Come on then. Check to him.

Man: Go, go, go!

Safe!

That's it. Come on.

Pitch it in.

Man: Run, run, run!

Fair ball!

Fair ball? That ball was foul,
you blind son of a bitch!

It was that side of the tree!

By 5 yards that ball was foul!

What the hell
do we have a tree for?

Why do we have a tree

if the ball falls
5 yards that side,

and you still call it fair?

Give me my ball.

Give me my kid... huh?

If you've finished trampling
on him, that is.

Oh, right.

Thank you.

Come on.

There you go, pal.

You all right?

Can I have my ball? What?

You're holding my ball.

Oh, your ball.

Thanks. Any time.

What about your ball?

Come on.

Oh.

Oh. Share it?

Why not?

Man: Where to?

Where to?

80 grovenor street, please.

Lady's going
to 80 grovenor street.

I'll be going on.

That is exactly 60 pence
with the tip.

Forget it.

It's the right amount.
I take this trip every day.

Not necessary.

How kind. I'll buy a house
in the country.

Terrible weather.

Oh, filthy.

If you live in London,
you have to expect it.

Do you live in London?

- I do.
- Me too.

Really? Five years.

Good lord. Practically a native.

Last habitable city in the world,
London; Wouldn't you say?

Yes, I would.

You can do anything you like.
Nobody bothers you.

No.

My name is Steven blackburn.

Vickie allessio.

Oh, sounds Italian.

It's my husband's name.

Were those your kids
in the park?

Yes.

Nice-looking little boys.

Thank you, but one of those
little boys is a little girl.

Oh, I see.

I suppose your husband likes
to sleep late on Sundays.

Yes, he does.

I suppose you like to go home
and cook him a nice breakfast.

No.

Don't you like to cook?

I love to cook.
Doesn't he like to eat?

He loves to eat.

I-I don't understand.

We have different kitchens...
His is in Milan.

That's a shame.

Please don't cry.
He found another cook.

Oh.

Thank you very much.

Mrs. allessio?

You have a very good memory.

What about tea? “When?

Tomorrow?

Fine.

The Churchill.

Oh, great. See you then.

What time?

Um, 4:00.

You sure it won't break up
your day?

Don't cross-examine me
in the rain.

I'll be there wet,
but I'll be there.

Steven:

Just a second, Terry.
Good afternoon.

How about lunch tomorrow?
We haven't had tea yet.

If I can change one appointment,

I can be clear.

I know nothing about you,
except you play baseball.

And from the way you played,

you obviously don't do that
for a living.

I'm in insurance, I'm married,

I have two kids, and I'm a Leo.

What about lunch tomorrow???

I think we ought
to see how tea goes.

See how tea goes.

I'll talk to you later, Derek.

Who's Derek?

Derek is my male secretary.

Tea for two, please.

And what do you do?

I'm in the rag trade.

Ah, buy or sell?

I steal.

Steal?

I steal designs from dior,
cardin, givenchy,

and I send them to my boss
Mr. Sam fingleman of New York,

who makes them up
in very cheap materials.

Sounds like very creative work.

Thank you.

Where'd you learn that, Paris?

No, Italy.
I took a course in Milan.

Enter Mr. allessio,
also in the rag trade.

No, he specialized in charm.
It comes easy to Italians.

We were married
for several years

and had two children
and three cars,

and he kept the cars.

What about child support?

He won't send me anything
for the kids

if I don't send him something
for the cars.

What about your wife?

Good-looking, bright,
articulate.

She can start a fire with
two pieces of wood.

We've been married for 11 years,

and not once in all that time

have I ever been unfaithful
to her in the same city.

Where is she now?

Out of town. What about lunch?

What do you have in mind?
Just lunch.

Where?

I know a cute little
continental restaurant.

Italian?

Yeah, continental.

It's discreet, out of the way.

It's sort of a hotel.

It's Avery nice hotel.

It's got good food,
great wine...

It's... l mean... it's... it's...

Oh, what the hell?
A girl has to eat.

It's difficult
to steal in France

because they expect you
to steal.

Waiter.

I'm boring you.

Not at all.

Why are you asking
for the check?

I would've liked coffee.

Of course.

It's just that, um,
I've got this friend,

and he's got this little, um...

Little place upstairs.

I thought we'd have some coffee

and a little, uh...

Cognac?

You've been there before.

I'm wildly guessing.

Well, shall we?

Why not?

Why pay for something
when you can get it for free?

Hmm?

I didn't mean that to sound
the way it sounded.

Please forget I ever said it.

Certainly.

Where do I go?

This way.

Thank you.

Thank you, sir.

Steven: How long
have you been divorced?

About six months.

You had two kids
in the first three years?

I had two kids
in the first two years.

Was he catholic?

No, he wasn't catholic,
and I wasn't careless.

I just wanted those kids,
but I don't know,

it all suddenly became
extremely finis.

Then why'd you keep his name?

It was the only thing
he was giving away.

My god, you ask
a lot of questions.

People either hate it
or love it.

It's about 70/30.

Milk and sugar?

Sugar, please. Sugar.

You know, it's a funny thing...

I can always tell about people.

I know immediately
when I'm relating to someone.

I felt it right away with you.

Do you feel it?

Well, I... l must be feeling
something.

Otherwise, why ami sitting here

when I should be out stealing

Saint Laurent's new Autumn line?

Exactly.

Can I say something to you?

In the past two days,

you have picked me up
in the rain,

given me tea, bought me lunch,

and lured me to this hideaway

with the intention
of getting me into bed

for what you Americans
so charmingly call a quickie.

Is that a fair resume so far?

Why do women
always think the worst?

Why does sex always have
to be the first thing... yes.

Well, I'll be honest with you...

I'm a divorced woman,
I'm under a lot of strain,

I am not sleeping too well,

and I could do
with some uninvolved sex

with someone who loves his wife

and isn't going to be a pain
in the ass when it's over.

This must be your lucky day.

Not in this overworked
little joy station

where the sheets haven't
been changed in a week.

I have to be back in my office
in half an hour.

If you would like to arrange
a nice weekend somewhere,

away from London,
preferably in the sun,

please do.

I would be very happy
to go with you.

Say something. Is it adeal?

Probably do us both
a world of good.

You rather more than me.

Terribly sorry. It's all right.

I have another one.

Anything special, Derek?

Uh, no, not really.

Just the weekly
sarcastic note from New York.

Donnelly is still wondering

why Paris keeps
running ahead of us

on sales and adjustments.

Also, braithwaite took
his usual upside-down look

at this lot,

and started measuring
your chair size.

Anything else?

Isn't that enough?

