situation in the field.

I think we could use

your talents.

You interested?

When do I start?

You ever hear of Clark Devlin?

Rumors and innuendo.

Del, I could tell you

a thing or two

about Clark Devlin.

Uh, you think we

could keep our minds

out of the gutter

for about a second?

Meet me upstairs

in an hour.

CHALMERS:

You might just become

Clark Devlin's next partner.

DEVLIN:

I'm going to need

that Gerris marginalis

as soon as possible.

WOMAN:

Yes. My contacts in Guatemala

have what you're looking for,

I'm sure.

Good.

And, meanwhile...

I'll take one of these

beautiful Uticella marginalis.

Just gorgeous.

(quiet chuckle)

Now, you're going to call me?

Is your phone number on file?

I'm having a bit of trouble

with the phones at the moment.

It might be better

if you dropped it off yourself.

It may take a while.

Well, why don't you

familiarize yourself

with the route?

There's a little gathering

at my house tonight...

a fund-raiser for

the Natural History Museum.

I would so love to have you.

(mouthing)

Should I send a car?

I drive myself.

Admirable.

Eight o'clock.

And, uh, be sure

not to wear anything

too distracting, or no one

will get their checkbooks out.

How did you learn

to be so smooth?

I've seen the way you drive.

You have

the same instincts I do.

You lack confidence.

The girl in the art gallery's

not beyond you, you know.

You know about her?

Every time we leave the house

we go by the art gallery

and slow down.

You just need a little polish.

(deep voice):

I'll never be a Clark Devlin.

Don't tell anyone this, Jimmy,

but there's a lot less

to Clark Devlin

than meets the eye.

I've got a couple of good lines

and a couple of

very expensive suits.

Apart from that,

we're exactly the same.

How about

a couple hundred million?

Trust me...

The other ten percent?

The other ten percent's

in there.

You've got plenty of it.

Oh, Mr. Devlin,

can I ask you a big favor?

Yeah?

Can I stop wearing my hat?

All right.

Thank you.

No, just stay smooth.

Remember... smooth.

Thank you.

Steena, Devlin.

This driver, this Jimmy,

I like him.

Let's get him a proper suit.

Something sexy. You pick it out.

All right.

Always a delight

talking to you, too, darling.

(phone beeps off)

Home, James.

Absolutely, Mr. Devlin.

(Argentine tango music plays)

(tango ends)

Oh!

Oops.

Watch your step.

Thank you, sir.

(Jimmy humming)

(continues humming)

(humming stops)

Oh...

This definitely not a rental.

Hello.

My name's Clark Devlin.

Would you like to dance?

Would you like to dance?

(chuckles)

Admirable.

There is just one rule.

(gasps)

Never touch my tuxedo.

I didn't.
