"...broke in right on the tour." "No matter what they say, it's all about money." "So let's imagine, ladies, that you're a savings and loan officer." "Watch." "One, two, three." "See?" "You've got it all, and we've got nothin'." " And you have all four." "Take a look." " Oh!" "But I wouldn't trust you with real gold." "That's." "why this one's only worth about a penny." " Hmm." " And if you wonder where the other one went, watch." "Penny from the ear." "How much for the rest?" " Have you seen Edward?" " No, I haven't." "Great party, Philip." "Well, my wife went to a lot of trouble." "She called a caterer." " Excuse me, Anne." "Howard, how are ya?" " Philip, good." "Hey, I understand Edward's taking over Morse Industries." " Yeah, well, he's not here to get a suntan." " Can I get in on it?" " Yeah, call me." " When?" " Just call me." "Uh, hi." "I'm Philip Stuckey, Edward Lewis' lawyer." " Hey, where's the guest of honour anyway?" " Well, if I know him, he's probably off in a corner somewhere charming a very pretty lady." "How are you?" "I told my secretary to make the arrangements." "Didn't she call you?" "Yes, she did." "I speak to your secretary more than I speak to you." " I see." " I have my own life too, you know, Edward." "This is a very important week for me." "I need you here." "But you never give me any notice." "You just think I'm at your beck and call." "I do not believe that you are at my "beck and call."" "Well, that's the way you always make me feel." "Maybe I should just move out." " If that's what you want, yes." " All right, when you get back to NY, we'll discuss it." " Now is as good a time as any." " That's fine with me, Edward." "Goodbye." "Goodbye, Jessica." " Phil suggested that maybe I should take a look..." " Phil is just my lawyer, okay?" " Yes, sir." " How did the Morse stock open at the Nikkei?" " I don't know." " You don't know?" "Tokyo opened maybe 90 minutes ago." "You have to keep on top of these things,all right?" " Done." " Hello, Mr Lewis." " Hi, hi." "How ya doin'?" "I want this whole thing wrapped up as soon as possible." "I gotta get to New York by Sunday." " I got tickets to the Met." " Yes, sir." " Your coat, Mr Lewis." " Thank you." " Edward!" " Susan!" " Hi." " Hi." " I was sorry to hear about Carter." " Oh, yeah." "Thanks." " Heard you got married." " Well, yeah, I couldn't wait for you." " Susan, tell me something." " Yes?" "When you and I were dating, did you speak to my secretary more than you spoke to me?" "She was one of my bridesmaids." "Huh." " Your husband's a very lucky guy." "Bye." " Thanks." "Bye." " ...up to you." " Absolutely." " Wonderful." "He's leaving." "Edward's leaving." " Excuse me." " Sure." " Is this Mr Stuckey's car?" " Ha la Stuckey...?" " Edward, where ya goin'?" " You got the keys to your car?" "Why?" "What's wrong with the limo?" "Look, the limo is buried back there." "Darryl can't get it out." " Please give me the keys." " All right, look." "I don't think you should drive." "You're a little excited." "Don't drive my car." "Let me work something out here." "Fellas, what kind of a system is this?" "Can you move these cars out of here?" " Look, Edward, Edward." "Are you familiar with a stick shift?" " Oh, yeah." " Have you driven a shift?" " Yeah." "Yeah." "Listen..." "All right." "Just..." "Just be ginger with it." "Don't..." " It's a new car." "Don't..." " Okay, I can do it." " It's just a little..." "Edward!" " Give me a break, please?" " I love this car." "I love it too."

"No, I wanna find Beverly Hills." "Can you give me directions?" "Sure, for five bucks." " Ridiculous!" " Price just went up to ten." " You can't charge me for directions." " I can do anything I want to, baby.I ain't lost." "All right." "Okay." "All right." "You win, I lose." "Got change for a twenty?" "For twenty I'll show you personal." "Even show you where the stars live." "Oh, that's all right." "I already been to Stallone's." "Right." "Uh, down the street." "Make a right." "Lights!" "Lights would be good here." " This is a hot car!" " It's a little, little temperamental." " Yours?" " No, it isn't." " Stolen?" " N-Not exactly." "What's your name?" "What do you want it to be?" "Vivian." "My name is Vivian." "Vivian." " So what hotel you staying at?" " The, uh, Regent Beverly Wilshire." "Then down the block, right at the corner." "Man, this baby must corner like it's on rails." "Beg your pardon?" "Well, doesn't it blow your mind?" "This is only four cylinders!" "You know about cars." "W-Where did that come from?" "Road and Track." "Boys back home I grew up with, they were really into American heavy metal." "Mustangs, Corvettes." "They bought 'em cheap and fixed 'em up." "I paid attention." "So how is it you know so little about cars?" "My first car was a limousine." "So where is this... heavy metal home?" "Millageville, Georgia." "You know, I think you left your transmission back there." "You're not shifting right." "This is a standard "H."" "Standard "H." Like I know what that means." "You ever driven a Lotus?" " No." " You're gonna start right now." " You're joking." " No, it's the only way I can get you off my coat." "Fasten your seat belt." "I am taking you for the ride of your life." "I'm gonna show you what this car can really do." "Are you ready?" " I am ready." " Hang on." " Okay." " Here we go." "This has pedals like a race car." "They're really close together." "So it's probably easier for a woman to drive 'cause they have little feet." "Except me." "I wear a size nine." "You know, your foot's as big as your arm from your elbow to your wrist?" " Did you know that?" " No, I didn't know that." "Just a little bit of trivia." "Tell me, what kind of..." "What kind of money you girls make these days?" " Ballpark." " Can't take less than a hundred dollars." " Hundred dollars a night?" " For an hour." "An hour?" "You make a hundred dollars an hour and you got a safety pin holding your boot up" " You gotta be joking." " I never joke about money." "Neither do I." "Hundred dollars an hour." "Pretty stiff." "Well, no, but it's got potential." "Good evening, Mr Lewis." "Will you be needing the car any more tonight?" "I hope not!" "Ah... you're here." "Yeah." " So you'll be all right?" " Yeah, I'm gonna grab a cab with my 20 bucks." "Go back to your office." "Yeah!" "My office." "Yeah." "Well, thanks for the ride." " See ya." " Goodbye." "No taxis?" "No, I like the bus." "I was thinking." "Did you really say a hundred dollars an hour?" " Yeah." " Yeah." "Hmm." "Well, if you don't have any prior engagements," "I would be very pleased if you would accompany me into the hotel." "You got it." " What is your name?" " Edward." "Edward?" "That's my favourite name in the whole world." " No!" " I tell you what." "This is fate, Edward." "That's what this is." "Now why don't you put this on?" "Why?" "Well, this hotel is not the kind of establishment that rents rooms by the hour." "Ah." "Wow!" "It's all right." " Holy shit." " You're gonna be fine." "Come with me." "And stop fidgeting." " Good evening, Mr Lewis." " Hello." "You have messages?" " Yes, we have several." " Thank you." "Would you send up some champagne and strawberries, please?" "Of course." "Room service for Mr Lewis, please." "Oh, honey." "You know what's happened?" "I've got a runner in my panty hose!" "I'm not wearing panty hose!" "Well, colour me happy!" "There's a sofa in here for two!" " First time in an elevator." " Ah." "Close your mouth, dear." " Sorry." "Couldn't help it." " Try." " Penthouse." " The penthouse!" "Mm!" " Yes." "To the left." "Oh, I miss keys." "Impressed?" "You kidding me?" "I come here all the time." " As a matter of fact, they do rent this room by the hour." " Sure they do." "Wow!" "Great view!" "I bet you can see all the way to the ocean from out here." "I'll take your word for it." "I don't go out there." "Why don't you go out there?" " I'm afraid of heights." " You are?" "So how come you rented the penthouse?" "It's the best." "I looked all around for penthouses on the first