and Rusty is moving on.

Like hell he is!

I'm calling my

lawyers right now,

I'll see both of you in court.

I thought that went well.

Good, good...

Well, we're going

to the Howell's now,

so we'll get back.

So tell Rusty about the site.

Yes, um, we called Garrett

to see if we could get you to

design a house for our

daughter on some land

we have up in Mullholland.

Yeah, well of course l

would have to see the property,

you know feel it out,

get an idea of the land.

Mother bought it years ago,

I haven't done much with it.

lt's about ten acres.

Ten acres, my God

on Mulholland.

More or less.

lt's some pretty spectacular

views if I say so myself.

Mr. Price, well Rusty,

if I can call you Rusty.

Oh, of course, I think I spent

about two years trying to get

you to call me

Rusty, Mrs. Howell.

Elaine.

Elaine.

The thing is Rusty that we're

so pleased with what you did,

we just wanted to give the

same pleasure to Brookie.

Uh huh.

You see Rusty what she

means-- what we mean is well,

turns out there's this

Gio Ponti up in the hills.

lt's unpublished and it's

unknown as well as untouched

and has been perfectly maintained

by the original builders.

Heard about it this

morning when I was playing golf.

And, um, well Rusty, we traded.

About 15 minutes before

you got here.

You would love it Rusty.

lt's got all the original furniture

that was built for the house.

lt was built by Venezuelan

copper magnet for his wife in

1955, she wanted to

be a film actress.

So you guys aren't

actually building anything?

That's right my boy,

we're giving her the Ponti.

The Gio Ponti.

We just went right ahead and

did the deed over martinis.

Beautiful, perfect.

That's great.

Our Two Architects.

Yeah.

Okay.

Okay, I'll call you later.

Rusty!

Look, I'm really

sorry, okay I didn't know.

I didn't know!

I mean, who trades

properties, right?

l've got some more news.

Being sued over the noitra.

Just got a call

from our lawyers.

Look Rusty, I'm

really sorry, l, l...

I didn't know!

Excuse me, do you have anything

stronger here than beer?

We have wine in

the case over there.

Could you help me find

it, I didn't see it.

You know why don't

you keep looking,

we're open all day.

Hey!

Would you get the man

his wine!

Do you want some wine?

Actually I want a dry martini, but

I don't think he'll get it for me.

Let me show you the

wine, it's over here.

Give me the keys.

What?

The keys, give me the keys.

Where am I going to sit!?

A taxi.

Nice.

I'm Denny.

I know you from somewhere.

Where?

You're a porn star aren't you?

I knew it when you

walked in and I thought,

that's what I want.

Aporn star.

I knew I wanted you
