All language subtitles for 1995 - Comfortably Numb

I guess we won't be playing much golf
together anymore.

We'll play golf.

I can't help but feel compelled to ask
you again. Please, Dad.

We've been through this already.

Let's just enjoy the day.

Oh, hell of a shot.

Looks like you're going to have to press
me on the back nine.

I know you feel as though we've been
through this already, but your mother

are having a very difficult time
understanding it.

Don't be surprised if the subject comes
up again tonight over dinner.

Oh. Is your apartment properly arranged?

Yes. I move in tomorrow.

And will your clothes be unpacked and
ready for your new career by Monday

morning?

I have a full working suit in the
closet.

And as I've told you before, Mother,
many times, it's not a career.

It's an aspiration.

Aspiration.

What is it that you are aspiring to?

All we want is a reasonable explanation,
son.

The only explanation I have is the one
that I've been giving you all along.

I want to try something different.

Something new.

Why can't you understand that?

We are trying to understand it.

I'm sorry if I've disappointed you.

Or both of you.

The decision's been made.

I can't change my mind.

How do you do, Mr. President? Call me
Mark.

Call me Will.

Thanks, Joe.

Doug,

you have any trouble finding the place?

Not at all. These one -way streets are
kind of confusing.

Would you take a cab?

Yes, sir.

Well, if you ever want to take the
subway, take the number six. Can't go

It lets you out right in front of the
city.

I just left Mr. Goldman's office. We
call him the chief around here.

He asked me to show you around and get
you started.

I'll bring you by his office at the end
of the day. He's looking forward to

meeting you. I look forward to meeting
him.

You'll rarely deal with him directly.

Most everything goes through me.

I'm the chief of the trial division.

I know more about this place than you
probably know about your own backyard.

There's an empty office down here. Come
on.

We'll set you up with a desk and a
chair.

This is home.

Eh, make the best of it.

I'll be back in a little while to show
you around.

We'll get you an ID, you'll meet some
people. By the time we're through,

feel like you've been here a week.

Hello? Hello, Mother.

Fine, how are you?

No, I just walked in.

I decided to work away.

Actually,

I thought I'd spend the remainder of the
evening setting up my stereo system.

Yeah, this room needs music.

Okay, before we go any further, I'd like
to say here and now, I'm not going to

be able to get any more work done on
this case.

Why's that?

Because your feet smell so bad, I'm
unable to think.

What are you talking? It's a fresh pair
of socks. I'm not talking about your

socks.

Oh, the nerve. I have to deal with that
horrible perfume every day.

Are you saying my perfume smells?

A lot more than my feet do.

You know what? Can I tell you what?

Why don't the two of you go outside and
take a shower? Then maybe we can get

some work done.

What's up, people?

Good morning, Mark.

We have a new lateral joining us. A Yale
man.

Mr. William Best.

Hamlin Day.

What's happening, man?

Laura Metcalf.

How you doing?

Kevin Murphy.

Orders from upstairs.

He's been assigned to the team. He's
going to listen and learn.

Go easy on him.

Have a seat.

I'd like to apologize about some of the
orders around here.

Well, now that your shoes are back on,
the order should clear up.

Anyone want a cup?

How do you take it?

Regular.

Why don't you get a couple cups for
yourselves?

Give me a cup and William a cup.

Will.

Will.

In the meantime, I'll brief Will on the
case.

Don't mind those two.

I know they sound like cats and dogs,
but they're really like brother and

sister.

Murph's in charge of the investigation.

And in my opinion, he's the best
researcher in the office.

Laura dots the I's, crosses the T's.

She's the best when it comes to details
and reading between the lines.

And you?

Me?

I've been here a little longer.

I'm a little more ambitious and, uh...

I had up the team.

Oh, the, uh, the machine is down the
hall to the right if you want one.

So is recess over?

You get some work done here or what?

Yes, sir. Thanks for the call.

