The Statue of Liberty, how you, Georgi Bjergjonses Hegele, talk English, I learn.

Alright, first thing you learn, to Statue of Liberty, you don't say how are you.

To people you say how are you. To statue you say he's pretty, beautiful, not how are you.

The first ones off boat. He goes downstairs to immigration officer, show passport.

87, 87, 87.

How are you?

I'm fine, how are you? Where's your landing card?

He does not speak much English, just how are you. He's from Kartli, part of Georgia.

Thanks, I'll get a Russian interpreter.

He does not speak Russian. His language and Russian is same as Chinese and English.

It's very different. Not only language, but music, people, everything.

Do you understand him?

If he speaks Kartli, no. When he speaks Turkish, yes. He live many years in Turkey. I meet him there. I speak for him.

Do you? What's the matter with him?

He's very worried to be stranger in strange land.

And not to speak language, he's afraid people will not make welcome.

With me it's different. I came in America when I'm small boy, stay here five months, three days, know USA very well.

Wait a minute. Tell him as long as he has this, passport, you are welcome.

Welcome. Tell him the only thing to remember is that we are all foreigners here.

The only difference is, some came early, some came late.

You know something? Right now, at this moment, you are the very latest. Congratulations.

My friend very much wants to find his Uncle John. You ever see such person? His menu from his restaurant.

I'm sorry, I've never seen him.

This is from 1936. Hasn't he heard from him since?

No, Uncle John not able to write. Just send menu.

Sorry, I can't help you.

Bill me all. Don't worry, we find him later.

First we go to hotel, then I help him find his Uncle John.

Dimitrios, come here. Why can't I cook in the room?

Because you are not allowed to cook. Read.

Very well. Tomorrow I leave. I have work with Spyros Kouras.

Don't say nothing. I do all the talk. I get us good outdoor job. Plenty fresh air.

We are. You are.

Georgi, when learning English, you must watch your speaking in mirror. Come here.

Now, say speech I give you to practice on yesterday.

I wish I were a witch with violet velvet woolies. Now try.

I wish I were a witch with violet velvet woolies.

Georgi, there is one rule for Georgians, Turks, Armenians when learning English.

Whenever you think should say V, say W.

When you think should be W, say V.

That way can't go wrong. Now try again.

Georgi, this was very good. Very, very good.

You have learned English very fast. We now go to Central Park and look for Uncle John again.

Today I think I find him.

Hey, Nuremberg. Hey, Nuremberg, come here, look.

They are beautiful.

Look what they are doing. Petras.

Petras, wait. Wait, Petras, stop.

Here they are big ones. Petras, stop it. Why are you doing that?

I take bouquet to lady friend.

Where you got lady friend?

If I bouquet, maybe I'll find.

Possible. Good idea. Wait.

Why spoil? Better than take three to lady friend is bring lady friend to three.

This way, get to walk with her at same time.

Pink like cheek of beautiful lady. Never saw so beautiful.

There are bigger ones over there. Here we go again.

Look at this, how big. I get that.

It's awful thing. It's very awful thing.

It's nothing.

The little fines is nothing. It's nothing.

I am first man from Kobyankary ever come to USA.

And for what? Forgo prison?

Just plead guilty and send money.

But I am not guilty.

Got to speak to you from heart like friend.

If is one thing I know is law.

You say you're not guilty, you have to go in court.

Then you lose day's pay.

So you say you're guilty. It's cheaper.

It's cheaper too to shoot out brains.

No clothes to buy, no food, no hotel room to pay.

Only one trouble. You're no longer a man.

Is only one thing to do. We go see fixer.

Fixer? What means fixer?

Is man who fixes things.

You pay, he tears up summons, tickets from traffic, all kind things.

Come, we see fixer.

In addition to my fee of five dollars,

I'll need two dollars for the fines.

Well, what about you?

I'm not guilty. I don't pay.

What happens if he goes in court?

That depends on the judge.

In civic property cases, some judges can be awful mean.

Awful mean.

Flower picking on the lawn adjacent to the Warman Memorial in Central Park.

Before pleading this charges, you have the right to ask for an adjournment

in order to obtain counsel or witnesses. How do you plead?

The defendant has heard the charges. How does he plead?

Is he plead guilty or not guilty?

Not guilty, Your Honesty.

I hardly think that the word honesty applied to this court

should cause such unseemly mirth.

If there's a repetition, the court will be clear.

Young man, you may address the court as served.

Yes, sir.

You may be seated, officer.

Do I understand you to plead not guilty?

This officer says that you and your friends were violating an ordinance,

destroying civic property by picking flowers in the public park.

Some were picking. I was not.

Have you any proof?

Only what I say, what my friends would say.

Well, where are your friends?

They don't come.

They don't want to lose day's pay, so they send fine to you with fixer.

Why didn't you do that?

Because I am not guilty.

If guilty, I admit.

But if not guilty, no man gonna make me say I am.

It's just as big lie to say guilty when not

as to say innocent when do something wrong.

How long have you been in the United States?

Four months, two days.

Ever been in court here before?

Oh, no, sir.

Where are you from?

From Cartley. It's province in Georgia.

Ever been in trouble at home?

Ever committed a theft, assault and battery, murder?

No, sir.

Nor do theft or murder.

I don't know about other thing.

I don't know what means what you say and battery.

Assault is threatening someone with a weapon or your fist.

Battery is hitting someone, beating him up.

Battery I did.

I knock out man's teeth once.

Only a few.

Why?

He give poison food to my dog.

I catched him.

Well, that's understandable.

Only time?

Come forward, officer.

Did you actually see this man picking the flowers?

No, your honor, I didn't, but...

Officer, I believe this man is a truthful man.

This time you were probably mistaken.

Case dismissed.

Thank you very much, sir.

Court adjourned at 2 o'clock.

Court's adjourned at 2 o'clock.

Uh, young man.

Young man, I'd like to shake hands with you.

You've been a breath of fresh air in this court this morning.

Good luck to you.

I'd like to shake your hand, too.

It's a great pleasure.

Thank you. Thank you.

When I heard you tell the judge you were from Cartley, my ears did that.

You was in Cartley?

Oh, no, no, no, no.

I collect folk music as a hobby,

and I picked up a couple of things from Oceti and Capsuria.

Oh, Capsuria is close by. It's in mountains.

In half day I could be in Capsuria.

But I haven't got anything from Cartley, and I was wondering...

