But only for

the month of October.

But my vacation is the

first two weeks of July.

Is there-

Please, dear Mr. Finley,

Is there a chance

That the duke would let me

charter it for two weeks in July?

I'm terribly sorry

you didn't tell me

Your business on the phone. I

could have saved you the trip.

The duke's

not the owner anymore.

He sold the sea witch.

Oh, no.

I am sorry.

I couldn't be

more disappointed.

Oh, well.

Never mind.

Cheer up. It can't

be helped. Come along.

Here's the deed

not filed yet.

I didn't handle

the transaction.

The new owner's

a Philip Adams.

Well, at least you're assured it

for the first two weeks in July.

You bought it?

It was a bargain.

Well,

did you ever see it?

No, but I saw

the photograph.

Why did you buy it? We only

wanted it for two weeks?

Because it came

with a dock.

That's real estate.

It's very valuable.

I didn't own any

in England.

What's that got to do

with it?

You don't own anything in

Honolulu, Hawaii, either.

Yes, I do. Another fellow and

I own a canning factory there.

You don't understand these thing.

It's called scattering your risk.

You invest

in different places.

Thank you for the tea,

Mr. Finley.

But aren't you

Mr. Adams?

Give my regards

to the duke.

Goodbye, Mr. Finley.

I know why you spend

so much money on me.

Why?

Your conscience.

You feel you have

to make it up to me.

Oh, that's not true.

I buy you presents because

I like to please you.

I wish you didn't

have any money.

I wonder if

I would've said that

If you hadn't just

bought a yacht.

Well, let's believe

you would.

Well, what about this one?

I don't know.

I like the yellow one,

But there's a risk Mrs.

Williams has one like it.

Only thing, I don't know

if she's wearing it tonight.

Why, you'll soon

find that out.

How? You can't ask her.

I wouldn't give her

the satisfaction.

I simply drop in to

see Mrs. Williams' maid,

Chitchat with her while she

lays out Madames things,

And there we are.

You're a genius, Doris.

Ask them what color

dress they're wearing...

she's so happy, Carl.

She's happy now...

but for how long?

What's the matter

with you?

Well, what's

to come of it?

What has to come

of it?

It can't go on like this.

Why not?

A man, a wife,

another woman.

I think about that.

Oh, what

a happy surprise!

You're two hours early!

I took an earlier plane.

Wasn't that

clever of me?

How nice.

Well, how are you?

How are you feeling?

Couldn't be better.

Everything's wonderful.

The play's

going beautifully.

Good.

Oh, when love is right,

everything is right.

Oh, how true.

What can I do for you?

Come have some tea.

No, thank you.

I had some on the plane.

Have some of mine.

Well, if I must.

Well?

Out with it.

What do you mean,

out with it?

The reason

you are early.

Ha ha ha!

You are the most

transparent man I ever saw.

I hope NATO isn't trusting

you with any secrets.

Oh, you'd be surprised.

Let's hear one.

Oh, you would be

surprised, Mata Hari.

Just tell me if it's

unpleasant or not.

I always look at

the end of the book.

I can never wait.

I know.

You have no restraint.

All right. Begin.

Well... well, the secretary

called me into his office,

Sat me down,

and gave me a cigar-

A good cigar.

Ooh, that's nice.

And then?

He wanted to know if Id

accept a change of assignment.

New York.

New York?

Yes. That's what I said-

New York.

Give him his cigar back.

I told him we had an

understanding about my duties.

It would be away,

And it would be inconvenient

for me to change.

Very inconvenient.

Well...

they can't force you.

It isn't like the army.

No, they can't

force me to go.

Well, then

everything's all right.

Don't you dare to scare

me like that again.

You were definite about

refusing, weren't you?

No, darling,

I left it open.

But why?

I wanted your advice.

Well, you have it.

Yes, you see,

I omitted a sidelight.

You do want to hear the case

for both sides, don't you?

Well, not particularly.

The man Id replace

is the author

Of a very complicated

monetary pact.

He's been working on it

for years,

And now it's just about

ready to be closed.

Let him close it.

Well, it takes

a lot of negotiating.

Well, let him.

Well, he intended to.

He was going to New York,

But... he's dying.

He's just found it out.

And now we know,

and we can't let him go.

Oh.

Now what should

I tell the secretary?

Send someone else?

I'm the only man capable

of handling the work.

You can take

my modest word for it.

How long would it be?

Three months.

Perhaps four or five.

Five months?

And you've already said

that you'd go.

It'll go by quicker

than you think.

Oh, that's not true.

Why do people

always say that?

It'll be longer

than I think.

Much longer.

I feel as badly

as you do, darling.

Want to bet?

When do you leave?

There's a whole

commission going.

We're sailing tomorrow

on the Elizabeth.

Tomorrow? It is

as bad as the army.

I know.

And I won't be with you for

your birthday tomorrow night.

And not for

the sea witch either.

You go, dear.

No, not without you.

Oh, Ill miss you so.

Oh, everything is

impossible for us this way.

Philip...

could you possibly get

a divorce and marry me?

Oh, I don't know why

I said... said that.

Oh, please,

please forgive me.

I... I don't know

what came over me.

Anna, please-

I'm so sorry.

I had no right,

and I know that.

Now you'll always

remember that I asked you.

No, no,

it's all right-

Promise me that you'll

put it out of your mind.

You'll forget

that it ever happened.

Promise me

it never happened.

It never happened.

I never said it.

You never said it.

And we'll never refer

to it as long as we live.

All right, darling.

Oh, Ive done it again.

As long as we live-

That's the same thing.

Oh, Philip,

you are free.

You can go

when you please.

I have no strings

on you.

I do love you, Anna.

I don't see how.

Why don't you

get up and leave?

I wouldn't blame you.

Come on.

You're very beautiful

when you cry.

Oh, Im sure.

Pink eyes... pink

eyes are very becoming.

Listen to me.

Tomorrow night at midnight,

Let's drink a toast

to your birthday.

Will you remember?

I'll drink, all right.

At the first stroke

of Big Ben, raise your glass.

Where will you be?

I'd like to picture you.

The fireplace.

That's usual.

I did it

in a play once.

I was wonderful

in it.

Well, that must be

Margaret and Alfred.

They know, of course.

Yes. Alfred feels

very badly about it.

He should.

He was the one who

tricked you into NATO.

Hello, dear.

Hello, Margaret.

Hello, Anna.

Hello, Judas.

There was

no other choice.

I could've given you

a list of names-

Yours on top.

As soon as he told me, Anna,

I said, "why can't you go?"

Her exact words were,

"why in hell can't you go?"

He told me he wasn't

bright enough.

Philip is supposed to be

very clever about money.

I haven't seen

any evidence of it.

I think he's going to
