00:01:27 It isn't lucrative.
00:01:30 Yeah, you got to always consider
00:01:35 Hold on a second.
00:01:38 Hello? What's up?
00:01:57 I'm good. I had a great meeting today.
00:02:00 Damon Dash. Great meeting.

00:02:07 Let me take this, man.
00:02:24 Yes, Damon is definitely... Hello?
00:02:28 I'm definitely producing,
00:02:58 Listen to me very carefully.
00:03:01 I have two guaranteed shots
00:03:04 Damon Dash is buying a movie studio
00:03:09 And number two: if by some freak
00:03:13 then Count Tommaso Lupo,
00:03:17 is desperate to hire me
00:04:33 Yeah. Check out Belize.
00:04:35 It's off the coast of Mexico.
00:04:38 It seems to me
00:04:41 - Ford!
00:04:44 - Where have you been?
00:04:46 - It's been two years!
00:04:48 No! Where have you been?
00:04:51 You remember $9,300, what I gave
00:04:54 Are you still a bum?
00:04:57 - You seriously hitting me for $9,300?
00:05:00 You haven't returned
00:05:03 - This is incredible.
00:05:05 - I was talking about you...
00:05:08 ...with Damon Dash. Are you finished?
00:05:10 I don't care about Damon Dash.
00:05:12 - Go ahead, finish.
00:05:15 - I gave it to you when I didn't have it.
00:05:18 - And I felt sorry for you!
00:05:21 - I want $9,300. I don't care about him!
00:05:25 - I don't care!
00:05:28 - I don't care about being a star!
00:05:31 - I want $9,300.
00:05:34 - I don't care. I want my money.
00:05:37 - Get away from me. I want my money.
00:05:41 - I don't want it.
00:05:43 - We'll talk, after you show up with it.
00:05:47 - I'm wrong! You've got a psychosis!
00:05:51 It's like a self-destructive disease!
00:05:53 - You're crazy!
00:05:55 - I want my money. $9,300.
00:05:58 - I am not looking around.
00:06:02 - I want my money now!
00:06:06 You want it? I'm going to a meeting.
00:06:09 - Hand it over! I want it right now!
00:06:12 - Give it! Don't look at me like that!
00:06:15 - I want my money! Now!
00:06:18 - The ship is sailing away.
00:06:21 - You're killing the golden goose. Fine!
00:06:24 You're pissing me off so much,
00:06:27 You don't have it. Liar!
00:06:28 - I'm not gonna 'cause you're a moron!
00:06:33 - You're sick, destructive. Won't give it.
00:06:37 Goodbye, moron!
00:06:40 Oh, my God!
00:06:43 Excuse me,
00:06:46 Yes. You must be Vera. Great to meet
00:06:51 Thank you.
00:06:54 - What's up?
00:06:57 I had a meeting in the park.
00:06:59 - This is not a meeting?
00:07:01 Listen. 1-900 phone calls.
00:07:04 - I'm sure you made a couple.
00:07:06 We could set up an account,
00:07:09 Let me ask, as I'm interested
00:07:13 as an assistant, because it's a job
00:07:16 What do you want from this job,
00:07:21 Where are you in your life now?
00:07:22 Wow, that's a big question.
00:07:24 You'll need bribe money
00:07:26 It's not a lot of money.
00:07:29 You got to check out
00:07:31 It's a safe common thing because
00:07:35 I read the book you just published.
00:07:37 - Horror of Horrors, yes.
00:07:39 - Prof. Rabs.
00:07:41 - Hey, how you doing?
00:07:45 - This is, I hope, my new assistant.
00:07:48 - This is my guy I was telling you about.
00:07:50 Ready to do the damn thing.
00:07:52 Good. What I'm doing is these guys
00:07:55 - It's open season. Trying to mix races.
00:07:59 I'm going to try to.
00:08:01 Carol!
00:08:04 Gas, gasoline prices are going up
00:08:08 bringing in... He owns
00:08:10 What we do is
00:08:13 They're gonna come in thinking they're
00:08:17 and instead I'm going to step back
00:08:20 and just say to them,
00:08:23 Hey, Carol!
00:08:26 Not enough
00:08:28 but just enough to make it worthwhile,
00:08:32 No, you get a layover on... Listen.
00:08:37 What are we, the consultants?
00:08:39 The fucking thing adds up. We go in.
00:08:43 We set up the guy.
00:08:47 It's remarkable how one book
00:08:51 can serve to bring out
00:08:55 and connect and erase
00:09:00 - People are plagued by sexual-
00:09:03 Hey, Carol! I don't believe this shit.
00:09:09 Excuse me. Mike Tyson.
00:09:13 I'm Hassan Al-Ibrahim Ben Rabinowitz.
00:09:18 at the university here. And I would
00:09:22 to talk to my students because I think
00:09:27 Listen, brother, I'm not who you
00:09:31 I'm Buck from Minnesota.
00:09:34 Take the finance pages. There were
00:09:38 One was on NASDAQ. One was
00:09:42 One was worth 50¢ a stock
00:09:46 - You're not Mike Tyson?
00:09:49 - I thought you were Mike Tyson.
00:09:52 - Fucking Christ! Hold on a second.