Uh, the three of us have been working on
this case for about six weeks now.

We're prosecuting the owner of a
building who's been in and out of

Tenant Corp for eight years.

He owns buildings all over the city.

Heavy player in the real estate game.

This guy has been warned and cited for
every safety violation you could think

of. Every time he's brought up, he's
found guilty, he's fined, and he walks.

No one can figure it out.

Slipping through the crack syndrome.

This time, a three -year -old Hispanic
girl fell from a window ten stories, and

they found her impaled on an iron fence.

No window guard.

It was in all the papers.

Front page.

Vladimir Dorofsky.

The papers like to call him Vladimir the
Impaler.

Now, Miss Castagno, the mother of the
little girl, she lives over in East

Harlem. But she wants him as bad as we
do.

Nobody wants him as bad as the chief
does.

It's a biggie. We go to trial in three
weeks.

We're shooting for manslaughter, too.

Why don't you take a look at these in
the meantime?

Familiarize yourself with the case.

You got any questions?

Just ask.

Good night.

What are you still doing here?

I'm pretty ambitious myself.

They haven't burned their midnight oil,
huh?

Which way are you headed?

Uptown, 79th and Park.

That's a nice address.

I live a little further north.

We can share a cab.

My treat.

How long you been here?

I just moved here. I haven't even
unpacked.

You might want to step on that.

Took me two months to unpack when I
first started.

Work late every night. I still do.

Want to get ahead in this business, you
got to work to the hallways of dark and

empty. How about you? How long have you
been here?

Five years.

I don't plan on making it six.

Where do you plan on going? Papa.

Maybe I'll go where you just came from,
huh?

How do you know where I just came from?

It's not everything.

Maybe not for you, but for me, it's why
I went to law school.

You went to law school so you could make
money? Yeah, you're goddamn right.

Why did you go?

So I could do the right thing.

All right.

Well, maybe you can pay your rent by
doing the right thing.

But I pay mine by making money.

Good night, Connecticut. See you in the
morning.

Yeah. Hey, what are you doing? I thought
I told you this was on me.

My way of doing the right thing.

Yeah, no, I'm going to chuck you out at
the club. About 10 o 'clock?

Yeah, cool.

All right, ciao, baby.

I was just heading home. I thought we
might share a cab.

Not tonight, my friend.

I got a hot date.

Man, the most beautiful woman in the
world.

Real peacock. I haven't seen her in a
month.

I spoke to Miss Catano.

It's all set up.

She'll be here Monday morning.

Do you want me to arrange for an
interpreter?

I'll handle it.

All right.

Well, I guess I'll see you Monday
morning, bright and early.

Hey, Connecticut.

You got plans for dinner?

I know an Italian joint down the street.
It's great. I'm fucking starving to

death. You want to join me?

My treat.

It's delicious.

It's homemade.

Everything here is homemade.

I even think the napkins and the flour
are homemade.

Rosa Oceanus.

What's that?

A flower.

My mother grows them. She has a very
green thumb.

Oh, she's a gardener.

The word isn't even in her vocabulary.

She's a horticulture.

A horticulture?

She supervises an array of greenhouses.
She grows everything from the prosaic to

the exotic.

She takes great pride in it.

Is the word marijuana in her vocabulary?

It's about the only thing she doesn't
grow.

The flowers in my neighborhood were the
weeds growing through the cracks in the

sidewalk.

We didn't have too many of those where I
grew up.

Sprawling lawns and country clubs.

Pretty much.

Which leads me to the inevitable
question.

The only question.

What the fuck are you doing down here,
man?

What do you mean?

Oh, word has it that you were next in
line at the family firm.

The torch was being passed.

I don't know too many people who would
drop it.

Why does everyone seem to find it so
incomprehensible that I would want to

leave?

I was doing corporate and estate work.

I was making a lot of money doing very
little. That's not why I became a

That's right.

So you could do the right thing.

It's not only a matter of doing the
right thing.