You have such a nice speaking voice.

I was wondering... Do you sing, I hope?

No, no, no.

Not even a little bit?

Well, a little bit.

But I just sing songs only Cartleyans would be interested in.

These songs I learned from my father and his father.

But that's exactly what I mean.

But it's not real songs.

It's only songs that people from my village make up.

Only?

That's the kind of folk music collectors travel a thousand miles to get.

Oh, well, if that is the kind of music you are looking for,

I know many songs, many songs.

But it's not written down on paper.

I just play on the guitar.

You play a guitar, too?

You know, you might be the biggest discovery since the Comstock load.

Now, look, I have a recording machine.

Do you know what a recording machine is?

No, I...

It's like a phonograph record.

Oh.

Oh, if sometime you'd have a free evening, I'd appreciate it...

if you'd come over and do some recording for me.

I could help. I...

Good. I'll give you my address and phone number.

Name, too, please.

I'm sorry.

I'm Helen Watson.

Georgi Papashvili.

Excuse me for being so informal and forward,

but that's the nature of the beast.

Goes with collecting folk songs.

We're all a little touched and rather brash.

I think we'd break in or out of prison to get eight bucks or something new.

Thank you very much for a kind invitation.

You make me very happy to accept.

And now, excuse me for being forward,

but is tonight too soon?

It's perfect.

I've got a couple of other collectors coming over.

About 8 or 8.30?

Thank you.

Good-bye.

I look all right?

You are a very handsome sight.

Good-bye. Good luck.

And when you come back, drop in into our room and tell us what happened.

Yes, no matter how late. We'll wait for you.

You really think she'll like it?

With your suit, Petra's shirt, Tomda's shoes and my tie,

she cannot help but fall in love with us.

Good evening, Mr. Papashvili.

For you.

Oh, how lovely. Thank you very much.

Won't you come in? Thank you.

I'm sorry. It was not very good.

This thing is scaring me.

Oh, don't worry.

It scares everybody at first.

His god eyes keep looking at me like so.

And he keeps saying,

you see, I'm not going to die.

You sing bad. You sing bad. You sing bad.

No, no, you don't.

You sing beautifully. Of course you do.

But I think we'll get a better balance on the guitar

if I move this back a bit.

What are you looking for?

The tape you made at the international club that night.

Oh, here it is.

Put it on.

I don't know. I've got a sneaking suspicion.

I've heard that song before.

Remember the old fellow who was so frightened?

Well, that's what he sang.

Oh, no. His was much more sprightly.

Oh, just a different tempo, that's all.

Mr. Popashvili, are there two versions of this song?

I mean, do people sing it different ways?

Maybe a song can sing when happy or sad.

Depends on how you look on it.

Why don't you listen to this, Mr. Popashvili?

See if it isn't the same song.

Who is going to sing? Is it Georgian?

I don't know what he is.

He was so frightened he barely got the song out.

Where do you find him?

There's a club in town here called the international club.

Every once in a while they have an evening of folk songs.

And, of course, Helen barges right in with her machine.

I like to corner the people who are not on the program.

He's singing?

No.

No, I'm just running a doubt.

Ah, here it is.

That's it, but don't stand so far away.

There, that's fine.

Now just forget it's there and sing.

Aha, I told you it was the same song.

What's the matter?

Uncle John, it's Uncle John.

That's your uncle?

It's not really uncle, but his family long dead, so he uncle to everybody.

I look for him since first day in USA.

Look.

The same man?

I think that's the one. Jane, come here.

Look, is this the same man?

It looks like him, but he was older than that.

He had white hair.

Oh, it's a long time ago since this picture.

This place where you find this man, where is?

The international club.

It's on 58th street between 5th and 6th.

He works there as a chef.

Chef? It's Uncle John.

He best cook in whole world.

Excuse me, please. Got to find right away.

What, you coming back?

Oh, yes, yes. I come back.

Excuse, please, for going so quick.

When I come back, I sing songs for you.

Many, many songs.

All songs.

I'm very sorry to go.

When I come back, I bring Uncle John.

He cook best meal in whole world for you.

We have banquet.

Good bye.

When?

Excuse, please.

Thank you very much.

Servando.

Pizzo.

Gorky.

Now here we are.

That's Anna's house.

You sure is all right for me to leave here?

Oh, in Anna's house is always room.

That's how she lives.

Ich sind Rube.

Uncle John, you feel all right?

Nothing but get old.

Sometimes hard to breathe.

May ever thou be victorious when thou shall stand in battle

before thy enemy.

Jaggi Marjos.

Welcome to new home.

Now, come in, come in.

Anna, Ciancio.

John, please, he's maybe sleeping, all these people.

Oh, they are in kitchen helping Ciancio making box lunches.

Two men who worked for him quit yesterday.

Now, how do you like your new home?

It's very nice.

Anna, Ciancio, Lua.

What is happening?

Anna.

Uncle, what is happening?

That's my old friend, Gheorghe Papashvili.

I told you about him, now I find him.

Gheorghe Papashvili, you are welcome to my home.

I am Anna Gogidze, one time actress with famous Grodno Repertory Theater

playing in all the capitals of Europe.

But no more.

Oh, this is my husband, Tariel, and this is my daughter.

Just a moment, yeah?

Did you ever take a trip on ship by name of Abkhazia?

It was flagship of Southern Merchant Fleet.

And I was captain of Abkhazia for many years.

I'm very glad to meet you.

You'll be glad later.

And this is my daughter, Luba.

Lucy is my name.

I'm very honored, Lucy.

If you know someone who wants to learn piano,

Madame Grashiani teaches upstairs and downstairs.

She is widow.

Very sad for a beautiful girl so young not to have husband.

How do you do?

I now present old friend of my father, Ilico Tornevilli.

You write in, please, your name, your father's name,

when you are born, where...

Don't worry.

Every Georgian who comes here gets the same treatment.

Ilico keeps record of all Georgians in USA.

He's the same to the Georgians of City Hall, Eastern New York.

Who dies, who gets born, who gets married, it's all in that book.

I'll get it.

Ilico, he can do it in the morning.

We have so much to talk about.

All right, but if he dies in the middle of night,

there is no record.

I'm Chancho.

I do not keep records, play piano or captain boat.

Just make box lunches.

I'm very pleased.

Anna, I asked my friend Georgi to come here and live.

Of course, where else should he live?

I am very grateful.

I have also friend, my name Nuri Bey, he's come with me on boat.

