not to drink on the job.

You sound like your brother.

- Who do you work for?

- You, I hope.

I'm flattered.

Have you had experience

in advertising?

Hire me and I'll get you

the Faxton account.

Get me the Faxton account

and you're hired.

Hire me, I won't tell you wife

about apartment "J" on West 57th Street.

My God.

What else did Steve tell you?

He told me you pay him 200 a year,

plus fringes. I'll take 250.

Why should I pay you more

than Steve's getting?

Steve didn't give you a hard-on.

Denise.

You knew Steve Brooks

pretty well, didn't ya?

- "Knew"?

- Well, know.

- Pretty well.

- So tell me.

What adjective would you say

best describes him?

A**hole.

That could also be a noun.

Major a**hole.

Sounds great.

When do you start?

Tomorrow morning.

What can I say?

- How about you show me the ropes?

- Sure.

Goddamn Italian shoes.

Yeah, well. It's gonna really be

great working with you. Steve and all.

- Why don't we have dinner tonight?

- Yeah.

How about a little sushi

at Aiko's.

- Okay.

- Great.

See you later, bud.

Well--

Let's see which one

of your guides...

is available

to give us some answers.

Jesus.

Greetings, sahib.

Multiple blessings

from the eternal spirit.

It's Pasha.

Pasha, is it appropriate

that we speak?

Exceedingly so, sahib.

The answer to your question is...

in order for Sahib Brooks

to be...

reincarnated, he must

first be dead.

He's dead.

He is?

Well, isn't he? I mean, you're

supposed to know about those things.

If, indeed, Sahib Brooks'...

immortal soul has left

the bondage of this earth...

it is reasonable to assume...

it has not yet arrived

at its predestined spiritual abode...

or of course I would know of it.

Okay. Let's say that he is dead...

and he has been reincarnated

as a woman.

- You see, the eternal soul--

- Let me finish!

Sorry, Pasha.

Could it still be the same man

in a different body?

Although the grand design

provides for...

almost any possibility...

I have never heard of such a case

as you speak of.

But I will investigate and report

to you the next time we communicate.

In the meantime,

peace be with you...

and Brahma, the supreme soul...

the essence of the universe...

guide and protect you.

That really takes it out of me.

Pasha wasn't much f***ing help.

Aside from the fact that this....

woman claims to be

the late Mr. Brooks...

is there any other reason why you might

think that he would be dead?

No, of course not!

What other reason could there be?

You've reached 555-6731.

Please leave a message

and I'll call you back.

Hello, Kurt,

you ps ychic, ps ycho fag.

Margo, get your ass to Bloomingdale's.

I'll meet you in an hour.

Blake Edwards

William Blake Crump (July 26, 1922 – December 15, 2010), better known by his stage name Blake Edwards, was an American filmmaker. Edwards began his career in the 1940s as an actor, but he soon began writing screenplays and radio scripts before turning to producing and directing in television and films. His best-known films include Breakfast at Tiffany's, Days of Wine and Roses, 10, Victor/Victoria, and the hugely successful Pink Panther film series with British actor Peter Sellers. Often thought of as primarily a director of comedies, he also directed several drama, musical, and detective films. Late in his career, he transitioned to writing, producing, and directing for theater. In 2004, he received an Honorary Academy Award in recognition of his writing, directing, and producing an extraordinary body of work for the screen. more…