floor, but I can't find one." "Well, now that you have me here, what are you going to do with me?" " Wanna know something?" "I don't have a clue." " No?" "I hadn't exactly planned this." "Well, do you plan everything?" " Always." " Yeah." "Me too." "I'm actually..." "No, I'm not a planner." "I wouldn't say I was a planner." "I would say I was, um, a kinda "fly by the seat of my pants" gal." "You know?" "Moment to moment." "That's me." "That's..." "Yeah." "Mm-hmm." "You know, you could pay me." "That's one way to maybe break the ice." "Oh, yeah." "I'm sorry." "Uh, I assume cash is acceptable?" "Cash works for me." "Yeah." "You're on my fax." "Well, that's one I haven't been on before." "Cute." "Very cute." "Thank you." "All right." "Here we go." "Pick one." "I got red, I got green, I got yellow." "I'm outta purple, but I do have one Gold Circle Coin left." "The condom of champions." "The one and only." "Nothin' is gettin' through this sucker." " What do you say?" "Hmm?" " A buffet of safety." "I'm a safety girl." " All right." "Let's get one of these on you." " Hey, hey, no." "I..." "Why don't we just talk for a little bit, okay?" "Talk." "Yeah." "Um, okay." "Edward, are you in town on, uh, business or pleasure?" " Business, I think." " Business, you think." "Well, let me guess." "That would make you... a lawyer." " A lawyer?" " Mm-hmm." "What makes you think I'm a lawyer?" "You've got that, um, sharp, useless look about you." "Bet you've known a lot of lawyers." "I've known a lot of everybody." "What is that?" " Champagne." " Oh." "Well." "Might as well make myself useful." "Take a load off." " Good evening." " Hi." " Uh, where would you like it?" " Where would we like it?" "Uh, over by the bar." " Excuse me." " It'll be on your bill, Mr Lewis." "Thank you." "What are you looking at?" " What is he looking at?" " Uh, yes." "Here we go." " Thank you very much." " Thank you very much, sir." "Have a nice evening." "Tip." "Wow." "I missed that one." "I'll..." "Don't worry about it." " You mind if I take my boots off?" " Not at all." "So, do you have a wife?" "Girlfriend?" " I have both." " Where are they?" "Shopping together?" "My ex-wife... is now in Long Island in my ex-home... with my ex-dog." "There you go." "My ex-girlfriend, Jessica, is in New York, moving out of my apartment even as we speak." " Try a strawberry." " Why?" "It brings out the flavour in the champagne." "Oh, groovy." "Pretty good." " Don't you drink?" " No." "Listen, I, I appreciate this whole seduction scene you got going, but let me give you a tip:" "I'm a sure thing." "Okay?" "So, I'm on an hourly rate." "Could we just move it along?" "Somehow I'm sensing that this time problem is a major issue with you." " Why don't we just get through that right now?" " Great." "Let's get started." "How much for the entire night?" "Stay here?" " You couldn't afford it." " Try me." " Three hundred dollars." " Done." "Thank you." "Now we can relax." "I'll be out in just a minute." "That champagne kinda got to me." " I didn't hear you." "What did you say?" " Um, I said I'd be out in just a minute." "What is..." "What do you have in, uh, your hand there?" " What are you hiding?" " Nothing." "All right, look." "I do not want any drugs here." "I don't want any of this." " Get your things and your money and please leave." " I don't do drugs, all right?" " I stopped doing drugs when I was 14." " What is this?" "What is this?" " This is dental floss." " Yeah?" "So?" "I had all those strawberry seeds." "And you shouldn't neglect your gums." " I'm sorry." "Please, continue." " Thank you." " Are you gonna watch?" " No, I'm going." "Thank you." "It's just that, uh, very few people surprise me." "Yeah, well, you're lucky." "Most of'em shock the hell outta me." " You're watching." " I'm going." "Yes, that may be true, Vance." "Yes, I know, but I still need the numbers on Morse Industries." "Uh-huh." "I've got 'em from London." "I need 'em now from Tokyo." "I'll call down and get them when I want them." "Thank you very much." "I have a little carpet picnic here." "Are you sure you don't want a drink?" "I'm high on life." "Can't you tell?" "You know, I never saw this episode." " What do you want?" " What do you do?" "Everything." "But I don't kiss on the mouth." "Neither do I." " Hey, how you doin'?" " Good." "Thanks." " Good morning, gentlemen." " Good morning, Mr Thompson." " Good morning, good morning." " Morning, sir." " Good morning, sir." " Good morning, Mr Thompson." " Good morning, Marjorie." "Of course Morse is going to fight." "It's to be expected." "He's run his company for a very long time now." "I don't think he's ready to have his name taken off the stationery." "He wants to meet you face-to-face." "Hmm?" " Okay." " I wouldn't do it." "Sure you wouldn't, but do it anyhow." "Tonight, dinner." "Set it up." "Oh, Edward, Edward." "I..." "Look." "It's really not a good idea that you see him." "Definitely not alone, you know?" "He's a feisty old guy." "You know, we say the wrong thing, we could wind up in court." "Well, you know, there's always a possibility things are gonna go wrong." "That's why I enjoy this so much." " Oh, by the way, Phil, about your car." " Oh, God." "What?" " It corners like it's on rails." " What?" "What does that mean?" "Edward." "Edward!" "Hi." "Well, good morning." " Red." " Better." "You didn't wake me." "I can see you're really busy." " I'm gonna be outta here in just a minute." " No, there's no hurry." "Are you hungry?" "You must be." "Why don't you sit and have something to eat?" "I, uh, took the liberty of ordering everything on the menu." "I didn't know what you'd like." " Thanks." " All right?" "Good." " Did you sleep well?" " Yeah." "Too good." " Forgot where I was." " Occupational hazard?" "Yeah." "Did you sleep?" "Uh, yes, a little, on the couch." "I was, uh, working last night." "You don't sleep, you don't do drugs, you don't drink." "You hardly eat." "What do you do, Edward?" "'Cause I know you're not a lawyer." "That's right." "There are four other chairs here." "Oh." " So what do you do?" " I buy companies." "What kind of companies?" "Well, I buy companies that are in financial difficulty." "If they have problems, you must get 'em for a bargain, huh?" "Well, the company I'm buying this week..." "I'm getting for the bargain price of about one billion." " A billion dollars?" " Yes." "Wow!" "You must be really smart, huh?" "I only got through the 11 th grade." "How far did you go in school?" "I went all the way." "Your folks must be really proud, huh?" "So you don't actually have a billion dollars, huh?" "No, I get some of it from banks, investors." "It's not an easy thing to do." " And you don't make anything?" " No." " And you don't build anything?" " No." " So what do you do with the companies once you buy 'em?" " I sell 'em." "Here, let me do that." "You sell them." "Well, I don't sell the whole company." "I break it up into pieces, and then I sell that off." "It's worth more than the whole." "So it's sort of like, um, stealing cars and selling 'em for the parts, right?" " Yeah, sort of." "But legal." " Mm-hmm." " There." "See?" "Now it's perfect." " Not bad." "Not bad at all." "Where'd you learn to do that?" "Well, I screwed the debate team in high school." "I had a grandpa who was nice to me." "He liked ties on Sundays." "Mind if I, uh, take a swim in your tub before I go?" "Not at all." "Just stay in the shallow end." " Hello?" " Edward, it's Phil." "Listen, I'm running out the door." "I just wanna let you know." " Morse is all set for tonight." " Oh, that's good." " He's bringing his grandson." "He's grooming him to take over." "I don't know." "Ah, yes." "Very intense young man named David." "Plays polo." "Look, I gotta say this again." "I don't like you going alone." "# I want your extra time and your #" "Look." "Wh..." "I just think it'd be better if you, if you went with a date, you know?" "Keep it social." " # You got to know how to talk dirty, baby #" " Edward, do you hear me?" " Uh, yes." "Yeah, I'm here."

