Original subtitles

Max: This is my boss, Jonathan Hart,

a self-made millionaire.

He's quite a guy.

This is Mrs. H.

She's gorgeous.

She's one lady who knows how to take care of herself.

By the way, my name is Max.

I take care of both of them,

which ain't easy, because when they met,

it was murder.

Josh: You're welcome.

Patti, your husband is crazy

to spend so much time at the office.

Well, he's paying you

for the last two hours of...

tennis lessons.

I tell you what,

I'll throw in an extra hour for free.

Oh.

Generous to a fault.

Uh-hmm.

To an exciting woman.

Hmm.

What if Travis finds out?

I won't tell him if you don't.

Travis: But I already know it.

Ah!

Oh.

Hey, I know how this looks, Mr. Saunders,

but I just spilled some coffee after the tennis lesson

and Mrs. Saunders helped me clean up.

She can clean up the blood.

Josh: Travis. Travis, wait.

Wait. Listen to me.

Listen to me.

I can... I can make it up to you.

How?

Pay me off with a free tennis lesson, huh?

Secret information who's got the best backhand in town?

I can give you information, inside information.

I can make you a lot of money.

Yeah?

Dave Stockwood's antitrust case

is gonna lose.

How do you know that?

Susan, Mrs. Stockwood,

I give her lessons, too.

Susan Stockwood told you that?

Yes, yes.

A lot of wives tell me...

Tell me about their husband's business affairs.

They're lonely, they need somebody to listen to them.

Like I know you made a bundle on that video disc stock.

You know how to use that kind of information, Mr. Saunders.

I could find out a lot for you.

You gutless... Beverly Hills pillow talk.

- Yeah. - Love and money.

It might be worth a try, huh?

Uh-huh.

Patti: Oh.

You're not off the hook yet, Romeo.

You don't produce, I'll break your back.

Now, pick up your things and get out of here.

You won't regret it, Mr. Saunders.

I'll call you.

How did I do?

Beautiful.

Jonathan: Darling, this has got

- your name on it. - Oh, don't you dare.

- Your address. - No, don't.

Yeah, we win.

Good, huh?

Well, I guess that means we didn't win.

I'm sorry, partner. I shouldn't have been there.

Oh, you were great.

- Oh, no, you were greater. - Ah.

Nice game, Jonathan.

I am bushed.

Nice escape, Dave.

Oh, I cherish Dave not only as my friend,

but as my lawyer and as my tennis patsy,

so stay out of shape.

Never marry a young second wife.

Oh, I'll keep that in mind.

Oh, you two, you don't count.

Harts and their magical marriage.

What's your secret, Jennifer?

My secret?

Be his slave.

Pander to his every needs.

At your service, effendi.

Woman, where are the refreshments,

something cold to drink, hmm?

Ah, food taster, voila.

You're playing great.

I brought you some goodies.

- Thanks, Max. - Anything else?

Oh, no, that'll be fine.

- So, you do use magic? - Uh-huh.

She certainly does, Susan.

Now, there is no such thing as a free lunch.

This is the perfect opportunity to discuss

all the plans for the pro-celebrity tournament.

Hmm.

Jennifer, I'm sorry.

I forgot to tell you

I've got to go to Washington tomorrow.

I can't help you with the tennis tournament.

Oh, David.

And as a matter of fact,

we don't even have time to stay for lunch.

But David, you were gonna get me all the pros.

He got busy as usual.

But like a good friend should,

I got right on it.

I've been taking lessons from a teaching pro.

He used to do the circuit.

We're going to use his contacts.

Wonderful.

What's his name?

Josh Dunston.

I gave him your number, Jennifer.

He's going to call you.

Susan's grown very fond of him.

As a matter of fact, I'm spending a fortune

in tennis lessons.

Maybe I should take some myself.

Oh, Dave, I just gave you one.

We do have to go.

Oh, right, well,

I'll talk to you later on in the week, all right?

See you soon.

Hope it all goes well for you back there.

- Thank you. - Have a good flight, Dave.

- Bye-bye. Thanks. - See you.

- Bye-bye. - Good game.

- Bye. - Susan: Bye-bye.

They don't seem to be getting along too well these days.

No, I'm afraid they're not.