He's got room for him here, too?

If he's friend of yours, he is welcome to my home.

He will be very happy.

And we will be happy.

Could you please be happy in kitchen?

Must fix box lunches.

Chancho is right, must finish.

All come in kitchen.

Hey, Chancho.

Uncle Ilico, it's for you, Western Union.

I better get the wine ready.

Chancho, Georgi and his friend Nuri Bey work all day on tar.

It's no good stick and feed, sticky nose.

Yesterday your helpers leave.

Maybe you give them jobs in box lunches, hmm?

I could use.

But I don't know how to make box lunch.

Oh, easy, easy, I show you.

He's so good looking.

He's so many.

He sell 300 a day.

To people who don't like their stomachs, sandwiches.

Sandwiches is to eating like telephone book is to reading.

Luba, get wine, please.

It's already poured.

I just received a telegram from Flint, Michigan.

Today is born to Zakara and Melusha Maskarashvili a baby boy.

Oh, good.

His relatives, this couple?

None of us ever saw him.

They're just names in his record book.

This goes on all the time.

Every time some Georgian gets married or somebody gets born.

You will please show more respect.

May this child never want for friend or let friends want.

Ghanutskvete la de la mi.

Cikareli tergata di.

Datulum basist magri alev.

Ala verdi, ala...

Oh, come in.

Sorry to be late.

Oh, that's all right.

Uncle John want very much to come, but don't feel so good.

So I'm coming in his place to cook dinner.

Very good cook, too.

Happy to make acquaintance.

Name is Nuri Bey.

Where is kitchen?

I'm sorry about Uncle John.

I'm fine.

The kitchen's right this way.

I'm going to cook for you hunkar behendi.

It's very fine Turkish dish.

I thought we were going to have shashlik.

So did I.

Shashlik is for every day.

Hunkar behendi is for party.

What is it?

How do you make it?

First you take one dozen eggplant.

What?

One dozen...

Nuri Bey, where you learn to cook?

In Turkish army.

You haven't got a dozen eggplant?

Should always have eggplant.

It's important like salt and pepper.

All right, we make dolma instead.

You have grape leaves.

No grape leaves.

I know it's careless of me, but...

Nuri Bey, look.

Man forgot to put in garlic.

No garlic.

You can't have me without garlic.

It's like fire without flame.

I go get.

You take bone from lamb.

I will take.

Here is garlic.

Now we start shashlik before he come back.

No man who is cooked for army is going to cook for me.

Unless I am in army.

Is all right to use?

Certainly.

Now, let's see what you'll need.

You've got the lamb.

Please, could I have a knife?

Oh, yes, here it is.

I'm sorry, Uncle John couldn't come.

Uncle John is sorry too.

But next week you come to house and he cook banquet.

You bring machine, everybody sing to you.

It's a date.

To tell you the truth, if I hadn't been invited, I was going to ask.

That I couldn't miss.

It's not right everybody sing to you.

Everybody sing for you.

That's right?

That's perfect.

It's so hard sometimes I think I never learn.

Oh, stop it.

You're doing amazingly well.

You know, I'd hate to listen to an American speaking your language after only five months.

I would like to speak like you are speaking.

He's different from New York I'm speaking.

I'm from California.

You got family there?

Just my grandmother and aunt left.

They live in Pasadena.

Is no one else there?

I mean, no...

No one else.

You know something?

Besides eggplants and grape leaves, I forgot to buy wine.

Oh, you're a darling.

Well, what can I do to help?

Shall I light the brawler?

Not yet.

Oh, please let me.

I can't wait to use it.

It's brand new.

I finally talked the landlord into buying it.

It's really streamlined, isn't it?

So why should we streamline stove?

It's not to get to on road 60 miles an hour.

It's not got to fly in air.

It's staying right here in kitchen, so why should we streamline?

Sir, you don't have any sharp corners.

You know, I think men who make this stove hate woman.

Look where is oven.

Look where is brawler.

But all stoves are like that.

Only since streamline.

Woman who cook have to stand on head to look inside brawler.

How many women you think is in USA?

I don't know.

About 80 million, I guess.

So we say 40 million is little girl or eating restaurant

or got somebody cook for them.

This leave another 40 million who is going to use stoves.

I guess so.

Now, from this 40 million, we say 20 million

is going to have children sometime in life.

Yes?

Yes.

All right.

Now, what is first thing doctor say to lady

who is going to have baby?

Don't bend down.

Look where is oven and brawler.

After got children, come back trouble.

Should be here.

Stove should be for woman who cook, not acrobat.

Calm down, it's not that bad.

Maybe not.

Can't light brawler now, please.

Well, how you like?

It's ambrosia.

Good meat is very good.

What you call such thing?

Should be whole meal but just make few tonight

so you can taste.

I thought the shashlik couldn't be beat

but I'll vote for this.

Yorkie.

Just good idea will make for us lots of money.

Think over.

In USA, what's everyone doing all the time?

Eating.

If not eating, chewing gum.

To fool themselves, they are eating.

So we doing business, making money.

That's not such good idea.

Must be good idea.

I think up.

It's simple.

If Helen likes, so will all Americans.

After a while, we'll take place of hot dogs.

We drink.

Nuri Bay, Papashvili, King Gully Company.

Oh, that's the best one yet.

You must be dead.

I've really given you a workout tonight.

It's nothing, it's great pleasure.

Well, I really appreciate it.

You're darling for doing it.

And now, no doubts.

You would like to hear me sing, huh?

Well, if you don't mind.

I'll be glad to.

I'm enjoying very much to sing.

Of course, voice is not what it used to be.

But it's still very nice to listen to.

You want guitar?

No, just voice.

When I turn it on, you just tell what the song's all about

and then go right into it.

Here is Nuri Bay.

Going to sing for you

Kiss Sere.

It's a love song.

Very sweet.

Very romantic.

Close by Istanbul is beautiful lake.

Boy and girl are in small boat.

It is such a night that comes only once in whole lifetime.

It's springtime.

Moon is like silver dish in sky.

Water is quiet.

Boy and girl put heads together.

And in her ear, he sing.

Good night. Thanks again.

Nuri Bay.

The word darling is very affectionate word, is it not?

Very affectionate.

Twice tonight she call me darling.

You call her darling back?

Why do you act like boys delivering groceries?

Go and tell her how you feel for her.

There.

I told you many times, don't make yourself small in own eyes.