00:09:59 Shit. I'm sorry, Ford.
00:10:01 It's Buck, nigger.
00:10:05 If you knew better, you'd do better.
00:10:08 All right. Okay.
00:10:09 You know, bin Laden, Sharon,
00:10:14 Good luck, Buck.
00:10:17 I don't believe this bitch.
00:10:18 You should look into this other thing.
00:10:22 Look over here. Listen to me,
00:10:25 What do you got?
00:10:26 Distribution of porn. Bringing in these
00:10:31 Moscow, Saint Petersburg.
00:10:35 - What do you do?
00:10:39 - You do. Where do you work out?
00:10:41 - Really? Me, too. Yes.
00:10:44 Your name is?
00:10:45 - Vera Barrie. And yours?
00:10:48 - Michael, right. Of course, yes.
00:10:54 I didn't want to interrupt anything,
00:10:58 - At least he says he's not.
00:11:01 I don't know.
00:11:02 - He looks a lot like him.
00:11:05 - Hi. How are you doing?
00:11:08 - That's an amazing bracelet.
00:11:11 - Would you like something like that?
00:11:15 - So, uptown or downtown?
00:11:18 Okay. Maybe I'll see you there.
00:11:20 - That would be great.
00:11:22 Nice to meet you.
00:11:25 That's a friend of yours?
00:11:27 Yes. It's a friend, Michael,
00:11:32 So, anyways I was saying
00:11:36 Prof. Rabinowitz.
00:11:44 I'm jammed, overwhelmed. Maybe the
00:11:51 Could you set up,
00:11:53 - You know?
00:11:55 These girls are working for free,
00:11:57 Then you gotta redistribute all over
00:12:00 There's a lot of competition for that.
00:12:03 I will absolutely try to.
00:12:07 Okay? Sorry, I should have called.
00:12:12 - I don't know what to say.
00:12:15 You don't have to know. What are you
00:12:19 Just hanging around.
00:12:21 Really?
00:12:24 - You.
00:12:26 Do you think I can get
00:12:29 - Yeah.
00:12:30 I got it.
00:12:37 Ended up being a beautiful day, huh?
00:12:39 Yes.
00:12:41 Beautiful weather, 80 degrees,
00:12:46 You stay here in the country.
00:12:48 - You put a little suit on.
00:12:50 Exactly. You go into a big business,
00:12:55 Hotel's good.
00:12:56 You doing anything tonight?
00:12:58 I'm not sure yet. But I'll let you know.
00:13:00 - All right.
00:13:02 Nice meeting you.
00:13:06 Sorry about that.
00:13:08 Are those students of yours?
00:13:11 - No, those are actually teachers.
00:13:14 Yeah.
00:13:16 And I assume
00:13:20 From about five years ago.
00:13:22 Like the other guy, too?
00:13:24 - Actually, it's weird I saw both of them.
00:13:28 I'm the mouthpiece. So I'm taking
00:13:34 When did you become a negotiator?
00:13:35 I'm taking the risk.
00:13:38 - If shit goes-
00:13:40 If shit goes down,
00:13:42 - I'm the one outside dealing with shit.
00:13:45 That raises an interesting question.
00:13:47 Did you actually know
00:13:50 you strangely enough approached?
00:13:53 Or were they new?
00:13:57 No. Like I said, one of them, this
00:14:02 It was a shock to see him. The other
00:14:06 Now, if we're going to work together...
00:14:08 the only way to make it worthwhile
00:14:14 So I am going to say something abrupt
00:14:17 I think you took the occasion...
00:14:20 of my odd sudden encounters...
00:14:23 to, in effect, explore the possibility...
00:14:26 of knowing two men on one street
00:14:30 and there's no reason you shouldn't be
00:14:35 Okay, you're right.
00:14:38 No, I hadn't met them before.
00:14:41 Forget it. Listen, mail-order brides,
00:14:45 Nothing judgmental. In fact,
00:14:48 And I believe that you're...
00:14:51 obviously in your early-middle 20s.
00:14:54 You're on a journey, as we all are.
00:14:56 And that journey is just beginning.
00:14:58 I'm at a different stage of my life.
00:15:00 I feel it necessary now to have
00:15:04 to feel I'm doing good in bringing
00:15:08 You're finding out who you are,
00:15:15 What are you thinking right now?
00:15:21 I think that this...
00:15:23 extremely wonderful sales pitch
00:15:26 about how you might be able to help
00:15:30 might possibly, I don't want
00:15:34 an intelligent ruse to see
00:15:37 You are absolutely and completely
00:15:42 - Really?
00:15:44 I don't believe it.
00:15:45 You're right.
00:15:47 If you're making me admit something,
00:15:50 And you did. You're partially right.
00:15:53 The thing is,
00:15:57 What I'm really interested in is...
00:15:58 can I be of use
00:16:02 to somebody who is on a journey?
00:16:05 I like to feel connected to people
00:16:09 And it fascinates me to take someone
00:16:14 and just starting out in life
00:16:18 That's lovely, if that's the intention.
00:16:22 because I'm looking for that in my life.
00:16:26 I'm not looking for mentors who are
00:16:30 Okay.
00:16:32 Great working relationship, yeah.
