What reason could I give?

What reason did you give me?

None.

- Are you on a new book?

- Of course.

It's not about us, is it?

The one you threatened to write.

A book takes a year to write.

It's too hard work for revenge.

If you knew how little

you had to revenge.

I'm joking.

Yeah, we had a good time together.

We're adults, and we knew

it had to end sometime.

And now we can lunch

and talk about Henry.

I'm sorry.

This was stupid,

and I really shouldn't have called.

That cough needs attending to.

It's only a cough.

Good-bye, Maurice.

Good-bye.

- Your menu, sir.

- Thank you.

I'm sorry, but you have to realize

I'm jealous of everything that moves.

- I'm jealous of the rain.

- How can you be jealous of the rain?

Where did you get it?

Spain.

That was my war, I'm afraid.

It finished me off for this one.

You were shot. How romantic.

Not really.

They put a pin inside me.

I wondered about the limp.

Could I grow to love it?

And have you?

I have never, ever loved anyone

as much as you.

Yes?

A Mr. Parkis to see you, sir.

Show him in.

This way, please.

- I'll be with you in a minute, Mr...

- The name's Parkis.

Mr. Savage's man.

Sit down.

Take a cigarette.

Oh, no, sir.

Not on duty, sir.

Unless, of course,

for purposes of concealment.

But you're not on duty now.

Well, in a manner of speaking,

yes, sir.

I've just been relieved for half an hour

while I make my report.

So there's something to report?

It's not quite a blank sheet, sir.

Have me met

somewhere before, sir?

I don't think so.

Well, like I say, sir...

it's not quite a blank sheet.

But then it never is.

Me and my boy,

we followed the...

Your boy?

My son, sir.

Yeah, I'm teaching him

the business.

I mean, a boy can be useful

in all sorts of ways.

On the day in question, the party in

question went by tube to Piccadilly...

and proceeded

to the Park Lane Hotel.

She seemed quite agitated.

And there met a gentleman with whom

she was obviously quite close...

since they greeted each other

with an affectionate lack of ceremony...

and at one point...

although I cannot be certain of this...

held hands along the bar.

- They held hands?

- Yes, sir.

Gentleman pushed the lady's glass

towards her...

and...

the hand sort of stayed there...

for some time.

Which generally indicates

a squeeze of that nature.

After a short conversation,

they proceeded to a restaurant...

called...

Palmer's...

which was difficult to gain access to,

me being with the boy and all.

But I observed them

through the window.

And after a while,

the lady left...

laboring...

well, it seemed to me...

under great emotion.

Great emotion.

You're sure of that?