Would you mind getting me

one of those continental
weather reports?

Continental weather report.

Yeah.

Oh.

Excuse me.

Uh...

What?

Oh. Come in.

Good afternoon.

Got a surprise.

What?

I've arranged us
a week in Spain.

Could you just move?
Because I'm trying to sketch,

and I can't actually
see through you.

A week? I said a weekend.

You can't just spend
a weekend in Spain.

Who's going to look
after my children?

Who's going to run this place?

You'll love it...
Warm winds, great food,

buffet right by
the swimming pool,

big soft towels...

You can see Gibraltar.

I would adore to see Gibraltar,

but I have a dog
that needs exercise,

a cat that is losing its hair,

and a model
who can't stand straight.

Maggie, please.

There are no problems
that we cannot overcome.

Why aren't you at the airport?

Because, my dear Mrs. allessio,

I am only mortal.

I'm not Apollo.

God gave me hands, not wings.

What an oversight.

Just sign it.
I've got a car waiting.

Hello, I'm Cecil fleurmat.
Steven blackburn.

Buying or selling? Begging.

A customs declaration
should be typed.

It'd take forever, sweetie pie.

I only type with one finger,
and I've hurt it.

Please don't tell me how.

Vickie, there's
a long-distance call for you.

It's New York.

Here, get that to the airport.

Teatime, Maggie.

Sam, how are you?

No, I'm fine. Yes.

No. Let them run the ad.

They'll be there
11:00 your time.

Listen, Sam,
are you standing up?

Well, then sit down
because I know you very well,

and what I'm about to say
will get you terribly excited.

Guess where I'm going
tomorrow? Spain.

- Marbella.
- Marbella.

It's near malaga.

It's near malaga.

No, no, I'm not going alone.

I'm going with a fella,
a very classy fella.

That doesn't make you excited?

Oh, you're getting old

because it excites
the hell out of me.

Yes, I will. I will do that.

Yes, goodbye.

I told him you're
a classy fellow. Are you?

Got to be. I live around
the corner from disraell.

There we are. Thank you.

Come on, Josie.

Well, here we are at last.

Gently does it, Gloria.

Thanks, daddy.

Don't you think
we should've wired Steve

we were coming?

Why spoil his fun? This way,
he'll have a lovely surprise.

Good afternoon.

I'm miss ramos.
Can I help you, sir?

My name is blackburn.

Reservations... two
round trip tickets to malaga,

night flight tonight.

Thank you, Mr. blackburn.
I'll just check.

The seats are available, sir.

Oh. Charge mine
to my travel card.

I'll pay
for the other one in cash.

Why not charge
both tickets, Mr. blackburn?

See, this is a business card.

I charge my ticket
to the business.

They pay for it,

and the other is a surprise
vacation trip for my mother.

What is your mother's name?

Vickie. Vickie allessio.

Allessio?

She remarried.
I'll get the tickets.

Here you are, sir...

One for Mr. blackburn
and one for Mrs. allessio.

Oh, I'll take that.
I'm Mrs. allessio.

Happy mother's day.

Just tell me one thing.

Why do you have
to leave tonight,

on the very day mommy
and daddy arrive for a visit?

When the s.S. Saramigoso
rammed into the s.S. Antonio,

ripping out its double-headed
corkscrew turbine rotor shaft,

they didn't know
about mommy and daddy's visit,

or I'm sure they would've
avoided each other.

You could send braithwaite.

That's alli need now.

Why don't you both go down?
We didn't come to see you.

We came to be with our babies.

I'd love that, grace,
but Gloria hates the place.

She can't stand the wind,
the food...

Isn't that right, dear?

We were there last September.
It was miserable.

In July, it's gorgeous.

It really is. You'll enjoy it.

Ask her nice, Steve.

You might have yourself
a pretty roommate.

Why not try it, dear?

Maybe in July
it won't have the wind

and the lousy food
and the heat and the flies.

Think I can still get aticket?

And that's another thing...
That's easy.

What are you flying? Iberia.

Want me to call?

No, I'll get it.

- You know the number?
- Yes. Yes, I do.

If you have any problems,
I know valdez very well.

He runs the outfit.
He'd be glad to help you.

If I need him, I'll call him.

Hello, iberia,
this is Mr. blackburn.

I made a reservation...

Miss ramos:
Hello, this is miss ramos.

Oh, you're still on.

Yes, our night girl got sick.

I need one more ticket
on your malaga flight.

It's for Mrs. blackburn.

Your grandmother? My wife.

We can confirm that reservation,

Mr. blackburn.

The party will be you,
your wife,

and your mother.

Thank you, miss ramos.

Well...

That's that.

Come on, dear,

we'd better pack.

Just close the door, please.

Come on, dog. Quick, quick.

Sf a lovely ride in the car j\j

in you go. All right, cat.

Good.

Oh, dog, when are you
going to learn to walk?

Oh...

God, you're heavy.

Oh...

Are you a mad thing?
What are you doing?

My mother is allergic
to cats, dogs, and birds.

See you next week.

But I've got adog
and a cat and a bird.

Then you'll have two dogs,
two cats, and two birds.

You'll have two of everything,
Cecil.

Are they housebroken?

I can only vouch for the bird.

Oh, my god.

Come along, shim.

- Gloria.
- Mm-hm?

Have I ever criticized you

about the way
you raise the children?

No. Never.

This time
I think you're blowing it.

We're going to come back
to two really screwed-up kids.

You know what your folks
are like...

Bicycles for this,
roller skates for that.

They bribe them for affection.

Remember when Billy came back
from a month with them?

The kid wouldn't smile
until I gave him $3.

There's a time
when you think of yourself,

and there's a time
when you think of the children.

What's iberia's number?

I'll do it, dear.

I suppose there is only one
practical solution.

That's right.

Hello, iberia? Miss ramos?

We'll take the kids with us.

This is Mr. blackburn,
and we'll take the kids with us.

Take the kids with us?

You're right. They'll be
better off with us.

Are you serious?

I'll make some excuse
to mommy and daddy.

Well, make the reservation,
darling.

Miss ramos, I'd like
to add two to that party...

My son and my daughter.

They're just little children,
miss ramos.

Do you take little children
that late at night?

Oh, you do.

Yes, Mr. blackburn, and I can
confirm that for you now.

Thank you.

Right.

We've just been confirmed.

Oh, good.

And please make sure
they clean their teeth.

Bye.

It's the airport, please.

Maria, get the children up
and packed.

We're taking them to marbella.

Maria, lay out
their beach things.

I'll check it all out
in a moment, okay?

I'll go help Maria.
Just a second.

Hello, iberia? Miss ramos?
This is Mr. blackburn again.

