Is it okay if I keep seeing Daphne?

Of course it's okay.

I think he's jealous.

Well, it really doesn't matter, Chris, because I don't think we should be going

out together anymore.

Why? If you want to see me, that's fine.

But don't think I'm not going to play the field, okay?

You're just going to have to wait in line like everyone else. So what are you

saying? You used me?

I guess I did.

I've got two tickets to T -Mobile George and Conway. Do you want to go with me?

No, I don't think it's okay. I've got a lot of work to do.

Hey, guys. I'm going to run inside now.

And what?

Nothing. All right.

Let's talk.

What's light through yonder window, Greg?

Because it is.

And Juliet is the son.

Come on, Mr. Kane.

Nobody's going to ask me to do no Shakespeare. I stink at this stuff.

My dear boy, the fact that an actor stinks should never stop him.

Lord knows I've polluted enough stages in my time.

Wait a minute. Hold on, guys. Now, I want to continue working on this scene.

Now, who in this class does not have a partner?

Good. Anybody else?

Bill. Leroy and Cleo. A perfect couple.

Who said you made a fool of yourself?

Casting, labels, the director, producer.

It's only three people's opinion.

What was the part?

Tomato. Tomato.

You were torturing yourself because you lost the part of a tomato?

It's a national commercial. You know what kind of cash that is?

I wonder why my agent didn't call me about that part.

I mean, I was humiliated.

What do you know about humiliation?

You're too young.

I have five ex -wives collaborating on a book about my life.

A book full of trash, rubbish, and sordid... What?

...word that they were.

You really have five ex -wives?

Vanessa, Laurel, Dominique, Jane.

Trevor, you've gotten shorter.

A vitamin deficiency caused by the fact that your alimony check has been late

three months in a row.

Oh, I'm sorry. I switched business managers. You know how it is.

I do hope you haven't come all this way to renew our acquaintance.

I've gone off women completely.

In fact, I'm practicing celibacy.

You expect me to believe that?

As I say, I'm practicing. I haven't got it down perfect yet.

Oh, I'm so sorry.

Chris Donovan, my fifth wife.

Daphne Simone.

Ex -wife.

Hello, Chris.

Daphne. Simone.

This is an honor.

I mean, you were great in that TV series you did.

You know, when I was a stuntwoman, I went around solving crimes in my bikini.

Oh, man, I loved you in that.

How come you quit that show?

Well, I got a part in a Broadway play that could actually establish me as a

serious actress.

But I need some coaching.

You want me to coach you?

You're the best.

That's true.

So will you?

Well, I don't know. I'm very busy.

I'll pay you.

One is never too busy to teach an old wife.

new tricks.

When do we start?

This afternoon.

Randall Garrett said that he would rehearse with me, play the part of my

Randall Garrett.

Randall Garrett couldn't act his way out of a brown paper bag.

I think we should use a real actor.

I suggest we use Chris.

Me? Yes, you.

He's a good actor.

Well, I'm sure he is, but I want Randall.

I just bet you do.

Well, am I going to coach you or not?

All right.

Uh, Chris, would you mind?

Would I mind? I would be thrilled.

Thank you, Mr. Kane. This is great.

It's going to be like we're going to Johnny Ninks.

Crazy in love, but they fought all the time. It got so bad, the papers started

calling him the Clashing King.

How come people in love have to fight all the time?

Ask Nicole.

Usually it's the guys.

I'll tell you one thing, I would not fight with that woman.

She is fine. We're talking about Mr. King's wife, Chris.

Ex -wife, Cassidyne. They're divorced.

This is a sacred relationship, Donnelly.

She was a laborer in all the Dr.

Scorpio films. Oh, man, why don't you give those movies a rest, man? Even Cain

gets embarrassed when you talk about it. The last one was my favorite, Journey

Past the Mind.

Their love transcended the screen.

You know, I really like to love myself.

We're not going to find it in this school.

Hey, Danny.

Yeah? Hey,

who's your Juliet in Cain's class?

