You may laugh at that.

And we laughed at first.

But it soon became no joke,

I'm telling you.

For instance, one afternoon,

shortly after she'd met Mr. Barring...

- ... in our offi...

ASSOCIATE:
At this roadhouse?

DALVIK:
Oh, no, sir. That was only one

of several financial irons we had in the fire.

ASSOCIATE:

All of which were perfectly legal?

DALVIK:

Oh, yes, indeed, sir.

HERMAN:

There. How do you like that?

DALVIK:

I don't like it at all.

You wouldn't be lucky

if you played fair.

- I suppose you play fair?

- I did.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Anybody want a massage?

- Where's Anna? In her office?

- She's out shopping.

Shopping? What for?

Another veil, another trench coat, huh?

What the well-dressed gargoyle

will wear.

[DALVIK AND CHRISTINA

SNICKERING]

We mustn't make fun of one

of this earth's unfortunates.

- She may have come in her own door.

- I don't care if she did.

Shh!

What about...

...where you've been?

Mrs. Dr. Segert was home

and I gave her a massage.

- Did you ever see such a beautiful face?

- Shh!

For heaven's sakes, Bernard.

Anna isn't here.

And if I wanna say a woman's got

a pretty face, I'm going to.

Not here, not here.

And speaking of faces, my dear wife,

look at yours.

- Fix your hair.

- What's the matter with it?

Where's the mirror? Oh.

- Never have any mirrors around here.

- Mirrors are verboten here.

Anna has a slight prejudice

against them.

Oh, she has, has she? Well.

DALVIK:
Where'd that ace come from?

HERMAN:
Where do you think?

DALVIK:

From the bottom of the pack, I suppose.

HERMAN:
Well, I'll be.

DALVIK:
Go on beat that.

There. Is that more to your liking,

my lord and master?

Yes.

Now, what about Mrs. Segert?

Mrs. Segert swallowed the bait,

my turtledove.

- When will she be here?

- This afternoon, my pigeon.

- You wanna know something else?

- What?

- She has a pretty face.

- Shut up.

HERMAN:
Come on. It's your play.

Come on. It's your play.

What is this, a card game

or a family row? I'm sick and tired...

ANNA:

Is Mrs. Segert coming?

CHRISTINA:

This afternoon.

My dear, what a becoming hat.

[HERMAN WHISTLES]

What's the matter?

- It's beautiful, my dear.

- It's grand.

- Whiff of spring.

- It's lovely. Lovely.

I know all you dear, sweet people

are lying.

Even the moths were fed up

with my other hat.

CHRISTINA:

My dear, you never looked prettier.

- Really?

- It's divine.

Perfect.

- Christina.

- Yes?

I, uh...

I saw some blouses.

Lacey.

Look.

I bought two more of them

in different colors.

- No. Tsk-tsk-tsk.

- Yes.

HERMAN:

It's my lead.

DALVIK:
Last trick was mine.

Here, 10 of diamonds.

HERMAN:

It was my turn. You played the eight.
