Together Again Page #3

you are going to need it.

-What do you mean?

-I am Mayor Crandall, Mr. Corday.

I had an appointment with you at 6:.00.

Well, l`m not going to apologize, you know.

Because you are a fraud.

I beg your...

You are a fraud and a delusion.

You deserve to be embarrassed.

You have no business running around

with mayor insides

-and such a beautiful outside.

-Mr. Corday...

And that hat.

That is definitely not a mayor`s hat.

Mr. Corday, this hat, apparently,

was a grave mistake.

It was bought at the suggestion

of someone else.

I didn`t think it was a very good idea

at the time.

But, I assure you,

there is a mayor under this hat

-and we`ll just go on from there, shall we?

-Certainly.

And I shan`t insult your profession

by assuming that your outward appearance

belies your reputation as a sincere artist.

Proving that you are

more of a gentleman than l, Mayor Crandall.

I have some photographs here

of the ex-Mayor Crandall.

The one of whom you`re to do the statue.

I thought they might help you.

Yes, they would.

Would you sit down, please?

Thank you.

-Fine-looking man.

-Thank you.

Your father?

My husband.

-No.

-Why not?

No reason. No reason at all.

Naturally, I shall have to know

some facts about your ex-husband.

I mean, something about the spirit

of the man, you understand.

I think so.

How long were you married to him?

-Five years.

-His age when he married you?

Forty-two. But I don`t see how that fact...

That`s a very important fact.

A man who waits until he is 42

to marry must have definite characteristics.

I was his second wife.

Two wives.

-Any children?

-Yes. One by his first wife.

Children, one by his first wife.

None by you, then?

Mr. Corday, I see no need of...

Mrs. Crandall,

these things are of no personal interest

to me whatsoever, I assure you.

It is simply that I need to know the man,

that`s all.

This is a professional interview

and I wish you would conduct it as such.

-Well, l...

-Thank you.

Now, let me see.

Was he a particularly affectionate man?

Mr. Corday.

Mrs. Crandall,

your persistence in placing this interview

on a personal basis

is very embarrassing to me.

Embarrassing to you!

-All right, Mr. Corday, go ahead, please.

-Thank you.

Now, let me see what... Oh, yes.

Was he a particularly affectionate husband?

I believe you said,

``Was he a particularly affectionate man?``

Just tell me the things you are aware of.

Mr. Corday, my husband was a Crandall.

The Crandalls founded Brookhaven.

They have been involved with...

They have been involved with governing

the town since its inception.

There is a certain dignity

that goes with such tradition.

Very dignified.

Affectionate?

We will place a question mark after that,

shall we?

A question mark it is.

Now, the fact that you are still Mrs. Crandall

tells me that you have never remarried.

Have you ever entertained

the idea of remarrying?

I have never entertained the idea

of remarrying.

I have erased the question mark

after affectionate.

You see how one thing leads to another?

-Mr. Corday.

-Excuse me.

Jeepers! What weather!

Brother, this storm is gonna make history,

I bet you!

-Are you Mr. Corday?

-Yes.

My name is Muriel Thorn.

The agency thinks I have what you want.

I`m pretty good!

I hear you`re pretty good, also.

This is Mrs. Crandall, Miss Thorn.

Hello.

You don`t mind if l...

Not at all.

-Come with me, please.

-Okay.

-ls that her?

-Yes.

We`re a cinch.

I`ll fit her like a motorman`s glove.

-The door to the right.

-Be right with you.

Do sit down, please.

And now, then...

How long has your husband been dead,

Mrs. Crandall?

-Five years.

-Five...

You have been a widow for five years?

Naturally.

On the contrary,

there is nothing natural about that.

When a beautiful young woman

refuses to marry after all that time,

well, it is either because her marriage

was so perfect that...

My husband had a very happy marriage.

I see.

Does she just come out

when she gets ready?

I beg your pardon?

The model, Miss... Does she just come out?

I didn`t think.

Perhaps you would rather she wouldn`t.

I`m not exactly used to it.

Well, of course. How thoughtless of me.

I won`t be a moment.

As you say, either she`s got it or she hasn`t.

Come in.

I was just admiring this old jar.

It`s very odd, isn`t it?

Yes. It`s an old apothecary jar.

``P. Borat Sosa.``

Sounds like a Latvian diplomat.

-lt does, doesn`t it?

-Yes, it does.

-See you tomorrow, Mr. Corday.

-At 10:
.00.

So long, Mrs. Crandall.

Keep your mind on the folks at home.

She apparently had it.

-Had it?

-The curve.

Yes, she had it.

I should think it would

color your whole life, sort of.

-What?

-So much femininity.

You must look at women very differently.

I do.

-How?

-Other men look at a woman`s eyes.

I look at her bone structure.

-You do?

-Yes.

For instance, I can tell you

within 2 pounds what you weigh.

-Do I get it free if you miss?

-Go to dinner with me if I hit?

-How close do you have to be?

-Two pounds.

All right.

-A hundred and ten.

-That`s amazing! Right on the nose!

Thanks.

-You`re a liar, but thank you very much.

-What do you mean?

You weigh 120, but you knew I wanted

very much to have dinner with you.

I haven`t the faintest idea what I weigh.

I haven`t weighed lately.

I said thank you.

Anyway, it wouldn`t be possible to go

anywhere in weather like this.

-Why not?

-l`ll just get a cab and go back to the hotel.

-We can take a cab anywhere.

-Look at that rain.

Yes, look.

Now, you wouldn`t argue with the elements,

would you?

I am glad my father-in-law didn`t see that.

What?

He has some of the craziest ideas.

You`ll love this place.

The food is awful, the music is worse,

the proprietor is definitely insane,

there is gambling in the back room.

-Thank you. You`ll love it.

-Why?

Gilda La Verne. A real artist.

-What does she do?

-I believe they call it a strip tease.

That must be a great treat for you.

But Miss La Verne is a specialist.

You see, Miss La Verne keeps her hat on.

-That is positively radical, isn`t it?

-lt`s a tremendous success.

If only women could realize that

it`s modesty that is attractive to men.

-Here we are.

-Mr. Corday. Madame.

-Our table ready?

-You know it. And the wine, she is chilling.

Good for her.

I expect you to excel yourself, Leonardo.

We are honored with the mayor of...

I mean, with my friend,

Madame P. Borat Sosa,

who is in search for artists tonight

and I told her that you were an artist.

Did you say P. Borat Sosa?

I said P. Borat Sosa. It is Latvian.

Madame Sosa, you have put me in a mood...

I... Excuse me.

Madame P. Borat Sosa. Really!

What a ridiculous name.

You seemed to like it in my studio.

-That was because...

-Because what?

-Georg.

-Hello, Pete.

I want it. I`ve got to have it.

Just for a few days, Georg.

-Then you can have it back.

-l`m sorry, Pete.

I need it for myself.

You see, I only found it tonight.
