with one of the pens
that ended the Second World War.
569
00:35:28,252 --> 00:35:32,297
This was used by a great American,
General Douglas MacArthur.
570
00:35:37,094 --> 00:35:38,512
Charles...
571
00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:42,891
I can't tell you how many long months
of constructive dreaming
572
00:35:43,016 --> 00:35:44,601
have gone in this moment,
573
00:35:44,726 --> 00:35:48,147
and I will let nobody, or nothing,
stand in the way of that dream.
574
00:35:49,523 --> 00:35:51,859
I’m asking you for the last time...
575
00:35:53,402 --> 00:35:55,112
Please, let me go.
576
00:35:55,237 --> 00:35:57,781
I can't force you to sign, can I?
577
00:36:05,873 --> 00:36:07,416
Can I?
578
00:36:30,772 --> 00:36:32,357
Congratulations, kitty.
579
00:36:34,610 --> 00:36:36,653
The copy's Charlie's.
580
00:36:39,781 --> 00:36:42,117
I’ll keep the pen.
581
00:36:42,242 --> 00:36:46,955
It's my only proof that the war is over
or that it was ever fought.
582
00:36:49,333 --> 00:36:51,543
Charles, we all love you!
583
00:36:52,502 --> 00:36:57,549
You're a great artist, so we must learn
to expect these temperamental actions.
584
00:36:59,051 --> 00:37:02,512
From now on, Charlie,
your problems are my problems.
585
00:37:02,638 --> 00:37:06,141
Never hesitate to call.
Your slightest wish, your worries...
586
00:37:06,266 --> 00:37:08,852
What's with you tonight, kitty?
587
00:37:08,977 --> 00:37:11,563
A certain party finds itself
very fascinated.
588
00:37:13,357 --> 00:37:17,569
Yeah, but like I said, I'm all tied up.
589
00:37:19,112 --> 00:37:20,572
Sure, kitty.
590
00:37:22,366 --> 00:37:27,204
- Nat, I’m driving by your office.
- No, thank you, I’m going to Culver City.
591
00:37:37,422 --> 00:37:38,840
Goodbye, Nat.
592
00:37:40,676 --> 00:37:43,762
Darling, I know how you feel.
593
00:37:45,097 --> 00:37:46,765
The old man knows.
594
00:37:47,975 --> 00:37:52,187
He twisted my neck
like I was a 10-cent rag doll.
595
00:37:52,312 --> 00:37:55,565
It's not so terrible
as you're making out.
596
00:37:55,691 --> 00:37:57,985
Like I was a little rag doll.
597
00:37:59,027 --> 00:38:02,781
You're making a whole tzimmes
out of a simple basic fact.
598
00:38:02,906 --> 00:38:05,367
Seven years of financial security.
599
00:38:06,743 --> 00:38:10,205
Darling, take the long view.
600
00:38:12,916 --> 00:38:16,253
Look...what could I do?
601
00:38:17,212 --> 00:38:18,422
Nat?
602
00:38:32,894 --> 00:38:34,438
See you, Nat.
603
00:38:37,941 --> 00:38:39,276
Hello?
604
00:38:41,236 --> 00:38:43,780
Sure, Marion. Right here.
605
00:39:07,304 --> 00:39:08,722
Hello, angel.
606
00:39:12,642 --> 00:39:14,311
Marion, wait...
607
00:39:15,228 --> 00:39:18,023
I think you ought to know,
Hoff was here.
608
00:39:19,274 --> 00:39:21,193
I lost.
609
00:39:21,318 --> 00:39:23,320
Yes, I...
610
00:39:24,112 --> 00:39:25,405
Hello?
611
00:39:26,615 --> 00:39:27,741
Hello?
612
00:40:36,852 --> 00:40:39,813
Drinking by yourself, Charlie?
Secret vices?
613
00:40:41,523 --> 00:40:45,485
Look what the wind blew in.
Mrs. Bliss.
614
00:40:46,695 --> 00:40:50,073
Isn't Buddy here?
His secretary said he was.
615
00:40:52,868 --> 00:40:57,080
- I need a drink, Charlie.
- Help yourself.
616
00:41:07,048 --> 00:41:10,260
- Marion still at the beach?
- Yeah.
617
00:41:15,765 --> 00:41:18,185
You should keep your door locked,
Charlie.
618
00:41:18,310 --> 00:41:21,396
You could be kidnapped
and held for a delicious ransom.
619
00:41:24,316 --> 00:41:28,862
I think I'll have some Tequila.
Tequila always makes me frisky.
620
00:41:28,987 --> 00:41:31,615
You want some more Tequila, Charlie?
621
00:41:31,740 --> 00:41:35,160
- Where did you come from, frisky miss?
- Lunch at Friscotti's.
622
00:41:35,285 --> 00:41:38,497
Oh, with that second-class neurotic,
Walden?
623
00:41:38,622 --> 00:41:41,875
- How'd you know?
- Oh, small town.
624
00:41:47,506 --> 00:41:49,132
My baby.
625
00:41:59,059 --> 00:42:00,685
Right here.
626
00:42:03,271 --> 00:42:05,857
You've cornered me
at 20 different parties.
627
00:42:05,982 --> 00:42:08,985
Why do you always sniff me out
when I’m drunk?
628
00:42:09,152 --> 00:42:13,365
- Are you drunk, Charlie?
- Stewed to the gills.
629
00:42:13,490 --> 00:42:19,120
The red neon lights are on
and the sky is full of drunken blackbirds.
630
00:42:20,330 --> 00:42:22,582
So drink your drink
and get out of here.
631
00:42:25,293 --> 00:42:29,381
Why stand on formality, Charlie?
I find you very attractive.
632
00:42:31,967 --> 00:42:33,927
You don't care what you do
to your husband, do you?
633
00:42:34,052 --> 00:42:35,929
Do you?
634
00:42:37,973 --> 00:42:41,184
That hurts, boyfriend.
You hurt me, darling.
635
00:42:41,309 --> 00:42:44,354
I’m a naughty girl.
