If Herbie Hall is reading this to you now, you know I didn't make it through

surgery.

Now listen, Mrs. H. Put down that Kleenex.

Mr. H., stop wiping your eyes.

But don't none of you waste one moment being sad about me.

And that includes you, Marie.

These are his own words.

He sent them on to me.

It sounds just like him, Mr. Hall.

Yes.

I had a great run, thanks mostly to you, Mr. and Mrs. H.

And don't forget Freeway Jr., my pal.

What a great friend you've been to me.

There's always going to be plenty of those special treats you like.

It's all taken care of.

Also, Herb knows what to do about my favorite charity.

The orphanage in San Francisco.

Yeah, I grew up there.

Until I sold papers on the street and met Max.

And now, to my dear grandniece, Marie Simone, I leave everything I've got

Because you're everything to me a blood relative could be.

You make me so proud.

Mr. and Mrs. H., you know we were planning this trip to Montreal before I

sick. So now don't disappoint me.

You got to follow through because I arranged a few surprises.

What a remarkable man.

I ain't gonna tell you what they are right now. I'm gonna let Marie be in

charge.

I know you loved me.

And you know I loved you.

We will always have each other. So just cherish the good times and remember what

I always said.

Get on with the exciting business of life.

Max, that's it.

You all right?

Yeah, I'm all right.

He was a good friend.

He was like a father.

Real family.

An original.

The one and only.

How did it go?

Fine. Been waiting long?

Just got here.

This is my fiancé, Kurt.

How do you do?

Fine, fine.

Pleasure. Maria's told us an awful lot about you. That's all she's told us

about. You've got paint on your nose.

Oh, sorry.

I've been working in the studio since dawn.

Is it gone?

Well, I guess Kurt's just crazy about his work.

And about you? I think Max would approve, don't you?

I do indeed.

You're so nice.

No wonder I took such trouble to plan something very special for you.

Is it done?

I just put the finishing touch on before I left.

I didn't bring it with me because... Well, we haven't had time to properly

it yet.

Yes. Oh, that's not necessary. No, besides, I want you to see the shop and

Vivien Blanc, my partner.

And there is some kind of itinerary Uncle Max planned, which I have to go

with you. Oh, sounds intriguing.

Leave it to me. And you're going to have an unusual time.

Well, there's no rush. We're here in Montreal to enjoy our time just like Max

wanted.

How's your French?

Très la va.

Honey, come over here.

Camilla.

Jake.

Jennifer.

Jennifer.

Oh, it's wonderful to see you two again.

Don't take me all the way from California just for me.

Excuse me, gentlemen.

Excuse me. That'll be all right now.

Feel free to take any shots if you want.

Actually,

we're here on a different matter, but it's delightful to see you. Oh, and you

too, darling.

We were so sorry to hear about Trevor.

I hope you got our note.

Yes, I did.

And your beautiful flowers.

Oh, poor Trevor.

He was of a certain age, you know, and that dreadful asthma finally took him

from us.

You are looking great, Jonathan.

You're a lucky girl, Jennifer.

Yes, I know.

Darling.

Do you know my new husband, Ronnie Scott?

Only from your photographs. I'm Jonathan Hart. This is my wife, Jennifer. How do

you do?

You're an actor, aren't you?

Between book signings.

We were just about to have tea. Would you like to join us?

Great idea. I think it's this way. Come on, Junior.

Come on. I've signed so many books that my fingers feel like a bunch of twigs.

Oh, Ronnie.

That was one of my favorite frames.

I didn't do it on purpose.

I'll have to get it fixed.

Well, let's go.

After Trevor died, my whole life became Ashley Moody.

It became the child that he and I had never had.

Until I met Ronnie.

Why didn't you sell Ashley Motors to that German syndicate?

Trevor had already left me a fortune. What did I need with another one?

What you needed was me.

What you don't need is Ashley Motors.

It takes up too much of your time and energy.

You mean it takes up too much time and energy that could go towards you.

Jonathan, weren't you interested in buying my company once? I gave you an

you could refuse.

And you did.

Are you still interested?

Why? You changed your mind?

No, just testing the waters.

Jennifer and I don't need Ashley Motors either.

Of course not.

You've got it all.

We have each other.

That's what counts.

Lady Ashley?

Yes? There's a phone call for you. Oh, thank you. Excuse me.

Hello?

My dear woman, you definitely have the wrong number.

What's all that about?

Well, just some lunatic on the loose.

I suppose when one's a celebrity, one must expect it.

Would you get the dinner? I'd like to go.

Oh, that's all right.

It'll be our pleasure. We're staying in the hotel. It'll make it easier.

Thank you.

Oh, thank you.

You must come out to see us one day.

We rented this darling little house in the country with a pool, so Ronnie can

his lab.

By the way, Jennifer, I want to ask you something.

Woman to woman.

What do you think of my title?

Dancing on the glass ceiling steps every woman should know. Oh, Camilla, I

always liked your title.

