STINGO'S VOICE-OVER:
It was two years after the war when I began my journey
to what my father called the "Sodom" of the north:
New York.
Call me Stingo, which was the nickname I was known by
in those days, if I was called anything at all.
I'd barely saved enough money to write my novel --
for I wanted and hoped and dreamed to be a writer.
But my spirit had remained locked, unacquainted with love
and a stranger to death.
Even back then cheap apartments were hard to find
in Manhattan.
And so began my voyage of discovery in a place as
strange as Brooklyn.
YETTA ZIMMERMAN, LANDLADY:
I know... You're thinking about the pink.
Everybody does.
See, my late husband Saul, he got this bargain:
hundreds and hundreds of gallons of this
navy surplus paint.
I guess they didn't have much use for pink on
those boats, hm?
STINGO:
Ok, I'll take it.

Dale, where are you? We need a voice of reason in the midst of whatever that was I just saw (on tee-vee).
