Pretty damn good. You should put them

on the walls.

No. Jeffrey hates them.

They're not very accomplished.

Well you could have fooled me.

I don't know what I like,

but I know what art is.

- Is the bedroom behind here?

- Yes.

I was thinking.

You could build a door right here

so you keep an eye on him.

- That's always important with a child.

- That would be great.

I've got some pictures here of

a little girl's room I did.

Let's see. That's a gat I did.

Here's Buffoni's. Whatever that is.

Here's this little girl's room.

- Here's the wallpaper that goes.

- I love the moons and stars.

- Yeah, that's great, ain't it?

- I love them!

- What do you think?

- Nice. You got a painter's eye.

- I like that. Let's do that.

- Let me get some measurements.

- Are you married, Lucky?

- 24 years to the same gal.

Used to be an actress in California.

Phyllis Hart.

She's on the tube every now and then,

in some old movie.

- Any children?

- No.

- Can I ask why not?

- It just didn't work out.

Phyl's a hell of a gal just for

putting up with me.

I can't imagine you'd be difficult

to live with.

I never got past having fund and

not feeling crappy about what I did.

That's all right, though.

She lets me do it, no questions asked.

She sounds like a very

secure woman.

I envy that.

Yeah.

Cassie...

Cassie?

Cass... Cass...

Cassie?

Cassie it's me!

Cassie! Cassie!

Cassie... Cassie... Cassie...

Cassie! Cassie!

Baby I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry, baby.

Oh, my Cass.

I'm so sorry.

Be coming around at 9 in the morning

if that's okay.

- I might make some noise.

- I'll look forward to it.

- "See you later."

- "Yes."

See you!

I'll look forward to it.

"See you later."

- Busy?

- Just doing my nails.

Ornay sure plays cut-throat.

Glad we're on the same side.

- Watch it with that.

- Cut-throat.

- That's not funny.

- Excuse me, Mr. Byron.

Mr. Ornay's executive assistant

just called.

You look extremely nice again today,

Helene.

- Thank you, sir.

- Ditto, Helene.

You should come in here more often.

Mr. Ornay would like to re-schedule

your meeting to this weekend...

...at Chateau Lenore.

Rent me a car, and book everything,

me plus one.

Yes, sir.

Ever wonder about women being like

fine wine?

Sort of like kissing your aunt.

Kissing, Donald?

What are you doing?

Impossibilities, Donald.

I'm excited about the impossibilities

of things.

- Hey, Lucky.

- Hey, Judy.

- Would you get me a beer?

- Coming right up.

Hi, babe.

We can't escape the game.

I won't even glace at it if you're

going to say something.

No, go ahead. It's nice to see

them whack the little ball.

Better than whacking

the little woman.

Maybe you better go a little easy
