01:34,612 -- 00:01:39,242Fallow arriving, area A. Do you copy?
2
00:
01:44,892 -- 00:01:47,122Hi, Mr. Fallow. Welcome.
3
00:
01:49,492 -- 00:01:51,881Hi, so nice to see you!
4
00:
01:55,972 -- 00:01:57,200Careful with that!
5
00:
01:57,292 -- 00:01:59,601We're in a bit of a rush...
6
00:
01:59,772 -- 00:02:01,842so let's hop on the cart and get going.
7
00:
02:01,932 -- 00:02:04,002There are a lot of people waiting.
8
00:
02:04,092 -- 00:02:06,401We're so honored to have you.
9
00:
02:06,492 -- 00:02:09,928This is really
an historic occasion, Peter.
10
00:
02:15,132 -- 00:02:18,010Mr. Fallow, I'd like
to take this private moment...
11
00:
02:18,292 -- 00:02:21,011to tell you how much I admire your book.
12
00:
02:21,372 -- 00:02:24,250When Faulkner was asked
to recommend three novels, he said:
13
00:
02:24,332 -- 00:02:26,687"Anna Karenina, Anna Karenina,
Anna Karenina."
14
00:
02:26,772 -- 00:02:30,287Today, he'd say:
"The Real McCoy and the Forgotten Lamb.
15
00:
02:30,492 -- 00:02:34,121"The Real McCoy and the Forgotten Lamb,
The Real McCoy and..."
16
00:
02:35,292 -- 00:02:38,443I know you've heard it a million times...
17
00:
02:39,212 -- 00:02:43,683but the scene where the mayor is hit
in the head with the mayonnaise jar...
18
00:
02:44,332 -- 00:02:46,243Well, to be continued.
19
00:
02:48,732 -- 00:02:50,290Right this way.
20
00:
02:57,652 -- 00:02:59,643I've got Mr. Fallow.
21
00:
03:05,452 -- 00:03:08,046Get away!
This should never have happened.
22
00:
03:08,132 -- 00:03:09,406I'm so sorry.
23
00:
03:12,972 -- 00:03:15,122Right this way, Mr. Fallow.
24
00:
03:15,212 -- 00:03:18,409We're just going through these two doors.
25
00:
03:19,692 -- 00:03:21,364We're on our way.
26
00:
03:21,452 -- 00:03:24,649But I must say, if I may quote you...
27
00:
03:26,732 -- 00:03:29,166Look at all the busy bees.
28
00:
03:33,772 -- 00:03:35,842If I may quote you...
29
00:
03:36,012 -- 00:03:39,049"How in the name of God...
Who in the name of God...
30
00:
03:39,212 -- 00:03:42,887"would bring a half-eaten jar
of mayonnaise to a public meeting?"
31
00:
03:42,972 -- 00:03:43,961Ambassador!
32
00:
03:44,052 -- 00:03:48,170I'm Charles Buchanan. This is my wife,
Stephanie, and my daughter.
33
00:
03:48,372 -- 00:03:51,045Mr. Fallow, I read your book 15 times.
34
00:
03:51,252 -- 00:03:56,201Next year, next year I'm going
to take a course in it.
35
00:
03:57,012 -- 00:03:59,082We're going to go up by ourselves.
36
00:
04:03,252 -- 00:04:04,685Are you hungry?
37
00:
04:06,572 -- 00:04:09,962That's salmon, but I don't think
38
00:
04:14,292 -- 00:04:17,762Mr. Fallow, it's such an honor
to finally meet you.
39
00:
04:18,092 -- 00:04:19,525Oh, my God!
40
00:
04:19,612 -- 00:04:20,727Oh, my God!
41
00:
04:22,292 -- 00:04:24,169We are running a bit late.
42
00:
04:24,252 -- 00:04:26,766I don't know what to say. Let me see...
43
00:
04:26,932 -- 00:04:28,843-What's your name?
-Suzanne.
44
00:
04:28,932 -- 00:04:30,251Are you married?
45
00:
04:31,212 -- 00:04:32,486Excuse me!
46
00:
04:36,252 -- 00:04:37,924Excuse me!
47
00:
04:40,372 -- 00:04:42,010Animals!
48
00:
04:46,612 -- 00:04:48,648Someone needs deodorant.
49
00:
04:50,092 -- 00:04:53,323All right, all right, here we go.
50
00:
04:54,292 -- 00:04:56,123Everything is under control.
