Is the governor in?

No, he took some people out to
Meadowland Industrial Park.

Well, what's that?

One of my dumb school projects.

Well, what's it going to be when it's
finished?

It is finished.

Oh.

Uh, what is it?

You mean you can't tell?

Of course I can.

Surface of the moon.

Close. It's an Indian village.

These silver things are cheapies.

Katie, very few Indians made their
teepees out of aluminum foil.

You can find some construction paper.
I'll show you how to make a teepee. You

will? Gee, thanks, Marcy.

How come you didn't offer to help?

Well, sometimes the best help is no help
at all.

Well, that is what you are, no help at
all.

Look, Marcy, we can cover the teepees
with this leather, which I found in my

clothes closet.

This is one of your old nightgowns,
isn't it?

Very good idea, Miss Krause. I've got
some green felt at home, so maybe I can

make some ground cover and some trees.

Maybe we'll even put a canoe in the
lake.

Don't make it look too good. The
government will take it away from the

I'll get started on the teepees.

Oh, yes, it is an ideal industrial site.
Oh, Benson, have you met Miss Walker?

No. How do you do, sir? How do you do?

Benson's my director of household
affairs.

Well, I'm sure I'm happy to meet you.

This is Mrs. Walker.

It isn't. It isn't? It is. Told you.

It can't be.

Benson, this is Mrs. Walker. She is
married to Mr. Walker of Walker

I can't believe it.

You're married to her?

To the best of my knowledge, yes.

Well, what do you know?

Everything, I hope.

Benson. Carol.

Benson. Oh, Carol.

big, warm welcome for old friends.

I just love reunions, don't you?

Benson, you look wonderful.

I told you about Benson, didn't I, dear?

Are you that Benson who was taking Carol
out when she fell in love with me?

Well, no, actually, I'm the Benson who
was taking Carol out when she fell in

love with your car.

adjourn to your office and conclude our
business?

Taylor, we are a long way from
concluding anything.

Howard, I really can't understand how it
is that you can resist the tax

incentives we're offering. Sir, we
haven't offered them yet.

Oh, that's it.

Well, well, isn't this something? How
long has it been since you two have seen

one another?

Ten years.

Twenty years. No.

Yes. That's not possible.

It may not be possible, but it's true.
I'm not that...

Yes, you are.

Vince, you haven't changed.

You mean he's always been this charming?

Always. I'll never forget the day you
got married.

Oh? Yeah, it was October the 10th, a
cold and rainy Saturday.

Now, how on earth did you remember that?

Well, I'd been hanging outside the
chapel crying in the rain. I caught

and they took me to the hospital. Oh.

And I heard you were so brokenhearted
the day you left. the hospital, you took

one of the nurses with you.

Two. They were small.

Marcy, would you come in, please?

Now? And bring your pen.

Just when you were getting to the good
part.

You gave me nothing but good things to
remember.

Same here.

I hope you mean that.

We came close.

Just didn't work out, that's all.

So, Mrs. Warren,

Isn't it wonderful?

Whoever thought Howard would be so
successful?

You did.

Are you all moving into the state or
what? Well, Howard's got eight factories

spread out over three states, and he's
thinking about consolidating them here.

Eight factories?

I said it was wonderful.

For Howard.

How about you?

Look, we're only going to be here for a
week. Why don't you and I have lunch?

Now, there's an idea.

One of the worst I ever heard.

and it'll be just like the old days.

In the old days, we didn't get around to
lunch.

We're older now. We need the
nourishment.

Come on, give me one good reason we
can't have lunch.

Carol, there is one.

Come in and join us, please. In a
minute.

Howard, would you mind if I had lunch
with Benson?

Not at all.

He's on the governor's staff. You can
write it off, my dear.

You heard him. Yeah, he's writing me and
the lunch off at the same time.

Come on.

Please.

Okay.

See you after tomorrow?

Great. Around 12 .30? Mm -hmm.

We're at the Marquis Plaza.

Come on up to the suite. No, no, no.
I'll meet you in the lobby.

Thank you.

We're only going to have lunch and talk
about old times. What are you afraid of?

Old times.

Do you like it, J .D.? Oh, sure.

But I'm sort of feeling guilty that I
haven't been much help on this. Oh?

um, as soon as Marcy is finished, you
can help put it away.

There. How does the canoe look?

Neat. Yeah, considering it is paper
-painted to look like birch bark instead

the real thing.

I'm sorry, I just didn't have the time
to go out and skin a tree.

I don't know how you can stick on my
canoe when you've got a Navajo rug

right outside a Sioux teepee.

That rug took a whole day to knit, and
it stays.

Well, I'm sure it does, but how can you
logically explain its being there?

Somebody brought it in a fake canoe.

Hi, Marcy. Any coals? Yeah, just that
one on your desk.

So, how was lunch?

Overcooked. Besides overcooked? Cold.
Oh, come on, Benson. I was there when

old flame walked in. I saw those sparks
flying.

