Joe Darsie: Did you ever go on the bum? Bill Smith: Once I did it. Joe Darsie: Yeah? How'd you do? Bill Smith: [looking at a cigarette in his hand] Well, I got a cigarette. Joe Darsie: You could do it if you wanted to. You could be a swell bum. Bill Smith: I'm the type? Joe Darsie: It's like everything else. All you got to do is make up your mind and stick to it. Then you're it. Whatever you pick out, you can't miss. Bill Smith: To be a bum, you got to have willpower. Joe Darsie: [pointing to wealthy man in a limousine] Oh, I ain't kidding, mister. Thirty years ago, I made up my mind and I done all right, too. Look. What has he got on me? Bill Smith: A limousine. Joe Darsie: Mmhmm, and stomach ulcers. Bill Smith: There may be something in what you say. Well, good luck. Joe Darsie: [pulling out roll of bills and hands one out] Wait a minute, brother. Could you use a buck? Bill Smith: You save your money, mister. Times ain't that tough. Joe Darsie: No? Well, they could be. Bill Smith: [turning to leave] Looks as though they will be. So long. Joe Darsie: [watching Joe go] It's too bad. He could be a swell bum if he only had the willpower.