I know I shouldn't stick my nose into their business

but I do feel a little responsible

since I introduced them.

As a matter of fact,

the only time Susan never seems happy anymore

is when she's playing tennis or taking a lesson.

What are their problems? Any idea?

Maybe Dave shouldn't have married a younger woman.

Maybe.

I'm glad I married an older woman.

What?

You!

I'm effendi.

- I'll give you effendi. - Wait.

I'm sorry, Susan.

The firm's been having some problems

and I guess I've been taking it out on you.

Would it help to talk about it?

I'm gonna lose the Brookside Oil antitrust appeal.

I'll probably lose Brookside Oil as a client.

Somehow, and I don't understand how,

the other side learned what approach I was taking

and they were ready and waiting.

I just... I just... I don't know how they found out.

Baby, we'll survive.

Oh, Dave, I am so sorry.

Wasn't your fault.

Josh: Come on, Susan, it's ridiculous.

You can't believe what...

I talked about Dave's antitrust case.

You listened, filed it away

in that gritty little mind of yours, and then sold it.

Well, you didn't make me swear an oath of secrecy.

As I remember, you were really anxious

for somebody to listen to your problems.

Yes.

Well, I will just have to live with that,

with what I did.

It wasn't all that terrible, Susan.

And it's over, done.

You can tell your friend, Mrs. Hart,

that I've gotten her a few tennis stars

for her pro-celebrity tournament.

Tell her yourself.

Travis: Jennifer Hart.

- Her husband is... - Jonathan Hart.

Jonathan Hart Industries.

Big, solid money, smart money.

You just might pick up something valuable, Dunston.

If I do, I want 25% of the take.

Don't get greedy, 15% after expenses.

It could add up.

No more sweating your tail off on other people's tennis courts.

God, I would like that.

Rich is always better.

And just think how much fun

you're gonna have getting there.

Jonathan: All right, Arnold.

Go ahead and set up the meeting.

- Mr. H. - Hold up.

Mr. Dunston to see Mrs. H.

- Hello, Mr. Hart. - Oh, you're Susan's friend.

Yes. I'm delighted to help

with this tournament. It's a wonderful cause.

Well, I know that Jennifer's expecting you.

She should be down any minute. Max,

maybe Mr. Dunston would like to have a cup of coffee.

- Would you excuse me? - Of course.

Nothing right now, thanks.

Yes, Arnold.

That Syndicam Video,

oh, it certainly sounds like they're ready to be acquired.

Go ahead and set it up.

Yeah.

Call London and get their assessment

and have legal draft a memo.

Right. Thanks.

Jennifer: Hello.

- Mr. Dunston. - Josh: Yes.

Oh.

How you do? I'm Jennifer Hart.

- Please, call me Josh. - All right, Arnold.

You go ahead and proceed with that then.

I'll be in about a half an hour.

All right. Bye.

Sorry, darling, I have to go to the office, something's come up.

Alright, then I'll see you later.

Well, you're in good hands.

It was nice meeting you.

- Bye-bye. See you. - My pleasure.

Won't you sit down?

Jennifer: The club is donating their courts to us.

Now, if we could just get a few tennis stars,

we could draw a terrific crowd.

We were very lucky last year.

We raised 100 thousand dollars.

- Really? - Uh-hmm.

Which pros were here?

Connors, McEnroe, and Tracy Austin.

Oh, they'll be in France this year.

I know. I spoke to them.

I do have a call into Vijay Amritraj.

Oh, Vijay, he's a good friend of mine.

- Is he? - I'll call him today.

Oh, that would be great.

Martina Navratilova should be available.

Oh, she'd be wonderful.

I'm glad you think so.

- I guess I like you, Jennifer. - Oh, thank you.

Starting with the way you look in that outfit.

Oh. Thank you, Josh.

Are you going to play in the tournament?

No, no. I don't wanna embarrass my partner.

Not after a few personal lessons

from the magic hands of Backstroke Dunston.

- Oh, well, that's... - No charge.

That's very nice, but I'm so busy these days,

which reminds me, I have to go check on the luncheon menu

for the tournament, will you excuse me?

Of course. I'll be around.

Sure.

Bye.

Bye.

What'd you find out?

Ever hear of Syndicam Video?

Yeah. Why?