Well, that was it. Just sparks. The fire
died out a long time ago.

Could this wait?

So, what happened?

Well, Marcy, it was all kind of sad.

Most people fall in love and get
married.

Carol got married and then fell in love.

With her husband?

Of course with her husband.

So what's the problem?

He doesn't have time for her anymore.

So?

Well, then she talked and I listened.
She cried and I consoled. She got angry

and I calmed her.

Then the wealthiest woman I know stuck
me with the chick.

Were you expecting more?

No.

But you were.

You still care about her.

Oh, yeah, I can't stop caring about her.
She meant a lot to me.

What kind of a guy takes his wife to an
industrial park for a vacation?

Oh, stop.

This was a vacation?

You know, from everything you told me, I
figured she had everything.

Everything except Howard.

Unfortunately, that's the price a wife
pays sometimes when the husband becomes

rich and powerful.

You know, this never would have happened
to her if she'd married you.

Sir. Sit down.

I can't. Governor, Benson has single
-handedly ruined your political career.

don't know that, Taylor. Oh, please. We
had Walker electronic components in the

palm of our hand.

They are tiny little things, aren't
they?

No, Governor. The factories.

The factories that we lost last night.

Come in.

Marcy said it was important.

What's the problem?

Benson, I heard some very disturbing
news this morning.

Oh? Oh.

We were counting on Walker Components
building a plant here.

Yeah? Yeah.

And I was confident that if Howard did,
other industrialists would follow suit.

Meadowland's an ideal site for all sorts
of industry.

Well, of course it is, because if I had
a plant, that's exactly where I'd put

it. Good. There's plenty of room for it.

But what's that got to do with me?
What's that got to do with me?

Mr. Walker was to sign the papers today.
He just called and said the deal's off.

The deal's off?

Did he say why?

Why? Yes, why?

Don't act innocent, Benson. You know
perfectly well why.

Mrs. Walker just informed Mr.

Walker that she is leaving him.

She's leaving him?

What for?

For you.

Oh, my God.

How could you do this, Benson?

Just as we were trying to nail down a
deal with Mr. Walker, you were nailing

Walker's wife.

Carol, you keep flapping your tongue.
I'm going to nail your mouth shut.

Please. I will not tolerate this type of
discussion.

Sir, Mrs. Walker left Mr.

Walker for Benson. What is left to
discuss?

Plenty. Marcy, I can handle this.

Well, you've done a lousy job of it so
far.

So what if Carol and Benson had a thing
once?

So what? What if they had a hot, torrid
romance and could hardly keep their

hands off one another?

Marcy, do you mind?

All that is past, Taylor. It's over.

He isn't a hot, wild, young thing
anymore. He's... Marcy?

Matured.

Some things get better with age.

Like cheese.

None of this is true, Taylor. Where did
you hear it, anyway?

From Mr.

Walker. Well, Mr.

Walker is wrong.

He got it from a very reliable source.
Oh, really?

Who? Mrs. Walker.

Oh, really?

You still got it, kid.

Thanks very much for the help, Marty. I
don't know what I would have done

without it.

It seems the Walkers had an argument
last night, and Carol said if Howard

have time for her, she knew a man who
did.

Then she packed her bags and left the
hotel.

Where are you hiding her, Benson? I'm
not hiding her anywhere.

Kaylee, you have jumped to some
remarkably asinine conclusions.

Carol may have mentioned Benson's name,
but when people are angry, they say a

lot of things they don't mean. Please,
Marcy, I got it from the horseman.

I know how to get to the bottom of this.

Benson, are you breaking up the Walker's
marriage?

No! All right, that clears that up.

Maybe for you, but someone I care about
is getting hurt.

Where are you going? I'm going to talk
to Howard. Oh, I wouldn't talk to him

now. He's very upset.

He's upset?

I'm getting blamed for something I
haven't done in 20 years.

you the same thing. I thought you hit
the road.

You mean you know about last night? Know
about it? Your husband would make a

hell of a town crier.

Where is Howard? He went out.

Looking for me?

I don't know.

Is he armed?

Don't be silly. I don't know where he
is. He was gone when I got back this

morning. You stayed out all night?

I was walking and thinking.

While Howard sat here steaming. I didn't
know what to do.

You were full of ideas last night.

This is wonderful. He probably thinks
you were out with me all night.

I know that's what I would think. Well,
explain it to him as soon as he gets

back.

You want some coffee?

Coffee? Are you out of your mind, Karen?

We don't know what's in your husband's
mind. You're asking me if I want to

his coffee.

I'm sorry, Vincent.

It's all my fault.

You got that right.

Oh, no, no, no. Don't start that. Come
on.

Well, I don't mind getting dragged in
just so I don't get carried out.

I don't know what got into me. I
deliberately tried to make him feel

Oh, really?

Well, congratulations.

It worked.