You are very attractive fellow.

And I know Helen has great feeling for you.

Are you sure?

Georgi, if there is one thing I know all about, is women.

In first place, she call you darling.

This is word people only use when in love.

In second place, it's her eye.

I can tell by way she look at you.

You are living in her heart.

You know what she is going to do in two minutes?

She is listening to your voice and machine singing.

Hoping you are beside her.

This is what she is going to do.

I know.

Georgi!

At two o'clock we both supposed to be here for work.

No lunches tomorrow, but got the full boxes.

When we quit job with TAR and ask for money,

what it must tell us, huh?

Come back on Saturday.

What day is today?

Saturday.

Please give me mine, I want to buy present for Helen.

It's coming her birthday on Monday.

Also get something else.

Big order.

But more box lunches?

King Kali.

Chef tastes.

He says it's delicious.

It's different.

It's French chef.

I tell him about our company,

that we have large factory, big fleet of trucks.

He's very impressed.

Tonight he's having big banquet.

He's giving me big order.

Must be ready by seven o'clock.

Can't do tonight.

He's got banquet here at nine o'clock.

He's coming Helen.

Uncle John quit job early so he can cook.

Can't you get flour and yeast?

Don't have to.

I'll make arrangement with bakery.

Here is address.

By time you get there,

duff will be wrapped in package waiting for you.

Duff?

It's flour and yeast for King Kali.

That's what was called dough.

It's pronounced duff.

Uncle John say dough.

Georgie, I know he's great friend of yours.

But Uncle John don't speak English so good.

Better you learn from me.

Meat is duff.

Show you why.

When meat is hard to eat,

it's called tuff.

How you spell?

T-O-U-G-H.

Right.

When ocean is up and down,

it's called ruff.

R-O-U-G-H.

And flour and yeast for King Kali is spelled D-O-U-G-H.

So it's duff.

Duff.

Ah, it's amazing how easy is language for me.

I guess I must have natural leaning.

Here you go, Clyde.

Nuri, are you crazy?

Is enough meat there for 500 King Kali?

They must get more.

More?

Order is for 50 dozen, 600.

It's big banquet.

50 dozen?

We make lots of money, partner.

Nuri, you and King Kali business alone.

It's your idea.

I never say I go in.

50 dozen.

Whether you like or not,

you are in business.

Your money I get from tar company

is already paid for half meat and duff.

Nuri Bey,

you got no right to do such thing.

This money was for buy present for Helen.

That's why I do.

So you have more money to buy better present.

Don't you see?

I'm doing you big favor.

All right, I go get duff.

Good, hurry up.

Nuri Bey.

You do me one more favor, please.

Of course.

Starting tomorrow,

don't do me no more favor.

Excuse me.

It's all right, thank you.

It's duff.

It's packed of duff for making Kali.

You're a foreigner, aren't you?

In U.S.A. I am, yes, madam.

Get up.

Already four o'clock.

Still no Georgi, still no duff.

Don't ask questions, just beg.

Now we drink to Georgi Papashvili,

who is five months in America today.

Get up, Georgi.

I see American faces here tonight,

and I like to tell them

I am pleased to see them at this party,

because I have honor now for five months

to be at their table,

that big table which is U.S.A.,

and I enjoy all things which is put before me.

I see also here Greek,

and Georgian,

and Syrian,

and sitting in same room

and eating same food

is even Turk and Armenian.

And I say to myself,

if in U.S.A. such a thing can happen,

then here anything can happen.

Bravo.

It was a beautiful speech, Georgi.

I should have had the recording machine going for that.

You are very kind.

I want to say something about how I wish for a time

when I become citizen.

Well, that's not so far off.

In about four and a half years,

you'll be a full-fledged American,

eating hot dogs, rooting for the giant.

He's a good American now.

I thought he meant that in a little while

he'd become a citizen like you and me.

I'm not citizen.

I'm sorry. I thought...

Just because man is not able to vote

does not mean he's not as good as man who can.

Who said anything about...

Uncle John, why you never become citizen?

Because I was born at Kartlian

and I stay Kartlian.

It's not like Uncle John to act so.

What did I do?

I just said someday you'd be rooting for the giants.

I guess he must be a Yankee fan.

Well, this I've got to find out about.

No, no, no, no. I talk to him tomorrow

and smooth things over.

Look, George, as for myself,

it doesn't make any difference how he feels.

But I know how important he is to you

and I don't want to be the reason

for any strain between you two.

Helen, not now.

Georgie, what's the matter?

The two people I want more than anything

have got to fight.

Is it something I said

or is it just me you don't like?

Leave me alone, please.

Oh, no, not until you give me some idea...

It's nothing, nothing.

Oh, come now.

You don't stalk out of the house for nothing.

What kind of...

I say to myself, now it's finished.

I insult her, she cry, go home,

never speak to me again.

Instead, you come right out

and ask me what the matter...

What kind of a woman are you?

Did I say something to offend you?

No, no, it's not you.

It's me.

You see,

Georgie was very young when we meet

and he looked up to me like father

and he thinks I'm a very wise man

and I hate to disappoint,

but I'm a very stupid man

and when you talked about being citizen,

it came all back to me.

Did you have some trouble with your citizenship?

When I came to this country,

I want more than anything in the world

to be citizen of the USA.

Right away I took out first papers.

For five years I studied,

learned all the name of presidents

and everything and then

I went for examination

and you know what happens?

George Washington, Abraham Lincoln,

everybody is leaving my head.

I did not pass examination.

I am disgraced.

But you could have tried again.

Wait, wait.

I study some more.

I go back.

I'm outside room where many Swiss ask questions.

Walking up and down,

up and down,

seeing answers to myself

and everything is fine

and then they call my name

and suddenly I begin to shake

and everything get mixed up

and now it's George Lincoln,

Abraham Philadelphia

and I go home and never come back.

That's where I am still tortured.

You were just nervous.

I bet I could make you pass that test.

How?

By coaching you,

by going to the examiner with you

and not letting you get scared.

You would do such a thing?

Of course I would.

You are a real friend.

Please, don't tell Georgie.

I want her that she shall be frightened by examination.

I promise I won't.

Gentlemen, Western Union called again.

I'll come.

You see.

I just received a telegram from Pittsburgh.

Chakra Babuzi...

Chakra Babuzi is dead today.

Not married.

Sorry.

I was thinking of wedding.

Is there trouble, Uncle John?

