Hy Anzell: Rosskam

Quotes 

• Francis Phelan : I'd like to buy this shirt from you. Will you take two bits for it?

  Rosskam : Why does a bum need a clean shirt?

  Francis Phelan : Clothes make the man, they say.

  Rosskam : Tidy bum. Sensitive, tidy bum I got on my wagon.

• Rosskam : So, how do you like it?

  Francis Phelan : Like what?

  Rosskam : Sex business, woman stuff...

  Francis Phelan : Well, I don't think about it that much anymore. To tell you the truth, I'm over the hill.

  Rosskam : Over the hill? How old are you, 62?

  Francis Phelan : I'm not *that* old.

  Rosskam : 71 here. I don't go over no hills. Four, five times a night, I get it with the old woman, and in the daylight I go house to house, I get offers. I never went house to house. Listen, half my life I go house to house, and I know how it is. You get offers. Boy oh boy, you get offers.
