You can stay with Andr if you want.

But I'll miss you,

and you need to come if you'd like.

We'll have fun. Good-bye.

You brought your keys.

I brought them back to you.

You brought them back to me.

The keychain was a gift.

I'm returning it.

Were you on the phone?

Yeah. I just hung up.

You want a whiskey?

No.

Well, I'm gonna have one.

You sure I can't get you something?

No, I won't stay long.

I shouldn't have come here.

I'm regretting it already.

I think you came here

because it's dangerous.

I'm gonna get some ice.

Are you hungry?

No.

I got Lebanese.

For two?

Of course.

Looks pretty good.

You might change your mind.

You said you'd lend me money.

A few months went by,

I don't know what happened.

Maybe you forgot.

A million dollars is pretty hard to forget.

That's an awful lot of money.

Not for you.

Yeah, for me and for anyone.

Why didn't you keep your promise, Miles?

Well, I kind of thought it was a high price

to pay for getting dumped, first of all.

Don't.

If I'd had bought that club

for you in Beijing,

I never would've seen you again.

It was an investment.

One investment.

Where are you gonna run

the investment from? Paris?

Sure. Why not?

You have companies in places

you've never even been to.

By not giving you the money,

I had a chance that you would

come back to me

after you got done being angry.

And it looks like I calculated

the right way, because here you are.

I get paid for calculating.

I hear you don't get paid

as much these days.

Is that what you heard?

Yeah.

I've made a few bad investments,

that's for sure.

And I've moved around some money

to places maybe

where it shouldn't have gone,

but everyone's just trying

to feel their way back.

People say you're finished.

You know, I read, um...

an article about you in an online

business magazine.

It said you got f***ed by the Japanese

when you were betting on the yen.

And you got f***ed by the Russians

when you bought an obsolete

petro-chemical plant.

It also said you've been sucking

their c*cks ever since

to try and control the damage.

You know what they called you?

Perfect clich of bygone times.

You're reading business magazines now?

Sometimes, when I'm going for a laugh.

Made me laugh.

If I'd have given you that money,

I never would've seen you again.

I don't need your money.

Keep it so you can buy

a petro-chemical plant.

In Russia.

Well, if you don't want the money,

then what do you want?

I don't know.

I just came here to see what it was

that obsessed me so much.

Well, what did you find?

I can't see it. It's gone now.

What do you see?

I see, um,

a run-of-the-mill businessman...

alone...

divorced...
