Hi.
You are free tonight?
I'm not.
You sure? I wanted to take you out celebrate.
Celebrate what?
I got a promotion.
And a raise. I'm gonna be reading scripts.
What!? That is fantastic!
Yeah.
Wow! I'm so happy for you!
Thank you. I was hoping to take you out for a screening.
I got invited by some...
big producer.
Can I take a rain check?
Yes, of course!
But I was hoping on buying you champagne.
Hmm, how about dinner on Wednesday?
Wednesday?
Yes OK.
Dinner it is.
That's great! I'll take you
out some place fancy.
Uh, then I gotta get dressed up
and the whole thing...
Maybe we stay at your place?
And I can cook for us.
Really? Well...you cook?
Well I don't make pheasant or souffl
or anything like that, but...
I can manage spaghetti and meatballs.
Yes! That's great.
okay.
Well you can play me those jazz records,
I've been dying to hear.
No! this is great.
Well my mother cooks spaghetti and meatballs.
When a Jew cooks, it's always over cooked.
They wanna be sure to kill all the germs, so...
I think, I'll prefer yours.
It was his first experience to a private
screening at a producer's home,
and it was a good movie.
have been there to share.
But she had warned him from start
that she had a boyfriend.
Sorry I'm late.
There was traffic! Can you believe it?
Late or on time, you always look beautiful to me.
Thank you.
Can I have some white wine, please.
I'm sure its just the Kinder lite.
It is the light of the candles.
I made up my mind.
I'm gonna have a talk with Karen
as soon as she returns from Toronto.
Her mother is much better.
Are you sure, this is really what you want?
I can't go sneaking around,
grabbing moments with you
in hotels and dark bars.
I'm in love with you.
You have been saying that but I just don't
wanna feel like I've broken up your marriage.
I wanna be honest,
Karen and I have a long history
and not a bad one.
Would I walk out on her,
hadn't I met you?
Probably not.
But I did meet you.
Of course I wanna be with you.
I just hate the duplicity of this.
I know, it's not fair to you to live like this.
You been so understanding about it.
Too understanding, really.
I love you, Vonnie.
you say that to me, it does!
With excitement I hope. Not anxiety.
Yes, with excitement.
I'm excited.
Dare I kiss you?
I dare you not.
Dear Bobby,
I understand you met some girl,
you're crazy about.
Your last letter said, she had a boyfriend.
A journalist.
My advice is to not give up.
Send her some flowers and keep trying.
I know you said, she's not the type that gets impressed
by presents but you know women appreciate little gifts..
Just a word to the wise...
As for Ben, he is getting involved
in the nightclub business.
What does he know of running a club?
I know, he's up to his neck with union problems.
But so far, he's been able to deal with them.
Ben Dorfman. Benny to his friends.
Ten typewriters were stolen over the weekend!
He was always in trouble with the law.
Even going back to school days.
He grew up in a Jewish neighborhood,
where most children got educated.
And became doctors or lawyers.
But not all. Some where though Jews
and picked the streets.
Harry Cantor owes me $6,000
You collect it for me.
I give you a third.
If you do it, this week...
I take you to Duffinetti for a nice steak.
He wasn't gonna struggle, like his father,
going through one menial job to another.
His friend Abe got 20 cents an hour
for lugging big crates of stationary.
He got 50 bucks for fixing up some
furs in the garment industry.
Being illegally, when they took the money,
they couldn't go to the cops.
One night he was sitting
in his car with Tony.
He had enough to buy a car!
A guy came up, calm as could be...
put his gun through the
window and killed Tony.
Education in the streets, came violently.
Now, he and his partners own the club
'The Hangover'.
He wore expensive suits,
he was still Benny from the streets.
Well have a good trip.
I envy you. I miss New York so much right now.
My business can't be without me for
too long or everyone falls apart.
I'm sure they do.
Good luck with everything.
Thank you.
She's coming over to cook spaghetti this week.
I keep...I keep deluding myself...
If I have the right wine, right music,
the right candlelight...
Oh, take it from me, she likes you
if she spends so much time with you.
Hope so.
Steve and I are rooting for you.
Thank you.
Stay in touch.
You too.
Hello?
Hey Bobby! I wanted to tell you that
I can't make it tonight.
Something came up, its an emergency.
I have to re-schedule.
But I laid everything out.
I opened the wine to let it breathe.
Can I make it up to you?
I promise, I will.
Ok! Ow! Yeah, ok. Okay.
I got our anniversary present.
It's...look...
It's a letter written and signed by
Rudolph Valentino.
It's paper.
Our first year's papers, so...
I found this amazing memorabilia shop.
I can't do it, Vonnie.
Can't do what?
I can't leave Karen.
Bob, it was your idea...
I can't see you anymore.
No?
This is putting me in an early grave.
But Christ!
We've been married for 25 years, we have kids.
You don't owe me any explanation.
I can't lead a double life.
It's not fair to you.
Or to Karen, or to myself.
It's okay.
It's not that I do not love you...
It's just that...the situation is too difficult.
And its pointless to move on...
I...I understand.
That's what you gonna say, right?
Something like that.
Look, I know...
we can't just both...
forget that this all happened.
Your secret is safe with me,
if that's what you are worried about.
Oh, my gosh! Are you okay?
I'm probably too late for dinner, right?
Dinner? Ah, well...
Are you okay?
What's wrong?
I don't want to impose on you like this.
No, its no imposition. What's wrong?
I can't stop crying, it's so stupid.
Well tell me what happened?
What happened?
Oh! Oh! Sorry. Was that okay?
Yes, it's over. It's all over.
Oh! I'm so sorry. What happened?
I brought him an anniversary present,
it was our paper anniversary, so, one year...
Yeah, yeah...
It was a Valentino letter, it was beautiful...
it was a letter signed and written by Valentino.
That's so nice.
He cannot leave his wife. And I know that.
I've known that. He can't.
Its just we can't go on forever, like that.
I did not know that he was married.
Can I have a glass of white wine?
Yes! Of course.
I mean, if it hasn't evaporated.
Its been breathing for hours.
Whoa! Sorry, that happens in this motel.
But it should be over soon.
God! I never suspected
he was married, although...
I am slow to pickup on anything.
You know, that is one of your sweetest qualities,
