Selling his soul for 7 wishes, Stanley tries to make Margaret his own first as an intellectual, then as a rock star, then as a wealthy industrialist.

- Yes.

We met Randolph, actually,

when we were in the Bahamas...

forming Margaret's mother

into a limited company.

Very shrewd move.

You ever thought of making Margaret

into a charitable institution?

What a cracking wheeze!

Yes, and then I could get a

depreciation allowance on her.

Exactly. I think the revenue

boys would buy that one.

Yes.

You could probably get her

clothes taken off as well.

Yes, I'm sure they'd be deductible.

Properly handled, I think she could

be a wonderful little asset.

Yes.

I was shopping around for a

wife, actually, the other day.

Mmm. Daphne?

Or something along similar lines.

But my accountant said that in

my bracket it really wasn't on.

Oh, yes... Oh, yes... Come on!

Yes. Excuse me.

I forgot to give you

this, my precious!

Oh, you doll!

There we are. Do you like it?

Oh!

Well!

Feel the fur, Randolph.

Mmm. Beautiful.

How is the old harp...

harp coming along?

Oh, splendidly.

Your wife has extraordinary

sensitivity.

She has, she has. Extraordinary.

Oh, I'm so hot and sticky and...

Randy, we must have a dip!

Your wife has a very beautiful body.

It is nice, isn't it?

You must be a very happy man.

Yes.

Yes, I must be.

I find her...

fantastically attractive.

Hmm.

Thank you.

You don't mind my saying that.

My dear chap. Good Lord.

Not at all. Not at all.

I imagine everybody does.

I imagine they do. Yes.

Sex is a terribly thorny

subject, isn't it?

Mmm. Tsk-tsk-tsk.

Terribly thorny.

Very thorny subject.

I don't really need it.

Yes, please.

I always think it very ironical...

that the male of the species reaches

his sexual peak at the age of 14.

Mmm.

Whereas the appetite

of the female...

continues to increase

with the passing years.

Yes.

Hmm.

It is ironic, isn't it?

Bloody ironic.

Ah.

Of course, monogamy isn't a

natural state for any animal.

Good Lord, no.

Goodness gracious, no. No.

When I say "animal," I mean man.

Yes.

- And when I say "man," I mean woman, of course.

- Of course.

You see, he... or,

for that matter, she...

is, um...

fundamentally promiscuous.

Now.

Yes.

Yes, she probably is.

How does that feel?

Excuse me.

Darling! Darling!

Mmm?

I forgot to give you

this, dear heart.

How exciting. What is it?

Boo-boo-boo-boo!

You shouldn't have.

Is it the original?

Yes. I thought it might appeal.

Thank you, dear. You are sweet.

Oh, good!

And now we must go and get

out of our wet things.

Come along, Randy.

Beautiful collection of books

you've got here, Stanley.

Must be worth a packet.

Yes, I caught a rather nasty

cold in blue chips last week...

and my broker's advised me

to switch to first editions.

They're going up all the time.
