Together Again Page #5

-Sure. Come on.

It disappeared right through the window.

Step back, everybody back.

This is most embarrassing to me. Please!

-This is most embarrassing.

-Officer, what are you doing?

Release this lady immediately.

Everybody that works here gets pulled in.

But you don`t understand,

she doesn`t work here. She...

Please!

-My name is P. Borat Sosa.

-Sure.

-l`m Latvian.

-Yes. We know.

Get your early morning paper!

-Good morning, Mrs. Crandall.

-Good morning.

-Good morning, Mrs. Crandall.

-Will you give me my key, please?

I was rather worried

when you didn`t come back all night.

-A woman alone in New York...

-You shouldn`t have worried.

I met some friends.

Strip poker.

You had several calls.

-I beg your pardon?

-A Mr. Corday.

Thank you.

If Mr. Corday calls again, will you just say

that I checked out hours ago?

Yes, indeed.

And that I have definitely

made other arrangements.

You`ll be sure he gets that message,

won`t you?

Of course.

-Good morning, sir.

-Good morning.

I am Mr. Corday. Mrs. Crandall, is she in?

No, sir, no.

Mrs. Crandall checked out several hours ago.

But that`s impossible.

She was only released...

I mean, l`m sure she couldn`t have.

She said she did, Mr. Corday.

And with us,

the customer is still always right.

She went further, Mr. Corday.

She said to tell you

she has made other arrangements.

I see.

-Hey, lady! You forgot your hat.

-So I did. Thank you so much.

You almost left it in the hotel, too,

remember?

You ought to put a bell on that.

Yes, thank you. That`s an idea.

It`s good to see you again, Father.

-And to have you home.

-lt`s nice to be home.

Everything all right at the office, Lillian?

-Yes, Your Honor, l...

-You look tired.

It`s quite a trip rushing to New York

and rushing right back again.

Have any fun?

Fun? That`s hardly what I went for, is it?

How`s Diana?

Poisonous.

Lady!

You left this in your seat.

I...

-I almost didn`t catch you.

-That`s right. You almost didn`t.

Tell me, did you really get a new hat?

It`s just something I happened to see.

Did it make any difference?

Nonsense.

Everything all right at the office, Lillian?

-I told you, l...

-Oh, yes. That`s right.

What`s the matter with you?

You`re jumpy as an old cat.

That`s not very complimentary, darling.

The sculptor. Mr... What`s his name? Corday.

Can`t take the job. Isn`t that a shame?

-He can`t?

-Why not?

All booked up for years, practically.

But never mind, we`ll get somebody else.

He`s not the only sculptor in the world.

Really, l...

The way Mr. Witherspoon leaves trash

lying around, I think it`s a disgrace.

I`m certainly going to speak to him

about that.

It`s a disgrace.

-Did you get the x-ray machine, Your Honor?

-The what?

No, no.

The only one I saw was

of a much too high voltage to be safe.

Was that the trouble with the sculptor, too?

Oh, you.

Hello, Jessie.

I`m glad you`re back.

New York`s no place for a nice woman.

Never mind, l`ll take the things upstairs.

I`m not decrepit yet.

And don`t you make me out to be.

I think l`d better help her.

-Anne.

-Yes, Father?

-What happened to you in New York?

-Happened? To me?

Now, what could possibly happen to me

in New York?

-I could only hope.

-Well, I am sorry to disappoint you, darling.

I called you at the hotel.

-You did?

-At 7:
:00 in the evening and you weren`t in.

Naturally, I had to eat, didn`t l?

I called you again at 6::00 the next morning

and still you weren`t in.

I wasn`t?

No, you wasn`t.

It must have been a very becoming hat.

-Father.

-What is it, Anne?

-I was in jail.

-What?

I was in jail all night

for giving an indecent performance.

Anne Crandall, what are you talking about?

I didn`t do it. I didn`t do anything.

Father.

The minute I saw him lying there

on that couch I knew I should leave.

It`s just one of those things you know.

What couch?

He was asleep in his studio when I got there.

-Who?

-The sculptor.

I started to leave,

I had my hand on the door and...

And what?

It thundered and woke him up.

So it thundered and woke him up.

Don`t get that silly smirk on your face.

It often thunders, doesn`t it?

And cloudbursts stop suddenly, don`t they?

It`s perfectly normal.

Sure, sure. Well, l`m anxious to see him.

-See who?

-The man Jonathan seems to approve of,

that`s who.

I knew you`d say something silly like that.

You`re not going to see him, idiot,

because I fired him.

For pity`s sake, quit your sniveling.

The world is full of artists, worse luck.

Heathens, all of them!

I just had my heart set on this one, that`s all.

That`s mighty funny. Where is your dress?

-What?

-Your good black dress?

I`ve unpacked everything. It isn`t here.

Jessie, I told you l`d unpack!

I`ve been unpacking for you for 10 years.

I don`t know why, all of a sudden,

l`m not capable of...

You`re perfectly capable.

I wish you`d go all go away

and let me alone for a minute.

I have people downstairs.

Diana, please don`t act

as if you`re going to die.

You probably wouldn`t have

liked the man, anyway, darling.

He was positively ancient, to begin with.

He probably wouldn`t have lived

to finish the statue.

And you know something?

He had a beard down to here.

A perfect bird`s nest of a beard.

-lsn`t that disgusting?

-A beard?

He did?

He was all grey, too,

and he kind of sniffled all the time.

Mother, why didn`t you tell me this before?

Well, I just didn`t happen to

think of it before.

-What on Earth is this?

-What does it look like?

I`d dislike to say in front of children.

-And what is it doing under the bed?

-Was it under the bed?

I imagine we`d find a lot of things

under there if we`d just look.

Of course,

if you`re criticizing my housekeeping...

Jessie, don`t be so droopy.

Can`t you see Mother is upset

over the way her trip turned out?

Come on, Mother, l`ll go downstairs with you

and tell those people

what a really narrow escape we all had.

He certainly sounds nauseating.

But I don`t see what difference it

makes what he looks like, if he...

It makes all the difference in the world,

that`s all.

He`s got to have vitality, doesn`t he?

It`s going to be a big statue, isn`t it?

Please.

You left the matter to my discretion,

and I simply decided he wouldn`t do,

that`s all.

We`ll get somebody else.

Now, if you will excuse me,

it was rather a tiring trip.

It`s certainly a shame

that nothing came of it.

If he was too old to handle the job,

I wouldn`t think he would have made

an appointment to talk about it.

I think he would have enjoyed the work,

if he could have gotten it.

I guess when you`re dealing with an artist,

you never do know what will happen.

-No, they`re very unpredictable people.

-I guess...

-What`s the matter?
