cars, but he learns quickly. It's honest, dependable, and he's got a work hard. What's the meaning of it? Okay, Harry. And thanks. Luigi, we did it. In a few hours, you're going to see how you make out, and then you can help a smiley to keep his rap no store. Come on, Schultz, you're where? Where am I going to go? 32 North Maple Street in Horia, Luigi. Well, I'm going to now. Goodbye, Schultz. You're real friends. That's nothing, Luigi. Wait, wait, wait. When you wait on a customer at a gas station, you always got a smile. That's right. Smile. Be like me, Luigi. Always smiling, always laughing. My rheumatism is killing me. Our cars, Mr. Vasco. Well, I'll tell you truth, Mr. Wellie. The only thing I'm going to know about the cars is the water press quality to tell me when I'm a first to come to America. Down across the plate, if you see a car, I'm moving it three blocks away. Well, for the time being, you'll just handle the pumps. When a car drives up, you'll just ask if they want gas, check the water, air, oil. You'll catch on. Oh, I'm hoping so very much. You think, Mr. Wellie, you think I'm a kind of lander to guess the business? Oh, sure. You just watch what I do when you imitate. Monkey sees monkey does. Monkey sees a monkey does. That's a good one. Right. Okay, now put all those white overalls in that little white cap and I'll start breaking in. All right. Monkey sees a monkey does. My memories are like they're working in a zoo. Grab that car. Okay. Wait, I'ma sure to grab it. Hey, Carol. All right. All right. Something that we're going to sell you today, buddy. We got a nice fresh, you guys. It's a fresh water, beautiful oil, and it's soft to touch. It's a pleasure to touch. What? Hey, look, just fill her up. Huh? Oh, sure. Fill it up. What the what? Apple. Wait, the who? Apple. I think you got it on the place of Mr. Shiz and her worker here. That's a comedy, Mack. Well, you're not a mind, never mind, Basko. How many, sir? Fill her up. Apple. Yes, sir. Check his pressure, Basko. Huh? Check his pressure. Maybe I'm a better color doctor. Oh. Never mind. I'll do it. For Pete's sake, watch me. All right, sir. First, I wipe off the windshield. All right. Oh, Donna, there's a customer at the other pump. You think you can take care of them, Basko? Oh, sure. The monkey says that he's going to do. Hiya, sir. Hiya, sir. You want to act on the windshield? Or maybe you like I'ma shoot a check of your blood pressure. I'm in a hurry. Five regular. A regular what? Gas. Oh. Oh, sure. Sure. The life of stuff. Hmm. What's your pipe of his or yours? That's a funny. It's an ol' libella sound. Pete! Something is wrong? You're pouring water into my gas tank. Oh, come on. Excuse me, sir. Oh, and I'ma not gonna cheat. I'ma gonna put the extra gas into your water tank. Never mind. Don't come in. Listen, I asked you. Here. You. Ooh. Look, isn't it? You had a beautiful look on it. Hi, Harry. Oh. Hello, Mr. Brown. Hello, Mrs. Brown. Well, how do you like her? Isn't she a beauty? Oh, and how? Best looking car I've seen. Ooh. You've got nine miles on her, I see. Uh-huh. If anybody scratched the fender, I'd kill them. We waited eight months for this baby. Eight? Ha-ha! That's a, that's a what do you say? A coincidence. What's a coincidence? I was eight months of baby two. Come on, Harry. We're having a bite while the car is serviced. You sit with us and tell us how to handle it, right? Well, say, you're not gonna refuse us that service, are you? You got a man to take care of the car? Well, I'm hungry. Come on, let's go. Let's fill her up, boy, and if the right windshield wiper sticks, fix it. Basko. Basko, be very careful. Uh-huh. Check the oil and water. Be very careful. Oh, yes. And be sure those new tires are exactly 26 pounds. See you in a little while. Ah, sure. Sure. My, my, my, I hope I'm gonna remember everything. Fill up the oil with the water. Oh, please. The tires are gonna be 26 pounds. Stick the windshield wipers on the right side. Hey, my, my, my, I'm, I'm gonna do a lot of work, but the car doesn't look so good. I'm gonna kind of get a gas in the front of the hull because somebody's already put a water in it. And these are holes on the side that they don't go nowhere. Everything is dripping. Well, now, now the windshield wipers. Why he wants on the right? I don't know. Hmm. How's, how's it gonna stick? Maybe I get a semi-glow on the paste on it. Yeah, maybe. Well, I, I'm asking Mr. Weatherly later. Here, let me see now there. Oh, yeah. Now the tires I'm gonna took off for the car. He wants it. What he wants? Oh, yeah. I should wear 26 pounds. Well, the way I'm gonna find a scalar. Oh, there's the one in the front of the restaurant. Well, I'm gonna roll over that. Here's the scalar. Oh, where's the funny? Uh-huh. Put them in a machine. You will have a healthy prosperity and a good year. That's a real fortune. Those are the name of the tire. But the look is the way 110 pounds. How am I gonna make it 26? Let me see first. The first time I'm gonna let the air out. All right. Then I'm gonna cut off a piece. Maybe it's as much as I've had. I'm gonna go back and I'll get a knife. Here's your helper. Oh, no. Oh, where's the car? Oh, no. That's why they should see that. They got me a job in a gas station. They gave you a job of working around the gas? Yes. I better go outside to see if Chicago's are still in Illinois. I'm gonna put a spot of pleasure. Pleasure. Don't throw me out of my store. The only things I'm gonna love is in my antics. I'm a no-god, you know, the kind of business. I'm a tried-out, but I'm a no-god. Luigi, if I owned the property, you could have stayed. But it's out of my hands. Gross is the landlord and she wants to get married. Well, my son. I'll give up the pumpkin. Pumpkin ahead. And remember, you're just a little chicken. And when you try to fly away from the coop with the try-out of your wings, in the end, you've got to come home and to roost. I guess you're right. But let me warn you. Next time, this little chicken tries to fly the coop, he's gonna wind up with a frick as a. Now, about the marriage. Hello, Mr. Pascuali. Hello, Mr. Lane, handsome Mr. Luigi Bascuali. I'm glad to say we don't have to serve him with any eviction of notice. He's married into my daughter. Well, congratulations. Thank you very much. Well, then, it doesn't matter about the capital game deal, not being able to go through. What do you say? Never mind. We could have talked some other time. Not talking now. Well, it's simply that when I saw you were turning over your money to your daughter to buy the building, you didn't have a spot and you don't want that. You mean a Pascuali has got to be the landlord of the building? Yes. Pascuali, I'm a free. What? Roses and all my landlady, I'm a free Pascuali. Well, Luigi, let's be fair. Can we talk this over, my little chicken? Well, sure, Pascuali. It's something I'm more than saying. What? Mamma Mia, what to look like? Was it going to be very bad for me? Is it turned out to not be so bad? I'm back in my antique shop doing the work that I'm going to stand and, best of all, the work that I'm a lover. I don't want to make a lot of money like a Rockefeller, Mamma Mia, because I'm going to leave the Mr. Rockefeller to become a millionaire from oil. Who, in all I'm going to say, is that if he's a maid at the working in a gas station, he deserves it. He's a loving son of Luigi Vasco, a little immigrant.