It's a matter of doing the right thing
for me.

Not for my parents.

Not for you.

For me.

It's amazing.

That was a truly delicious meal.

You can get a meal like that in
Connecticut, huh?

Not an Italian one.

Which part are you from?

Greenwich. Old Greenwich.

How about you?

Brownsville.

You ever heard of it?

Pitkin Avenue.

I was given advice one day by this dude
in the neighborhood.

I was a little shorty, about six years
old.

He told me to learn how to run.

The faster you run, the less trouble you
get into.

That was the best advice I ever got. I
ran so fast, I got a track scholarship

St. John's.

Nobody could catch me.

Went to St. Jay's Law after that.

Still running.

All the way to the top.

Damn straight, I don't stop till I get
there. Thank you very much. Thank you.

What are you doing, man?

I thought I said this was my treat.

I just thought I'd pay, you know, to
thank you for bringing me here.

You got plans for the rest of the
evening?

I'm meeting this dame at a club.

You can join me if you like. One
condition.

Your hand does not go in your pocket.

The evening's on me. Case closed.

You got it?

Big shot?

Hey, the music is slapping, isn't it?
Huh?

You have a good time in Connecticut?

Sure, yeah. Good.

I got somebody I want you to meet.

It's a friend of Serena. This is, um...
Meadow. Meadow.

Meadow, this is Will.

Will. Meadow.

Will.

Hi.

She thinks you're cute.

You two have a good time. We're going
dead.

Meadow, be gentle with him.

Bye.

Hi, Scott.

Yeah.

Um, you, uh, can I get you a drink?

Sure.

Sorry about the mess.

I just moved in. I haven't had a bath
yet.

A mess?

You should see my apartment.

There's art supplies everywhere, books,
canvases.

That's a mess.

You want an artist?

I'd dabble.

I'd use the bathroom.

Make yourself at home.

Too much champagne!

You have a message.

Now this is music.

Mendelssohn.

You know it?

Yeah.

Concerto No. 2.

My mother used to listen to this all the
time when I was little.

One of her favorites.

This got me through law school.

My turn.

Down the hall on the left.

You want something to drink?

All water on the rocks. I'm sorry it
isn't champagne.

I've had enough champagne.

Hello?

Hello, Mother.

This morning?

When did you leave the message?

I guess I forgot to play the machine.

I had a late night.

Yes.

Three o 'clock, the terrace, okay.

I'll see you then.

Okay, bye.

So, what unit do they have you for?

I've been assigned to the career
criminals bureau.

Excuse me, gentlemen.

May I steal my son for a moment?

Excuse me.

William, do you realize you have not
spoken to Ashley all afternoon? I only

arrived, Mother.

She's been gone for over two years. It
would be nice for you to at least

her home.

I did welcome her home.

Sweetheart, her parents have gone
through a great deal to arrange this

Show some appreciation.

I really need to talk to you. It's
important. No, no. Something happened to

Estanio. She's not coming in. I've got
to track her down.

What happened? She was supposed to be
here this morning.

Looks like Vladimir's lawyers got to her
over the weekend.

They may have offered her a settlement,
a handsome one.

We could be in trouble.

Can I do anything?

No, just stay here and do what you're
doing. I'll be back with you later.

Emily, I really need to speak to you as
soon as possible.

Did you find her?

Yeah, I found her.

What'd she say?

Said she wants to walk away. I don't
know. We'll see.

I know it's been one of those days, but
I really need to talk to you.

What about?

I met her.

I wake up Saturday morning, and she's
gone. Not even a goodbye.

Oh?

Don't you think that's weird?

She just left.

What's she supposed to do?

I don't know.

I thought we had a great night together.

I guess I just want to know why.

What's there to know?

What do you mean?

She didn't tell you?

Tell me what?

Oh, shit, I don't believe this.

She didn't tell you?

Tell me what, Hamlin.

I've been seeing Serena for about a year
now.

