Where are you taking me?
Where am I?
- I don't know. I'm blindfolded too.
- Davis!
- I'm just kidding. We're almost there.
- Almost where?
You are so nuts!
We're here.
What is this?
- Will you marry me?
- What?
Becky, I have loved you
since the 9th grade. Marry me.
You bought this house?
Bought it?
I'm an architect!
I designed it!
I built it!
You built this house...
for me?
For us.
- You are so nuts!
- And you are so sane. It's perfect!
This is like something
out of a fairy tale.
So, will you?
No.
I now dedicate this building
to the great city of Boston.
Bravo.
- Congratulations.
Thank you so much.
Thank you, Frank.
Gentlemen, welcome to the Budapest.
Drink up.
Everybody, more champagne.
Welcome to the Budapest.
Haven't seen you in a long time.
Welcome to the Budapest.
Have a great time.
Ah, Mr. Moseby, welcome
to The Cafe Budapest.
I still think it's a boring building,
no matter how you look at it.
The absolute best thing about this
building, in two words, "billable hours."
- But did you enjoy doing it? Whoa.
- That didn't factor in.
- Whoa! Whoa!
- Okay, okay.
- Where are you from?
- Eh?
Where are you from?
- Are you from Hungary?
- Yes, Hungary.
- He wants to know if you speak English.
- Uh?
- He said,
"Are you ticklish? Do you spank?"
Marty!
Gwen is
to be called Gwen.
Go, go, go. Work, work, work.
Enjoy the party, gentlemen.
Enjoy the party.
- She liked you.
- What are you talking about?
You just gotta make it happen, Davis.
- Hi, Davis.
- Hi, Mr. Calvin.
Becky is over.
That was months ago.
- You've gotta find a way to transcend.
- Yeah, but how?
- Get laid.
- Marty, you're my most disgusting friend.
How about Denise?
What about Patricia?
- I know she had the hots for you.
- What are the hots?
Moseby, eleven o'clock.
Hi, Mr. Moseby. Congratulations
- Thank you, Marty.
Everyone has a right to feel proud.
Absolutely.
I don't know if it's the champagne
talking or not, but I wanna say,
your leadership has been an inspiration
to all of us on the project.
- I hope I've not embarrassed you.
- Not at all.
- Mr. Moseby, congratulations.
Very good job.
Charlie, thank you.
- I don't know if you know Davis
from the firm?
Davis.
Mr. Moseby.
Uh, the building...
Wow!
It's there.
Yes?
Uh, you know that Boston Bank building
I've stood on the sidewalk
for hours absorbing that structure.
- Thank you, Davis.
Don't you think we should be going
for that kind of originality...
instead of these same designs
over and over,
this cookie-cutter
architecture?
Don't you feel we're just
going through the motions?
We are the largest
architectural firm in New England.
Evidently some people
like what we do.
Are you insane?
Why didn't you kick him in the balls
and tell him he has ugly children?
I thought he'd appreciate
He's the boss!
If I could find the right doctor,
I'd have my lips sewn to his ass.
We're different.
- Yes. Come Monday,
I will still have a job.
Hi, Mr. Simpson.
Is Gwen, yes? I remember
beautiful Gwen from Hungary...
who speaks no English.
That is a drawing of
an engagement ring,
which I designed
and even built.
But, as engagement rings go,
it turned out to be a little, you know,
"big" for the lady.
What do you say, Gwen?
"Gwhen" do you get off...
and "gwhere" can we "gwo"?
- Oh God.
- Good night, kiddo.
- Good night.
- I'll take care of opening tomorrow.
Oh, you will?
I can sleep.
- Oh, I love you.
- No sweat.
Cao.
- Hey, guys!
- Hey, Gwen.
Come on, chop-chop.
Let's get home.
Taxi!
Good night, little Howie.
Hey,
you tricked me.
Why were you pretending
to be Hungarian?
- Ambience.
- Ambience, yeah. But you still tricked me.
- I didn't trick you. I deceived you.
- What's the difference?
- Intention.
- Intention?
- Are you a law student or something?
- Hey!
I guessed it? You're a law student?
Where do you go to school?
Don't you mean
"gwhere" do I go to school?
I, I admit, I was
a little condescending.
Yeah, when you thought
I was just a waitress.
- I'm sorry. I apologize.
- I'm not a law student.
Why'd you tell me
you were a law student?
I didn't. You told me I was a law student.
I just told you I wasn't a law student.
Listen!
Listen, can...
can we go somewhere?
- Get coffee or something?
- No, I really have to get home.
Share my cab.
I could give you a lift.
Thank you very much,
but it's real close.
I'll walk you.
I could use some air.
Okay.
There's all these cities
I want to live in before I die,
and Boston happened to be one.
There's New York, which is
where I came up here from.
Before that there was Seattle, San
Francisco, Santa Fe, New Orleans,
- Akron.
- Akron?
Yeah, well...
It was a detour, you know.
But I lived there
so I count it.
Before that, there was
Toledo, where I grew up.
- Gosh, I've never lived anywhere.
- How can you never live anywhere?
Well, just here
and Dobb's Mill.
That's where I grew up.
It's about 50 miles from here.
It's one of those
white-picket-fence sort of towns,
with your basic church steeple,
town square,
and big firemen's
pancake breakfasts.
All the kids
grew up together.
you know what I mean?
- Sure. So is that where she's from?
- Who?
The babe who thought the house
was too big for her finger.
Oh, Becky.
No, no, that's over.
I bet you still have
her picture in your wallet.
- Get outta there. Get outta my...
- C'mon, let me see.
Hey, you knocked me
into the water there.
- Who cares about wallet photos?
- You could go to jail for this.
No, that's her
in the 6th grade.
I got a more up-to-date.
Let's see, 7th grade, 8th grade, 9th...
Let me just jump ahead.
That's Becky, but it's over, believe me.
Did you see that picture?
Was she a cute baby?
Is that funny?
Anyway...
Here's her driver's license.
She was gonna throw this away.
I said, "Are you crazy?
That's a cute picture."
Anyway, I don't even
go up there anymore.
ribbon off the house, right?
You mean you still own it
and nobody's living in it?
Yeah, it's a waste, huh?
It's just so nice up there,
especially this time of the year
with the leaves changing.
And it's got this wraparound porch
that looks onto a pond.
And in the living room, it's got these
switchback stairs that go up to a loft.
Sorry, I still get
I mean,
I don't use it, but...
- But what?
- I just can't bring myself to sell it.
It's like I'm stuck where I am,
like I can't change it.
- Did you ever feel like that?
- No.
- No?
- No, I...
I change myself
all the time.
If things aren't workin' out,
I change what I do, change where I live,
I change myself.
- You're Hungarian one minute
and a law student the next.
