I Know What I'm Doing Page #2

---

Tells great long stories.

I'll tell Stanley to take

your bags up to the big house.

I'll walk up with you later.

[June] Hello?

Where's Mrs. Watts?

Some big fuss up at the

main house about a wedding.

Marriage never interested me.

Rather be out on the river, fishing,

than under the spell of a woman.

Last time I was in a London pub,

two politicians were

having a heated debate.

Finally, one of them jumps up

and yells at the other.

What about the powerful

interest that controls you?

At which the other screams back,

you leave my wife out of this.

Spellbound?

Hypnotised by a woman?

Not for me, old chap.

Not for all the coffee in Brazil.

Now now, Major.

Ms. Bennett might be the kind of woman

a man would enjoy being spellbound by.

Sorry, Ms. Bennett, my bachelor views

are not meant to offend.

None taken, Major,

marriage is not for everyone.

Nowadays, people seem to

view marriage as a trap

rather than a joyous event.

I still think it's the right thing to do.

Call me old fashioned, but

I still believe in marriage.

If the match is right.

Well, of course, that

goes without saying.

You're like an Exocet missile, Geoffrey,

always popping up out of the blue.

Mrs. Watts has no idea

you're coming, has she?

None.

I am scheduled to meet

Mrs. Watts this afternoon.

She's my cousin.

She manages the estate.

Oh.

Damn good manager.

She married a southerner,

in the Merchant Marine.

She bought this place

with her inheritance.

It's not much.

But it has character.

It's Briley.

She's gonna be over the

moon to see you, my boy.

Howden!

You Yorkshire, stubborn, son of an ox.

Where there's muck

there's brass, Mrs. Watts.

Good of you to come and

see me after all this time.

Stay for lunch, won't you?

You never turn down a free meal.

This is Ms. Bennett.

Our missing guest?

Stanley didn't tell me

you pirated her from us.

Welcome to Caldwell.

Lovely to meet you.

I hope you don't mind

me being in your home.

The Major very kindly

offered me a cup of tea.

In New York we do nothing but

drink coffee all day long.

It's just not as charming.

Not at all.

I haven't had a sensible conversation

with a woman in months.

Sorry about the mess.

I should really do the place up

but Mr. Watts doesn't

want to spend a penny.

It's Howden vs. Watts every

time we talk about it.

Who's going to win?

[Briley] Howden, of course.

Now, Ms. Bennett.

What's your first name?

I'm June.

Grand name.

Your name has honesty.

Doesn't it have honesty, Geoffrey?

Absolutely.

Briley is waiting for someone

to make an honest man of Geoffrey.

Some girl with the pedigree

of an over bred dog.

When I was a young

lieutenant in the Falklands
