Yes. Yes, I am.

Well, isn't that something?

He did Frank Rhodes' bridge.

Oh, Mrs. Trullinger, your husband's

the finest dentist in all of Portland.

- Thank you very much.

- Really?

And I think he did a plate

for Uncle Grover.

Oh, we won't wait for Harry and Martha.

I could eat a horse.

All right, let's go in.

What a shame Paul

couldn't come tonight.

- An emergency?

- Yes...

Not Uncle Grover's plate, I hope.

- No. Uncle Grover's plate's like new.

- Oh, well...

Did free love start

in Greenwich Village?

Very good wine, Carl.

- More, Jack?

- No, no. No, thank you.

It's just delicious, really.

Don't you think so, Mrs. Trullinger?

Yes, it's just delicious.

Thank you, Louise.

- Dupont, I think.

- Dupont.

It is Dupont, isn't it, Harry?

Mother doesn't want you to get Jack

started on the subject of marriage.

You got any children, Mrs. Trullinger?

Not yet, Mr. Reed.

- Call me Jack.

- I've been married 14 years now.

Don't get me in any arguments

about free love.

It's getting cold outside.

I'll just call you Louise.

George Waldorf.

That's it! George Waldorf!

Used to sell spool thread.

- What about George Waldorf?

- Well, he died.

I couldn't think of letting

you walk unescorted, Louise.

Tell me something.

Does Dr. Trullinger mind your

spending so much time at your studio?

People have to give each other

a little freedom.

Freedom, Mrs. Trullinger?

I'd like to know

what your idea of freedom is.

Having your own studio? Walk...

I'd like to see you

with your pants off, Mr. Reed.

Marching and shuffling along

I didn't realize the time.

So, if you like, there's some

very nice damson preserves.

And you can make toast out of that,

if you want.

So, bye.

Where you going?

Where you going?

If you're catching the 2:45, I mean,

you don't really have that much time.

- I'm sure you're gonna want to pack...

- Louise, it's 8:45, only.

It's 8:
45.

Listen, I realize

that you're very busy in New York,

but I'd be grateful

if you could take the time

to write a few words to me

about my work.

Oh, yes. Oh, yes.

If you'll just send my portfolio back.

You can mail it to this address...

Louise, wait a minute. What are you

just walking out like that for?

Will you come upstairs, please,

and just talk to me for a minute?

Thank you.

- Listen...

- What is it?

Why don't you come?

- What?

- Come to New York.

You wanna write?

Come where the writers are.

If you wanna have freedom you gotta go

where the freedom is, don't you?

You're gonna go to waste in Portland.

Come to New York.

- You ought to be in New York.

- Thank you very much.

I'll remember that.

- What?

- I'll remember your advice.
