You really make me feel wanted.

Who's the lucky boy?

I'm having dinner with my sister.

Is she a good cook?

[ Chuckles ] I don't know. I never thought about it.

Well, at least it can't be any worse than fish and chips.

[ Chuckles ]

I think we are having rabbit.

Rabbit? Oh.

I thought they'd all been killed off.

- No. She has a friend — - A rabbit?

No, I think the friend has rabbits.

Poor bunny. Well, what about tomorrow?

How long?

Ten or 1 2 days.

No more than that?

[ Chuckles ]

I heard such a funny story on the news this evening.

Does he have to leave his things in the bathroom?

The minister of health— What's his name?

He found eels coming out of his sink.

It was on the television. Even the announcer was laughing.

Why does he put his toothbrush in my glass?

Carol, please.

We must get this crack mended.

- What? - [ Doorbell Rings ]

[ Door Closes ]

- Hello. - Hello.

You're early. I didn't expect you for hours.

I couldn't live without you for another minute.

Idiot. Anyway, you said 8:30. I haven't even started yet.

There's a marvelous story in this evening's paper.

- It takes at least one hour. - Huh?

Your rabbit. I'm cooking it.

Look. "Bring to the boil. Skim and allow to simmer slowly for one and a half hours."

Yes. Well, we'll eat out tonight. I'll take you out.

- Here. Look. Read that. - [ Bell Clanging ]

Oh, I know that. I saw it on television.

- That bloody bell. - [ Clanging Continues ]

Eels. [ Chuckles ]

Pity it wasn't lobster though.

You never give me a chance to show you what a good cook I am.

- Well you can tell me over dinner. - [ Clanging Continues ]

You'd think they'd have something better to do than clang away like that all the time.

Hmm. It's worse when they start doing it at midnight.

I wonder what they ring it for anyway. Perhaps they have wild parties.

- Maybe they'll invite me sometime. - [ Chuckles ]

[ Clanging Stops ]

Go and put your best bib and tucker on. I feel like a spree.

Ah.

The beautiful younger sister.

Comment ca va?

I thought you were eating in.

Aren't you going to have dinner?

Yes. I'm going to have dinner.

- But not here. - No.

Not here.

[ Sighs ]

Pass me that brush, will you? There's a love.

Just because I go out once, there's no need to start sulking.

- I'm not sulking. - Hmm. Well, you're not exactly smiling.

Come on. You're not going in for the Miss World competition.

[ Elevator Whirs ]

Will we go and see the Leaning Tower of Pisa?

I don't think Cinderella likes me.

- Cinderella? - The little sister.

Ah' don't be silly.

Well are we going to see the Leaning Tower of Pisa?

She's a bit strung-up, isn't she?

- She's just sensitive. That's all. - [ Chuckles ]

You can say that again. She should see a doctor.

- What do you mean? - Nothing, nothing, nothing.

- No. You tell me what you meant by that. - Nothing. Let's forget it.

You want to see the Leaning Tower of Pisa, we'll see the bloody thing. Now let's relax.

- We're going to dinner aren't we? - Don't always change the subject when you start talking like that. You hear?

Are you in love with him?

I'm not in love with anyone.

Well, what were you up to for the last three days?

Oh, well. That's enough to drive anyone up the wall.

You ought to go out, go to a movie or something.
