That's it?

# I can feel my heart #

- Oh, Jesus, I'm sorry about that.|- # And it's about to burst #

# I try to clean it up #

# But I just get worse #

# Wish I could fall #

# On a night like this #

- # Into your loving arms #|- I think I left a scarf.

No. Nothing down here.|Why don't you go upstairs?

- Maybe it's still there.|- Thank you.

# I thought I saw your face #

# In the evening sky #

# On a lonesome cloud #

# That was drifting by #

# I wish I could fall #

# On a night like this #

# Into your loving arms ##

Hey.

Hey.

Let's go do something.

All right.|What you wanna do?

I don't care.

All right. Come on.

Now, promise me you're not|just visiting here for a week...

or marrying somebody|to get a green card or on parole.

None of the above. You?

No, no, no. Proud U.S. citizen.|No criminal record.

So you won't tell me|your name.

Well, tell me, uh, what do you|miss most about Mother England?

I miss my mom terribly.

If I were her,|I'd miss you too.

Okay. Favorite movie.

- The correct answer|is Cool Hand Luke.|- I've never seen it.

Oh, come on. You've never seen|Cool Hand Luke?

Paul Newman?|Oh, my God. Come on!

"Failure to communicate."|Sadistic cop in sunglasses|with no name.

Reminds me of you|in that way.

Um, favorite|New York moment.

This one's|climbing the charts.

I'm flattered.

Is there anything else|you need to know about me?

Huh.

Favorite sexual position?

Oh!

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!|Yeah, yeah. That's my favorite too.

- You all right?|- Yeah.

- Did you hurt yourself?|- No. Yes.

- You did?|Let's take a look at that.|- Ouch.

- Oh, Jesus.|That's a deep, deep gash.|- Gaping.

What? We'll|fix that right up.

There you go.

What? Oh, you're|looking at my freckles.

It's the curse|of the English, I'm afraid.|Fair skin and bad teeth.

No, you have great teeth.

Those aren't just freckles.

If you look closely,|you can see Cassiopeia.

- What?|- Right there.

Hold on a minute.

Okay. All right,|here's the story.

A long time ago in Ethiopia,

there was this queen|named Cassiopeia...

who thought she was the most|beautiful woman in the entire world,

and there wasn't anybody in|the kingdom who wasn't offended...

by this woman's|relentless vanity.

And then one day, she really|screwed up and offended the gods.

I don't remember what she did and|I don't remember who she offended.

But it was bad.|She crossed the line.

But anyway, Poseidon, the sea god,|punished Cassiopeia...

by placing her in the heavens|upside down on her throne,

stuck for eternity with her skirt|around her shoulders...

and all the blood|rushing to her head.

And now she's just|a constellation in the sky,

a bunch of English freckles|in the shape of a throne.