" Really?" " Yes." "Yes, I'd like to hire you as an employee." "Would you consider spending the week with me?" "And I will pay you to be at my beck and call." "Look, I'd love to be your beck-and-call girl, but, um, you're a rich, good-lookin' guy." "You could get a million girls free." "I want a professional." "I don't need any romantic hassles this week." "If you're talkin' 24 hours a day, it's gonna cost you." "Oh, yes, of course." "All right." "Here we go." "Give me a ballpark figure." "How much?" "Six full nights." "Days too." " Four thousand." " Six nights at 300 is 1,800." " You want days too." " Two thousand." " Three thousand." " Done." "Holy shit!" "Vivian?" "Vivian, is that a yes?" "Y-Y-Yes." "Yes!" "I'll be gone most of the day." "I want you to buy some clothes." " You really should think about traveller's cheques." " We may be going out evenings." " You'll need something to wear." " Like what?" "Oh, nothing too flashy." "Not too sexy." " Conservative." "You understand?" " Boring." "Elegant." "Any questions?" " Can I call you "Eddie"?" " Not if you expect me to answer." "I would've stayed for 2,000." "I would've paid four." "I'll see you tonight." "Baby, I'm gonna treat you so nice, you're never gonna wanna let me go." "Three thousand for six days, and, Vivian, I will let you go." "But I'm here now." "Three thousand dollars!" "Whoo!" " Hello." " I called and called." "Where were you last night?" " Ma?" " It's Viv." "Oh, hi." "I had to party." "Where are you?" "Oh, man, are you ready for this?" "The guy?" "The Lotus?" "I am in his hotel room in Beverly Hills." "The penthouse." "His bathroom is bigger than the Blue Banana." "Do I have to hear this?" "Kit, he wants me to stay the whole week." "And you know what he's gonna give me?" "Guess." "You'll never guess." " Three thousand dollars." " Bullshit!" "I swear to God, and extra money to buy clothes." "Oh, man, I am bummed!" "I gave that guy to you!" "Three thousand." "Really?" "Is he twisted?" "No." " Ugly?" " He's good-looking." " Oh, what's wrong with him?" " Nothing." " Did he give you the money yet?" " The end of the week." " That's what's wrong with him." " Well, he gave me 300 for last night, and, Kit, I'm gonna leave some at the front desk for you." "I want you to pick it up." "I'm at the Regent Beverly Wilshire." "Write it down." "Are you writing it down?" "You'll forget it." "Write it down." " Reg..." "Bev..." "Wil." " Now, one more thing." "Where do I go for the clothes?" "Good stuff." "On him." " In Beverly Hills?" " Yeah." " Rodeo Drive, baby." " Hi." " Yes, ma'am." "May I help you?" "Yeah, I'm leaving this here for Kit De Luca." "She's gonna pick it up." " Don't open that." " Uh, no, ma'am."

"Look, I got money to spend in here." "I don't think we have anything for you." "You're obviously in the wrong place." "Please leave." "Doctor's office." "Two blocks down, to the left." "You have an appointment?" "Tiffany's taking the corner space." "They'll like the project." "I've very excited about the whole thing." "Did you realize that Via Rodeo is the first new street in Beverly Hills in 75 years?" " Excuse me, miss." "May I help you?" " I'm going to my room." " Uh, do you have a key?" " Oh, I forgot that cardboard thing." " I'm on the top floor." " You're a guest here?" " I'm with a friend." " Oh?" "And who would that be?" " Edward." " Edward?" "Edward." "Edward, uh..." " He knows me." " Dennis." "Dennis, did you just come off the night shift?" "Hmm?" " Yes, sir." " Do you know this young lady?" " She's with Mr Lewis." " Mr Lewis." "That's it." "Edward Lewis." "Thanks, Dennis." " Evidently, she joined him last night." " Thank you." "Oh, God, what now?" "What?" "What?" " What is with everybody today?" " I am the manager of the hotel." "Now just come with me." " We'll have a little chat." " I'm coming." "Yeah, I'm coming." " Thank you, Dennis." "Thank you." " And what is your name, miss?" " What do you want it to be?" " Don't play with me, young lady." " Vivian." "Thank you." "Vivian." "Well, Miss Vivian, things that go on in other hotels don't happen at the Regent Beverly Wilshire." "Now, Mr Lewis, however, is a very special customer, and we'd like to think of our special customers as friends." "Now, as a customer, we would expect Mr Lewis to sign in any additional guests, but as a friend, we're willing to overlook it." "Now, I'm assuming that you're a... relative?" " Yes." " Mm-hmm." "I thought so." "Then you must be his..." " Niece?" " Of course." "Naturally, when Mr Lewis leaves, I won't see you in this hotel again." "I assume you have no other uncles here?" "Good." "Then we understand each other." "I would also encourage you to dress a little more appropriately." "That'll be all." "No, that's not all." "That's what I was trying to do." "I tried to go get a dress on Rodeo Drive today, and the women wouldn't help me." "And I have all this money now and no dress." "Not that I expect you to help me, but I have all of this, okay?" "I have to buy a dress for dinner tonight, and nobody will help me." "Oh, man, if you are calling the cops..." "yeah, call the cops." "That's..." "That's great." " Tell 'em I said hi." " Women's clothing." "Bridget, please." "Yes, Bridget." "Hello." "This is Barnard Thompson here at the Regent Beverly Wil..." "Oh, thank you." "Yes, but I'd like you to do a favour for me, please." "I'm sending someone over." "Her name is Vivian." "She's a special guest." "She's the niece of a very special guest." "Now, this is the jewel in Morse's crown." "Prime industrial property straddling the port of Long Beach and Los Angeles." "The real estate possibilities are endless, but most of the yard we'll just level." "We just got the information, Mr Stuckey." "Edward, we just got the Morse update." "Don, can you hold the projection, please?" " Yeah, what?" "Speak." " Old man Morse just got the inside track... on a $350 million contract to build destroyers for the Navy." "Navy contract?" "I can't believe this." "I thought you said they had nothing in the hopper on this one!" " I thought they didn't." " Hey, you know, if that's true, it could cost a lot more." " Those stocks could go through the roof." " Yeah, no shit, Sherlock!" "Maybe we're lucky to get this information now, sir." " See, we can still walk away from it." " "Walk away"?" "Hey, forget it, pal." "We got a thousand man-hours in on this." " Nobody's walking away from anything." " Philip, I think he's right." " Forget it, Mark." " I do too, but why is he..." " I don't wanna hear it!" "Well, at least you're..." "Gentlemen, relax." "Relax." "Who do we know on the Senate Appropriations Committee?" " Senator Adams." " All right, Senator Adams." "Let's find out where he is." "The Navy's not going to spend $350 million on anything without going to Appropriations first." "I don't understand what's going on here today, gentlemen." " Hello?" " Well, that's why I hired you, Phil... to do my worrying for me." "I'll be in your office." "Bob, if you want to send over the geologicals." " No problem." " Thank you." " Edward." " Listen." "Everything all set for the meeting tonight?" " Yes, Senator Adams, please." " Well, who, who is this girl you're goin' with?" " Yes?" " Nobody you know." " Yes, Edward Lewis Enterprises." "Phil Stuckey." "Yes, I have him right here." "Don't worry, Mrs Rainey." "I'll call you the minute it comes in." " Thank you." " Have a nice day." " Thank you." " Hello." "You must be Vivian." "My