Marion Blunt.

She's a dog.

That being nice, she's a refrigerator with a head.

I tell you what, how would you like to trade with me? I'll give you Cleo for

her. Are you crazy, man? What are you, into pain?

You have to know I'm a salooner. Well, I don't know, man. I got to go ask my

Juliet. Go.

It's been so long, David.

Far too long.

Yes, it has.

Uh... Chris.

Just a minute.

Chris. You're not the television repairman.

You're her lover, see?

Now, when you kiss her, I'd like to feel like an explosion between the two of

you. Now, let me show you.

Darling, give me the light. Oh.

It's been so long, David.

Far too long.

Yes.

Now, that's a kiss.

Got it?

I think so.

All right, let's take it again from the top.

jerk the man is not a jerk okay hey look you're a cute girl with a lot going for

you and if leroy johnson can't see that then he's a jerk okay so what he's a

jerk i'm still crazy about him what am i supposed to do forget him look for

other guys play the field i don't want other guys i want leroy you're best fed

at getting leroy's forgetting he even exists i'm confused

Don't you get it, Cleo? Guys play games. They started it. Well, we got to play

games too.

Can't ever let them be too sure of me. What you want to do is get their

and keep them on real shaky ground.

Well, how do I get his interest?

There's only one way.

Other guys.

You guys, I don't know if I like all this game playing stuff.

She doesn't like the game play.

But I survived.

I'm black and blue, but I'm still alive.

Much stronger now than I was then.

This girl will not be fooled.

No, no.

Thank you.

Hotel Clancy where I stay.

Grandma, are you inviting me to dinner?

No, no.

But if you ever need to grab a bite, that's a good place if you're hungry.

Oh, well, I couldn't join you anyway. I'm going to a party tonight.

Party? Mm -hmm.

Why wasn't I invited?

It's at the plaza you were banned for life, remember?

I cannot believe I am the only man in the world ever to have danced on the oak

bar at the Plaza Hotel with a bowl of peanuts on my head. Are you forgetting,

Trevor, you were naked at the time?

I remember it well.

That was the night we met?

Yes. You would be very impressed if I remember right this time.

I'd better go.

Taxi!

I suppose Mr.

Goodluck and no talent will be there tonight.

I should hope so. He's the one who's throwing the party.

He's a notorious womanizer, you know. You really need an escort.

Chris. Mr. King.

I'd like to thank you for letting me work with you. It's always great.

It's going to get greater.

You are escorting Daphne to a party tonight at the Plaza Hotel.

I am?

He is?

What a party that was.

Here we are.

Paul Newman's a great guy.

I can't believe it.

He's like so regular.

I think he liked me.

Oh, well, you're easy to like.

You think so?

Sure. You made quite a hit.

Never wore a tuxedo before.

How do I look?

Handsome. Very handsome.

I mean, next to Paul Newman, how do I look? Well, that's a tough one.

Nah, just kidding.

You know, I was really surprised Mr. Kane asked me to do that scene with you.

Yeah, well, that's Trevor. He's just full of surprises.

He's something else, I'll tell you.

Yeah, he is. Just don't ever be married to him.

When I'm down, he picks me up.

When I'm having trouble on a part or something, he stays after school and

on it with me.

He's always there when I need him, you know?

Daphne, you okay?

I'm fine.

Did I do something wrong?

Did I say something wrong?

No, no, I'm just talking a little bit.

You?

Why? You have everything.

Yeah.

Are you going to be okay?

All right.

All right.

You're going to study, Sam?

Yes.

You're going to go off and hold this guy, right? Yes.

It's time to pay, okay?

Uh -uh.

All right.

Talk to you, man.

How you doing?

I'll tell her too, though.

I'll see you later.

Yeah.

What's up?

Uh, what's that I heard about when Cleo goes to the movies?

Yeah, man, what about it?

Well, you think that's a good idea?

Well, I don't know, man. I haven't seen the movie yet.

You don't see me taking Marianne Blount to the movies.