I've never seen Howard like this. I
don't understand it.

Well, if he sees us like this, he won't
understand it.

Right.

I'm going to go and see if I can find
him.

I can't move any way at all.

You've got to. Just don't look down.

Don't what? Look down.

Carol.

Benson, I've got to open the door. By
the time I get to this door, you better

out of sight.

Carol, you left the chain on the door.

taking a nap.

Where were you last night?

Never mind.

I don't really want to know.

Carol, I'm grateful that you're safe,
but now that you're back, I'm leaving.

You've never been jealous.

You've never given me reason to be
jealous before.

Howard, there is nothing between Benson
and me. Carol, you are between me and

the door.

3 -4 -0 -1.

Please send someone up to get my
luggage.

Well, the ratatouille set up a net down
there.

Yes, yes.

Yes, five minutes will be just fine.

Forgive the intrusion, Carol.

Not at all. Please, come in. I just
couldn't let you leave without at least

trying to resolve what appears to be
some kind of misunderstanding.

I appreciate your concern, Governor, but
I don't care to discuss it.

Vision control.

Mr. Walker, this is a very delicate
matter. I realize it's no one's affair

yours. Benson!

Sir, please.

Forgive him. He's under great strain.
But he was just here outside the window.

Heaven, that's impossible.

Not really.

Benson? What are you doing out here?

Enjoying the view.

Aren't you afraid of catching cold?

Frankly, sir, catching a cold is at the
bottom of the list.

Benson,

it is perfectly clear what's going on
here. But you'll just have to stay out

here until Howard leaves.

You can do it. Just stay calm. You come
out here and try to stay calm.

Benson, I've done a little mountain
climbing, you know.

Taylor, look down.

Benson, why don't you come on in now? I
can't, sir. I was here with Carol when

Howard came in.

You mean Carol was out here with you?
No, no, no, no, no.

Whoa. You picked the perfect spot for
it. I'd never think to look for you out

here. Find out what he's doing.

What he's doing?

He's in the bathroom.

Well, help me in.

I'm going to try to make it to the door.

Governor, he can't come in. The entire
project's in jeopardy. But it's cold out

there. Sir, we're talking about $100
million in revenue here. Oh, but can we

a price on a man's health?

Can we talk about this tomorrow?

Mr.

Walker, can't we talk this out?

No, Taylor, we can't.

Coffee, anyone?

Yes, thank you.

Danish governor?

No, actually, I'm a mix.

Thank you. A little Irish.

Before you check out, don't you think
you should look in your drawers?

I beg your pardon?

I mean, you may have forgotten
something.

I have forgotten nothing.

I should just collect my toilet
articles, and then I shall be on my way.

I should like to speak with my wife.

Well, it's about time. I knew you two
would patch it up.

Sir, I think he wants us to leave.

Oh, no, we can't leave. No, not with
him.

Yes, you can.

Carol, Howard, I'm sorry about
everything. I hope everything turns out

fine.

Hang in there.

Sorry, Carol.

I can't afford all of this emotional
upheaval.

I have to run a business.

Howard, nothing happened. Carol, please.

I trusted you.

You've been running around with this
Benson fellow, and now you want to

me that nothing happened? Okay, that's
it.

Goodbye.

Hey, Howard, how you doing?

What were you doing in there?

Well, I was thinking of renting, but
it's a little small.

Nothing happened, eh, Carol?

Now, look, Howard, I could have let you
walk right out that door, and you'd

never known I was here, right?

You're not really going to try to waste
my time with an absurd explanation, are

you? You want to hear absurd?

What about two people busting up 20
years of marriage because they won't

five minutes to talk to one another?

Oh, we had lunch. That's all.

But you let me believe that something
was going on between you and Benton.

maybe she just wanted to see if you
cared enough to object.

You do object, don't you?

Strongly.

Yes, see, he does care.

Benton, I am perfectly capable of
telling my wife how I feel about her.

Well, then why?

Don't you?

Howard, I let this woman get away from
me once.

Now, if you're fooling up to leave her
here, I won't make that mistake again.

Howard, I'm sorry. No, no, no, no, no.

It's my fault.

I think we both owe Benson a phone call
to thank him.

All right.

I'll try to catch him down in the lobby.

You're welcome.

Take care of yourself, Shiger.

How's it look, Katie?

Like an A -plus.

Your ride's waiting, Katie.

One minute.

Mr. Walker signed the contracts
yesterday, Benson.

Oh, that's terrific.

Katie, you're going to be late.

Yeah, it is finished.

Do you like it, Benson?

Yeah, it's great.

Thank you.

You're doing nice work, Katie.

Well, I'll be carrying it out to the
car.

No, thanks, Miss Cross. I've decided to
take my aluminum teepees.

That kid's going to be all right. Wonder
why she didn't take the Indian village.

She can't take credit for that.

After all that work we did on it, it's
enough to drag me crazy.

She can't take credit for that either.
