Bombay Sweets. Yes, Mr. Huff, I have a few messages for you.

Where may one get some cigars?

The smoke shop right in the arcade.

Thank you.

You go upstairs, darling. I'll fetch my cigars and be right along.

Thank you.

Yes,

well, you did very good.

Well, thank you, Mr. Fowler. You're happy, Judy.

To think Gregory is lovely, Uncle Joe. Maybe a few more flowers. What do you

think, Miss Frances?

Easy enough to do.

Well, I don't want to overdo it. You know, it gets too ditzy.

Boys don't like ditzy. You know what I mean?

Well, I'll pick the most masculine flowers we have.

It's a very special occasion.

It's not every day a boy has his bar mitzvah.

Thank goodness.

Thank you. Thank you.

Morning. Hello.

I'm afraid I don't have reservations.

The name is Whitfield. I'm a friend of the family.

I'm sorry, Miss Whitfield. We're a bit sad.

Oh. Can't you break out one of those empty rooms you save for visiting

dignitaries? I'm really not authorized.

I understand.

How can I get a hold of Mrs. Cabot?

Just use any house phone.

Thank you.

It's wonderful seeing you again, Brooke.

Me too.

I've already crashed in on her like that.

Where have you been?

With a rock band.

Lead guitar, to be exact.

Then he took the waters in Tahoe, and I took the bus.

You know, it seems only a month ago I was going to fly east for your wedding.

Yes, one of Daddy's mergers.

Do you, Whitfield Industries, take Unified Aluminum to be your lawful

antitrust conglomerate?

E .G. was not happy about you leaving Unified Aluminum at the altar.

Look, you're going to have to call him. I am not about to endure the wrath of

your father.

You know, depending on your net worth, Daddy might ask me to marry you.

Christine, I was looking for you.

I've been very busy. I'm here for a week.

Tonight, tomorrow, they're going to let you off sometime.

Mr. Rogers.

I am an employee of this hotel, and you are a guest here. For you, I'd move

across the street.

More importantly, you wouldn't want me to be unfaithful to my fiancé, now would

you? I appreciate that.

Mr.

Rogers, this is Mr. Danning. How do you do? The man I am going to marry.

You're one lucky guy, Danning.

Yes, I... I guess I am.

I guess I am.

Well... Yes, I am. Thank you.

Hi. Yeah.

Thank you. Thank you. What was that all about?

Thank God you came.

Sweetheart, do I owe you a ring?

No, it's okay.

I'll be at the cashier's office.

Sure. I'll see you later.

What happened?

Dad,

if you're just going to scream, I'm going to hang up.

Besides, I don't think you want to stiff Mrs. Cabot for this lovely room.

Not a word for two months that you call up out of the blue for money.

Well, you see, it's really very simple. If you'll just sell one of your little

companies and give me a small trust, I won't have to bug you with these things.

I don't know what to tell you anymore.

How about you love me?

Love me enough to let me lead my own life.

Do I hear a purse string loosening?

You'll get the money tonight.

Love makes the world go round.

Bye, Dad.

What's the matter?

You're not having fun at your own bar mitzvah? I'm tired.

Thirteen, and you're... No, no, no, please, don't get up. I don't want you

exhaust yourself.

I was very proud of you today.

You know, you kept up the tradition.

That's important.

Lots of places in this world where you couldn't do that.

I know, Uncle Joe. You told me you didn't have a bar mitzvah. No, that's

But you did.

Now, I have a little token of remembrance for you.

Thanks, Uncle Joe.

Never mind how much it is.

You can tally the loot later.

Remember, spend it wisely and always give something to those who are less

fortunate than you are.

Be good to Mom and Dad and especially to Uncle Joe.

Remember, even though you became a man today, you'll never become too old to

kiss the people who love you.

No.

Peter. Yes. Glad you could come. I wanted to offer my congratulations.

Mazel tov. Very happy occasion.

You're looking lovely, Mrs. Farley. Thank you, Peter.

Are you too busy to take me around the dance floor? No, I think I can manage

that. Well, you two kids run along. I'll get some fresh air.

And not too cuddly. You know how the relatives love to talk.

It sounds like a lot of fun.

But I'm off to Hawaii this time. I have lots of friends there.

Maybe I can help change your mind.

Maybe, but I seriously doubt it.

Tiffany, what are you doing here?

It's Tillery, Miss Whitfield.

Larry, I'd like you to meet Tiffany.

