things completely openly...

...at school.

Someone would misunderstand.

I tried that today.

It didn't really work out.

What was it you wanted to get, sir?

Nothing. I was on my way

to the dean's office.

You mean you walked all the way

down here just to talk to me?

- Why not?

- Well...

I think you deserve

something for that, sir.

Here sir, take your pick.

- It's on me.

- Thank you.

I thought you'd probably pick blue.

- Why blue?

- Isn't blue supposed to be spiritual?

What makes you think I'm spiritual?

And you? Red?

- What is red stand for?

- A lot of things.

Rage, lust.

No kidding?

Well sir, I...

I guess I see you around.

Hello?

What are you up to, kiddo?

Just trying to finish up a book.

How's your day going?

Fine.

I was just leaving school and wanted to

know if you needed anything for tonight.

Thanks, you're sweet.

But I think I'm all set.

Be a darling and...

...pick up gin for me, Tangueray.

I love the color of the bottle.

You love what's in it.

What time do you want me?

Perfect. I'll see you then.

I'll see you then.

Bye, Geo.

Bye, kiddo.

Beautiful.

- Yes, Mr. Potter?

- Are you going somewhere, sir?

That is usually why people

get into their cars.

No, I mean are you going on

vacation or something?

- What?

- I saw you cleaning out your office.

What exactly is it that you want, Kenny?

I was just hoping that perhaps we could get

together for a drink or something sometime.

Why is that?

I don't know, sir.

Because I think you might like it.

And...

...because you seem as though

you could use a friend.

- Oh really?

- Yes, sir. You do.

They may be right.

It will have to be another time.

I'm late.

But thank you for the invitation.

And thank you for the talk earlier.

And stay away from the mescaline.

Hello, Mr. Falconer.

- Hello. How are you today?

- I'm fine, sir.

- Do you need to get into your box?

- Yes, I do.

Follow me.

Here you are, sir.

If you could please sign here...

- Thank you.

- Thank you.

So explain your friend Charlotte to me.

What would you like to know?

I don't know.

You seem very intimate I guess.

Like you were once

together or something.

- You haven't slept with her, have you?

- Yes.

And?

A few times when we were young.

I wouldn't say that it

meant nothing to me...

...but it certainly meant

a great deal more to Charley.

It was a long time ago in London.

I love Charley.

- And We were very close friends

but that's all. - Well, I'm confused.

If you sleep with women

then why are you with me?

Because I fall in love with men.

Because I fell in love with you.

Anyway, doesn't everyone sleep with

women when they're young?

- I haven't.

- You're joking.