Hart Industries might be taking it over.

When and for how much?

I think maybe I can find out

from the lovely Mrs. Hart.

No ifs, no maybes.

We're talking about important money here.

You just make sure you get that information.

Whatever you have to do to Jennifer Hart,

get it.

Get it. Go.

Go boy.

Saved by the bell.

- Jennifer: Oh, please. - Third round and it won.

That machine was invented by a maniac

and perfected by a sadist.

You hit practically every shot.

You know, you should play in that tournament. Thanks, Max.

Oh, flattery will get you everything you want.

I'll get you something cool to drink.

You're going to stay here with us?

Our baby.

Good boy.

Cute old hound, huh?

How are things going with the tournament?

Oh, good.

Josh Dunston has been a big help.

But he's offered me free tennis lessons.

Uh-hmm.

As a matter of fact, I think he's making advances.

Well, he certainly has good taste.

He is very smooth and handsome

and a marvelous tennis player, so they say.

And I may have to murder him.

Hmm.

Really, darling, if he is bothering you,

we can get him out of our lives right now.

Well, he isn't really bothering me.

I have a feeling it's more of a reflex reaction with him.

Actually, I think he's having an affair with Susan.

You do?

Every time I try to get her,

she's busy, she's out on the court

having a tennis lesson.

So I drove by there,

tried to see her when she was having a lesson,

there was nobody on the court.

The neglected wife and handsome tennis pro, and...

It's a cliché, isn't it?

And it's none of our business, I know, but...

Susan's a friend and Dave's a friend

and I just hate to see them mess up their lives.

I got a line into Syndicam Video,

not the best.

I couldn't find out what kind of deal

Hart is gonna offer or how much.

But I found out when,

day after tomorrow, that's 48 hours.

That's how much time you got, partner.

What do we need to know?

Look, we buy Syndicam Video stock cheap,

when they merge, we got Hart industry stock.

The thing you have to find out is how much more.

It could be worth a hell of a lot.

I'll find out.

I'm gonna pay Jennifer Hart a visit this afternoon,

with a surprise just for her.

Something she wants?

A lot.

What?

A legend.

I cannot tell you how happy I am

we've had a chance to meet and talk and,

of course, I'm grateful you're gonna be with us.

Martina is a sucker for a good cause.

Just say children's hospital and she's pure Jell-O.

Oh, stop it, Josh.

I'm happy to be involved, Jennifer,

and I enjoy playing tennis.

Careful, we might have it out in the mixed doubles.

Hmm, I might enjoy that even more.

Ooh, I'd like to see that.

Could happen, but you'll have to excuse me now, Jennifer,

I have a match at the Forum tonight,

so I have to go.

Well, I'll be talking with you and I will send you

a whole pocket of information.

Max, would you see Martina out?

Max: With pleasure.

- Bye, Martina. - Bye-bye.

- Good luck. - Okay. Thank you.

Bye-bye.

Well, you got us a star.

I told you I'd deliver.

Fabulous.

Well, how about our private lessons,

2:00 tomorrow, all right?

Oh, Josh, I'm so sorry,

but I still have a hundred things to do

for the tournament, I'm afraid I can't.

Oh, that's too bad.

Well, anything you want

is all right with me, lovely lady.

Oh, thanks.

Bye.

Jennifer: Hi, Susan, come on in.

I was lonely, felt abandoned.

That's no excuse.

I'm not sitting in judgment of you, Susan.

We've been friends too long.

I just wanna help.

You are.

It was a cheap, tacky affair,

and got very expensive.

And now I have to tell Dave.

I wanna be honest with him, Jennifer.

I don't want any more cheating in our marriage.

I want it to be... solid, like yours.

Damn it, Jennifer, I just have to clean up

this mess I've made.

Dave loves you.

He'll understand, I'm sure of it.

Susan: I hope so, because it's not just the affair.

You are the only person that I can tell this to, Jennifer.

It has been tearing me apart.

I just have to get it all out.

Jonathan: Jennifer?

Jennifer: Oh, hello, darling.

Hi.

- Hello, Susan. - Susan: Hello.

Glad to see you.

Oh, I got the distinct feeling

that I may have interrupted something,

so I'll just go on my way.

Oh, it's all right.

