( tool clicking ) |
| 00:00:43 |
Excuse me, sir? |
| 00:00:45 |
She's not coming. |
| 00:00:47 |
And l've made everything perfect. |
| 00:00:49 |
White tea from China, |
| 00:00:51 |
Scottish shortbread, |
| 00:00:55 |
and l just know |
| 00:00:57 |
- Sir? |
| 00:01:00 |
A car, l believe, |
| 00:01:26 |
Daisy. |
| 00:01:27 |
I've waited |
| 00:01:31 |
l've never stopped loving you, |
| 00:01:33 |
dreaming of you. |
| 00:01:35 |
Woman: |
| 00:01:38 |
l know. |
| 00:01:42 |
- ( gasps ) |
| 00:01:47 |
Man on PA: |
| 00:01:48 |
has been relocated |
| 00:01:59 |
( girl chuckles ) |
| 00:02:01 |
But why did Fitzgerald |
| 00:02:03 |
make Nick Carraway so dull? |
| 00:02:05 |
What's the point of having |
| 00:02:08 |
l think it was a bad choice. |
| 00:02:10 |
Well, Carraway is like a camera. |
| 00:02:13 |
He's fascinated by Gatsby, |
| 00:02:16 |
so he wants |
| 00:02:19 |
Look, in a way, the book is kind |
| 00:02:21 |
of a love letter to Gatsby. |
| 00:02:23 |
- Love letter? |
| 00:02:25 |
- l guess. |
| 00:02:27 |
Excuse-- |
| 00:02:36 |
l have some business |
| 00:02:37 |
to attend to |
| 00:02:40 |
so we can talk about this again |
| 00:02:42 |
next week before class. |
| 00:02:44 |
Sure. |
| 00:02:47 |
Finally some real tennis weather. |
| 00:02:50 |
Good afternoon. |
| 00:02:57 |
Oh! |
| 00:03:07 |
Narrator: |
| 00:03:09 |
must live in constant negotiation. |
| 00:03:14 |
Louis lves had been determined |
| 00:03:16 |
to continue his day |
| 00:03:19 |
But that goal |
| 00:03:21 |
now seemed |
| 00:03:30 |
( gasping ) Oh! |
| 00:03:33 |
lt was in Miss Jeffries' bag. |
| 00:03:39 |
l'm sure you're aware |
| 00:03:41 |
did not meet |
| 00:03:43 |
As a resuIt, |
| 00:03:45 |
l understand. |
| 00:03:46 |
You have been |
| 00:03:49 |
ln light of this, |
| 00:03:52 |
we're wiIIing |
| 00:03:53 |
for positions elsewhere. |
| 00:03:55 |
Thank you. |
| 00:03:58 |
Actually, for some time now |
| 00:04:00 |
l've considered moving |
| 00:04:02 |
It's aIways been my dream |
| 00:04:05 |
Perhaps now would be a good time |
| 00:04:08 |
for a big change like that. |
| 00:04:10 |
Yes, Louis. |
| 00:04:12 |
sounds like a very fitting place |
| 00:04:14 |
for a young man... |
| 00:04:21 |
Narrator: |
| 00:04:23 |
Louis lves had no courage |
| 00:04:28 |
For the brassiere incident |
| 00:04:31 |
- He struggled to deny these strange urges... |
| 00:04:35 |
...but in moments of weakness |
| 00:04:37 |
they demanded attention. |
| 00:04:41 |
And so he spent an entire summer |
| 00:04:43 |
immersed in the solitary routines |
| 00:04:46 |
of a young gentleman. |
| 00:04:47 |
He wore these rituals like armor |
| 00:04:50 |
to shield him from despair. |
| 00:04:53 |
But in Louis lves' darkest moments, |
| 00:04:57 |
he feared he was unlovable. |
| 00:05:02 |
lt was the changing of leaves |
| 00:05:04 |
that finaIIy brought |
| 00:05:07 |
For Fall, |
| 00:05:08 |
with its brisk air and clarity of light, |
| 00:05:11 |
rekindled the feeling of possibility. |
| 00:05:28 |
( phone ringing ) |
| 00:05:31 |
Man on phone: |
| 00:05:33 |
- Hello. |
| 00:05:35 |
Yes, l'm calling about the room? |
| 00:05:39 |
Man: |
| 00:05:42 |
- Apartment 2F. |
| 00:05:49 |
2F. 2F, 2F, 2F. |
| 00:05:58 |
( buzzes ) |
| 00:06:05 |
- Man: Are you the applicant? |
| 00:06:08 |
Yes, it's me. |
| 00:06:10 |
( door buzzes ) |
| 00:06:25 |
Harrison, Henry. |
| 00:06:26 |
- Henry Harrison. |
| 00:06:29 |
Louis lves. |
| 00:06:32 |
Kitchen. Bath. |
| 00:06:34 |
( clears throat ) |
| 00:06:35 |
but these provide adequate privacy. |
| 00:06:37 |
- Whoops. |
| 00:06:40 |
These would be your chambers. |
| 00:06:41 |
lt's barracks-style living, |
| 00:06:46 |
You can certainly hear the pigeons. |
| 00:06:48 |
Yes, l like to have |
| 00:06:51 |
If you need |
| 00:06:52 |
have some empty file cabinets |
| 00:06:55 |
Okay. |
| 00:06:57 |
So there are a few things |
| 00:07:00 |
if you haven't lost interest. |
| 00:07:01 |
WouId you prefer |
| 00:07:08 |
Name? |
| 00:07:11 |
Louis lves. |
| 00:07:16 |
Those Christmas balls |
| 00:07:19 |
l love them. |
| 00:07:20 |
l love their colors, |
| 00:07:22 |
the way they catch the light. |
| 00:07:24 |
If you ever want |
| 00:07:26 |
you can give me Christmas balls. |
| 00:07:28 |
- Okay. |
| 00:07:31 |
Louis Ives, |
| 00:07:35 |
( cIears throat ) |
| 00:07:38 |
You won't find yourself |
| 00:07:39 |
lf l had to move anywhere, |
| 00:07:42 |
Far less expensive. |
| 00:07:43 |
Well, l've been teaching |
| 00:07:46 |
so as far as the rent |
| 00:07:48 |
I've saved enough |
| 00:07:51 |
Princeton?! |
| 00:07:52 |
How is Princeton |
| 00:07:55 |
lt was great once, |
| 00:07:58 |
Oh, you mean the University. |
| 00:08:00 |
lt's still excellent. |
| 00:08:03 |
And there's no reason women |
| 00:08:05 |
l'm against |
| 00:08:08 |
( laughs ) |
| 00:08:09 |
lt dulls their senses |
| 00:08:11 |
and affects their performance |
| 00:08:13 |
The women l like best |
| 00:08:16 |
They really get it. |
| 00:08:17 |
What were you teaching? |
| 00:08:20 |
English Literature. |
| 00:08:21 |
We're colleagues then. |
| 00:08:23 |
- l teach composition at Queens College. |
| 00:08:25 |
Primarily, |
| 00:08:27 |
Really? |
| 00:08:30 |
Sadly my great opus was stolen |
| 00:08:34 |
but that's all too tragic |
| 00:08:37 |
You know, Fitzgerald wrote |
| 00:08:39 |
about Princeton |
| 00:08:42 |
Do you like Fitzgerald? |
| 00:08:44 |
He's one |
| 00:08:46 |
Of course l like Fitzgerald. |
| 00:08:48 |
But there won't be anymore |
| 00:08:51 |
You need |
| 00:08:53 |
to shape up a young writer. |
| 00:08:55 |
The Muslims might produce |
| 00:08:57 |
They're very good |
| 00:09:00 |
On the subject of... |
| 00:09:02 |
the sexes, |
| 00:09:04 |
just out of curiosity, |
| 00:09:06 |
what is your policy regarding guests? |
| 00:09:10 |
As in... |
| 00:09:13 |
- Uh... |
| 00:09:16 |
No, absolutely not. |
| 00:09:18 |
No. No, this place |
| 00:09:21 |
There's to be no fornication! |
| 00:09:23 |
No, l wouldn't even conceive |
| 00:09:26 |
of having sex in here. |
| 00:09:29 |
I'm retired |
| 00:09:30 |
l didn't mean to be rude, |
| 00:09:32 |
This has gone on long enough. |
| 00:09:34 |
We're obviously compatible. |
| 00:09:36 |
who's come for the room |
| 00:09:38 |
So what will it be, yes or no? |
| 00:09:40 |
( grunts softly ) |
| 00:09:41 |
l would prefer to think about it. |
| 00:09:47 |
- ( ceII phone ringing ) |
| 00:09:54 |
- HeIIo? |
| 00:09:57 |
Oh, hello. |
| 00:09:59 |
Yes. Actually, l just was-- |
| 00:10:02 |
And? |
| 00:10:03 |
Well... |
| 00:10:06 |
l'm feeling... |
| 00:10:08 |
that l should wait |
| 00:10:11 |
No no. |
| 00:10:13 |
We should do this. |
| 00:10:14 |
You can pay by the week |
| 00:10:17 |
Plus there's much l can |
| 00:10:21 |
l can advance you socially. |
| 00:10:22 |
All this will be |
| 00:10:24 |
That's certainly very considerate |
| 00:10:28 |
Very good, then. |
| 00:10:30 |
on the first of the month. |
| 00:10:36 |
Narrator: |
| 00:10:38 |
that the decision |
| 00:10:40 |
Yet, it had been some time |
| 00:10:42 |
since he felt this wanted. |
| 00:10:44 |
And as strange as it all seemed, |
| 00:10:47 |
he was inexplicably drawn |
| 00:10:49 |
to this Mr. Henry Harrison. |
| 00:10:53 |
( pop music playing ) |
| 00:11:13 |
⪠Daylight turns to moonlight ⪠|
| 00:11:15 |
⪠And l'm at my best ⪠|
| 00:11:19 |
⪠Praising the way it all works ⪠|
| 00:11:23 |
⪠And gazing upon the rest, yeah ⪠|
| 00:11:26 |
⪠The cool before the warm, |
| 00:11:30 |
⪠The cooI before |
| 00:11:33 |
⪠l wish to stay forever ⪠|
| 00:11:36 |
⪠Letting this be my food-- ⪠|
| 00:11:39 |
( toilet flushing ) |
| 00:11:42 |
( Henry clears throat, |
| 00:11:47 |
( coughs, groans ) |
| 00:12:01 |
Tell me your name again. |
| 00:12:03 |
Louis. |
| 00:12:05 |
My name's Louis. |
| 00:12:06 |
Don't worry, |
| 00:12:08 |
l'm glad to see |
| 00:12:10 |
l apologize that Gershon |
| 00:12:14 |
He's not speaking to me. |
| 00:12:15 |
That's fine. |
| 00:12:17 |
He's a friend |
| 00:12:19 |
And fix my car. |
| 00:12:21 |
Speaking of which, l was admiring |
| 00:12:24 |
Oh, it's a Pontiac Grand Ville. |
| 00:12:27 |
lt was my father's. |
| 00:12:29 |
ln a weird way, it's sort of |
| 00:12:33 |
He died my freshman year |
| 00:12:35 |
My mother passed |
| 00:12:40 |
Well... |
| 00:12:43 |
l drive a Buick. |
| 00:12:44 |
- Hmm. |
| 00:12:47 |
Henry James. |
| 00:12:48 |
He's unreadable. |
| 00:12:49 |
His early work wasn't as bad. |
| 00:12:51 |
He burned himself, you know? |
| 00:12:53 |
He sat on a stove |
| 00:12:56 |
That may account |
| 00:13:00 |
l didn't know that. |
| 00:13:02 |
Yes. Well, you'd better |
| 00:13:04 |
l imagine you're still growing. |
| 00:13:13 |
( loud classical music playing ) |
| 00:13:15 |
( Henry grunting ) |
| 00:13:19 |
Yeah! |
| 00:13:24 |
( grunting continuing ) |
| 00:13:33 |
Ahhh. |
| 00:13:40 |
Ahh! |
| 00:13:41 |
Go! No! Go back! |
| 00:13:44 |
- Back to your room. |
| 00:13:45 |
