And now let's read Luigi's letter as he writes about his adventures in America to his mama Vasco in Italy. Dear mama me. Since I've been in America, I'ma think that this is the coldest winter I've ever saw. All over the country, people are sitting in the house trying to keep warm. And you know how they do this? Electric heat, electric lamps, electric blankets, electric radiators. Mama me. If America is ever blow out the fuse, the whole of the country is gonna freeze. Is it different from the other country? Mama me. When we got a cold night in a Castellamare, all the families sit around the fire with plenty of good red wine on the table. Twenty minutes by the fire. If you still are cold, twenty minutes with the wine and you don't care how you feel. I remember mama me that a cold night Uncle Pietro is suddenly saying, my poor God, he must be frozen. So he's a guat in a barn. He's a fascist to push a hot water bottle under a goat while he was asleep. Mama me. That was the night that we found out the goat could have sweared. Anyway, the reason I'm thinking so much about a cold is because of my landlord. And it's supposed to be my friend in the country when a Pasquale is a no-giver steamer. So I'm sitting here like a frozen mackerel and ice. For days I'm a banger bang on a steamer pipes, but there's no answer. Well, I'm going to try again. Yeah, but a Pasquale, where is the heat? In Africa. What do you got? A new hobby, banging the pipes? And you don't give it a heat, so I'm going to let you know. Don't you think it's a cold enough? Luigi, I don't go by myself. I use the scientific methods. I got a thermometer in my store and it says a hundred degrees. A hundred degrees, so where do you keep it as a thermometer? Right where I can always see it, on top of the stove. See you have a Pasquale over there? The red line isn't ever going to drop it down. Luigi is not enough for the red line to run it down. I don't give steam until that thermometer turns blue. That's not a Luigi. You turn in a green. It doesn't look so good. You banana nose doesn't look ripe. But Pasquale, the way you talk, I'm going to tell him to do something wrong. Come on, tell me what's the matter? Don't look so innocent, Luigi. Somebody owes me two months of rent and it ain't like Xavier Kugatz. Oh, so that's it? You mean you're not going to give me heat until I'm a pay-up of the two months of rent? That's exactly what I mean. Yeah, but Pasquale, I'm going to freeze it today. That's a free country, Luigi. You're going to die anywhere you want. Pasquale, don't talk like that. I talk any way I want, you little pupasqueak. I've been pretty fair with you so far. Yeah, but Pasquale, I'm going to... Let me finish. I brought you to America. I said you often as a crazy antique shop. I've been lending you money right and the left like I was the Morris, a plan, and you was a Morris. Yeah, but I'm always a pay-up back. That's not enough. I didn't bring you here from Italy just so I could have gone and money landed a business. All I know is you were terrible a business man. You always owe money and there's one thing about you I can't stand especially. Oh, what's that? What's the use of it? Tell you this thing, whether you are, you are, you're never going to change. Well, what? What? Come on, tell me and I'm going to change you right now. You promise? Sure, I'm a promise. All right, I'll change you from a bachelor to a sudden law. Now I understand. It's not for the two months of rent that you keep away the stimulus because I don't want to marry a factored daughter of Russia. I don't want to call her a factored. She's just a little round. Bascuali, if she was any rounder, she would roll, not to walk. Luigi, listen, listen, I'm going to give you your choice, Luigi. I'm going to give you your choice. You got a mario rosa, you're going to be cold all the winter. That's your choice. Yeah, but what is it? Rosa or frosa? You want to keep a warm and make up your mind to marry a rosa? No, Bascuali, I'm not going to marry her. Please, Luigi, just this one winter. No, no, no, no. When a man wants to keep a warm, he buys a little stove and not the whole of the gas company. Luigi, from a now on, everything is a strictly business. Are you waiting to get in the drop of heat because you owe me two months of rent? No, no, Bascuali, don't do this. You know I'm going to catch a call as a quickie. Luigi, I ain't a talker no more. You were a disaster victim. From now on, any