Lester.

I have a gun.

Hello, Mr. Blaine.

Hello, Mrs. Blaine.

Morning!

You slept a little?

Like a baby.

The last thing I remember,

looking for my sleeping pills

is that I fell!

Do you feel better?

Much better.

That attention!

I have much to be forgiven.

- What is it?

- Yesterday.

I'm afraid I was miserable.

It does not look like you.

I had to overwork.

My new play, no doubt.

Forgiveness, Lester.

I thought we could go

few days.

To rest.

Maybe I will find my

usual cheerfulness of Mrs. Blaine?

From? Where?

In the summer house.

This season?

Sounds insane,

but in winter, I like it.

It is so quiet.

I will walk to the water's edge.

This is not folichon.

This is wonderful.

As on a deserted island.

Nothing is open?

Nothing close.

All the houses in the waterfront

are closed for the season.

There will be the seagulls ...

like a Russian novel!

It is very relaxing

to be alone ...

away from everyone.

It does not bother you

that I put your stuff?

Nothing annoys me with you

except that you to go.

Agree.

If this is what you want,

this is what we do.

You do not have to do!

Of course I am!

Needless to sacrifice yourself

because I need to rest.

I am strong, honey.

You will not only there.

No need to discuss.

I confess, I was hoping

that you would come.

- It is decided, then?

- If you're sure it does not bother you.

Bored?

When it's for your own good?

A second honeymoon.

No one. Just the two of us.

- Sounds wonderful.

- It will be wonderful!

- The bags ...

- Wait!

It's too early for suitcases.

We would not leave until Sunday.

- Sunday? But I thought ...

- I would like ...

but I can not

from earlier, darling.

Oh! Lester ...

- Will you make me happy?

- Of course.

If you went this afternoon

light a good fire,

to remove moisture?

I'd be happy.

At dinner tonight, then.

Wait a minute.

You do not kiss me?

Why you looking at me like that?

I wondered what I had done

to deserve you.

Myra invited me to lunch

today.

What did you say?

I had an appointment

with an incredible man.

Do you think she suspects

something?

I know him to deceive.

Sunday

it leaves us little time.

Yes, but here, the place is ideal

an accident.

All these steps ...

And it was she who wanted to come.

Yes! Listen ...

Tomorrow morning you book

places his agency drama.

Two next week.

- For who?

- For her.

No, four. Junior and me.

I say to Junior

it provides for a lunch or dinner.

Thus,

Communion is in trouble.

List nags

who owe me money!

Fashion is in FAIRMON Saturday

Lester, I have the solution.

Come home at midnight.

Do not ring. Take your key.

Lester, I have the solution.

Come home at midnight.

Do not ring. Take your key.

Irene.

Sunday

Irene

I have a foolproof plan.

Come find me

the garage just at midnight.

If I'm not at midnight

and a half, go home.

Destroy word.

Lester.

Good afternoon. Are you ready?

Ready? To do what?

From as planned ...

- You're not wearing?

- But I told you ...

Sorry, this is Ann

I had to say.

Say what?

It was Eve's birthday yesterday.

It will be mine tomorrow.

They are celebrating today.

I had completely forgotten.

What do you say?

Instead of from there,

we will in Ralston.

- But you promised ...

- I know.

But I promised to Eve,

and for a long time.

Listen ...

You promised to the summer house.

You can not go back!

Lester?

Why are you so upset?

I think I'm just disappointed.

I rejoiced

to be alone with you.

A new honeymoon ...

You can always ...

within a week.

You need to rest!

Why a dinner?

I feel much better.

And again, Steve and Junior returned

Sacramento.

They did not return on Monday?

The firm.

They will be at Eve tonight.

Dinner followed by a bridge.

Dinner followed by a bridge ...

You should have told me.

Was it so important?

No.

I ...

I canceled

a round of golf.

You can still go.

It's early. Do not be angry.

I'm not mad!

Your disappointment touches me deeply.

I'll see

if I can make a career.

Do not delay.

I called Steve, Irene

Junior and a drink,

before going to Eve.

Heard.

And you let her

without saying anything?

You left to do?

Shut up!

You want me to bring the force?

May be necessary.

Time is running out!

This is our last chance!

I could have strangled.

Two days wasted.

We could organize everything.

It has no time to lose.