00:16:34 - We'll start next week?
00:16:38 I cannot believe I allowed...
00:16:41 you three to talk me into this.
00:16:45 You should be home
00:16:49 Instead you're getting all messed up
00:16:54 Can we talk about this later?
00:16:56 Okay, but I'm not introducing you
00:17:00 if you're not crisp and neat and clean.
00:17:41 I'm not going. Okay?
00:17:47 Are you okay?
00:17:50 - You're Lori Singer, right?
00:17:54 - I thought I knew you from somewhere.
00:17:58 Thank you.
00:17:59 I've enjoyed it.
00:18:01 Thank you.
00:18:03 Was that your boyfriend?
00:18:05 He's a friend of mine.
00:18:09 This is unbelievable.
00:18:15 Look, there's no way...
00:18:19 you're meeting Damon today.
00:18:23 Your feet and your knees...
00:18:28 are muddy.
00:18:33 Your clothes are wet.
00:18:36 I love the right cheek...
00:18:40 of your ass.
00:18:42 What about the left one?
00:18:51 It's good with your right cheek.
00:18:56 It's perfect.
00:19:01 So what do you do?
00:19:03 I'm just searching,
00:19:07 - Really?
00:19:08 I haven't quite figured it out yet.
00:19:12 Actually, I'm going to work
00:19:16 - You are?
00:19:17 - He's great.
00:19:18 That's cool.
00:19:21 Just spoken with him about a number
00:19:25 - Nice.
00:19:26 Fun, fun. So you're still doing films?
00:19:30 Yes. And I've got a couple of concerts
00:19:33 - Concerts?
00:19:35 What kind of concerts?
00:19:36 - I play cello.
00:19:37 - Come on, let's go.
00:19:39 - I'm sorry.
00:19:40 - Nice to meet you.
00:19:43 Thank you.
00:20:50 What are you looking at?
00:20:52 What?
00:20:53 What are you looking at?
00:20:55 What am I looking at?
00:20:57 You were looking at that girl.
00:20:59 I'm not. I'm looking at
00:21:01 There are no squirrels.
00:21:33 Why can't you let us come
00:21:36 'Cause you're sweaty
00:21:38 I'll make it tomorrow.
00:21:40 I think we look great.
00:21:58 Yeah, Ford Welles.
00:22:02 Damon and Biggs were going to meet me
00:22:06 I left three messages in the last hour.
00:22:12 Ford. F-O-R-D. Hold on.
00:22:25 This Damon's car?
00:22:38 - What's going on, fellows?
00:22:42 Nice ride.
00:22:43 - You were gonna let him get in?
00:22:46 - Ford Welles. How's it going?
00:22:49 Can I call you right back?
00:22:50 - Ford Welles. Nice to meet you.
00:22:53 I was worried
00:22:56 What are you talking about? You want
00:22:59 - No, 11:00. Ford Welles.
00:23:02 Ashley set up a meeting with me
00:23:05 I got a meeting here,
00:23:07 She told me we would meet here
00:23:31 Hello.
00:23:34 - Hello.
00:23:36 Hey, Mom.
00:23:37 Did all the furniture arrive yet?
00:23:39 No, but they delivered the bed.
00:23:42 I hope it's a firm, hard mattress.
00:23:44 - It's great.
00:23:48 Yeah, really hard and really firm.
00:23:51 A firm, hard mattress
00:23:54 - Hang on.
00:23:56 Hello.
00:23:57 - Hey, Vera. What's up?

00:24:14 Sorry, Mom. How's Dad?
00:24:17 - I got a stable full of beautiful girls.
00:24:20 - I'm not a pimp. I'm a friend of theirs.
00:24:27 You got a show going on?
00:24:29 Seriously though, you have not seen
00:24:32 I'm talking about models
00:24:34 One of them was in Vanity Fair.
00:24:38 I'm involved.
00:24:41 I'm just gonna explain something
00:24:43 These other people that do that.
00:24:46 One of them raps.
00:24:49 Hey, mama.
00:24:52 What are you doing?
00:24:54 Capturing your radiance.
00:24:56 Great. Is this a new hobby?
00:24:59 I'll make it one.
00:25:03 - You're hot.
00:25:06 You're hot!
00:25:09 - Stop.
00:25:11 - You're making me feel uncomfortable.
00:25:17 So, we can have some lunch?
00:25:19 Yes, we're going to have some lunch.
00:25:21 Okay, put the camera down.
00:25:24 You're hot. Say it.
00:25:26 - Stop, Vera.
00:25:28 - Yes.
00:25:30 I don't want to be filmed.
00:25:32 Don't hide from me.

00:25:43 Yes.
00:25:45 Good.
00:27:09 Listen, if you want to stop by,

00:29:17 but the place seems a bit high,
00:29:19 I'm not worried about the money.
00:29:20 I'm not so sure I want to be on display
00:29:26 The Coleman deal is heating up.
00:29:30 I'm sure the stock will be able to

00:30:12 I got Bach, the Beethoven Emperor

00:30:18 Mostly. They didn't have
00:30:21 If I asked you for a Mercedes, would
00:30:26 Of course not.
