Yes?
I was wondering
if I could see the guest house.
I just got out here.
You work mostly at home?
Uh-huh. I really need
the peace and quiet.
This is so great.
I'm always in court.
My husband Cliffspends
more time in airports than at home.
We'd both feel better
ifthere was someone around.
[Piano Playing]
I'll take it.
Great. It's a little
run-down on the inside,
but there's plenty ofspare furniture
in the garage.
Help yourselfto anything you'd like.
[Piano Plays]
That's my daughter, Adrian.
Oh, I think we met...
out front on the street.
Oh.
She seemed very, uh...
Headstrong is what I call it,
but I'm sure you two
will get along fiine.
=Just like a toy =
= I was waitin' foryou =
= But you never came =
= And I found myselfalone... =
Hello.
Get down.
What's the big deal?
Check him out.
Ifyou're not back
in fiive minutes,
I'll radio for air support.
= But you never came =
= On the way back to my house =
= I had to hesitate =
Who goes there?
What?
Identify yourself.
Friend or foe?
Depends.
= Some time today... =
You got a name?
Cheyenne.
Oh, Injun, huh?
Hippie parents.
Oh.
Later.
= When I saw that man? =
= I think I saw that face =
= I would like to give you more =
= I heard that's what
we're all here for ==
Well?
Well, he's okay.
Kind ofcool.
Old.
Hi. I'm Nick Eliot.
I'm here to see Michael.
Nick Eliot?
You're late.
It's not even 8:
30.Monday meeting starts at 8:1 5.
What I'm concerned about
is the focus on this.
Go on.
You've got to do it.
Oh, okay,
what are you working on right now?
Oh, I'm still
researching the article.
New here?
I can tell.
All right.
Let's get down to business.
Tanya Terrel on the cover.
Ifshe wants to expose herself,
I'll oblige her.
I need more pictures,
but keep the text under 1 ,000 words.
The Senate arms deal is dead.
The weeklies are beating it to death.
Now, Nicholas Eliot,
Monday's staff meetings
begin at 8:
1 5 precisely.Oh, ahem, my apologies.
I, uh, just got into town.
Do you really think
I don't know who you are?
Your former superiors describe you
as an excellent researcher
with fair writing skills.
You were described as a pit bull
when you're on the scent.
That's precisely why I hired you.
What do you know
about Robert Levansky?
Hejust got out ofjail
and refuses to talk to the press.
He embezzled almost $2 billion,
500 million ofwhich
remains unaccounted for.
Dig up everything you can.
Reporters have been
on that for months.
It's a black hole.
I'll expect something by Friday.
Maddik, track Eliot.
If he fiinds anything,
I want pictures.
Is he always like this?
Sometimes he's in a bad mood.
Oh.
= And every day =
= Must I =
= Wait on you hand and foot? =
= On the way past, I =
= One time when you made me
feel so good... =
So how much are they paying you
to watch me?
= Ribbons in your hair... =
Oh.
=Just like a subscription... =
Why are you doing that?
Well, I'm gonna have her painted
now that I can fiinally afford it.
So, uh...
Fox hunt? Polo?
No. I'm schoolingjumpers.
I'll be the youngest in my class
to go to Nationals.
Really?
Sounds ambitious.
Yeah, well...
ifonly my ride would show,
maybe I could get to practice.
= This one will never mend =
Hello. Mario Analdi?
Hi. Nick Eliot.
Pique magazine.
Could you answer
a few questions for us?
You used to work
for the Levansky family,
is that right?
I think we have something.
Yes.
Very attractive.
Oh, this?
Helps me think.
Hmm.
Come in, come in.
So what are you doing?
Ooh, pretty dry stuff, really.
You wouldn't be interested.
Try me.
Okay.
Uh...you ever hear
of Robert Levansky?
The arbitrage guy
who stole a lot of money.
Allegedly stole.
Uh, anyway,
I found his chauffeur.
He told me that
up to a house in Knollwood.
Seems Levansky had a...
friend.
You mean a lover?
Ahem.
Well, yeah, yeah.
Yes, um...
It turns out this woman
flew to Geneva
six times last year.
Swiss bank accounts loaded
with the missing cash.
You sure you're only 1 4?
Almost 1 5.
Isn't it way past your bedtime?
Yes.
Uh-huh.
Ahem.
Um...
So, um... whose pool?
That's Rockford's.
They're in Maine.
Guess they keep it
lit up for burglars.
Now, who would want
to steal a pool?
[Water Running]
[Door Closes]
Hello?
[Adrian] Hi!
You know, most people knock.
I did.
You didn't hear.
Is this you?
Mm-hmm. That is me
and David Cummings.
Who?
He's one ofthe great reporters
of his generation.
At one time, he had a byline
in every paper
across the country.
He was also my grandfather.
You were so cute.
Can I have it?
It's the only one I have.
Please?
No.
You always write on a computer?
I'd be lost without it.
Makes you wonder
how your grandfather got along.
Then again, he wasn't writing
for trendy magazines, was he?
Ha ha ha.
Will you get out of here
and let me get dressed?
I got you something.
Oh, yeah?
What?
Open it and fiind out.
Wow.
Cool.
Thankyou, Adrian.
Now I'm late.
Um, you're going to come
to my parents' party
on Saturday night, aren't you?
Uh, I don't know, Adrian.
I have a lot ofwork.
It's going to be
all of Mom's boring friends.
I'll try.
Not good enough.
I said I'll try.
Now let me go.
Pretty please?
Out!
[Telephone Rings]
Damn.
Hey, is that your article?
Yeah, itjust came in.
Great.
Will you two come on?
Michael's waiting.
Wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
There's something very wrong here.
Good work, Maddik.
Thankyou.
Hid in the rose bushes two hours
to get that money shot.
Mm-hmm.
Michael, I'd like to go over that
before you read it.
One ofthe copy editors--
The article's fiine.
Get this to the art department.
We're resetting the whole issue.
You got the cover, Maddik.
You owe it to your friend here.
All right!
Thankyou, sir.
[Intercom Buzzes]
Mr. Siegal's office
isholding on linesix.
Eliot, not only is
your research excellent,
but your text is clean, concise.
You even have some style.
Thankyou.
[Music Plays]
What the hell.
Hi.
Hi.
Hi.
Oh, Nick,
I'm so glad you could make it.
Honey, this is Nick.
Nick, this is my husband
Cliff Forrester.
My wife speaks very highly ofyou.
How's everything out back?
Oh, well, it's great, sir.
You have a beautiful place.
Thankyou.
You enjoy it.
Thankyou.
Honey, look,
there are the Mortins.
I think she's had her eyes done.
Saperstein did her eyes
fiive years ago.
No.
It's her breasts
I was wondering about.
Excuse us, Nick.
Come on.
Hang in there, Nick.
[Piano Playing]
Excuse me.
That was lovely, Adrian.
Thankyou.
Thanks.
I knew you'd come.
Ifyou were 1 0 years older...
You'd what?
So how did your boss
like the article?
It was you?
You rewrote it?
