Why did you take down my plates?

If we need you, we'll be in touch.

Hey.

Sorry we're late.

Hey, Oliver.

He had a rough night.

We saw an accident. It was terrible.

It's okay.

School starts at 8:10.

You have to have him there at 8.

Do you want to come in?

No, I'm late for a party.

Enjoy the party.

Make sure you take your pills.

One every night.

Okay. Love you.

It was awful.

You should've seen her face.

She was terrified, Ben.

And the police did nothing.

Absolutely nothing.

I offered to give my name, be a witness.

And Oliver, he saw the whole thing.

Is he all right?

I mean, he seemed all right,

but I had to leave him.

We don't have to do this tonight.

I can take you home.

No, I want to. I want to.

- You sure?

- I'm good, yes. Let's have fun.

This is meant to be fun.

You look stunning.

Good evening, Dr. Ben.

- How are you?

- Fine, fine.

- Oh, that might be Ollie.

- May I take your coat?

- Thank you.

- The ambassador and his wife are waiting.

Hi, Mom.

I miss you. Gene wants to say hi.

Hi, Miss Bennell.

- Bye. I love you.

- Bye.

- May I take your coat, madam?

- Thank you.

You are Carol.

Carol Bennell, this is Dr. Henryk Belicec

and his wonderful wife, Luddie.

Come here and let me see you.

Ben has told us a lot about you.

Let us go in. Dinner will be ready soon.

Now, you two sit with us.

We want some real people

around us tonight.

- Something's wrong with my dad.

- Yeah.

Mine too.

- Dad?

- In here, Oliver.

I'm making some hot chocolate.

Would you like some hot chocolate?

So Ben tells me that

you are a psychiatrist.

This is very interesting.

This is exactly what I need.

You need what every Czech needs:

a stiff Russian boot up your behind.

Pity they don't make Russian boots

anymore. They're all made in China.

You seat me beside a beautiful woman

without introducing me, and you insult me.

Oh, don't let him get started, Henyo.

I'm sorry, Yorish. My humblest apologies.

You have the honor of meeting one of

Washington's most notorious diplomats.

My friend and the source

of this exquisite caviar...

...Russian Ambassador

Yorish Kaganovich.

- Nice to meet you, ambassador.

- The pleasure is entirely mine.

Henryk's guests are usually

as old and as ugly as I am.

I beg to differ.

No one's as ugly as you are, Yorish.

You know what "Czechoslovakia"

means in Russian, doctor?

It means a "doormat."

Someone still speaks Russian?

I thought it was a dead language.

My cheeky friend and I pretend to enjoy

ourselves, but secretly we are rivals...

...exploiting each other for personal gain.

I am here to drink his champagne...

...and he invites me

because I can get the real caviar.
