to Aston Martin,

Aston Martin and Lagonda

- Compared to this Bentley--

- The Bentley isn't synchro-meshed,

you have independent

This car was considered the most

decadent car of its day.

- Why is that?

- Look at the lines.

- And the speed?

- May I help you?

Sir, Im sorry,

We're open only by appointment.

No, l--

I guess Id, uh--

Would you like us to drive it out

to you this weekend on the island?

Someone should do a book:

Japanese all over the world...

in front of the world's monuments,

taking pictures of each other,

That's what somebody should do,

We were supposed to have dinner

last night, What happened?

Don't the laws of courtesy

apply to the rich?

you're a hell of a one

to talk about courtesy,

I don't understand.

you had my sister waiting

for you all afternoon.

- What?

- What do you mean, ''What?''

I mean, I don't know

what you're talking about.

- You were going to bring her the book,

- I did,

you left it for her,

you told me you were going

to bring the book to her,

I called.

She was waiting for you,

- She was waiting?

- She waited all afternoon,

- I never said I'd bring her the book.

- I believe that's what we settled on.

It certainly was not,

I didn't-- Look,

Look, I didn't--

Look, I didn't want to intrude,

Why would I want to intrude?

My understanding was,

you asked me to drop it off.

That's not what we said,

Look here,

It certainly is,

And I don't appreciate being

accused of a lack of courtesy.

Seriously.

Isn't it possible you

misremembered? No,

Don't look at me like

I want something from you,

I don't,

you asked me to do it,

Is it possible you got it wrong?

Huh? Is it possible?

It's possible.

All right. That's all

I wanted to say, Thank you.

I was just in the neighborhood

and I thought I would drop by.

- you want some coffee?

- Sure,

So, as I said, I was just

accidentally in the vicinity...

and aren't you courteous

and all for having me in?

yes, well, good,

Make 'em right by my house,

Right under my house,

Small world, huh?

Chock full of coincidences,

Nice knife,

Thank you,

Got it in the Boy Scouts,

Hel of an organization.

Ever get the urge to

do something adventurous...

in spite of the ancient wisdom

against interoffice romances?

Look, here's the thing,

I know you're in line

for higher things,

you got it written all over you.

But you never get anything in life

if you don't speak out for it...

so here's what I wanted to say,

Im a hell of a person. I'm loyal,

true and not too hard to look at.

What do you think?

- I think you're a lovely young woman,

- You think so?

- I've got eyes.

- you got very nice eyes,

Can you see without
