Who is this?

This is an actor!

Myra darling!

Welcome home.

You are stunning.

You remember Lester?

Steve Kearney, my advice

I made a short stay.

You will visit.

If we were going to dinner and dancing?

- Tonight?

Not at all.

Where you will be staying?

I do not know yet.

Well ...

Go to "Fairmont" at 9 pm.

That's perfect.

They make a beautiful couple, right?

Welcome to my home.

Thank you.

It is very comfortable.

More comfortable

If later than that?

A fabulous night.

This morning also.

This is where I work.

Scotch, orange juice, milk?

- Like you.

- Milk.

A guided missile?

No, my dictation machine.

I had never seen before.

I did it on purpose.

I love walking by dictating.

I'll show you ...

You see that?

It is a microphone.

There are four in the room.

The command is there.

I turn it on, the microphones are connected

automatically.

I mean, the record stores.

I stop, it stops.

Very ingenious.

Here, try it out.

Wander the room.

mother and I almost forgot,

"The woman I've always dreamed of.

"All the ties that bind

man and woman,

"I want to weave with you.

"Nothing with you."

It's very flattering

to hear mentioned.

I will revert.

He had the wrong day.

This reception

I gotta go.

- No, I must go alone.

And guests?

Tell them what you want.

Where were you?

I called constantly.

After that, anyone can.

A woman must put.

Otherwise, I feel naked.

There.

And what happened to Nietzsche?

He's dead!