00:30:27 If I ask you to get a Gould recording,
00:30:32 Give the others to a musical illiterate
00:30:36 and find me the Gould.
00:30:38 Yes, sir.
00:30:39 Pronto.

00:30:59 Count, Richard Turley...
00:31:00 an influential journalist wants to do
00:31:04 What kind of magazine?
00:31:05 I don't know. He's a freelance writer,
00:31:10 What's his angle?
00:31:11 He's a respectful admirer
00:31:15 Does he? What are my politics?
00:31:20 What do you want me to tell him?
00:31:21 Meet him. Make him understand I want
00:31:27 Count. Forgive my rushing in,
00:31:32 - and I was afraid I'd miss my chance-

00:31:38 the entertainment company I'm putting
00:31:42 I have these three
00:31:45 Very highbrow. All beautiful.
00:31:47 Unbelievably talented. Global appeal.
00:31:51 Like a higher breed,
00:31:54 - Not the kind of thing you usually-
00:31:57 Sorry. Kendria,
00:31:59 You told me to meet you.
00:32:00 I said I have a meeting. You're
00:32:04 - Gentlemen. How are you?
00:32:06 - Good to see you.
00:32:07 The Count's running behind. He's only
00:32:11 Wait in the restaurant. The Count
00:32:15 A count! For real! Oh, my God!
00:32:18 - This is not the time or place.
00:32:20 - This is an important meeting.
00:32:22 Different style from what I was talking
00:32:27 Get you naked, can't wait to taste it
00:32:30 This is not... The others are...
00:32:32 Don't talk about blowjob rap in front of
00:32:39 Sorry.
00:32:42 - He has my number.
00:32:45 I'll meet you at the restaurant.
00:32:52 I'm very pressed for time. I thought
00:32:56 I operate in secret, so I won't be
00:33:00 until we resolve the matter that we
00:33:04 which, frankly, is the reason
00:33:07 I understand fully.
00:33:09 So are you going to introduce me
00:33:13 - I am. I absolutely am.
00:33:16 As soon as I...
00:33:17 You haven't even mentioned it?
00:33:19 I have. We've discussed it extensively.
00:33:22 She read all the articles I gave her.
00:33:25 She said you were elegant and stylish
00:33:30 Did he speak to the senator?
00:33:31 He had me speak to the senator.
00:33:35 economically and politically
00:33:37 Did you get anything on paper?
00:33:39 Nothing on paper in a real way.
00:33:42 Are you happy with that?
00:33:45 Well, if I can't count on the Count,
00:33:48 My sentiments exactly.
00:33:49 You showed her the spread in GQ?
00:33:52 She flipped. She went nuts.
00:33:54 She said you wear clothes as if
00:33:57 So what's the delay? Is there
00:34:01 Or a personal resistance?
00:34:03 No. None at all. No way.
00:34:06 If it were, I would understand.
00:34:09 Absolutely.
00:34:11 When will you do this? I'll be in Rome
00:34:16 I won't be back for two weeks.
00:34:18 I am with you fully and completely.
00:34:20 When?
00:34:23 Now.
00:34:24 Now? Meaning?
00:34:27 Now.
00:34:37 It's open.
00:34:40 - Hey, angel.
00:34:45 Shit.
00:34:47 This place is shaping up.
00:34:50 You rich little daddy's girl.
00:34:52 What the fuck are you doing?
00:34:55 How dare you provoke me like this.
00:35:05 - How are you?
00:35:07 Nice bed.
00:35:11 Firm and hard, just like you like it.
00:35:14 - That's what I said to my mother.
00:35:17 My place is good, huh?
00:35:19 Once everything's unpacked and the
00:35:24 I am sure it is.
00:35:29 I am going to whack you.
00:35:31 Where is your sense of humor?
00:35:32 Bend over and I'll look for it.
00:35:35 - Bend over?
00:35:37 Bend over?
00:35:46 I saw this really interesting film
00:35:50 Did you? What was it called?
00:35:52 I don't remember the name.
00:35:56 It was about this billionaire...
00:35:58 who pays $1 million
00:36:01 and the husband actually facilitates
00:36:06 How is that interesting?
00:36:09 It leads to some intriguing questions.
00:36:14 the fundamental existential question...
00:36:16 we all have to face
00:36:19 Namely, what am I capable of doing?
00:36:22 Are you speaking sexually?
00:36:24 Sexually and every other respect.
00:36:27 Let's stick with sexually for now.
00:36:31 who I am, I need to find out whether
00:36:36 That's not what I'm saying.
00:36:40 That's the last thing on my mind.
00:36:42 Yeah, the last. The absolute last.
00:36:44 That's a figure of speech.
00:36:48 - Indecent or otherwise.
00:36:51 Conscious or unconscious.
00:36:52 - That's right.
00:36:55 Bring what up?
00:36:56 The movie. Stop toying with me.
00:36:59 - I'm not toying with you.
00:37:02 Now that you mention it.
00:37:04 Now that I mention it?
00:37:06 Now that you mention it...
00:37:09 I did happen to have, coincidentally...
00:37:12 a conversation totally unrelated
00:37:16 with Count Tommaso Lupo.
00:37:18 Count Tommaso Lupo?
00:37:20 The Italian media mogul. Yes.