What's the matter, man?

Me and Theo, we have a good time together, that's all. What's the

No problem.

No problem at all.

And now, the lounge.

You'll notice that the hand is in the pronation position.

See the line of the arm?

And the knee is over the foot.

Okay, gentlemen, we'll pick it up in this position tomorrow, okay?

Oh, Chris, would you mind helping me back up with the present?

Yeah.

Great. Did Daphne enjoy it?

Yeah.

Did you have a good time?

Yeah, I guess so.

Guess, don't you know?

Well, she was a little sad.

Sad?

All night?

Well, she was laughing with Grandma Garrett.

She was?

Did they say anything? Did they go anywhere? You didn't let them out of

sight, did you? No.

Well, maybe for one or two minutes when I was talking to Paul Newman. He was

there. Paul Newman.

Did Daphne talk to Paul Newman?

Mr.

Kane, are you sure you don't have feelings for Daphne?

No, no, no. Dead long ago past.

No, I just have a parental feeling for her. I wouldn't want her to get hurt.

Chris, would you do me a favor?

Would you keep her company?

You know, a squatter around.

New York can be a very lonely city.

I don't think that's such a good idea, Mr. King.

Listen, is it a question of money?

Fancy restaurants, cabs and things like that?

Well... Don't worry.

Daphne has plenty.

Well, will you do it?

What if she says no?

You'll never know till you ask, will you?

I don't know, you guys.

I think I'm starting to get it over my head.

You know, I think Danny really likes me.

That's the whole idea.

What if he gets hurt? I don't want him to get hurt. You know, he's a nice guy.

A nice guy?

Well, it's possible, isn't it?

Is it?

Do guys get hurt?

I don't know.

Not the really cute ones, anyway, Cleo.

Well, Danny's real cute.

Don't tell me you're starting to like him.

Kind of.

Beautiful.

Just beautiful.

The girl is in a no -lose situation, and she doesn't even know it.

Oh, come here.

Yo, man, you want to go to a movie tonight?

I can't. I'm going out with Daphne.

Daphne Simone?

Yeah, listen, Donald. I'll admit that next to me, you're probably the most

attractive guy in this school.

But what makes you think she'd be interested in you?

Well, we've been out for the last three nights in a row.

You figure it out.

I'm going to figure it out.

Did I hear you right, Donald?

You say you're dating Daphne Simone?

Yeah, I'm seeing her.

If it's any of your business.

What do you mean, seeing her?

Having dinner, going to the movie.

Generally talking about very deep things.

Wake up, Chris. She's Mr. Cain's wife. Hey, man, they're divorced.

Cain doesn't even care. How do you know if he cares? Did you tell him how you

feel? No, but I'm planning on it.

Oh, right.

I'm appalled.

Good morning, gentlemen.

Good morning, Mr. Cain. Good morning, Jesse. Just get going. Come on. Mr.

Cain.

I've been seeing her every night now for the last three days. Good, good, good.

How's it going?

It's going great.

The thing is, it is going great.

Great, great. You're keeping those wolves at bay, are you?

Yeah, I will.

I'm the only guy who can see it.

Good, good.

Keep up the good work.

Anything else?

No, that covers it. Good, sir.

It came in, so one more thing.

I'm crazy about her.

And I think you're starting to feel something for me, too.

Something for you, too.

Would you define what that something might be?

Just kind of special. Special.

Special.

Why are you telling me all this?

Because I'm beginning to feel kind of guilty.

Mr. Kane, is it okay if I keep seeing Daphne?

Of course it's okay.

Why wouldn't it be okay?

I told you it was okay. Okay? Okay.

All right, gentlemen, let's take our position.

Mr. Kane, take it easy.

And that is what they call touche.

I'm going to have me scared there for a second. Yes, I...

I think I was possessed by the ghost of Errol Flynn there for a moment.

My love is deep. The more I give thee, the more I have, for both are infinite.

I hear some noise within.

Dear love, I do.

