Synopsis: Successful architect Don Gresham (William Holden) engages a young actress, Patty O'Neill (Maggie McNamara), in conversation on top of the Empire State Building, and she accepts his invitation to dinner. Dropping in at his apartment on the way, they decide to dine there as Patty announces herself an excellent cook. Don slips out to buy food, and Patty is briefly visited by his ex-fiancée, Cynthia Slater (Dawn Addams), and not too briefly, by Cynthia's father David (David Niven), a middle-aged, practiced charmer who, on her invitation, stays to dinner. A slight accident at the table occasions Patty to change her dress for Don's bathrobe. While Don is away placating the jealous Cynthia, David loses no time in offering Patty a proposal of marriage and a six hundred dollar gift. She accepts the latter and is surprised by Don in a grateful kiss to David.

Weekend?

Okay.

A later.

Who is Mike?

- A friend of mine.

Are you angry?

- No. Why?

You hang up so fast.

I had nothing to tell him.

I could not dine with him.

You could chat.

I always chat with my friends.

I have no doubt.

Or will you put her photo?

With my winter socks.

Who wrote it?

BASTARD!

Probably the maid.

Why

she would treat you bastard?

I do not give him tips.

Needles.

You will what? Martini?

I just want a little lemonade.

- I'm sorry, I do not have lemon.

Too bad,

I confine myself to an olive.

An olive.

Give me your jacket.

Where is the button?

Jacket ...

Button.

A Picasso litho.

Like it?

No, I find it appalling.

If your apartment was to me,

I embarrassed.

Me, I love it.

- Put it in the room?

She is well and she stayed.

What love cooking!

If you saw our oven!

Vicki argues that the date of the flood.

This is my room-mate.

And mill waste!

Vicki marry anyone

for a kitchen with grinder.

The martini, you do not like?

I liked it but I do not drink any more.

Why?

It is posh drinking

when you do not feel very.

I can take off my shoes?

- Remove what you want.

You have pretty feet.

- Thank you.

Do you have a mistress?

A mistress? Is not

expression a bit dated?

It's old fashioned but explicit.

Did you?

You ask these question?

You are single

and you seem at ease.

Most singles

have one.

We do not ask people

suddenly they have a mistress.

Me, though. It saves time.

We always know sooner or later.

Did you?

Actually, no.

- So much the better. I'm happy.

Why do not you?

You are not obliged to answer.

I think maybe

it's posh to have a mistress

when you do not feel very.

It is very fair.

And Cynthia ...?

- It was not my mistress.

I did not say that.

- You were going to say.

You're really

any more engaged?

Any more.

She is very cute.

It has a nice chin.

Home, everything is nice.

- So she was your mistress!

No, nothing of the sort!

If you say

that everything is beautiful in it is ...

Sex great concern to you.

Me?

- Yes, you.

You really believe that?

You ask

if you want to seduce you,

if you like virgins,

if you have a mistress.

If sex does not concern you ...

That may be true.

But it is better than I am

qu'occupe concerned with sex.

Now that you actually two.

It started to rain.

When you broke up with Cynthia?

It happened last night or this morning.

Between.

That is why

she wrote "bastard"?

You did not believe in the right?

- Not for a second.

It makes you much trouble?

- You think so?

I asked you if you loved

and yet you hesitated.

She has left a void in my heart.

- Why did you break up?

You ask too many questions.

I'm sorry.

It is not by indiscretion.