name's Bridget." " Yeah, hi." " Barney said you'd be nice to me." " He's very sweet." "What are your plans while you're in town?" " We're gonna have dinner." " Oh, don't sit up there." "Here." " You're gonna go out?" "Dinner?" " Mm-hmm." "Well, you'll need a cocktail dress then." "Come with me." "Now, I'm sure we're gonna find something here that your uncle would love." " You're a size six, right?" " Yeah." "How'd you know that?" " Well, that's my job." " Bridge, he's not really my uncle." "They never are, dear." "Barney." "Sorry, mister." " I got a dress." " Well, I'd rather hoped you'd be wearing it." "Oh, no." "I didn't wanna get it messed up." "Listen, I got shoes too." "You wanna see?" "No, that won't be necessary." "I'm sure they're quite lovely." "Thank you." "Okay, well, listen." "I didn't mean to interrupt you, but Bridget was really great, and I just wanted to say thanks." " You're cool." " You're welcome, Miss Vivian." " Hello." " Never ever pick up the phone." " Then why are you calling me?" " Did you buy clothes today?" " I got a dress." "A cocktail one." " That's good." "I'll be in the hotel lobby 7:45 sharp." " What, you're not comin'up to the door?" " This isn't a date." "It's business." "Where are you takin' me, anyway?" "I'm taking you to a restaurant called the Voltaire." " Very elegant." " All right." "I'll meet you in the lobby, but only 'cause you're payin' me to." "Well, thank you very much." "Get her back for me, please." "Mr Stuckey wanted to see you." "Yes, tell him I'm in the middle of a very important phone call." " Hello." " I told you not to pick up the phone." "Then stop callin' me." "Sick." "Barney..." " It didn't fit." " Oh, no, no, no, no, no." "Uh, I've got a little problem." "All right, Miss Vivian." "One more time." " Dinner napkin." " Dinner napkin, lay gently in the lap." "Good." "Elbows off the table." "Don't slouch." "Shrimp fork, salad fork, dinner fork." "I definitely have the salad fork." "The rest of the silverware is a little confusing." "All right." "If you get nervous, just count the tines." "Now four tines: dinner fork." "And sometimes there are three tines: the salad fork." "And sometimes..." "Pardon me, Mr Lewis." "I'm Mr Thompson." "I'm the manager of the hotel." "Uh-huh." "Excuse me." "I just wanna make one call." "Yes, I'm sorry." "I have a message for you, sir." " From who?" " From your niece, sir." " My what?" " The young lady's who's staying with you in your room, sir." "Oh." "Hmm." " I think we both know that she's not my niece." " Of course, sir." "The reason I know that is that I am an only child." " Yes, sir." " What's the message?" "She's waiting for you in the lounge." "Intriguing young lady, Miss Vivian." " Intriguing." " Have a good evening, sir." " Thank you, Mr..." " Thompson." "I'm the..." " Thompson." "manager... manager of the hotel, sir." " You're late." " You're stunning." "You're forgiven." "Shall we go to dinner?" " This way, Mr Lewis." "Your party's waiting." " Stop fidgeting." " Mr Morse." " Yes." "Mr Lewis." "I'm Jim Morse." "This fireball is my grandson, David." "Yeah, well, I don't know about the fireball part, but grandson's true enough." "Well, I'm pleased to meet you both." "This is a friend of mine, Vivian Ward." " Hi." "Really glad to meet you." " Mr Morse, David." " Hi." " Hi." " Please sit." "Excuse me." " Where are you going?" " I'm going to the ladies' room." " Upstairs, to the right." " Okay." "Excuse me." " Shall I order for you?" " Yeah." " Please do so." "Thank you." " I'll do that." "Mr Lewis, my grandfather believes... the men who create a company should control its destiny." "Where's the salad?" " Oh, the salad comes at the end of the meal." " But that's the fork I knew." "Let me, uh, put it another way." "Between your public statements and the rumours flying around on this thing, we find it very hard to figure out what your real intentions are." "I don't know about you, but I've never been able to figure which goes with what." "You know, there was a time when we built ships the size of cities." "Men like my grandfather made this country." " Who ordered this?" " The gentleman did, ma'am." "Bon appétit." "These are escargot." "It's French for snails." "It's a delicacy." "Try it." " David." " Mr Lewis, if you were to get control... and I don't think you will... but if you did, what do you plan to do with the company?" "Break it up and sell off the pieces." "I'm sure you understand I'm not thrilled at the idea... of your turning 40 years of my work into your garage sale." "At the price I'm paying for this stock, Mr Morse, you are going to be a very rich man." "I'm rich enough." "I just wanna have my shipyard." "Slippery little suckers." "It happens all the time." "I met your father." "What's his name?" " Carter." " Yeah." "Carter." "Carter Lewis." "He's not quite the bastard everybody says he is." " No, I have the franchise on that." " Does that make him proud?" "I doubt it." "It doesn't really matter now." "He passed away." " I hadn't heard." "I'm sorry." " I'm sorry too." "Mr Morse, you asked for this meeting." "What can I do for you?" " Leave my company alone!" " I can't do that." "I own ten million shares." " I'll buy your stock back." " You don't have the money." "We will." "We're getting a contract to build ten destroyers." "There will be no contract." "The contract is now buried in Appropriations Committee and it will remain there." "And how the hell do you pull something like that?" "What, you got a..." " You got dirty politicians in your pockets now or something?" " Easy, easy, easy." " Calm down." "Calm down, David." "Mr Lewis plays hardball." " Yes." "Yes, I do." "I've heard enough of this." "Vivian, it was a great pleasure to meet you." "I'm sorry, Grandfather." "I've got to get some air." "Mr Lewis." "I better join my grandson." "You two enjoy your dinner." "I'm sure it'll be delicious." "Good luck, miss." "Watch out, Lewis." "I'm gonna tear you apart." "I look forward to it, sir." "Edward?" "Edward, you said you never come out here." "Well, I'm only halfway out." "You didn't say much in the car on the way home." "You thinking about dinner?" "I was a maniac." "I mean, the business was good, I think, you know?" "He's in trouble." "You want his company." " He doesn't wanna let it go." " Thanks for the recap." "Problem is, I think you like Mr Morse." "What I would like is for you to get down from there." "You're making me very nervous." " Please, come down." " It's making you nervous?" "What if I just lean back a little bit like this?" " Would you..." "Would you rescue me if I fell?" " Vivian, I'm serious." " Come..." "I'm not looking." " It's really high." "Look." "No hands." "No hands!" "Okay." "All right." "I'm sorry." "The truth is, it really is totally irrelevant whether I like this man or not." "I will not let myself become emotionally involved in business." "I know." "Kit's always saying to me," ""Don't get emotional when you turn tricks."" "That's why no kissing." "It's too personal." "It's like what you're saying." "You stay numb, you don't get involved." "When I'm with a guy, I'm like a robot." "I just do it." " Well, I mean, except with you." " Of course not with me." "You and I are such similar creatures, Vivian." "We both screw people for money." "I was sorry to hear about your dad." " When did he die?" " Last month." "Do you miss him?" "I hadn't spoken to him in 14 and a half years." "I wasn't there when he died." " Do you wanna talk about this?" " No." "Well, I'll tell ya what. 