Oh God, Steve, tell her it'll be alright.

But she'd better find another job.

Why'd she do it?

- Christ knows.

To get money?

- Jenny doesn't care about money.

Why then?

- Christ knows.

Why?

Why?

What's it say?

It says:
'Because it spoke, I know I heard it.'

I'll try to square it.

You tell her.

Don't be scared. It'll be okay.

One day, I will be able to look after us.

Head on bone base.

Bronze by Henry Moore.

One of a series of nine.

Original mold destroyed.

Thanks.

- For what?

For letting us do this.

It's for 17...17,500.

Now, ladies and gentlemen,

A portrait by Christopher.

What am I bid?

Maybe we should buy our own kitchen...

...get our own icebox, make our

own cold drinks.

Just a kitchen?

It's a start.

There aren't many just

kitchens on the market.

Well, maybe a bedroom, too.

- Where?

Anywhere.

- Anywhere?

Not New Jersey.

Not Pensacola, either.

Enrico. Enrico. Come to eat.

I wouldn't finish yet.

Ome minute more.

What would it be like if he were ours?

We'd have to learn ltalian?

Jake.

Is this a serious discussion, Tina?

I guess not.

It's an interesting thought,

though.

It is an interesting thought.

Why don't we go up to our room...

...order some lunch and

pursue that thought?

I'm scared.

Everyone's scared of their

own special things, Tina.

Walk down the beach,

ask these people...

...if they're scared of cocoa

and they'll tell you no.

But, to some people,

cocoa's very scarey.

As far as I know, you've never been

scared when we've made love.

I mean, except that time on the airplane.

That was because it was so bumpy.
