The Saxon Charm Page #2

Why don't we go there

while we have the chance?

We'd be cool, there. And I certainly

could use a swim right now.

That little hideaway is

just what we both need.

This heat is making us slap-happy.

Look .. could you pack for both of us

and meet me at the airport at 5:30?

Could I?

And this time I'll even pack

some of the things you need.

You tell that lawyer of yours, that

wives will wait, but airplanes won't.

Hello? Yes.

See? If you want action, all you

have to do is threaten to leave town.

Mr Saxon, didn't the buzzer

work? I have Mr Busch for you.

Yes, I know.

Why don't you talk?

He's not ..

Oh hello.

Hello, Eric.

Can I expect you at my

office in fifteen minutes?

Oh .. I have to meet

with my lawyer first.

Could you make it two hours from now?

This is imperative. There is a

man here I want you to meet.

Call your lawyer and tell him

you'll see him some other time.

Alright. What's his name? I'll call him.

No, no, no. I'll call him.

Alright, fifteen minutes.

He didn't say whether

he liked the play or not.

You didn't ask him. Better run along

and find out. I'll call the lawyer.

I don't know. I wish he'd

given me some kind of a hint.

Eric, I'm delighted to see you. You're

on time. We're not to be disturbed.

I warn you, I've improved

beyond all competition.

Here. And don't step beyond that

line and the carpet. Darts?

What of the man you wanted me to meet?

Oh.

Send in Zack Humber. He's waiting in

another office. I forgot all about him.

May I ask who Zack Humber is? And

whether or not you liked my play-script?

Zack Humber - Eric Busch.

Eric Busch - Zack Humber.

Zack is the only man I know who

temperamentally aims to be a billionaire.

Most of us only want to be

millionaires, but not Zack.

Sorry to keep you waiting, Zack.

What detains you, Eric?

Don't worry about me. I used the time to

close a big deal on the phone out there.

And it's okay with my wife for tonight.

Fine, and how about Mrs Busch?

How about "what" about Mrs Busch?

Oh yes, I forgot to tell you. We're

all dining together to celebrate.

Celebrate?

Has it occurred to you that I'm going

to do your play, and Zack will back us?

Well, it's a limited

partnership for tax reasons.

Then you like the play?

Like it? I was entranced by it. You made

a transition from novels to playwright.

Without losing one iota of your talent.

Well, I'm glad to hear you say that.

Well, I think the play is sensational.

When did you read it?

Matt told it to me.

It is terrific. You know, I never

knew that Molire had it so tough.

You never knew there was a Molire.

And that part where he

denounces the king. Wow!

Denounces the king?

Yes, a little idea I had Eric that
