louise you own an apartment in the building she's amazed now hold it right there buster ain't you forgetting where you came from it ain't the question of where i came from it's the question of where i am you are east side and she is west side i don't want no crosstown traffic in my kitchen [Applause] george the lord created everybody equal except in your case he quit work before he got to your head now just because we are moving up there's no reason why we have to look down on people i'm not telling you to look down on nobody i'm just saying to shift your angle and let them start looking up to you louise i've done good by you right and i hope someday diane's husband will do good by her but in the meantime she is where a domestic belongs in the kitchen and you are going to be where you belong in the dog house you
