“There’s a hundred thousand divorces a year. There must be SOMETHING nice about it!”
Oscar’s upper West Side apartment is bachelor paradise regained: unlimited cigars, poker with the boys, no curfews and no limits. Then in a moment of solidarity he invites Felix to move in. Felix gets a place to lick his wounds, Oscar gets someone to clean the ashtrays and cook dinner.