00:37:22 Yes, I know who he is. So?
00:37:24 What do you mean, so?
00:37:26 So where is this going?
00:37:29 I've been working for him recently.
00:37:33 Of what, women?
00:37:34 Antique cars, rare manuscripts,
00:37:37 Drugs?
00:37:39 He's one of the most legitimate men
00:37:43 Coincidentally.
00:37:44 - Coincidentally?
00:37:46 Right. So the Count saw me
00:37:50 of the Metropolitan Museum after
00:37:53 What's so coincidental about that?
00:37:55 Because he'd seen you before
00:38:00 a year ago, when you were returning
00:38:03 And here you were again,
00:38:06 How coincidental.
00:38:07 - Smitten.
00:38:09 That's the word he used.
00:38:12 Fascinating.
00:38:13 - That's my point.
00:38:17 Leading up to
00:38:20 I didn't make any proposal.
00:38:21 No, but you discussed me with him.
00:38:23 Yes.
00:38:25 And money came up
00:38:27 Money always comes up in discussions
00:38:29 - Did he say he wanted to meet me?
00:38:32 And what did you say?
00:38:33 I said I was sure you'd be fascinated
00:38:37 And you'd enjoy exposing yourself
00:38:42 Is that the phrase you used,
00:38:44 That's not the point.
00:38:48 he said he would like to give you,
00:38:53 for your loveliness, $100,000.
00:38:56 Which I assume you assume
00:39:01 - I hadn't thought that far ahead.
00:39:05 Well, if you force me to think about it...
00:39:07 I'd probably say since you're
00:39:11 and I'm just getting started,
00:39:14 That's not the point. Anybody can get
00:39:18 That's not what I'm about here.
00:39:23 I'm a conduit. I'm a circuit.
00:39:28 My whole mission
00:39:30 in relation to you,
00:39:32 You know that.
00:39:36 You have major erotic power.
00:39:38 The easiest thing,
00:39:41 would be to convince you
00:39:45 That'd suffocate you and be ignoble
00:39:50 I refuse to hustle. I want to lead you
00:39:55 D.H. Lawrence.
00:39:58 To say nothing of
00:40:01 It's the path of the Bible. "Seek,
00:40:06 You are so ready right now
00:40:08 to discover your capacity
00:40:11 Multiple in the sense of at least a few,
00:40:16 but sequentially.
00:40:17 I'm getting ahead of myself here,
00:40:20 since you're
00:40:22 but at some point, you're gonna
00:40:25 and enjoy them.
00:40:29 You're just oblivious to it.
00:40:30 But that's down the road.
00:40:33 - All I ask is that you meet the Count.
00:40:39 Really?
00:40:40 It's what you want, isn't it?
00:40:44 Yeah.
00:40:48 I thought
00:40:51 I did. I do.
00:40:54 Who's stopping you?
00:43:35 You know what I love about
00:43:38 24-hour concierge, surveillance
00:43:43 Know what I also love?
00:43:46 No one designs buildings like this
00:43:49 Of course no one designs buildings
00:43:53 I.M. Pei is not Stanford White,
00:43:57 You're saying with a straight face any
00:44:02 - No one even comes close.
00:44:04 Of course art is a competition.
00:44:07 I can't believe I'm married to
00:44:10 Having high standards makes me
00:44:15 You can drop that stuff
00:44:18 - I'm starved. I've got to get something.
00:44:21 That's fine. I don't know
00:44:23 Hey, you got the curtains up.
00:44:26 Yes, I did.
00:44:32 What are we on this planet for?
00:44:36 She's not a little girl, she's grown.
00:44:40 Thank you, Mom.
00:44:43 Hey, great mattress, pumpkin.
00:44:48 I thought we'd have a nice lunch.
00:44:51 I can't. The man I am trying to get
00:44:56 The professor from Columbia?
00:44:59 He's black, right?
00:45:01 No. What makes you think that?
00:45:06 Your mother said something
00:45:10 That's not what I said.
00:45:11 That's his book, Daddy,
00:45:13 Horror of Horrors.
00:45:15 I don't care. You know me.
00:45:19 I love black people.
00:45:22 Why don't we have lunch with him?
00:45:25 Dad, it's an interview. He's not going
00:45:31 Then your mother and I will wait here
00:45:36 No!
00:45:37 For Christ's sake, Victor!
00:45:39 She is trying to land a fucking job.
00:45:45 At least, honey, I'd like you to take this
00:45:50 and everything that we are trying
00:45:55 - Very funny, Daddy.
00:46:03 I'm going down to the car. I get sick
00:46:24 Come in.
00:46:26 You have to excuse the mess.
00:46:29 I'm supposed to be a man of the world,
00:46:32 I must confess
00:46:35 Well, relax. Make yourself at home...
00:46:37 as much as you can, considering...
00:46:40 What do you have?
00:46:42 I have wine, champagne,
00:46:46 I'm a thirsty girl.
00:46:48 - A glass of champagne sounds lovely.
00:47:16 Al nostro futuro.
00:47:25 I hope
00:47:29 of this first encounter...
00:47:31 don't make you feel too awkward.
00:47:34 No. Why? Do I seem awkward?