What is the trouble?

I call meeting to talk about our friend Georgie Papashvili.

It's very serious.

What is happening to Georgie?

He's sick.

I take care of him.

I was nurse to my husband for two years before he died.

Sit down.

That's not that kind of sickness.

That's here.

And who is he enjoying this sickness with?

Helen.

That is bad.

He is a bad lady.

Like Madame Grishiani.

Oh, no.

Madame Grishiani is too old.

Dariel, how can you say such thing?

She is cousin of my uncle.

So is your flesh and blood.

So my own husband would say a thing.

You think she is too old?

Just think Georgie is too young.

Anna is right.

She should be Georgian lady.

Now I have here in Cleveland, Ohio,

a Georgian girl by the name Pelona Ghazouri,

daughter of Datiko.

She is young, beautiful, is very good cook,

and...

What's wrong with American lady?

American ladies are wrong in three places.

First place, American ladies don't like

to have foreigner names.

I know a Georgian man

by the name of Teks Valashvili

who married American girl.

She makes him go into court

by the name of Thomas Dewey.

In election, Thomas Dewey don't win.

Uh-huh.

How do you think he feels then,

this Georgian fellow?

And after Dewey lose twice,

he changed name back to Teks Valashvili.

And what do you think he does to my record book?

Second place,

American ladies cook only from book.

Book gets lost, husband starve.

Helen is very good cook.

And I will teach her Georgian dishes.

Third place is but gets.

But gets?

But gets means writing money down

before you are spending.

Mama, you mean budgets.

But gets is this.

If tomorrow,

Georgi is wanting to drink glass of wine,

yesterday he has to write in book,

I am drinking wine 25 cents.

Wait a minute.

I find here another Georgian girl in Denver.

Make very good wife.

Come from beautiful family.

Is 26 years old

and best cook in the whole book.

But he loves Helen.

He don't love good cook in Denver.

But how does he know?

He has never seen her.

Georgi.

Yes, Uncle John.

Come in.

But I was going out.

First you are coming in.

Good evening.

All your friends here talked about you

and reached important decision.

I have not reached.

Do not interrupt.

We decided you should engage yourself to Helen.

Quick, tonight.

Uncle John would like very much to engage myself

but I think he is too fast.

Georgi, in USA everything is fast.

Lady and gentleman meet on Saturday,

have date on Sunday,

marry Monday.

But Helen is not such person.

So now you are expert.

Believe me,

if there is one thing I know all about

is American women.

Sure you were over 100% wrong.

Helen has not seen you lately, huh?

Tonight she sees me.

What happened the last three time you asked her for dinner?

She was busy.

And why was she busy?

Because you never once say something romantic to her.

She is not girl from school.

She is at the age where she is looking for a husband.

Unless you say something to her quick,

she will find some other man,

who will.

But how can I ask Helen to marry me?

I have nothing.

Is she a queen in a castle with a million dollars?

No, she is an ordinary girl

who works in court on a machine.

And you are an ordinary man

who works making box lunches.

So you marry.

Would like very much, Uncle John, but I don't think...

Enough talk.

You like, we like, it's finished.

Now go.

And when you are engaged, come back with Helen

and I will cook big banquet for celebration.

But...

Go.

Now everybody in kitchen, we make banquet.

Oh, hello George, come in.

I was going to call you,

but I've been busy talking to every airline in town.

My aunt phoned about an hour ago.

My grandmother just had a stroke.

She's got a seat on a plane.

I've got to hurry, I've only got 45 minutes.

Helen, I'm awful sorry.

Even though she's 76 and you know

it's got to happen someday still,

when it does, it's...

She and I have been awfully close.

My parents died when I was a kid.

She raised me.

I hope when you get there she is much better.

The doctors don't promise much.

Is there anything I can do to help you get ready?

No, I'm all packed.

I was just waiting for you.

Let me see, Mrs. Parker,

clean out the icebox and turn off the gas.

Will she water the ivy?

Oh, she might not.

Would you take care of it for me, dear?

I wouldn't want her to die.

I take good care.

I hate to go, but if I don't, I'll never make it.

You don't want to leave?

I never thought I'd mind.

I suddenly find out I do.

I guess when you get attached to a place

and certain people...

Well, here, I'll take this.

You carry the suitcases.

You got everything?

I think so.

Would you like for me to come to Plain with you?

Oh, I'd love it, George,

but there won't be a minute to spare

and then you'd have that long trip back from LaGuardia.

After all, I'll be back soon.

How long are you going to be gone?

Well, it all depends, of course,

but I should guess about two weeks.

Well, goodbye, George.

Take good care of yourself.

LaGuardia, please.

Do you have the charger for Mr. Spencer?

I remember he likes just a touch of garlic.

I'm glad you quit box lunch business.

You're the best vegetable man I ever see.

I have to quit. It's only fair.

Chancho was not getting money's worth from me.

He got too many things on my mind.

Georgie, I must give you advice.

Helen said she will be away for two weeks.

All right, now you have two months,

but you got to stop acting so.

You are like a clock without ticking.

But let us say she don't know when she is coming back now.

Maybe not for a long time.

Grandmother is not better.

She's not worse.

Well, there's only one thing to do.

Go to California.

I got money's aid.

Thank you, but could not let you do it.

If you don't got job, it's one thing,

but you got good job here.

Good job.

I said just a touch of garlic.

That's how I make Chachoch Bimi.

Since you don't like, I quit.

Now I have no more job.

I think I go to California.

Would you like to come along?

It's wonderful.

Orange blossom all my life.

I dream to go to California

and now comes through my dream.

When we go?

We? Go just you and me.

And leave Lube and me behind?

We must go.

How can Lube become a moving picture star

if she does not go to Hollywood?

It's impossible.

Well, since we are in New York, we start from here.

You are part of the wish he's talking about?

When I was captain of Abkhazia,

I sailed every one of the seven seas

in all kinds of weather

and I was never once off the course.

And why?

Because I'm an expert navigator.

I'll take compass with me.

California is west.

So I look at compass

and keep us in right direction.

And we take only roads going west.

It's very simple if you know how.

Tariel, it's not necessary.

Uncle John and me, we go by bus.

Driver can take us.

No, more practical idea.

To all put money in pot and buy car.

When we come to Chicago, I'll find here shortcuts.

Saves much time and...

Anna, is not possible your idea.

Say we buy car

and in it we put Uncle John,

you, me, Luba, Tariel.

