How much money can you spend?

That ain't the point.

Let me tell you,

money can do anything.

I bet you never had

anything in your life

that somebody else

didn't wear first.

Here.

Get yourself something nice.

Come on, Arnold, we're

having a party. Where?

Where do you think?

Just don't break

anything this time.

Hello.

Mr. klein, how are you?

Lookin' good.

Mr. rosen, lookin' good.

- How are you?

- Very good.

Girls, girls, girls.

- Hey, Charlie.

- Hello, Billy.

- Hey, Mrs. Thomas.

- Hello, Billy.

Billy, don't you look swell.

Thank you. Hi, ma.

I got a job. Thing is...

It's in the country. Upstate.

It's just for the summer.

Ma?

This is for you.

Billy, look at you.

The richest man

on bathgate Avenue.

Let's go to work.

Irving.

Miss, this way.

What's the matter?

Come on.

Good evening, Bo.

Leave her out of this, Dutch.

This must be love.

What is your name, miss?

Lola. Her name is Lola.

That can't be.

I know all the

girls named Lola.

You must be Arthur.

Kid, go see what he's doin'.

He doesn't have no respect.

Go see if she's all right.

Do what I told you.

Go see if she's all right.

You know what I'm

talkin' about, don't you?

I mean, you don't care

about what's dead, do you?

'Cause I'm tellin'

you right now,

except for a few

details, he's dead.

Can you understand that?

You can forget about

the dead, can't you?

I think you've forgotten

already, haven't you?

Well?

I'm waiting.

It's either a "yes" or a "no."

I... I...

What?

I'm sorry, I can't hear you.

What?

Yes.

Oh, that's too bad.

That's too bad for Bo.

If I thought you loved him,

I might've changed my mind.

Okay, kid,

take the lady to her apartment.

Don't let her make

any phone calls.

Although, I don't

think she'll try.

She'll pack some things.

Stay with her until I come back.

Somebody will call you up on the

house phone to bring her down.

You got it?

Have you ever seen

such a terrible night?

Good evening, Mrs. Preston.

Drew?

I have to pee, Harvey.

I thought you were

out for the evening.

You all right? Drew.

Tell me what you've

gone and done.

You didn't ditch him?

I thought you were

so wild about him.

I don't want to talk about it.

It's all right with me.

I'll be going away for awhile.

You can't mean it, going away.

Where? For how long?

We're supposed to be going

to the willet's this weekend.

To say nothing of dinner

tomorrow evening with Dwight,

which was your

idea to begin with.

Darling, you'll just have

to make excuses for me.

There are certain proprieties

to be maintained.

You are my wife, after all.

Harvey, what's the point

of making a fuss?

There's a certain limit.

Scandal isn't the point.
