Who?

Uh, Mr. Stuart?

Gordon, Gordon Stuart.

Mr. Gordon Stuart.

Um, okay, could you ask him

to come up, please?

Yeah, you can go up.

It's apartment 16-B.

Thank you very much.

( doorbell rings )

Come on in, Mr. Stuart.

Hi.

I'm sorry.

I'm not quite ready.

You apologize too much.

Okay.

No more apologies?

Come on in.

Would you like

some tea or coffee?

No, thank you.

Maybe some beer.

I've got a terrific

French beer.

Yeah, beer would be fine.

Uh... would you mind...

helping yourself

while I get dressed?

Sure.

Thanks.

It's right there

in the fridge.

Shall I open one for you?

No, thanks.

Kathy hasn't been bugging you,

has she, about...

about listening to my stuff?

No, no,

not at all.

And I've got to say,

she's really crazy

about it.

She's beautiful.

I think so, too.

And I really want

to thank you

for being so great with her.

It's not just the music,

but it's the way

you understand her.

( chuckles ):

I think she's got one of those classic

crushes on you.

( chuckles )

How do you know Gage?

Pardon?

How do you know Sean Gage?

Oh, I met him

at some party.

An opening back

in New York.

Come on, sit down.

What were you doing,

playing "Chopsticks"

with him?

You know what,

I think we were.

He's got something to do

with classical music.

Modern classical music.

Well...

( chuckles )

Well, what I mean is not pop.

I teach the stuff.

I wrote to him once.

Wanted to send him something

I'd done.

What happened?

Nothing happened.

I like to teach.

I'm curious about what kind

of music you do.

Is it like Sean Gage?

Well...

it is electronic.

But, um...

I also add natural sounds.

And then I get variations by

utilizing modifying devices.

I also use synthesizers.

And-and now I'm

into using lasers.

( chuckles )

Look, why don't I just play it

for you now

and then if I have to,

explain it later, okay?

Sure.

( dissonant electronic

music playing )

( phone ringing )

Excuse me.

( music continues playing )

Hello?

Steve.

Where are you?

The airport?

Oh, really.

Hang on a second.

I'll... I'll only be

a few minutes.

Could you hang up

the phone

when I get to

the other room?

Sure.

Please?

Thank you.

( dissonant electronic

music continues )

Got it.

Thanks.

CHRIS:

How long did you say

that meeting's

going to be?

I've got it.

Could you hang up

the phone, please?

STEVE ( on phone ):

Hey, come on.

Your man's not even out of town

and you've got a party going.

Of course we'll miss you.

( dissonant electronic

music continues )

CHRIS ( over music ):

You know I'm crazy...

( music stops )

...about you.

Yeah.

Look, Steve, I know.

I know.

Okay.

Look, can I

call you back?