Including Lady Ashley.

Well, that was the hardest one to come up with.

Thank God. He was knighted before he died.

For his sake, of course.

Of course.

Man to man, Jonathan.

Your shoot's a geek.

Yes, I do.

We'll throw a few steaks on the barbie and shoot a few quiet pigeons.

Isn't he adorable?

Feel trapped?

I don't think we can get out of this one.

Is this what's known as being steamrollered?

I think so.

Vivian?

Look at us.

I haven't seen that for years.

I brought it from home to show the hearts.

Remember?

How Michael Max took us to ride the carousel. I always look forward to those

Sundays. We only wanted to ride the carousel leaning out to feel the wind.

Why didn't somebody answer that?

Might be a phone call.

Hang on a second.

Girlfriend collects this stuff.

Really want it for her birthday.

This stuff.

Happens to be called Limoges.

Well, whatever.

Hey, uh, you think I could possibly pay you something on each week?

I think you could possibly have us confused with Sears Roebuck.

Not going to help me out? Oh, of course I'm going to help you out.

Bonjour. Can I help you?

Well, I hope so.

May I?

Certainly.

I've got a broken picture frame.

Lovely workmanship.

I wonder if you can repair it.

I think so.

The man who would know is out, but I'll get him to call you later. If you want

to come back with me, I'll get your name and number.

Is that you on the phone to Camilla? Quiet. Marie and Freddie will hear.

Why'd you jump the gun?

You said on the phone from London that you had the proof we needed.

Yeah, I had this stuff in my pocket.

Sitting next to her.

You were supposed to wait until I gave them to you. Keep your voice down.

Come on, where's the passport and the prescription?

Don't be angry with me, please.

It's what the frame's all about.

They're inside.

All the proof we need is tucked right in there.

Put them in a safe place until I call you.

You've done it.

They've pulled it off.

You mean I pulled it off.

And it wasn't that easy.

Now what's your turn?

No more phone calls.

I've seen more of you in foreign hotel rooms than I have in my own hometown.

I told you it was going to be hard for me to get away without her suspecting

something.

For your protection.

Protection against what?

Take it. I'm not like Camilla, Ronnie.

I couldn't kill anybody.

He's handsome, isn't he?

Huh.

He's also married.

He's wearing a wedding band.

The story of my life.

I didn't have the effect I don't need.

There's one on the plate.

Vivienne?

Hi.

Marie says she has something for me to repair.

Yes, here.

Oh, that's nice.

Must be from the 20s or 30s.

There, I can repair it.

Might be a little expensive, though.

It's okay. The gentleman can pay.

Kurt, show Vivienne the clock.

You want to see what Uncle Max commissioned me to do for the hearts?

Sure.

Of course I do. Please.

Voila.

My masterpiece.

Max was very specific about the details. For instance, the hands are stopping at

8 .45.

Because that's when Jonathan met Jennifer.

When are you giving this clock to the hearts?

Now. They're coming over for it in a few minutes.

Out the door so fast?

Definitely.

Marie has been looking over my shoulder since I started this piece.

She wanted it finished perfectly.

It's perfect.

It's finished.

It's out the door. Shouldn't we wait?

Why?

We could display it for a few days.

Allow the public to shower you with praise.

Vivian, that's one of the first things you have to get over when you're an

artist.

Letting your work go.

It looks fascinating.

Do we get to open it? I wish you could open it now, and I know Kurt would like

nothing better. But that's not what Uncle Max wanted.

And the winner is... Wow.

Field envelopes. This is better than the Academy Awards.

Max always did things in a big way. He ran the biggest off -track betting

in the state.

Yes, he did.

And he did it right from our kitchen.

This one is to be opened now.

I give you the second one later, and the third at a very special time.

Do you know what's in all of them?

No, no more questions. Just get ready to have a great time.

Well, shall I?

Go for it.

Ta -da!

Take the present over to the Havana Haze and open it there. The gang's all

waiting for you.

Havana, hey.

That's where we're going.

Freeway better get a breath of fresh air.

And, you know, this way.

No, no.

Somebody stole my car. Oh, my goodness.

Be careful.

Buckle up.

Which way?

Your guess is as good as mine. Go straight.

Now go there.

You should be thankful for small favors.

This is your

car?

This is my car.

This is our rented car.

This is my car.

Rented? No.

Well, this is my car. It's an unmarked police car. I thought that's who you

might be.

Detective Vachon. I don't suppose you're too happy with where our car, our

rented car is parked right now, are you, Detective?

Nor he.

Would you like to borrow my pen, Detective?

No, a cigarette.

Never mind, I'm trying to quit.

Thank you.

Name?

Jonathan Hart. Jennifer Hart.

Good, Emory.

What's that?

That's a present from a very special friend.

It was in the car.

And is it something someone might want to steal?

Don't think so.

It's value is only personal.

It's a bit hard.