Once a month.

We have an arrangement.

What kind of arrangement?

Business.

I pay her.

She's an escort, man.

She never said a word.

Maybe she thought you knew.

Maybe she thought I told you. I don't
know.

Look, she got paid. That's her only
concern.

You paid her?

How much?

500.

I thought she was worth it.

Sorry.

Look, man, you're not supposed to fall
for this. Girl, you take him out, you

have a good time. At the end of the
night, you know you're going to get

It's that simple.

Marcella.

All right.

This is the last run -through before we
go to trial.

I wish I could say I had confidence in
Mrs.

Castaño's testimony, but I can't.

Everything is touch and go.

All we can do is go in there and be as
prepared as we possibly can. I want

everything covered.

A to Z.

We do not leave this room until we have
everything down pat, seal tight, 100%.

You understand?

Yes.

All right.

Miss Metcalf, let's start with the
opening statement.

Okay. Someone said they got Mr. Carter,
right?

What about people in the filming
department?

They said to testify?

Well, in his vacation, you're going to
have to wait.

You can get a place that way and I'll
have to jump from here.

I understand that, Laura.

Listen, I gotta go.

Maybe.

Very funny. Listen, I gotta go. I gotta
go.

Okay, I'll see you in the morning. Bye.

Can I ask you a question?

Why do you do what you do?

What do I do?

I pay you.

I assume other men pay you.

Why do you do it?

What's the matter?

I don't know.

I don't know anything about you.

You don't know anything about me.

The second you walk in the door, we're
all over each other. We just... Fuck.

Yeah.

Do you have a problem with that?

I don't know what I have a problem with.

Do you want some more champagne?

Sure.

How do you feel about the verdict? Yes,
we're very happy with today's decision.

The American legal system, once again,
proved its value.

My client has been witch -hunted in
railroads since day one.

I understand.

I'm a decent and honest man.

Thanks,

Jeff.

I can't fucking believe it.

We own this case and it was ours.

She was a mother.

Her only child murdered.

Fucking impaled.

I can't believe it.

I care.

You live where she lives.

You have what she has.

Anything's possible.

That's bullshit.

She sold herself out. She sold her
daughter out.

Look, I met the woman.

I got to know her.

She doesn't come from jack shit.

She don't own shit.

Somebody shows up one day at her
doorstep with a Natasha case full of

lot of money, it ain't too hard to tell
her. How can you say that?

What, just because she's poor, she has
no values, no principles?

How do you put a price tag on the death
of your child?

It got nothing to do with values and
principles, that bullshit you're talking

about. She's a Catholic.

Oh, come on. Her daughter's dead in
heaven.

She ain't got no choice but to make
peace with that.

Why not take the money? Ain't that going
to bring her daughter back?

Maybe now she can start a new life, have
another baby.

Laura, darling, if you was in that
position, you'd probably do the same

No way.

No, I can't buy that.

Well, you're not in the position to, are
you?

No, I'm not.

Maybe you're right.

No.

As I sit here, I can't accept it.

It's bullshit.

Don't ever accept it.

Never. What's up with that old girl?

I don't know.

What do you mean you don't know? Did you
call her?

Did you call her?

We're leaving.

It's early.

Yeah, well, I want to go home and have
this day over with.

I'm going back to Queens to get some
real drink.

He's going home to his wife.

Did good.

By the way, Will, I know we haven't
known each other very long, but...

I'd like to invite you to my wedding.

I'm getting married in a couple of
months.

Congratulations.

Oh, my fiancé and I were paying for it
ourselves, so we're trying to keep it to

a minimum.

No dates.

Hamlin's going alone. You can go with
him.

I'd be honored.

All right.

I'll be right up to you guys Monday
morning. All right, baby. Bright and

All right. Later,

boys. All right. See you tomorrow.

Well, how do you like that?

You and I are now dating each other.

I hope it's not too long.

What, you've seen somebody else?

Maybe.

