"Rosalie, that boy's secretlyjealous

of our relationship.

732

00:
56:48,528 -- 00:56:51,224

He's going through

the usual Oedipus period. '"

733

00:
56:51,297 -- 00:56:53,765

My mother's name was Rosalie,

and, to tell you the truth...

734

00:
56:53,833 -- 00:56:56,427

- I never wanted to go to bed with her at all.

- [ Laughs ]

735

00:
56:56,503 -- 00:56:59,097

- And I'm not really complaining about her.

- No, no. Of course not.

736

00:
56:59,172 -- 00:57:01,732

It's only when she sent

my tennis shoes off in a bundle...

737

00:
57:01,808 -- 00:57:04,174

- to the striking miners in Virginia, I mean-

- [ Laughs ]

738

00:
57:04,244 -- 00:57:06,838

I wished them luck,

but why the miners wanted...

739

00:
57:06,913 -- 00:57:10,314

a pair of size-seven junior tennis shoes,

I couldn't figure out.

740

00:
57:10,383 -- 00:57:12,977

A good woman.

[ Laughs ]

741

00:
57:13,052 -- 00:57:16,818

You're not good, are you,

by any horrible chance?

742

00:
57:16,890 -- 00:57:20,348

Good? No. Certainly not.

743

00:
57:20,426 -- 00:57:24,419

- You didn't decide on the main course, madam.

- Oh.

744

00:
57:24,497 -- 00:57:26,692

Grass-fed, prime, succulent steak...

745

00:
57:26,766 -- 00:57:30,463

or the chef's dream of a butter-tossed,

golden, free-swimming, morning-

746

00:
57:30,537 -- 00:57:32,801

Uh, th-that'll be fine.

747

00:
57:32,872 -- 00:57:35,102

- All right.

- We can have the fish tonight.

748

00:
57:35,175 -- 00:57:39,202

- [ Thinking ] Wrong.

- [ Thinking ] Moving in.

749

00:
57:39,279 -- 00:57:41,645

More subtle than Ruth, naturally,

more gentle...

750

00:
57:41,714 -- 00:57:43,841

but still moving in.

751

00:
57:43,917 -- 00:57:46,044

[ Thinking ]

"We can eat the fish this evening.''

752

00:
57:46,119 -- 00:57:48,519

That's what you say

when you've been married for years.

753

00:
57:48,588 -- 00:57:51,523

[ Thinking ]

She said it as if we'd been married for years.

754

00:
57:51,591 -- 00:57:54,116

[ Thinking ]

Am I out of my head, involving myself...

755

00:
57:54,194 -- 00:57:56,287

with a character who plays tennis?

756

00:
57:56,362 -- 00:57:58,353

What kind of a future's in that?

Rah! Rah! Rah, rah, rah!

761

00:
58:36,169 -- 00:58:39,696

Might not even

be here tonight.

762

00:
58:39,772 -- 00:58:43,333

Nope. That's right.

763

00:
58:43,409 -- 00:58:47,778

[ Thinking ] Much better.

Take her out somewhere and then, um-

764

00:
58:47,847 -- 00:58:50,782

Well, if it doesn't work out,

I can drop her at her place.

765

00:
58:52,485 -- 00:58:55,750

Anyway, I might even

be busy tonight.

766

00:
58:57,824 -- 00:59:01,260

I, uh, thought we might

go out somewhere, possibly.

767

00:
59:01,327 -- 00:59:03,420

Possibly.

768

00:
59:03,496 -- 00:59:06,522

Get some fresh air,

see how you look in front of trees.

769

00:
59:06,599 -- 00:59:09,625

I got asked to a party later on,

but you might not wanna go.

770

00:
59:09,702 -- 00:59:13,035

No. I might not.

771

00:
59:13,106 -- 00:59:15,700

Kind of a wide-open invitation.

772

00:
59:15,775 -- 00:59:17,402

I hate parties.

773

00:
59:17,477 -- 00:59:19,945

Can't help it.

I'm not cut out for it.

