Good to have you back, Mr. Faber!

Good to be back, Henry. Real good.

Are you here to stay

or is it just a pit-stop?

Well... I think I'll put

up stakes for a while.

A young lady's up there waiting for you.

Ivy?

I guess so. The one with

the pink Studebaker.

Well, out of the jungle,

into the frying pan.

Adios Henry.

I'm coming.

Hi.

How'd you get in, honey?

- You gave me a key, don't you remember?

Here. Wait.

I couldn't just sit around,

knowing you were coming.

I've made a special dinner.

Lobster sauterne.

Something they wouldn't

do for you in Venezuela.

That's for sure.

Here.

I would've picked you

up at the airport but...

I thought it'd be much more

fun to surprise you here.

It's quite a surprise.

She'd gotten my letter from the desert.

She had it in black and white.

She... simply refused to believe me.

I think it's time you settled down, lover.

You can't keep on roving

around the world forever.

I'm ready, believe me.

Unfortunately, I gotta

go to Paris next week.

I thought you said we were gonna

have some real time together?

I had made plans for us to go to Montauk,

just the two of us. -Yeah, I know.

But uh... it's an important conference,

I just can't get out of it.

I'm important too.

Look honey, there's nothing I can do about

it. It's my work, you know that. -I know.

I'll go with you.

I've never been to Paris.

You got my letter. I mean,

you read the letter, right?

I can't believe you.

You never listen to me, everything is

different now. I told you I'm divorced.

Right.

I love Paris in the springtime.

I love Paris every day.

Monsieur.

To Paris.

Monsieur.

Look uh... honey. I gotta...

take a walk. I need some air. I've

been cooped up on planes for weeks.

You don't mind, do you?

I mean... we can meet later.

Lobster sauterne is good cold.

I had a week before

I had to fly to Paris.

I was looking forward to

New York, but not with Ivy.

Once again it was pure coincidence

that decided the future, I just...

happened to walk by a ship that

was sailing for France the next day.

I felt as though I was

starting a new life.

I had never made a sea voyage before.

I enjoyed being out of reach.

Excuse me.

You are sitting in my chair.

Oh, really?

Sorry.

- My name is on it.

Piper. You see?

Is that German?

- Yes.

Well, you speak pretty good English.

- I've always been told it's excellent.

Have you seen a book around here?

- A book?

No. Ah, there you go.

Here it is.

Must be an important book.

'The Stranger' by Camus.

Have you heard of it?

No.

That's amazing.

You haven't heard of Camus?

No, why? Should I have?

Sartre.

Have you heard of him?

Oh yeah. You mean the existentialist guy,
