Yeah... Yeah.

You know, l was just saying to...

Have you ever been to Denmark?

l've been to... Yes, to the Vatican.

The Vatican? The Vatican's in Rome.

Well, they were doing so well in Rome

that they opened one in Denmark.

l was just saying to someone the

other day that the Scandinavians

seem to have such an instinctive

feel for the human condition.

That's very wise.

You know, that's... l think, pithy.

lt was... pithy.

lt had... great pith.

Yeth. Pith.

Pith.

Lithen, l have to... Listen, l have

to go. l have a lot of work to do.

l'd love to have coffee,

but l don't have time.

- l have an early class tomorrow.

- lt'll just take a second.

l know, but l have more bells to ring

and l have an early class.

- Really? You a student?

- Yeah. City College.

That's a great school. l ate in their

cafeteria once. l got trichinosis.

- Oh. l'm a philosophy major.

- That's a wonderful subject.

Wonderful thing. What is the meaning

of life and death? Why are we here?

- You like Chinese food?

- Yeah. That sounds... When?

The night after tomorrow?

That's... l can't. l have a meeting

of my women's liberation group.

You're not... You don't have

hostility to the male sex?

Women's rights do not automatically

mean castration.

Don't say that word. Now l've got to

walk around like this for two days.

l know. l'm that way on that word

appendicitis. l can't take that.

- But castration.

- Castration, appendicitis. Either.

- No, there's a difference.

- No, there isn't.

What about Saturday?

Listen, why don't you take

my phone number here

and call me on Sat...

Call me on Saturday.

lt's those two pieces right there.

Ok? Bye. l may be bombing

an office building, but l'll find out.

- Ok. lt was nice to meet you.

- Nice meeting you, too.

Oh, wait. You forgot to sign my petition.

Sorry.

Nancy. You may call me Fielding.

l think Mr Mellish is a little formal.

The two of us together.

Fielding from the Latin meaning

''strong'' or ''with strength''.

You'll come to lean on that strength

after a while

and to know you can rely on me.

l've always been a great champion

of the underdog.

l think anyone could tell you that, my pet.

You see, Nancy, l've always

been devoted to humanity.

To a guy like me, the greatest crimes

are the crimes against human dignity.

How is it?

Can you hear the music clearly?

This should be a great seller in California.

You wanna play poker tonight?

We got room.

- l can't. l got an appointment.

- What kind?

- l'm gonna picket an embassy.

- What?

Don't worry. l know what l'm doing.

lt's a little light.

l'll get the shade.

- Do you have any candles?

- No. Why?

This light for the mood -