l don't like you lurking |
| 00:13:47 |
l'm sorry, Henry! |
| 00:13:50 |
l can't be seen |
| 00:13:53 |
l forgot you were here. |
| 00:13:55 |
Next time l exercise, |
| 00:13:58 |
But sometimes |
| 00:14:00 |
- No problem. |
| 00:14:03 |
l try to move whatever |
| 00:14:13 |
l tell you, Louis, |
| 00:14:15 |
l'd like to hire you. |
| 00:14:17 |
For now it's gonna be |
| 00:14:20 |
to businesses and to museums. |
| 00:14:22 |
But it does go without saying-- |
| 00:14:24 |
this being an environmental journal-- |
| 00:14:26 |
you are green? |
| 00:14:28 |
You do Iive |
| 00:14:30 |
- Yes. Yes, of course. |
| 00:14:34 |
l'm very environmental. |
| 00:14:37 |
l'm always thinking |
| 00:14:39 |
about how the world |
| 00:14:42 |
And then l get depressed |
| 00:14:46 |
and l think about-- |
| 00:14:48 |
well, if l think about myself |
| 00:14:50 |
that's also depressing. |
| 00:14:51 |
- Good. |
| 00:14:54 |
- Yeah? |
| 00:14:56 |
but l need you to look |
| 00:14:59 |
so l can get them scanned. |
| 00:15:01 |
Okay. |
| 00:15:04 |
Oh, she's got nice feathers. |
| 00:15:07 |
But l like her eyes. |
| 00:15:10 |
- Great. |
| 00:15:12 |
That's an excellent owl photo. |
| 00:15:14 |
Mary, this is Louis. |
| 00:15:17 |
Louis is going |
| 00:15:19 |
- Nice to meet you. |
| 00:15:21 |
You didn't have to get up. |
| 00:15:23 |
I Iook forward |
| 00:15:26 |
And with you, George. |
| 00:15:27 |
- Thank you for taking me on. |
| 00:15:30 |
Let's get you filling out |
| 00:15:46 |
Come on. |
| 00:15:49 |
Cough it up. |
| 00:15:55 |
Oh, hey. |
| 00:15:57 |
Let me help you |
| 00:15:59 |
What service. |
| 00:16:02 |
You'd make |
| 00:16:05 |
Henry, maybe next time |
| 00:16:08 |
we should try and recycle |
| 00:16:11 |
Why? RecycIing is |
| 00:16:14 |
of this generation. |
| 00:16:16 |
most of whom deserve |
| 00:16:18 |
What the government should |
| 00:16:22 |
lf we could control that, |
| 00:16:24 |
we could solve anything. |
| 00:16:26 |
So you see sex |
| 00:16:28 |
as the cause of all |
| 00:16:30 |
AbsoIuteIy. You'II find |
| 00:16:33 |
on most of these issues. |
| 00:16:35 |
Well, anyway, |
| 00:16:37 |
if l may change the subject, |
| 00:16:39 |
you look very nice. |
| 00:16:42 |
Yes, l'm seeing |
| 00:16:44 |
the billionairess |
| 00:16:46 |
She phoned me about |
| 00:16:50 |
but the queen must be obeyed. |
| 00:16:52 |
- Wow, a billionairess. |
| 00:16:55 |
And to think |
| 00:16:58 |
was about to treat you to dinner. |
| 00:17:00 |
l had a banner day. |
| 00:17:03 |
Congratulations! |
| 00:17:05 |
l knew you were a man |
| 00:17:08 |
What type of position? |
| 00:17:09 |
- lt's at a magazine. |
| 00:17:11 |
An environmental journal. |
| 00:17:13 |
l'm sure it's all just a front |
| 00:17:16 |
- ( horn honks ) |
| 00:17:19 |
We must celebrate |
| 00:17:22 |
Tomorrow evening. |
| 00:17:23 |
l'll take you to the opera. |
| 00:17:25 |
l know a wonderful little company. |
| 00:17:27 |
My treat. |
| 00:17:29 |
Thank you, Herbert. |
| 00:17:31 |
Good night. |
| 00:17:45 |
- This way. |
| 00:17:46 |
Excuse me, l had my eye |
| 00:17:49 |
The doorman was watching |
| 00:17:51 |
Henry: Bloody hell, |
| 00:17:55 |
Oh, well. |
| 00:17:56 |
Are you sure about going |
| 00:17:58 |
l hear it's astronomically expensive. |
| 00:18:00 |
Don't-- don't be so middle-class. |
| 00:18:03 |
The aristocracy never pays. |
| 00:18:06 |
Here's my car. |
| 00:18:10 |
( humming ) |
| 00:18:14 |
- Maybe we should take a cab? |
| 00:18:18 |
l go everywhere in my Electra. |
| 00:18:20 |
l drive all around Manhattan |
| 00:18:22 |
looking for "it." |
| 00:18:23 |
I mean "it" |
| 00:18:26 |
Why do you have Florida plates? |
| 00:18:27 |
Because l live there part-time-- |
| 00:18:29 |
Palm Beach. |
| 00:18:31 |
That's where |
| 00:18:36 |
l can only afford one working door. |
| 00:18:38 |
Just close it tightly behind you. |
| 00:18:41 |
( singing ) |
| 00:18:43 |
Henry, Henry, Henry! |
| 00:18:44 |
- Please, be careful! |
| 00:18:46 |
You don't even have |
| 00:18:48 |
Don't be such a milquetoast. |
| 00:18:50 |
- "lf rape is imminent..." |
| 00:18:52 |
- "...relax and enjoy it!" |
| 00:18:54 |
Henry: AII right, |
| 00:18:57 |
The intermission is |
| 00:18:58 |
So when you see |
| 00:19:00 |
you simply say, |
| 00:19:02 |
Well, if you are, |
| 00:19:04 |
may I have your ticket |
| 00:19:07 |
Now, you have to get the re-entry stub. |
| 00:19:09 |
Without it, |
| 00:19:11 |
- Do you understand? |
| 00:19:15 |
Henry, Henry! |
| 00:19:17 |
Shh, shh. |
| 00:19:20 |
Well, one stub, |
| 00:19:22 |
Didn't I teII you |
| 00:19:25 |
Which part of that |
| 00:19:26 |
She onIy took one. |
| 00:19:29 |
- You didn't get anything. |
| 00:19:31 |
The point is without the re-entry stub |
| 00:19:32 |
the ticket is useless. |
| 00:19:34 |
- ( musicaI tones pIay ) |
| 00:19:36 |
Oh dear. Well, we're going |
| 00:19:40 |
All right. |
| 00:19:44 |
Here's a program. |
| 00:19:46 |
You go first, |
| 00:19:48 |
I'II be seniIe, |
| 00:19:49 |
We'll bluff our way in. Go. |
| 00:19:52 |
( singing ) |
| 00:19:57 |
Where is-- |
| 00:20:01 |
Did you take it? |
| 00:20:03 |
- No. |
| 00:20:05 |
No, you didn't, father! |
| 00:20:07 |
For heaven's sake, |
| 00:20:10 |
Did you check your pants? |
| 00:20:12 |
- l'm wearing them! |
| 00:20:14 |
Thank you. |
| 00:20:17 |
That's not bad. |
| 00:20:18 |
With a bit of direction from me, |
| 00:20:20 |
you couId Iand yourseIf |
| 00:20:22 |
Perhaps off Broadway. |
| 00:20:23 |
( singing in ltalian ) |
| 00:20:29 |
She's Russian, you know. |
| 00:20:31 |
Only Russia can still produce |
| 00:20:45 |
Henry: |
| 00:20:47 |
Where are we? |
| 00:20:51 |
Sorry? |
| 00:20:52 |
I Iike to say that |
| 00:20:58 |
l'm about to put in |
| 00:21:00 |
Any final thoughts, questions? |
| 00:21:03 |
Yes. Can we go |
| 00:21:06 |
Why not? |
| 00:21:08 |
Oh, Henry, one more thing. |
| 00:21:11 |
l never got to ask you, |
| 00:21:14 |
with the billionairess go? |
| 00:21:16 |
With Vivian? |
| 00:21:18 |
Except she stopped breathing |
| 00:21:20 |
But then she rallied. |
| 00:21:23 |
How old is she? |
| 00:21:25 |
She's 92. |
| 00:21:27 |
- 92?! |
| 00:21:29 |
That's a little old for a girlfriend, |
| 00:21:32 |
don't you think? |
| 00:21:34 |
UnfortunateIy, |
| 00:21:36 |
l'm just one |
| 00:21:39 |
For years now l've been |
| 00:21:41 |
but l could be on the outs |
| 00:21:43 |
Barry Barbarash wants |
| 00:21:47 |
He's scheming |
| 00:21:50 |
as the resident rosen knight. |
| 00:21:53 |
What's a "rosen knight"? |
| 00:21:54 |
lt's a knight who brings roses. |
| 00:21:56 |
A "Rosenkavalier." |
| 00:21:59 |
Henry... |
| 00:22:02 |
are you a gigolo? |
| 00:22:03 |
Don't be disgusting. |
| 00:22:05 |
l am an "extra man." |
| 00:22:06 |
Although l would argue |
| 00:22:10 |
l'm essential. |
| 00:22:11 |
Do these old ladies pay you? |
| 00:22:14 |
Of course not, |
| 00:22:15 |
a fine meal, |
| 00:22:18 |
vintage champagne... |
| 00:22:21 |
an orchestra perhaps. |
| 00:22:24 |
You see, |
| 00:22:27 |
so there's always a need |
| 00:22:29 |
for an extra man at the table. |
| 00:22:31 |
It maintains |
| 00:22:34 |
Boy-girl, boy-girl. |
| 00:22:36 |
But don't think for a moment |
| 00:22:38 |
that it's all champagne |
| 00:22:40 |
An extra man must be |
| 00:22:45 |
especially when dancing. |
| 00:22:47 |
That's why escorts are |
| 00:22:50 |
l, however, |
| 00:22:53 |
What l bring is |
| 00:22:56 |
wit, intelligence, |
| 00:22:59 |
an uncommon joie de vivre. |
| 00:23:02 |
l wish l had |
| 00:23:04 |
Then l could |
| 00:23:06 |
You're very young. |
| 00:23:08 |
But Vivian does have |
| 00:23:11 |
- She might like you. |
| 00:23:14 |
Are we having a conversation? |
| 00:23:16 |
Yes, l'd say so. |
| 00:23:19 |
Well, it has to stop. |
| 00:23:20 |
We shouId know as IittIe |
| 00:23:22 |
Good relationships |
| 00:23:25 |
Now good night. |
| 00:23:29 |
Good night, Henry. |
| 00:23:40 |
( clears throat ) |
| 00:23:43 |
Oh, hi. |
| 00:23:46 |
l see you're eating in today too. |
| 00:23:49 |
Yeah, l'm really behind. |
| 00:23:51 |
- What did you get? |
| 00:23:53 |
Ah, are you a vegetarian? |
| 00:23:57 |
- Vegan. |
| 00:23:58 |
l'm really active in animal rights. |
| 00:24:00 |
Oh, l wish l could be vegan, |
| 00:24:04 |
but l really like eggs. |
| 00:24:07 |
Although l do try to order |
| 00:24:10 |
- ( elevator bell rings ) |
| 00:24:14 |
- That's cooI. |
| 00:24:18 |
l'm pretty opera illiterate, |
| 00:24:20 |
WeII, maybe I couId |
| 00:24:23 |
l know how to get in for free. |
| 00:24:26 |
Or we could just go |
| 00:24:30 |
Maybe even this weekend? |
| 00:24:33 |
Thanks, Louis, |
| 00:24:35 |
but I'm going |
| 00:24:37 |
- Oh. |
| 00:24:38 |
of a cement plant on the Hudson. |
| 00:24:41 |
ActuaIIy, this guy |
| 00:24:45 |
Maybe you and l could grab |
| 00:24:49 |
- Okay? |
| 00:24:52 |
Thank you. |
| 00:25:06 |
Eww. |
| 00:25:07 |
l'm sorry. |
| 00:25:09 |
Sorry. |
| 00:25:11 |
- ( scoffs ) |