'Cause I got an idea." "Let's watch old movies all night." "We'll just veg out in front of the TV." " Veg out?" " Yeah." "Be still like vegetables." "Lay like broccoli." "Look, I'll tell you what." "I'll be back." "We'll do broccoli tomorrow." " Where are you going?" " I'm going downstairs for a while." " Did you say "marriage licence"?" " Now don't change the subject." " Just give me the stand." " Ohhh!" "Oh, I love you, Adam Alex Bider Bryan, whatever your name is!" "Oh, I love you." "Hi, uh, I'm in the penthouse." "The guy that was here, Mr Lewis?" "Have you seen him down there anywhere?" "Thank you." "Thank you very much." " I didn't know you played." " I only play for strangers." "I was getting lonely upstairs all by myself." "Gentlemen, would you mind leaving us, please?" "Thank you." "People always do what you tell them to do?" "I guess so." "Wake up." "Time to shop." "Now, if you have any trouble using this card, have 'em call the hotel." "All right?" " Oh, more shopping." " Mm-hmm." "I'm surprised you didn't buy more than one dress yesterday." "It wasn't as much fun as I thought it was gonna be." "Why not?" "They were mean to me." "Mean to you?" "People are looking at me." "They're not looking at you." "They're looking at me." "The stores are not nice to people." "I don't like it." "Stores are never nice to people." "They're nice to credit cards." " Okay." "Stop fidgeting." " All right." "Get rid of your gum." "I don't believe you did that." "Yes, sir?" "I am Mr Hollister, the manager." "May I help you?" " Edward Lewis." " Ah." "Yes, sir." "You see this young lady over here?" "Yes." "Do you have anything in this shop as beautiful as she is?" "Oh, yes." "Oh, no." "No, no, no." "I'm saying we have many things as beautiful as she would want them to be." "That's the point I was getting at, and I think we can all agree with that." " That's why when you came in here," " Excuse me." "You know..." " you knew from the first..." " what we're gonna need here?" "We're gonna need a few more people helping us out." "I'll tell you why." "We are going to be spending an obscene amount of money in here." "So we're gonna need a lot more help sucking up to us, 'cause that's what we really like." " You understand me." " Oh." "Sir, if I may say so, you're in the right store, and the right city, for that matter." "Anything you see here, we can do, by the way," " get ready to have some fun, okay?" " Okay." "Mary Pat, Mary Kate, Mary Francis, Tovah." "Let's see it." "Come on." "Pick it up, girls." " Oh, this is absolutely divine!" " You're doing great, but you..." "Excuse me, sir." "Uh..." "Exactly how obscene an amount of money were you talking about, just...?" "...profane or really offensive?" " Really offensive." " I like him so much." "Mr Lewis, sir?" "Mr Lewis?" "How's it going so far?" "Pretty well, I think." " I think we need some major sucking up." " You should just see you!" "Very well, sir." "You're not only handsome, but a powerful man." "I could see the second you walked in here you were someone to reckon with..." " Hollister." " Yes, sir." "Not me." "Her." "I'm sorry, sir." "I'm sorry." "How are we doing, ladies?" "Oh, Edward, Edward." "Where the hell are you?" "The word's all over the street." " Morse is gonna raise your offer, pal." " He's countering?" "God, he is a tough old bird." "He knows the Navy contracts are stalled." "Where's he gonna get the money?" "I don't know." "He..." "I think he's throwing in with the employees." "He still needs someone to underwrite the paper." " Find out who it is." "I'll be in the office in an hour." " Yeah, okay." "You got it." "You're on your own." "I have to go back to work." "You look great." " She has my card." " And we'll help her use it, sir!" "# Pretty woman walking'down the street #" "# Pretty woman the kind I like to meet #" "# Pretty woman #" "# I don't believe you You're not the truth #" "# No one could look as good as you #" "# Mercy #" " Edward would love that tie." " Would you give her the tie?" " The tie?" " Take off the tie." "Give her the tie." " Oh, the tie." " He really wants to do this." " He would go crazy about this tie." " Give her the tie." " He really would." " Who ordered pizza?"

"About, uh, 2:00, 2:30 would be good." "You were right about Morse." "He mortgaged everything he owns right down to his underwear to secure a loan from the bank." " It's not just any bank." "Plymouth Trust, huh?" " Hmm." "So it goes without saying... that your business means a lot more to them than our friend Mr Morse." "So all you gotta do is call the bank." "Yeah." "Edward, excuse me for saying this, but what the hell is wrong with you this week?" "Are you giving Morse a chance to get away?" "You know what I used to love when I was a kid, Phil?" "What?" "Blocks." "Building blocks." "Erector sets." "So I liked Monopoly." "Huh?" "Boardwalk, Park Place." "Well, wh... what's the point?" "We don't build anything, Phil." "We don't make anything." "We make money, Edward." "We worked for a year on this deal." "It's what you said you wanted." "I'm handing it to you." "Morse's jugular is exposed." "It's time for the kill." "Let's finish this." "Call the bank." "How was your day, dear?" "Nice tie." "I got it for you." "Well, my mother was a music teacher, and married my father, whose family was extremely wealthy." "Then he divorced my mother to be with another woman, and he took his money with him." "And then she died." "I was very angry with him." "It cost me $ 10,000 in therapy to say that sentence: "I was very angry with him."" "I do it very well, don't I?" "I'll say it again." "I was very angry with him." "Hello, my name is Mr Lewis." "I'm very angry with my father." "I would've been angry at the $ 10,000." "My father was president of the third company I ever took over." "I bought it." "I sold it off, piece by piece." " What'd the shrink say?" " Said I was cured." "Well, so, you got even." "That must've made you happy." "Did I mention my leg is 44 inches from hip to toe?" "So basically we're talkin' about... 88 inches of therapy... wrapped around you for the bargain price of..." " $3,000." " $3,000." "Yeah." "Ebersol of the Falcons passes to Keenan." "This is Bill Fricker with Gwen Olsen giving you play-by-play of this marvellous charity event." "Watch where you're walking, because if you step in something, we're not going back in the car." "Not too near the tree." "I don't like the ants." "Hello!" " Hello!" "How are you?" " Have you seen Edward anywhere?" " What if someone recognizes me?" " Not likely." " They don't spend too much time on Hollywood Boulevard." " You did." "Come on." "Let go." "Let go." "All right." "You look great." "You look like a lady." "You're gonna have a wonderful time." "Okay, don't fidget and smile." "Humboldt's coming around from the side." "Toquenee is on Keenan." "Penalty on that play." "This is Gwen and Gretchen, the infamous Olsen sisters... who have made marrying well an art form." " Edward!" " Be back in just a second." "Hold on." "So, you're the flavour of the month, hmm?" "Uh, she's just being testy." "Edward's our most eligible bachelor." " Everybody is trying to land him." " Well, I'm not trying to land him." "I'm just using him for sex." "Oh!" "Go on!" " Well done." " Well done!" "Woof!" "Woof!" "Woof!" "Tell me again why we're here." " Business." " Business mingling?" "Yeah." "That's the chukker, ladies