Dusty Cole: How's your mother?
Cherry Lane: She threw me out. I guess she got tired of me using all her hairspray.
Dusty Cole: Where are you living now?
Cherry Lane: Some hole in the wall on the Lower East Side. It's not much to look at but it's rent controlled. I don't keep much food over there because every time I do the cockroaches mug me for the food I bring home.
Dusty Cole: How much rent do you pay?
Cherry Lane: 40 a month. I've been so desperate for cash that I've been trying to make the landlord make me live rent free for the past two months. I figure that if I can corner him once I could live rent free until my lease expires.
Dusty Cole: Always working don't you?
Cherry Lane: Listen honey, you've got to get what you can out of this life. I don't want to wind up like my mother without a pot to piss in when I'm her age. America ain't no place for old folks. I'll bet in 10 or 15 years they'll be building camps for the aging. But if Nixon gets re-elected it'll probably be a police state anyway, so what difference does it make?

00:00:12.811 --> 00:00:14.999
Every time I get somethin' in
00:00:14.012 --> 00:00:14.972
the cockroaches mug me for it
00:00:14.973 --> 00:00:17.295

40 a month
00:00:29.107 --> 00:00:30.067
I've been trying to make the landlord
00:00:30.001 --> 00:00:31.389
for the past two months
00:00:31.039 --> 00:00:33.231

America ain't no place for old folks
00:00:46.766 --> 00:00:48.002
I bet in 10 15 years they'll be
00:00:48.979 --> 00:00:49.888
suggesting camps for the aging
00:00:49.889 --> 00:00:51.169
But if Nixon gets in again
00:00:51.017 --> 00:00:52.531
it'll probably be a police state anyway
00:00:52.531 --> 00:00:54.292
so what difference does it make
00:00:54.293 --> 00:00:56.134