Narrator: |

co-existed within Louis lves. |
| 00:25:34 |
A sort of bipolar condition |
| 00:25:37 |
that wasn't mood-related |
| 00:25:40 |
but sex-related. |
| 00:25:43 |
On the one hand, |
| 00:25:44 |
he Ionged |
| 00:25:46 |
one who wears ties |
| 00:25:50 |
But sometimes he yearned |
| 00:25:54 |
and see a pretty girl. |
| 00:25:56 |
One filled |
| 00:25:59 |
smiling back at him. |
| 00:26:01 |
( doorbell buzzes ) |
| 00:26:02 |
For some reason, |
| 00:26:04 |
he beIieved |
| 00:26:05 |
might heIp him |
| 00:26:08 |
Oh... hello. |
| 00:26:12 |
Hello. |
| 00:26:13 |
Um, it's okay. |
| 00:26:15 |
If I'm too oId, |
| 00:26:18 |
No, no. |
| 00:26:20 |
More than fine, l mean. |
| 00:26:22 |
All right. |
| 00:26:24 |
Well, come on in then. |
| 00:26:29 |
So l'm Katherine, |
| 00:26:31 |
but you can call me |
| 00:26:34 |
What was your name again, |
| 00:26:35 |
George. |
| 00:26:39 |
All right, then we will |
| 00:26:42 |
unless you're not interested |
| 00:26:45 |
No, l am. |
| 00:26:48 |
Have you dressed up a lot? |
| 00:26:50 |
No, hardly at all. |
| 00:26:53 |
lt's weird. l don't really have |
| 00:26:54 |
anyone l can talk to about... |
| 00:26:56 |
this urge. |
| 00:26:58 |
- ( timer cIicking ) |
| 00:27:01 |
All right? |
| 00:27:03 |
You tell Miss Hart everything. |
| 00:27:06 |
Here, have a seat. |
| 00:27:08 |
Okay. |
| 00:27:09 |
Well, l think it all started |
| 00:27:15 |
when l was a little boy. |
| 00:27:17 |
l saw this cartoon |
| 00:27:20 |
where a duck wearing a tuxedo |
| 00:27:23 |
was transformed into a beautiful girl. |
| 00:27:26 |
Seeing that stirred something in me. |
| 00:27:41 |
Soon after, l discovered a book. |
| 00:27:45 |
I worried I might be Iike |
| 00:27:49 |
Over the years, |
| 00:27:52 |
And you're lonely. |
| 00:27:54 |
And you desire |
| 00:27:56 |
And you know what, |
| 00:27:58 |
that's as good a reason |
| 00:28:01 |
So let's get you |
| 00:28:06 |
( toilet flushes ) |
| 00:28:14 |
You look very nice. |
| 00:28:16 |
Okay. |
| 00:28:18 |
So the first thing we have to do |
| 00:28:23 |
is teach you to be feminine. |
| 00:28:27 |
First, you're gonna learn how to sit. |
| 00:28:28 |
Go ahead. |
| 00:28:33 |
No no no no. |
| 00:28:35 |
See how your foot is |
| 00:28:38 |
all tense |
| 00:28:40 |
A man's foot does that |
| 00:28:42 |
because they're always |
| 00:28:44 |
Try relaxing your foot down. |
| 00:28:46 |
Relax. Good. |
| 00:28:48 |
That indicates that |
| 00:28:51 |
- That's not what l'm after. |
| 00:28:54 |
it's rude! |
| 00:28:57 |
Maybe it's time for your spanking. |
| 00:28:59 |
- We don't have to do that. |
| 00:29:03 |
- Put yourself across my knee. |
| 00:29:06 |
- You bad boy! Talking back! |
| 00:29:09 |
Ow ow ow! |
| 00:29:10 |
Ow ow ow! |
| 00:29:13 |
Why?! |
| 00:29:15 |
Would you-- |
| 00:29:16 |
would you mind if l just kissed you? |
| 00:29:22 |
( scoffs ) |
| 00:29:25 |
You don't have to ask, sugar. |
| 00:29:29 |
You're paying. |
| 00:30:02 |
( timer bell rings ) |
| 00:30:09 |
Ow. |
| 00:30:21 |
You're later than usual. |
| 00:30:23 |
What?! Yes. |
| 00:30:28 |
Actually, l'm sort of seeing |
| 00:30:31 |
Oh, that sounds like a lie. |
| 00:30:34 |
But that's good. |
| 00:30:35 |
That shows that |
| 00:30:37 |
By the way, |
| 00:30:39 |
lt's disappeared mysteriously. |
| 00:30:41 |
- No. |
| 00:30:43 |
l can't sleep without it. |
| 00:30:44 |
By the way, |
| 00:30:48 |
Henry: Ohh... |
| 00:30:51 |
Oh, speaking of which, |
| 00:30:54 |
never answer the door. |
| 00:30:56 |
Okay. Who's Otto Bellman? |
| 00:31:00 |
Who, BeIIman? |
| 00:31:04 |
Oh. How long did he live here? |
| 00:31:07 |
Two years. |
| 00:31:09 |
At first it wasn't awful. |
| 00:31:11 |
He looked like |
| 00:31:14 |
Of course... |
| 00:31:19 |
You're putting the mail |
| 00:31:21 |
OnIy his Ietters. |
| 00:31:24 |
He's aIready heII-bent |
| 00:31:27 |
Why? |
| 00:31:29 |
- Because l kicked him out. |
| 00:31:32 |
For being a sexual deviant. |
| 00:31:34 |
Louis: Oh. |
| 00:31:35 |
He had one |
| 00:31:41 |
He's Swiss-- |
| 00:31:45 |
you know? |
| 00:31:47 |
Can you believe |
| 00:31:50 |
with Vivian Cudlip's granddaughter? |
| 00:31:52 |
And what is worse, |
| 00:31:54 |
he stole the only copy |
| 00:31:58 |
"Henry and Mary |
| 00:32:01 |
The degenerate is probably |
| 00:32:03 |
illegally in Zurich |
| 00:32:05 |
and make himself |
| 00:32:07 |
l think you're being unreasonable. |
| 00:32:09 |
You're the one always |
| 00:32:12 |
Most of them had all kinds |
| 00:32:15 |
That's irreIevant. |
| 00:32:18 |
Have you ever been married? |
| 00:32:19 |
No. |
| 00:32:21 |
Are you saying |
| 00:32:24 |
You'll get nothing out of me. |
| 00:32:28 |
And try thinking |
| 00:32:31 |
Think about defrosting |
| 00:32:34 |
to make room for more mail. |
| 00:32:36 |
That's what I do. |
| 00:32:39 |
l don't need any love. |
| 00:32:41 |
You're being dishonest. |
| 00:32:44 |
All l need is pleasure. |
| 00:32:46 |
Okay, so what |
| 00:32:51 |
l'd like to go back to Anapa. |
| 00:32:53 |
lt's a small town |
| 00:32:56 |
on the Black Sea in Russia. |
| 00:33:00 |
Vivian and I went there |
| 00:33:04 |
A bottle of champagne |
| 00:33:09 |
ln my mind's eye, |
| 00:33:11 |
that's where l think |

