Our love is worldly

Baxter fell in love and fell in love with Fran, an elevator operator in the same company. She is beautiful and cold. No man in the whole building can kiss Fang Ze. But Baxter at least had a bit of courage. He took the elevator that she operated, and took off his hat as a gentleman in the elevator--very few men do that. He tried to talk to her as much as possible, and although it was a bit lame, he asked her out.

The first time, Fran refused.

The second time, Fran didn't say no.

Baxter was happy and nervous, and a little sleepy. Since it was an 8pm movie, he also had a bad cold and his pockets were full of used and unused tissues. He really wanted to lie down and get some sleep. But what can be done? For the sake of work and promotion of his position, he had to get out of the warm bed and give up his home to his boss and a girl. There are always Yingying and Yanyan in this house, and the sound of Huan Ai is unbearable for the neighbors because it is too frequent. But none of these belong to Baxter. The love of the boss and the woman consumes his physical strength-because the house can't be vacated, he always has to aggrieve himself, and he has to stay in the company for a long time after get off work, sometimes Freeze in the snow for a while.

This time, he finally said no to the boss who borrowed the house, because he wanted to rest too much... So he had to deal with various bosses and constantly adjust the schedule of his house. Finally, this night, he The house belongs to him. However, another boss in charge of personnel found him, and the bargaining chip given by this boss was too big. Baxter thought about it and handed over his keys in a good manner. In exchange, he gets two movie tickets.

That's why he's standing in the cold wind tonight.

But it's okay to get an appointment with Fran, and a little wind is fine. But he didn't expect him to blow the wind for so long, and Fran didn't come until the end of the movie. He was angry, kept his hat on, and rarely took the elevator operated by Fran.

It's all back to square one, bosses are cheating on his apartment, Baxter is wandering outside, he's taking Fran's elevator a lot again, and he's talking a lot to her again. Until he finds out that Fran didn't come on the night of the movie because he went to his apartment...

    The old film is so good, can you write such a perfect book when you are 30 years old? Just wait and see.

    I feel that the lives of little people are so dark and obscure. Jack Lemmon is really an old showman. Billy Wilder is my forever idol.

The Apartment quotes

  • C.C. Baxter: I know how you feel, Miss Kubelik. You think it's the end of the world - but it's not, really. I went through exactly the same thing myself.

    Fran Kubelik: You did?

    C.C. Baxter: Well, maybe not exactly - I tried to do it with a gun.

    Fran Kubelik: Over a girl?

    C.C. Baxter: Worse than that - She was the wife of my best friend. And I was mad for her, but I knew it was hopeless. So I decided to end it all. I went to a pawnshop and bought a forty-five automatic and drove up to Eden Park. Do you know Cincinnati?

    Fran Kubelik: No, I don't.

    C.C. Baxter: Anyway, I parked the car and loaded the gun... Well, you read in the papers all the time that people shoot themselves, but believe me, it's not that easy. I mean, how do you do it?

    [cocks his finger, and points to his temple]

    C.C. Baxter: Here?

    [points to his mouth]

    C.C. Baxter: Or here?

    [points to his chest]

    C.C. Baxter: Or here? You know where I finally shot myself?

    Fran Kubelik: Where?

    C.C. Baxter: [indicating kneecap] Here.

    Fran Kubelik: In the knee?

    C.C. Baxter: Uh-huh. While I was sitting there, trying to make my mind up, a cop stuck his head in the car, because I was illegally parked. So I started to hide the gun under the seat and it went off - pow!

    Fran Kubelik: [laughing] That's terrible.

    C.C. Baxter: Yeah. Took me a year before I could bend my knee - but I got over the girl in three weeks. She still lives in Cincinnati, has four kids, gained twenty pounds. She sends me a fruit cake every Christmas.
