Quotes:

[first lines]::Playwright: They say writers are the salt of the nation. Maybe that's so. I'm kind a writer, too. Though I doubt it if I'm salty enogh for, let's say, Luxemburgers.

[on the phone]::Playwright: Can I ask you if there's any possibility to...::Producer: Tomorrow. That's the deadline. You asked for two weeks. You got them. My partners are getting nervous, even more nervous than they usually get. Moreover, our star is flying to Paris in four days. And guess what, he still has nothing to read on the plane.::Playwright: Yeah, I know.

Playwright: I started writing because my father once said, the sitting man will always run better life than the standing one. He worked standing up, and I took his word for it. There might have been other reasons why I became a writer, but I can't recall them now.

His $85 a week gig playing in the jazz combo at the Stork Club is barely enough to make ends meet. The Balestreros' lives will become a little more difficult with the major dental bills his wife Rose will be incurring. As such, Manny decides to see if he can borrow off of Rose's life insurance policy. But when he enters the insurance office, he is identified by some of the clerks as the man that held up the office twice a few months earlier. Manny cooperates with the police as he has nothing to hide. Manny learns that he is a suspect in not only those hold ups, but a series of other hold ups in the same Jackson Heights neighborhood in New York City where they live. The more that Manny cooperates, the more guilty he appears to the police. With the help of Frank O'Connor, the attorney that they hire, they try to prove Manny's innocence. Regardless of if they manage to prove Manny's innocence or find the actual hold-up man, the situation may cause irreparable damage on the Balestreros.
