Bad Timing Page #3

No, I won't let it chain me

Not if I can

I'd rather believe

In love

A nd give it away

Just as much as I can

To those that I'm fondest of

Someday

I 'Il get over you

I 'Il live

To see it all through

But I'll always miss

Dreaming my dreams with you

[Speaking German]

Hi.

- Danke schn.

- [Responds In German]

How you doin'?

What happened?

- You don't like it. Do you?

- Don't like what?

- My outfit. The way I look.

- You look fine.

- Oh. come on. I look better than that, don't I?

- Right. You look real fine.

Bought it for you.

Aren't you happy?

Couldn't be happier.

- You're a day late.

- Hey, I wired you, didn't I?

Yeah. It was waiting for me

when I got back.

Alex, I'm moving in with you.

Can't we just... -

just do one thing for me. Never force yourself

to be different from who you are.

Well, how am I then? Huh?

You tell me. How am I?

You're just fine if you forget

someone was waiting.

Look, can't we just forget all that?

What, forget that 'cause you got on

something pretty, it changes who you are?

I was gonna tell you something.

I was... -

I'm sorry.

- [Jet Streaks By Overhead]

- Milena, I'm sorry.

[Jet Streaks By Overhead]

- [Alex] Where are you going?

- Nowhere!

[Doctors Speaking German]

Hiya, Doc. Colonel Taylor here.

I hear you're thinking of going to New York.

Confirm one way or another, because we've

got some important profile work coming up.

Oh, by the way, the NATO people

were delighted with what you did...

on those two files yester... -

[Woman]

Hi, sweet. It's Amy here.

Um, I just got back from L.A.,

so give me a call when you've got ti... -

[Sustained Low Tone]

[Clicks Off]

[Rain Falling]

- You got a whole department here.

- You oughta see what we got in Italy.

You said this is a rush job, right?

Yeah. Otherwise I'd have

used one of our regulars.

But, as you can see,

we're working full blast.

Got some people coming in soon... -

Files, Inga.

Need some up-to-date

psychological reports.

You know, the usual.

- She's Viennese? I thought... -

- Born in America of Austrian parents.

Regular army through and through.

One of us.

You'll find everything you need to know

about these two guys in here.

- Or maybe you won't.

- Any idea what it's for?

Come on.

For all I know, it could be because

their names both begin with the same initials.

You just work out whether either one of them

is likely to sniff coke or play with little girls...

or boys.

I don't know what any of it's for. Maybe they

forward it to American Express for credit ratings.

I'm just cleared for taking them out of the cabinet

and putting them back in the cabinet.

- All yours, Doctor.

- Doctor.

Inga.

No, no, it wasn't anything

so shadowy or complicated.

[Scoffs]

Why would she marry him?

Listen, I've had men in my life...

and only one

would I have liked to marry.

But there are problems.

You know?

But marry him?

Sure. Why not?

Did he want to marry her?

Why not?

As for him and intelligence work,

it's ridiculous.

I think he would be flattered

someone he didn't know was analyzing him.

Though I'm sure he'd be

as amazed as he would amused.

[Snickers, Laughing]

Of course, everything I say has to be

taken in the context of who I am.

I'm only joking.

Suddenly so sad, so silent?

- Mmm.

- So sad, so silent.

- That's me.

- Here. Have some.

- You know I hate this stuff.

- [Laughing]

Mmm. Mmm.

Why didn't you tell me

you were married?

I, um...

didn't... -

You sort of lied, though.

A relative is what you said

was over the border.

[Sighs]

If I told you I was married...

you'd think it meant your way,

and it wasn't like that.

So better I... -

I don't think it was a lie.

It was words.

It's not important.

- Not important?

- Nope.

To whom?

Not important to whom?

- [Doctors Speaking German]

- [Alex Shouts] To whom?

- To whom? Huh?

- [Gasps]

To whom? To whom?

Not important to whom?

To whom?

[Sniffs]

It's over.

Took time to get out.

And for how long out?

A week? A month?

A day?

For good.

You still love him?

I married him.

Of course I loved him.

I don't anymore.

He's what I needed then.

He's almost 30 years older than you.

[Austrian Accent] You think you're not?

[Laughing]

- Are you cold? Mm-hmm?

- Yeah, I am cold.

Why is everybody

so nosy over nothing? Hmm?

I know something much better.

I'm not everybody.

No, you're not.

Anybody home?

Yoo-hoo! Alex!

- Hi!

- Hi, darling.

- How you doin'?

- I'm great.

Good. Mmm!

Where are we going tonight?

- I'll tell you about it.

- Better be exciting. I'm in an exciting mood.

- You're in the mood, huh?

- Yeah.

- All right. Let's go.

- Where?

Tonight I thought I would

take you to the library.

[Milena Laughing] The what?

You've got lipstick all over you.

Well, it's just that...

Stefan lived through the...

going here and there...

doing crazy things on a whim.

Oh, he'd do them for me.

I tried to please him.

Stopped doing whatever it was

I felt at the moment.

Oh, I don't know.

Seems the more rules I make for myself,

the unhappier I get.

[Male Vocalist, Faint]

You like me, huh?

- I like you.

- How much?

This much.

Is that all?

- All right.

- [Giggling]

Find me charming too?

I am immune to your charms.

- Who said that?

- Guess.

Oh, a certain shrink I know.

- Wrong.

- Who?

You don't know, huh?

How do you keep a moron

in suspense?

- How?

- I'll tell you later.

[Laughing]

I love you, honey, but I don't know why.

I am going to fix us

a terrific cheese omelet.

That is, if I can.

Even a not-so-terrific one

would be great.

You got it.

[Continues]

[Phone Ringing]

- What did you think of the play tonight?

- [Record Player Stops]

- Well, coach?

- [Ringing Continues]

The drama?

[Policeman]

Dr. Linden!

- Dr. Linden?

- No, we don't need Dr. Linden now.

Rest. Rest.

Smoke.

Soon we'll have a chance to speak.

- What?

- With me.

Who is the doctor who took over

when the woman was brought in?

Dr. Schneider.

- See if I can have a word

with her on the telephone.

- Ja, ja.

Well, Doctor...

is there hope for us?

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

[Doctors Speaking German]

- [Engine Starts]

- Passaplatz.

[Speaking German]

[Speaks German]

Yes, I need some information on, uh... -

Yes? On what?

Divorce in your country.

- I have... -

- [Clicks]

[Speaking Czech]

[Man Responding In Czech

On Intercom]

Stairway to the second floor,

first door on the right.

Danke schn.

- [Woman Speaking Czech]

- [Man Responds In Czech On Intercom]

Please.

Essentially, what I'm asking is...

how does one go about

getting a divorce in your country?

In my country,

as anywhere else...

the first step is to ask for one.

[Spoon Tapping Cup]

But how does such a question

come to be asked by you?

Someone I know... - a friend, an American... -

is married to a Czech.

It would seem, then, that the problem,

if there is one...

is not properly one of your concern.

I asked you not to go.
