Mmm.

Mmm... Bordeaux... Cabernet...

Chteau Margaux.

Vintage... 1 837.

A bit heavy for a Margaux.

Correct!

Mmm. Mmm!

Chteau Petit-Village...

1 828.

It's very good.

Correct.

Well, I must say,

you seem to know your wine, sir.

I should, I should.

However, l feel I must comment on

your most unorthodox method of tasting.

Huh?

The accredited procedure is, of course,

to partake of a small mouthful, like this,

whoosh it around in the mouth like that,

and then inhale like this,

thus releasing the aroma...

You do it your way and I do it my way.

Ch...

Chteau...

Ch... teau...

Savignon!

It's very good.

Who dat... who dat...

- Who dat... who dat...

- Please, sir.

- Knocking at the door?

- Please, sir. Please.

Am dat you, Sam?

- Couldn't you walk a bit more upright?

- A little upright?

- Yes.

- A little bit more upright...

Who dat... who dat...

Am dat you, Sam?

Please, sir.

Who dat...

Hey, why... why don't you

sing with me, Sam?

- My name is not Sam.

- But sing with me!

- Who dat...

- Shh, shh, shh.

I know the way. Follow... follow me.

Here l am, young and handsome.

- Oh!

- Oh.

I want you to meet a friend of mine.

A very good friend of mine.

The best friend I ever had

in the whole wide world.

What was your name, friend?

Luchresi.

Fortunato Luchresi

at your service, ma'am.

I am Annabel Herringbone.

I was just trying to help my friend home.

He had too much to drink!

Asseyez-vous, Sam.

No, really, I must be going.

Asseyez-vous, Sam.

Thank you.

Come on and sit down, friend.

Siddown!

- You... you live in the city, Mr. Luchresi?

- Yes. Yes, I do, Mrs. Herringbone.

My, what a lovely cat!

Well!

- You like cats?

- Oh, l adore them, yes.

I have several of my own at home.

He's... resting.

Yes, he's... resting.

Oh.

I think he's ill.

Oh.

With women...

with women you have to assert yourself.

Take my case, for instance.

I tell my wife to give me some money.

I want to go out for the evening.

Well, sir, it used to be

that she gave me trouble.

Argued with me and tried to withhold

what was rightfully mine.

But now she just gives me

all the money I ask for,

and I can stay away the entire night

doing exactly as I please -

which happens to be drinking.

- Since when?

- Since when?

Huh?

Seems to me...

since that day I went to

that wine sellers convention and met...

And he assisted me home and I...

l introduced him to my wife.

- Good night, my treasure.

- Good night, beloved.

Let me look at you again.

Until tomorrow night, heart of my heart.

Oh!

Good evening, dear.

You gave me such a start.

- Why?

- I didn't expect you home so early.

You didn't?

I thought it would be nice if l came home