I want two more seats...

For a Mr.
And Mrs. Wendell Thompson.

Yes, my father-in-law
and my mother-in-law.

What are you doing?

You don't think they came
all the way to england

to give up a chance to spoil
their grandchildren, do you?

They're going to be down
on the next plane.

Oh, god, it's turning
into a pilgrimage.

I know.

You better go down alone.

I think that makes sense, dear.

Miss ramos,
cancel my mother-in-law,

my father-in-law, my wife,
and my children.

Just you and mother.

Roger.

You free?

Um, it's iberia. There's a lot.

If you went around,
it might be easier.

- How much do I owe you?
- Two quid.

Goodbye. Bye.

Thanks very much. Cheers.

Hey, Steve! Steve!

Over here, it's Walter.

Steve: Hello, Walter.

How you doing?

Where you headed? Malaga?

Yeah. So am I.

Who you with?

Nobody.

Good. We'll sit together
on the plane.

- Oh, swell.
Walter: That's terrific.

I hate to sit
with strangers on a plane.

They try to tell you
the story of their life.

They really annoy you.

Gloria all right?

Fine, great. And the children?

Children are great,
great, great.

Say, look, Steve,
while I got you here,

there is something I wanted
to talk to you about.

I got this screenplay ready
to shoot.

It's awestern with weirdos.

Got these apaches, see,

and they start
sucking this peyote root.

Drives them all out
of their gourds,

everyone starts banging
everyone else.

It's got everything...
Pot, sex, massacres, orgies.

You can take the whole family.

It's going
to cost about $600,000.

Think Gloria's old man
would liketo go in

for acouple hundred thou?

What?

The picture... I just told you.

Oh, sorry, Walter,
that's my deaf side.

Do you think
Gloria's father would like

to invest a quarter
of a million dollars

in my new picture? No.

Are you sure?

I'm positive, Walter.
He's been approached before.

You know something?

I liked you better before,
when you couldn't hear me.

Hl. Good evening.

I ordered a car, a seat 124.

Oh, yes, senor blackburn.

If you'll complete the papers,
I'll get the keys.

A seat 124 is really a fiat.

Yes.

It's not a bad car. It will hold

all the luggage
that you put into it.

Don't talk to me. What?

Don't look at me.

- What's the matter?
- Walter: Hey, Steve-boy!

That's what's the matter.

Hi, Walter.

Son of a bitch.

Boy, you'd think those customs
guys would know me by now.

What a mess. Excuse me, miss.

I beg your pardon.

Stand by, pal. I may need you.

I'm Walter menkes
of menkes films.

I'd like a seat 124.

Woman: I am very sorry, senor.
We have not one car left.

Oh. Oh, you got a car.

- Huh?
- A car.

Oh, yeah.

Good, you can give me a lift.

Oh, you can find him a car.
He's a friend of mine.

What's the sweat? You drop
me off at los monteros.

- They've got cars.
- Listen, it's right on your way.

Patty and the kids are waiting.

What about those cars out there?

They are all reserved, senor.

But you must have something.

We do have a seat 600
that has just been returned,

but I'm a little bit nervous
about the clutch.

He'll take it. What do you mean?

Do you know what a 600 is?

Yeah, I know...
=it's a kiddie car.

- It's this big.
- Oh, Walter.

You got to step outside
to shift gears.

You don't drive it. You mail it.

You put it in the water,
it becomes an outboard motor.

All right, Walter.
You take my car.

I'll take the 600.

This is stupid.
=it's not stupid.

It is stupid. I'll drop you off.

We'll have a nice ride,
pleasant talk.

It's no good, Walter. “Why not?

I've got a trick back.
If someone else drives,

it could easily go right
into spasm.

Spasm? Spasm.

You know,
you're a very sick fellow

with the ear and the spasms.

Walter, it's 2:00
in the morning.

I gotta drive two hours.
Please take the car.

Can I at least buy you a meal?

Sure. Tonight?

Great. Dinner?

Fine. Why should you be alone?

Just you, me,
Patty, and the boys.

We'll have a fun evening.

After dinner,
I will read you the screenplay.

Oh, I look forward
to it, Walter.

Uh, miss, can I give you a lift?

Thank you. I'm being met.

Oh.

You should go.
It sounds like a lot of fun.

What is this?

Where do I sign?

Here.

Ever been in one of these?

In Italy when I was younger...

And shorter.

Can you manage this?

Yeah, on my knee. Anything else?

Well, there's this.

Gracias.

Gracias.

Now, remember, sir,
if the clutch

gives you any trouble,
you change in mar villa.

I'll keep it in mind.

Have a pleasant trip.

Bye-bye. Adios. Thank you.

That's second.
It's an Italian gearbox.

Oh. Oh, thanks.

No, no, that's third.
First is up here.

See, you...

Oh, I see. That's it.

Good thing you're here.

Ready? Yes.

Nervous? No.

That's my girl.

It's anice little car.
It spins right along.

You're still in first.

Oh, I see.

Use the clutch.

Oh, sorry, sorry, sorry.

There's a car coming.

Okay.

There's a truck.
It's trying to pass you.

Go around!

You're still in third.

Would you like to drive? No.

You're sure? Positive.

Good.

Besides, I didn't bring
my license.

For god's sake.

You'd think there'd be
a Porter or something.

Hey, listen,

leave this stuff here,
and I'll come back for it.

It's all right.
I've always wanted long arms.

Are you all right?

Steve: I'm all right.

Good morning, sir.

My name is blackburn.
This is Mrs. allessio.

We wanted a suite.

Momento, senor.

I am sorry, Mr. blackburn,

but there's no reservation
for a suite.

It's aroom, a double room.

Any objections?

Anything, as long as it has
a view of Gibraltar.

We will see Gibraltar?

Si, senor.

This way, please.

Just one moment, please.
What is that?

What is what?

Does Gibraltar have washing
hanging all over it?

What are you talking about?

Because if it doesn't, we don't
have a view of Gibraltar.

What do we have a view of?

Roughly, I'd say the laundry.

Oh, don't be ridiculous.

They don't even have
big laundries down here.

What is that out there?

It's the laundry.

It's the laundry.

I told you we want
to see Gibraltar.

We want a room with a view
of Gibraltar, comprende?

Si, senor.

What we'd like, senor,

is a room with a view
and a toilet with a seat.

That's not asking
too much, is it?

Vickie.

Hmm?

Why don't we unpack
in the morning?

Aren't you tired?

Only of unpacking.

I see.

Very well.

Would you like that light
on or off?

Whichever you prefer.

How about on? Certainly.

Would you do me
a very big favor?

