like a real conspirator.
The professional word is
"shill," Mrs. Boothe.
This is very
kind of you, Mr...
Mr. Corrigan.
Mr. Corrigan.
If you're here for the cure, maybe you
and I could get together for dinner.
If I'm here for the what?
The cure.
Six weeks
in the Nevada sunshine
and you rid yourself
of whatever ails you.
You know, lumbago,
matrimony, the common cold.
Your kindness
overwhelms me.
Oh, good.
How about this evening?
I'm afraid not,
thank you.
My husband hates
to eat alone.
Then he gave me
this stack of chips.
But for a moment there, I expected
him to produce a length of hose
and go to work on me.
Well,
compared to your day,
gonna make pretty dull copy.
No such thing.
Here, now, cut it out. I'll
give you a full report at dinner.
Why don't you
phone down for a table?
David, it's 7:
30 in Chicago.Don't you think
we ought to call Ruth?
Now, look, Joan, we went
all through that yesterday.
You're a big girl now
and so is your sister.
Yes, I know, but this is the first
time we've left her home alone.
Well, it's not going
to be the last.
She shouldn't be living
with us in the first place.
Oh, that's not fair, David. After
all, living together wasn't her idea.
Wasn't it?
Anyhow, didn't you send her
a wire the minute we got here?
Yes, but I wouldn't
want her to think that we...
Oh, well,
you know how she is.
Yeah. I have an idea she'll manage to
survive without us for these few days.
And I'm sure
Dining room, please.
Operator? Operator,
I want to call Chicago.
Elmwood 06321.
And operator,
reverse the charges, please.
Mrs. David Boothe.
No, no, I'll hold on.
Hello? Hello, Ruth.
How are you, darling?
Oh, fine, thanks.
What? But, Ruth, we've
only been here two days.
What? I can't under... What's
wrong, darling? Why are you crying?
Yes, you are.
I can hear you.
Oh, no. No, of course not.
It had nothing to do with you.
You know David has to do
that series on the dam.
Well, just a few more days.
Oh, Ruth, that's absurd.
But I just told you that...
Well, do you want
to come all the way out here?
Ruth, Ruth, I've got to hang
up. Somebody's at the door.
Goodbye, darling...
Yes. Yes, yes, goodbye.
Line's busy.
Well, looks like you picked
Well, it's quite
a place, that dam.
Wait till you
see it tomorrow.
Tomorrow?
Sure. You're coming out
with me, aren't you?
I've lined up some camera angles
that'll take your breath away.
Dining room, please.
Does it make
any sense, actually?
They must have files
packed with shots.
Oh, thank you.
I'll call again.
