Do you know she asks Robert

his advice about everything?

Even having her face lifted,

she asked his advice.

- It'll be my turn soon for that.

- (Laughs)

Well, now you know who to ask.

Me.

Oh, but I like your face.

Your shadows.

Marvelous.

We should have brought our embroidery.

I hope he doesn't lose,

or I'll get the blame.

He's a bad loser.

He's a miser, too.

Do you know that he didn't even buy me

my wedding ring? He borrowed his sister's.

We got the weirdest wedding presents.

Do you know what one of them was?

A collapsible leather wastepaper basket.

Yucky green leather.

Er... did you get nice wedding presents?

- I eloped.

- Oh, good for you.

Where is he?

He's in the country.

Any children?

Yes. Two boys.

Oh, how charming.

GLADYS:

Oh, there you are, my darlings!

How nice to see you're getting along.

Yes, isn't it?

GLADYS:

You know, this room...

has always had a special quality for me.

It's a man's room,

something they don't build into houses

anymore.

Yes, thank God.

What did you say?

Oh, I was just telling her about myself.

You know, she told me

she's prone to weeping

if anything nice happens to her.

Yuck, yuck!

(Knocks)

Stella?

- Are you all right?

- Yes.

Open the door, then.

What's upset you?

Nothing. Really.

If I call, will you have dinner with me?

ZEE:
Robert!

We're all going dancing!

I'm not going dancing, I'm going home.

Oh, no!

- Me want my Bobby in my arms...

- I'll call you tomorrow.

Robert!

- Oh!

- All right, I'm coming!

(Sings drunkenly)? Bobby, Bobby, Bobby...

Dov, dov, dov?

Bugger.

- (Squeals)

- You can cut the little girl crap

because you're not persuading me

to do anything!

You're not persuading me to do anything!

We are not going dancing...

- Thank you, sir.

- Thank you.

It's getting late.

You see that?

That is the first time in years that I've

worn a watch. That's what you've done to me.

You've made me count the minutes.

I've waited all day to see you.

What do you want to eat?

I feel I ought to warn you - I'm expensive.

I only eat the choicest things,

apart from cabbage.

Oh, really? Zee likes that, too,

late at night.

I knew we had something in common.

Is there anything else?

I don't know that yet, do I?

People never want to admit they were in love

once it's over.

How they sat on a bench and waited.

Or danced all night.

Or went for a walk in the frost.

Blew on someone's fingers.

Everyone has two types,

and one is true and one is false.

How can you tell?

You can tell...

by the skin...

...and by the touch.

And by the eyes -

the windows of the soul.

(Laughs)

Come on. Let's go.

- Hello, Robert.

- Hello.

(Car horn)

A hummingbird.