Kurt is the artist who made it.

Oh.

What is it? A surprise.

We don't know what it is. We were just on our way to open it. When my car was

stolen? Yes.

Did you see who stole it?

We couldn't. I suppose you'll want us to go down to headquarters and fill out

the usual forms?

No.

No?

That's only necessary if something's stolen.

May I have my pen back, Detective?

Oh.

You have your rented car.

You have your surprise.

Now you can go ahead and find out what it is.

Thank you.

Yes, thanks, I guess.

And... Just one thing before you go.

Yes?

Perhaps the artist could tell me what it is. You see, in my business, we don't

like surprises.

Well, that would be up to the artist.

Really?

Charming. And where is this place?

The Havana Hill.

No.

Not the haze.

You know it?

No, Ed.

It's my favorite play.

Well, hi.

I'm Francis X. Gaylord.

Tomax always called me Goldie. Because that was my northern theater, you know,

when we met.

Jack Goldie. Long time before just Cheryl, just Madonna.

And I'm Lou Roth.

He left me the set of poker chips we played with as kids.

Of course.

I didn't expect anything, you know. Because Max already did enough for me

the kids.

The kids?

Oh, yeah. We had four boys and a girl.

You did?

Yeah, me and my late husband.

Oh, you thought that?

Nah. But let me tell you, Max helped out a lot through the years. What a guy. He

had his flaws like anybody.

I just can't think of any right now.

The last time I talked to him, his thoughts... were of you. And now, well,

celebrating in life.

Indeed we are. You know, we rarely saw each other. But Max always kept in touch

by phone or mail.

More facts.

We knew about all your adventures.

It's time to open the package.

Ah, ta -da.

I never knew Francis X. Gaylord was your real name.

You thought that was just Goldie? What's the X for?

Expensive.

To Mr.

and Mrs. H.

When you two met, time stood still.

They met each other at a quarter to nine.

I got it.

You know, it really did stand still.

And so did my heart.

And if you played this, it played the carnival of the animals.

Your favorite.

What a gift.

Beautiful work. Thank you, Kirk.

And now for the second envelope.

Theater tickets.

Concert tickets for tonight.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. H, you've always appreciated two wonderful things in

music and animals. So putting them together, here's two on row H.

For Carnival of the Animals. Of course, it's in French, but it sounds the same.

Enjoy, Max.

Ah, a toast.

To our dear friend, Max.

Who loved giving so much that life with him was like Christmas.

364 days of the year, wasn't it?

Yes, it was.

And he'd not only play Santa for us, but he'd play it for every orphanage and

halfway house from Montreal to Malibu.

And I don't have to tell you all.

that any time we'd ever say to him, Max, you know you're a great guy, he'd say,

No, but I'm a few bars...

We'll bring you some clay pigeons for the bargain. Don't get nervous when we

pull. Well, YG, they do their little boy thing. Let's do when I have a glass of

champagne.

Oh, it's a little early in the day for me.

Nonsense. It'll make you feel better.

I feel fine, really.

Well, when you've had four like I have.

Husbands, that is, not glasses of champagne.

You won't feel so fine.

But of course...

You'll be married to Jonathan till death do you part.

I certainly hope so.

If you don't mind my saying so, Camilla, I've never seen you in such a dark

mood. Yes, I know. I'm sorry.

Come on. Let's sit down.

Get away from these burning coals.

There was Willie.

I got the first real money I could call my own from him.

That's got me started.

Oh, but don't get me started on Willie.

If he hadn't died, I think I'd have murdered him.

But I thought he was the great love of your life.

Oh, he was.

But we were so passionate, we never stopped fighting.

And then there was Trevor.

No, no, no. Then there was Binky.

Binky had the stately home, but not a beam.

And then there was dear.

Darling Trevor and his asthma.

I got the title.

And now there's Ronnie.

I don't dare tell you what I got from him.

Should I dare to ask?

Look.

What?

See this room?

Where? Right here.

Is that what you got from Ronnie?

No, that's not what I got from Ronnie.

I'm blind as a bat. I walked into a wall.

Well, then what did you get from Ronnie? A surprise.

A very big surprise.

I think he's trying to kill me.

Really?

What makes you think that?

Well, he said that I exasperated him so much that sometimes he wished I was

dead.

Well, that's not exactly like trying to kill you now, is it?

Well, in all fairness, I suppose not.

You fell in love with Jonathan for his moral fiber, didn't you?

Well, yes, Sam.

I've never been a good judge of character, Jennifer.

I never judge them for their moral fiber. I never have.

He may not be trying to kill me, but he's up to something with someone.

With someone?

Oh, you know something?

I'm scared.

I know that sounds funny, but really, I'm scared.

Now I've ruined my mascara.

Did you hear me, darling?

What is that?

What is that?

Oh, boy, look at this. Come on, come on.

What is this?

What are we doing? Is this a surprise?

Surprise. Come on, come on, come on.

I knew it.

