for Liverpool.

And where is Mrs. Adams

going to dress?

There is no Mrs. Adams.

Oh. Well...

now, do we have to go

to this silly old dinner?

The speaker will bore us,

and they won't miss us.

They'd miss him.

He's the speaker.

This happens to me all the time.

I once asked a butler

at the French embassy

If he cared

to waltz.

He waltzed

divinely.

You're right about the speech

being dull. I've heard it.

Well, we can go on to some

other place afterwards.

It's the only hope

for the evening.

What do you say, Anna?

Oh, I couldn't go.

Why not?

Well, for one thing,

Im not dressed.

Well, neither are they. We'll race them.

I couldn't possibly

be on time.

It doesn't matter

if we are late.

We've got the man

with the speech.

They can't start

without him.

Oh, she needs coaxing.

You coax her.

I'm an extra man. You'd make

the dinner come out even.

How many people are

going to be there?

Yes.

does look untidy.

You see? That's all I wanted

- An intelligent reason.

You change in there.

Last one dressed

is last.

Can I help you?

Whitehall 0-0-1-1.

Who in heaven's name

is that?

Stop breathing

so hard.

Oh, I didn't know

it showed.

Who is he? What is he? And speak slowly.

He's a very bright

gentleman

We are hoping will accept a job in NATO,

And we're not

having much luck.

Hello, Harris?

This is Mr. Munson.

One more

for our table.

Yes, a place card

for Miss Anna Kalman.

Uh, next to

Mr. Philip Adams.

Fine.

Well, what about

this Mr. Adams?

What do you want

to know?

Everything.

And I mean everything.

Well, I don't think he's

romantically attached,

Which is

what you're hinting.

I'm not hinting,

Im asking.

How do you know

he's not attached?

Well, we've had dinner

together. He's been alone.

So were you. Presumably.

That proves nothing.

That's right.

Well, I don't know what

he does after he leaves me.

I'll follow him

next time.

Of course

he hasn't any money.

You'll notice we're giving

this dinner about money.

He's the speaker. He must

have some connection with it.

There must be something

the matter with his health.

Hardly. He beat the squash

champion at my club last weekend.

You've got to be

pretty healthy to do that.

There must be a catch in it somewhere.

He couldn't have

escaped this long.

Well, we're anxious

to get him into NATO.

There aren't many like him

available as public servants.

I'm not interested

in the public.

So you see...

we find ourselves,

I think

Im permitted to say,

In a small dilemma.

We have spiraling inflation

on one hand

And contracting credit

on the other.

But even that

is no real cause for alarm

Since we are actually