No, no, no, Jonathan, don't leave.

Susan: I have a few things I should work out.

Susan, make me a promise, call me tonight?

I promise.

Thanks.

Bye-bye, Susan.

Problems?

I'll tell you about it.

Travis: She didn't tell Jennifer Hart about you,

- about the affair? - She was starting to

when Jonathan Hart came marching in.

Listen to this.

Man on Radio: There was a surprise increase

in the amount of Syndicam Video traded today.

Nearly 200,000 shares exchanged hands.

I bought almost all of those 200,000 shares

and before I invest any more money,

I need more information.

Well, I'm working on Jennifer Hart.

But if Susan tells her that I wrecked

Dave's Stockwood's antitrust case,

it'll blow me away.

So we can't let Susan Stockwood ruin all this,

can we, partner?

But how can I stop her from talking?

See if you can work that one out.

Woman: I'm sorry but Mr. Stockwood's room doesn't answer.

Would you care to leave a message?

No, no, I'll call back.

Thank you, madam.

Hello?

Hello?

Who's there?

Jonathan: How many times did you call before it was out of order?

Jennifer: At least seven.

Still out of order.

You don't think she would have done something stupid?

No, I don't think so, darling.

Anyway, we'll be there in a minute.

Jennifer: Susan? Susan!

Jennifer: Susan?

Susan.

Susan.

She's dead.

I'll call the police.

Jonathan?

Jonathan?

Probably done by a burglar, pro too.

Back door Jimmy, no prints, stocking mask.

You disturbed him and he panicked.

And murdered Susan.

Her husband's out of town.

I think I'll better be the one to tell him.

Sure. I understand, Mr. Hart.

But have him call me as soon as you tell him about it.

Come on, darling.

- Josh: Hi. - Man: Hi.

Jennifer, hi.

Jennifer: Oh, hi, Josh.

Have you heard? I've got your Vijay Amritraj

for the tournament. He's up there right now.

Oh, that's wonderful.

Oh!

Jennifer: Ooh.

Too good.

Please, don't encourage him, will you?

I thought I hit a winner.

You did. You just didn't hit it right.

Jonathan: Oh.

Woman: Excuse me, Mr. Amritraj,

can I have your autograph, please?

- Jennifer: Hi, darling. - Jonathan: How are you feeling?

- Jennifer: Okay. - Jonathan: Uh-hmm.

I just can't stop thinking about Susan.

Me either. I thought I could stop thinking about her

by coming up here and hitting a few shots with Vijay,

but no luck.

Dave is coming in at the airport at 4:30.

- I'm gonna pick him up. - Oh, yeah.

You all right?

I'll be all right.

- Drive safe. - Okay.

- Bye. - Bye. Thanks, Vijay.

- Thank you. - Oh. Hi, Vijay, how are you?

- Fine. How are you? - Great.

I just wanted to stop by and thank you

for participating in our tournament.

You're welcome.

How in the world did Josh convince you?

- Josh? You mean Dunston? - Yeah.

Martina called me up and said

how much you two do for the kid's hospital.

Martina?

But I thought you and Josh were close friends?

Well, not really. I knew him when he was

on the Pro Circuit,

but I'm just happy to do whatever I can to help.

It's my pleasure.

Oh, no, no, it's our pleasure.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

Dave: I appreciate you picking me up, Jonathan.

Jonathan: Of course.

Why are we stopping here?

I think you should prepare yourself for a shock, Dave.

I knew something was wrong.

I tried to call Susan last night, late,

but there was something wrong with the phone.

It's not the phone.

It's Susan.

She's left me? Uh-hmm.

Oh, no, come on, no, no, that's... no.

What is it?

She's dead.

She was murdered, Dave.

I'm sorry. I'm really very sorry.

Oh, geez.

Who did it?

They think it was a burglar.

I'm not so sure about that.

What does that mean?

Susan had a lot of personal problems.

She was afraid.

Jonathan: She was letting all of this out to Jennifer and

never had a chance to finish.

Do you have any idea

what she might have been worried about?

She's not dead.

She's not dead.

Dave?

What do you think she was worried about?

Oh, there's one thing.

I'm in a lot of trouble, Jonathan.

