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? - here, or here, or here - [ with cocked finger, he points to his temple, mouth and chest ]
C.C. Baxter : - 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.
