and it's quite relaxing.

Marshall?

Uh, we got a little problem

here.

I'm with Byron,

and, uh, he says

He's not going

to do that pa tomorrow night.

Marshall?

He wants to talk to you.

He just went to the John.

No.

No.

( whispers ):

He knows you're here.

( whispers ):

I am here.

He says to tell you,

this has nothing to do

With any difference

between you two.

There's a lot of innocent people

affected here.

Tell him I can't quite see him

in the role of public defender.

He's not buying it, Marshall.

Orlok:

If he's so

interested

In the welfare of the people,

Tell him to stop

making pictures.

He doesn't care

about the people.

My interpreter.

Why Don't you talk

to him, Byron?

I'm in the middle here.

Don't call him back, ed.

Why torture yourself?

That's my job.

I get paid to be a masochist.

He's going to sue you, you know.

And he'll win.

I've got a little money.

Did you know

I graduated from Princeton?

Summa cum laude.

I majored

in English literature.

Well...

I think that I'll go

and get drunk.

So long, folks.

Good-bye, Eddie.

( gunshots )

Hey, deer season opens

next week.

Huh, what do you say?

Great.

Think you can get your wife

to let you go?

Don't worry

about that.

( chuckles )

Yeah, it'd be good for us.

Get away from the girls

for a couple of days.

Getting flabby.

Hey, maybe we'll ask

Pete and Tim along.

Just four guys.

Sounds great, sir.

Okay, we'll do it.

You ready?

Ready.

First one misses sets them up.

( gunshots )

Damn it.

( gun c*cks )

Hey!

What are you doing?!

You know better than that!

I was just checking

the elevation.

That's just

how accidents happen.

Never point a gun at anyone.

Sorry.

I wasn't thinking.

All done?

Yes.

Good. What about

my Chinese lesson?

I didn't think

you felt like it anymore.

Oh.

Well, how about

another drink

before dinner?

No, thanks.

Ah, still sulking, huh?

No.

Oh, yes, you are.

You've been sulking around

all evening

Ever since my little scene

with ed.

I have been upset.

I didn't know

it showed that much.

You Don't have to go on

being my secretary, you know.

I know.

I Don't want to

Break up a romance.

I Don't want that added

to my list of sins.

That's not why I'm upset,

and you know it.

No? Well, I feel no remorse,

I can tell you that.

The thought of never laying eyes

On Smith and Loughlin again

fills me with Joy.

So you can just stop

Being my little

oriental conscience.

You really are

in a foul mood.

Not at all.

I'm just tired

of your baleful looks.

Is that why you're trying

to pick a fight with me?

Look, my dear,

I know

you have an oxford degree,

And perhaps all this is

quite unworthy
