Yeah, I don't have to wake him up now.

Yes.
Miss... hi.
I'm Richard the foreman.
I just wanted to get you these.
I'm sorry.
- Hi.
- Hello.
- Tom, Henry, this is miss rivers.
- How you doing?
Pleased to meet you.
Your uncle Fletcher,
well, he left us in a bit of a...
Good night, I guess.
We weren't sure who'd inherit the place.
We surely weren't expecting no pretty lady.
Why?
So, a lawyer told us you plan
to continue the renovation.
That's right.
Good! Good.
Well, I'll tell you what,
you just settle in upstairs
and we'll have this place
swinging again in no time.
- Right?
- That's right.
Yeah yeah, right.
Well, I would like to go over
the plans with you.
You know, if that's okay?
Well, we got a hell of a day today.
But look, we'll find time tomorrow.
I'm sure we will.
Okay?
Okay, fine. Tomorrow.
Good. What happened to your leg?
An elephant trod on it.
Very funny.
Tom, help the lady upstairs with her bag.
No, no, no. I can manage.
- Tom!
- No!
It's one small bag.
- L'm sure I can manage.
- All right.
Thank you.
No.
Hawaii?
Should be champagne, fletch,
but I'm on the wagon.
I'll give you my love
I'm sure that love
will see us through

- Can I do?
If you want the moon
I'll bring the moon
right down to you

what else can I do?
One day, we'll live in a mansion
out where the pastures are green
but even in a small room
just a little hall room
you'll be the king
I'll be the queen
my heart just for a start
till dreams come true, baby

Oh, boy.
Now let's see.
Well, there you are.
Yeah, it just...
It seems to me...
I mean, well...
Wouldn't it be more logical...
I said, wouldn't it be more logical...
There is no logic to this place.
It's been so many things.
It doesn't know what it is anymore.
A warehouse, speakeasy,
gambling joint, restaurant...
Psychedelic club, a disco.
Funny old world, isn't it?
Yes, it is.
But I still think...
I still think I would rather put...
Put the...
Put the booth over there
and the bar over there.
Now look, I know it's not in the plans, but...
Sorry?
I said that I know...
What?
I can't hear myself think.
Okay. Okay.
Okay. Hey, guys! Guys!
Everybody, stop work!
Stop!
How long you think we need, Carol?
We don't get

we sure enough gonna
be behind tomorrow.
Okay, look.
I'm sorry, guys. I didn't mean to interrupt.
I just... forget it.
How long will this take? As long as I need.
You're the boss. You're the boss.
What a joke that is.
What? Oh, yes.
They have asked me
to open another club in New York.
But you know,
I'm having such a good time here,
I would hate to do that.
Also, I...
They really need me to run it, you know?
You like the singer? Well, thank you.
Yes, well, I did.
I had a very difficult time finding her.
But now that I've got her,
she's gold, believe me.
So...
Will you be having wine tonight?
Me? No no no, I don't drink.
I haven't had a drink
in about a year and a half.
Hello?
Hello?
Richard must have dropped these off.
Just didn't want to bother me.
Slave

Carol, I called your psychiatrist.
That's right, I talked to her. I had to.
Do you know what she said to me?
She said you're
taking a terrible risk going off like this.
- She said you're never gonna...
- Mama...
I know what she said.
And she's right.
If I go down there
and I can't make this work,
if I have another breakdown
and I'm forced to come back here,
then I'll probably never recover.
Yes, it's a terrible risk.
And I'm taking it.
Bye, mama.
Darlin'

hate to see you go

hey, man, let me have that bottle.
I don't know

This is my last day.
Hey, look at his tattoo, man.
When did you get that?
When I got it.
Why'd you want to get a tattoo for?
I could give you one, but it hurts.
I don't think I can see.
How do you think I'd look with a tattoo?
Son of a b*tch, man!
You can't get me a job here?
Holy cow!
I know you hear me when I cry

Hey, did she wave?
Or did she like, beckon?
Well, I don't know.
She's old Fletcher's niece.
Come on, man. She just waved.
- That's Fletcher's niece?
- What do you think about that, Henry?
- She's just waving, man.
- That's Fletcher's niece. She didn't wave.
Yeah, she's just up there saying hi,

If that ain't an invite, I don't know what is.