and gentlemen." "Falcons, 7, Gems, 4." "Excuse me." "Edward." "Edward." "Over here." " Phil." " Ah, it's good to see you." "You too." "I want you to meet a new friend of mine, Vivian Ward." "Well, hi." "Philip Stuckey, Vivian." "This is my wife, Elizabeth." "It's always a pleasure meeting one of Edward's girls." "Oh, my God!" "It's Tate Whitley Wallington!" "Tate!" "It's me, Elizabeth from Workout World!" "She's an aerobics queen." "Feel the burn." "Well, hey, let me get you something to drink." " Eli..." "Vivian, why don't you start with that, okay?" " Thank you." "I'll be right back." "By the way, did you notice Senator Adams is here?" "Mm-hmm." "I asked him." "That is why I have pledged my eternal love to you." "Mmph!" "Real genuine guy." "Who is he?" "He's my lawyer." "He's all right." "You could freeze ice on his wife's ass." "Maybe we'll try that later." "Are these people your friends?" " I spend time with them, yeah." " Well, no wonder." "No wonder what?" "No wonder why you came looking for me." "And I do need some help from you ladies and gentlemen in the audience." "We need you to help us replace some of the divots out here on the grass." " So come on out now." " Come on!" "Come on, folks." "You heard her." "The stomping of the divots." "This is a time-honoured tradition, ladies and gentlemen." "As old as the game of polo itself." "Kings and queens used to do this." "She's sweet, Edward." "Wherever did you find her?" "976-BABE." "Only one word of advice." "Avoid the steaming divot." "No, it's all part of the game of polo." "You get to have your shoes polished by a member of the club." "Think I've got something in the car that'll buff that up." "Thank you." " Vivian." "Hi." "David Morse." " Excuse me." " David." " How are you?" " I'm okay." " I thought that was you." "I like this hat." "It's new." " Yeah?" "It's nice." " Yeah." "Thanks." "Come meet my horse, Vivian." "Well, Edward's waiting for me." "I don't wanna..." " Well, come on." "He's right here." " Okay, I'll..." "Just for a second, though." "I didn't know you were playing today." "Uh, I was asking for directions There she was." "Oh, so you just ran into her?" "That's great." "Jesus." "So, then, what does she do?" "She..." "Does she work?" " She's in sales." " Sales?" "That's terrific." "That's good." "What does she sell?" "Why do you wanna know?" "Now just hear me out on this, okay?" "I've known you a long time, you know." "I, uh, I see some differences in you this week, like the tie and, uh..." "I'm wondering if maybe this girl isn't the difference." "Especially when I see her talking to David Morse." "I introduced them at dinner the other night." "So, what?" "Now they're best friends?" "I mean, this girl appears from out of nowhere." "Now she's talkin' to a guy whose company we're tryin' to buy." " That's a little convenient, don't you think?" " I don't believe this." "Edward, how..." "How do you know that this girl hasn't attached herself to you... because she's bringing information back to Morse?" " This happens." " Phil." "Phil." "Phil." "Phil!" " Industrial espionage goes on almost every" " Listen to me." " What?" " She is not a spy." "She is a hooker." " Oh!" "She is a hooker." "I picked her up on Hollywood Boulevard... in your car." " Yes." " Oh, you are..." " Yes." " Oh, man!" "You know, you're the only millionaire I ever heard of... who goes looking for a bargain-basement streetwalker, you know?" "Edward!" "I'm sorry I told you." "Senator." "Senator Adams." "I'm pleased you could make it." "Thank you." "I hope the information I gave you was helpful." "Oh, absolutely, yes." "Thank you for it." "Now there's no change in it, is there?" "No, it's still bogged down." " Having a nice time, Vivian?" " Yeah, I'm having a great time." "Must be quite a change from Hollywood Boulevard, hmm?" "What?" "Yeah, Edward told me." "But don't worry." "Your secret is safe with me." "Listen." "Maybe, uh, you and I could get together sometime after Edward leaves." "Yeah, sure." "Why not?" " Well, then we'll just have to do that, hmm?" " Philip!" "Hi, tailgaters." "I'd like to mention a couple of our silver sponsors:" "Jacobs Distributors and Norrell Saddlery." "And we'd like to give a great big thanks to our platinum sponsor," "Edward Lewis Enterprises." "The ball is in for chukker number four." "Ay!" " You all right?" " I'm fine." ""Fine." Oh, that's good." "Seven "fines" since we left the match." "Could I have another word, please?" "Asshole." "There's a word." " Think I liked "fine" better." " You know what?" "Just tell me one thing." "Why did you make me get all dressed up?" "Well, for one thing, the clothing was appropriate." "No." "What I mean is, if you were gonna tell everybody I'm a hooker," " why didn't you just let me wear my own clothes, okay?" " I did not..." "I did not..." "I mean, in my own clothes, when someone like that guy Stuckey comes up to me," "I can handle it..." "I'm prepared." "I'm very sorry." "I'm not happy with Stuckey at all for saying that or doing that." "But he is my attorney." "I've known him for ten years." "He thought you were some kind of an industrial spy." "The guy's paranoid." "What are you, my pimp now?" "You know, you think you can just pass me around to your friends?" " I'm not some little toy!" " No, you're not my toy." "I know you're not my toy." "Vivian." "Vivian!" "I'm speaking to you." "Come back here." "I hate to point out the obvious, but you are, in fact, a hooker, and you are my employee." "Look, you don't own me!" "I decide!" "Okay?" " I say who, I say when," " I..." " I say who!" " I refuse to spend the next three days fighting with you!" "I said I was sorry." "I meant it!" "That's the end of it!" "I'm sorry I ever met you." "I'm sorry I ever got into your stupid car." "As if you had so many more appealing options." "I've never had anyone make me feel as cheap as you did today." "Somehow I find that very hard to believe." " Where you going?" " I want my money." "I wanna get outta here." "Come on!" "I'm sorry." "I wasn't prepared to answer questions about us." "It was stupid and cruel." "I didn't mean it." "I don't want you to go." "Could you stay the week?" "Why?" "I saw you talking to David Morse." "I didn't like it." "We were just talking." "I didn't like it." "Down?" "You hurt me." "Yes." "Don't do it again." "First guy I ever loved was a total nothing." "The second was worse." "My mom called me a bum magnet." "If there was a bum within a 50-mile radius, I was completely attracted to him." "That's how I ended up here." "I followed bum number three." "So here I was: no money, no friends, no bum." "And you chose this as your profession?" "I worked at a couple fast-food places." "Parked cars at wrestling." "I couldn't make the rent." "I was too ashamed to go home." "That's when I met Kit." "She was a hooker and made it sound so great." "So one day I did it." "I cried the whole time." "But then I got some regulars and, you know, it's not like anybody plans this." "It's not your childhood dream." "You could be so much more." "People put you down enough, you start to believe it." "I think you are a very bright, very special woman." "The bad stuff is easier to believe." "You ever notice that?" "No, I don't want to talk to him now." "Tell him I'll call him on Monday." "Yes, sir." " Where you going?" "Did he sign this?" " No, he said he had to leave." "Hey, Edward, you can't disappear now." "We're in this too deep." "Don't