Match Point Page #5

- Put it on the expense account, so...

- Very well.

...do call.

- Very good. Yeah, yeah.

- All right.

- Bye.

- Oh, my God.

- Right there.

- She's got glasses on.

- But why on earth?

Why on earth would

your mother invite her here?

She met her at the supermarket

yesterday and invited her...

- The supermarket?

- Yes.

- Can you play the piano?

- No, I'm terrible at the piano.

- So, when are you two getting married?

- Mummy!

- Oh, gosh, Eleanor!

- Oh, don't look so surprised.

Stop it.

You've been like two peas

in a pod for a long time now.

Don't tell me the subject

hasn't come up.

- Mummy, come with me.

- Oh, dear.

You need a strong cup of coffee.

Come on.

Eleanor doesn't hold back

when she's had a few.

Look, it's a reasonable question.

Chloe and I have discussed it.

Eleanor and I would be delighted

to welcome you to the family.

Tom would love

having you as a brother-in-law,

and whatever you two need,

you can always rely on us.

I appreciate that.

Darling, one second.

I just think we...

You two have met, haven't you?

I'm sure you've met.

I'm sorry. Who'd have thought?

What, that we were

hiding in the pantry?

It was all her fault, you know.

Like, how can I help it if she

gets turned on by sexual intimacy

in places that we know

we're gonna get caught?

You were... You!

The risky business was your idea.

All men who see you want to attack you.

Isn't that right, Christopher?

Oh, God, are you all right?

I'm fine.

I shouldn't drink on an empty stomach.

I now pronounce you man and wife.

You may kiss the bride.

Oh, my God.

- This is incredible.

- Isn't it?

- What's up here?

- That's the bedroom.

There's another bedroom through there.

The bathroom and a kitchen.

- Little terrace.

- Wow.

- But look at this view.

- Oh, it's breathtaking.

- I just... wish I could afford it.

- Oh, don't bring that up again.

You know it gives Papa pleasure to help.

Come on.

The light coming through every day.

It's beautiful. But it's huge!

I'm gonna get lost in here or something.

- Did I tell you I'm scared of heights?

- Really?

- Yeah.

- That could be a problem.

I want you to make me pregnant.

Chloe... We discussed this.

It's very quick.

It's not quick, we've been

sleeping together for ages.

And I want three children,

and I want them when I'm young.

Come on, you can do it,

you've got a powerful serve.

Hey! Where are you?

I know, I know. I'm sorry.

Not good.

Listen, I've got to tell you something.

What?

Well, Nola and I...

...broke up.

- No!

- Yeah.

Or, I should say, I called it off.

I thought you were gonna get married.

Yeah, well,

it's rather embarrassing to say

but I think Mother rather

poisoned the well on that one.

Not that I have any intention

in marrying Olivia sodding Allred,

who's her main candidate.

God, no.

I'm sorry. I don't understand.

I suppose the whole truth,

nothing but the truth,

so help me God,

part of the situation is, is that...

...l've met someone else.

- No!

- Yeah.

I met someone and I fell in love,

and I just knew right away.

Although the fact that my mother

is in seventh heaven about her,

I keep trying to tell myself

isn't a factor, but...

You know what I mean.

The number you are calling

is not available.

The number you are calling

is not available.

Excuse me.

- Are you looking for Miss Rice?

- Yes.

She's gone. Saw her yesterday.

She's given up the apartment.

- Did she say where?

- Not to me.

- Thanks.

- That's all right.

- What are you thinking about?

- Nothing.

Just business.

You know it's been over a week

since we made love.

Oh, Chloe, I'm beat.

- Am I being rejected?

- Of course not.

OK, I can take a hint.

Meanwhile, I don't know what's wrong.

All my cousins get pregnant so easily.

Look...

...it'll happen.

I'm just really tired.

Kiss.

Sweet dreams.

I now pronounce you man and wife.

You may kiss the bride.

Just in time.

I'm almost starting to show.

Well, you have

to see a fertility doctor.

Well, you have

to see a fertility doctor.

I know.

- We've tried everything.

- What about this?

His brushstrokes are really intense,

aren't they?

- Yeah, I don't like it.

- No.

- Would you ever consider adopting?

- No, absolutely not.

I want my own children.

This one?

Sort of...

Did I tell you Victoria Phyfe

is pregnant?

Really?

- She's so happy.

- Whoa.

Her and her husband

just found each other.

All their neuroses

intertwine so perfectly,

and itjust works like a charm.

After all their unhappy relationships,

they met during a traffic accident.

- God...

- I know, it's great.

Well, our lawyers

are going over it as we speak.

You'll have a daft by Friday. I promise.

If I have to work all night.

OK.

Thank you. Thanks.

Samantha,

can I have two aspirin, please?

Thanks.

Are you OK, sir?

Tell me, Samantha,

do you ever feel claustrophobic in here?

No, not really.

Oh, Christ!

I've got to meet my wife

at the Tate Modern.

There's a new painter

she wants to show me.

If they call back, Samantha,

tell them Friday.

Not before.

Good night.

- Chris.

- Oh, I was looking for you.

- Hi, Carol.

- Hi, Chris.

- How are you, darling?

- Good.

They've got the most

amazing new artists here.

Yeah?

I want you to see

this woman from St. Ives.

- Oh, yes.

- Look, where are you going to be?

Why?

I have to make a phone call,

and I can't get any reception down here.

Well, we'll be over there.

But hurry, 'cause they're closing soon.

I'm coming.

- OK.

- OK.

Hello.

What a surprise.

I...

- I moved back into town.

- I didn't know you'd left town.

Yeah, I was really upset

about everything that happened,

so I just went back to America

to look for a job.

- I thought you hated that place?

- Anyplace but here.

I looked for you.

For what?

You're still so angry.

Where are you living?

In town. Why?

You live alone?

Why are you asking me these questions,

aren't you still married?

Can I meet you for a drink?

Talk?

Where can I reach you? Come on.

- My goodness. Hello.

- Hi, darling.

Look who I bumped into.

- Hi.

- Hi.

- How are you?

- I'm good. How are you?

- You look great.

- Thanks.

- How's Tom?

- He's fine.

- Really well.

- Yeah, I heard he got married.

Yeah. They've got a baby.

You know Tom, all settled down.

- OK, I think I've found it.

- Do you two know each other?

This is my friend Carol.

This is Nola.

- Hi.

- Hi.

We've been looking everywhere

for this video installation.

We can't find it at all.

Will you excuse us?

I think it's

on the third floor, isn't it?

Yeah. No, no, no.

I think it's back there.

Say your phone number.

- What's the point?

- Just say your phone number.

- Chris...

- Please.

Say your phone number.

I'll call you.

Bye.

I think he really knows

what he's doing.

Didn't you get

a good feeling about him?

To me, fertility doctors

are a cut above witch doctors.

Oh, yeah.

Well, he's not like that last one.

It's OK, John.

I feel like it's gonna happen this time.