We're losing this antitrust suit

because somebody's got a pipeline to the law firm

and it had to come through me

but I'm not... I didn't say anything.

But Susan...

Susan, knew all about the case.

She might have talked to someone.

That's possible,

but that's no reason to kill her, is it?

Is it?

God.

Jonathan: Josh Dunston may be involved

with Susan's murder.

But it'll be safe.

Max will be on guard.

Look, I will invite Josh over

to give me a tennis lesson.

After the lesson, we'll come in the house

and then we'll come upstairs to the bedroom.

At precisely 2:00, I telephone.

Precisely.

And then you will give me some sort of

fake information about Hart Industries.

- Syndicam Video. - Fine.

And when I walk in Dunston takes off to his

mysterious financial partner

- and guess on the news. - Exactly.

And when it blows up,

they'll blow up at each other.

Nothing tests the temper

like the loss of a few million dollars.

Uh-hmm. It's perfect.

It'd better be perfect.

- Hmm, you know something. - What?

We work very well together.

See if you bring that racket back quickly enough

you can concentrate on hitting the ball

early in front of me.

Concentrate? For the last 20 minutes,

all I've been doing is concentrate on survival.

You really put me through my paces.

I'm in need of a shower.

I won't be but two minutes.

We can take our time, beautiful lady,

together.

Oh, well...

Oh.

Why don't you run the shower, baby?

Oh, what's the rush?

I've got some wine.

I will... oh, a bottle of Montrachet on the cooler.

I'll be right back.

Do you like wine?

I love wine afterwards.

Well...

I'm sorry. I'm a... I'm a little nervous.

I've never done this before and

I need a drink.

Hmm.

You're a slow drinker.

Oh, well, I never rush

the good things in life.

Finish your wine.

Oh. That's the trouble with modern life.

The neurotic pace of civilization,

the desperate haste for the true meaning,

don't you find that?

Yeah, I guess so.

Oh, excuse me.

Oh, I'm so sorry.

You know, this happens when I drink too fast.

Oh.

Oh.

How long does it usually last?

As long as it takes.

Oh, God.

Oh.

Hours sometimes.

Better?

Oh,

sometimes it helps if you rub my feet.

- Oh, really? - Yeah.

Oh, that feels good.

Oh, let me answer. I'll get rid of it.

Hello?

Jonathan: Hello, darling?

I hope that busy signal didn't mean what I'm afraid it did.

My husband's not here.

He's at the office.

I'm not a messenger.

All right. What is it?

Syndi what?

Uh-huh.

All right.

I love you, darling?

I'll be there on one minute.

Good-bye.

Now, where were we?

What was that all about?

Oh, it's just some dumb business of my husband's.

He's trying to take over a new company,

Syndicam Video, something or other.

It's selling for $50 a share.

Oh, why does it matter?

Oh.

- Oh. - Who's that?

- My husband. - You're kidding?

Oh, you've got to get out of here.

- Oh, my God. - Quick. Quick.

Oh, the window!

Hurry. Hurry.

Let me help you.

Hurry!

Jonathan: Jennifer? It's me, where are you?

Jennifer: Up here.

Jonathan: Jennifer?

What are you doing up here?

Jennifer: Waiting for you as usual, darling.

You all right?

No, I have the hiccups.

I really do.

Jonathan: All right. Thank you.

- Jennifer: Well? - It's working.

Somebody's been buying up Syndicam Video

since the market opened this morning.

The shark?

He'll be investing a bundle

so he'll be here keeping an eye on Dunston.

Jennifer: Oh, great.

Now, the only trick is gonna be to keep Josh

occupied in the court till the market closes at one.

How you gonna steal him for two hours?

I have a secret weapon.

Jennifer: Oh.

- Huh? - Ah!

Fifty bucks a share?

And that's in Hart Industry stock

for shares we've bought at less than eight.

We're gonna be very, very rich, partner.

Man over P.A.: Josh Dunston, to center court, please.

Go get him.

This is Travis Saunders,

I wanna buy another 200,000 shares

of Syndicam Video.

That's right. I know the price is going up,

just buy them.

Man over P.A.: Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.

Today's final match features

Ms. Martina Navratilova

and Mr. Jonathan Hart

versus Mr. Josh Dunston

and Ms. Francis Stevens.

