They've remodeled it completely.

Who owns it?

I heard it was some law firm downtown.

No. That's a false front.

I checked on that once.

I bet I could find out who owns it.

I know some people.

I could make a few calls

if you really want to know.

Pete, don't.

It could be the Mob.

We could be supporting crack dealers.

Then what are we gonna do? Move out?

There's an idea.

Thank you.

- It's a great party.

- Thank you.

Hey there. Can I get you something?

I'm fine, thanks.

- So, how do you like the new place?

- Oh, yeah.

Did you know Naomi Singer?

Not really. I saw her around a few times.

I wonder why she did it.

Yeah. I don't know, I think I read

something about boyfriend troubles.

Oh, they're doing it!

Oh, they are! I can't believe it!

Something exciting happening.

I don't believe it. They are!

Let me see. Let me see.

Oh, they sure are.

Would you look at her?

She's a voyeur. She can't get enough.

- I am not.

- Yes, you are.

That's why you have this telescope

out here.

- It's not even mine!

- You're a peeper! A peeper!

Somebody gave this to me.

- Right.

- Everybody has a telescope.

- I don't.

- I do.

- Thank you.

- I do, too.

I'm shocked. I'm truly shocked.

You people are shameless.

You're all shameless.

What is with you guys?

- Will you look at that?

- Come on, Alex.

- Hurry up, before they finish.

- Just a moment.

I wanna look, too.

Oh, my God!

It looks like they're being Rolfed.

- Bye. Bye.

- Bye.

- Goodnight. Thank you for coming.

- Thanks. Bye.

- Goodnight.

- Bye.

Goodnight. And thanks for the wine.

- Sorry about the California red.

- I like California red.

- Goodnight.

- Goodnight.

Listen, do you work out?

You mean,

like exercise bikes and stuff?

No, no. The real thing. Weights.

- You want to check it out?

- Oh. No, thank you.

You would have a great time.

What do you think?

Tomorrow morning, maybe?

You know, there are mirrors

all over those places.

There are no mirrors.

They're everywhere you look.

No mirrors. Promise.

What do you say? 10:00? I'll call you?

I'll call you. Bye.

That was a great party.

I thank you.

You're welcome.

Who knows, maybe next time

I'll even get an invitation, huh?

- Maybe.

- Oh, you got to be careful.

Maybe means "yes"

to an old ex-journalist like myself.

The operative word being "ex".

Yeah.

But us investigative reporters

never lose the instinct...

to jump in at the slightest opening.

That would explain you jumping out

at me in the park, then, I guess.

No.

That was a tactic I developed

in junior high school to get the babes.

It didn't work then, either.

You don't go out much, do you?

I thought...

maybe in lieu of the gym...