appeals that you make are going to go direct to the Red Cross. Yeah, but, Bascuali, how are you going to be so mean? Luigi, it ain't easy. To Lou, I come back in the spring and defrost to you. I go, Bascuali. All right, class, let's come to order, please. I'll call the roll. Mr. Bascuali? I'm ahead. Well, Mr. Bascuali, that call sounds bad. Do you have a cold? No, no, it's all right. It's just a little tickler. Sounds like more than a tickle to me, Luigi. You should find out more about that cough. Most coughs should be taken care of immediately with the new drugs that are on the market. They're such as oreo, mycin, chloro, mycin, and streptomycin. And they will take away the tick. Go. You can get quicker results with a long feather. Bascuali, Luigi, you're going to be all right. Yeah, yeah. Well, maybe Bascuali isn't going to change his mind and give me back the steam with tonight. What's the matter, Luigi? Bascuali ran out of coal last night? No, no, no, no, no, no, no. He said if I'm done a pair with two months' rent, he's going to let me freeze it. Oh, he'll be very... You're very Yemenian, isn't it, Lord? That doesn't give steam in January. It's just a big, yes. Mr. Bascuali, this whole thing's very peculiar. Do you think Mr. Bascuali's holding back just because of the rent money? Well, uh... also because so the roce uh... ha now you let the cat out of the back stuff in the back begin up to hold a cat but well he has done some bad things but this won't take the case have you tried reasoning with him the week yet but but when it is a no use leviticus i know you would hate to do it but why don't you call up the border health complainable against past welly i think there's a lot of you don't know no no no no no harrow it's a place If I'm having trouble with my countrymen, I don't want to use outsiders. I'm using my own way. Your own way? What is that? Well, my mom, she's a teach me. Always, if somebody is to do something wrong, you turn to the other chick. Oh, what a terrible prize fighter she would make. Mr. Vasco, right now the thing you should do is take care of that cold before it gets bad. And tell Mr. Pascuali you'll do your best to get the rent as fast as possible. I think he'll go along with you. Yo ho, I agree with that. Yeah, but I'm afraid I want to think. What's that? Supposing he's a set-to-me, not stem or forever unless you marry us. Then you answer him with logic, Louie. Logic or what? Yeah, you say to him, Pascuali, when I go to the Turkish bath, nobody makes me marry the Turk. Oh, Pascuali, he's very cold in here. Yes, a little, Capuchin Puss. You look like somebody's a putter you in a deeper free. Yeah, you did it. Oh, so you've got a cough already. Ah, it's too bad. You shouldn't have smoked so much. But Pascuali, you know this cough, it doesn't come from a smoke. No, then why is a smoker coming out of your nose, eh? Is it because he's a cold in a story? Oh, so that's why. And why is a cold in a story? Because it's in a steamer. Pascuali, come on, be nice, huh? Put on a steamer. Luigi, I told you before, I refuse to talk about a steamer in your place, and I ain't a-talking about it all the winter. Ain't a-talking about it at all? Not at all, and not at a no. And uh-uh. Pascuali, you do me a big favor if you get out of my story. Huh? Oh, sure. Sure, you want all the cold air for yourself. All right, selfish, huh? Yeah, and wait, then, please, I don't want to come back. That's gonna be a big pleasure. And don't bother to talk with me, Pascuali, because I'm never gonna talk with you again. Never, huh? Never, Pascuali. I'ma swear to this, by everything, I'ma-I'ma hold the deal. Oh, you swear by every time you hold the deal, eh? You don't-you don't believe in me, huh, Pascuali? All right, I'ma tell you. I'ma swear by-by-I'ma swear by-by my mama that I'ma never gonna talk to you again. Well, look who's again in the series. That's right. You swear by your mama? Yeah, and only if my mama mea wasn't to come and to beg of me to talk again with you, then would I talk with you. Oh, stop, stop. You're breaking my heart. Far as I'ma concern and not to hear you stupid of voices is gonna be a vacation for me. A vacation? Are you here? Well, say something, a stupid, a stupid. All right, you greenhornaboo, but don't talk to me. Only if you don't say nothing, don't-don't expect I should answer you. To mention that delicious wriggly spearman chewing gum is not only good, but also good for you.
