The Perfect Host Page #3

You are different, you are special.

How I can believe you?

It's true. Many women have

traveled the road to Warwick,

interesting ways.

We can not blame them,

for the love that I share.

I know, but what about Julia?

- She is in Australia.

- But you're with her, she is ...

is ...

She is the boat of the night

loving daughter of the universe,

My heart stops

flicker before you.

Do not brake

come to Warwick.

Warwick.

I'm very boring, Warwick,

there are other people here.

Oh, I forgot.

Are not all fun?

I can not speak for all but

I'm having great.

Warwick, did not have the

last party at Super 8?

You're right, we do.

I will show.

Roman, come, help me

John.

Ready?

1, 2, 3.

I wish you had been, you missed

a tremendous party.

I myself did the hair

and makeup.

It's so beautiful.

So beautiful.

Pellzcame, Roman,

I have a party.

Hello you.

They're all here. Everyone is here

and here they all are.

Rupert, keep these people busy

or I'll have you busy for you.

Hello, Chelsea.

Is not it great?

I was worried that

no one would come but this is great.

Are you having fun?

Courage, John, is a party.

It does not look very happy.

You only need to enter

the holiday spirit.

Chelsea, Rupert, come here.

Ready,

1, 2, 3. Champagne!

Hey, John.

Oh, yes.

It's almost time, huh?

Would you feel photogenic.

Warwick, can I join I can

the conga line?

What?

What if I can join

the conga line.

I think we have a few minutes.

But you have to drink

cocktail if you want to stay in shape.

- What's in?

- Do you want it or not?

Well, whatever you want, I must

prepare for the photo.

I drink.

Hey Rupert, make a cocktail for John.

I think you're ready,

John. Conga!

John, look what you've done.

Causes a heap.

Hey you, not even

see you there.

Why, if I'm good.

What? yes, I love you.

Yes, I love you!

Say it again. Thank you.

To you I've been waiting for.

Shake.

Come on, shake.

Give it to me.

How much did you drink?

Get away from me. You're a whore.

Hey, how have you been?

Yes. No, it was better than

expected. It turned out well.

No, it was great.

It's a great party.

Oh, yeah, yeah.

Everyone, everyone.

- So you have fun?

- Yes I did.

Sorry to Teri and Adam, they always

a bouquet of flowers when they come.

All right.

- Will I stay here tonight?

- I thought you would.

Yes?

Have you got tired of me?

- No. Not yet.

- Good.

Oh, that reminds me ...

Okay, okay.

All right.

Hello?

Hello.

Hello?

Yes.

Hello, sir. Wilson, sorry

I was not sure if he was here.

His friend ... Are you

OK?

Okay, okay.

It's a little drunk.

He has been in his character

overnight.

- What do you mean by character?

- We had a costume party.

Oh, God.

He plays his character

jumping into the pool.

It has become boring.

I was suffering,

by the sound they made.

No, I've said no

mix wines.

I'm so sorry

the bothering.

But I think it's over

I promise that there will be more noise.

- Well, if all is well.

- Yeah, thanks, I'm sorry.

- You will have to excuse me.

- Yeah, I quit.

Take care of yourself.

- Okay, is that you drank too much.

- Excuse me, anything else?

Are you sure he's

OK?

It seems to take off the mask.

Thank God! I have tried

do it all night.

It is very drunk, I think it's time

you go to bed, and me too.

If nothing more ...

- I guess not.

- Okay.

- Good night.

- Good night.

Good night.

Good night.

Come to bed, John.

What if I go and call the police?

What will you do?

Warwick probably

will collapse

is not the best

mastermind of the world.

Shut up!

-What you should be thinking ...

- But what if the police come ...

Shut up!

As you should be worried

Warwick, is your foot.

I think that needs attention.

Attention. Yes.

I'll get your foot bleeding

stop leak in my apartment

once and for all.

Not covered.

I told you already.

- It is an elective procedure?

- Love, I'll be fine.

Not good. It's a damn

joke.

Can you go to work tomorrow?

Yes, I'll be fine.

You can not keep taking it.

They damage your body pain

your liver collapse.

Okay, doctor.

This is horrible.

I get money.

No.

Hey, come here.

Please, love, come here.

You will not rob anyone.

It just will not happen.

I've done before.

If you went to prison and why.

I will not enter.

Everything will be fine.

Both are very good.

I can not decide.

Which do you prefer?

I'll decide later.

What will you do me?

Good move, Roman.

- Warwick. Warwick please listen to me.

- I hear you.

Please do not do this, Warwick.

Right?

Please let me go.

Warwick, I'll do anything.

- Warwick.

- I would not do that, Roman.

Every action has a reaction

equal and opposite, John.

What?

That's physics.

It is the law of nature.

Oh, sweet.

Do not cry.

What I can do

to make you feel better?

Please let me go.

Please do not kill me.

You are my guest,

and I'm glad you're here.

But you can only blame

yourself.

And then where is it?

Who?

Julia.

It's in Bangkok.

It is planning to go to Hanoi

not yet been decided.

Who has not decided?

Julia.

Who is she?

She's the girl you met at

Australia, silly.

I've never been to Australia, Warwick.

You mean you lied?

Yes. I lied.

It speaks well

your character.

And you're Julia, Warwick.

What?

You're Julia.

Roman, Rupert, Monica.

All are you, Warwick.

The fascinating thing about John is that I have

others to attend,

I can not be a

inattentive host.

Does anyone fancy a final cocktail?

Monica ? Oh, I forgot,

Do you prefer a dessert wine, coffee?

Go ahead.

Rupert ?

Keep the bottle to Roman.

Now what?

Now it's time to silence

John, it means ...

reflection, silence,

OK?

It is very entertaining.

Even I am your guest, right?

Of course you are.

Well ...

What do you think?

Wait ...

If you win, I give you freedom.

But what if I get lost?

You have my life, is not that enough?

- I can not give more than that, Warwick.

- Yes, indeed.

But that's what I have.

Have you ever played chess before?

- Yes, once or twice.

- Very good.

To tell me which piece to move,

you tell me a letter y. ..

... A corresponding number.

For example if you want to move the bishop

say ...

... Bishop to king-3.

Now I move my tower

Horse-7.

Okay, and what is the best

strategy?

That's the detail, do not control the

opponent's pieces, only yours.

But if you know your opponent, you know

weaknesses,

if you play well, you can influence

the behavior of your opponent.

I see. If you listen and

pretend to be fascinated ...

that I teach chess

So will you love me?

Yeah, nice try

do not need anything.

No need to pretend interest.

What can you do to me?

What can you do?

The satisfaction of winning should

be enough for a man like you.

No.

"To the victor goes the spoils."

- How would pamper me, John?

- I do not know. How would you like?

Let me think.

- King.

- Yes.

The whole game revolves around

the king.

It is the part with less power.

Their movements are limited,

Only then, one at a time.