You know, you really make a great Romeo.

It says that Shakespeare really wrote the part just for you.

Well, you know, it must be the Italian in media. And you ain't no slouch as

Juliet.

Come on, let's go get a hot dog.

Who's buying?

All right, we'll go Dutch.

Do you have anything to buy?

Amen.

He's acting kind of funny.

Funny?

Why are you saying that?

I think he's jealous.

Oh, yeah. Well, it really doesn't matter, Chris, because I don't think we

be going out together anymore.

Why?

Because we're bordering on going past the line of friendship, and I don't

that's a good thing.

Why not? I think we can have a great thing.

Yeah.

Somebody's feelings are liable to get hurt.

I told you.

You ain't gonna hurt my feelings.

It's not just you.

Mr. King?

All right, shall we get started?

Let's take it from the top of the latsy.

Hello, Trevor.

Hello, Miss Simone.

Okay, let's start.

David.

Too long.

Yes, it is.

Chris, just hold it a minute.

What's wrong, Trevor?

I don't know. I can't put my finger on it.

Let's try it again, only this time, let's try it without the passion.

Without passion? Yes, without the kiss.

Without the embrace.

Let's try it with absolutely no...

Catching at all. That's ridiculous, Trevor.

This is a love scene.

People in love kiss and touch.

Yes, I know, Daphne, but I've seen love scenes played like that a thousand

times. It's trite.

Trite? Yes, it's banal.

It's a cliché is what it is.

Well, maybe you'd like Chris and I to play it in separate rooms.

Well, that would be better than what I just saw.

I mean, kissing and touching. Anybody can do a love scene kissing and

Chris, would you excuse us for a moment?

Yeah, sure.

You hypocrite.

I can't believe that you're willing to sabotage my performance just because

you're jealous of a very attractive, extreme... and much, much younger man.

you're jealous. Don't be ridiculous.

I've been trying to protect the boy.

From what?

From you, my dear.

Getting involved with a much older woman can be very traumatic for a very

attractive, very well -built, young, young man.

Daphne Simone.

It's over.

I dropped her.

Wait, you dropped her? What's the punchline?

No punchline. You know how ladies are.

I was trying to tie you down. She's getting too involved with you. Yeah,

hate this.

You think she'd go out with me?

You are absolutely crazy, Trevor. I want you to stay away from me, understand?

Just stay out of my life.

Gladly, my dear, if you will stop cradle -snatching my students.

Stop giving me orders, Trevor.

I can see anybody I want. You don't own me.

And another thing.

What about my alimony check?

Chris, about going out tonight, I'd love to.

Pick me up at 8?

Let's make it 7 .30. Great.

See you at 7 .30. Yeah.

Winner. Tough time letting go.

I don't get it.

First you said you'd go out with me, then you say you won't, then you say you

will. I'm sorry, Chris. I'm really sorry.

You're sorry? You're driving me crazy over here. I didn't mean to. It's

He brings out the worst in me.

So what are you saying?

You used me?

I guess I did.

Well, it's not fair. We didn't even do nothing.

continued to torture me with these old Scorpio movies.

Because I told you, this is the best one of all of them.

You two were great together.

Yes.

We were.

She's beautiful.

Yeah. She is.

And she's out with Chris Donovan tonight.

School stud.

Cassidy, if you're trying to make me jealous, you're wasting your time.

I'm already jealous.

What am I supposed to do?

I don't know.

What would Dr.

Scorpio have done?

I gotta go.

I'll see you later.

Trevor!

Ah, just as I thought.

Cheating on me. Are you out of your mind? Of course I'm out of my mind.

anybody sane break down a hotel door? Well, just what do you want? What do I

want? You.

I've come to sweep you off your feet. It always works. Well, not this time. You

had your chance and there are no second chances.

Baseball players get six hits.

What are you... Put me down.

Where are you taking me? I'm taking you to the classy hotel where we can be

alone. Don't worry, darling.

The world is full of married women. Trevor.

Okay. Stop.