| 00:33:47 |
the oddness of life |

⪠Heard in the day ⪠|
| 00:33:59 |
⪠Lulled by the moonlight ⪠|

⪠Have all passed away. ⪠|
| 00:34:14 |
Henry, do you know that man? |
| 00:34:18 |
Henry: |
| 00:34:19 |
Oh, your friend |
| 00:34:22 |
Yes, and fixes my car. |
| 00:34:24 |
It's obvious |
| 00:34:27 |
He's always on that bike. |
| 00:34:28 |
Yes, he's cycling away |
| 00:34:31 |
Gershon was |
| 00:34:35 |
He used to bring prostitutes |
| 00:34:37 |
into his apartment, |
| 00:34:39 |
and they would steal things. |
| 00:34:40 |
He couldn't stop, |
| 00:34:42 |
l told him to develop |
| 00:34:44 |
like reading the dictionary |
| 00:34:47 |
and bicycle riding, |
| 00:34:48 |
which so far |
| 00:34:50 |
Of course, he's still |
| 00:34:53 |
lf your advice worked, |
| 00:34:55 |
then why isn't |
| 00:34:58 |
He cIaims that I don't |
| 00:35:01 |
that l am only using him |
| 00:35:04 |
Also, l think he was jealous |
| 00:35:06 |
with your predecessor |
| 00:35:08 |
You have a strange power |
| 00:35:13 |
lt's my constant disapproval. |
| 00:35:16 |
Some find it fatherly. |
| 00:35:18 |
No! Enough! |
| 00:35:21 |
l think it's silly you made us sit |
| 00:35:24 |
at separate tables like this. |
| 00:35:25 |
Men of any worth |
| 00:35:28 |
lf you ever want |
| 00:35:30 |
you have much to Iearn |
| 00:35:33 |
Which reminds me, what are |
| 00:35:36 |
Nothing. Why? |
| 00:35:38 |
I have two Iady friends |
| 00:35:42 |
Vivian Cudlip and her niece? |
| 00:35:44 |
No, but almost as important. |
| 00:35:46 |
Would this officially |
| 00:35:50 |
Extra, yes. |
| 00:35:53 |
( French music playing ) |
| 00:36:03 |
Henry, what are you doing? |
| 00:36:04 |
l forgot to buy socks. |
| 00:36:06 |
Mine are all |
| 00:36:08 |
Don't worry, |
| 00:36:11 |
Who knows, |
| 00:36:16 |
Fleas? |
| 00:36:17 |
Yes. Fleas. |
| 00:36:19 |
My dermatologist |
| 00:36:23 |
Henry: |
| 00:36:24 |
one of the women |
| 00:36:26 |
we're escorting |
| 00:36:28 |
has given me a room |
| 00:36:30 |
for the last four seasons. |
| 00:36:31 |
- Okay. |
| 00:36:33 |
l said something |
| 00:36:35 |
and we had a falling out. |
| 00:36:36 |
What did you say |
| 00:36:38 |
l told her that her ass is big, |
| 00:36:40 |
that she's a saddIe-back |
| 00:36:43 |
Henry, that seems like |
| 00:36:46 |
That's where l'm counting on you. |
| 00:36:48 |
l'm hoping that your youth |
| 00:36:53 |
The other woman, |
| 00:36:56 |
has nothing to offer socially. |
| 00:37:00 |
ln fact, we often work |
| 00:37:03 |
She's the one who aIerted me |
| 00:37:06 |
- That was nice of her. |
| 00:37:08 |
Lagerfeld uses me for rides. |
| 00:37:10 |
She's gotten quite enormous, you see, |
| 00:37:12 |
and has trouble getting around town. |
| 00:37:13 |
Speak of the devil. |
| 00:37:16 |
My God, look at her. |
| 00:37:18 |
She does have nice hair. |
| 00:37:21 |
I suppose |
| 00:37:23 |
even Lagerfeld. |
| 00:37:27 |
Meredith: |
| 00:37:29 |
The George Gillies |
| 00:37:32 |
She's hosting quite a large |
| 00:37:35 |
l think we should try |
| 00:37:37 |
They're friends |
| 00:37:39 |
Mention the name Vivian Cudlip |
| 00:37:41 |
Meanwhile, where the hell is Lois? |
| 00:37:43 |
Oh, Lois, for heaven's sake. |
| 00:37:46 |
Hmm. Excuse us. Louis. |
| 00:37:49 |
Oh, terribly sorry. |
| 00:37:59 |
- There's a dwarf in that picture. |
| 00:38:04 |
Yes, quite right. |
| 00:38:05 |
Speaking of chiIdren, |
| 00:38:07 |
to my young house guest |
| 00:38:10 |
Louis has recently come |
| 00:38:13 |
Lois, Louis, |
| 00:38:16 |
Rolls off the tongue rather |
| 00:38:21 |
l need some more wine. |
| 00:38:29 |
l rea-- |
| 00:38:32 |
l really like these paintings. |
| 00:38:34 |
l don't. |
| 00:38:36 |
lt's ridiculous how nobody |
| 00:38:43 |
l was admiring your outfit before. |
| 00:38:46 |
lt's very interesting. |
| 00:38:48 |
And a good color for you too. |
| 00:38:51 |
And how old are you, Louis? |
| 00:38:54 |
Old enough. |
| 00:38:57 |
Tell me, are you |
| 00:39:00 |
Me? |
| 00:39:02 |
God, no. |
| 00:39:06 |
Not to me. |
| 00:39:09 |
What exactly do you do |
| 00:39:12 |
l work on the marketing |
| 00:39:15 |
but l'd like to be an editor |
| 00:39:18 |
or writer someday. |
| 00:39:19 |
Ah. Henry's an excellent writer. |
| 00:39:23 |
A talented playwright. |
| 00:39:24 |
But he can be |
| 00:39:26 |
- Ah. |
| 00:39:29 |
With the exception |
| 00:39:31 |
l've never experienced |
| 00:39:34 |
Stop complaining, Henry. |
| 00:39:37 |
Well, there is |
| 00:39:40 |
but it's not until 9:00. |
| 00:39:42 |
Then l'll need dinner first. |
| 00:39:44 |
We'll eat at my place. |
| 00:39:48 |
Henry and Louis can go |
| 00:39:50 |
- Come, dear. |
| 00:39:54 |
Henry: Things with Lois |
| 00:39:57 |
Your youth has failed us |
| 00:39:59 |
and l'm off my game. |
| 00:40:01 |
I haven't been sIeeping right |
| 00:40:05 |
We'II have no choice |
| 00:40:08 |
Next. |
| 00:40:10 |
There's no bathroom in here |
| 00:40:12 |
If I'm not back in time, |
| 00:40:15 |
Lois has millions of dollars, |
| 00:40:18 |
but there's nothing |
| 00:40:23 |
Narrator: |
| 00:40:26 |
he couIdn't heIp but pIay |
| 00:40:29 |
over and over in his mind. |
| 00:40:31 |
ln doing so, |
| 00:40:33 |
something became very clear |
| 00:40:35 |
about the nature |
| 00:40:37 |
with Mr. Henry Harrison, who-- |
| 00:40:40 |
- l'm back. |
| 00:40:41 |
Did you pee already? |
| 00:40:44 |
- Yes. |
| 00:40:46 |
Out there. |
| 00:40:48 |
Out in the street? |
| 00:40:49 |
- Yes. |
| 00:40:52 |
Yes, l did, Louis. |
| 00:40:54 |
A true aristocrat knows |
| 00:40:58 |
at any time he wishes |
| 00:41:01 |
Man: Next. |
| 00:41:02 |
Henry, l want to see |
| 00:41:07 |
Don't be ridiculous. |
| 00:41:08 |
Right there, |
| 00:41:10 |
How did you do it |
| 00:41:13 |
You could have |
| 00:41:16 |
lt's an acquired art. |
| 00:41:18 |
Look, l'll show you. |
| 00:41:22 |
Now watch, |
| 00:41:27 |
Ready? |
| 00:41:29 |
Step off the curb as if you're going |
| 00:41:32 |
Then you stop abruptly, |
| 00:41:36 |
MeanwhiIe, |
| 00:41:37 |
you've freed yourself |
| 00:41:39 |
and then, keeping a wide arc |
| 00:41:42 |
you step backwards, |
| 00:41:44 |
This way, no one can |
| 00:41:47 |
and the walking backwards part |
| 00:41:49 |
keeps you from pissing |
| 00:41:52 |
not to mention stepping in it. |
| 00:41:55 |
Oh, l just did a bit more. |
| 00:42:00 |
So now do you understand? |
| 00:42:03 |
l think l actually do. Yeah. |
| 00:42:07 |
Thank you for teaching me that. |
| 00:42:09 |
You're weIcome. |
| 00:42:11 |
Don't mention it. |
| 00:42:13 |
- Doorman: Good evening. |
| 00:42:16 |
Of course. |
| 00:42:18 |
Louis: Wow. |
| 00:42:26 |
Whatever you do, |
| 00:42:28 |
don't mention the fleas to Lois. |
| 00:42:30 |
If she catches them, |
| 00:42:33 |
Then l'll never get that room. |
| 00:42:35 |
Doorman: |
| 00:42:38 |
Wait. Wait. |
| 00:42:39 |
Lois has a dog. |
| 00:42:41 |
If I can transfer |
| 00:42:44 |
- we'll be saved. |
| 00:42:46 |
Doorman: |
| 00:42:49 |
- ( barking ) |
| 00:42:50 |
Oh, what a good girl. |
| 00:42:55 |
Look at you with your little-- |
| 00:42:57 |
what the hell is that on you? |
| 00:42:59 |
Looks like an Elizabethan collar. |
| 00:43:01 |
Henry, put the dog down |
| 00:43:03 |
and bring me |
| 00:43:05 |
Right away. Right away. |
| 00:43:07 |
- Put it down, Henry! |
| 00:43:08 |
l'm coming. |
| 00:43:12 |
Oh. |
| 00:43:18 |
Hello, Meredith. |
| 00:43:24 |
Um... |
| 00:43:29 |
Wow. |
| 00:43:31 |
What an amazing view. |
| 00:43:33 |
You can see everything from here. |
| 00:43:36 |
Meredith: I know. |
| 00:43:40 |
Did you really? |
| 00:43:43 |
We were |
| 00:43:45 |
WeII, we were aIways |
| 00:43:48 |
We never had a dull moment. |
| 00:43:52 |
I thought |
| 00:43:56 |
l thought life |
| 00:44:02 |
- Here we are. |
| 00:44:05 |
touching the light. |
| 00:44:06 |
Of course not. |
| 00:44:08 |
Did l mention, Lois, |
| 00:44:10 |
that l'll be having a staged reading |
| 00:44:12 |
of my George EIiot pIay |
| 00:44:15 |
Vivian Cudlip has secured |
| 00:44:19 |
Really, Henry? |
| 00:44:20 |
You're planning to be |
| 00:44:23 |
Well, of course. |
| 00:44:25 |
And I was thinking |
| 00:44:28 |
for the George Eliot role. |
| 00:44:31 |
lf you're angling to stay |
| 00:44:33 |
l can't have you this season. |
| 00:44:36 |
l've invited Meredith. |
| 00:44:39 |
l think the sun'll be very good |
| 00:44:42 |
- LagerfeId? |
| 00:44:45 |
Meredith. |
| 00:44:49 |
( banging plate ) |
| 00:44:54 |
This roasted chicken is delicious. |
| 00:45:00 |
Henry, l was wondering |
| 00:45:04 |
I found |
| 00:45:08 |
for my knee in Brooklyn. |
| 00:45:11 |
( laughing ) |
| 00:45:17 |
I was wondering if you might |
| 00:45:20 |
Find someone eIse. |
| 00:45:25 |
I don't think I can make it |
| 00:45:27 |
Every exhibit is the same-- |
| 00:45:29 |
toilet seats and sex organs. |
| 00:45:32 |
l'm no longer in the mood |
| 00:45:35 |
Louis, we're leaving. |
| 00:45:39 |
Now! |
| 00:45:45 |
Louis: l'm sorry things |
| 00:45:50 |
Henry: Right. |
| 00:45:55 |
( sighs heavily ) |
| 00:45:56 |
Thank you for taking me. |
| 00:46:00 |
The whole damned evening |
| 00:46:02 |
was engineered by Lagerfeld |
| 00:46:03 |
to get me to drive her |
| 00:46:07 |
Of course she's not going |
| 00:46:09 |
She wouldn't do anything |
| 00:46:11 |
now that she's got |
| 00:46:14 |
Don't dwell on it, Henry. |
| 00:46:16 |
Lets try to focus |
| 00:46:18 |
on something positive |
| 00:46:21 |
Yes. Yes. |
| 00:46:23 |
Yes, l suppose you're right. |
| 00:46:25 |
Yes. |
| 00:46:27 |
That roasted chicken was good. |
| 00:46:29 |
l'll try to focus on that. |
| 00:46:34 |
( engine squeaking, creaking ) |
| 00:46:37 |
Now what in God's name |
| 00:46:43 |
Let's look under |
| 00:46:49 |
No no no no no |
| 00:46:52 |
Not my car! |
| 00:46:57 |
No no. Not my Electra. |
| 00:47:00 |
lf l lose that, |
| 00:47:03 |
Let's just leave it here tonight. |
| 00:47:06 |
We'll come back in the morning, |
| 00:47:08 |
get it towed and repaired. |
| 00:47:09 |
Really? With what money? |
| 00:47:11 |
We'll figure something out. |
| 00:47:13 |
Let's just get a taxi home. |
| 00:47:16 |
No. |
| 00:47:17 |
No, you go. l can't now. |
| 00:47:20 |
I need to waIk |
| 00:47:23 |
Oh, come on, Henry. |
| 00:47:25 |
You shouIdn't do |
| 00:47:27 |
What do l look like?! |
| 00:47:30 |
You've been in Manhattan |
| 00:47:32 |
you're going to tell me |
| 00:47:34 |
I toId you I want |
