what kind of man he is.
A question, sir.
Was it Mr. Duffy
that suggested me...
for this expedition
to Mountain City?
In the past,
you might have felt...
that Mr. Duffy recommended you
for other surveys...
in order to keep you
away from home base.
Perhaps that may have
been in his mind.
It's of no interest to me.
I am interested only in results.
I may tell you, young man...
they have been
enormously profitable...
and largely due to the shrewdness
of your reports.
Thank you, sir.
Uh, not to go beyond
the walls of this room...
The only gold stars on
my son-in-law's record...
have been his
recommendation of you...
for these assignments.
How long will I be gone?
You'll be there about two months.
Can I take my wife?
I prefer not.
Plan to leave not later
than Friday night.
Friday night?
We just moved into
our New York apartment.
We've got 35 people
coming over on Sunday.
I've never made
any sacrifice for this firm...
that I didn't feel amply repaid.
No dessert for me.
Good luck
and good day to you.
[Man Laughs]
Well, good night, Mary.
Thank you, Steve.
Thank you.
Good morning.
Good morning.
Why didn't you meet us?
Didn't you see the note I left?
I got home too late.
I had to finish that Dunham Report.
I suppose I'm supposed to know...
One of the trivial little things...
that helps pay to keep you...
neck and neck
with Harper's Bazaar.
Incidentally, just where
did you wear that little number...
until 2:
00 this morning?I wore this little number
to the Mona Lisa.
Would you unzip me
in the back, please?
I thought Sage didn't
like that place anymore.
Oh, Sage wasn't along.
She stayed home
with a bad tooth or something.
What, just you and her husband?
Just little old us.
Can't you do any
better than that?
As a matter of fact,
I could have...
but he had another date...
with the Dingham Report.
Dunham.
Oh, so sorry. Dunham.
Suppose you tell me
what was so important...
that you left me
sitting alone today...
over a chicken salad sandwich...
while you had lunch with MacHardie.
He's giving me a new assignment...
the coal regions of Pennsylvania.
Tsk tsk tsk.
I'd give you the details...
but you're obviously not interested.
And what about the party on Sunday?
I know. I'm sorry.
And just how long do you suppose...
you'll be gone this time?
About two months.
And of course I am forbidden
to go with you...
or to visit you because...
It's not exactly forbidden, but...
The trouble with this company...
is it's run by old men.
I hope you know what
they're doing to us.
What should I do, resign?
Ha!
I'm not going to sit around...
and stare at four walls again.
You don't have to.
to the theater...
- I'm going to the theater.
- Go to the theater!
What if it's somebody
you don't know...
a man?
I don't want you having dates
with guys I don't know.
Suppose it's somebody
you know and don't like?
For instance?
Jim Roper.
What made you think of him?
He's coming to the party on Sunday.
How did that happen?
I ran into him on Fifth Avenue
and invited him.
In that case, I'm glad
I'm not going to be here.
It's probably just as well
if that's your attitude.
Yeah, it is my attitude.
Another thing... You're not
going out with Jim Roper...
and that's final!
Final?
Yes.
That's final.
Well, I wouldn't be too sure.
You go right along
to Pennsylvania...
and you play with
your grimy coal miners...
but don't be too sure.
[Train Whistle Blows]
[Shouting]
Anything on that call
to New York?
[Knocking]
Come in.
Here you are, sir.
Keep trying, will you?
They're celebrating
the football game.
No kidding.
They play on Sunday?
Sure. Mountain City
beat the Steamrollers 28 to nothing.
Thanks.
Hey, you're that Providence left end.
I know you.
Nope. Sorry.
You should have been thrown
out of the game.
I was.
No, you weren't,
but you should have been.
You're cute.
Come on in and join us.
I've got a couple of quarts.
I'm in training.
For what?
I'll bet you're married.
You're absolutely right.
My wife gave a party today.
She did?
You know who was there?
Who?
Not me.
Oh. Why don't we
stay in here, then?
I bet you won't be sorry...
'cause when I like a fella...
grrr!
I hate to say no to a lady.
Well, don't.
But you got to beat it.
What do you mean?
I just got here.
And you just went out.
Well, luck to you, Buckley!
[Telephone Rings]
Hello.
Hello, Mary?
Hello.
I've been calling all evening.
Well, nobody was here.
We all went to dinner
at Michel's after the party.
Who's "we"?
Peg and Bill, Sage and Steve...
and Jim Roper and I.
Who brought you home?
Jim.
How long did he stay?
About half an hour.
You going to see him again?
I don't know... Oh, yes.
He'll be at Peg and Bill's Friday
for dinner.
Then he'll undoubtedly
bring you home.
Possibly. I don't know.
You know what you're
doing, don't you?
Yes. I'm showing you
I won't stay cooped up...
while you're free as a bird...
all in the holy name of career.
Listen, I don't want that guy
in our apartment anymore.
Mm-hmm.
You tell him, or I'll come back
and tell him myself.
If I do, he'll have a tough time...
explaining a busted head
to his patients.
Very well. I'll tell him.
Is that all?
Yeah, that's all.
You're not to
come up here anymore.
People don't think
of this area as being cold.
We have readings
of 15, 18, 20 degrees below.
I'm glad you came in
to see me today, Mr. Eaton.
I'm not always
as talkative as this.
Maybe that's because
I don't run across many...
who are willing to listen.
It's my pleasure, Mr. Benziger.
I mean it.
That's mighty nice of you.
Makes me feel poorly...
about not being in the market
I know how it is breaking in
a new territory.
We've got good days
and bad days.
This happens to be
one of my good ones.
Local folks tell me you've been making
Yes, sir. A little.
If you heard anything disgraceful,
it's probably true.
You down here all by yourself?
Mm-hmm.
Pretty lonesome town.
My wife's back in New York.
Taking care of the kiddies, eh?
No. No kiddies.
Oh.
[Intercom Buzzes]
Excuse me.
Yes?
Well, put her on.
Hello, Natalie.
Oh, uh, let's see. Uh...
in about, oh, 15 minutes.
Yeah, I will.
Oh, hold on a second.
You're alone.
Why don't you join us for dinner?
You won't get as good
a steak anywhere...
I guarantee you.
If that's an invitation,
I'm sold.
Good.
Nat?
Tell Mother I'm bringing
a guest for dinner.
I will.
Bye.
[Barking]
[Barking]
Quiet, Rocco, it's all right, yes.
He can be pretty loud at times.
My wife and daughter...
are alone a good deal at night.
Hello, Dad.
Hi, Nat.
Natalie, this is Mr. Eaton.
How do you do?
Won't you come in?
Oh, Dad.
Like the side of a matchbox.
Can't think why.
I shaved at 5:
00 this morning.