I thought that's
what I was doing.

Would you mind getting
on the other side?

What's wrong with this side?

Nothing. It's more natural
for me being on that side.

I don't want to make
an international incident,

but it's more natural
for me this side.

We always started this way.

- We?
- Me and my Italian.

You see,
he had this tennis elbow

and a bad shoulder, and, anyway,

I just got used to this side.

It doesn't work for me.

Why not?

I'm deaf in my left ear.

What's that got to do with it?

I won't be able to hear you.

I'm not going to say very much.

You're going to breathe,
aren't you, sometimes?

That sounds pretty good.

Who knows? A word
of encouragement may slip out

at the right moment.
It could do wonders.

What?

Shall I walk around?

Oh, well, why don't you
just slip over,

and I'll slide under?

No, I think it's better
if I slip under,

and you slide over.

Why don't we just roll
toward each other?

It's getting awfully late.

Why don't you just get
on top and hope for the best?

Well, I've heard it
put more romantically.

Indeed.

Christ, you're beautiful.

My god, you can see Gibraltar.

Where?

What's the matter?

Spasm. I'm in spasm. What?

What do you mean?

Either you're in spasm,
or you're not in spasm,

and I'm in spasm.

- Oh, my god.
- Oh, boy.

What do I do? I don't know.

I think
you better call the doctor.

Yeah, get the doctor.
Oh, don't move.

Please don't move.

How do I get the doctor
if I don't move?

Very slowly, that's all.
Very slowly.

Please calm down.

Oh, god.

Man on radio: Buenos dias,
senors y senoras.

Another beautiful day
on the costa del sol...

Oh, god...

Look, I can't reach the phone.

If you can just...

Steve: Please.
Please get the phone. Please.

I've got the phone,
I've got the phone.

Ow.

Help!

What's "doctor" in Spanish?

What is Spanish for "doctor"?

Il Doctore.

Are you sure?

I think so. It sounds Italian.

Well, maybe it's Italian.
It's foreign.

You tell them.

Please, please, I'm in spasm.

Could you...
Could you send adoctor?

Man: Easy, easy.

Gently, gently.

Now, what precisely
were you doing

when this thing happened?

Well, I-l was just sort of...

We were making love.

We were making love.

So in the middle
of making love with this woman,

you turned to see Gibraltar, s/?

Sj.

I see.

Now I am going
to turn you over, so relax.

Very gently, gently.

It's coming, it's coming.

Relax. That's it. Would you
give me a hand with the foot?

A hand with the foot?

Yes, give him a hand
with the foot.

Thank you.

Now very gently.

Relax, relax.

How do you feel?

Better.

Better.

Good.

Now you can put him back
in the bed.

Thank you.

All right.

Okay, easy.

Oh.

Vickie: How's that?

Give him this.

This?

To sleep.

To sleep.

Rest good,

and do not try
to make love again

until you can touch your toes.

Touch my toes?

Like this.

Then everything
will be all right.

Adios.

Adios. Adios.

Adios. Vickie: Gracias.

Doctor: Adios. Steve: Adios.

Vickie: Gracias.

Muchas gracias.

Can I have the pills, please?

How are you
enjoying the trip so far?

Nice, nice.

That's what I thought.

Mmm. Oh.

Aren't you going
to get under the covers?

No.

Nice, nice.

Boy: Mom, come on,
get me one of these.

All the guys have one.

Woman: No, no, no, no, no.

Boy: Why not, mom?

Excuse me. Do you speak english?

I try, but I'm an American.

Well, I have a son
about the same size as yours.

Could I borrow him for a minute?

Oh, you can have him
all day if you want to.

Thanks very much.
Do you mind? Thank you.

Are you British? Yes.

From London?

Me, too. We've been
living there for years.

What did you say your name was?

Well, I didn't, but it's allessio,
vickie allessio. Thanks.

Where are you staying?
=guadalmina.

Maybe you and Mr. allessio

would have dinner
with my husband and me.

Well, that's very kind of you,

but I'm afraid I'm right out
of Mr. allessios.

Oh, well, hey,
are you here alone?

Um, yes, yes.

That makes it easier.

Well, it doesn't actually,
you see, because...

Gracias...

I'm here for sort of a rest.

And I'm on a diet,
and, well, you know how it is.

Thanks for the use
of the chest. Bye-bye.

Oh, Mrs. allessio.

How do you spell that?

Two I's, two s's,
and I'm out a lot.

No, no!

Hello.

How are you feeling?

I can touch my toes.

Can you?

Oh.

Oh.

You do realize
I have just greased myself

with two tubes
of very expensive suntan oil?

I couldn't help noticing.

Mmm.

Pardon me for asking,
but did you always

get what you want
when you wanted it?

Even before I knew
what to do with it.

Listen, if we're going to eat,
and I really think we...

Are you still asleep?

I feel marvelous.

I fell asleep
before I could say thanks.

Oh.

How do you feel?

Fine, but they do stop
serving lunch in 10 minutes.

- Everything okay?
- Mmm-hmm.

I booked a table, but
you know what they're like.

You know what I mean.
How was it for you?

Very nice.

Very nice? Yes.

Just very nice?

Well, what's wrong
with very nice?

Well, "very nice"
is hardly the phrase

to describe two bodies locked
in heavenly transport.

You wouldn't chisel
"very nice" in granite

under rodin's "the kiss."

"Very nice" is when
you receive a get-well card

from your butcher
or the television repairman.

That's very nice,
but for what we just did,

the operational comments range
from "lousy" to "sensational,"

"the rockets went off,"
or "the earth moved."

Oh, for god's sake.
These things take time.

This is a body, not a machine.

You don't just press a button,

and pow! The earth moves.
=it moved for me.

Well, lucky you.

My god, you're all the same...

This obsession
with male sexual prowess.

Itis so typically American.

Oh, is it?

It is, if you don't mind
me telling you.

I don't mind you telling me,
not a bit.

It's just that phrase
I can't stand,

"typically American." Why not?

There's no such thing
as typically American.

It's a big place, America.

Which typically American
Americans do you mean,

the cab drivers in New York?

The coal miners in Pennsylvania?

The students at Berkeley?

The mormons in Utah,
the Harlem globetrotters?

How about the daughters
of the American revolution?

Are those the ones you mean?
I'll tell you something.

They're all throwing rocks
at each other.

The only thing
that's typically American

about the 200 million Americans
is that they never

do anything typically alike,
and that goes for humping, too.

You ought to know that.

Well, of course.

I've had it off
with all 200 million of them!

Don't be an idiot.

Why are you so angry?
The earth moved for you.

I've never seen anyone change
so fast in my whole life.

