Fritzy: Not a pain. I turned around, the first time I walked, I went, stood in the garage, I started doin' little fuckin' things, I was standin' up, that I could stand for a little length of time, ya know? I says, "Look at this fuckin' thing." I waited about three, about two hours, I went back on the thing again. No [UI] this time, just stretchin'. No pain all day, when I sat up, when I got up, I sat down. Nothin' all fuckin' day. I got a little pain, ya know, soreness I got. But no, none of that real, real, fuckin' pain. Last night I got in around one o'clock, I hung myself again.

Frank: Uh-huh.

Frank: This mornin' I got up, I done it again. Now I'm waitin'. I had lunch, I'm gonna do it now in 15 fuckin' minutes. Ya know?

Frank: [UI].

Fritzy: What?

Frank: [UI].

Fritzy: Do you know that, I think I put myself back in place?

Frank: Ya opened up the, whattya call it, there?

Fritzy: Whatever I done Frankie, somethin' happened. In other words, when you dangle and hang all by itself, it's not enough pressure. When I forced the, ya know, like the stretch.

Frank: As you get older.

Fritzy: Yeah.

Frank: As you get older. The vertebrae is the thing inside the cushion. They start to wear. Ya understand?

Fritzy: Yeah, but somethin' was turned. No, this is not wear.

Frank: Sometimes now, maybe you got a nerve pinched [UI].

Fritzy: That's what I had.

Frank: And maybe you opened it up and you pulled it out.

Fritzy: Maybe I did.

Frank: See you got it out.

Fritzy: Maybe I did. But I don't believe, this is the fuckin' first time in months, Frankie.

Frank: See, another thing is, number one you don't do no walkin', you get, you, you, you.

Fritzy: The car, the car, the car. The worst thing. The...

Frank: [UI] house?

Fritzy: Yeah.

Frank: You go into the car. You go to the store, you get in the car.

Fritzy: I know.

Frank: You go here, you get into the car.

Fritzy: I know.

Frank: See, I walk I have no car. I got rid of my car, goodbye.

Fritzy: I know, I know, I know.

Frank: I haven't got a car since 1965.

Fritzy: That's what I gotta do, get rid of the fuckin' car.

Frank: [UI].

Fritzy: But you see, you're in a city, it's a different ball game over there.

Frank: [UI] But when you gotta go to the store, walk.

Fritzy: I know.

Frank: Take a walk in the mornin'.

Fritzy: I know.

Frank: [UI] exercise your legs.

Fritzy: I know.

Frank: But you're always sittin' in that car. Boom, bidda-bing, bidda, bouncin'. Bing...

Fritzy: Yeah, this fuckin' car's got hard. I need shocks on the car, too.

Frank: Ya understand?

Fritzy: I know.

Frank: You're bouncin' and bouncin' and bouncin', and your back is, and your back is gettin' smaller and smaller, those cushions, they leave you shrinkin'.

Fritzy: You're right. I used to be six-foot-three.

Frank: Ya know what you're doin'? Know what you're doin' now? You stretched out your thing.

Fritzy: I know.

Frank: You stretched out the thing.

Fritzy: I know. I'm gonna, I'm gonna keep doin' it because I don't want it to go back.

Frank: [UI] Do that every day.

Fritzy: Every day, every day I, I, hey, if I could, if I got the cure here, pal. I could hump again. I'll be the Mad Humper I used to be.