Is five.

Where goes all suitcase?

They go in Chancho's truck.

Chancho goes too?

He just sell box lunch business to Nuri Bay.

Anna, must be practical.

You cannot just walk from house.

You got lease.

It's all arranged.

Madame Grishiani takes over.

Nuri Bay hires your friend

for box lunch business and they stay here.

Also have two more friends who move in.

Now I have in California...

I suppose you come too.

No, I stay.

Get too many letters, telegram.

It's too much trouble writing everybody

changing address.

But when you come to California,

I have second cousin by name Besso.

He live near place by name Azusa.

Has very big farm there.

And here is his address.

Good, we all go see him.

No, we do not all go see him.

Just Georgi and me.

Finish letter.

Going everybody is too much trouble.

All right, girl.

Leave behind good friends.

Leave me to freeze in cold winters.

Like when we have big snow.

And I'm struggling through snow.

Pile ups to my waist.

But leave me.

After all, who am I?

Nothing but good friend

who opens doors of her house to you

when you are poor

and have no place ever.

So, so good.

Also is coming Anna, Luba,

Tariel and Chancho.

Wait till you meet this crew.

They're completely mad

and utterly charming.

What are they coming for?

Well, my guess is that they were all

sitting around the living room one rainy day

and Anna remarked that rain depressed her.

So, Tariel said, let's go to California.

Everybody else said, why not?

Oh, Helen.

I mean it.

They're completely unpredictable.

and nice and nice.

It's usually to get to some place

or somebody.

You're sure you're not the reason he's coming out?

Oh, of course not.

See, it's going to be tough.

And you're sure you're not in love with him?

Those green pills are going to your head.

Well, what's so funny about it?

Well, I don't know, but I...

He's a man, isn't he?

And a very honest, considerate, sweet one.

But he somehow doesn't strike one as being, well...

And after all, mother,

he isn't even a citizen.

Well, this may come as a big surprise to you, Florence,

but the glands are not controlled by second papers.

Listen to this.

He's going to be tight fit,

but we put all the baggage in Chancho's truck.

You look very tired.

Do you want me to drive?

No!

An accident.

We're going in the wrong direction.

Mine say Highway 66.

Compass says north is there, so we're going south.

It's because road make turn.

But if California is west,

why does road go south?

Maybe there was a lake or something in the way.

There was another road back there that goes straight.

It was dirt road.

Mine say take Highway 66, so I stay on 66.

It's big mistake.

Should only go on roads going west.

That way make shortcuts.

Shortcuts, huh?

Shortcuts.

George Washington, Joan Adams,

Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, James Monroe.

George Washington, Joan Adams, Thomas Jefferson...

Get in here.

By taking road, it goes west.

You and your compass!

Piero, stop!

It only make it worse.

The chain truck would pull out if you had chain.

Sancho, you go that way, I go this way.

Maybe we find help.

And you could not stay on main road.

You've got to take shortcuts,

so we end up in middle of boiling desert.

You take away that thing.

You think it's funny, huh?

Well, you wait, you...

This is what is going to happen to all of us.

We'll all die here from starving,

and when they find us, we'll be just like that.

Skeletons.

Because you've got to steer car like a boat.

Indians!

You must treat them with great respect.

They are first citizens of USA.

They have captured Georgi,

and they are coming now to kill us.

They've taken the skin from our animals.

Mama, stop it.

Don't be afraid, Anna.

Don't be afraid.

I will not let them touch you.

I have a knife.

Before I die, I kill you and Kluba.

in the mutiny, I had a knife.

Shut up, both of you!

Look, sign!

It's only 12 miles away.

Look at big sign!

Azusa, look!

Azusa?

It's place where Beso, Ilika's cousin, lives.

Since we're here, Papa, why don't we go to this place first?

Oh, no, we go to Helen first.

Ilika's cousin is Georgian.

He will have banquet and I'm hungry.

We can eat later.

First, we go to Helen.

Have your own pleasure.

That I'm starving is not important.

I'm nobody.

Just something in the back seat.

Something like another suitcase.

Something that has no feelings.

No stomachs.

You are right to be paid no attention.

Azusa.

Because, after all, who am I?

Such a house.

I once acted in play that had house just like this.

Some very nice people.

I am one of them.

Are coming to house and are going in.

But are never coming out.

What happens to them?

They are all dead from being murdered.

Looks like there's nobody home.

Such a house like this, if anybody is home, he shouldn't be.

And what is this thing?

Maybe it was ghost.

What did you say?

I'm not talking to him. I'm talking to Dor.

I'm saying, listen, Dor.

Whoever is standing behind you is crazy.

And his father was crazy.

And his grandfather was crazy.

And I am not going to his funeral.

Please come to my house.

You go first.

I take it back about your father and your grandfather.

But I still think you are crazy.

How can you, a Georgian, keep people out of the house?

I don't want to know nobody.

I want everybody go away, leave me alone.

I'm miser.

Then why did you let us in at all?

When I hear your voice, I split in half.

I don't know what to do.

Turn away my countrymen?

Let you go and say thereafter,

I knocked the door of Beso,

but door stayed closed against me?

I would have no face left.

So, I let you in.

Please come in.

I suppose explanation is you was Georgian first,

before you started being miser.

I suppose.

Please sit down on broken chairs.

My name is Georgi Papashvili.

And this is Uncle John.

And over there is Chancho.

And this is Anna Gogitse.

And Lyuba Gogitse.

And Pariel Gogitse.

Did I ever take a trip on ship by name Abkhazia?

Oh, sit down.

We are sent to you by your cousin Illigo.

Oh, Illigo must be very nice man.

He writes me you are coming.

He writes me many letters

and tells me what Georgian is living there.

But I do not answer because

writing paper is costing money.

You are first Georgian I ever met

who do not like company.

Most times we are too much the other way.

If I am acquainted with people,

they borrow from me.

So, I make rule, don't see people.

You want we should go?

No, no, no, no.

As long as you are here, might as well stay.

Why you want to be miser?

Are you having pleasure from being?

How can one have pleasure in house like this?

Then why you let house get like this?

And trees, why you let weeds choke them up?

Lent is not good.

If I had such farm...

You like to buy?

Where I get such money?

I lend it to you.

I always hope to find buyer.

But since I do not like to meet people,

I never have chance to sell.

Why do you want to sell?

One day I find newspaper on road.

