or I'll take this knife

and cut your f***ing balls off".

A really well-bred person

would not have repeated that.

Dinner.

- Did she really say that?

- She said that, yeah.

Really?

I never heard her talk like that.

I think Marilyn was very brave.

I wish I could have

done something like that.

No, a well-bred person

wouldn't have repeated that.

I'm sorry.

- All right, come on, let's cut that out.

- Okay.

Listen, I wanna say something,

even though it's a little awkward.

It's silly.

You ought to be able to have a man

and a woman to dinner together...

without everyone thinking

that it's something arranged.

In other words, this is not a fix up.

It's so nice to see you both.

It's been a wonderful evening.

Just wonderful. Don't hurt her, Phil.

- What are you talking about?

- She's a terrific woman.

She's an extraordinarily gifted

nursery school teacher.

She's gone back to school to get

her Master's in Child Development.

She's getting it together.

And I, for one, don't want her hurt.

I'm not even sure I'm gonna ask her out.

Why? Because she doesn't

have large breasts?

Now, you bundle up.

It's cold outside. Take care of yourself.

Where are your mittens?

We'll have to do this a lot more often.

Bye-bye.

- Good night.

- Good night.

I think that went pretty well.

Well, what did you...

Oh, dear.

You wanna go out tomorrow night?

- How long have you been separated?

- One month.

You wanna go out tomorrow night?

No. Look...

I mean, really. You have been separated

for a very short time.

Marva knows how I feel about that.

I guess that's why she didn't...

Anyway, it's a very intense time for you.

- I'm not that intense. I'm a little intense.

- Right.

Forget it.

In the old days, I'd have already been

calling my girlfriends...

to tell them about you.

So don't feel bad. In fact,

I'd like it if you called me later on.

How much later?

Three, four months.

Do you know anybody

I can go out with now?

Now?

I feel funny

waiting three or four months to call you.

Yes. I can see your point.

- Hello.

- Hi. It's me.

It's so incredible that you called now.

What is it, Jessie?

What?

- I'm sorry.

- Sorry? What, are you kidding?

There's nothing to be sorry about.

What's going on?

What's wrong, Jessie?

Nothing. I just got off the phone.

They're gonna release my song

as a single.

They expect these great things.

I just can't believe

this is actually taking place.

I'm actually living my fantasy.

Wonderful. Congratulations.

It's just perfect

that you're the first to hear.

Perfect.

Well, how are you?

Great. I have this great house...

an apartment. And, you know...

I have a great view of the trees.
