Now and Forever

That'll be right up.

Just a minute.

Thank you.

Good morning, Occidental.

I cannot ring suite 1026

before 11:
30.

I'm sorry, sir.

Never before 11:
30.

Accounting Department.

C.O.D. for 1026.

Mail for 1026. For 1026? Well,

why didn't you tell me? Oh, stupid!

Nice ham.

You said that in Vienna.

Not about ham. Most certainly about ham.

That was Wiener Schnitzel.

I remember distinctly arguing about

the relationship of a cow to a calf.

Jerry, you're an idiot.

You said that in Vienna. And London

and Rome and a few other places.

Say, was that

a party last nght!

Didn't I tell you we'd have

a great time in China?

Mmm. You certainly did. Let

me see. What was I last night?

It was something special. Oh,

sure. I was Emperor of All China.

Mmm. The Emperor

of All China.

Emperor, there's

a little message for you.

Some of your subjects are

getting a little restless.

Would that be,

by any chance, the bill?

Good mornng, Emperor.

Have we been here three weeks? We

have, and we've had a swell time.

Now I suppose

you haven't the $800.

Will you have some more

ham, Emperor?

Have faith, little one. I

have, but not $800 worth.

Hey, there is a time

for fooling.

You've always said there was no

time for anything but fooling.

Well, who am I

to disturb a genius?

I'm not hungry, either.

Is it the fire escape?

It looks like the old boy

has got to go to work.

Any ideas, may I ask?

My dear, you're talking to a businessman.

You ought to know that by this time.

Hmm. I do.

But $805 is a record!

Who do you love?

My emperor.

Always brings home the

bacon, doesn't he? Always.

Uh... we mustn't mix

pleasure with business.

Just as you say, dear.

And what is my little woman

fixing for dinner tonight?

It's probably right there.

Uh, as a matter of fact,

just between you and me,

we may dine on a boat

tonight.

You know how it is.

We like to move.

Don't we though?

Good-bye, little woman.

Good-bye, Emperor.

Good morning, Mr. Day.

Good morning, Mr. Ling.

Mr. Day, it is, indeed, most

disagreeable to me, but... Yes?

I need not impress upon you the

urgency of, uh, well, your bill.

Oh, no need at all.

As a matter of fact,

I am expecting the auditor

today.

It will be very awkward

for me if, uh...

Oh, uh, the auditor.

I understand.

As it happens, I was just

on my way downstairs now.

I'll see you later, Mr.

Ling. Good afternoon.

Good afternoon, Mr. Ling.

Thanks.

Hmm. Thank you.

Hello. Occidental Hotel?

The manager, Mr. Ling, please.

The desk clerk at

Hotel Sino Manor speaking.

Mr. Ling?

The auditor is here, sir.

Yes, we'll show him

every courtesy.

Yes. Yes, sir. Mr. Ling conveys

his compliments, Mr. Daly,

and says he will come over

whenever you wish to see him.

Er, my very best

compliments to Mr. Ling...

and, uh, tell him

there's no hurry whatsoever.

I have a great deal to do.

As a matter of fact,

I'd rather not see Mr. Ling

till evening.

I'm the assistant manager. Consider

us all at your command. Oh, thank you.

And, uh, will you

have the ledgers sent up?

I expect to be very busy and I

don't wish to be disturbed. Yes, sir.

Boy, Suite 205.

This way, sir.

Tsk, tsk, tsk.

Mr. O'Neil, please.

Room 327.

Mr. O'Neil. I'm merely fulfilling

my obligation to this firm.

But I must ask you to meet

your bill immediately.

Why haven't...

But I haven't the money!

Mr. O'Neil, uh...

In a situation like this we

make great allowances for cash.

Well, Mr. Daly,

if I had any cash, I...

I might dig up 50.

For a hundred we'll cancel

the whole bill.

It's a deal.

Mrs. Frank Newman, please.

Uh, Room 425.

Let's see, 500.

One, two, 350 makes $850.

That's right.

Thank you.

I'm going to the Sino Manor

Hotel. The auditor is there.

Oh, good afternoon, Mr. Day!

Good afternoon, Mr. Ling.

I hope you have enjoyed your

stay with us. Good day, Mr. Ling.

Put them down here.

Whee!

Well, we made it.

Again.

I've decided

to write a book:

"My Breathless Years. '"

Will I be in it?

Mmm. Yes, but I don't think you'll

stay long. I'll kill you off early.

Not gettng tred of t all,

by any chance?

Never a dull moment, darling. Good girl.

Mmm. Here, you forgot

these this morning.

By the way,

where are we going?

Boat stops at Yokohama first. We'll

see how we feel when we get there.

I was afraid of that.

Well, well, well!

This is different.

Toni.

What?

Darling, we're rich.

Again? That's nice.

Hmm. This letter's

from my brother-in-law.

He's been, uh, looking

after the baby. Baby?

Yeah, listen.

What baby?

My baby.

Wait a minute, Jerry.

You mean that you have

a child? That's right.

Didn't I tell you?

No.

She must be five or six by now.

I don't know exactly.

Well, for a man who talks

so much, you say very little.

I:

- I told you I was married. Yes.

She died some time ago. Oh.

The point is,

my wife's family...

want to deny me the privilege

of parenthood.

I've been looking for that

brother-in-law of mine for a long time...

and now he wants my baby.

Well, he's gonna get her. And

it'll cost him exactly $75,000.

Jerry. Seventy-five thousand

dollars. Tsk, tsk, tsk.

What a beautiful world.

We'll take the first boat out of

Yokohama to San Francisco,

hop a plane to...

Hey, do you realize we've never

been in New York together?

Mmm. Why, darling,

it's gonna be marvelous.

You and I in New York?

Why, it's... it's...

The black ten

on the red ten.

Of course, we'll have to stop off in

Connecticut first to, uh, pick up the money.

My wife's family live there, which is

practically the only thing wrong with Connecticut.

Who do you love?

Jerry, don't go to Connecticut.

Why, how else can we get

the money? Don't get it.

I don't understand.

Jerry, don't even

want to go.

Oh, now I'm getting it. Not

a nice way to make money, huh?

Not a bit nice. Hmm. I

didn't know we were nice.

Think of New York.

That'll be nice.

I'm leaving for Paris

in the morning.

You mean... You mean you'll meet

me in Paris when I come back?

I don't know.

You're tired of chasing

trains is what you really mean.

Jerry, you once said we belong

because we both hated life.

Neither of us knew

what we wanted.

We've had three years. Are

we any nearer to knowing?

I'll answer that

by asking you:

Do you wish we were settled

down and it were our kid?

Do you?

No.

I don't think I do either.

But I wish we wanted to.

You're tired of chasing

trains, all right.

Jerry... don't go!

She is your child!

You can't take advantage

of that. She's yours!

But 75,000 bucks

is 75,000 bucks.

Well, you're the emperor.

Then you'll meet me

in Paris?

I'll know that when I'm in

Paris. Well, you're the empress.

Good night, Empress.

We need scarcely point out

that your mode of life...

is not one that fits you to bring

up a child... my sister's child.

Just as stuffy as ever

in here.

Ah.

However, I have no desire to...

I have no desire to criticize

your mode of life.

Oh! No, no!

We are...

We are concerned only with
