Manhattan Murder Mystery

You promise to watch the game

and not be bored...

...and I'll go to the opera next week.

I already bought earplugs.

With your eyesight

I'm surprised you can see the puck.

Yay. All right!

I can't wait to get into bed.

- There's a Bob Hope movie on television.

- I know.

Do you believe this guy? Killed 12

victims. Dismembered and ate them.

- Really? It's an alternative lifestyle.

- Yeah. I'll say.

- Hold the elevator!

- We're coming.

- Hold the elevator.

- That's all right.

- I see you at the gym sometimes.

- You do?

- We live down the hall.

- I go whenever I have the discipline.

- It's important to put that time in.

- I agree.

Exercising changed my life. Just...

I prefer to atrophy.

I don't like exercise.

- We bought a treadmill last week.

- We had one.

We got rid of it because

it was taking up space.

You have to get on it once in a while.

It's confusing with all those

computerized programs.

- I'm just never going to get that.

- I know.

- Wonderful meeting...

- Well, yeah.

- You never meet your neighbours.

- Isn't it funny?

- Good night.

- Good night.

Such a lovely couple.

- Oh, say... Hello?

- Yeah?

Why don't you come in and have

a drink? We'd love that.

- That'd be fine.

- She makes great Irish coffee.

- Please.

- There's a movie I want to watch.

- Give me a treadmill lesson.

- About the tread...

Listen, if I can figure it out,

then believe me, anybody can.

- I don't know what I'm doing.

- It's easy.

- Let's look. I'm at level five.

- You're that advanced?

I work out a lot.

Look at these diagrams.

That's amazing.

- I can't understand this.

- Let me see.

Yeah, well. See this?

Now, let me show you

a mint 1933 airmail.

Very rare and very beautiful.

Look at that.

This is unique because

it has a flaw in the engraving.

- See if you can see it.

- It's hard for me.

- I'll give you a hint. In the corner.

- That tiny thing?

Yeah. That makes it quite valuable.

I got a commemorative set of issues

that are valuable. Look at the colour.

- These are gonna become...

- We're keeping you up.

- No, this is wonderful.

- I should go.

- What do you do?

- Book publishing. I work at Harper's.

- Really?

- Yeah.

I own an old cinema. Having it redone.

Used to have three.

Business is not what it used to be.

Look at these presidentials.

Even the perforations are intact.

- Where's Carol? I should be going.

- Really?

- Yeah. I mean...

- Coffee's ready.

- I forgot coffee.

- We can get back to this later. Come on.

We never had any children

but it's easy to empathize.

- What college does your son attend?

- Brown.

Nice colour.

Paul never attended college.

He's self-made.

Knowledge is the second most

important thing.

First is health. Then knowledge.

Then money.

- It's amazing how time...

- Do you work?

- Do I?

- Yes.

Well, actually I used to work at an ad

agency, but that was many years ago.

But I've been thinking

of starting a restaurant.

- Really?

- But Larry is trying to talk me out of it.

She's a great cook. Her fennel

omelette in hollandaise sauce...

...will make you snap

into a foetal position and lay in bed.

He loves to tease me.

Actually, he really loves exotic food.

My weakness is dessert.

Cream, butter, anything with fat.

I'll fix a dessert that'll make your eyes

roll. You'll have to exercise for a month.

We're going to Le Cirque

for our anniversary.

- 28 years in November.

- Really?

- What do I buy a woman with everything?

- We already have twin cemetery plots.

I always think a Bentley

is in good taste.

On our 20th, I got her