| 00:47:36 |
- l was just-- |
| 00:47:37 |
Just go! l don't need you. |
| 00:47:43 |
( classical music playing ) |
| 00:47:55 |
No dancing today, huh, Henry? |
| 00:48:02 |
Hmm. |
| 00:48:07 |
( footsteps approaching ) |
| 00:48:09 |
Louis? |
| 00:48:11 |
I'm sorry, |
| 00:48:13 |
l didn't mean to interrupt you. |
| 00:48:14 |
No. No. No, l was just-- |
| 00:48:20 |
no, l wasn't reading anything. |
| 00:48:21 |
l realize we never went out |
| 00:48:25 |
Are you by chance available today? |
| 00:48:31 |
Did I mention |
| 00:48:33 |
are going to see "l Am Cuba" |
| 00:48:36 |
You should come. |
| 00:48:38 |
Really? |
| 00:48:40 |
That would be wonderful. |
| 00:48:45 |
l find you funny, Louis. |
| 00:48:47 |
ln what way? |
| 00:48:49 |
l mean, you're interesting. |
| 00:48:52 |
Sometimes you remind me |
| 00:48:55 |
like the '20s. |
| 00:48:58 |
lt's funny you should say that. |
| 00:49:01 |
l love that era-- |
| 00:49:03 |
the literature from that era. |
| 00:49:04 |
l never told anyone this, |
| 00:49:07 |
but sometimes, in my head, |
| 00:49:09 |
l actually imagine |
| 00:49:11 |
there's somebody narrating my life, |
| 00:49:14 |
( whispering ) |
| 00:49:20 |
Okay. |
| 00:49:21 |
Narrator: |
| 00:49:22 |
immediately regretted |
| 00:49:25 |
He struggIed |
| 00:49:28 |
So l never asked you, |
| 00:49:29 |
how did the whole upstate thing go? |
| 00:49:31 |
Amazing. |
| 00:49:33 |
You should come |
| 00:49:35 |
And bring someone of course. |
| 00:49:38 |
No, l have a roommate, |
| 00:49:41 |
Old, actually. |
| 00:49:43 |
l just rent a room |
| 00:49:45 |
To be honest, |
| 00:49:47 |
He gets irrationally mad at me. |
| 00:49:51 |
Maybe he's in love with you. |
| 00:49:53 |
No. No. |
| 00:49:56 |
I wouId never want |
| 00:49:59 |
There was one time |
| 00:50:02 |
Why? What did he do |
| 00:50:05 |
Well, |
| 00:50:07 |
it's kind of strange, |
| 00:50:09 |
but we were drinking wine |
| 00:50:11 |
and l was lying on the floor |
| 00:50:13 |
trying to work up |
| 00:50:16 |
and something |
| 00:50:38 |
That's it? |
| 00:50:39 |
( laughs ) |
| 00:50:42 |
l guess it was nothing. |
| 00:50:44 |
l don't know |
| 00:50:47 |
l'm sorry. |
| 00:50:49 |
Louis, there's something |
| 00:50:54 |
Sure. |
| 00:50:56 |
Well, you know that guy |
| 00:50:59 |
He's going to Jamaica |
| 00:51:01 |
and he invited me |
| 00:51:03 |
l really really wanna go. |
| 00:51:05 |
l've never been out |
| 00:51:07 |
and l'm so into Bob Marley. |
| 00:51:09 |
But George is giving me |
| 00:51:11 |
with aII the photo |
| 00:51:13 |
so I convinced him |
| 00:51:16 |
whiIe I was away. |
| 00:51:25 |
Sure. Whatever you need. |
| 00:51:30 |
You are the best. |
| 00:51:34 |
( shrieks ) |
| 00:51:36 |
( classical music playing ) |
| 00:51:37 |
Henry: |
| 00:51:39 |
Ow ow ow. |
| 00:51:42 |
Ow. Oh, hello! |
| 00:51:47 |
- How are you? |
| 00:51:51 |
You certainly seem better. |
| 00:51:53 |
Yes, my funk has lifted, |
| 00:51:55 |
although l couldn't tell you why. |
| 00:51:58 |
l got a call from the gas station. |
| 00:52:00 |
They said just to get |
| 00:52:02 |
will cost a small fortune. |
| 00:52:04 |
l did, however, hear |
| 00:52:05 |
about a very promising room |
| 00:52:09 |
- Good for you. |
| 00:52:11 |
l have a proposal |
| 00:52:14 |
which might save you money. |
| 00:52:16 |
What if you were |
| 00:52:20 |
to keep with me in Florida, |
| 00:52:23 |
just for two monthsâ |
| 00:52:24 |
in exchange for |
| 00:52:25 |
my paying your auto insurance |
| 00:52:28 |
during that time. |
| 00:52:29 |
So that's your motivation |
| 00:52:32 |
Well-- partially, yes. |
| 00:52:36 |
It's an idea I thought |
| 00:52:39 |
Why don't you follow |
| 00:52:42 |
to introduce me |
| 00:52:44 |
That would be of a lot more use to me |
| 00:52:50 |
No, l can't. |
| 00:52:54 |
Why? |
| 00:52:57 |
ls something so wrong with me? |
| 00:52:59 |
( sighs ) |
| 00:53:03 |
Uh, it's-- |
| 00:53:04 |
l can't lend you my car. |
| 00:53:07 |
lt has special meaning. |
| 00:53:12 |
l didn't mean to upset you. |
| 00:53:15 |
Let's just sweep |
| 00:53:17 |
the whole suggestion |
| 00:53:19 |
- Hmm? |
| 00:53:21 |
Excuse me. |
| 00:53:25 |
H. Harrison. |
| 00:53:27 |
Why, Gershon, what a surprise. |
| 00:53:31 |
My car? |
| 00:53:32 |
Yes, it did. |
| 00:53:35 |
You will? |
| 00:53:36 |
Uh, l-- l'll be right down. |
| 00:53:41 |
⪠Antiques ⪠|
| 00:53:43 |
⪠Every other sentiment an antique ⪠|
| 00:53:47 |
⪠As obsolete |
| 00:53:51 |
⪠When l'm driving ⪠|
| 00:53:54 |
- ⪠l'm on a straight road, it never alters... ⪠|
| 00:53:57 |
⪠And the radio serenades |
| 00:54:01 |
- Come on! |
| 00:54:03 |
⪠You offer infrared |
| 00:54:07 |
⪠You offer paper spoons |
| 00:54:15 |
Ma-- |
| 00:54:16 |
⪠...4:00 in the morning ⪠|
| 00:54:19 |
Mary! Mary! |
| 00:54:21 |
Louis? |
| 00:54:27 |
What are you doing here? |
| 00:54:28 |
l'm sorry |
| 00:54:31 |
But l was in the neighborhood, |
| 00:54:33 |
and thought you might |
| 00:54:35 |
Oh. Well, |
| 00:54:37 |
l'm pretty religious |
| 00:54:40 |
You don't actuaIIy drive |
| 00:54:44 |
No no. |
| 00:54:46 |
l was helping out |
| 00:54:50 |
She's quite enormous, |
| 00:54:53 |
Oh. |
| 00:54:56 |
That's really nice of you. |
| 00:54:58 |
WeII, since you're |
| 00:55:04 |
Louis: |
| 00:55:09 |
Now l owe you two favors. |
| 00:55:13 |
No, you don't owe me anything. |
| 00:55:14 |
Oh, go straight. |
| 00:55:16 |
This is Brad's block. |
| 00:55:19 |
Oh. |
| 00:55:21 |
What's that? |
| 00:55:24 |
"Sally's. New York's |
| 00:55:27 |
People are always leaving |
| 00:55:29 |
- Just throw it out. |
| 00:55:31 |
- ( screaming ) |
| 00:55:33 |
- A Iion! |
| 00:55:36 |
( laughing ) |
| 00:55:39 |
- Mary: Oh my God. |
| 00:55:43 |
l seriously just had a heart attack. |
| 00:55:45 |
l'm just having |
| 00:55:49 |
the worst day ever, Mary. |
| 00:55:53 |
Let's go see what that was. |
| 00:55:56 |
- Shit. |
| 00:55:58 |
Oh, God. Did l kill it? |
| 00:56:04 |
Somebody's idea of a joke. |
| 00:56:07 |
He is kind of cute, though. |
| 00:56:09 |
- ( Iaughs ) He is. |
| 00:56:12 |
l think l'm just... |
| 00:56:14 |
going to walk the rest |
| 00:56:16 |
- Oh, sure. |
| 00:56:22 |
Okay okay okay. |
| 00:56:27 |
( groaning ) |
| 00:56:31 |
Henry: |
| 00:56:33 |
Get some rest. You're looking |
| 00:56:38 |
Oh God! |
| 00:56:40 |
You shouId reaIIy stop |
| 00:56:44 |
it's becoming |
| 00:56:46 |
l just got in. Excuse me. |
| 00:56:49 |
What a disastrous evening. |
| 00:56:52 |
My God, Gershon served |
| 00:56:55 |
boiled tongue for dinner. |
| 00:56:57 |
And then later we taxied over |
| 00:57:01 |
and Gershon confirmed that |
| 00:57:04 |
However, l did remember |
| 00:57:07 |
l was out at Vivian's place |
| 00:57:09 |
l happened to notice |
| 00:57:13 |
out by the bay, |
| 00:57:15 |
Gershon and l were thinking |
| 00:57:19 |
have a look, |
| 00:57:21 |
Want to come along? |
| 00:57:23 |
I take it you're |
| 00:57:27 |
Yes, |
| 00:57:28 |
but why focus on it that way? |
| 00:57:31 |
Think of yourself! |
| 00:57:33 |
It's supposed to be |
| 00:57:36 |
courtesy of global warming. |
| 00:57:38 |
And I think |
| 00:57:41 |
He's-- well, different. |
| 00:57:46 |
( honking ) |
| 00:57:54 |
Where's Gershon? |
| 00:57:55 |
Gershon is pathologically late. |
| 00:57:58 |
Why don't you go in |
| 00:58:02 |
l don't even know him. |
| 00:58:03 |
You really should see |
| 00:58:05 |
lt's quite interesting. |
| 00:58:09 |
Okay. |
| 00:58:10 |
l'll just take it for a little spin. |
| 00:58:13 |
Joking. |
| 00:58:15 |
Oh, look. |
| 00:58:17 |
Décapotable. |
| 00:58:19 |
( laughs ) |
| 00:58:30 |
Gershon? |
| 00:58:41 |
( knocks ) |
| 00:58:44 |
Hello? |
| 00:58:54 |
Oh! Hello, l'm Louis-- |
| 00:58:57 |
Henry's roommate. |
| 00:58:59 |
We were waiting in the car |
| 00:59:02 |
and Henry wanted me to-- |
| 00:59:03 |
( high voice ) |
| 00:59:07 |
l was just putting my shoes on. |
| 00:59:09 |
No, of course. |
| 00:59:19 |
Wow, look at this. |
| 00:59:21 |
You have so many interesting things. |
| 00:59:24 |
( high voice continuing ) |
| 00:59:26 |
Must have been everywhere. |
| 00:59:29 |
No. I actuaIIy have |
| 00:59:31 |
Too busy working. |
| 00:59:34 |
What kind of work |
| 00:59:37 |
l'm a subway mechanic. |
| 00:59:44 |
- Sorry. |
| 00:59:45 |
l do love my job., |
| 00:59:49 |
but it's always been |
| 00:59:52 |
and sail off with a beautiful woman |
| 00:59:54 |
to the Mediterranean. |
| 00:59:56 |
We'd travel straight |
| 00:59:57 |
where tiny rowboats wait. |
| 01:00:00 |
Then we'd paddle out |
| 01:00:04 |
and kiss and sing |
| 01:00:06 |
and harmonize with our own echoes. |
| 01:00:12 |
l still believe it's possible. |
| 01:00:14 |
The boat and the woman. |
| 01:00:18 |
( Henry singing in French ) |
| 01:00:27 |
What's that song? |
| 01:00:29 |
From an Operetta l saw |
| 01:00:31 |
"Pas Sur La Bouche." |
| 01:00:34 |
It's about a man |
| 01:00:36 |
to be kissed on the mouth. |
| 01:00:39 |
- No, that's insane! |
| 01:00:42 |
Rubbing noses is |
| 01:00:44 |
How did you afford |
| 01:00:46 |
l had an inheritance. |
| 01:00:48 |
Both my parents were dead |
| 01:00:51 |
So l moved to Europe for 10 years, |
| 01:00:53 |
spent every last cent. |
| 01:00:56 |
Did both your parents |
| 01:00:58 |
My father died when l was two. |
| 01:01:01 |
ActuaIIy I was raised |
| 01:01:04 |
Why not your mother? |
| 01:01:05 |
My mother was afraid of me. |
| 01:01:10 |
She taught literature |
| 01:01:12 |
She was always taking ships to Europe |
| 01:01:15 |
and having love affairs. |
| 01:01:18 |
Quite beautiful, |
| 01:01:22 |
Fascinating woman. |
| 01:01:24 |
Sounds like you really loved her. |
| 01:01:28 |
This is starting to sound |
| 01:01:31 |
Are you planning to write |
| 01:01:33 |
of an obscure playwright whose masterpiece |
| 01:01:36 |
ls it so wrong |
| 01:01:39 |
Yes! l'm not interested in you. |
| 01:01:40 |
From now on l intend to give you |
| 01:01:43 |
the most misleading image possible. |
| 01:01:44 |
You may write my biography, |
| 01:01:47 |
but you will never capture my soul. |
| 01:01:57 |
Henry: |
| 01:01:59 |
Between Manhattan |
| 01:02:02 |
there's nothing |
| 01:02:04 |
Did you know that topless bars |
| 01:02:08 |
do their best business |
| 01:02:10 |
lt's the udders. |
| 01:02:12 |
That's the day men |
| 01:02:15 |
That actually makes lots of sense. |
| 01:02:17 |
This certainly is a beautiful inlet. |
| 01:02:20 |
