- Fine.
Full service or self service?
- Full, Tony.
And I knew
it was a great project.
If the city were willing
to partially finance
my private museum. It would be
And so...
I met with Ron.
Ron...
I toast you.
Are you alright?
I just feel a little dizzy.
I should get some air, I'm nauseous.
I'll take him out.
And Ron felt like I did.
What's the matter?
- I don't know.
Something in my stomach
or my head or my heart or...
Can I do anything?
I can't, this is how Mummy met Daddy.
Let your mind go
and your will follow.
And now let us all move forward
with great enthusiasm
to build the greatest
private museum in the world.
Are you feeling any better?
- Much better, thanks.
Yes, thanks.
We didn't know what to say
so we wandered down Melrose
and had the kind of small talk
necessary to cover what had happened.
The station wants to try serious news
with me as the anchor.
No laughing or chit-chatting.
So there I was
jabbering about my new job,
about anything at all.
But all I thought was:
Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful...
Who wrote the "Tonight Show" theme?
Where will we stay?
Don't bounce. I came to tell you
that I can't go away with you.
I've been seeing someone, and it
wouldn't be good to go away with you.
I'm really sorry.
So, you're seeing her this weekend?
No, she's got this obligation
to her ex, to see if it can work.
- Yes.
She's going away with him.
Share how that makes you feel.
Share? Share? It drives me crazy!
I mean, especially since
I've been working out!
Look at the effort I put in!
But it's fair, since she had
this obligation before we even met.
But you had this obligation.
Why should you suffer all weekend?
No.
- Go away with me.
I can't. I would just be
using you to get even with her.
I don't mind.
- Let's go.
We should be there
in an hour and half.
I booked at the "El Pollo del Mar".
- Beautiful. Wave to Jack! Bye.
A million stars! And the beach...
I want to spin on the beach.
- They have a special beach for that.
And I don't think we should make love.
- Ok, we'll just have sex.
What was Sam Spade's partner's name?
- Archer.
We might meet people at the Ysidero,
I put us in the "El Pollo del Mar".
I'm really excited!
Me too.
Who knew Groucho's secret word?
Groucho's secret word...
I give up.
The Duck? - The Duck knew.
Say the word and divide 100 dollars.
When Wittgenstein's house was built,
language philosophy hit the Bauhaus.
I saw the house not long ago.
Who played "The Beav?"
- Jerry Mathers. - Yes!
"Oh wind, if winter comes, can spring
be far behind?" - Beautiful.
Who was Howdy Doody's closest friend?
- Buffalo Bob.
Fantastic! Do they have a pool?
- Yes! Do you have a pool?
I love this place!
This breeze is great!
It feels great!
- I love hotel sheets, and they feel
so good against your bare skin.
I'll put your bag in here.
Come here first.
Come here again.
Sandy, your breasts feel weird.
- Oh, that's cause they're real.
Let me get this shoe off. My God!
I should warn you,
I'm old and if I take a while...
My God, I'm young again!
It's been great to see you again.
- It's nice seeing you, too.
How are you?
Well, I'm confused.
Hey, listen to this.
- What? - Listen.
What on earth are they doing?
- Oh God, they're going crazy.
Jack told me he wants
to make our relationship exclusive.
He's not gonna go out anymore?
I don't think
he could ever get a date.
Seeing me go out drove him nuts.
What now?
I don't know. I really like him,
even though he's not so smart.
Listen.
- What?
Through the wall.
- What is it? - Somebody's doing it.
How beautiful. - They're really
excited. They must be cheating.
I don't believe it!
Are you staying here? - Yes.
There goes our cover. There are no
secrets anymore. - I think there is.
Roland, this is Sandy.
Sandy, this is Roland, this is Sara.
Where are you headed?
The restaurant.
- Us, too.
Why don't you join us?
- That would be neat. - No,
you guys should be alone. - Don't be
silly. We can't do that. Come on.
What's that clanging sound?
- It's my damn testicles.
Is it okay to spin here?
- Sure.
Shall I get your sweater?
I'm cold. - Yes, thanks.
I'll run and get it.
Harris, want to come with me?
- Sure.
Actually, I'll stay here.
Back in a flash!
You liar!
- I come here thinking
you're with your ex, and you're
really giving it to my best friend!
Your best friend? You've
never even seen him without me!
There's a bond among men!
Anyway, there's two liars here.
- Roland is my ex!
Okay, one.
- Hey, watch!
Great!
- Thank you!
You just broke up with someone?
How do you know that? - When men just
break up with someone, they always
run around with someone much younger.
- She'll be 27 in 4 years.
I'm with her but only think about you.
Is that why you f***ed her today?
Yes!
I know that doesn't make sense.
But you almost broke through our wall!
You know how that made me feel?
- You didn't even know it was me!
Yeah...
but I projected back when I found out.
Coming!
So close, we're this close to it!
Stay here in L.A.
What? How would it work?
We'd see each other,
take it easy at first and then...
marriage, kids, old age, and death.
What if I were to go?
All I know is, on the day your plane
was to leave, if I had the power,
I would turn the winds around,
roll in the fog,
I would change the polarity of
the earth so compasses couldn't work,
so your plane couldn't take off.
This is everything I didn't want.
Pain... lying... complications.
I'm hot from running now.
Let's all walk down to the pier.
- Cool.
Do you ever wonder why the water
doesn't fly up into the sky?
Do you want this in the trunk
or up front? - That... up front.
What's the matter? You ok?
- Oh, sorry... I'm okay.
I've been working on Sara to come
back with me. I'm her ex-husband.
England and America are different.
The English keep civil relations
with their ex's.
The Americans sue them.
She told me today it's not right.
Really? - Evidently,
she's been seeing some American.
That can happen.
- She's not going with him either.
She's going back to London
as soon as she can.
Pity,
I so wanted this to work out.
I wanted a relationship, you know,
like you and Sandy have.
I've been thinking.
I can be a man worth staying for.
First, I can cry. Usually,
it's when I'm hurt, but it's a start.
I know there's something
that would make you stay!
The right word, attitude, plan...
but these are all tricks!
So let's forego that!
Let's assume that it happened,
that my hand went down
your throat,
grabbed your heart and squoze it!
There comes a time
when it's now or never!
It's now or never! Listen to a poem.
"Oh pointy birds, oh pointy,
pointy, anoint..."
And now, here's
Morris Frost with a cinema review.
The film, "Sliced Up Mommy,"
is an effort to intertwine
