I guess you and Sam

want to be together.

So I have to move out, right?

Sam's keeping his place for a while.

I know you spent a lot on furniture.

Yeah, your timing is really great!

- You promised this wouldn't happen.

- Nothing's happened, come on.

I'll talk to Sam.

Maybe we'll move

if we find some place like this.

We'll figure something out. Okay?

- They're nervous.

- Salesmen have to be sold.

Let's set up a demo.

Something different, maybe at night.

- Open bar, open minds. "F9".

- I'll set it up.

I'll call you tonight

after I check on some things.

"8796, Knox". What's Knox?

Graham Knox.

That was just for last night.

- I admit, I'm very impressed.

- Well, start spreading the word.

I can see I'm not going to be able

to afford you any more.

Great. Press "enter". That's it.

Are you thirsty?

I'll be right back.

You'd know more about that than me.

Allie, do you want a sip?

I guess I'll turn in.

Goodnight, Allie. Goodnight, Sam.

- They're ready.

- Just a minute.

- They'll get cold.

- All right.

No, Rawson is a Norse name.

It's a thoroughly uninteresting

conversation.

Are we going?

- Scrambled or fried?

- This is fine.

Sweetheart,

this isn't all that urgent.

This apartment thing

can wait till I get back.

Why don't we get away together?

A drive?

Buddy, come here.

- Three's a crowd.

- It's all right, Hedy, he's fine.

- Poor guy's all confused.

- We'll take a day off...

No, I'm fine.

I just didn't get a very good sleep.

Nightmares.

You've got a good day for it

if it doesn't get too hot.

- You don't need to do that.

- I don't mind.

It's clean

when you can't tell I'm here.

If the eggs were okay,

maybe you'd trust me with dinner.

- Do you know when you'll be back?

- We'll be out celebrating tonight.

Really? That's great. Good luck.

Goodbye.

Buddy, come here.

Come here, sweetie.

I know.

Buddy, come!

Fine.

This is half the size

for twice the price.

- It's easier this way.

- It's a long way from The Victoria.

- Do you think we can smoke her out?

- I couldn't, I'm her only friend.

God, what happened?

Hedy!

- He's dead. Buddy's dead!

- What?

You left the window open.

How could you do that?

I thought we could leave it open.

You fixed it.

- I thought I did.

- It's me.

I interrupted you

when I called you in for breakfast.

- Thanks, that pill helped.

- Are you still leaving tomorrow?

Well, she wants me to.

If I'd just let you finish your work

this morning...

If she blames anybody,

she blames me.

Hi, Mitch.

What?

No, I'm just running a little late.

I didn't forget.

Just hold them till five, okay?

You were terrific...

but you know that, don't you?

And I thought

all the guys would resist you.