You know, I haven't had a real date in
five years.

I don't have the time.

I work for 29 days and play for one.

I got an offer.

Cromwell, Stevens, and Schmidt.

Big time.

Hey, that's great.

A hundred lives to start. That's just
the beginning.

Just what you wanted.

When do you start?

I haven't given him an answer yet.

You know, I had it all planned. I was
going to work here for five years, move

the ladder, save some money, meet a
girl, get married, buy a house.

I should have had him.

Even when the castaño was in or out, I
should have had that slime.

Oh, man.

You did your best.

Hey, Mike.

I ain't got another picture for me. Oh,
no, no, no, no, no. I got to go.

It's Friday night. Why is everybody
going home? It's all right.

I got to go home and unpack.

You don't have to.

Tell Sabrina I fell in love.

Sorry I'm late. It was such a beautiful
day, I decided to walk. I hope you don't

mind. No, not at all. I can't believe
this place.

It's incredible.

I'm glad you like it.

It's my spot.

I come here whenever I have a chance.

I like to just sit here and think.

It's so peaceful.

I think everyone in the world should
have a spot.

One spot where a person, no matter...

what's happened in their life, no matter
what's going on in the world,

and find serenity.

Do you have a spot?

I don't know.

I guess the only place that makes me
feel that way is the golf course.

But that's not really one spot. It's 18
spots.

It can only be one.

Well, I allow you to use my spot
whenever you want.

We can share it.

I grew up in Virginia, and I used to
wander around the woods when I was

And one day I discovered the most
beautiful sight in the world.

I stumbled upon this field of
wildflowers.

Just flowers for as far as you can see.

And I decided right then that that was
my spot.

I used to go there every day. I would
just sit there for hours and look at the

flowers, listen to the birds.

And one day I brought my little crayon
set out there and I started to draw

everything.

The colors are so amazing.

My mother was an artist.

Is an artist.

And she used to paint the most beautiful
landscapes.

And one day she found the little
paintings I had made.

And she wanted me to take her there.

But I refused.

Because I didn't want to share it with
her.

I didn't want to share it with anyone.

Because it was my fault.

And it was only for me.

Is it still there?

I don't know.

I left home when I was 18 and I never
went back.

I hope it is.

I'm talking too much.

No, no, no, not at all.

Keep talking.

Why did you leave?

You said you left home.

I did.

I used to date this guy that was much
older than me.

And I came home from school one day and
I found them in bed together.

My boyfriend and my mother.

And I just walked out the door and I
never went back.

How about your father?

My daddy was a sculptor.

He died on my 13th birthday.

Great hands, lousy timing.

Famous last words.

And you haven't spoken to your mother
since?

No.

There's nothing to talk about.

Oh, um, before I forget...

Did you make arrangements for the table
Sunday?

Your mother's birthday?

You said you'd take care of it. That's
right, I will. I'll contact the dinner

committee and make the arrangements.

You want this?

No, thank you.

Your mother thought it might be a nice
idea to invite Ashley.

It appears her family is going out of
town and she could join us.

Actually, I was thinking about inviting
someone else.

Who might that be?

A girl.

Well, what about Ashley?

Does your mother know about this?

I'm making the arrangements. I should be
able to invite who I like.

Who is this girl?

Just a girl.

You'll have to wait to meet her on
Mother's birthday.

Shit.

So, what we have proven here, ladies and
gentlemen of the jury, is that this man

has stolen systematically thousands upon
thousands of dollars from the mouths of

hundreds of homeless men and women.

from the mouths of hundreds of children,
from the mouths of anyone who has ever

been cheated out of what was deservedly
theirs, so that he could lavish himself

with untold luxury, so that he could
indulge in his own private fantasies,

so that he could line his own greedy
pockets.

This man has laughed in the face of
anything close to being humane and

This is a man who is guilty of the worst
deceit possible, taking from those

who don't have.

