Blind Date Page #2

"Reasonably" doesn't begin

to describe it.

I'm looking at her picture now.

She's an honest-to-God knockout.

Ted, just this once, please.

The truth.

Susie, tell Walter Nadia's pretty.

She's very pretty, Walter.

- When was the picture taken?

- Four years ago.

Four years? She could've been

disfigured in four years!

- She could've gained 100 pounds!

- She's gorgeous! Stop it!

I almost forgot!

Don't get her drunk.

She loses control completely.

But don't get her drunk. If you do...

...she loses control!

Loses her inhibitions,

or she pees on the floor?

What's "lose control" mean?

Oh, you know, she gets real wild.

She gets real wild!

All right! I may kill you later,

but I'm doing this now...

...before I change my mind.

- Walter?

- Yeah.

Come on in.

I'll just be a minute.

I hope you don't mind

helping me with my suitcase.

I'm moving out of here.

I'll be staying with a friend.

If you feel like it,

a friend's having an art exhibit.

If we have time before dinner,

maybe we could go?

Yeah, no problem.

Well, here goes, Walter. Ready or not.

Oh, damn it!

This has been going on all night.

There may be some matches over there.

Let me look.

It may be over there.

Here.

Now this is a blind date.

Here's your chance to run for it.

Your very last chance.

You missed your chance.

I'm glad.

I had no idea.

Do you know this artist?

I've met him once.

He's Susie's friend.

I mean, coming was her idea.

We can go.

- I don't have any obligation to him.

- No, come on.

We're both adults, aren't we?

I thought I was.

I don't know. Maybe I'm not now.

Can I ask you something?

Yeah, I guess so.

Why didn't you have a date tonight?

Is there something I should know?

I can't imagine why you don't

have a date every night of the week.

Know what? I was thinking

the same about you.

- Come on, I'm serious.

- Me too. I was thinking that.

I asked you first.

I stopped dating

about three months ago.

I was involved,

but it didn't work out.

Boy, how it didn't work out. So I was

living in Baton Rouge with my mama.

And you're my first date.

But you almost weren't.

Susie talked me into it...

...l'm glad to say.

So how about you?

Well, my date backed out

at the last minute...

...l'm glad to say.

You want some candy?

I'm not much of a candy person.

That's good.

I always was a candy person.

Some people drink,

some people do drugs. I do sugar.

This looks Japanese.

"Master and Concubines"?

It's Yakamoto.

- What is?

- The big business dinner tonight...

...is for this Japanese industrialist

new client of ours.

He's old-world Japanese.

His wife's like his slave...

...and he keeps concubines.

- You're kidding.