Nice to meet you.

How do you do?

Are you still working for Daddy?

That's why I'm here.

Ah, wise man came out of the East bearing gifts of frankincense and

checks. Actually, I came out of the West.

L .A., to be exact, to bear you home.

What are you talking about?

Your father requests the pleasure of your company at breakfast tomorrow in

York.

Larry, will you excuse me?

I'm about to throw the bar at this fellow, and I hate to ruin the wonderful

impression that I've made.

You need anything. You just holler.

I'll forget the bash tomorrow night.

If you decide to pass on breakfast with Tiffany.

Nice meeting you.

Don't get comfortable.

I have an order to get you on a plane tonight or turn in my briefcase.

Do you have handcuffs?

Now, let's be reasonable.

You have no money.

Your father, on the other hand, has a net worth of 200 million, give or take.

Mostly take.

It seems to me if you would just give a little to your father, I mean, he would

be very generous and you'd both be happier.

They must have cloned you for my father.

Ms. Whitfield will be checking out, and could you arrange a limo for the

airport? Oh, I'm sorry, haven't you heard? The airport shut down, and it

probably won't open until tomorrow.

It was shut down. I just flew in an hour ago. A big fog rolled in.

As you can see, we're in a heck of a mess with all the arrivals and

Well, can you fix me up with a room?

We're jammed.

And I'm sorry to say, all the hotels on the hill are having the same problem.

Gee whiz, Tiffany. Looks like you're stuck out in the fog with no place to

tonight.

What are you doing?

Going to bed.

This is my bed. That is your couch.

I can't. I have a bad back.

Try the floor. They say it's very good for that sort of thing.

You travel a little light, don't you? You get those shorts on Valentine's Day?

Sorry, I never got into pajamas.

I'll try to stay covered.

Just try to stay on your side of the bed.

You're strictly business.

What's to keep me from sneaking away?

Money.

You know, you're exactly like my father. You think that money is the answer to

everything.

It becomes less of an inconvenience when you earn a little.

You ought to try it sometime.

Where have you been?

The Kellens left. They wanted to say goodbye.

I'm sorry.

He barely threw up all over himself after drinking wine.

He's a man now.

I never had a bar mitzvah.

Yes, darling, I know.

So? You became a man anyway.

There are still societies where the young are not thought to be men until

they have killed a wild beast.

You want to kill something?

Let's go kill off some of that chopped liver.

Remember this.

No matter what happens, I love you very much.

Brooke, is that you?

Where the hell are you?

I'm in bed, Dad. Where the hell do you think I am?

Where's Tillery?

Hold on.

Telephone.

Yeah. Tillery?

Are you in bed with my daughter?

Ain't she?

No. I just came in the door.

The airport, it's fogged in. We're hoping to get out later today.

Listen, as long as you're stuck there, why don't you catch Reynolds for lunch?

Put a little squeeze on him.

Good idea.

Put my daughter back on.

Ah.

She just went in the shower.

Was that the St. Gregory or a dormitory?

You told me to stay close, C .G.

Just get on that plane today.

But don't forget Reynolds.

Joe?

I didn't know you were into Telzor.

Jim, ah, 2 ,000 shares.

I thought I deserved at least a prune Danish.

Oh, this is just a little breakfast.

A chance for the board members to put the pressure on the heavy hitters, you

know, for tomorrow's vote.

We don't have these problems in real estate. You buy a building, you sell a

building. Let me get you some coffee.

Spengler?

How are you?

You are addressing me, sir?

Excuse me, excuse me. For a moment I thought you were someone I knew a long

back.

Really?

Where was that?

Österreich.

Königberg.

Neue Untergrenze.

I have never been there.

No, no, I passed through there once on my way to a Russian prison camp.

Ah, my name is...

Joe Freilich.

Mr.

Huff.

Yes, well, you were very lucky.

Not many Germans survived the Russian camps.

I suppose my ability with electronics made me more valuable alive than dead.

Survival is often a matter of will as well as luck, wouldn't you say?

One sets goals.

One must live to attain them.

I myself found retribution to be a worthwhile goal.

Something to survive for.

Hello. Where have you been?

Shopping, obviously.

I'm just generous, silly. Grab something.

How about your throat?

Why'd you sneak off without telling me?

Because you were in the shower and I needed something to do at the party.

What party? We're booked on a four o 'clock flight.

Well, we may be booked, but if you knew enough to come out of the shower, you'd

realize it's still very foggy in Old Frisco right now.