This is a crime that must be prosecuted
to the maximum of the law.

He must be taught the rules of humanity.

He must pay back.

How's it going?

Oh, man, from what I hear, you're the
one who got things going.

I heard you maxed them. Four to 12, $100
,000 fine.

Looks like you found your role, huh?

I hope so.

Not a matter of hope, my friend.

What can I do to help?

Nothing. Keep your coat on. I'm almost
done here. Come on.

I'm going to miss you, man.

You shouldn't.

It's your turn now.

Your turn to wear the shoes.

We'll see what you got. Time will tell.

I guess we won't be sharing cabs
anymore.

Cabs? Shit.

I'll be taking limos to work now.

When did you start?

Uh, one week.

Think I'll get myself a new crib, buy
some new clothes.

I'm gonna wind up looking like you.

Hey.

Take care of the placement.

I will.

I'm nervous.

Why? It's your mother's birthday. I feel
funny.

I wanted you to come.

Well, what if they ask me a lot of
questions?

Why?

I'm sorry.

What was your name again?

Meadow.

Meadow.

That's a very pretty name.

And what do you do, Meadow?

I'm in sales.

Meadow sells dresses at Saks Fifth
Avenue.

Oh, Saks.

One of my wife's favorite stores.

How long have you been working there?
About a year.

And where are you from, Meadow?

Chincoteague, Virginia.

Chincoteague, I know it well. That's
where they herd the ponies every year.

It's a lie, I think. It's a beautiful
place. It is beautiful.

And did you pursue your studies in that
part of the country?

Not exactly.

I moved to New York when I was 18.

I've been saving my money so I can put
myself through school.

I study art history at NYU.

I must say I'm a bit of an art historian
myself. Now, what prompted you to

pursue such a fascinating subject?

Well, my mother's an artist.

She paints.

So should Meadow.

She's more an artist than a historian.

I don't paint much anymore.

She dabbled.

An artist, always an artist.

I used to paint a lot when I was young.

I always had this dream of attending
this special art school in Paris.

École de Beaux -Arts.

Some of our greatest painters studied
there.

My mother studied there.

Alise Adair.

Do you know her?

Not many people do.

She lives down in Virginia.

She doesn't stray very far from her
easel.

And what led you to stray so far from
it?

I don't know.

I guess I just wanted to try something
new.

Something different.

Sounds a little bit like our son.

More champagnes, please.

Please, another bottle.

Thank you.

When did you acquire this sudden taste
for champagne?

It's not sudden, Mother.

I'm enjoying myself.

It makes us laugh.

I had fun.

Your parents are great.

You're great.

Do you have to have the car back in the
garage by a certain time?

Midnight, why?

Well, my friend Sebastian invited me to
this loft party.

Why don't we drop off your car, hop in a
cab, and you can join me.

How are you? You look so beautiful.

No, you look beautiful.

This is my friend Will.

Glad you do, Will. Pleased to meet you.

I'm so glad you could come.

I'm glad.

I've heard

many

wonderful things about you from
Sebastian.

I can see right away that they're all
true.

This is my friend Will.

Will, nice to meet you. How do you do?
The both of you. I'm pleased you were

able to make it.

So, make yourselves at home.

Relax.

Please. What's mine is yours.

Separation. There's never... I feel like
how can you coexist?

I mean, I feel... I feel like sometimes
I feel like... I'm mental, like...

I'm breaking down.

Where are we going?

There's always... There's a future.

There's memories. And it feels like you
can never transcend that. Would you like

some more champagne?

To close that gap.

Please.

Do you see something that I don't see?

I don't know.

I'm not quite sure what I see.

That's the secrecy.

Everybody sees something just a little
different.

Where have you been?

I've been around.

I'm enjoying myself.

Are you?

Obviously not as much as you.

come with me come on

let's get out of here

A surprise for you.

No more champagne. I'm champagned out.

Not champagne.

Close your eyes.

Close your eyes.

Okay, open up.