Man on TV: Due primarily to investor uncertainty

about current economic trend.

Activity was brisk

on the New York Stock Exchange this session.

Among the volume leaders at midpoint today

is Syndicam Video, up 7 points

on volume of 178,000 shares.

No reason for the volume yet,

but there has been considerable speculation

that a takeover is in the offing,

although Syndicam Video management

has declined to comment.

Man over P.A.: Ms. Martina Navratilova will serve first.

Lines people, ready?

Ball persons, ready?

Play.

Remember, we've got to stall him

so save the good stuff for later.

Okay. Well, I can't save too much of it

because they're pretty good, but I'll try.

Just carry me, okay? Carry me.

Okay. No problem.

Man over P.A.: Love-15.

Man over P.A.: 15, all.

Man over P.A.: 30-15.

It's my money, Alex. Just keep buying.

Man over P.A.: Game to Navratilova and Hart.

They lead, five games to four, first set.

Change sides, please.

Josh: You're playing like this was Wimbledon, Martina.

Martina: Well, I don't like to lose anywhere.

Josh: Neither do I.

Man over P.A.: Mr. Dunston to serve.

Man over P.A.: 15-love.

Man over P.A.: 30-love.

Sorry about this.

Sorry about what?

What I'm gonna have to do.

Time out.

Man: Is there a problem, Mr. Hart?

Yes, there is. These people are bothering me.

- They're in my eyeline. - Man: What?

My eyeline, I can't concentrate

with the people back there. It breaks my concentration.

Man: I'm sorry, Mr. Hart, but the rules are very clear.

Jonathan: What rules? What rules are you talking about?

These people are bothering me.

I can't see what... I can't concentrate.

What do you want me to do?

Man on TV: In other news, commodity prices fell seasonally,

due primarily to investor uncertainty

about current economic trends.

Man over P.A.: Out.

Love-30.

Out?

It was out two inches.

What do you mean it was two inches out?

Did you see that?

Are those glasses prescription?

- Can you see all right? - Man: Now, Mr. Hart.

Mr. Hart, I don't wanna warn you.

Jonathan: You don't have to warn me,

just get some linesman who can see.

Keep your eyes open, will you?

What kind of a call was that?

Jonathan: Martina, let me see that ball.

Is that a little flat?

Martina: I think it's dead.

Dead ball and the number one star in tennis.

I can't believe it. A dead ball.

Ha, what about that one?

Martina: Well, it looks a little dirty to me.

Come one. Give her a clean ball.

Throw her a ball. Let's get going.

Man: Service.

Jonathan: Try to the best you can now, Martina.

Man on TV: Fluctuations in the price of gold

on the London and Hong Kong exchanges

reflected further uncertainty

in the middle market futures today.

Just keep me posted, Alex.

Okay.

Man over P.A.: Game, set score is now

4 games to 2, second set,

Mr. Dunston to serve.

Hold it, hold it, hold it.

Listen, I think we've chewed up enough time.

You can throw in the good stuff now.

Oh, great. I'd love it.

Sorry about that.

Shoe. Shoelace.

Man over P.A.: Service.

Man over P.A.: Love-15.

Man on TV: We'll get back to our report in just a minute.

We have a bulletin.

Syndicam Video has just announced

that they're filing for bankruptcy.

Trading at Syndicam stock has been suspended.

When an attempt to secure financing

from Jonathan Hart Industries failed,

Syndicam directors were forced to declare

the company insolvent.

Syndicam stock is essentially worthless.

No further details at this time

but we'll bring you any further developments

as we receive them.

I did that?

And you did it just right, too.

How'd you feel about that, Mr. Dunston?

Watch out.

You have ruined me, Dunston!

You and Ms. Hart.

Ah.

The police are outside.

It's too late, Hart.

A woman.

Good Lord.

Good.

Okay.

Just follow right through, darling.

Darling, you told me four times.

I'm just trying to share with you

what I learned from Martina.

- Oh, great. - Jonathan: I wasn't too bad.

- Was I? Now just... - No, no. You were fabulous.

Okay. I just... Hit it at eye level.

- Like that? - Jonathan: Well, sort of like that.

- Jennifer: Like that? - Yeah.

How about that?

- And how about this? - Oh!