Look, I have a very important business lunch.

And you want me to come along?

No, I don't.

But you can't be trusted.

Are you firing me?

I'll tell him you're my assistant.

Oh, come on. Don't be so chauvinistic.

Say that I'm your partner.

This is very important to your father and me.

Well, I certainly wouldn't want to get in the way of Daddy making another

billion, would I?

You wanted to see me?

Yeah. I'm fine.

How are you?

Terrific, thanks.

How are you?

Me?

Oh, I'm fine.

Um... What, uh... What's, uh...

No?

Mm -hmm.

Anything new with you?

What could be new with me?

I pretty much go my way by myself.

Would you like to talk about it over dinner?

Well, I don't know.

Maybe it's not such a good idea for us to set an example.

Have we been setting an example? You know, employees, socializing.

Oh.

Well...

Maybe we could ask Mark if he'd like to come along and chaperone.

Mark.

Why not?

Well, I'll see if he's available.

Brooke is a financial whiz. The way she can go through figures.

Even E .G. is amazed.

And the really amazing thing is that old Whitfield's finally moving into the

20th century.

I can remember a time when the only way a woman could get into the executive

suite is to have a typewriter or a great parable.

Excuse me.

You were saying, Alan, about the company.

Well, I'm not going to lie to you, Bill. I want the company.

I just don't have the cash flow right now.

Simple. Let E .G. buy it for you.

Sweetheart, E .G. is selling.

Alan is buying.

Honey, I'm with you.

Alan is short of cash.

Yes, I know. He needs a partner with money, EG.

They can form a short -term limited partnership. They buy the company.

By the way, the computer division is a liability.

You sell that off.

Then you can pay back your partner.

With a 30 % projected growth rate, you can acquire a new partner, the bank.

you can buy off EG.

I love it.

You think EG will go for that?

Well, he does need a tax shelter. I think he'll leave with a chance.

I have to make a call.

Don't wait for me. Pee before it gets cold.

You were just supposed to sit and be good.

I thought I was very good. I think Renan thought so, too.

Your father's going to transfer me to Outer Mongolia.

Yes, probably.

But by that time, he'll realize that it works and so would you if you weren't so

hung up.

You know, I'm getting a little sick of babysitting a spoiled brat.

Men get so mad when you have to change places with women.

I didn't work my way through Harvard Business School to clean up after you.

Why don't you clean up after yourself?

Joe, where have you been? I've been calling the office all day.

I saw Spengler at the hotel.

Which Spengler?

Yes, him.

The butcher.

Are you sure?

No.

Could I ever forget that face?

Those eyes, those cruel, unforgiving eyes that never even blinked.

When he sent so many thousands to the ice chambers.

We have to call the authorities.

What could they do after all these years?

You're thinking something.

Forget it, Joe.

Let him live with his conscience.

What conscience?

You want to forget?

Tell Mum and Papa to forget.

Whenever they dump their ashes.

Tell your cousin Mike to forget. Tell him to forget his two legs that he no

longer has because of the experiments.

And you, Lily, you want to forget?

You want to forget the children we never had?

Because they stripped you of your womanhood?

If you kill this Spengler, they will put you back in a cell.

Another concentration camp.

For the rest of your life.

Maybe.

Really.

It's time for my bar mitzvah.

It's time to become a man.

Yes? Oh, this is Mr.

Hopsweet. Well, he's not here at the moment. Did you have an appointment?

Yes. Yes, I did.

Well, if you'd like to wait, I expect him back any moment.

May I get you a drink, Mr... Joseph Froelich. No,

no, thank you.

I'm fine.

Please, sit down.

You're

from

Buenos Aires.

No.

Why do you ask?

Well, I don't mean to be nosy. I just noticed your accent. And Alex has so

friends from South America.

Really?

No, no. I am from Austria originally.

Mr.

Hush and I knew each other in the old country.

Where are we going?

We aren't going anywhere.

I don't want to be the heavy. Now, look.

I'm kind of caught in the middle.

I've been caught in the middle all my life.

Between my dad's image of me and what I want to do.

What is it you want to do?

What I want to do is be left alone to lead my own life. What's wrong with

I wouldn't think anyone with a mouth as big as yours could be stopped from doing

anything. It has nothing to do with mouths. It has to do with carrots.

Carrots? Yes, dangling them in front of you.

Success, wealth, failure, security, come on. I could never compete in my

father's world.