Oh. I saw you looking out an encoffinance window.

Were you keeping an eye on me?

Both of them. I never let you out of my sight.

Oh, it's beautiful.

You like it? I love it.

Well, you are my bird. You know that, don't you, darling? Yes, I do. Dude,

us a kiss.

Which side should I wear it on, this side or this?

I like it there. Oh, good.

Oh, freeway.

Now, you be a good boy.

That's right.

Madame?

This car is going up. Up? Yes.

There you are. Mr. Honeycutt, do you say that housekeeping has not helped you?

No, that's why I called you. That friend of Sean Bray, Aline, went off to the

linen closet and never came back.

Edna, my wife's been waiting in the shower, waiting for dry towels for a

hour. Excuse me.

We're in Honeycutt, Hannibal, Missouri.

Hiya, friend. I don't think Aline understood my French.

Maybe you should have spoken English to her. Darling, the elevator.

Elaine! Elaine!

We lost it.

This is Vern Honeycutt from Hannibal, Missouri. This is my wife, Jennifer.

Hi. How do you do?

Nice to meet you.

Elaine?

Elaine?

Elaine! What are you doing on the floor of the hallway?

With a handkerchief around your head like this?

You're all tied up.

I was getting the towels for Mr. Yonikot from Animal Dessert.

And the next thing I know, I wake up with a lump on my head the size of a

mousse. Size of a poplar what?

A grapefruit, Mr. Yonikot. You see, this is the reason. Why don't you try

talking to the maid in our room?

What maid?

The night maid.

Night maid?

What night maid?

Miss, your heart. Night housekeeping doesn't come on for another half an

Call a house detective.

Aw, shucks. You nice folks are going to be late for your concert, and it's all

because of me.

We'll catch the second act, Vern. That's when there'll be playing our song.

She must have got her way through the service office.

That makes sense.

You didn't recognize this woman, did you?

No, I didn't.

I really didn't.

And you, Madame Hart?

I didn't either.

Truck driver on the bridge this afternoon said that it was a woman who

from your friend's vehicle.

This has all been too much excitement for me. I need a cigar to chew on. How

about you, detective?

I've quit smoking.

Again. But maybe a chocolate.

Nightmaid left in such a hurry she forgot her basket of treats.

I'll have just one.

That's the main reason I come to Canada.

You can still get a good Havana Panatella. Anyone else?

Nothing. No, thanks.

Pillow mint?

No, thanks.

Well, thanks for everything.

Merci, Monsieur Honeycutt.

Nothing's still been stolen, so you still don't have to come down with me.

Darling, we'll miss the concert.

You were lucky she missed you.

I think I was lucky that she didn't really know how to use a gun.

Not that an amateur thief seems as persistent as a professional.

Anyway.

Bonne soirée, Madame Hart, Monsieur Hart.

What is it that's so

special about Max's gift?

Whoever stole Kurt's car obviously wanted our clock.

Well, anyone would want it.

Look, did you ever notice that from 1 to 12, there's a message from Mother

Nature? All day, all night.

The cat is chasing the mouse. The mouse is chasing the bird. The bird is chasing

the bee.

Naturally. The birds and the bees.

The bee is bothering the blossom.

The tortoise is after the hare.

Looks like a rabbit to me. Looks like he's chasing another rabbit. Well,

naturally. And the hound is chasing the fox. And the fox is after the... After

the furrier.

And guess what?

What?

The boy is chasing the girl.

Oh, maybe the girl is chasing the boy.

Well, haven't you?

No, it's all right.

I like your head.

Ain't nature grand?

I did it. That's right. For the second time, I didn't get it.

I managed to steal Camilla's old passport, bribe the pharmacist for a

the prescription, and you can't hang on to it long enough for us to blackmail

her. Go on and say it.

I failed you again.

How could you be so stupid in the first place?

Why didn't you put it in the safe instead of that stupid clock?

I do a lot of stupid things.

Falling in love, for instance.

Falling in love can be lethal.

Camilla found that out with Trevor.

I've never asked you.

How did you find out?

Pillow talk.

You must have a wealth of information from a wealth of women. I'm only

interested in wealth.

This gun's been fired.

Yes, it has.

You didn't hit anyone, did you? No.

Failed again.

What do you mean?

The hearts left, but then he suddenly came back.

I panicked and fired.

Great. Now the cops have got something to trace.

We don't even get out of hotel rooms in the city where I live.

Well, that'd be all I'd need, some doorman that reads a tabloid to see me

out of your apartment.

Your wife's frame is repaired and ready for pickup.

Why don't you be a good boy and go get it for Mama?

What am I doing here?

No charge.

Commercial payments for my mistakes.

Vivian, the Harts are going to a concert tonight.

Check it out.

Go home to your wife, Ronnie.

Come on, we've got a great future here. Let's not blow it now.

Get out.

Get out.

Get out, Ronnie!

Did she get it?

