Half Moon Street Page #5

Im here with someone else.

You should've called

the Jasmine Agency.

Twilley could have

found you a date.

Very funny.

I called you,

but apparently you were out.

I was unavailable.

What does that mean?

-Good night.

-Good night.

I get it. This is a setup.

Really?

Unfortunately, I can't get

hold of you any other way.

Oh, yes.

Ill come by later.

Ill tuck you in,

and Ill explain everything.

They put me in

the f***ing maid's room.

-Oh, dear.

-Ill come to you.

All right.

That was a very roundabout way

of getting me into bed.

Very roundabout and very safe.

It would be so much easier

in Half Moon Street.

My dear, Im a security risk

even coming here.

You're killing yourself

with that stuff.

That's the least of my worries.

I suppose you've been going

to bed with lots of men.

I haven't been in bed

with anyone for weeks.

You're joking.

On a table, on a chair,

on an exercise bike...

in the bathroom,

but almost never in bed.

What's it like

on an exercise bike?

Imagination fails me.

Well, they watch mostly.

-Sometimes they take pictures.

-And in the bathroom?

Someone was shaving me.

-It doesn't look as if--

-I only let him trim it.

-What was he? A hairdresser?

-You don't really want to know.

-Were you scared?

-No.

Im always in control.

-Am I turning you on again?

-Yes.

Look at the garbage

these people eat.

Their colons must be a mess.

Sam.

Yes?

You know,

I don't usually like...

spending the night

with someone...

but I like it with you.

Do you often get nice,

young Rex to cover for you?

Well, he's very devoted to me...

but Ive never asked him

anything like that before, no.

I apologize for last night.

People were beastly to you.

Yes, they were.

This whole country house

scene is a drag.

-Sam.

-Yeah?

Let's get the f*** out of here.

Without telling my friends?

Just like that?

You call these a**holes friends?

All right. Let's go.

I think you'll need these, sir.

Wait a minute.

That's not Bulbeck in the Rolls.

Christ! We lost him.

There's something

we have to discuss, Sam.

Security.

That's Haldane's baby.

They mean you, Lord Bulbeck.

Why should anyone go after me?

They asked me in.

Not everyone wants

this meeting to happen.

This is hardly the place

to talk about it.

Milord, messieurs?

Claret--anything

that goes with duck.

Lord Blueback always

has a bottle...

of Santenay '79 with his duck.

Sam, he's waiting

for you to decide.

Oh, yeah, that will be fine,

Rene, if there's any left.

I always keep a bottle

for Lord Blueback.

He'll get my name right one day.

Sam, Ive never seen you drink

Perrier and lime before.

Im also thinking of

becoming a vegetarian.

Well, it's 2:
30 a.m. and our

guest tonight is Frank Trebor.

Now, Frank, after

your third divorce...

you're now a bachelor again.

How does it feel?

Miserable.

I just feel miserable.

Hi. This is 750-0360.

Im out right now,

but if you'll leave a message...

Ill get back to you

as soon as I can.

Lord Bulbeck.

You know this charming lady?

She speaks our language

perfectly.

She has many talents,

Ambassador.

Excuse me, Mr. Ambassador.

There are some people over here

who would like to meet you.

-Well?

-Well, what?

-How did it end the other night?

-What night?

The Connaught Grill 2 days ago.

Awfully young, wasn't he,

to have to go to an agency?

You weren't in at 3:00 a.m.

That was you who called

all those times...

and never left a message?

How much did you charge,

or was his charm sufficient?

Its none of

your business, is it?

Mr. Van Arkady.

-Hello.

-How nice to see you.

-Lord Bulbeck.

-Hello, Hugo.

I hear your conference

the other day...

was a terrific success.

She's putting new life into

the Middle Eastern Institute.

An amazing performance.

I want to hear all about it.

Excuse us, Hugo.

Mr. Van Arkady,

nice to meet you.

What do you think you're doing?

Is he one of your clients, too?

Who's that tall girl

with Lord Bulbeck?

Haven't you heard?

He hires them by the hour.

Past the museum, turn left...

then you go down to the end

and you'll find it, all right?

How totally

out of character, Sam.

Im touched.

I take it peace

has been declared.

An honourable truce.

Let's go somewhere next weekend.

-Its my birthday.

-I know.

Virgo. So it's on, OK?

No Mauras, no Rexes,

no Raffertys...

no bodyguard, just us?

Dr. Slaughter,

you just got yourself a deal.

Hello, Sam? Hi.

Ive got everything, so where

are you going to pick me up?

Ive been trying

to reach you all day.

Something's come up.

The weekend's off.

Its a last-minute thing

I have, really.

I suppose Ill read about it

in the newspapers.

Oh, I certainly hope not.

Listen, Ill be back on Monday.

Why don't we have a quiet

birthday dinner together--

just the two of us?

-You mean, Half Moon Street?

-Where else?

Alone?

That was the general idea.

I can't wait.

Hi. This is 750-0360.

Im out right now,

but if you'll leave a message...

Ill get back to you

as soon as l can.

Hi, this is Sam.

There's been a hitch. Im sorry.

Im on my way to catch a plane.

I have to be

in Geneva next week.

There's a lovely hotel

on the lake nearby.

Sam!

Rex will arrange everything.

Hello?

Happy birthday, Lauren.

I thought you people

didn't drink.

Well, this Arab does.

And may the coming year

fulfil all our expectations.

I almost forgot.

A little something

for your birthday.

Karim.

A memento of your new life.

A token of our friendship.

A half moon. Oh, it's lovely.

May I?

How thoughtful.

And here is to your Geneva trip.

How did you know

I was going to Geneva?

''Chateau des Contes

D'Artois on Lake Geneva.''

This is yours, isn't it?

''Squash, tennis, a health spa.''

Trying to lose weight,

Dr. Slaughter?

And here is to your Geneva trip.

How did you know

I was going to Geneva?

''Chateau des Contes

D'Artois on Lake Geneva.''

You have to put

real punch into that swing.

Gilbert Sonval.

My friends call me Sonny.

Maybe you should

take some lessons.

-I hate lessons.

-Here, let me show you.

Excusez-moi, Madame Weller.

You are wanted on the phone.

Thank you. Ill be right back.

Sam?

Im still in Geneva,

but Ill be late.

How late?

Ill try and sneak out

tomorrow afternoon.

So, dinner tomorrow night?

You better be here.

You have my word.

OK.

How about some lunch?

No, thanks. Im pooped.

Im just going to go back

to my room and...have an apple.

Do you have two apples?

Thanks for the lesson.

Who is it?

-That's for you.

-Thank you.

Now you have two apples.

Bon soir!

Any messages?

I don't think so, madame.

Oh, Im sorry.

Monsieur Weller called.

Thank you.

-Hi.

-Hi.

Hey.

If you're interested, there are

a couple of apples left.

You know, Sonny,

Ive never had one before.

But some women

never have one, ever.

I mean a spinal massage.

That's enough, thanks.

Would you get me

a towel, please?

Sonny, let's have dinner

later, OK? About 8:30.

-Can you ring 21, please?
