Table 12.

- Professor Armstrong.

- Excuse me.

I hope you're

looking forward to our lunch.

This hotel has an excellent smorgasbord.

You know, Miss Sherman,

I've often wondered why

one of the leading hotels in

Denmark should be called

the 'Hotel of England' in the French language.

I suppose it's the ideal title

for international...

Oh, by the way, Professor,

I promised to take Miss Sherman

to lunch at Tivoli.

- You don't mind, do you?

- Oh, but I do mind.

You're robbing me

of the company of a beautiful girl.

Oh, well, go ahead. Enjoy yourself.

Oh, just a moment, love.

I want to leave this book with the concierge.

Be right back.

Thank you very much.

Well, Michael,

will you tell me before we eat or after?

Uh, aren't you gonna try your martini?

What are you so upset about?

And what were those tickets you picked up?

Well?

Well,

I... have to go to Stockholm.

Oh?

And I have to go this afternoon.

But, I mean, the congress -

what about tonight,

you're giving your speech?

Well, this is more important.

I'm going to speak to

the Swedish defense department.

The Swedish defense department?

Hengstrom and I were talking on the boat

about what I was doing with Gamma Five,

and he knew the project was cancelled.

And he began to do some sniffing around,

seemed to think the Swedish government

might be willing to back the project, so...

You're American. How can you work

for a foreign government?

I can get clearance.

Why didn't you tell me you talked

to Hengstrom on the boat?

Well, I was going to -

You must've known about this for a long time.

Is that why you didn't want me

to come on this trip?

I did want you -

I thought we had an agreement.

To hell with the agreement.

You did everything you could

to stop me from coming.

The thing with Hengstrom just -

You never intended to give

a speech tonight, did you?

To hell with the speech!

Let somebody else give it.

Alright, what would you like me to do?

Cover the congress for me.

Take notes.

I'll be back in time for the wedding.

- In two months?

- Yeah.

- Or three?

- Yeah.

Oh, Michael, you certainly know

how to make a girl feel wanted.

Darling, I don't know what's got into you,

ever since the missile project was cancelled -

Yes, it was cancelled.

Now that was very important.

But I'm important to you.

Why can't I come to Stockholm?

Sarah, we'd never see each other.

You know, conferences, meetings?

But aren't I any use to you anymore?

- Well, if I wasn't gonna be so busy -

- But you're always busy.

Have I ever minded that?

Didn't you even stop to think I might enjoy it?

Oh, look, Michael, we could get an apartment.

I mean, I could look after you, shop, cook.