51
00:
04:56,332 -- 00:04:57,970Nothing to worry about.
52
00:
04:59,372 -- 00:05:02,762Excuse me. I haven't
introduced myself, have I?
53
00:
05:03,412 -- 00:05:05,130My name is Peter Fallow.
54
00:
05:05,452 -- 00:05:06,885I am a writer.
55
00:
05:07,372 -- 00:05:09,090But you know that already.
56
00:
05:09,292 -- 00:05:12,648Unless you haven't read a newspaper
or seen a TV recently...
57
00:
05:12,852 -- 00:05:14,763you know exactly who I am.
58
00:
05:15,732 -- 00:05:18,485I am the man of the moment.
59
00:
05:19,532 -- 00:05:21,488The hero of the evening.
60
00:
05:21,932 -- 00:05:24,162Me and a book I happened to write.
61
00:
05:25,812 -- 00:05:29,282The real hero of the evening
is not even with us tonight.
62
00:
05:29,612 -- 00:05:31,523We'll come to him in a minute.
63
00:
05:31,692 -- 00:05:34,968For now, indulge yourself
in the extravagance of the moment...
64
00:
05:35,052 -- 00:05:39,284and remember, ifyou will,
a phrase from another little best-seller.
65
00:
05:41,812 -- 00:05:45,851"What does it profit a man if he gains
the whole world and loses his soul?"
66
00:
05:46,812 -- 00:05:48,131They're waiting.
67
00:
05:48,972 -- 00:05:52,089This is a story about such a man.
68
00:
05:55,532 -- 00:05:57,170There he is!
69
00:
06:08,412 -- 00:06:11,688And it begins on a rainy night
a little over a year ago.
70
00:
06:17,732 -- 00:06:20,929Our hero, Sherman McCoy,
was about to make a simple phone call.
71
00:
06:22,572 -- 00:06:26,645But despite the existence of 11 phones
72
00:
06:26,772 -- 00:06:30,242in the 14 rooms
of his $6-million-plus apartment...
73
00:
06:30,492 -- 00:06:33,370this was a phone call
he could not make at home.
74
00:
06:34,092 -- 00:06:35,491Gotcha!
75
00:
06:35,572 -- 00:06:37,608What on earth are you doing?
76
00:
06:40,012 -- 00:06:41,923I'm taking the dog for a walk.
77
00:
06:42,132 -- 00:06:45,568You're not taking "the dog" for a walk,
you're taking "Marshall."
78
00:
06:45,652 -- 00:06:49,008Marshall has a name. He's family.
And, anyway...
79
00:
06:49,492 -- 00:06:50,891it's raining.
80
00:
06:51,052 -- 00:06:52,565I know that.
81
00:
06:52,812 -- 00:06:54,404So does Marshall.
82
00:
06:54,612 -- 00:06:56,409He doesn't want to go.
83
00:
06:56,492 -- 00:06:57,720Do you, Marshall?
84
00:
06:58,972 -- 00:06:59,961Judy...
85
00:
07:00,972 -- 00:07:03,611All right. Have a nice time.
86
00:
07:08,692 -- 00:07:11,126He's not happy about it, Mr. McCoy.
87
00:
07:11,212 -- 00:07:12,850Neither am I, Bill.
88
00:
07:12,932 -- 00:07:14,968Tony, sir. My name is Tony.
89
00:
07:15,052 -- 00:07:16,644Well, whatever.
90
00:
07:20,492 -- 00:07:22,562Let's be men about this.
91
00:
07:35,532 -- 00:07:36,647Hello, Sherman.
92
00:
07:36,732 -- 00:07:38,324Good evening, Pollard.
93
00:
07:38,412 -- 00:07:40,004It's raining, you know.
94
00:
07:40,212 -- 00:07:42,362I did notice, yes.
95
00:
07:42,572 -- 00:07:45,882Ah, Sherman, a true friend
to man's best friend.
96
00:
07:49,292 -- 00:07:52,170Pollard, you old phrase-maker.
97
00:
07:52,372 -- 00:07:53,566I beg your pardon?
98
00:
07:53,652 -- 00:07:55,847Is that the best you can do?
99
00:
07:56,052 -- 00:07:58,088Is that as witty as we get?
100
00:
07:58,332 -- 00:08:00,402I don't know what you're talking about.
101
00:
08:00,492 -- 00:08:05,441Furthermore, if you're wet
when you return, take the service elevator.
