What do you say?

- I think it's irresponsible.

- Rupert!

- Loosen up.

- Please.

Do it, Rupert.

Well, okay. Why not? I guess. I

don't know.

Then it's all settled.

I don't have any address book.

And I've got to get to a telephone.

I'll need something different

to wear if it's going to be here.

You happy?

Yes, I'm happy.

This is your mothers guest list.

Well I see, in deference to limited

space, she's agreed to leave out...

...the Third World nations.

My mother is a little excited.

It's my first wedding, remember?

- Oh, yes, that's right. You and...

- Jolly.

Jolly. You and Jolly eloped.

That's right.

Gosh, I haven't been in this place

in years.

It's good to have you alone.

- Honey...

- Do you know...

- Say it.

- Go ahead. No, yo...

I just...

...well, I wanted to talk to you

about something.

- Me too.

- Well, go ahead.

I just have a very important

question I would like to ask yo...

- About what?

- Kay? Kay Villano.

Michael. Michael!

- I can eat you alive. Look at you.

- Yeah, look at yo...

You look great! It's been years.

- Let at me you. You look terrific.

Oh, thank you.

What are you doing?

I just got the new Prince show

and I go to Boston!

Oh Michael that's fabulous!

I'm so excited for you!

Look, I'm gonna call you when I get

back in town.

- Okay.

- And we're gonna have lunch.

- Okay?

- Yes.

- Bon appetit.

- Thank yo...

- Scusa. Ciao.

- Bye.

What a guy.

Michael Mennsinger. Fabulous

dancer. You'll just love him.

No doubt.

Anyway... I was saying before...

...that I'm just a little...

Well, scared.

- Rupert.

- But... No, no. About...

Kay?

Is that you honey?

- Kay!

- Mark!

Mark! Oh, God!

How are you? It's been three years.

- Has it been three years?

- Old friends.

- It has! It has been three years.

- God you look better than ever.

- Thank yo...

Let's sneak outta here and go find

ourselves a nice little restaurant.

Oh, she's engaged.

Well, then we'll find ourselves a

loud restaurant.

- Oh, you...

- You come too.

Kay, kid, I got a show to do.

- Bye.

- So good to see yo...

- Oh, so good to see you.

- Bye.

Mark Lewis.

Just a wonderful dancer.

Yeah? Don't you know any bad

dancers? Besides me, I mean.

- Honey, are you jealous?

- Jealous? Why?

Just because you're standing up in

the middle of a...

...restaurant making out

with strangers?

- Don't be silly.

- They're not strangers.

Well, they are to me.

- You're so funny.

- Thanks.

- I've been thinking...

- What?

Would you like to move

into house?

- That house?

- Yes, that house.

- Well, I don't know.

- But you said you liked it.

- Yeah, I know, I know but I was...

- Kay.

Roscoe and Roland!

I can't believe it!

- So good to see you.

- I don't think you're dancer too?

No, I'm just effeminate, thank yo...

Roscoe and Roland, gimme a hug.

One from you and one from yo...

- Gee!

- Scallops. I love 'em.

- Well, you can't have any.

- No, you can't have any.

- You look terrific!

- Thank you. I...

What are you doing?

We just got off the road

"Sophisticated Ladies."

New act together.

- So come and see it.

- Roscoe and Roland.

- Well, I will. "Roscoe and Roland."

- I wouldn't miss it.

- You're gonna be there. Soho.

- Okay, I'll be there. Bye.

- We'll look for yo...

Okay, we'll see yo...

Would anyone else like to make out

with my fiancee?

- Last call.

- Sit down and eat you scallops.

Kay, why didn't you introduce me

to any of them?

Well, I wanted to. They just all

went to by so fast.

What do you think about the house?

You see Kay, this is exactly what

I'm talking about.

There's a whole part of your life

that I don't know anything about.

There's a whole part of your life

that I don't know anything about.

But it's boring.

It doesn't scare you. You're

life scares me and I think...

...that in a healthy marriage,

fear should be equal.

You don't want to

move into the house.

- Well, do you?

- Yes I do.

You could have the third floor and

the rehearsal hall for your...

...research and I could have the

second floor and the, the study...

...I could turn that into a little

work area for myself, because...

...I've been thinking that I ought

to go back to my writing...

...and I could more articles for

Emily's magazine.

It's a wonderful place and it's

gonna be fixed top to bottom.

It's beautiful. You said that. And

we'd never find another place...

- You've been thinking about it.

- Yes, I've been thinking about it.

And you really have your

heart set on it?

Yes I do. I really do.

Okay, fine.

- I love you.

- That's fine.

One more step.

- Right behind you.

- Okay.

Come on Shakespeare. Come on.

Come on.

- Watch out.

- Kay! Kay!

Your mother driving me mad, Kay.

Well, pretend she's your mother and

ignore her.

You're doing a wonderful job. Would

you put the dog in the kitchen?

Here you go. Thanks a lot.

Wait a second.

Okay. Here.

Kay!

Oh, hello mother. I'll be down

in a minute.

Yes but...

Okay, right. Come on.

- You got it?

- Let's go.

Whoops. Excuse me.

- Move that way.

- You got it?

- I got it.

You're okay.

All right. Let's go.

- Let's move.

- All right. All right.

Hi Shakespeare.

It's an illusion boy.

It's an illusion.

Emily warned me. She said to me.

She said...

...if I moved back in the house

certain, certain memories...

...would come back and...

...if I face them...

If I face them, they will...

...go away.

I will open my eyes now and this

particular illusion will be gone.

Not bad for a dead man.

Aren't you going to say hello?

- You're not here.

- Yes I am.

No you're not. You're dead.

- Yeah.

Dead. Yeah, well, I can't argue

with that.

You're not here. He's not here.

It's all right. He's not here.

You're dead. I know you're dead

because I'm a widow.

And I've been widow for three

years. I saw your body.

Everybody saw your body downstairs.

Everybody saw it.

Listen was that, was that

profile or full face?

I should've listened to my mother.

She said this would happen.

I shouldn't have rushed into all

of this.

I'm in here two days and

I'm insane.

All right now.

You just, just calm down.

- Okay?

- Okay.

You see it's not that complicated.

- Oh, it's very simple.

- Right. Just let me explain.

- Yes, please do. Fast!

I'm, uh, I'm what you, uh,

might call a, um...

...a ghost.

Well, that clears it all up.

Oh, now listen calm down.

Pardon me if having a conversation

with my dead husband happens to...

...upset me a little bit.

You always got mad like this if you

didn't understand something.

I hardly ever got mad like this!

- How about the car?

There he goes.

He brings up the car. This is...

Then you pick up something

and throw it at me.

I'm gonna throw this book

at yo...

Oh my god!

Jolly?

That's me.

Why are you here?

I live here.

You?

We're moving back in.

We?

My fiancee and I.

Oh, terrific.

That's fantastic.

We, we, we could probably,

share utilities.

I will insist on my own phone