00:47:36 Quite the opposite. I was just...
00:47:40 It doesn't matter.
00:47:43 Tell me, did you have anything
00:47:47 About what?
00:47:48 Where to go. What to do.
00:47:51 a boat docked at the 79th Street Basin
00:47:55 and my plane and my pilot on hold
00:47:58 You overwhelm me.
00:48:00 You don't seem too overwhelmed.
00:48:02 You're right, I'm not. I'm impressed.
00:48:06 Actually, I'm not really impressed
00:48:11 Maybe I better quit while I am ahead.
00:48:12 No, I don't want you to quit.
00:48:18 So what should I call you?
00:48:23 How about Tommy?
00:48:25 Okay, Tommy.
00:48:27 Did any of those options
00:48:30 Boats, planes, cars?
00:48:33 Not really. You want to know why?
00:48:37 Rushing off with you right now,
00:48:41 although it might be a ball, to me
00:48:44 Evasion? Evasion of what?
00:48:49 - Of what's going on.
00:48:52 Between us.
00:48:54 What do you want with me,
00:48:56 You mean for you.
00:48:59 Okay, what would you like for me?
00:49:01 Novelty. Pleasure. Enrichment.
00:49:03 And where do you think
00:49:06 Running around or right here?
00:49:07 I see your point. Apart from being
00:49:11 Not girl. Grown woman.
00:49:12 My mother just straightened
00:49:15 - Oh, yes?
00:49:17 What does your father do?
00:49:18 He makes money.
00:49:21 - There's nothing wrong with that.
00:49:23 How, may I ask?
00:49:26 How does he make money?
00:49:28 A little of this, a little of that.
00:49:31 Communications.
00:49:33 Communications?
00:49:36 Yes. Why?
00:49:38 We're communicating right now.
00:49:41 That's okay. I make enough money
00:49:46 I'm curious. Ford told me
00:49:53 Passion?
00:49:55 Passion. My, my.
00:49:59 I hope you won't make light of it.
00:50:01 Not at all. I'm flattered and curious.
00:50:03 Can you tell me how you found
00:50:05 I mean, we haven't even spoken.
00:50:08 You know the story
00:50:10 the greatest poet in Italian history?
00:50:14 He was seized by her, riveted.
00:50:18 and romantically fixated from nothing
00:50:23 I have always been
00:50:25 When something or someone
00:50:30 What happened with you,
00:50:34 So in that sense it's not like Dante,
00:50:38 But there was,
00:50:44 Knowing me in the Biblical sense?
00:50:46 That's up to you.
00:50:50 Santa Claus, St. Francis,
00:50:54 You say that with a touch of sarcasm.
00:50:56 What else do you think
00:50:58 Want me to take a wild guess?
00:51:00 The wilder, the better.
00:51:02 Love. Sex. Romance.
00:51:06 Someone to make you feel young.
00:51:10 Are you married?
00:51:11 I've been married for 42 years.
00:51:13 42 years. Holy shit. How old are you?
00:51:16 Sixty-nine,
00:51:19 You look pretty good for 69.
00:51:21 Not the greatest compliment
00:51:25 I didn't mean to offend you.
00:51:28 You're saying that to be kind.
00:51:29 No, not really.
00:51:32 I once saw Picasso on film,
00:51:35 But then, Picasso was Picasso.
00:51:43 How much money do you have?
00:51:44 I'm not sure I follow that transition.
00:51:47 I tend to skip transitions.
00:51:50 I have no idea
00:51:52 $1 billion?
00:51:54 Depends on the day. It fluctuates.
00:51:56 Do you have a mistress?
00:51:57 As a matter of fact, I do. A cellist.
00:52:01 A lovely and gifted woman.
00:52:03 And how old is she?
00:52:05 Forty. Ancient.
00:52:07 My mother is 44.
00:52:10 May I ask you a question?
00:52:11 Why do you need my permission
00:52:14 I will only ask it, if you'll answer
00:52:20 Do I seem fearful
00:52:23 Are you glad that I'm here...
00:52:24 or would you prefer that I leave and
00:52:32 I'm still curious.
00:52:34 What if I had no money? What if
00:52:38 Aren't you too old to be
00:52:40 Let's say
00:52:42 You wouldn't be you
00:52:44 You'd be you, minus $1 billion.
00:52:48 Is it important to you to have
00:52:50 No, not really.
00:52:52 I'm more interested in the idea
00:52:55 What they'll do to get it.
00:52:59 Ford, for example,
00:53:01 He's a desperate, ambitious,
00:53:05 Why are you with him?
00:53:07 Why do you ask?
00:53:08 That he's too young?
00:53:11 That I need to find myself a good
00:53:17 I'm sorry, that wasn't nice.
00:53:21 All you're trying to do is please me.
00:53:24 What an ingrate.
00:53:26 You're not giving me a hard time,
00:53:29 Why am I with Ford?
00:53:32 I don't know.
00:53:36 You answer
00:53:38 it never sounds true,
00:53:40 You knew that. You've been around
00:53:43 He is incredibly beautiful...
00:53:46 and he's a great lover.
00:53:48 And he's funny and smart.
00:53:52 And he would kill for me
00:53:54 Who would you want killed?