panic, Philip." "Morse isn't going anywhere." "I'll be back here in the morning." " Did you send the tickets to the hotel?" " Yes, sir." " Thank you." " Where are you going?" " I have a date." "With the hooker?" "Be careful, Philip." " Do I look okay?" " Mm." " Mm?" " Something's missing." "Well, nothing else is gonna fit into this dress," " I'll tell ya that." " Oh, maybe something in this box." "I don't want you to get too excited." "This is only on loan." "They really let you borrow this from the jewellery store?" "I'm a very good customer." "If you were gonna buy this, how much would it cost?" "Quarter of a million." "A quarter of a million dollars?" "So where we going?" "It's a surprise." "If I forget to tell you later, I had a really good time tonight." "Thank you." "When you're not fidgeting, you look very beautiful..." " and very tall." " # You're a dream coming true #" "# I can't believe how I have fallen for you #" "# You are the one Who's led me to the sun #" " # How could I know #" " You don't want to go all the way to" "San Francisco in a limousine, do you?" " I've never been on a plane before." " How'd you get to L. A?" " Like this." " # And I want to tell you #" "# You control my brain #" "# And you should know that You are life in my veins #" "Well, it should be a pretty smooth flight, Mr Lewis." "The weather is clear all the way up to San Francisco." "We should be there in about 50 minutes." "We're late." "No, it's all right." " Opening night never starts on time." " Okay." " Programme, sir?" " Thank you." "Nice to meet you." "Right this way, Mr Lewis." " Doris." " Edward, how are you?" " It's nice to see you." " Always nice to see you." " Sir?" " Good evening, Edward." " Wonderful." "Wonderful news.Congratulations." " Hey, come here." " You gotta look at this." " It's all right." "I've already seen it." "Oh." "If you're afraid of heights, why do you get seats up here?" "Because they're the best." " Is there anything else, sir?" " No, thank you." " The glasses are there." "Enjoy the opera." " Oh." "So... you said this is in Italian." "So how am I gonna know what they're saying?" "These are broken." "Mine are broken." "No, no, it's okay." "It's all right." " Oh." " You'll know." "Believe me, you'll understand." "The music's very powerful." "There's a band." "People's reactions to opera the first time they see it is very dramatic." "They either love it or they hate it." "If they love it, they will always love it." "If they don't, they may learn to appreciate it, but it will never become part of their soul." " Bravo!" " Bravo!" "Bravo!" "Bravo!" "Did you enjoy the opera, dear?" "Oh, it was so good I almost peed in my pants." "What?" "She said she liked it better than Pirates of Penzance." " Oh!" " Yes." " No, don't touch." "No..." " I move the queen." "I like the queen." "You can't move the queen there." "I thought you were gonna do that!" "Why don't we finish this tomorrow?" "It's really late, and I have to work." "Why don't you not go to work tomorrow?" "Take the day off." "Me not work?" "Yeah." "I do own the company." "Here are the storage reports you wanted, and Mr Lewis called." " What'd he say?" " He said he's taking the day off." " He's taking the day off?" " That's what he said." "I'm starving." "There's a snap dog vendor over there." "Do you have any money?" "I have money." "I don't know what a snap dog is, but I have money." "Well, I'm gonna give..." "You'll buy a snap dog, we'll cop a squat under a tree somewhere." " Cop a what?" " Cop a squat." "All right." "Read the first two pages." "Okay." "I was talking to someone." "I was talking to..." ""...death ever, my hopeless cries, and look upon myself and curse my fate."" "He sleeps." "I love you." "What are you thinking about, sitting here all by yourself?" "The fact that this will be our last night together." "Then you'll finally be rid of me." "Well, you've been pretty tough to take." "My business is almost over, so I'll be going back to New York." "I'd really like to see you again." " You would?" " Yes." "Yes, I would." "I've arranged for you to have an apartment, have a car, have a wide variety of stores guaranteed to suck up to you... any time you wanna go shopping." "Everything's done." "What else?" "You gonna leave some money by the bed when you pass through town?" "Vivian, it really wouldn't be like that." "How would it be?" "Well, for one thing, it would get you off the streets." "That's just geography." "Vivian, what is it you want?" " What do you see happening between us?" " I don't know." "When I was a little girl, my mama used to lock me in the attic when I was bad, which was pretty often." "And I would..." "I would pretend I was a princess... trapped in a tower by a wicked queen." "And then suddenly, this knight... on a white horse, with these colours flying, would come charging up and draw his sword." "And I would wave, and he would climb up the tower and rescue me." "But never, in all the time... that I had this dream, did the knight say to me," ""Come on, baby." "I'll put you up in a great condo."" " Yes." " I had to call." "I just got off the phone with James Morse." "Get this." "He wants to meet with you today." " What about?" " He wouldn't say." "Edward, I think we got him." "His nuts are on the block." "We got him." "Look, if he's really caving in, I want to get him to commit... his stocks to us this afternoon." "Hmm?" "No, that's no good." "If he's really caving in, I don't want to wait 'til this afternoon." "Have Morse meet me downtown this morning." "Goodbye." "I have to go now." "I want you to understand." "I heard everything you said, but this is all I'm capable of right now." "It's a very big step for me." "I know." "It's a really good offer for a girl like me." "I've never treated you like a prostitute." "You just did." "Yes, Barnard Thompson here, Miss Vivian." "Could you come down to the front desk?" "There's someone here who wants to speak to you." " She says her name is Miss De Luca." " Let me talk to her." "Let me..." "Let me just talk to her." "Yo, Viv, babe." "Would you come down here?" "The sphincter police won't let me through." " Okay." "She's on her way." " Fine." " Mr Thompson." " Yes." "The window washer is refusing to come down." "It's a Saturday." "Wait here, please." "Watch her." "Yes, sir." "Fifty bucks, Grandpa." "For 75, the wife can watch." "Listen, I've been calling you." "Yeah, I know." "They told me at the Banana you were looking for me." "You were supposed to come by Tuesday." "I left the money at the desk." " I was hidin' out from Carlos." " Well, if you picked up the money, you wouldn't have to hide." "Hey, I was busy." "I had a life, you know." "Nino got beat up." "We had to visit him in the hospital." "Rachel got arrested." "It was a mess!" "Anyway, I got the money." "Thank you very much for saving my ass." "Now Carlos can get off of it." "You know, he was talking about you last night." "He would bust something if he saw you in this outfit." "I was afraid to hug you up there." "I might wrinkle you!" "You look really good." " Over there?" " No, something in the shade." "You clean up real nice." "Sure don't fit in down on the boulevard looking like you do, not that you ever did." "Well, thanks, but it's easy to clean up when you got money." "Yeah." " So, when does he leave?" " Tomorrow." " You get to keep the clothes?" " Yeah." "Edward asked me if I wanted to see him again, but I think, I think definitely no." "I