What is that?

Something.

Is that cocaine?

No, it's not cocaine.

What is it? Something.

It's fun.

I do it every so often. It's harmless.

It's gonna make you feel really good.

I already feel really good.

It'll make you feel really, really good.

Just take a little sniff.

Okay, other side.

What

is

it?

You'll see.

You okay?

I feel like I'm floating in space.

What are you doing down there?

I don't know. I must have floated.

No.

How do you

sleep?

In the most incredible...

What is it?

Times Square area within golf.

You all right?

Yeah, I'm fine. You sure?

Mm -hmm.

I want you to meet him at 10 p .m. at
the bar at the Royalton Hotel.

You know where that is. 44 West 44th
Street.

You're going to go dining and dancing at
the Rainbow Room.

And he's staying at the Carlisle.

I don't think that I have to remind you
how generous he is.

And he asked specifically for you.

So listen, I spoke to Corporation
Counsel.

Vladimir was wanted on, get this, 42
separate building violations in that

building alone.

It was cited for everything from
collapsing facades to hazardous wiring.

It was a disaster waiting to happen.

Why weren't warrants executed?

Excuse me, do you know how many
outstanding warrants there are in this

The police are charged with executing
the warrants. They give priority to the

most violent criminal ones, and there's
just not enough manpower anymore.

Right, falling through the crack
syndrome.

You got it.

Look, guys, I think it's time we start
filling in some of these cracks.

I want you to find out everything you
can on where, when, and how Vladimir got

into this country, who sponsored him,
whatever else you can dig up.

I want a history of everything he has
done since he set foot in this country

until today.

I want to see a copy of every lease his
name has ever been on. I want to see a

copy of every lease his name was even
thought about being put on.

I want to pour cement in every crack.

And every hole and every chink in this
guy's entire life.

By the time we're through with him,
there shouldn't be a pebble he can hide

behind.

By the time we nail it, I don't know,
Ben.

All right.

Hey, I got the case.

Yeah, thank you.

Listen, I was just heading home. I
thought I'd swing by and pick you up. We

could celebrate.

Why not?

Why?

Oh.

Okay.

Sure, no problem.

Listen, I made the arrangements for the
30th. The room's booked.

Are we still on?

Well, all right.

Sure.

Hello?

Hello, Mother.

I'm fine. How are you?

No, I haven't spoken to Ashley yet. I've
been very busy.

Yeah, I like her. I think she's very
nice.

Uh, no, I'm in the kitchen.

Listen, can I call you back?

I'm on the other line.

I will.

Yes, I have her number. You gave it to
me.

I will.

I'll call her, I promise.

Okay?

Goodbye.

I'll call you later.

Don't forget what I told you, all right?

May I help you?

Hi. It's Rapala.

Rapala's in a meeting.

We know each other.

Sebastian, right? We met at Rapala's
party.

You give me his card?

You're, um... You're Meadow's friend,
aren't you?

Right.

How are you?

Fine. Thanks. How are you?

Me? I'm fabulous.

Hold on a minute.

Is he going to be in the meeting room?

William,

what a pleasant surprise.

Well, Meadow's spoken so much about your
gallery, I thought I'd stop by and see

it for myself.

Wonderful.

Have you been?

Fine. And you?

Busy, busy, busy.

I wish I had the time to show you
around. Unfortunately, I have a buyer in

overseas, and he's very demanding.

I'm having a party Thursday night.

Why don't you and your friend Meadow try
to make it?

Sebastian will set you up with all the
details.

Mr. Best.

We had a meeting this morning.

First thing.

Remember?

I'm sorry.

I forgot.

It's been one of those days I've been up
to my eyeballs.

Everyone in this office is up to their
eyeballs.

That's no excuse. If you're supposed to
be someplace, you make sure you get

there. I don't care how much work is in
front of your face.

Understood?

Understood.

Be in my office tomorrow morning. 8 a
.m.