You don't see it in my hands, do you? And I can tell you it's not in my pocket

either. The heart's still got it.

Well, I'm sure they do.

Find them and get it.

I don't care what you have to do.

Understand?

All right, let's go.

I can't believe you brought it. I don't want to let it out of my sight.

You sure you don't want to check it? No, I don't.

We can take those two seats back to here. We're a bad place. No.

No. You pay for those seats, and they're yours.

Out. Out.

Madam,

would you like me to check that parcel for you?

Thanks to you, it was quite another experience for me.

I really am sorry.

I think we'd better go collect our clock.

I think we'd better head for the hills.

Oh,

this is back in the parcel room. One moment.

May I borrow your pen, Mr. Hart?

Well,

that's two.

Why would anyone want to shoot someone for our clock?

Now something has been stolen.

And I guess you want us to come down to headquarters, right?

How did you guess?

Claude.

Claude, no smoking there.

Detective, in the lobby, smoking is permitted.

Smoking is not permitted there in the lobby. Smoking is permitted here next to

me.

I'd like a little secondary pleasure, if you don't mind.

That poor man.

It was only a flesh wound. He fainted.

Probably at the sight of his own blood.

Well, it'll be interesting to see if the bullet that clipped him is the same

kind as the one that missed me.

Yeah.

We can go now in my car.

It's the unmarked one. Remember?

So, how long are you planning to grace us with your presence in Montreal?

Oh, is that your way of telling us not to leave town?

Au contraire. I mean no offense, but I wish you would leave.

We're seeing far too much of each other, don't you think?

Not until we get our clock back.

I thought not.

I know, Madame Hart, you don't like thieves.

May I have my pen back, detective?

Oh, yes, of course.

Shall we?

to finally got it.

I don't believe it.

What a mess.

It's strange.

But nothing much here seems to be missing.

You're right.

Just trashed.

I don't understand how anyone... Don't worry.

You and Vivienne, you've been through it.

And not that much has broken.

Just trashed.

Big time trashed.

Watch this.

Junior.

Look at this. Come on, Junior.

Kurt, good morning.

Really good.

Give me some more. Yes.

We'll be right over.

I'm on.

What was that?

Somebody turned the antique shop upside down.

I get shot at and our clock is stolen and now this. Three strikes, you're out.

At least now we're up.

It'll be okay.

Marie.

You come by for your envelope from Uncle Max and look what you get instead.

Another surprise.

We phoned Vivian and got her machine.

She must be on her way.

Who would have done such a vicious thing?

Maybe they were looking for something.

Like what?

I don't know.

Maybe they thought they'd find money or something really valuable.

Oh, there's Vivian now.

I'd better go to her.

Are you okay? I'm fine.

Please don't worry about me.

Should I go with you?

No, I better speak to her alone.

Excuse me.

Where's Vivian?

She just went to the office.

What did she say?

Didn't say a word.

She must be in shock.

You better go see about her.

Hello?

Blondie?

This was between you and me.

Now the shop is ruined.

I hope you're satisfied.

What makes you think whoever did it had anything to do with me?

Because I know it was you.

Right where I want it.

You know, the police are very interested in who shot that usher.

Really?

Well, why don't you tell them who it was?

And why?

Why do you know so much?

I couldn't help overhearing.

Why have you done this to me?

You'd do anything for Kurt, wouldn't you?

I don't know.

I don't think I'd do anything for him that I thought was wrong.

No, you wouldn't.

That's where you and I are different.

I fell in love with the wrong man.

And I didn't care what I did when I thought he loved me.

And now you don't believe that anymore.

Now I think he's just using me.

Vivian, come to your senses.

It's too late.

I shot a man to get a clerk.

Vivian.

My life is ruined anyway.

Don't say that, Will.

Contact a good lawyer. We go to the police together. No.

I want you to help me do something.

He's going to tip them off somehow.

But I'm going to get him before he gets me.

I want you to drive me somewhere.

I have nothing left to lose.

Okay, I'll do whatever you want.

I'll go wherever you want.

Just don't hurt yourself.

Put the gun down.

Put the gun down.

with Marie. She's got a gun.

What?

There they are.

Come on, Junior.

I think the heart's behind us.

Don't let them catch us, Marie. Try to lose them. Please.

Trying, Vivienne.

I'm trying.

Where could she possibly be going?

I can't imagine.

Well, they must have something in mind.

Be careful, darling. Remember, she's got a gun.

What? You almost missed that.

Run to stop sign. No! Run to stop sign for eight!

Are you trying to kill us?

Drive. That was close.

What are they doing?

Beats me.

We'll find out.

Put the gun down, please.

Just do as I ask.

This is strange.

Looks like we're on a race course.

That's because we are.

Don't get too close, boys. My pants.

This

is

it.

Turn here.

Are they all right?

I'm all right.

Marie! Please help Vivian.

Something's wrong.

Darling. Kurt! Oh, Junior.

Darling.