I haven't changed.

I'm the same sweet
sex-crazed typical American

I was 20 minutes ago.

And just remember this...

There is no better way
for amanto start the day

than with that bracing,
glowing, ego-building feeling

of knowing that he has just
struck out in the sack.

"Struck out
in the sack," is, I assume,

a mixed metaphor, undoubtedly
American, and probably nasty.

It'll do.

And may I point out,
as you have never noticed

women are different from men?

They require time,
a little sensitivity.

English women.

All women!

Anybody but a superannuated
boy scout would know that.

End of conversation!

- Ha!
- Oh, boy.

"Oh, boy," what?

Nothing.

It just takes time
to know a person.

It certainly does.

Time and trouble.

Lots of time
and lots of trouble.

Right. Do you want lunch?

Just a sandwich.
I'm going to play golf.

Good. I'll trail along.

You don't have to.

No, but I can use the exercise.

I'll say. God knows you
didn't get any this morning.

Okay, Enrique,
$100 for the first nine,

$100 for the second,
and $100 for the 18.

- Comprende?
- Si, senor.

- Mucho bene.
- I shall win, though.

Are you gambling
with this child?

It's not gambling.

These kids have a lot
of Spanish pride.

So instead of tipping him,
ilet him win a little.

Oh, so he wins, does he?

Yeah, if he can.

I see.

What is that supposed to mean?

What is what supposed to mean?

"I see." That supercilious
cold-assed english way

of saying "I see."

It means I'm delighted
the boy has a chance to win.

I would hate
to witness a spectacle

of a grown man who has
to beat an 8-year-old.

He's 13, he smokes,
goes with a flamenco dancer,

and he gives me two shots aside.

Ole.

You going to count that?
You play four.

She was talking.

You lie three. You play four.

You know, winning is not
that important, Enrique.

You learn that
as you go through life.

That's right, Enrique.
It's how you play the game.

Nice shot.

Nice shot.

Vickie: Muy bien.

Try and stay off the green,
will you?

What is it?

My cousins would like
to bet on me.

- Your cousins?
- Sf

- starting from here?
- Si.

- $100, $100, $1007?
- Si.

And they're going
to give me two shots aside?

- Si.
- Okay, it's their money.

Enrique: Senor, my cousins' friends
would like to bet on me.

Steve: Your cousins' friends
would like to bet on you?

- Enrique: Si.
- Steve: Same action as before?

- Enrique: Si.
- Steve: Okay, kid.

Enrique: Hey, senor.

Steve: What is it?

Enrique: My cousins' friends' cousins
would like to bet on me.

Steve: Your cousins'
friends' cousins?

- Enrique: Si.
Steve: Same action as before?

Enrique: Si.

Steve: Okay, kid.
Get out the way you got in.

Vale.

Yeah!

Perdoname.

Steve: Hey, fellows,
what are you doing?

What's all this?

Here is your money.

Ah, forget it. I just got lucky.

You win a few,
you lose a few. Here.

Buy the boys a drink.

See you later.

What's bugging you now?

Apart from the fact
that you're still in second?

Yeah.

All right, I'll tell you.

This isn't a romantic holiday.
It's approving ground.

I think you brought me
here for the same reason

you had to beat
that little child.

- You do, huh?
- I do, "huh".

I also have a feeling

that your wife gives you
two shots aside,

and she doesn't walk off
feeling too happy, either.

Yeah? Since I came here with you

and not Sigmund Freud,
which was my first mistake,

I've had all
the amateur analysis

I intend to take. Is that clear?

Perfectly,
and you're still in second.

Look, I'm going down to malaga

to take care of my business.

I figure I'll eat out... alone.

You'll enjoy the company.

Walter: Hey, Steve.

I just called your room.

I wanted to find out
if you're still free tonight.

I sure am.

Good. Antonio's
at the port, at 8:30.

Good. See you then.

Okay. Where are you going?

Business.

Oh. How's the clutch?

- What?
- The clutch!

Fine. Okay.

Hello.

Woman: Miss allessio? Yes.

This is the lady you met
this morning, remember?

The one with the little boy.
You borrowed his chest.

Yes. How are you?

I was wondering
if you'd go to dinner

with my husband and me tonight.

That would be very nice.

Great. We'll pick you up
about 8:15.

I look forward to it.

Good evening, sir.
Mr. menkes' table.

Hey, Steve. Steve, over here.

Hello, Walter.

Sorry I'm late.

It's all right.

- Hello, Patty.
- Hiya, Steve.

How are you?

Walter: Steve, this is
vickie allessio.

You two are in the same hotel.

Vickie, this is Steve blackburn.

Mr. blackburn.

Mrs. allessio.

Well, we're off and running,

but you got to be careful.

He's a slow starter,
but he finishes fast,

so watch yourself. “Wally.

Huh? What's wrong?

They're two healthy,
normal people

down here on their own.

No ties, no responsibilities.

It makes your mouth water.

Wally.

What would you like
to have to drink?

Whatever Mr. blackburn would like.
Whatever miss allessio would like.

Well, what about sangria?

Walter: Yeah, they say
sangria's great.

Lovely. Fine.

Camarery?

It's very Spanish
and we're here.

Could I have some water, please?

Oh, camarero? Camarery?

I was just telling Wally
this afternoon,

it's such a shame that
Steve's wife couldn't come.

You'd just love her.
Wouldn't she, Steve?

They'd be crazy
about each other.

Really.

Oh, she's such an amazing girl.

She's had every advantage,
and you'd never know it.

No pretenses, no airs.

She sounds wonderful.

Why didn't you
bring her with you?

I wish I had.

Well, you'd never get
Gloria to leave those kids.

She devotes herself
to them night and day,

especially the little one.

How old is Josie now?

Seven.

Walter: Cute as a button,
but she's got a bit of a...

What is it, Steve,
a metabolism problem?

- Metabolism.
- Oh, dear.

So she's a little
on the heavy side.

Of course.

Could I have
some more wine, please?

Camarero?

But Josie's really
a lovely girl,

and once she gets finished
at the orthodontist's,

she's going to be gorgeous.

She has crooked teeth?

I think we can find something

more interesting to talk about

than my daughter's
metabolism rate

or fixing her teeth.

We could talk
about my kids' teeth,

but they never stopped eating
long enough to get them fixed.

Did I say something wrong?

Oh, boy.

"Oh, boy" -ing again.

What's bothering
Mr. sensitive now?

How would you know
about sensitivity,

picking on an innocent child?

I did not pick on her.
I'm sure she's a lovely girl...

A lovely fat girl
with crooked teeth.

They're not crooked.
They just overlap.