Maybe it's a cove. |
| 01:02:22 |
l believe the appropriate word |
| 01:02:24 |
B-i-g-h-t, |
| 01:02:31 |
There's all kinds of wonderful words |
| 01:02:35 |
My personal favorite |
| 01:02:38 |
which means nothing |
| 01:02:39 |
Believe it or not it means, |
| 01:02:41 |
"Of or pertaining to leap year." |
| 01:02:43 |
So next February 29th, |
| 01:02:46 |
we should all remember |
| 01:02:47 |
to wish each other |
| 01:02:50 |
( laughing ) |
| 01:02:57 |
Thank God it's still here. |
| 01:03:01 |
Look at her. Oh, yes. |
| 01:03:03 |
- A thing of beauty. |
| 01:03:08 |
- Henry: Excellent. |
| 01:03:11 |
- 500 pound-feet of torque... |
| 01:03:14 |
...and single digit gas mileage. |
| 01:03:16 |
That's terrible for the environment. |
| 01:03:18 |
Oh, and l suppose yours is better? |
| 01:03:20 |
lt seems the owners have |
| 01:03:23 |
We should call |
| 01:03:26 |
We've come aII this way, we might |
| 01:03:29 |
CIimb in there |
| 01:03:31 |
lt's open. |
| 01:03:34 |
Gershon: |
| 01:03:36 |
Louis: |
| 01:03:39 |
Let Gershon do it. |
| 01:03:42 |
l don't see one. |
| 01:03:44 |
Maybe this is |
| 01:03:46 |
- Oh, no! |
| 01:03:49 |
Scheisse. |
| 01:03:52 |
Better vamoose before |
| 01:03:55 |
- Louis: Henry. |
| 01:03:59 |
Henry: |
| 01:04:02 |
Tomorrow l'll call and inquire |
| 01:04:04 |
as to the price of the rest of it. |
| 01:04:06 |
Louis: |
| 01:04:07 |
That's Iike returning |
| 01:04:09 |
Henry: Are you insane? |
| 01:04:11 |
Who'd be stupid enough |
| 01:04:13 |
to deface a car and then |
| 01:04:16 |
You know, Gershon, |
| 01:04:17 |
this young man is very well read, |
| 01:04:19 |
but he knows nothing |
| 01:04:21 |
Yes, l'm starting to think that. |
| 01:04:24 |
Henry: |
| 01:04:27 |
You know that he's never |
| 01:04:31 |
That's more than sad. |
| 01:04:33 |
Well, if Henry would let me |
| 01:04:37 |
l might pick up a step or two. |
| 01:04:39 |
My steps cannot be learned. |
| 01:04:40 |
They're entireIy intuitive, |
| 01:04:44 |
Try me. |
| 01:04:47 |
( chuckles ) |
| 01:04:51 |
Gershon, you've got |
| 01:04:53 |
We hear you in the shower |
| 01:04:56 |
Why don't you sing us |
| 01:04:59 |
What genre do you prefer? |
| 01:05:01 |
Um... |
| 01:05:03 |
Let's start with a waltz. |
| 01:05:05 |
- ( clears throat ) |
| 01:05:07 |
Over here. We need space. |
| 01:05:09 |
- Now observe and imitate. |
| 01:05:15 |
- Oh, yes. |
| 01:05:18 |
So once he's singing, |
| 01:05:20 |
Now shoulders so. Chest out. |
| 01:05:23 |
Aristocratic. |
| 01:05:27 |
- One, two, three, one, two, three. |
| 01:05:31 |
- That's right. Yes. Float! |
| 01:05:35 |
- ⪠And there are dreams... ⪠|
| 01:05:39 |
lt's not a peasant dance. |
| 01:05:42 |
You're above the world. |
| 01:05:43 |
- ⪠Someday... ⪠|
| 01:05:47 |
- ⪠We'll meet again... ⪠|
| 01:05:49 |
- ⪠My Iove... ⪠|
| 01:05:52 |
- ⪠Someday... ⪠|
| 01:05:54 |
⪠Whenever the spring breaks through. ⪠|
| 01:05:58 |
That's it. Yes! |
| 01:06:01 |
- Henry! Henry, are you okay? |
| 01:06:03 |
- Are you okay? |
| 01:06:05 |
What do we do?! |
| 01:06:07 |
What do you do? |
| 01:06:10 |
l need alcohol and civilization. |
| 01:06:12 |
- Okay. Okay. |
| 01:06:14 |
( groaning ) |
| 01:06:16 |
- Oh, God. Oh, God. |
| 01:06:19 |
( groaning ) |
| 01:06:22 |
Vivian Cudlip bought |
| 01:06:24 |
Gershon: |
| 01:06:26 |
l know how to fix him. |
| 01:06:29 |
No, you didn't. |
| 01:06:30 |
Don't be difficult, Henry. |
| 01:06:32 |
l'm the one who got you |
| 01:06:36 |
lt's a conspiracy, isn't it? |
| 01:06:37 |
Otto Bellman hired you, didn't he? |
| 01:06:38 |
- To assassinate me. |
| 01:06:40 |
Tell him he can keep |
| 01:06:43 |
- On your stomach. All right. |
| 01:06:45 |
Shh. Now... |
| 01:06:46 |
I'm going to begin |
| 01:06:49 |
( spits ) |
| 01:06:50 |
to the areas just above |
| 01:06:53 |
What? Not with your hands |
| 01:06:55 |
l don't want your germs. |
| 01:06:59 |
Fine. |
| 01:07:03 |
Here, l'll use this. |
| 01:07:05 |
Oh, l don't know about that, |
| 01:07:07 |
- I'II make it work. |
| 01:07:09 |
- Hold still. |
| 01:07:13 |
Are you insane?! God! |
| 01:07:15 |
You're trying to kill me! |
| 01:07:17 |
How in God's name is |
| 01:07:20 |
- Hey, here's some brandy. |
| 01:07:23 |
I need to go get |
| 01:07:25 |
And l have a very large |
| 01:07:27 |
- Mmm. |
| 01:07:31 |
Oh, God. |
| 01:07:32 |
Louis, l think l see my-- |
| 01:07:35 |
lt's my eye mask, |
| 01:07:38 |
Oh my... God. |
| 01:07:40 |
Ohh! |
| 01:07:41 |
Mmm! Oh. |
| 01:07:45 |
Let me get you a pillow. |
| 01:07:48 |
Louis. Louis. |
| 01:07:49 |
For God's sake, |
| 01:07:50 |
do not Iet... |
| 01:07:54 |
You can imagine where |
| 01:07:56 |
All l need is sleep. |
| 01:07:58 |
l need to put on my eye mask. |
| 01:08:01 |
Don't worry. |
| 01:08:06 |
lf, by chance, |
| 01:08:09 |
l want you to make sure |
| 01:08:11 |
that the funeral mass is in Latin. |
| 01:08:14 |
And give all my worldly goods |
| 01:08:17 |
except for the Christmas balls. |
| 01:08:20 |
You're not going to die. |
| 01:08:23 |
Yes, sleep. |
| 01:08:26 |
You know, Louis, |
| 01:08:28 |
in spite of your quirks, |
| 01:08:30 |
I think you're |
| 01:08:32 |
l'm very lucky to have you here. |
| 01:08:37 |
- ( door bangs ) |
| 01:08:39 |
( screams ) |
| 01:08:44 |
( phone ringing ) |
| 01:08:49 |
- ( groans ) |
| 01:08:53 |
l got it. |
| 01:08:58 |
H. Harrison's residence. |
| 01:09:01 |
Oh. Yes. |
| 01:09:03 |
Just one minute, please. |
| 01:09:05 |
lt's Vivian Cudlip's secretary. |
| 01:09:13 |
H. Harrison. |
| 01:09:15 |
l'm sorry? |
| 01:09:18 |
Oh. Oh, Vivian, |
| 01:09:22 |
Yes. Oh, that sounds lovely. |
| 01:09:27 |
Yes, l look forward to it. |
| 01:09:31 |
Oh, God, God, God, God. |
| 01:09:33 |
ls something wrong? |
| 01:09:35 |
Vivian's hosting a dinner party tonight |
| 01:09:38 |
She wants me to escort her. |
| 01:09:39 |
And look at me, lying here |
| 01:09:42 |
Maybe you should just call her back |
| 01:09:45 |
and tell her the truth. |
| 01:09:48 |
At her age she must |
| 01:09:50 |
Vivian has had every cancer |
| 01:09:54 |
Not to mention |
| 01:09:56 |
But that hasn't stopped her |
| 01:10:00 |
lf l let Vivian contact |
| 01:10:03 |
l'll be banished. |
| 01:10:04 |
But, Henry, |
| 01:10:07 |
No. No. |
| 01:10:10 |
But you can. |
| 01:10:14 |
Me? |
| 01:10:34 |
( doorbell rings ) |
| 01:10:38 |
Hello. l'm here for Mrs. Cudlip. |
| 01:10:41 |
Woman: |
| 01:10:47 |
Wait here. |
| 01:10:51 |
( whispering ) |
| 01:10:54 |
Come in. |
| 01:11:01 |
You're Louis. |
| 01:11:04 |
Yes. |
| 01:11:05 |
lt's a pleasure |
| 01:11:09 |
l've heard nothing |
| 01:11:11 |
Well, if Henry said them, |
| 01:11:14 |
Lately that man is |
| 01:11:19 |
He introduced my granddaughter |
| 01:11:22 |
to a deformed Swiss con man, |
| 01:11:25 |
and l'm not happy about it. |
| 01:11:27 |
- That's shocking. |
| 01:11:31 |
but he's annoyingly intent |
| 01:11:35 |
He's aIways dropping hints |
| 01:11:39 |
No, l didn't. |
| 01:11:41 |
And my other friend, Aresh, |
| 01:11:44 |
( chuckIing ) |
| 01:11:47 |
- This rose is for you. |
| 01:11:52 |
The car's waiting. |
| 01:11:54 |
- May l help you? |
| 01:11:58 |
Get this for you. |
| 01:12:03 |
So what do you think |
| 01:12:07 |
This caviar is wonderful. |
| 01:12:10 |
Yes. l want more. |
| 01:12:12 |
Right away, Mrs. Cudlip. |
| 01:12:18 |
( speaking Arabic ) |
| 01:12:20 |
A toast to Vivian. |
| 01:12:22 |
- Oh, yes. |
| 01:12:26 |
the most sophisticated, |
| 01:12:28 |
- Waiter, l need a straw. |
| 01:12:31 |
- Of course. |
| 01:12:34 |
grand dame in all of New York! |
| 01:12:37 |
( sucking ) |
| 01:12:40 |
AIso, you have received |
| 01:12:43 |
Oh, thank you. |
| 01:12:46 |
lt's nice to see you again, Meredith. |
| 01:12:48 |
Oh. |
| 01:12:52 |
Oh, that's right. Yes. |
| 01:12:53 |
Yes, hello. |
| 01:12:54 |
I'm sorry we couIdn't |
| 01:12:57 |
to the Whitney that night. |
| 01:12:58 |
Henry was a bit out of sorts. |
| 01:13:00 |
You mean rude. |
| 01:13:02 |
But you know, l don't care. |
| 01:13:04 |
Henry is horrible to all women. |
| 01:13:06 |
Oh, l don't think that's true. |
| 01:13:08 |
He had his heart broken years ago |
| 01:13:10 |
when he was young |
| 01:13:12 |
and still had money, |
| 01:13:13 |
and he takes it out |
| 01:13:16 |
You know, he was in love |
| 01:13:19 |
Her family wouldn't accept him. |
| 01:13:22 |
Henry's Protestant, |
| 01:13:24 |
and he pretends |
| 01:13:27 |
because he thinks it has some |
| 01:13:31 |
Spencer Mooney |
| 01:13:34 |
that Henry is homosexual. |
| 01:13:37 |
People say that too. |
| 01:13:38 |
And he was in the theater. |
| 01:13:40 |
Theater types need to be |
| 01:13:42 |
so they can feel things |
| 01:13:44 |
But Henry is the opposite-- |
| 01:13:47 |
- l don't think so. |
| 01:13:49 |
l give up. |
| 01:13:51 |
Louis, |
| 01:13:52 |
could you read this name |
| 01:13:55 |
Of course. |
| 01:13:57 |
"Barry Barbarash." |
| 01:13:59 |
Oh, l'm not going |
| 01:14:01 |
lf he hears l'm with other men, |
| 01:14:03 |
he just gets wildly jealous. |
| 01:14:06 |
Yes, Vivian, |
| 01:14:09 |
He is charming |
| 01:14:11 |
and has very wonderful long legs, |
| 01:14:13 |
but he spies on you, |
| 01:14:16 |
Yes. He has binoculars |
| 01:14:19 |
and he looks at you |
| 01:14:21 |
when you undress |
| 01:14:23 |
Don't get started, Aresh. |
| 01:14:25 |
- Just look at your menu... |
| 01:14:27 |
...and pick out |
| 01:14:30 |
How about Barbarash's |
| 01:14:33 |
( chuckling ) |
| 01:14:35 |
You see? You're no better |
| 01:14:38 |
You're just as jealous. |
| 01:14:40 |
Wouldn't you agree |
| 01:14:43 |
Well, wanting someone's |
| 01:14:46 |
with flaming cognac |
| 01:14:48 |
does sound |
| 01:14:50 |
What "flaming cognac"? |
| 01:14:52 |
( Iaughing ) |
| 01:14:53 |
- ( all laughing ) |
| 01:14:56 |
l like you so much. |
| 01:14:58 |
( shouting Arabic ) |
| 01:15:07 |
( laughs nervously ) |
| 01:15:11 |
Did l really hurt |
| 01:15:12 |
Oh yes, I think so. |
| 01:15:15 |
l'm terribly sorry. |
| 01:15:18 |
Please excuse me. |
| 01:15:21 |
( sucking ) |
| 01:15:23 |
Henry's protégé. |
| 01:15:30 |
Aresh. |
| 01:15:32 |
She doesn't know |
| 01:15:37 |
l've lost my country. |
| 01:15:40 |
She could so easily help me, |
| 01:15:43 |
but she doesn't even consider it. |
| 01:15:47 |
l am through with her. |
| 01:15:51 |
l am through |
| 01:16:01 |
Mary: |
| 01:16:04 |
Oh my God, it is you! |
| 01:16:06 |
Brad, this is the guy from "Terra" |

