The Chinese say,
"It is difficult for love to last long.
"Therefore, one who loves passionately
is cured of love in the end. "
Now that's a hard way of thinking.
There's more to the proverb.
"Human nature is eternal.
"Therefore, one who follows his nature
keeps his original nature...
"... in the end. "
- Lover?
- Yes?
Aren't you glad
I talked Michael into coming along, Lover?
He must have changed his mind about me.
Faith, Mr. Bannister,
I've already told your wife.
I never make up my mind
about anything at all...
...until it's over and done with.
I'd like to,
but I can't deny that Mr. Bannister...
...did try to give his wife
the things she wanted.
She'd said once that she liked picnics.
We were on our way up
the Mexican coast...
...when he decided to stop
and give her one.
Well, Mr. Bannister's picnic party
was most typical of him.
A lot of trouble and a great deal
of money went into it, but...
...it was no more a picnic
than Bannister was a man.
When you hear what I got for you,
you'll say you bought it cheap.
We've worked a lot of cases together.
I'll be sorry if we make this the last.
There's a plot against my life, correct?
I'll be murdered.
That's the information you're peddling?
I'm going to be killed.
Why, Sid, don't you think I know about it?
All about it?
Now, leave me alone.
I want to enjoy myself.
Michael.
I tried to tell you. He isn't a steward.
- He isn't a good one.
- He's a detective.
My husband hires him to watch me.
He wants to fix it so I'll never divorce him.
- So he can divorce you?
- I haven't a cent.
- He wants to cut me off without a cent.
- Does that matter? it shouldn't.
I told you, sweet,
you don't know anything about the world.
Well, lately,
I've been rounding out my education.
I'll say this much for you, Arthur,
when you give a picnic, it's a picnic.
- Time for another, Arthur?
- Time for another.
- You know what? Michael still insists...
- What?
I beg your pardon?
I said, what?
Michael still insists on quitting.
Why shouldn't he?
No, I think Arthur ought to try
and make him stay.
If he wants to go, let him.
But George likes to have him around.
Michael's so big and strong.
He makes a good bodyguard for you.
Isn't that what you said, George?
- I don't need one.
- That's right.
- Not even a big strong bodyguard?
- Don't make another drink.
- With an Irish brogue?
- He's had enough.
George thinks Michael's fallen for you.
And that makes me unhappy,
George hopes.
Now, Arthur, I didn't say anything
about Michael and Elsa.
Make me another drink, George.