That's crooked.

Oh, boy.

Let's call a truce, okay?

That's fine by me.

Good. You really
are extraordinary.

I've never known a grown man

whose feelings
could be hurt so easily.

Do you come from a large family?

Yes.

Lots of brothers and sisters?

Mm-hmm. =-there you are then.

Your mother spent too much time

with those other children.

What is this, a seminar
on family relations?

You finish chopping up my daughter,
you start in on my mother?

- There you go again.
- Well, why not?

It's a strange time

for someone to start
attacking someone's mother.

I was just talking.

I don't call that just talking,

tearing apart a little old lady

who never did you any harm.

I don't believe this.

She was a marvelous woman,
and I'll tell you this.

We may not have been the richest
kids in the neighborhood,

but I never went to school
with a dirty shirt.

Dear god!

Polio shots,

first electric blanket
on the block,

great food in the winter.

You lie there and hack away
at a woman like that.

Dear god, suddenly
I'm in bed with your mother.

"In bed with my mother"?

That has got to be
the most disgusting thing

I've ever heard in my life.

What are you doing now?

I am leaving the sanatorium.

I've had enough therapy.

I'm going back
to London tonight.

It'll do us both
a world of good.

You bet your ass.

What a washout this has been.

I'm going to press it
in my book of memories.

You know what
you should have been?

A cestode worm,
and do you know why?

A cestode worm
has a complete set

of male and female sexual organs

in each of its 100 sections

and spends its whole life
copulating with itself.

Wouldn't that be lovely?

You could have taken
you away for the weekend.

You would've had you
all to yourself!

And all those questions...

"Was I good?"
You were wonderful.

"Did the earth move?"
The house fell down.

"Am I manly?"

No, but you're a great worm.

You missed your profession...

A worm, humping its way
through life, and badly.

Thank you.

Where do you think you're going?

London... it's where I live.

You can leave tomorrow.

Oh, no. I've had this place
with you or without you.

Though it means sitting
on the same plane,

I am going home
to my thin children

with their straight teeth.

Go tomorrow.

I am going now!

All right.

Okay, but I don't want to hear

one more word out of you ever.

Understood?

Perfectly, so listen
very clearly,

because this is the last thing

I will ever say to you:
Make a reservation.

Not necessary, and if you're
not downstairs in that car

in 10 minutes,
I am leaving without you.

You can stay here
and find another worm

and hold another seminar.

Can I help you, sir?
Flight 826 to London.

Two tickets, please.

Flight 826 to London is full.

Flight 826 to London
is never full.

It is tonight, sir.

When did
the last two tickets go?

Just afew moments ago.

Press that
in your book of memories.

When is the next plane
to London?

11:30 tomorrow morning.

11:30 tomorrow morning?

Can I help you, miss?

Thank you.
I'm getting very good at this.

Good night. Good night.

Welcome to the house of mirth.

One phone call.
One stupid phone call.

It would have
cost you 7 pesetas.

You could have won that
from your caddie.

Steve: Oh, yeah?

Boy, I've had a bellyful

of your chickenshit innuendos,

your snotty insults,
your smartass needling.

Oh, get stuffed,
you big schmuck.

Listen to Princess grace here.

Bertha ballbuster,

you're as tender,
sweet, and feminine

as Attila the hun.

You should know.

You should have
a uniform and whistle.

You direct traffic
in bed, out of bed,

on the phone, in the car.

Talk about penis envy.
You invented it.

Oh!

Now.

Now.

Man:
Don't... don't break the lamps!

Bozo!

Excuse me.

Mind your back!

All right...

You typical... typical American!

Is this a way to treat a hotel?

Okay. Okay.

Don't do it!

Ow!

I'm sorry.

Easy!

Bloody American... typical!

Thank you very much. Good night.

Now, Mr. know-all.

Ooh!

Oh!

Damn you!

For god's sake,

my one chance to be raped,

you can't get
your bloody trousers off.

Isn't that vickie and Steve?

Oh. I guess
they're getting together.

I hope we haven't
started something.

With Steve? Not a chance.

He's probably
selling her a policy.

She just grabbed his arm.

What should she grab?
She just met him.

Keep your eye on the bull.

Crowd: Ole!

Ole!

Ole!

Ole!

You can't tell me
they weren't holding hands.

Oh, you're fantastic.

Two people reach for a
peanut at the same time,

and right away
they're holding hands.

You got a mind
like a house detective.

You should know.

Just pass me the potato chips...

After you've checked them out

for fingerprints.

Oh, boy.

Got no pajamas with my monogram lo

ji and just like papa,
I am what I am j.0

j but she loves me j.J

jj she told me
she loved me last night j0

jj all last night oh, yes jj

both: I' she loves me 22

ji she told me so last night jj

all last night &jf

ji she told me so last night jj

7& la da Dee la da Dee la da Dee
dop ba dado dop j,

that's awful.
=I thought it was beautiful.

Were you in love
when you wrote it?

Of course. I was 18, in college,
and in love. Weren't you?

No.

At 187?

No.

When was the first time
you fell in love?

I didn't. “What?

Well, that blind passionate
selfless all-out whatever

I have never felt.

Maybe I'm not
capable of feeling it.

I don't believe that.

Why not? I'm your everyday
cold-assed supercilious

englishwoman, remember?

I'm terribly sorry I said that.

Don't be. It warmed
things up quite a bit.

- It did?
- Mim-hm.

I'm very pleased to hear that.

Mr. blackburn.

What is it?

Your tickets to London.
They're confirmed.

Oh, no, no.

We don't leave till the 26th.

This is the 26th.

You leave at 5:00.

Thank you.

Shall we take a swim?

Yes, please.

Hey!

Hey! Look alive down there.

Ready when you are.

Lights and camera.

Alright.

Action.

Walter: Steve!

Hey, Steve!

Aah!

What's so important
you have to crash in like this

without calling?

I have to make an appointment?
This is business.

There is nothing
about your business...

It's not my business.
That's too intelligent,

keeping my nose
in my own business.

This is none of my business:
You and the lady.

I don't know what
you're talking...

At the bullfight,
the beach, the bars,

the restaurant, the airport.

What are we doing?
Where are you going?

I have something
I'm going to say,

how do you want it?
In front of her here

or up there by ourselves?

Listen carefully, 'cause
I know what I'm talking about.

I'm one of the walking wounded.

It's true.

Even a schlub like me
gets action once in a while.

Most of it's tired quail
that flies south the next day,

but once and only once

did I hook into the real thing.

It happened in Malibu.

Oh, boy, was she something.

We had a great setup.
We had a shack on the beach.

She cooked. I ate.
We dug each other.