Somebody throw from car

and I read in state of Nevada

there is places where is nobody for 50 miles.

Want to go and live right in the middle

of such 50 miles.

How much you want for this farm?

What does it matter if I am lending you the money?

This is all I want to know.

We'll talk later.

Now I take you to your rooms.

Ladies.

After I take one look at house,

I know the thoughts I am thinking

are thoughts of crazy man.

If I work for 100 years,

I could not buy her such home.

Uncle John, there is only one thing to do.

We got to go away from here.

We go to San Francisco, any place.

But you just bought farm from Beso.

I have not bought yet.

I said I would like to own such a farm

but I did not buy.

Beso!

Georgi, to marry in the USA

is not how much you got,

it's how much you love.

It's not like in our village in Kartli

where woodcutter can only marry

daughter of other woodcutter.

But Uncle John, man who cuts grass

on such place makes more money than I could.

It's no use to argue, I got mind made up.

You want me?

Beso, I find out just now

that this gentleman I beg of you

please to tear up paper.

Georgi, I admit I am gentleman

but I am also miser.

Gentleman he misses, tear up paper.

But miser says,

it would be very bad business.

And since I am more miser than gentleman,

I must hold you to your handshake.

Beso is crazy,

I never shake hands to buy farm.

Georgi, it's better so.

If you run away now,

maybe all your life you will regret.

There's no law says

you must ask her to marry right away.

First buy farm,

then you will own a piece of America.

Then you can hold your head high

and you have perfect right

to ask anybody to marry.

But Uncle John.

If you still feel the same later,

no harm is done.

Now, do me another favor.

Go see Helen and take her ivy plant.

Even she is no more than friend.

You must see her.

Just make sociable visit.

Say nothing about marrying.

Now, now go.

I...

You certainly taken good care of this, Georgi.

It looks like Jack's beanstalk.

I don't do nothing special.

Just let it grow.

You mean you brought that thing

all the way from New York?

Well, was room on truck,

so just bring along.

Oh, how's Newry Bay and Elico?

They just fine.

You miss New York, Helen?

Oh, I did it first,

but I got a job now.

Oh, with machine?

Taking depositions, minutes and meetings.

And what about you, young man?

Is this a pleasure trip, business or what?

Well,

Uncle John decide he want to go to California

and then I decide to go with him

and then others decide to go with us.

He's very Georgian.

In my country he's saying

to keep a friend company,

a Georgian once hanged himself.

Well, now that you're here,

do you intend to settle?

Well, don't know yet.

Thought maybe we'd go to San Francisco,

but Besso, he's Elico's cousin,

has got place at Azusa where we are staying

and he want I should buy his farm.

Out here we call them ranches, pardon.

What kind of a ranch is it?

Rundown.

Well, it's got few orange trees.

Well, now you're talking my language.

That's what my husband did.

This whole block was known as Watson's Grove

before we subdivided.

Must have been very big farm, ranch.

Yeah, but we started with only two acres.

That was in 1904.

1905.

1904.

We left Scotland in September 1903.

You were four months old.

Stayed six months in Cleveland

and came out in 1904.

You mean you and your husband was immigrants?

And my husband was just about as old as you

when he came.

Some more tea, George?

No, thank you. I've got to go now.

All the others are waiting.

Well, goodbye.

It's very nice to meet you.

Pardon my left hand,

but my right one doesn't seem to belong to me lately.

Goodbye.

And don't be a stranger around here.

I like you.

Oh, what's going on?

It looks like you've got ants.

George wrote to Illico

and told him he bought a rundown farm.

So Illico wrote to all Georgians in California

and ordered them to come down

and bring friends this Sunday

to help George fix up.

So they come from Fresno, San Diego, Bakersfield.

Must be two dozen.

What are you, the supervisor?

No, I want to work, but they won't let me.

If he works, he starts panting like a dog.

I got a letter from government

to come for citizen examination on Wednesday.

Are you ready?

Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe,

other Adam, Jackson.

You're ready. I'll pick you up Wednesday morning.

Where's George?

Out in Orange Trees.

Oh, they sure look healthy now.

They should.

Georgie works 18, 20 hours a day.

The house is going to look beautiful.

Wouldn't you be proud to live in such a house?

I sure would.

You see, that's what I tell Georgie.

To hear you say that would make Georgie...

Excuse me, will you?

What did she mean by that?

Nothing, nothing.

Remember me?

I'm the girl who keeps asking until she finds out.

Oh, this Anna's such a mouth.

Well, you probably guessed a long time ago anyway,

so it won't be such a surprise

when Georgie gets everything finished,

he's going to ask you to marry with him.

It is surprise.

Not a little one.

You don't feel the same?

I wish I did, Uncle Charlie, but I just...

Someone else?

I said no.

But you said no as I said nothing, nothing.

I'm also the kind of person who keeps asking

until he finds out.

I was.

That's why I went to New York,

trying to get over it.

I think I did.

He was just like this,

one of these one-sided affairs.

I was completely in love with him

and I thought he felt the same.

Why do such things have to happen

to people I like?

You tell him now.

Uncle John, these things are never easy,

but the longer you wait, the more it hurts.

Hello!

Helen!

Well, it's good to see you.

You're digging it too far from the tree.

I wish Grandma was here.

The government book don't say what to do

if you fertilize it with too much nitrate of soda.

Just prune the dead branches and tar the stumps.

You know too?

Until I was 14, I didn't know there was

another kind of tree but an orange.

Well, what do you think of the farm, Reg?

You like the way it's coming along?

Oh, it certainly looks a thousand percent better,

but Uncle John says you're working too hard.

Well, I've got something to show you.

Look what I got yesterday.

It's a bill for taxes.

Just think, I'm in this country less than a year

and already I owe for land tax.

It's great progress, no?

Thank you, George.

You know, sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night

and I think to myself,

in a village where I come from,

on a ranch, farm,

one quarter so big as this,

a man can raise a family

and send children to school

and have golden watch with golden chain.

And such a farm is mine.

George, there's something I...

Oh, Helen, there's something else I want to show you.

Hey!

Uncle John,

Helen knows more about oranges than government.

I think we'd throw a book away and keep her instead.

Oh, I've got to wash hands.

I'll meet you inside.

You didn't tell him?

I couldn't, not now.

I tried, but he's so enthusiastic about this place.

Mimi, it's better we don't tell him all at once.

Little by little.

That way doesn't hurt so much.