Good night, Vivian. |
| 01:17:58 |
Thank you |

No, |

| 01:18:10 |
Tonight, |

| 01:18:13 |
of a perfect gentleman. |
| 01:18:25 |
- ( door cIoses ) |
| 01:18:29 |
Henry, you're walking. |
| 01:18:31 |
Yes, a miracle. |
| 01:18:33 |
Gershon's magic vibrator |
| 01:18:36 |
at least temporarily. |
| 01:18:37 |
How was your evening? |
| 01:18:41 |
lt was wonderful. |
| 01:18:42 |
Vivian and l got along beautifully. |
| 01:18:44 |
You weren't supposed |
| 01:18:46 |
l sent you there to keep my rivals at bay, |
| 01:18:50 |
Actually, |
| 01:18:52 |
Everybody seems |
| 01:18:55 |
and yet she's still so sweet. |
| 01:18:57 |
Sweet? Vivian? |
| 01:19:01 |
You should see the way |
| 01:19:03 |
lt's like something |
| 01:19:05 |
Louis: Oh. |
| 01:19:06 |
- Well, maybe she's a sweet monster. |
| 01:19:09 |
- l'm going to Florida. |
| 01:19:11 |
Yes. |
| 01:19:13 |
Sun, vermouth |
| 01:19:14 |
and codeine is |
| 01:19:17 |
When are you leaving? |
| 01:19:19 |
Tonight, on the midnight bus. |

( sighs ) |
| 01:19:31 |
So there we are. |
| 01:19:33 |
l'm going to miss you, Henry. |
| 01:19:36 |
Don't be ridiculous. |
| 01:19:38 |
But l am. |
| 01:19:39 |
Can l at least help you |
| 01:19:43 |
They make them with wheels now. |
| 01:19:46 |
So try not to burn down |

You know the ruIes. |

| 01:22:50 |
lt is most filthy home |
| 01:23:03 |
Why is it so cold? |
| 01:23:05 |
Henry kept it in the freezer. |
| 01:23:10 |
( laughs ) |
| 01:23:13 |
Oh, Henry. |
| 01:23:15 |
( laughing ) |
| 01:23:18 |
Henry is very original, |

