Yeah! Apparently he has been having an affair

with a woman who is very much in love with...

He has been having trouble bringing

himself to leave his wife.

But apparently, he is in so much

love with this other person

that he has decided to leave Karen

and plans to marry this other woman.

And he has been suffering so much

because he loves and respects his wife but

he cannot go on without this other woman.

Yeah?

Yeah.

I didn't have the nerve to ask

if it was a movie star.

Yeah. What's...what's the matter?

He was leaving his wife...

Yeah.

Oh yeah! He has tried and backed down

a dozen times, but now he said,

he cannot live without this other person,

that's what he said.

So, theres no question though, here,

he's very much in love.

Hmm?

What are you thinking? You seem...

seem so lost in thought.

I'm sorry. No, nothing.

What are you thinking?

Just nothing.

Oh no!

Oh no! I've made you nervous with my babbling

about marriage and us moving to New York.

Is that it?

I know.

That is quite a big thought.

It is.

Sorry.

You have a wonderful night.

Phil, we've gone over this a million times.

What are you...things have changed.

What?

Can we go some place and talk?

Where? Our usual dark bar?

No! Absolutely not! I work here.

I told Karen.

That was a little presumptuous, given the circumstance.

Don't you think?

What do you mean?

Are you actually considering moving

to New York with my nephew?

Do you know about that?

Who told you?

No secret is safe very long in this town.

Ours, was.

Don't tell me you changed your mind?

Oh! Hi, Louis.

Any word on the MGM thing?

Not yet. But we should know by the end the week.

Let me get that. There you go.

Thank you.

I love you.

Is all we meant to each other, nothing?

No, I do not know what I think.

I'm terribly confused. Can you blame me?

No. I can't.

Maybe tell me, "Go to Hell".

I will understand, but...

I will kill myself, then you will

know where it's coming from.

First you're leaving, then you're not,

then you are, then you can't.

I never pushed you to leave her,

in fact I never even asked you to leave her over me.

And now you're telling me, that you left?

What am I supposed to do with that?

I know I've been wishy washy,

but the thought of losing...

Hi. It's is a white Ermine fur.

Oh! Can you imagine the studio requires

us to wear fur in this weather!

Here you go.

That's the one. Thank you.

I understand it hasn't been easy.

But if it is so hard,

why should we have to...

Phil?

Yes? Hi!

You never got back to me about Bill Powell.

Oh! On what!?

William Powell in the Paramount two.

Oh! Right!

Yeah! I think he's gonna pass.

But I will give him a call tomorrow.

Vonnie! I don't want you working here.

I want to marry you and take care of you

for the rest of your life.

I don't believe you cooled on me so quickly!

And Christ sake! With who?

My nephew?

He's a nice kid, but where the hell is he going?

You said it yourself that it's possible

to have feelings for two people.

You love him too? I don't believe it.

Well believe it. I do.

You love me.

I don't know. I think so.

I'm not sure. I'm very mixed up.

Phil, we on for lunch, Thursday?

Absolutely. Sure. Sure.

I'll bring Judy Garland.

You will love this kid.

And I think we can end up representing her.

Really? Ok we will bring her along..

I met Judy over Billy Wilder's party.

So I know Judy.

See you Thursday.

See you Thursday.

I'm not gonna stand here pleading.

I love you.

I have loved you for over a year.

I handled the best I could.

Maybe it was handled poorly at times.

But in the matters of heart,

people do foolish things.

Think of, of my offer.

I want you to be my wife. Now!

I will die if you say no.

Goin' home to talk to Karen.

I thought you told Karen?

I told her that I would be speaking

a very serious matter this evening.

Charlie, we need to talk to you

about that John Ford movie.

Vonnie was perplexed.

Two men were in love with her.

One a dynamic and successful powerhouse.

The other, a younger man,

who clearly adored her.

She shared her problem with a roommate, Rosalind,

who first came down strongly

in marrying Phil Stern,

but then wavered that she found

Bobby very likable

and passionately in love with Vonnie.

Oh! Sorry, I thought everyone

on this floor had gone home.

Have a drink.

That's ok.

Go ahead. We are family.

We can drink together.

Theres something the matter?

The part of the only family left,

I left Karen.

Did you? I hope it wasn't too painful?

How are things going, with you and Vonnie?

It's okay.

Although, she's got a little nervous, lately.

Did she say anything?

No! She's been nervous to get married,

move to New York...it's been...

So, I don't push it..

Hmm. Umm, hmm

But although she loves me,

I know, she loves me,

and I truly believe she's looking

forward to marrying me,

because there were ever two people

meant for each other...

Cmon! Don't look so glum.

I'm sure your situation

will work itself out too.

Although I guess, it would have been

prudent before you talk to Karen.

Don't lecture me on being prudent! Please!

I understand timing!

Timing is everything in life.

The worst mistake you can make in business,

is being pre-mature.

Oh! Yeah, I know that...

Just remember!

If you marry her, I'm looking for my 10%.

Okay, it's a deal.

I don't wanna ask you, who you are in love with.

I guess it's some ravishing movie star?

No. She's not a movie star.

I'm not shallow.

I...I'm not seduced by cheap glamor.

I value substance and character.

Who the hell do you think I am?

I wasn't implying anything like that.

I was just thought it might be Hedy Lamarr,

because how much she adores you.

What!? All of your clients do.

That's...that's what makes you such a success.

That was a gift. I had it framed.

It's a love letter from Rudolph Valentino.

She gave me on our one year anniversary.

Which is paper.

Hi! What a surprise.

What are you doing here?

Are you going to marry me,

or my Uncle Phil?

I'm gonna marry Phil.

It's how nice to get together for Seder.

I have to say, selfishly,

it's so nice that you're

back from Hollywood.

And we are all together again.

So much for your brother

taking him under his wing!

Phil is helping him.

But he didn't take to, out there.

I knew you hate it out there.

If only wish my brother,Phil was in New York.

So that he could come tonight.

I love to meet his new wife.

Wouldn't you, Martin?

I don't have to.

You know how I feel about your brother.

He is not a Jewish man!

What kinda man throws out

his wife after 25 years,

and run off with a 25 year-old secretary?

I hate to tell you,

how many go with their secretaries.

Bobby says she was really beautiful.

So is looks everything!?

Where's character? Where's loyalty?

(SPEAKS IN HEBREW)

You're not a beauty contest winner

but I stuck with you.

Enough wine for you.

Look is an emotion.

And emotions are not rational.
