- I'm sorry.

- Cathryn? What happened?

- Are you ok?

- I dropped the bottle.

I just dropped the bottle

of vermouth.

Son of a b*tch, Cathryn.

Are you crazy, Marcel?

For God's sake!

Oh, look at him.

He's gonna kill me.

Like to throw you

on the floor...

...and take you right here.

My God. He's my replacement...

- Hugh?

- Or at least one of them.

Would you marinate the steaks?

Sure. Hey!

Get back to that fire,

you old crotch.

- Well?

- What?

- Where are they?

- What?

The steaks?

I don't know.

You did the shopping.

I didn't get any steaks.

Oh. Well, what are we going

to have for dinner, then?

- Spaghetti and salad.

- Spaghetti and salad?

Yes!

Spaghetti and salad!

I was just kidding.

I got the steaks.

Can't you take a joke?

- Where are you going?

- Upstairs!

Go away.

Please leave me alone.

Oh, Susannah.

I'm sorry. I thought

it was my husband.

I need to go to the bathroom.

Of course. It's in here.

I don't know

if I put any towels in.

Oh, yes.

Dinner was over.

Only the nuts roasted...

3 years I've been trying to get

custody of the child...

...and I finally did it.

Christ knows what it cost.

When I first

came up here to paint...

...it never occurred to me that

that adoring wife of mine...

was screwing everything

she could find.

It took me 2 years

to find out what was happening.

Finally,

I caught her red-handed...

"I expect you're longing

to hear the rest...

"of the history," he said.

With a friend of mine, too.

Extraordinary.

I'd be most enormously grateful

if you didn't interrupt.

That's when I came

up here for good...

...and that b*tch got a divorce.

You think she'd let Susannah

come up to me for the summer?

Very carefully...

...he took the thinking stone...

...from his pocket.

No way.

So I put detectives on her.

That's right.

A year and a half,

I had her followed.

Back with a rush...

...tumbled all the things he'd

learnt in his history class.

It cost me a fortune...

...but I got the lot...

...tapes, pictures...

...year-and-a-half's evidence

with 16 different men.

No ounce of fear,

no dream of future...

God knows how many we missed.

Takes me around

to question...

...friend or foe...

Talk about the 1,001 nights

of Sodom.

I've got my own dirty book...

...and last month,

I threw it at her.

I said, "either I get Susannah

for a year now...

"and then every summer

after that...

"or I take the whole

damn thing to court."

Marcel...

Susannah's awake.

All right, darling?

You've been asleep.

Your father's here.

Did you take a nap, baby?

It's late for little girls.

Come on.

I'll take you out to the car.

Shouldn't we...

Hadn't we better wake him?

Let him sleep.

Don't!

Open the door.

Grab the rest of her things.

You stay asleep now, baby, huh?

Bring those things.

Help me with the door here.

You stay asleep, now.

That's right.

In you go.

There you go.

That's it, now.

Where the hell

do you think you're going?

I'm going inside. I'm cold.

What's the matter with you?

They're both asleep...

Marcel, what the hell

do you think you're doing?

For God's sake!

That's better, you b*tch.

Listen!

You listen to me!

Just stay away

from me, you hear?

I love my husband...

...and that's what

I'm going to do from now on.

I've been sick. I'm sick!

But I'm going to go in there,

and I love him...

...and I'm going to show him

I love him!

I'm going to just

go in and tell him...

...and just keep away!

Hugh?

Wake up, Hugh.

Wake up. Hugh, I need you.

Wake up, please.

- They've gone.

- Oh, yeah?

Talk to me.

Make love to me.

Make love to me.

Sit with me here, please.

Stay with me

and make love, please.

I need you.

God, I have such a crick

in my neck.

Hugh.

Hugh, please.

Don't go.

Hugh, don't go, please.

Stay with me.

Put out the candles

before you come up, huh, baby?

Cathy.

Come on. Come in here.

There was a lot of traffic.

- Cars and...

- Go on.

Sit down.

Beautiful windows.

- Fire.

- Do you like it?

- It's lovely.

- Look at me.

Look at me.

- Could I have...

- Look.

Could I have a drink?

Do you want a whiskey?

Yes. Shall I get some glasses?

Do you have any?

I have some.

You don't want anything

to drink... Any wine?

I didn't say I would

definitely come here.

You knew you would come here.

Please, Marcel.

Don't be so rough.

Have you been here long?

Come give me a kiss.

I'm cold.

What do you mean, cold?

Do you want a drink?

Yes. I think I'll have

some of this wine.

- Hi, baby.

- You're back soon.

I didn't expect you this soon.

I was at the office,

and I was thinking about you...

Hugh, I'm a little cold.

I'll just close the window.

Aren't you cold?

Please,

let's get some champagne.

It's a marvelous idea.

I'll get some glasses.

But not downstairs.

Right here.

Don't give me a baby.

I want a baby.

Cathryn! Cathryn, baby...

What's the matter?

Are you all right?

Cathryn!

What is it, baby? Jesus.

- I saw! I saw...

- What?

Did you have a dream, baby?

Come back to bed.

Come on, now. Come on.

Come back to bed.

Hello! Anybody home?

- Coming!

- You left your door open.

Morning, Marcel.

Hope we're not late.

I had a hell of a time...

...getting out of bed this morning.

- Good morning, Susannah.

- How about you?

Oh, I feel marvelous

this morning.

I'm just making some breakfast.

- Would you like some?

- Just coffee.

Susannah,

what about you? Breakfast?

No, thank you.

She's been up since 7:00.

Made her own breakfast

and everything.

You're daddy's big girl,

aren't you?

Why don't you

go outside and play?

Oh, isn't it a little cold?

It's not cold...

...but I'd rather stay

and do the puzzle. Can I?

Yes, of course.

You know where it is.

Hugh will be down in a minute.

What got into you last night?

What?

Maybe I should have said "who?"

Jumpy.

Yes, I am a little jumpy.

Just leave me alone,

will you, Marcel?

We're in here.

Boy, did I sleep last night!

It's the fresh air, they say.

- Sure you wouldn't like an egg?

- No, no. Just toast and coffee.

Well, whatever it is...

I'd like a steady diet of it.

You like cream

in your coffee, Marcel?

- Black for me.

- What did you do with Susannah?

I brought her. I thought

I'd leave her with Cathryn...

while we went out

after the birds.

Terrific. Hey...

You know how

to catch a polar bear?

You cut a hole in the ice.

Put some green peas

around the hole.

When the bear comes up

to take a pea...

...you kick him in the ice hole.

You must be happy

to be spending a whole year...

with your father.

I am. I hardly ever got

to see him before.

But I love my mother, too.

Well, of course.

She still loves

my father, too...

...only she won't act like it.

I guess men are that way,

and you have to accept it.

What way?

They just don't stay in love

very long.

My mother has lots

of boyfriends...

...and they never last very long.

My father and mother

were divorced.

I grew up in Green Cove

with my grandfather.

- I never saw him.