Room 30, sir.

Ticket to the Hotel Clancy.

Love never comes easy

Boy, you had to learn the hard

way You wanted someone to

love you

Not in that good old fashioned way.

She was one of those broken hearted people.

Let them break your heart again Knew

she was out to hurt you She

came in with fire in her eye But

in the morning she'd never desert you She'd just break down

and cry So you fall for all those promises and love.

again.

Thank you for a lovely evening, darling. Oh, thank you.

Let's never do it again.

You don't have to worry about that, Trevor.

I'm leaving New York, I'm giving up the play, and I'm going back to California

tonight.

You're not that bad.

All you have to do is ask me to stay.

Daphne, I cannot make that kind of commitment.

Why not?

Because I'm broke, because I'm living in this fleabag hotel.

We'd spend the rest of our lives eating up a hot plate.

Well, then I guess it's goodbye.

Yes, I guess it is.

I'm going to miss you.

Why did you have to say that?

It's true, I guess.

You won't let go.

And you won't let me let you go.

You want it both ways, Trevor. Well, I'm sorry.

You're not going to get it because this time I am letting go.

Goodbye.

Are you following me?

No, I'm speaking to Chris.

Hey, Daphne. Chris, can I speak to you for a moment?

I don't feel much like talking.

It won't take very long, please.

Please.

Chris, I didn't mean for anybody to get hurt.

Hey, don't worry about it. Nobody got hurt.

Maybe a little.

I'm sorry, Chris.

If you're ever in love with someone you really love...

Then maybe you'll understand just how crazy it can make you.

Yeah.

You know, Mr. Cain, you're a lucky guy.

Yeah, well, I'm leaving.

What do you mean you're leaving? For good?

What about last night, you and Mr. Cain?

Last night was last night.

Did you even like me a little?

I liked you more than a little.

Yeah.

I mean, basically,

all this thing between you and Danny is not going to work out.

Oh, it's not?

Well, did Danny tell you this?

No, he doesn't know yet.

But I'm going to tell him.

I mean, he's just not the right guy for you.

Well, if he isn't, Leroy, just who is? I don't know.

A lot of guys. Other guys.

She's got him on the road.

Definitely down the count.

Leroy, if you're interested in me, why don't you just come out and say it like

man, okay?

All right. All right.

So would you go out with me tonight?

I can't. I'm seeing Danny.

Now, wait a minute. No, you wait a minute.

If you want to see me, that's fine.

But don't think I'm not going to play the field, okay?

You're just going to have to wait in line like everyone else. So take it or

leave it.

I have to take it.

Well, next Monday night I'm free.

You can pick me up at 8 o 'clock at my place.

Be there.

On time.

Chris, I am truly sorry about my deplorable behavior last night.

I promise you I'll make it up to you in some way. Forget about me, Mr. King.

What about Daphne?

Daphne, uh... Daphne and I came to an understanding.

Some understanding.

She loves you, Mr. King.

Yes, I really don't want to discuss this with her.

Just answer me one question.

Do you love her?

Chris, it doesn't matter if I say yes or no. I'm no good at love.

And I'm sick and tired of making the same mistake over and over again.

Well, if you ask me, you're making the biggest mistake of your life right now.

She loves you.

And you love her.

And you're messing it up.

Any way I look at it, you're a hell of a jerk.

Yet, were thou as far as the vast shore washed with the furthest sea, I would

adventure for such merchandise.

Thou knowest the mask of night is on my face.

Else would a maiden blush the pain my cheek for which thou hast heard me speak

tonight.

Fain would I dwell on the boy.

Be fain tonight.

At the heart of all my...

You're there.

Jane, how were we?

To be perfectly frank with you, Nicole, I am one hell of a jerk.

Daphne.

give you something. Here.

Something I know will mean a lot to you.

Oh, how sweet. My alimony check.

You do care after all.

I always have.

You know, I've never said this to a woman before, Daphne, but I'm quite fond

this. Trevor, you're such a jerk. I know.
