- Don't worry, Martin.

Why don't you get some sleep?

Is there anything you need?

No. I just wanted to make sure

you got those new arrangements.

I got them right here.

By the way, I ordered that '84 Ripple Blanc

for you that they recommended.

- It's very good.

- Thanks.

Who do you favour

in the Virginia Slims Tournament?

In women's tennis,

I always root against the heterosexual.

Have you heard from Cedric?

He was just here. Wait in your hotel

room. He will meet you there.

This letter has to be in New York

by T uesday.

Now, go! Quickly!

I'm sorry, madam, but this evening

is only for guests of the cultural festival.

Your Ripple Blanc, sir.

Jurgen, escort this lady out.

Excuse me, this lady is with me.

Mr Rivers,

a thousand pardons, madam.

After you, my dear.

You're just in time.

I don't think I've ever seen you

looking so lovely.

- That was very kind of you.

- My pleasure.

I was looking for someone to dance with.

- You're an American.

- That's right.

- My uncle was born in America.

- Really?

But he was one of the lucky ones.

He managed to escape in a balloon

during the Jimmy Carter presidency.

- I bet he's got a lot of great stories.

- Yes!

He would tell me about

the large houses and expensive cars.

How young people waste time watching

television and listening to rock and roll.

- What's wrong with television?

- Not all television.

"MASH" was OK

and the "Mary Tyler Moore Show".

It just seems like young people

of America take freedom for granted.

Wait. I don't think you're being fair.

My history class once spent

an entire week in Philadelphia.

Maybe so. You can talk

about freedom all you want,

but still don't know

what it's like to have to fight for it.

Perhaps my lecture was unwarranted.

I am grateful for what you did back there.

You'd really like America.

We've got the Liberty Bell,

Disneyland on both coasts.

It's happening.

I'm sorry. I really don't know any German.

That's all right. I know a little German.

He's sitting over there.

What do you recommend?

I recommend the pork bellies

marinated in diced pig entrails

or the roast swine knuckles

poached with flaming hog balls.

Anything's fine.

- Thank you...

- Hillary.

That's an unusual name.

It's German. It means,

she whose bosoms defy gravity.

Pleased to meet you.

My name's Nick.

Nick, what does that mean?

Nothing. My dad thought of it

while he was shaving.

Are you in some kind of trouble

with the police?

Some things are better left unsaid.

Like what?

Sometimes when you blow your nose

into a tissue and put it in your purse.

Then you reach for your lipstick, your hand

gushes into it, and it goes all over...
