ABOUT THOSE MORBID DISCUSSIONS.

WE WOULD HAVE TO GE SOMEONE FOR HIM, THOUGH.

WHAT ABOUT MOIRA ?

WHY NOT ?

IF SHE'S SOBER THIS WEEKEND.

JULIAN SAID:

SHE'D GIVEN IT UP.

NO, DARLING, YOU DIDN'T LISTEN.

JULIAN SAID SHE'D GIVEN UP

GIN... FOR BRANDY.

SHE SAYS SHE CAN DRINK

MORE BRANDY.

MOIRA'S NOT A BAD NOTION,

IN POINT OF FACT.

SHE'D KEEP HIM OCCUPIED,

AT LEAST.

BUT SHE'D HAVE TO STOP OVER,

AND WE CAN'T JUST PUT HIM

ON A COT.

PUT MOIRA ON A CO ON THE VERANDA.

SHE CLAIMS SHE'S NOT SLEP IN HER OWN BED THE LAS THREE MONTHS ANYWAY.

THAT'S NOT ENTIRELY FAIR.

IT'S ALL ON THE SURFACE.

I'LL RING HER UP TONIGH AND GIVE HER THE DRILL.

I WONDER WHAT HE'S LIKE

WHEN HE GETS A SKINFUL ?

PETER--

WHAT ?

YOU DO UNDERSTAND HOW I FEEL

ABOUT PEOPLE TALKING ?

SURE.

AND YOU DO LOVE ME ?

OF COURSE I DO.

THEN WHY DON'T YOU

EVER SAY SO ?

[ Man ]

GIVE HER WHAT FOR, MATE.

[ Horn Blowing ]

YOU'RE LOOKING FOR ME.

AM I ?

MM-HMM.

I'M MOIRA DAVIDSON.

M-O-I-R-A.

IT WAS A VERY FASHIONABLE NAME

IN BAD NOVELS WHEN MY MOTHER

WAS YOUNG AND IMPRESSIONABLE.

I'M A THROWBACK.

[ Laughs ]

WHERE'S HOLMES ?

OH, HE'S DECKING

THE HALLS WITH HOLLY.

HE SENT ME:

FOR BETTER OR WORSE.

BETTER, I'D SAY.

I'M YOUR DATE

OR WHATEVER YOU CALL IT.

HOW'D YOU RECOGNIZE ME ?

[ Laughs ]

I LOVE AMERICANS.

THEY'RE SO NAIVE.

THIS WAY, COMMANDER.

A NEW MODEL.

ONLY ONE HORSEPOWER,

BUT SHE DOES A GOOD

EIGHT MILES AN HOUR

ON THE FLAT.

QUITE A BUGGY.

OVER 70 YEARS OLD.

DAD SAID SHE WAS MADE

IN AMERICA.

I WOULDN'T BE SURPRISED.

GIVE ME YOUR TOOTHBRUSH.

TAKE AMELIA'S HEAD WHILE I SEE

IF WE CAN GET US OUT OF HERE.

SHE'S STILL A WEE BI STICKY IN REVERSE.

ALL RIGHT, BOY.

HERE WE GO.

IS THERE A PLACE

WE MIGHT STOP WHERE I COULD

GET A LITTLE BREAKFAST ?

WHAT ?

"A LITTLE BREAKFAST."

DO YOU MEAN:

THAT IN ADDITION

TO EVERYTHING ELSE,

I HAVE TO WATCH YOU

EAT BACON AND EGGS

AND ALL THAT MUCK ?

I WAS ON A PARTY LAST NIGHT,

AND I GOT UP AT 8:00

IN THE MORNING TO MEET YOU.

I, UH--

OH, NEVER MIND.

HOP IN.

BUT YOU HAVE TO BUY ME

A COUPLE DRINKS:

TO GET ME STARTED.

[ Laughing ]

OH, INCIDENTALLY,

THEY DIDN'T TELL ME

WHAT TO CALL YOU.

WHAT'S THE PROTOCOL ?

MY NAME IS TOWERS,

DWIGHT LIONEL TOWERS.

REALLY ?

REALLY.

HANG ON,

DWIGHT LIONEL.

[ Cracking Whip ]

???? [ Piano ]

???? [ Continues ]

[ Towers ]

AS A MATTER OF FACT, WE'VE ONLY

BEEN IN PORT FOR THREE DAYS.

IT'S CALLED THESAWFISH.

MY SECOND HUSBAND

WAS AN AMERICAN.

WE TRAVELED:

ALL OVER THE WORLD,

AND EVERYWHERE WE WEN HE WOULD SAY TO PEOPLE,

"I AM AN AMERICAN.

I AM AN AMERICAN."

THEY FINALLY SHOT HIM IN ONE

OF THOSE EASTERN COUNTRIES.

OH.

WELL, I'M SORRY.
