Blue Jasmine Page #4

I mean, how often am I here?

No, no, I will definitely make some time.

GINGER:
Oh, good. Heh, heh.

Where are you staying?

Oh, well, we-- We thought about

asking if we could stay with you,

but we don't wanna impose,

so we got a room at the Marriott.

Oh, the Marriott's perfect.

Oh. Yeah.

I'll have my office contact them

and forward us the bill.

Oh, no.

No, no, no, it's not necessary.

Please, you're our guests.

I insist.

Oh, well, then we insist

on taking you two to dinner tonight.

What? Tonight?

GINGER:
Yeah.

We have dinner plans.

I don't think we can--

Something we can't get out of.

I'm sorry' GINGER: There'll be time.

We stashed the kids with Augie's

sister, we're here for a week.

It's gonna be great.

It is. Okay.

Well, we don't have

a lot of free time,

but we'll definitely take you

to Le Cirque, won't we?

I mean, or Daniel. I mean--

They'd get a kick out of that.

Yeah, absolutely.

I know your birthday is this week.

Let us at least take you out for that.

I love how you're doing your hair.

Oh, thanks. Heh, heh.

You'll have to take me shopping. You

always could pick clothes. Heh, heh.

(JASMINE & HAL CHUCKLE)

And Augie's got

some exciting business news

he wants to talk to Hal about.

Oh?

Don't worry, I don't need to

borrow money. We're flush.

Yeah,

What kind of work do you do, Augie?

Well, you know, I do, like,

repairs, furniture moving,

but I got plans to be

my own boss.

We'll talk about it over dinner.

They're going out.

Hey, could we have a tour?

Oh, yeah, of course. Why don't

you start in the kitchen?

Is there a little girls' room?

Just down the hall.

Wow.

Five days.

I'll have to invite them

to my birthday party now.

Where did she come up with him?

I always feel so guilty around Ginger.

We've got to make sure

we make their stay extra nice.

My God, five days.

()

Look.

It's so beautiful.

Oh.

Oh, but where would I wear

a Fendi bag?

Oh, go ahead. It's my treat.

No.

Yeah.

Really?

(GASPS)

Oh, my God. I love it. Look.

Look.

Take the other one off.

No, I like this.

(KING OLIVER'S "SPEAKEASY BLUES" PLAYING)

Boy, this is some place

you got here.

I mean, this is unreal.

GINGER:
It is.

Reminds me

of when I was a kid.

I used to be a lifeguard.

Start your own construction

company? Great idea.

We came into some money.

Tell him how, Augie.

What? We've been saving this story.

Well, the first 10-, 12,000,

I really worked for.

Put away a little each week.

GINGER:
But he's not

telling you the big news.

Why we're in New York.

You tell them.

Okay, I will.

We always play the lottery,

and we never even get two numbers.

Am I right?

AUGIE:
Uh-huh.
