Reflections in a Golden Eye Page #5

Oh, and we're going to start off

by serving hot rolls...

...and hot little cheese biscuits

and stuff like that.

Oh, and I'm gonna have

the punch bowl in the corner.

And for those that like their liquor straight

I'll have on the sideboard...

...eight bottles of Kentucky bourbon...

...five of rye...

...five of scotch...

Oh, and listen, I'm bringing in

an entertainer from out of town...

...who will play the accordion,

and later on...

But who on earth

is going to eat all that food?

Well, the whole shebang.

I've invited everybody...

...from Old Sugar and his wife on down.

Leonora, how can you call

a commanding general "Old Sugar"?

Oh, Alison, I've known Julius

practically all my life.

Why, he was my daddy's chief of staff.

Oh, Alison, I wanna ask you a favor.

Do you think Anacleto

could please serve the punch for me?

Well, I'm sure Anacleto

would be delighted.

Oh, thank you, honey.

Oh, and Susie's two brothers

are helping out in the kitchen.

- I've never seen anything to equal it.

- By the way, is Susie married?

Susie? Oh, good heavens, no.

She won't have anything to do with men.

She was caught when she was

about 14 years old...

...and she's never forgotten. But why?

I was almost sure I saw someone

come out of your house by the back door...

...just before dawn.

You just imagined it, honey.

Perhaps so.

- Alison?

- Yes.

I hope you'll forgive my saying this...

...but I really don't see

how you're gonna get any better...

...staying in this dark room all day long.

Now, whenever I'm sick

or tired or nervous...

...I get on the back of a horse

and I ride myself better.

Now, I know you could do

the same thing.

I know you can ride. Why, you told me

you used to foxhunt, didn't you?

Yes.

Did I ever tell you about the time

I was out foxhunting...

...with a 13-year-old girl, the whipper-in,

and she broke her neck?

Yes, you have told me every

terrible detail five times.

Your lunch, Madame Alison.

Oh, lunchtime? I've gotta go...

...but listen,

I'll see you later on tonight...

...and you be there at 4:30, okay?

Now, don't you see me out to the door.

I'll see you later, honey, okay? Bye-bye!

Anacleto,

I am going to divorce the colonel.

Madame Alison,

where shall we go after that?

That I have not yet decided.

- Do you think we might live in a hotel?

- It's a possibility.

Or we could run

a prawn boat somewhere.

We could live on the boat.

How much money

do you have in the bank?

$425.06.

Do you want me to draw it out?

No, not now,

but we might need it later.

I'll kill you,

you dirty bastard.

Please.

Oh, God.

My daddy was an eight-goal man.

I got up to four goals once myself.
