Do you know all our neighbors?

Yes, I know all of them,

and they're very nice people.

Except that priest who

lives above me. He's... Well...

However, he's quiet

most of the time.

Then there are the two women

on the first floor, and...

To tell you the truth, my dear,

Mortimer and Jezebel are my

only true companions really.

It's way past their bedtime.

Isn't it, sweetheart?

You wanna come with me?

That's it.

Now, if there's anything

I can do for you, let me know.

- There is.

- Just mention it.

Can I use your phone

in case of an emergency?

The phone company hasn't had

a chance to put my phone in yet.

Of course, if I had one

it would be a pleasure, but I don't.

Whom would I call, after all?

Now say good night, Jezebel.

Say good night.

Maybe she's just got a cold.

I think so.

She's very unpredictable.

Good night, my dear.

Good night.

Remember,

you eat and drink

with moderation.

This is the Arc de Triomphe,

as you can see.

- It's upside down.

- I took it standing on my head.

This is the Laughing Cavalier,

better known as the Mona Lisa.

You notice there's glass in front of it

because someone tried to desecrate it just...

You have some of

the most boring friends.

Well, we always

make out in the movies.

Not here.

Hey, I hear you fainted today.

Who told you?

Your boring friend, Jack.

Well, I'm okay.

Al, come back.

Marry me.

It's only been

two years since Karen.

Karen and I were not like

you and me. Forget it.

I can't forget it.

Think of us.

Au revoir to Paris,

and welcome to Siam.!

Ingrates!

I'll be one second.

Who's this?

Charles Chazen.

Minus parakeet and cat.

This man looks like a prune.

Well, I think he's cute.

Oh.

What's this?

I found it in my father's room.

I didn't know you were Catholic.

Does it matter?

Hello?

Is anybody here?

Hello?

How may we help you?

I just moved in upstairs and I just

thought I'd introduce myself.

I'm Alison Parker.

We don't get many visitors.

I'm Gerde and this is Sandra.

Hi.

Why don't you stay

and have some coffee with us?

Oh, I shouldn't.

Oh, I insist.

Cigarette?

No, I don't smoke.

Good. Sit.

I've already put coffee on.

Or would you rather tea?

- Oh, coffee's fine.

- Good.

Have you met anyone else

in the building?

Yes, I met Mr. Chazen from upstairs

with his animals.

Have you lived here long?

Don't be alarmed

if Sandra doesn't speak.

She seldom does.

Help yourself.

Enjoy.

Thank you.

The crucifix you're wearing...

where did you get it?

That's from my family.

It looks French from Alsace.

The gentleman

who left here this morning...

is, uh, that your boyfriend?

Yes.

Seems an adequate lover.

Sandra here lived with a man