You know what a thrill this is...

To while away my last hours here

listening to the plot
of your next movie?

This was for real, Steve,
and it was fantastic,

but then the guilt
started tearing me apart.

La cuenta.

Wait. I went to a shrink
five times a week

to hear the same questions...
"Do you love the girl?"

"I love the girl."

"Do you love your wife
and kids?" "Of course."

"Would you give them up
for her?"

"No."

"Would you give the girl up?"

"I can't. I love her."

$18,000 later,

he came to the key question:

"Do you love her enough
to give her up?"

That's the one that
pinned me to the rack.

One cockamamie question
cost me $18,000,

and that doesn't
include the kleenex

I used up crying.

I didn't go back
to the coast for five years.

By that time she had twin boys

and a kidney-shaped pool,

went to weight watchers
every Thursday night.

I've got to
go meet Patty and the boys.

We're going on some picnic.

That's all I need now
is Spanish ants.

You two may be just two ships

that passed in the night,
scraped hulls for a week,

in which case relax and enjoy.

I see.

Lots of luck.

He was right, your fat friend.

He was right.

He loved the girl enough
to give her up,

but my god, $18,000?

I could have told him
for a lot less.

I'm not giving you up.

What?

I'm not giving you up.

Look, I know I'm selfish
and I'm neurotic.

And American. American.

- Married.
- Married.

Spoiled. And spoiled.

Which is precisely why
I'm not giving you up.

Why can't we get
a little flat in soho?

We'll see each other
whenever we can.

If you're worried
about breaking up a family,

forget it.

There's going to be
no families broken up.

Take my word.

I think that soho
makes a lot of sense.

You can walk there.

I can take a taxi,
the tube, or the 22 bus.

Vickie, what the hell
have we got to lose?

Which part of soho
did you have in mind?

Oh.

Do you like Chinese food?

Oh, I love Chinese food.

There is a street
called macclesfield street.

- Do you know it?
- Oh, yes.

Vickie: You've had
a flat there before.

Steve: Oh, many times.

Ah, what's the flat number?

Um, 4d.

They're all named French.
You think they're related?

Only in price. Only in what?

Price.

What do you think?

It's... it's not bad.

It isn't, is it, really?

I mean, it's got
distinct possibilities.

Sure.

- Oh, god.
- Be careful.

Oh, wow.

Hello. You moving into 4d?

Yes. Yes, I am.

Oh, I'm dora French.
I'm in 5d, just above.

Hello.

Oh, uh, if it'll get a bit busy,

anything you can't handle,
know what I mean?

I'd be most obliged.

Of course. It would be
my pleasure, certainly. Yes.

Thanks. Not at all.

- Bye.
- Bye.

This is the second day
she's forgotten her lunch box.

Would you like some coffee?

No. I ate too much.
Coq au vin was perfect.

Thank you.

I think I'm going
to walk it off.

Take dilly with you. Dilly?

Yeah. Take him with you.

You think he should
go out in the rain?

It stopped an hour ago.

Oh, yeah, right. Dilly, come on.

Taxi!

Hello. =hi.

Hi

Oh.

Sorry about this.

That's alright.

Are we eating?

That is what we arranged.

Oh, right, right, right.

What are we having?

Coq au vin. Well,
I hope you're hungry.

I can always eat. Good.

I'll just put dilly down.

Take your coat off.

How did you manage to get away?

Well, actually, I'm...
I'm out walking the dog.

Goodbye, coq au vin.

Wait... your sweater!

Oh, god, oh, god.

Okay?
Give me that, give me that.

Come on.

Come on. Oh, crikey,
you've got four arms.

Thursday, Thursday.

Thursday. Go on.

Is that you, dear?

Yeah. How did it go?

Was he a good boy or a bad boy?

I'm gonna take him
out for another 20 minutes.

- That's silly.
- No it isn't, dear.

If you train a dog,
you gotta train him right.

Dilly. Come on, dilly.
Come on, boy. Come on, dilly.

Taxi!

I've had a job offered me.

I wasn't going to tell you.

I wasn't going to take it,

but I know now
it's the only way out.

Where?

A long way away... Johannesburg.

Oh, Eric.

My brother's out there.

They're opening a hospital,
they want me.

It's a fine opportunity, really.

I'll take Madeline and the boys.

It's been torturing me...

The necessity
of making a decision

one way or the other.

I haven't told anybody...
Not even Madeline.

Do you want me to stay?
To turn down the offer?

Don't be foolish, Eric.

Eric: Forgive me?

Woman: Forgive you for what?

For bringing you so much misery.

Woman: I'll forgive you
if you'll forgive me.

How will it end with us?

Oh, don't talk about it.
I don't know.

It'll end. Everything ends.

Woman:
All that was a week ago...

Socks, please.

Woman: Incredible it should be
so short a time.

Today was our
last day together...

Our very last together...

Dirty enough?

It's beautiful.

Those last few hours
went by so quickly.

Sunday?

Oh, yeah, Sunday.

Sunday.

As we walked
through the station,

I had no thoughts at all,

only an overwhelming desire

not to feel anything ever again.

Man: What do you say?

Safe. The game's over.

Excuse me.

Sorry.

Here you are.
You're not leaving?

I have to. We're taking
the kids to lunch.

Didn't I tell you? No.

I thought I mentioned it.
I'm sorry.

That's alright.

You didn't go to any trouble?

No. It's alright. You sure?

Truly.
Do you have time for coffee?

I don't even have time
to take a shower.

Are you going to take
your kids to lunch?

Something like that? Yes.

Really, it's alright.
Don't worry.

You're sure? You look worried.

I'm only worried you'll be late.

Have a nice day. And you.

Cecil, it's me.

Listen, how would you like
to come over for lunch,

stay for dinner,
play some chess,

watch television,
and kiss me goodnight?

I'm sorry. I've already made
arrangements for all that.

Vickie: Of course you have.

Bye.

Bye.

The picture is about set.

I hired this hot new director.

Sensational. 12 g's.

He's 24 years old,
he's got hair to here.

He has to use a shoehorn
to get into his pants.

The guy wears bracelets.

He has heels like that.
“Walter...

The guy's last picture
was a smash.

Kind of a group grope in 3-d.

Walter...
When you see those big boobs

coming out of the screen
at you, you better duck.

Walter...

Walter. “What?

You remember
that talk we had in Spain?

Don't tell me
that's still going on.

You told me that you broke up

because you loved her,

but you didn't tell me how.

Only one way, pal.

According to the rules

laid down
by the Geneva convention,

kick her in the teeth...
Lay it on the line.

Sometimes you got to
be cruel to be kind.

