What other things

are being taken care of?

What?

She said, ""other things.''

An apartment for you in Paris...

and a bank account.

How much?

500,000 francs.

Your first offer was better.

You can have more.

I don't want more.

I don't want any.

You went to all that trouble

just for me?

The helicopter and the jet--

It was no trouble.

Was I really so bad for David,

so wrong?

The chauffeur's daughter.

Isn't that all over?

That's not it.

It's about a piece of plastic.

- Plastic?

- Nothing personal.

May I?

Paris is always a good idea.

I was happy there.

You would've been too.

I'll drive you home.

I'm flying home.

He shall have music

wherever he goes.

You're better.

Oh, yeah.

Much better.

Stitches come out tomorrow.

How 'bout you?

- Where you coming from?

- Town.

Long evening.

I thought we were gonna talk.

I was planning a big

stitch-removal celebration.

- I thought we'd go down to--

- I was with Linus.

You know, of all the girls

I've known--

and I've known some--

Is that a song?

You're the only girl

I danced with only once.

Twice.

What?

How could I have forgotten?

Was there champagne?

I was eight...

and you were taking

dancing lessons...

and I was homework.

I'm leaving town, David.

I think I knew that.

I won a ticket to Paris.

Lucky.

- One way?

- Yes, come to think of it.

Traveling alone?

Yes.

You have a good trip.

- You're here.

- So are you.

Call Seattle and Tokyo.

Tell them to stop construction.

Then get the Rons and Tysons,

and tell them...

there's an emergency meeting

on the merger here at noon.

Take this Paris ticket in my name

and transfer it to David Larrabee.

I need to see my mother--

I need to see my mother

as soon as she gets in.

Good morning, David.

Can I get you some coffee?

No? Okay.

I got a surprise for you.

Yeah?

I got one for you too.

I've watched you

do business for years...

but I thought there was a limit

to how sick you could--

How could you, Linus?

How could you do

what you did to me and to her?

How could you go that far?

What the hell makes you think

you have the right?

Habit.

Listen, David.

I tried something,

and it didn't work.

I mean, it worked,

but it didn't really work.

I want you

to go to Paris today...

with Sabrina.

- What?

- This was a business tactic.

But it got out of hand.

Somehow I lost my focus.

I screwed up everything...

but I know it can be fixed.

I manipulated her...

I confused her...

but she's loved you

all her life.

You're what she really wants.

You're what she's always wanted.

Go with her.

It's not too late.

Things will work out.

She'll make you happy.

I don't want her

to have to leave here alone.

What about Patrick

and the merger?

You'd blow a billion dollars

for this?

I see.

Get going.

Go on.

Don't miss the plane.

Miss McCartle, I want to see you

in my office right away.

Where is it?

When your mother and I

first came here...

she cooked, I drove,

and we had no expenses.

After a couple of years,

we had $ 1 5,000.

I was driving Mr. Larrabee, Senior,

at the time.

He never closed

the window between us.

He transacted a lot of business

on the daily commute...

and I paid attention.

When he bought, I bought.

When he sold, I sold.

Dad, are you telling me

you have a million dollars?

A little over two million.

Your mother and I

were happy here, Sabrina.

We always dreamed of what it

would be like to do this for you.

Two million dollars might have

exceeded our expectations.

But then,

you've always exceeded mine.

I know what his instructions were,

but it's a mistake.

I'm giving you new instructions.

There's been a change.

Just get started.

I'll call you back.

Thanks for getting here

so quickly.

I need to tell you a story.

And I need for you to tell me...

how it's gonna turn out.

All those years...

you made all that money...

and you never told any of us

how to do it.

I'll tell you now,Joanna.

Marry me for my money.

People do it every day.

I'm not amused, Thomas...

and I have

a great sense of humor.

Then marry me for love.

Emergency what?

What's the emergency?

Darling, if I knew.

I'm sure there's a perfectly good

answer to that question.

I've got my dress.

It looks fabulous.

- What the hell is going on?

- In a minute, Patrick.

What are we waiting for?

- What's with Siegfried and Roy?

-Just a minute, Patrick.

We've known each other

for a long time.

We may have played hardball

on occasion, but...

I think we have

a healthy respect for...

our individual business abilities.

We saw the potential of this merger,

and I don't think anybody doubts...

it would have been

an enormously successful venture.

Would have been?

The purpose of this meeting is to

inform you that my brother David--

Is late, as usual. Sorry.

- Sorry, everybody.

- What are you doing here?

Elizabeth and I

have decided to elope.

Really?

- David, where's Sabrina?

- So are we merging?

Who's Sabrina?

- You didn't go with her?

- Obviously not. Here I am, right?

She's probably having her beverage

service right about now.

- Who is?

- Sabrina.

- Who's Sabrina?

- The chauffeur's daughter.

- Don't call her that.

- She was after David for a while.

Then, apparently,

she switched to Linus.

She seems to have decided

that he was the one with the power.

- Is that what he told you?

- He told me everything, Linus.

You didn't see her before she left?

You didn't talk to her?

Sure. I said good-bye. I think

I wished her luck. Maybe not.

I told her I felt funny accepting

my brother's hand-me-downs...

and I said

don't take it personally...

and that you've always been very

generous to your women in the past.

I was sure she'd be more

than compensated for whatever.

- I told you! He loves her.

- Who?

- Is he packed?

- Yes.

- Is who packed?

- You are.Just one bag.

Wait. You packed my clothes?

You went to my apartment?

- I took her.

- We were in your underwear drawer.

It was like touching

the Shroud of Turin.

Sign this. It's your authorization

for the completion of the merger.

And this.

Gives me the raise I deserve

for the new position I'm assuming.

There's a car waiting for you

downstairs...

a helicopter at East 60th.

The plane ticket's been changed

to the Concorde.

It leaves in exactly 39 minutes.

You just might beat her there.

Go, Linus. Don't think.

- She must absolutely hate me.

- She'll get over it. We all do.

This is crazy.

You expect me to just drop

everything and walk out of here?

- Running would be better.

- I think you're all nuts.

Linus, you know I love you.

No mother could be prouder.

But I think it's time

that you ran away from home.

But sign these first.

If you'll excuse me...

it appears I have

a previous engagement.

Now, Patrick, the debt burden

this merger will accumulate...

is gonna make it essential to

restructure a couple of divisions...

that are generating cash drains.

I've done a very quick review