Look at this.

Ronnie and Vivian.

Now they're the couple.

Amazing.

Are you talking to me?

Do you know, darling, I really think you might make it as an actor after all.

I love it when you show me your talent.

Well, it's a part I've been working hard on for a long time.

Well, it's not faint praise, but I thought your performance was very

You're a tough critic.

So I'm always pleased with any sort of praise from you.

I can't believe she had this secret life.

She was such a sad person, even as a little girl.

But she was always happy when Uncle Max came to visit me.

He paid attention to her, too.

He took us for carousel rides.

She loved that.

She loved...

Oh, my God.

The wind in her face.

That was the last thing that she said before she fell.

The wind loves us.

We used to say that every lovely, warm summer.

That's a good idea, Kurt.

I think I have to be by myself now.

Oh, I have to give you the last envelope.

Oh, that's a good idea.

Yes,

I do.

That's what Uncle Max wanted.

Well, we'll come and pick it up.

I wonder what Vivian did with the clock.

Vivian had the clock?

That's what she said.

Maybe it wasn't Vivian who wanted the clock at all.

Maybe it was Ronnie who wanted it.

Interesting idea.

Maybe Camilla's suspicion wasn't so wrong.

Maybe it's like Kurt's car.

Vivian wasn't trying to steal the car.

She was trying to steal the clock that was in the car.

A clock that everyone and their brother is after. After all. Maybe it was

something that was in the clock.

What if we invite Camilla and Ronnie to dinner?

Well, if we did, maybe we'd find out.

Maybe.

Hello.

Jonathan.

Tonight?

No, no, no, no, no, no. I adore Sparrow at the moment.

We'd love to.

Um, 8 .30? Sparrow identified the woman who fell from the tower of the biosphere

as Vivian Blaine, partner in an antique shop on Rue Notre Dame.

Police are investigating the accident to see if foul play... What's the matter,

darling?

Uh, that's the shop where I took the picture frame to be fixed.

The girl that died waited on me.

How tragic.

After all, she was just... She was just a sales girl. I didn't know her.

Now, go if not.

How could you?

Shocking, the coincidence of it all, I guess.

Well, violence is all around us these days.

People don't even feel safe in their own beds.

Don't you feel safe in your bed, Camilla?

Shouldn't I?

No wonder our frame wasn't repaired.

I was too busy stealing your cloak.

Are you sure she stole it?

Oh, we know she did.

You know what she did with it?

We know what we did with it.

You have the clock?

Have another drink, old sport?

No, thanks.

It's getting past my bedtime.

Oh, Ronnie, that's not like you.

You're usually a real party animal.

Oh, I don't know about the party.

And it is our last night.

Well, you're not leaving tomorrow.

Just as soon as we pick up our clock.

Pick it up? I thought you said you had it. Oh, it needed a few touch -ups.

So we took it back to Kurt, the artist who created it.

Got a little bruised with all the attention it's been getting lately.

It happened.

They're playing my favorite song.

Would you like to dance?

I'd love to.

If Jennifer wouldn't mind me having him alone on the dance floor.

Not at all.

In fact, I'm so happy that we've gotten our clock back, I wouldn't mind a turn

myself.

Well, my dance card is filled, but I'm sure that Ronnie here's got a lot of

rhythm.

Ronnie?

I'm really not much of a dancer, eh? Oh, I'll bet that's a lie.

Shall we dance?

I'd love it.

Must you really leave Montreal so

soon? Well, now that we have our clock back, there's really no reason to stay.

No reasons, Jonathan.

What have you got in mind?

Negotiation.

Ashley motives.

What else?

First, you don't want to sell. Then you do.

What's going on?

What would you say to a partnership?

Oh, I don't know.

We're both sort of all or nothing people.

You really do know me so well.

Well enough.

Well, if you stay in town a little while longer, maybe I'll make you an offer

you just can't refuse.

Perhaps I could be of help and have the clock packed and sent to you.

Oh, Ronnie.

How very generous of you.

But we're so attached to it.

We don't want its hands to leave our hands.

Oh, Ronnie, you are a wonderful dancer. I imagine Vivian thought so, too.

Shall we change partners?

Love it.

Thank you so much.

That was cute.

Says that.

How'd it go?

I think he thinks we have it.

And I don't think he can think of anything else.

Look. They're back at the table.

That was wonderful, Camilla.

Like another dance?

Look, I've had enough. I'd like to get some air.

Oh, that sounds great. I'd like a little fresh air myself. How about you,

darling? Wonderful.

Camilla? On the other hand, it's late, and I need to get up early, so why don't

we just go home?

Fine. There's certainly enough air in the country for both of us.

Good night, and thank you.

Good night.

Good night.

I'm sorry.

Well, things were certainly different.

You know, it's funny.

I've never seen Ronnie so eager to get to bed.

Good night.

All right.

Instead of taking the air, Ronnie, you should have taken a taxi.