You did all right downstairs with Reynolds.

Tillery.

E .G. would have closed that deal by throwing in his daughter as a perk.

Sorry about the Brene sauce.

It's all right. I'll put it on my expense account.

Yes?

Mr. Tillery, this is the desk.

You asked that we let you know when the fog cleared.

If you like, we can confirm your flight.

Oh, too bad.

Well, keep me posted.

Looks like we're hung in for another night.

Oh.

Are you sure I can't get you anything?

Oh, there you are, darling.

Mr. Freilich has just stopped by.

So I see.

To what do I owe the pleasure, Mr. Freilich?

Could we confer privately?

Will you excuse me, then? No, stay.

I have no secrets from my wife.

State your business.

I asked for you to state your business, sir.

I have no business.

Why did you let the Jew in?

What do you think is so nice?

They can't be trusted.

I wish you could learn that.

I think we should talk.

Something wrong?

Touching might be a better word.

Well, can we discuss it over dinner? Would you rather not talk about it with

Christine?

Christine?

Chinatown tonight?

I don't think so. Oh, would you prefer Italian instead?

No, I gotta be down at the bar, so... Sure.

Hey, Joe.

I didn't think you were into the hard stuff.

No way to treat an ulcer.

There are times when one has to ignore such trivial things.

This one of those times?

Lily called me.

She's worried about what you have in mind.

That I might kill the butcher.

A man who murdered thousands.

And they were the lucky ones.

You're absolutely positive?

It's a face that I see in my nightmares.

We can get to the authorities.

Forty years and this man still walks free.

Do you think he has nightmares?

Do you think he cares?

Does anyone care?

Well, you can't kill him.

Oh, you're right.

I don't have the courage to act on my instincts.

Your instincts are good or you wouldn't be here.

I survived, yes.

Of what?

To face this man, to look into his eyes, and have him smirk and think,

you're nothing.

You are just a Jew.

It's hard to kill.

It's easy to die.

Six million of us proved it.

Glad you could make it.

Oh, thank you. I try never to miss a party.

You and your friend got something going?

Well, we're sleeping together, but it's nothing serious.

The invitation still stands if you want to hit Vegas with me.

We're going to take off around midnight.

What about the fog?

What fog?

That cleared up hours ago.

It did?

Yeah,

I got the green light late this afternoon.

Would you excuse me for just a moment?

Thank you.

Hi, there.

No,

no, no, no.

It's way, way past our bedtime, and he gets so cranky when he doesn't get his

eight hours of sleep. And we really don't want to miss the 11 o 'clock

report. Now, do we?

Come on. We've had enough fun now.

Say goodbye to the girls.

We're going. Bye.

Go.

I don't understand why you didn't tell me. I don't understand why you care.

I had second thoughts.

What kind of thoughts?

I have no right to do this. E .G. has no right.

You're a grown woman.

When did you notice?

I don't know why we try so hard to dislike each other.

I don't dislike you.

I just get angry with you.

Yes, I have a tendency to bring that out in people.

You've got a terrible chip on your shoulder.

Well, I've been waiting for somebody special to come along and knock it off.

You've got to let him get close enough.

Then why are you standing way over there?

I hope you don't think I'm being pushy.

But I really do prefer your thought of the bed.

Oh, Bill.

Room service, right on time, damn it.

Morning. What's with your phone? Where's my... E .G., I... Brooke.

What the hell are you doing in his bed?

This is my bed.

E .G., it's very simple.

I want to marry your daughter.

You do?

Then why are you asking him?

You want to marry my daughter?

Yeah. Well, I suppose she could do worse.

She has.

You've got a pretty good future with Whitfield Industries.

Maybe we could move you up a little faster.

Now, just a minute, Dad.

This is not one of your damn mergers. Nobody's asked me if I want to marry

I don't. I haven't got time for this.

Reynolds is going to meet me up in my suite in 20 minutes to discuss that deal

you concocted. Now, you get dressed and be there.

Getting a little worried about Peter.

Been acting pretty strange lately.

Yeah, I noticed.

Do you think... It's a woman, naturally.

Yeah.

I think he wants to talk about it, but... Well, you know how guys can get

of hung up on this kind of thing.

And you think I should be the one to bring it up? Well, he's dying to confide

someone. It seems that you're the one.

Hi.

Hi.

I've got to run.

Bye.

Bye.

Christine.

Yeah.

This may not be the moment.

You're probably right.