Sharp.

William, it's so good to see you again.

I'm sorry Meadow wasn't able to attend.

So is she.

Later in the evening, we'll be having a
private party.

In my den.

Just a select group.

Why don't you join us? You may find it
very interesting.

The finest grade heroin in the world
today.

Patience.

It's as white as snow on the peaks of
the Himalayas.

Pure ecstasy.

The Chinese call it...

Chasing the dragon.

You chased the smoke?

Ready?

Wait, wait.

Now.

There it is.

Good.

Good.

Very good.

Many surprises I have in store for us
this weekend.

You are going to love the room we got.

It's right on the beach. You can
practically hear the waves crashing

door.

You're going to love it.

When I left Virginia, I don't know, I
didn't really know where to go. So I

moved to the north.

And I did everything you could imagine.

I went through the bookstore, the
waitress, anything you could see by.

And one day I met this woman, Victoria.

And we became really good friends.

And she used to say to me that...

If I ever needed any money to go to
school, that I could start working for

And again, today I did.

Just one half an hour.

And I don't know.

I guess I just continued to do it.

I come from money, Will.

And I certainly don't have parents to
run home to.

Everything I make, I earn on my own.

That's just the way it is.

That night I called you.

The night I got the case.

Couldn't see me.

Did you have a date?

Well, where do I fit in all this?

You tell me.

You've been doing that all weekend.

I'm on vacation.

Well, let's go out and enjoy it.

Let's do something.

If we're going to stay inside, that's at
least very good.

Your turn.

How do you feel?

I feel like everything's going
backwards.

Back to the womb.

She's your mother. You should talk to
her.

There's nothing to talk about.

Would you like me to call her? No.

I just want you to be happy I am happy

No, I'm on my way

Let's start from square one.

Is this too much for you?

No, not at all. I want this.

So do we.

I went to bat for you. I expect results.

This is about yesterday. I apologize. It
will not happen again.

This isn't about yesterday. It's about
today. It's about tomorrow. We go to

trial in eight weeks.

I don't have to tell you how quickly
that comes.

We'll be ready.

I don't see a person who looks ready.

You look tired.

Rung down.

In order to be effective, you have to
look effective.

You're running the show. You're supposed
to set an example.

I realized I had... From here on in, you
report everything to me. I want a daily

update. The chief is on my ass here. He
wants answers.

We're going to have to provide him with
some.

You make sure you get the rest you need.

We're going to meet here every morning
at 8. I want a complete update, a

report. Everything.

This baby's right around the corner.

We have come here today from parts
scattered and assembled in this house of

who witnessed the union of Laura and
Michael in holy matrimony.

So we put on our best clothes.

We're wearing our nicest watch.

Maybe had our hair done.

Probably had our hair done.

And we've gathered here to be a part of
this tradition, this beautiful,

And sacred ceremony of marriage.

And I'm sure I speak for many of us here
when I ask, what took you two so long?

I've had the pleasure of growing up with
Laura and Michael. We've known each

other most of our lives.

And I applaud Laura on taking her own

sweet time to get here.

I must also congratulate Michael on his
patience these past few

years.

I'm fine.

Tradition.

Ceremony.

A pretty loaded sentence, I must admit.

These words to me have always evoked a
sense of mystery,

a sense of time, of time passing,

of time to come, and an intangible sense
of...

being part of something far greater than
ourselves.

For in the union of two souls in holy
matrimony, there is not only a lifetime

commitment of love and devotion to each
other, but to God.

Before his eyes that we stand today.

I'm sorry, Mr. Best. I don't know where
he is.

I contacted you when he left here the
other day.

That was the last time I saw him.

It's okay, Mrs. Adair.

It'll be all right.

Come on, madam.

Come on, honey.

Come on.

There you go.

Come on.

You can do it.

It's okay.

Get some hot liquid in there. Thanks,
guys.

It'll be all right.

It's okay, Mrs. Adair.