Where's the clock?

If you don't tell me, I'm going to kill you.

It's not here.

You said you had it. Where is it?

That's what we'd all like to know.

Vivian told you about us.

Hey, Ronnie, we travel too.

London, Paris, Rome.

Just like you.

You call the police, Kurt?

Yeah, just as you asked.

I told you don't move.

Darling, are you all right?

Yeah, I'm all right.

I'm okay.

What about you?

But you don't look so fine. It's got quite a punch.

And a pretty good kick, too. And in the dark.

Let's get out of here.

I'm sorry, Lady Ashley. But your husband is wanted for breaking and entering and

attempted murder.

Attempted murder?

Mr. and Mrs. Hardin, their artist friend, said that he shot at them late

night and then ran away.

I can't believe it. Why would he do that to them?

We've come to take Mr. Scott in for questioning.

I'm very sorry, but my husband didn't come home last night.

You see, we haven't been getting along very well lately, and...

I doubt whether he'll be back at all.

Ever. Yes, I do see.

But I assure you that if he does come back, I'll let your office know right

away. I know we're talking about a person to whom you're married, but I

insist.

Some people might be reluctant given such an attracted relationship, but I've

always believed it's better not to fight City Hall.

As you've probably heard, Lady Ashley, you can't.

Good day.

Good day.

had me convinced.

Maybe I should be taking acting lessons from you.

I think you ought to take them from someone.

I'd stay out of sight if I were you.

Why, this place is in the middle of nowhere.

They'd be watching this house if it were in the middle of Piccadilly Circus.

You can't hide here.

What are you saying?

Are you throwing me to the wolves?

A dozen head of wolf to be thrown to the wolves.

You've been having an affair with that Vivian creature, haven't you?

Camilla, she didn't mean a thing to me.

You stole an old passport of mine from the safe in England. You gave it to her.

You were going to blackmail me.

All right.

I was scared.

I thought you were going to leave me with nothing.

Oh, you don't lie convincingly, Ronnie.

It was Vivian who phoned me the night of the book signing.

Well, that was her stupid idea.

You're going to double -cross her, too.

Her shop was just a convenient place for you to stash stuff until you put the

bite on me.

Then it was going to be, goodbye, Vivian, until something went wrong.

Well, you seem to have it all figured out.

Oh, yes.

And now it's going to be, goodbye, Ronnie.

And this time, nothing is going to go wrong, because when I'm in control,

what happens.

Well, you wouldn't want my two employees here to mess up that beautiful face of

yours now, would you?

Paul and Henri are very good at what they do.

They may work for you, but you work for me.

I am your employer and therefore theirs.

Checkmate.

Sorry, darling. The boys work for me.

We've always worked for her.

You better stick to your bad acting.

What are you going to have them do to me?

Just take you to the airport.

I don't want revenge, Ronnie.

I just want you as far away from me as possible.

But you said you loved me.

Oh, I did.

In my fashion.

But being in love is a career in itself.

It takes up far too much time and energy.

And besides, I already have a career.

Ashley Motors?

That's really who you are, isn't it?

Absolutely.

Ashley Motors is a metaphor for my life.

A long time ago, I decided to travel that open road that most men travel.

What's a metaphor?

Ask your acting teacher.

You should be grateful to me, darling, that you're going away instead of being

slung in jail.

Hello, Jonathan.

Oh.

Well, how terrible. How's Jennifer?

Here you are.

Well,

what's really important about this ghastly experience is that you're both

piece. Two pieces.

One and a half.

I am really shocked that Ronnie could do such a thing.

You know, I'm not talking about attempted murder.

Oh, no.

Oh, no.

I told him that I thought he was capable of that.

But breaking and entering, that is really surprising.

What's in the clock, Camilla?

Jonathan, what a question.

Oh, you've got the clock. You should know. We only said that because we

to see if Ronnie would take the bait.

And he did.

He bit hook, line, and sinker.

So you don't have the clock?

Well, I must say it's all terribly intriguing, but then anything you two do

always terribly intriguing.

We thought maybe Ronnie told you what was in the clock.

Ronnie never tells me anything.

I never knew why he wanted the clock. I certainly never knew he was having an

affair with that woman.

I don't even know where he is.

He's completely disappeared.

Well, I must say, Camilla, you don't seem very upset by his disappearance.

You're right.

I'm not.

In fact, I'm relieved.

Now I can leave Montreal in peace.

Yes, we're going to leave too.

Just as soon as we go and say goodbye to those nice people at the antique shop.

Really? Yes, it does seem like a waste of time waiting around to see if

something turns up.

I mean, it could be next week, next year.

Maybe never.

Well,

it's only been divine seeing you again.

And if you do decide to sell Ashley Motors, let me be the first to get the

It's a deal.

But don't hang by the thumbs, Jonathan.

I can be almost as stubborn as you can.

Goodbye, Jennifer.

Goodbye, Camilla.

This is too triste.

