So am I.

Where are the papers?

- In the tuxedo pocket.

- And where's the tuxedo?

A friend's got it.

He manages the music store upstairs.

Put these on.

Put your arm around that crate.

Are handcuffs a thing with you

or what?

- I'll free you when I get my papers.

- Free me? We're friends now?

Did you buy my story

about the accident?

No.

Are you the manager?

- That's right.

- I'm a friend of Fred's.

Fred?

- The guy who left his tuxedo with you.

- The blond?

- Yes.

- He didn't leave it with me.

Thanks, Big Bill.

- You should quit screwing around.

- Yeah, I know.

I don't understand.

Do you find this funny?

Let's get some coffee.

I'm going to count to three.

One.

What a dump!

Put that toy away.

You don't need it down here.

Nobody shoots florists.

You're a real mess.

Just look at you.

You've got grease stains

on your lapel.

Put this on.

I'll have yours dry-cleaned.

No, thanks.

Do you know Fred?

The blond guy who was over there?

Fred? He's an old friend.

We've known each other for years.

Is he always like that?

Just what do you know

about him?

Almost nothing.

Amazing.

No feelings, no friends...

...just a touch of passion.

You're made for each other.

How about a bouquet?

Damn it!

What the hell is she doing?

We're closing now.

Beat it. Come on, let's go.

- What are you doing here?

- Keeping the young lady company.

- Bullshit! You drank my whiskey.

- Your rotten booze? Certainly not.

Are you two done arguing?

Put one of these in the bathtub

with the flowers at night.

Put the flowers in headfirst.

There you are.

Beat it, will you?

Go on! Go!

Isn't he charming?

I'll leave the bag here

in case you need something.

Lady, gentlemen.

He drinks my scotch, so when I invite

someone over, there's none left.

If it happens again,

I'm moving.

Is there any place to get

something to eat? I'm starving.

What are you waiting for?

Meet me at the bar near the entrance

to the station at 8:00.

Make it 9:
00.

See you tomorrow.

I'd give you a picture of me

to stare at, but you already have one.

What's on your mind now?

Nothing.

Your eyes have changed colour.

And you don't like that?

No.

Your whole face

has changed colour.

It's like you're glowing.

I'd almost say you weren't interested

in those papers anymore.

Could it be

you're interested in me?

Yeah.

- I'm what you want?

- Yeah.

Well, you can't have me.

Shall we dance?

- Why do I love you?

- Because I'm an amazing woman.

Why don't you love me?

Because I don't have the guts.

Are you lazy?

Terribly.

- Who does the cooking at your house?

- The cook.

- And the housework?

- The housekeeper.

And the lovemaking?

May I?

Hey, how's it going?