mean, it's just another week, right?" " Definitely no." " Yeah." " Oh, no!" " What?" " I know this weepy look on your face." " Oh, no, you don't!" " You fell in love with him, didn't you?" " No." "Kit, please!" " Oh, stop it." " You've fallen in love with him?" " Kit!" " Did you kiss him on the mouth?" " Uhhh, uh, yeah." "I did." " You kissed him on the mouth?" " I did." "It was nice." "You fall in love with him and you kiss him on the mouth?" "Did I not teach you anything?" "Look, I'm not stupid, okay?" "I'm..." "I'm not in love with him." "I just..." "I like him." " You like him?" " Yeah." "You definitely like him." "Well, he's not a bum." "He's a rich, classy guy." "Who's gonna break my heart, right?" "Oh, no." "Come on." "You don't know that." "Hey, he asked you, right?" "Maybe you guys could, like, um, you know, get a house together, and like, buy some diamonds and a horse." "I don't know." "Anyway, it could work." "It happens." "When does it happen, Kit?" "When does it really happen?" "Who does it really work out for?" "Did it work out for Skinny Marie or Rachel?" "No." "Those were very specific cases of crackheads." "I just wanna know who it works out for." "You give me one example of somebody that we know that it happened for." " Name someone?" " Yeah," " You want me to name someone?" " one person that it worked out for." " You want me to, like, give you a name or something, oh?" " Yeah, I'd like a name." "God, the pressure of a name." "Cinder-fuckin'-rella." "Mr Morse, you said this morning you wish to speak to Mr Lewis." "Mr Lewis is now listening." "I've reconsidered my position on your acquisition offer." "On one condition." "I'm not so concerned about me, but the people who are working for me." "It's not a problem." "They'll be taken care of." "Now then, gentlemen, if we could address ourselves to the contracts in front of you." " If you look..." " Excuse me, Phil." "Gentlemen, I'd like to speak to Mr Morse alone." "Thank you." "All right, gentlemen." "You heard the man." "Please wait outside." "You too, Phil." "What do you mean?" "I mean I would like to speak to Mr Morse alone." "Why does he get to stay?" "Please." "Please." "I'll be right outside." "Good." " Is that better?" " It's all right." " Would you like a cup of coffee?" " Black." "Mr Morse... my interests in your company have changed." "What is it you're after now, Mr Lewis?" "Well, I no longer wish to buy your company and take it apart." "But I don't want anyone else to either." "And it is still extremely vulnerable." "So I find myself in unfamiliar territory." "I wanna help you." "Why?" "Mr Morse, I think we can do something very special with your company." "What about our Navy contracts?" "Ah, they weren't dead." "Just delayed." " I bluffed a little bit." " You're very good at it." "Thank you very much." "It's my job." "I think we can leave the details up to the others." "I find this hard to say without sounding condescending, but..." "I'm proud of you." "Thank you." "I think we can let in the other suits now." "Let's continue the meeting." "Come in, gentlemen." "Sit down." "Edward, please." "What was this all about?" "It's all yours, Phil." "Finish it up." "Hold it." "Hold it, these aren't signed." "These aren't signed!" "Can someone please tell me what the fuck is going on here?" "Mr Lewis and I are going to build ships together." "Great big ships." "You know, I think I'm gonna go for a walk." " Just stay here for a while." "I'll be back." " Yes, sir, Mr Lewis." "Well, well." "Hello again." "I'm looking for Edward." "Edward's not here." "I thought he was with you." "No." "Uh, Edward is definitely not with me." "No, if Edward were with me..." "When, actually." "When Edward was with me, he didn't blow off billion-dollar deals." "No..." "I think that, uh," "Edward's with you, that's what I think." " Mind if I have a drink?" " No." "No, thank you." "Well, I'll just wait." "Uh, Edward will be back soon." "Any minute, he'll be home." "You know..." "This is not home." "This is, uh, a hotel room." "And, uh, you are not... the little woman." "You're a hooker." "Maybe you're a very good hooker, you know?" "I mean, maybe if I do you, then I wouldn't care about losing millions of dollars, because I have to be very honest with you right now, Vivian." "Right now I really do care." "I really do." "And right now I am really pissed, you know?" "Right now I am just freaking out." "So maybe if I screw you, huh, and take you to the opera," " then I could be a happy guy just like Edward." " Hey, get off me!" "Hey!" "Hey!" "Hey!" "Hey!" "Goddam it!" "Ow!" "Ow!" " Come on!" "Come on!" "Okay, whore." " Get off me!" " Let's do it!" " Get off me!" " How much is it?" "A 100 bucks?" "90 bucks, 50?" " Get off me!" " You a 50-dollar whore, Vivian?" "What are you doing?" "Get off her!" "Get off her!" " Stop!" "I don't wanna hurt you!" "Stop!" " I don't know how to tell you this." "You already did, Edward!" " Ow!" "All right." "All right!" " Get outta here!" "Look." "She's a whore, man." "She's a goddam..." "Ah!" " Damn it!" " Shit!" "Goddam it!" " I think you broke my nose." " Get outta here." "What is wrong with you?" "Come on, Edward!" "I gave you ten years!" "I devoted my whole life to you!" "That's bullshit." "This is such bullshit!" "It's the kill you love, not me!" "And I made you a very rich man doing exactly what you loved!" "Now get outta here!" "Get out!" "Why do guys know how to hit a woman right across the cheek?" "Wham!" "And it feels like your eye is gonna explode." "What do they do?" "Do they,they pull you aside in high school and show you how to do this?" "Is that..." "Ow!" "Not all guys hit." "I heard about what you did with Morse." "It was a business decision." "It was good." "It felt good." "I think this is okay." "I gotta get going." "Yes, I noticed you packed." "Why are you leaving now?" "Edward, there'll always be some guy, even some friend of yours, thinking he can treat me like Stuckey... thinking that it's allowed." "What are you gonna do?" "You gonna beat up everybody?" "That's not why you're leaving." "Look." "You made me a really nice offer." "And a few months ago, no problem." "But now everything is different, and you changed that, and you can't change back." "I want more." "I know about wanting more." "I invented the concept." "The question is, how much more?" "I want the fairy tale." "Impossible relationships." "My special gift is impossible relationships." "Thank you." "You're welcome." "If you ever need anything... dental floss, whatever... you give me a call." "I had a good time." "Me too." "You want me to get you a bellboy?" " No, I got it." " I'll carry this." "Thanks." "Stay." "Stay the night with me." "Not because I'm paying you, but because you want to." "I can't." "Goodbye." "I think you have a lot of special gifts." " I didn't do it, sir." " No, no." "I know." "I didn't say that." "I want you to call Maintenance and have them deal with this." " You must delegate authority." " Yes, sir." "Hi, Barney." "Miss Vivian." "Thank you." "I wanted to say goodbye." "Well, then I gather you're not accompanying Mr Lewis to New York?" "Come on, Barney." "You and me live in the real world, most of the time." "Have you arranged for transportation?" " I'm gonna call a cab." " No, allow me." "Darryl." "Yes, sir?" "Please take Miss Vivian anywhere she wishes to go." "Yes, sir." "It's been a pleasure knowing you." "Come and visit us again sometime." "Stay cool."