I hope everything works out the way you want it to.

It usually does.

And I hope the same for you, too.

Thank you for lunch and bon voyage, mes amis.

Smart lady.

What do you think?

Maybe we hooked another one.

Paul?

Henri?

Did you see him onto the plane?

Yes. Right.

Well, now what I want you to do is I want you to watch the Hart's Hotel and I

want you to check out the antique shop and watch everyone very, very carefully.

You think they suspect why we want the clock?

Yeah. I'd stake my life on it.

You don't know Jonathan Hart like I do.

We're very much alike.

He never gives up and neither do I.

Even if I had to have you kill them.

What is it, morning?

Oh, did I wake you?

What are you doing up?

Just thinking about our clock.

Oh, it reminds me, what time is it?

Early.

It must be early if freeway's not up.

Marie and Vivian used to say the wind loves us when they rode the carousel.

Marie said they used to shout it to each other.

That was the last thing Vivian said before she fell.

I'll never forget it.

What are you thinking?

Well, I'm thinking that maybe Vivian was trying to tell Marie something.

Like where she had hidden Kurt's clock.

On the carousel?

Well... In it or under it or around it. I don't know.

You want to go visit the amusement park?

Do you think it's too early to call Marie and ask her to meet us there?

Not over there.

No.

Want a cafe au lait?

Make it a double.

Hello, this is Jonathan Hart.

Could you send us up two cafe au laits, please?

And a little something to soothe the soul of the savage beast.

Thanks.

Are you really leaving town?

No. We thought if we take it by to Camilla, we might force her to make a

Well, it worked with Ronnie.

Well, what do you think?

Maybe. It's so charming, I can understand how it would leave an

Vivienne couldn't forget it.

Right up to the end.

Well, should we give it a try?

Come on.

Come on.

Come on, Freeway. Come on.

Up there.

Good boy.

Boy.

Go on.

Go on.

There's nothing up here.

Freeway.

I caught you before you left.

Well, if it isn't La Dame O 'Camilla.

Long time no see.

It worked a second time. I wonder what that says about our telling people we're

leaving town.

It means they go crazy trying to check out your duty -free items.

What are we going to do about Lady Ashley?

I'll, uh, leave her to you.

What goes around comes around.

Oh.

I said, give me the check.

Are you sure you want it?

If I don't take it, Paul and Henri will.

Well, then I'll give it to you.

But, uh, Kurt and I have some surprises for Paul and Henri.

Right, Kurt?

over the clock and dark.

Jonathan!

Home run, darling!

Over the bed!

Gertrude Sislinski?

Gertrude Sislinski?

Jonathan!

Who?

Have you ever heard of Timolomaliate eyedrops?

No.

Well, this is a prescription for Timolomaliate eyedrops. It said not to

by people with asthma.

How's it work? It leaves you breathless.

As Trevor found out.

You used your old passport with your real name to have that prescription

out, didn't you?

Yes, it was quick and painless and... Poor Trevor didn't feel a thing.

I really liked him.

Yeah.

And you loved his money, too.

So what about Ronnie?

He's in custody.

Never got further than Toronto.

Get in, Miss Lashinsky.

Lady Ashley, please.

What a dreadful vehicle.

Detective Lashley, have you ever been in the driver's seat of an Ashley?

Not really.

Get in.

Au revoir, Jonathan.

I'll be untold, Jennifer.

The bullet that missed you and the one that clipped the coat attendant were

fired by Vivian's gun, which was registered to Mr. Skye.

Ronnie's gun. Yeah.

Detective Vachon, that is what is known as a smoking gun.

Uh -huh.

What the heck?

So, this is where we say goodbye.

And here's the last envelope.

Before we open it... If Max could arrange three envelopes for us, we can

one for you.

This will help you repair the antique shop.

And as Max always said, get on with the exciting business of life.

I guess he gave me that piece of advice when I was about 15 years old.

He always said that life is truly exciting if you only live it.

And Max lived it to... Well, I guess you'd say he lived it to

the Max.

We won't forget that.

And you promise you'll come to our wedding?

We wouldn't miss it for the world.

We'll be there.

Bye, Kurt. Goodbye. Thanks for everything. Goodbye.

Kurt.

Uh, so?

Stop walking.

Over there.

Right.

Come on, Junior. Go on, open it.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. H, I know by now you must have got yourselves in a mess of

trouble. Like you always do, and got out of it too by now.

So it's time you looked at the clock and stopped and smelled the roses and the

coffee and the Canadian bacon.

Now you're walking, but don't look up yet.

Okay? Now, stop.

And now, Mr. and Mrs. H., raise your heads to the right.

Wow. Is that the surprise?

That's right.

You got it.

I want you to sail up to St. Lawrence on this ship and get on with what I told

you in the first place.

My devotion to you and for you is for now and for eternity.

And as usual, I'll be there to buzz you in the gate.

Max.

Well, shall we get on with it?