00:53:59 You never know. When I get angry,
00:54:05 How much money do you have
00:54:07 About $10,000.
00:54:11 Apart from this.
00:54:15 What's that?
00:54:16 $100,000.
00:54:18 - What for?
00:54:21 To do what with?
00:54:22 Whatever you like. It's yours.
00:54:24 I get that part.
00:54:26 The purpose?
00:54:30 I thought Ford had spoken to you.
00:54:34 Embarrassing me?
00:54:35 If I were you, I'd be worried
00:54:38 It's not enough?
00:54:40 How would I know if it's enough
00:54:44 For a really nice dinner, absolutely.
00:54:47 Maybe even 10 dinners, 20.
00:54:49 Twenty maybe even,
00:54:53 But for something else, I don't know.
00:54:56 I told you, to make you happy.
00:55:00 Yeah, so you say.
00:55:04 Unfortunately, you'd come up a bit
00:55:10 How much more might I need to...
00:55:13 come up...
00:55:14 aumentare...
00:55:17 long enough for your satisfaction?
00:55:19 I don't know.
00:55:22 Why don't you run out for a while
00:55:27 - Are we talking all cash?
00:56:42 Would $1 million interest you?
00:57:00 What's your rush?
00:59:58 There's no way to verify
01:00:00 I'm asking is there any way to verify
01:00:04 Well, find out. I'll talk to you later.
01:00:18 Vera.
01:00:20 Hey, what's going on? Vera!
01:00:25 Hey!
01:00:27 What's the matter?
01:00:30 Don't touch me!
01:00:32 - I never want to see you again.
01:00:35 - Fucking prick!
01:00:37 I can fix it, but I can't do anything
01:00:40 The only thing gone wrong
01:00:42 the only way you could fix it
01:00:45 What happened? Did he hurt you?
01:00:46 No, he didn't hurt me.
01:00:49 He did something to you,
01:00:52 Get away from me
01:00:54 I will, just tell me one thing.
01:00:56 Yeah, he did
01:00:59 Okay. So where's the money?
01:01:01 - What money?
01:01:03 The $100,000?
01:01:05 How about the $1,000?
01:01:07 I don't follow.
01:01:09 No, of course you don't.
01:01:10 That's why we're having
01:01:12 you are who you are, you'll always be.
01:01:14 The richest man in Italy.
01:01:17 That's what he is.
01:01:18 That's not what he is.
01:01:20 A fraud, how? What did he do?
01:01:22 It's not what he did.
01:01:25 - He fucked you and didn't pay you?
01:01:28 I'm trying to get away from you!
01:01:30 Why didn't you get the money
01:01:33 Don't you dare blame me for this!
01:01:36 You promoted him
01:01:39 What am I supposed to be...
01:01:40 some streetwalker,
01:01:43 Listen, this is a serious problem.
01:01:45 Go back to the apartment,
01:01:47 I'm going to drag this cocksucker
01:01:50 and make him personally beg you
01:01:57 The Count excuses himself for being
01:02:01 He's just been delayed.
01:02:03 There has been an emergency
01:02:07 The Count is now busy meeting
01:02:11 It's very important.
01:02:15 Perhaps we can take the chance
01:02:19 about the Count
01:02:21 Absolutely.
01:02:24 This is Ford Welles.
01:02:26 The Count asked for a favor,
01:02:28 Do you know where I could reach him?
01:02:30 Which marina?
01:03:04 The Count will be absolutely delighted
01:03:07 Americans are very curious
01:03:09 He is the most mysterious man in Italy,
01:03:12 Nobody knows anything.
01:03:15 He's mysterious
01:03:17 He never gives interviews.
01:03:21 Our readers want to know
01:03:25 Why is he going to the White House?
01:03:31 He doesn't really know anything.
01:03:32 But what is he doing in China
01:03:35 He's amplifying his horizons.
01:03:40 Of course the Count will need
01:03:43 I always give that assurance
01:03:49 Is it true that he's actually
01:04:24 He's very busy. He comes very quickly.
01:04:29 He apologizes for the Count.
01:04:33 This is an emergency.
01:04:34 How long will he be
01:04:36 We're going to need a lot of time
01:04:40 and the corporation
01:04:53 He said we should be able to do
01:04:57 Doesn't he own
01:05:35 Is he an intermediary for the Vatican?
01:05:41 He would rather not answer questions
01:05:44 He's not authorized,
01:05:47 - The Count.
01:06:02 Michael Burke, the tax lieutenant.
01:06:04 Nice to meet you, sir.
01:06:15 - I notice you're looking at the boat.
01:06:18 - You like it? Here.
01:06:19 - This is yours.
01:06:21 For all the good work you've done.
01:06:23 The Count is a very generous man.
01:06:26 Lupo!
01:06:29 Where's my $100,000?
01:06:32 Take it easy! Take it easy!
01:06:35 Hold it! You want to talk?
01:06:36 Where's my $100,000?
01:06:37 Come with me, calm down, we'll talk.
01:06:40 - You understand?
01:06:42 Just a minor misunderstanding.
01:06:46 I want my $100,000.
01:06:48 That's between you and Vera.
01:06:49 Don't play dumb, you prick.