But, uh...

Listen,

kids. We pull off this sale and I'll throw you the biggest wedding Long

ever saw.

Why don't you go running off on me?

A big wedding is good for business.

Sir, it's fine for you to manipulate Brooke with your money, but when I get

married, it will be when, where, and how I want.

It won't be to me.

Afraid to jeopardize your precious inheritance?

Well, I don't sell out that cheap.

You have nothing to lose.

E .G., in case you haven't noticed, the romance is over.

Romance? You're strictly a paid escort.

Not anymore.

I quit.

Hillary, you blow this deal and you're through.

Oh, let him go, Dad. He's only good in the fog.

Oh, yeah? Well, the truth is he only looked good because it was overcast.

Hello there. Hello.

Oh, uh, Reynolds, uh, come in, come in.

Sit down.

Anything wrong?

No, no, no, no, no.

Uh, you know Brooke, don't you? How could I forget?

The lady that proposed the deal.

What are you talking about?

Yesterday at lunch, it was all her idea on how to swing this sale.

As a matter of fact, E .G., I'm going to be very straight with you. I want her

thrown in as part of the package.

You want to marry my daughter?

What?

We didn't mention that, Daddy.

I wanted her to head up one of my divisions.

But under the circumstances, I'll understand if that's not negotiable. I

know. I don't know.

Not a bad idea for somebody to watch the store till I get my loan back.

Very good collateral, E .G.

What do you say, darling?

Darling?

Good day, ladies and gentlemen, members of Telso Industries and friends.

As chairman of Telso Industries, I can assure you that the growth projections

for our company are to say the least conservative.

Taking into account the startling proliferation of new techniques for our

company... No one move.

Spengler.

I have a speech for you to give.

Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce SS Sturmbandfuhrer Werner

Five of the SS.

Read.

Read.

These are all lies.

Read, or I kill you at the spot.

My dear stockholders, I thought it only... Louder!

I thought it only fitting that if I am to be your leader, you should know

something of my past work history.

It's absurd. No, I'm...

My true name is Spengler.

Werner R. Spengler, third in command of the extermination camp at

Kreblinka.

None of this is true. You are insane!

Read!

My primary function was the systematic disposal of thousands of unfortunates

shipped to me from the far corners of the right.

Please, none of this is true.

Please, go on.

This extermination was not an easy task.

The ovens had to run day and night, but I was very conscientious in my work.

When my men and I grew bored of the murdering, we... I

cannot say this. You did it. Say it.

Go on.

You and your men engaged in...

Say it.

Torture. And?

And?

Unnecessary experiments.

How do you plead to this, Spengler?

I am innocent. I did none of these things. You made me say it.

The chair.

Move it.

Move it!

Sit. Sit!

I sentence you to die.

Be the loser.

What more can I lose?

Joe, as your friend, I'm asking you not to do this.

What about Lily?

I'm a merciful man.

There are six bullets in this gun.

One for every million you and your kind kill.

I'm innocent.

The truth.

Please.

The truth.

And you can live with yourself.

Yes, all right. I did it. I did it all.

Please.

You have the courage to kill.

You have the courage not to.

Tiffany, aren't you going to say goodbye to your little roommate?

Goodbye.

I just got an offer I can't refuse.

Reynolds wants me to work for him.

Of course, he and Dad proposed as well.

Sounds irresistible.

I'd hold out for a big year -end bonus.

You have expensive taste. Bill, please.

We've been so concerned with the forecast, you didn't see the real news.

I love you.

A job offer?

Full time.

What's your proposition?

Why don't we go up to my office together?

Mr. Hoffman.

Frank Lowry, Department of Justice.

We'd like a word with you.

Uh, do you feel like talking now?

Sure, we might as well.

I've been thinking, um...

You know, a company should never tell an employee how to live her or his life.

Are they?

I love the St. Gregory.

But it shouldn't come between one and the person one cares about.

Peter, I didn't even realize that you were seeing someone.

I'm not.

You're not?

I'm talking about you and Peter.

Excuse me, I'm sorry.

Can I speak with you for a second?

Sure.

I was just wondering if I could cut out of here a little earlier tonight.

Heavy evening?

She lives in Berkeley.

Oh.

Peter?

Oh, yeah.

Sure, go ahead. Thanks.

You were about to say?

I say...

You've been working too hard. Thought I'm buying dinner tonight.

What's the boss going to say?

I can't chaperone the whole staff.
