is proud to present...

Miss Kitty Haynes.

Ours could be a different sort

of love affair

Those busybodies

couldn`t help but stare...

l think our poetic

little archaeologist...

is about to make a discovery.

Ain`t life swell?

Open the champagne.

l feel like getting

plushed to the scuppers.

Let`s take it

one day at a time

And who cares

just how it turns out?

Check, please.

Miss, could l have

the check, please?

Come on, the man

wants his check!

Sorry. Here you go.

So what were you thinking about?

A penthouse, the desert,

and kissing on a dance floor.

So you did go to the movies

last night after all.

The people were so beautiful.

They spoke so cleverly

and do such romantic things.

The guy playing Tom Baxter

was so cute!

Do you want to go

to the movies after work?

l would love to see it again.

What is this, a social club?

l got a sink full of dishes.

Come on, girls!

Thanks a lot.

Well, l am impressed.

You have yourself

quite a place here.

l still can`t get over the fact

that 24 hours ago...

l was in an Egyptian tomb.

l didn`t know any

of you wonderful people...

and here l am now.

l`m on the verge

of a madcap Manhattan weekend.

l hope you like

your martinis very dry.

No, thanks.

l`ll wait for that glass

of champagne at the Copacabana.

l`m home, Monk.

What are you

doing home so early?

l thought l said

you can go to the movies.

l did.

l`d better go.

No, don`t, stay.

This is Cecilia.

This is my friend Olga.

Olga`s an acrobat.

l am not!

l have to go home.

Come on. l was gonna

tell you your fortune.

You`re drunk.

What do you mean?

l`m not drunk.

Come on, don`t worry about her.

She`s my ball and chain,

or she tries to be.

Olga, where the hell

are you going?

l want to show you a card trick.

ls there any more

of that meat loaf left?

That stuff you made

yesterday was delicious.

What`s going on?

l`m moving out.

Now, what are you talking about?

What`s wrong?

Because of before?

Because of Olga, is that it?

That`d be funny. Ridiculous.

lf it`s because of Olga...

you`d make a bigger fool

out of yourself than usual.

Pardon me.

She`s Joe Caruso`s sister.

l was just showing her

a card trick.

Your undershirt`s on backwards.

l put it on that way

this morning.

Now listen, Cecilia,

you`re making a mistake.

All right, l`m sorry.

l was drinking.

You know how l get.

Do you think l don`t love you?

Move.

You can`t leave. l need you.

And you know l love you.

Look, l made a mistake.

-You don`t love me.

-Baby, come on.

You treat me bad,

and you beat up on me!

l hit you when

you get out of line.

And l never just hit you.

l always warn you first.

Then if you don`t shape up,