Christmas balls, |
| 01:23:25 |
Dancing, very original. |
| 01:23:28 |
Sneaking into the opera, |
| 01:23:31 |
He and l went six times together. |
| 01:23:36 |
- That many? |

Oh, l'm sorry. Louis. |

Louis? |

| 01:23:58 |
l would like Henry to attend. |
| 01:24:00 |
He is still mad at me though. |
| 01:24:02 |
He accuses me |
| 01:24:08 |
Anyway, |
| 01:24:10 |
I wiII track him down |
| 01:24:12 |
and convince him. |

Mary, couId I taIk |
| 01:24:58 |

| 01:24:59 |
l'll wait for you |
| 01:25:07 |
So remember at lunch |
| 01:25:10 |
how you said |
| 01:25:13 |
- Mm-hmm. |
| 01:25:15 |
as it turns out |
| 01:25:17 |

| 01:25:22 |
l'd like to bring a date, |
| 01:25:24 |
but l don't really know |
| 01:25:28 |
so l was wondering |
| 01:25:31 |
if maybe you'd accompany me. |
| 01:25:34 |
Um... |
| 01:25:38 |
I'm pretty serious |
| 01:25:40 |
- so this is-- |
| 01:25:43 |
I understand |
| 01:25:46 |
l just thought maybe |
| 01:25:48 |
we could go as friends. |
| 01:25:50 |
ln fact, l'm supposed |
| 01:25:52 |
to a young woman there. |
| 01:25:53 |
The niece of the bride's |
| 01:25:57 |
l really just-- |
| 01:25:59 |
l don't think this is |
| 01:26:02 |
Please don't be mad. |
| 01:26:05 |
l just think that honesty |
| 01:26:08 |
and the truth is... |
| 01:26:10 |
it makes me uncomfortable. |
| 01:26:12 |
Okay. |

| 01:26:17 |

| 01:27:23 |
in dating a woman |
| 01:27:26 |
Many of the beautiful girls here |

For a donation, that is. |
| 01:27:31 |

| 01:27:36 |
but they are beautiful. |
| 01:27:40 |
l don't understand |
| 01:27:43 |
Oh. |
| 01:27:48 |
You know, |
| 01:27:50 |
you'd actuaIIy make |
| 01:27:52 |
Put on a fierce blond wig |
| 01:27:56 |
Contour your nose a bit. |
| 01:27:58 |
My nose is very masculine, isn't it? |
| 01:28:01 |
Honey, if there's |
| 01:28:03 |
it wouId take more |
| 01:28:22 |
George? |
| 01:28:23 |
Yes. |

You must be Sandra. |

Okay. Sure. |

| 01:28:54 |
ln fact, |
| 01:28:56 |
l would like to look... |
| 01:29:00 |
as much as possible like her. |
| 01:29:09 |
⪠A plume of doom will rise ⪠|
| 01:29:14 |
⪠Eluding hearts and skies ⪠|
| 01:29:20 |
⪠Destroying eagles' eyes ⪠|
| 01:29:25 |
⪠While we all lament ⪠|
| 01:29:28 |
⪠This business of cement. ⪠|
| 01:29:33 |
What was that? |
| 01:29:36 |
l thought maybe l would |
| 01:29:40 |
l think it kind of works, maybe. |
| 01:29:42 |
- ( hisses ) |
| 01:29:44 |
lt's a little corny, no? |
| 01:29:45 |
Oh. |
| 01:29:47 |
- lt's not finished yet. |
| 01:29:50 |
That's not very nice. |
| 01:29:52 |
Okay. l'm sorry. l just-- |
| 01:29:54 |
l just believe that honesty |
| 01:29:56 |
is super important. |
| 01:30:00 |
You know what? Come on. |
| 01:30:01 |
Let's go to bed. |
| 01:30:03 |
l'm dying to see |
| 01:30:19 |
Ready? |
| 01:30:31 |
Well? |
| 01:30:34 |
Narrator: |
| 01:30:37 |
He Iooked nothing Iike |
| 01:30:40 |
ln fact, |
| 01:30:41 |
he was horrified |
| 01:30:44 |
Wait wait. |
| 01:30:47 |
Narrator: |
| 01:30:49 |
came a great revelation-- |
| 01:30:52 |
despite his occasional penchant |
| 01:30:55 |
Louis lves did not want |
| 01:31:00 |
There was no woman |
| 01:31:03 |
He did not long |
| 01:31:06 |
or the girls at Sally's. |
| 01:31:09 |
This was not his path to love. |
| 01:31:14 |
This is wrong. |
| 01:31:16 |
- lt's all wrong. |
| 01:31:18 |
No. No, you look really nice! |
| 01:31:21 |
Narrator: ln fact, |
| 01:31:26 |
he never felt more |
| 01:31:30 |
What? |
| 01:31:32 |
What the heII |
| 01:31:35 |
I'm sorry. I didn't think |
| 01:31:39 |
- What?! |
| 01:31:41 |
- You, asshole! |
| 01:31:42 |
- l just didn't under-- |
| 01:31:45 |
Henry! |
| 01:31:48 |
What-- |
| 01:31:52 |
- Get out of my home! |
| 01:31:54 |
- Go, go! |
| 01:31:56 |
- Get out of my home! |
| 01:31:58 |
- Get out of my home! |
| 01:32:00 |
- Go. Go. |
| 01:32:02 |
- Get out! |
| 01:32:05 |
l trusted you. |
| 01:32:07 |
l trusted you. |
| 01:32:09 |
- Henry-- |
| 01:32:11 |
Henry, l didn't know you |
| 01:32:15 |
Henry: |
| 01:32:17 |
Vivian died. |
| 01:32:19 |
Oh my... |
| 01:32:22 |
God. |
| 01:32:23 |
Henry, l'm sorry. |
| 01:32:25 |
l don't want your sympathy. |
| 01:32:27 |
- l only want your absence. |
| 01:32:31 |
l'm going for a walk. |
| 01:32:33 |
l want you out of my apartment |
| 01:32:37 |
PIease wait. |
| 01:32:39 |
Henry! |
| 01:32:42 |
Look, obviousIy |
| 01:32:45 |
Mmm. |
| 01:32:47 |
l tried my best to hide them, |
| 01:32:49 |
because I desperateIy |
| 01:32:54 |
But the real truth is |
| 01:32:56 |
l don't even know who you are. |
| 01:32:59 |
Nobody seems to. |
| 01:33:27 |
- ( tires squeal ) |
| 01:33:29 |
( crashes ) |
| 01:33:41 |
Narrator: |
| 01:33:45 |
so was his entire foundation. |
| 01:33:50 |
And for the first time |
| 01:33:53 |
Louis lves considered |
| 01:34:23 |
( door buzzes ) |
| 01:34:54 |
( speaking softly ) |
| 01:34:58 |
- Morning, Louis. |
| 01:35:50 |
Farewell, my Vivian. |
| 01:35:58 |
l shall always be |
| 01:36:00 |
your most devoted rosen knight. |
| 01:36:20 |
( knocks, clears throat ) |
| 01:36:21 |
You wanted to see me, George? |
| 01:36:23 |
Yeah. Yeah, I did. |
| 01:36:32 |
ls something... wrong? |
| 01:36:36 |
There's just something |
| 01:36:38 |
Okay. |
| 01:36:40 |
Louis, phone sales, |
| 01:36:43 |
they're not really right for you. |
| 01:36:47 |
- No? |
| 01:36:49 |
You're just-- |
| 01:36:50 |
you're not the right |
| 01:36:52 |
Now our magazine is doing-- |
| 01:36:55 |
is doing very well, |
| 01:36:57 |
The editing staff |
| 01:36:59 |
with all the unsolicited manuscripts |
| 01:37:01 |
So what l would prefer to do |
| 01:37:04 |
is to start you copy editing. |
| 01:37:08 |
You've got |
| 01:37:10 |
That's an asset here. |
| 01:37:11 |
We should groom you as a writer, |
| 01:37:14 |
not as a salesman. |
| 01:37:16 |
l guess what l'm saying is, |
| 01:37:18 |
l'm offering you a promotion. |
| 01:37:28 |
Mary: |
| 01:37:29 |
Louis, l need to talk to you. |
| 01:37:31 |
l was thinking... |
| 01:37:36 |
and you did me |
| 01:37:39 |
- and l was really selfish not to return it. |
| 01:37:43 |
So if you still need |
| 01:37:46 |
l would be happy |
| 01:37:48 |
and honored to fill that position. |
| 01:37:57 |
Mary, |
| 01:37:59 |
l really appreciate |
| 01:38:01 |
you offering to be my date. |
| 01:38:03 |
But l'm not sure |
| 01:38:05 |
if it's the best thing |
| 01:38:09 |
Really? |
| 01:38:12 |
Are you throwing |
| 01:38:36 |
Hello, Henry. |
| 01:38:40 |
Look at them, |
| 01:38:42 |
strutting around |
| 01:38:46 |
and yet they're |
| 01:38:48 |
Not a pot to piss in. |
| 01:38:50 |
Well, they do look |
| 01:38:57 |
Henry, I want |
| 01:39:00 |
You are always apologizing. |
| 01:39:04 |
lt's your apartment. |
| 01:39:06 |
They're your rules. |
| 01:39:08 |
Yes... |
| 01:39:11 |
all that is true. |
| 01:39:12 |
But I'm not |
| 01:39:17 |
Does that mean |
| 01:39:21 |
Don't be ridiculous. |
| 01:39:23 |
You did kick Bellman |
| 01:39:26 |
l know. |
| 01:39:28 |
But there's a difference-- |
| 01:39:31 |
it would be sad to lose you. |
| 01:39:42 |
Hmm. But you really do |
| 01:39:46 |
You might think |
| 01:39:47 |
to the American Legion |
| 01:39:49 |
Louis: Hmm. |
| 01:39:51 |
No, they'II get |
| 01:39:53 |
Actually, what l've |
| 01:39:55 |
to devote more time to writing-- |
| 01:39:57 |
professionally and personally. |
| 01:39:59 |
l think it may be therapeutic. |
| 01:40:01 |
Good. |
| 01:40:03 |
But I wouIdn't ruIe out |
| 01:40:07 |
Louis: |
| 01:40:12 |
- Gershon?! |
| 01:40:14 |
You look great, Gershon. |
| 01:40:16 |
- Thank you. |
| 01:40:18 |
- l did it for the wedding. |
| 01:40:25 |
What's this? |
| 01:40:35 |
My play! |
| 01:40:38 |
Gershon, you? |
| 01:40:41 |
l was angry. |
| 01:40:42 |
And l was hurt. |
| 01:40:46 |
And l wanted |
| 01:40:49 |
But l'm sorry, Henry. |
| 01:40:52 |
lt was wrong. |
| 01:40:56 |
Can you find it in your heart |
| 01:41:05 |
l forgive you, Gershon. |
| 01:41:07 |
You mustn't sin anymore. |
| 01:41:11 |
No sin against |
| 01:41:13 |