I can find time now and then

to say small things,

make him be prepared for it.

Would you, Uncle John?

Sure.

Now, come, go in.

I want to drink my thanks to all of you

who come here today

to help fix up this house.

But more, we are here to say goodbye

and to drink health of Besso,

who goes tonight to Nevada.

Besso,

Besso, we got present for you.

Has lock on it,

so inside you can keep your money.

We drink to Besso.

Everybody drink to Besso.

Before you drink,

I have something to say.

I'm not going.

But by tonight,

house will be all fixed up.

There is no more reason for you to stay.

But this house is investment for me.

And the miser must stay close to his investment,

otherwise he's not good miser.

That's what you say now.

But maybe if I'm far away in Nevada,

you try to cheat me

and don't send money.

No, no, no, no, no.

I stay and make sure you pay.

We drink anyway

to Besso,

the most generous miser I ever know.

And a man who like nothing better

than to live alone

with lots of company.

Besso, Besso,

Ras Bonico.

unemployment.

Unemployment.

George has gone to get the doctor.

Just take it easy,

you are gonna be all right.

Washington, Adams, Jefferson. I know all answers. I wanted very much to die a citizen. Now it's too late.

No, it's not, Uncle John. I know a judge. He's a friend of the family. You hold on.

And now, who was the first president of the United States?

George Washington, father of country.

Why did the original English settlers first come to America?

For same reason I came. To be free. Free to pray in own church. Free to be equal with other peoples. Also, it's very fine place to live.

Who called a republic a government of the people, by the people, for the people?

It was Abraham Lincoln, a very upstanding American.

What is the largest river in the United States?

No help from audience, please. I know answer. It's Mississippi. And I take this obligation freely.

And without any mental reservation.

Or purpose of evasion.

So help me God.

By the power vested in me, I pronounce you a citizen of the United States of America.

Congratulations, Uncle John.

Congratulations.

Very well.

Please, no more talking. Let him rest now.

You know, I said before, if I only can become citizen, I won't mind to die. I want to vote.

You will too, don't worry.

Please, doctor, you're a very fine man, but in time like this, I would like best friends should hold my hands.

It's easier.

There is a sea in our country.

Oh, while you were out getting that tree, Mr. Papashvili called.

You told me that.

Did I?

See how I'm losing my memory?

Did I tell you he called this afternoon too?

Yes, and I wish he'd stop goading me. I know what he wants.

He wants me to have dinner with him.

If I do, I'll have to tell him.

Isn't that more kind than just not answering?

Don't you think he's been through enough the past couple of weeks with the funeral and...

You don't want to see him.

Not because you'll have to say no, but because you might say yes.

But I told you and told you and...

That he doesn't give you that chill up and down your spine.

That you can get from a cold shower.

And that you've had.

And what did it give you?

Two of the coldest years you've ever known.

And even if Fred hadn't walked out on you, it would have been wrong.

He didn't need you.

And that's the only basis for a marriage.

To be needed and wanted.

And not only in marriage.

In just everyday living.

The person that somebody doesn't need and want is awfully lonely.

Can't you ever talk about anything else?

Florence!

Stupid of us. There she sits and we talk about...

That's one of the penalties for being silent and 50.

People begin treating you like furniture.

And watch out, young lady.

You're well on the way to becoming a straight-back chair yourself.

Don't you understand? I've got to be certain this time.

I know he loves me, but...

We're a thousand miles apart in a thousand different ways.

What worries me is not whether it's this man or not.

But whether you'll ever let yourself be in love with any man again.

Not until I'm sure.

Until I am, I'm not going to get emotionally involved.

Unless you do, you can't begin to be sure.

At least you don't get hurt.

That's what Florence said years ago.

And come to think of it, she never has been hurt since.

Oh, and crank me down, dear, before you go.

We now take you to the office of the fruit frost service at Pomona for the frost warnings.

Good evening. Following are the lowest temperature estimates for California citrus areas.

Azusa district. Azusa 26...

Freeze tonight, eh? A little early.

What did he say Azusa would be?

26.

Hasn't George ever fought a freeze before?

Oh, well, he's got a lot of help out there.

If you call that help, they'll probably bring the smudge pots in the kitchen and cook a banquet on them.

Don't get excited. They're not your oranges.

I told him to get experienced help, but no, no, he could do it.

Well, we'll find out. Tomorrow he's going to have ten acres of rotten oranges.

Dress warm. You might get a chill.

You've got your pots too spread out. Get some more in here.

Get them on the northeast side of the tree.

You should have started this two hours ago.

I told you to get some help, but no, no, you could do it by yourself.

But books say that freeze don't begin until January.

What's the temperature?

20.

Get the pots.

But books say...

I don't care what the book says. Get the pots.

But, Helen, listen to me.

Will you get the pots?

It's too cold here. We should go back to our house and have hot coffee.

What's this supposed to be, a family reunion? Get some more pots in here.

And another oil drop.

But, Helen...

Don't stand there. Get going. Do you want George to lose all his trees?

37.

I'm tired like a dead cow.

Never in my whole life did I ever realize there is so much work in one glass of orange juice.

I'm sorry I gave you such a rough time, Luke. At least we managed to save most of them.

Well, I guess we all could stand a little sleep.

I had big plans to make this ranch like your grandfather's.

And when it was so, I was going to ask you to marry with me.

But, George, I...

Please let me finish first. All night long I am practicing. If I stop now, I get all messed up.

Now I think perhaps to wait is not the best idea.

If it is going to be a good ranch, we should make it so together.

Because marriage is a living thing and it should grow like a tree.

George...

Please, I have nothing that I can offer you now except this place, which is not paid for.

But every room is filled with love for you.

I need you, Helen, just like a man who...

Can I say one word now?

You mean you would marry with me now?

You know why? Because I need you a lot more than you need me.

Remember how we were. I'll come back in just a minute.

Petra!

Oh, you look fine!

Why is it so smoky?

It's a smudge pot for orange trees.

Nuribe, why you don't write and say you are coming?

We drive all night to get here.

Madame Grishiani!

No longer Madame Grishiani. I'm Madame Nuribe now.

Helen, come look and see what happened!

I know, I know! We make banquet!

Go inside, go inside. Say hello to Helen.

Nuribe, what you think? Just this minute Helen say she is going to marry with me.

It's no surprise. I tell you, first time you meet her, Helen is very much in love with you.

Georgi, if there is one thing I know all about, it's women.