01:06:52 You didn't give her a dime.
01:06:54 I gave Vera $1 million in cash.
01:06:58 You gave Vera $1 million?
01:07:03 I want you to come right now
01:07:05 and tell me in front of her
01:07:31 - Hello.
01:07:33 Hey, Dad.
01:07:34 How about dinner tonight
01:07:37 No, I don't think I can tonight.
01:07:39 How about tomorrow?
01:07:41 - Can you hang on a second?
01:07:44 Hello.
01:07:46 I'm downstairs.
01:07:48 I'll leave it open.
01:07:50 Dad, that was my new boss.
01:07:52 Oh, yeah, you found a boss.
01:07:55 What're you banking?
01:07:56 We'll talk about it tomorrow.
01:07:58 - Okay.
01:08:56 I don't feel like kissing you right now.
01:09:02 Are you sure that there are no details
01:09:06 about what happened
01:09:08 Nothing you want to add or subtract?
01:09:11 There is nothing I want to add
01:09:24 Now you say that this guy...
01:09:27 after you allow him
01:09:30 refused to show
01:09:33 And you say you gave my girlfriend...
01:09:37 $1 million in cash.
01:09:38 Am I right so far?
01:09:41 You are right in saying
01:09:44 As I made clear to her...
01:09:45 it had nothing to do with anything else
01:09:49 It was a gift.
01:09:51 Purely by an act
01:09:57 - Well?
01:10:00 What do you have to say
01:10:05 He's lying.
01:10:07 - Why are you doing this?
01:10:10 Standing up for my rights?
01:10:14 I think the best thing for everybody,
01:10:18 is for you to pay her $100,000,
01:10:20 to pay me as her designated agent...
01:10:22 the $100,000 you owe her,
01:10:25 I gave Vera $1 million.
01:10:26 I'm not giving her another cent, which
01:10:30 You told me you felt certain things
01:10:33 That we had an understanding
01:10:36 and that we would give each other
01:10:42 That sounds just like me, doesn't it?
01:10:46 "The sexual pleasure we gave to one
01:10:50 I'd love to hear that in a court of law.
01:10:54 I might as well just stand next to you
01:10:58 You can say anything you like now.
01:11:01 But nothing can change
01:11:05 I think this little escapade
01:11:09 I am sorry that it had to come to this.
01:11:10 I was ready to look to you
01:11:13 I was ready to do jobs for you,
01:11:17 to bring a little youth and fun and light
01:11:20 in exchange for few simple favors...
01:11:22 and some cash
01:11:24 But you turned out to be
01:11:27 And I have no respect
01:11:29 and I want
01:11:50 Lupo!
01:11:53 Lupo, can you hear me?
01:11:56 Fuck!
01:12:00 Lupo, wake up!
01:12:05 Shit!
01:12:13 Yes, I'm calling
01:12:17 I need to report a homicide.
01:12:18 Homicide?
01:12:20 - It was an accident.
01:12:22 It wasn't a homicide!
01:12:24 Hello.
01:12:38 The Count is a major figure in Italy.
01:12:40 This is fucking crazy.
01:12:42 Why am I in handcuffs right now?
01:12:45 An old guy fell down. That's it.
01:12:53 Ask Vera. Ask her. It was an accident.
01:12:58 Death by a blunt trauma to the head.
01:13:01 It was an accident. He fell.
01:13:04 You got anything else?
01:13:05 I got a witness, girlfriend.
01:13:08 Saw me do it? It was an accident.
01:13:11 I'm innocent. This is crazy.
01:13:14 She doesn't know what she's saying.
01:13:15 Looks like you got it under control.
01:13:17 - I do.
01:13:18 This is crazy. He fell and hit his head.
01:13:22 Why am I arrested?
01:13:24 If I were a killer,
01:13:26 I stayed to clear my name.
01:13:28 That's not what she said.
01:13:29 Anything she says otherwise
01:13:32 Look at her.
01:13:34 He tripped. He fell. He hit his head.
01:13:37 It was a totally natural,
01:13:40 Detective, look,
01:13:43 that you know your job,
01:13:45 Do I look like a killer to you?
01:13:47 Nothing you say can help you now.
01:13:49 We're going to take you downtown.
01:13:50 Get an attorney, you talk to him.
01:13:52 This is crazy, I'm in handcuffs.
01:13:54 You're taking me downtown.
01:13:56 I was here when she dialed 911.
01:13:57 If I had killed him,
01:13:59 I stayed so I could clear my name.
01:14:01 I could be on my way
01:14:04 I've never hurt anybody in my life.
01:14:07 - Let's go.
01:14:09 I've never been arrested in my life.
01:14:11 You have now, pal.
01:14:12 This is crazy! Vera, tell them! Don't let
01:14:16 I'm innocent! Vera! I'm innocent!
01:14:19 I didn't do anything!
01:14:20 Vera, tell them!
01:14:46 Hi, Mom.
01:14:51 Not good, actually.
01:14:55 Yeah. Is Dad there?
01:15:01 I am going to come over
01:15:06 No.
01:15:08 No, I'm going to take a shower
01:15:11 I would rather tell you
01:15:16 Okay.
01:15:18 I love you, too.