I got it. Lunch is on me.

I hate to see a guy
losing them all.

Hey, could you lend me
a couple of pounds?

Why don't you sign, Walter?

They won't let me do that
in here anymore.

My treat.

Assorted colors, you know,
from up there.

Okay. =-thank you.

Hello?

Hi. Can you make it tonight?

I thought this was
your night for the symphony.

I can get away for a bit.
I want to talk to you.

Can you get a sitter
and meet me at the flat?

Oh, well, okay. Fine.

Good. See you later.

Bye.

I'm in a hurry. Alright.

Well, I must say it is
flattering

that you'd give up Beethoven
for me,

even if it's only
for 30 bars. Drink?

No, thanks.

Vickie... yes.

Why don't you sit down?

Thank you.

Vickie... yes again.

I think I'll have that drink.

You said you had something
you wanted to say to me.

1 do, I do.

I-I have something
that I-l want to say to you.

Uh...

Um, well,

I've been doing
some thinking about us,

which is natural...

Yes, yes, yes.

And, uh...

It's...

Well, what I wanted
to say was that, uh...

It's just that, uh...

That, uh...

I love you very much,

and I can't seem
to get you out of my mind,

which is not that important,
but, uh...

Oh, my god.

Oh, you are so ignorant
about what is important.

What are you doing?

Hey. Taking your coat off.

Oh, no, no, no,
we can't... no, we can't.

No, no, no, this is ridiculous.

We can't do this.
I've got to be at Albert hall.

You don't have to be
at Albert hall at all.

They're playing Beethoven.

Vickie: Beethoven won't mind.

You've been gone a long time.

- Are you alright?
- Fine, fine.

Did you leave the house
that way?

What way?

With a golf sock.

Well, I must have.

How could that happen?

How many times have I told you

keep the kids out of my drawers?

Okay, Steve.

And from now on, don't
rush me when I'm dressing.

Alright.

The actuarial reports,
their sales receipts.

Well, that's it, Derek.
I'm off to lunch.

It's... it's been a long time
between lunches, huh?

Nice of you to keep score,
Derek, but not essential.

What shall I say
if someone calls?

I told you... I'm out to lunch.

One of the long ones
or the short ones?

What if I told you it was
none of your business?

I'd say it was along one.

You like your job here,
Derek? Just keep talking.

It'll be one of the short ones.

Hello. Oh, just a moment.

It's for you.

I told you... I'm not here.

Oh, I think you are, sir.

Hello?

Vickie: I'm not going
to be able to make lunch.

What happened?

What didn't happen?

I mean, the dyes are all wrong,
none of the colors... go away!

They've screwed up
all the orders,

the sizings are all wrong.

I have to get to the warehouse
and sort it out.

Can't you put it off
till tomorrow?

I can't. They have to be on
the plane for New York today.

Listen, can you make dinner?

I don't think I can.

Vickie:
Well, I can get a sitter.

I think
we got something planned.

Dinner could go on all the way
through till breakfast.

Breakfast, huh?
Let me see what I can do.

God bless you, Mr. blackburn.

Now, what was all that...

Would you get me one of those
Italian sandwiches, Derek?

A long one or a short one?

Just get the sandwich, Derek.

Hello?

Hi. Didi catch you?

I'm going out the door.

Don't hurry. What?

I have to get a prospectus
out to New York

and Oslo immediately.

Oh, my god.

If I work straight through,
I can be there by 11:00.

Why don't we forget tonight?
If you've got to work, work.

Don't blow a fuse.

Can you... hold on a second.

Hello. Could you wait
just one second, please?

Vickie, don't be ridiculous.

I will be there by 11:00
no matter what happens.

If work isn't done,
I'll finish it later.

Is that okay? Perfectly.

You're sure? Absolutely.

I'm sorry I sounded
like such a twit.

Forget it.
I'll see you at 11:00.

- Hello...
- Hello?

- Gloria: Hello, Steve?
- Hello, Gloria.

Where are you?

What do you mean?
I'm here at the office.

You're supposed to be home.
The curtain goes up at 7:30.

What curtain?

Preview of the new pinter play,
unicef benefit.

I'm on the committee.

I forgot. I got to get
a report out tomorrow.

It's going to take me hours.

Then finish it after the play.

Come home now.

I am not walking
into that theater alone.

Okay, okay, okay, okay.

What time does the play finish?

- 10:30.
- Alright,

but I'm gonna have
to work later, Gloria,

much later.

Alright, but come home now.

All right.

Oh, Christ.

Oh, no.

Oh, don't tell me.

Oh, damn.

Oh, well.

Oh, hello.

Hello. We met on the stairs.

Yes, how are you?

Very well. Thank you.
I'm sorry to bother you.

But do you have oregano?

Christ, I hope not.
I had a checkup last week.

No, actually, it's a herb,

and, um,
I was doing some cooking,

and I ran out.

Oh, no.

I don't have much use
for my kitchen,

know what I mean? Of course not.

But there's a delicatessen
on Dean street

just across shaftesbury Avenue.

Of course there is.
I'll try there. Thank you.

Hello. Good evening.

A jar of oregano, please.

14 p.

14 p. Cheers. Thanks very much.

Hello.

- Hello.
- Hello.

Finish your work?

No. I got to get back.

Must be
a very important account.

Tremendous. Tremendous.

45 ships,
$70 million in insurance.

Ooh, what's that?

Um, it's chicken chasseur.

Mmm. What's that smell?

Oregano. Oregano.

And, uh, I ran out of it
earlier this evening.

I did, and I had to go
to the delicatessen

to get some more.

Mm-hmm. At this hour?

At this hour,
and a funny thing happened

on the way back
from the delicatessen.

I bumped into shaftesbury Avenue

just as the theaters
were letting out,

and how was the play?

I tried to call...
Of course you did.

I did, vickie.

Gloria rang after you hung up,
and she's on this committee...

Oh, a committee.

I called you right back,
but your line was busy.

Look, take your wife
to the theater.

Don't give me
any of this bullshit

about $75 million
and 85 billion ships.

It's no bullshit, only it was
45 ships and $70 million.

I am fed up with you.

I am fed up
with this arrangement.

I'm fed up with hanging around
on the off chance

that you may
condescend to drop in

between the baseball
and the golf.

And if you don't have to take
your children to kew gardens.

If you want a whore,
step outside...

Press any of those buttons
marked French.

You are a thoughtless,
callous, selfish...

Do not... just do not touch me.

Do not.

Oh, Christ.

I'm beginning to sound
like a wife.

"Steve..."

"Steve, you made me feel 18

Oh, shit.

Oh, shit, shit, shit.
