Now there's the bastard

I know and love.

Do you remember Charlie Eisen?

Bob and Nancy

introduced him to us.

Yeah, he's a lawyer, isn't he?

Yeah.

He might be interested

in this house.

He was at the party last night,

and it seems as though he's

planning on getting married.

Hmm. Sounds like he's doing okay.

Who's the lucky girl?

Me.

How long have you been seeing him?

Oh, whenever you couldn't make it,

which adds up to

quite a bit of time.

I don't think I like

the idea of losing you.

No, I just think you don't like

the idea of losing, that's all.

(CHUCKLING)

Would you care for cocktails?

Yes. Two very dry

vodka martinis.

If that's all, then what's been

going on for the last six months?

(CHUCKLING) Not very much.

Don't you remember?

No strings? No ties?

No great need for each other?

Those were your rules.

Bless your heart,

you kept every one of them.

But I broke them all.

Anyway, you might remember

that for next time.

Anytime a girl

agrees to an arrangement

like that, she's

already in love with you.

It's just a question of appetite.

Crumbs or no cake at all.

I don't know what to say.

Well, I guess that says it all.

Let's order.

(DOORBELL CHIMING)

It's all I own.

I had to come for it.

Right over there.

I know it's not a very good one,

but then, I don't

play it very well either.

Hey, am I interrupting anything?

I mean, are you alone?

"Yes" to the first question and

"not anymore" to the second one.

Good. This is a really nice place.

Comfortable?

Oh, yeah. This couch is great.

Wow, you have a fireplace!

I love fireplaces. Does it work?

Yes, it works.

We used to have one back home,

but it was a phony, you know,

electric. You had to plug it in.

I'd like to play host,

but I have some work to do.

Oh! Don't let me bother you.

Go right ahead.

No, no, no. Really. I don't mind.

Gee, if I had a fireplace,

I'd keep it lit all the time.

Your name's Frank, right?

Frank Harmon.

I, uh... I saw it on your mailbox.

My name's Breezy.

Why isn't it lit?

Uh, I don't know.

I didn't see any reason to.

You're sure you don't mind?

No, no, no.

(CHUCKLING)

Say, I was wondering,

you wouldn't have

anything to eat,

oh, like an apple?

How about an apple?

Okay.

What happened?

You didn't score today?

No, no, no. Don't get

nasty or I might leave.

(CHUCKLING) Come on.

I don't know. Maybe it's a special

talent, but I'm forever finding things.

People, animals.

I found this cat once, and I took

him with me wherever I would go.

But I ran out of money.

I couldn't afford to feed him

anymore, and he ran away.

I know it must be a

painful subject, but, uh,

have you ever

considered getting a job?
