and I came upstairs to sweep it,

you were just sitting on the edge of

the bathtub, looking off into the distance.

I was exhausted.

Do you know Ariel Weymouth?

How is it possible for me... Of course not.

Don't be silly, Adrian.

She's very freethinking

and forward, isn't she?

- Who, Ariel Weymouth?

- No, Dulcy.

She seems to give off animal vibrations.

Yeah, well, she's a nurse.

Well, not every nurse is sexy.

But they're very knowledgeable

about the body.

They know exactly how all the organs

function, so they're wonderful.

Maybe I should ask for lessons.

I bet she'd be willing to answer

any questions that you might have.

Oh...

I was just joking.

You think I need lessons?

Do you like it?

No, not a bit. My blood pressure

is always 90 over 680.

It drives them wild at Coney Island.

But if we're gonna be in a country stream,

why do I have to wear anything at all?

Well, it might shock Andrew. He's elderly.

Oh.

I brought some contraceptives

with me in case you forgot.

Oh, good. Cos I only brought 300.

(car horn)

(Maxwell sighs)

(car horn)

Leopold, hello.

It's wonderful to see you again.

- Hi, there.

- You must be Ariel.

I'm Adrian. This is my husband Andrew.

- Yes, we've met before.

- Ariel told me about it.

It was such a coincidence when Leopold

said you were his cousin's husband.

I told him we were old friends.

Acquaintances. We're...

I didn't know it was the same... I couldn't

imagine it was the same Ariel Weymouth.

I'll get the luggage, right?

(Leopold) Like each snowflake,

there is only one Ariel Weymouth.

Ha ha!

(stutters breathlessly)

"Only one Ariel..." Did you hear?

Every snowflake...

It's been a long time, Cousin Adrian.

- Hello.

- Hello.

(Adrian) Professor Leopold Sturgis,

Dr Maxwell Jordan.

- Charmed.

- (Adrian) Dulcy Ford, Ariel Weymouth.

Blue Moon Glow.

That's exactly right. I'm amazed.

I didn't think they sold it in this country.

Well, an old love of mine wore it.

A ballerina from Spain.

And the scent you're wearing,

is that Bay Rum?

Yes, exactly right.

Straight from the corner drugstore.

We recognise each other's smells.

In the animal kingdom, we'd be married.

Are you the Dr Jordan who

wrote the book on natural science?

- Yes, it's my hobby.

- I must be honest. I thought it was poor.

It wasn't great. I'm just

an amateur speculator on science.

I liked your book, Professor.

Both of 'em. I liked both of 'em.

The first one was chosen as the best

philosophical treatise of the year.

- Which one?

- Conceptual Pragmatism.

I haven't gotten to that yet.

Exactly what is it?

- The house is exactly as I remember it.

- You've been here before?