774

00:
59:20,013 -- 00:59:24,006

The mind wanders.

I always want to vanish from parties.

775

00:
59:29,622 -- 00:59:32,648

- [ Gasps ]

- Good morning.

776

00:
59:32,725 -- 00:59:37,094

- How long have you been here?

- Went to a party last night.

777

00:
59:37,163 -- 00:59:40,223

You should be more careful.

I sometimes drive the kids to school.

778

00:
59:40,300 -- 00:59:42,393

- [ Engine Starts ]

- Yeah, well...

779

00:
59:42,468 -- 00:59:44,902

you ought to leave

your car locked then.

780

01:
00:00,392 -- 01:00:03,418

The party was dreadful.

781

01:
00:03,495 -- 01:00:06,896

But I met this nice boy,

and we sneaked off to the kids' playroom.

782

01:
00:06,965 -- 01:00:09,195

Played Ping-Pong, drew pictures.

783

01:
00:09,267 -- 01:00:11,326

It was really fun.

784

01:
00:11,403 -- 01:00:15,203

Some lady kept shouting upstairs,

"What's going on up there, children?

785

01:
00:15,273 -- 01:00:17,503

Will you please go to bed?''

786

01:
00:17,575 -- 01:00:20,703

- Actually, we didn't.

- Really?

787

01:
00:20,779 -- 01:00:24,306

- Then finally he said he'd take me home.

- Your home?

788

01:
00:25,517 -- 01:00:28,509

Uh- Uh-

789

01:
00:29,587 -- 01:00:31,680

Not exactly, no.

790

01:
00:31,756 -- 01:00:35,214

But, um, on the way,

we passed by your car.

791

01:
00:35,293 -- 01:00:38,751

And I said, " Leave me here

if you value your life.

792

01:
00:38,830 -- 01:00:40,957

" My husband is insanely jealous.

793

01:
00:41,032 -- 01:00:44,229

And what's more,

he's a crack clay pigeon shot.''

794

01:
00:44,302 -- 01:00:47,965

- I was your husband?

- Last night, you were.

795

01:
00:48,039 -- 01:00:51,805

When he heard that, he dropped me off

like I had the plague or something.

796

01:
00:54,946 -- 01:00:57,676

Then I just sort of

got in here and sat.

797

01:
00:59,384 -- 01:01:02,478

It was a beautiful sunrise.

I wish you'd seen it.

798

01:
01:04,456 -- 01:01:06,515

Then I guess I fell asleep.

799

01:
01:09,060 -- 01:01:12,052

What are you gonna do now?

800

01:
01:12,130 -- 01:01:14,155

I think...

801

01:
01:14,232 -- 01:01:17,065

I'll buy you kippers

at the Plaza Hotel.

802

01:
01:17,135 -- 01:01:19,660

- Kippers! Perfect!

- Hey, hey.

803

01:
01:19,738 -- 01:01:21,831

[ Laughs ]

Just what I got in here for.

804

01:
01:21,906 -- 01:01:23,999

Careful, you nut.

805

01:
01:31,383 -- 01:01:33,783

I've gotta talk to Elizabeth.

806

01:
01:33,852 -- 01:01:36,412

I mean, for God's sake,

everybody gets divorced these days.

807

01:
01:39,657 -- 01:01:42,558

I don't like to think about that.

808

01:
01:44,195 -- 01:01:46,288

At least I could give you a home.

809

01:
01:46,364 -- 01:01:50,767

One could live quite comfortably

in a Mercedes.

810

01:
01:50,835 -- 01:01:54,566

I don't know what you want.

I don't know what you're looking for.

811

01:
01:56,207 -- 01:01:59,176

- Brilliant.

- Let's eat.

- Yeah.

818

01:
02:17,962 -- 01:02:22,058

The great thing is, if men can cook at all,

women think it's wonderful.

819

01:
02:22,133 -- 01:02:25,227

- Well, it is.

- No, it's really a legend.

820

01:
02:25,303 -- 01:02:27,635

- Like sex and black men.
