You Will Meet A Tall Dark Stranger Page #4

I'm sorry about the stick,

but I've just had my hip replaced.

At first, I thought I fell down

and broke it.

But what actually happened was,

it broke, and then I fell down.

Do you see the difference?

He tried spending time

with younger colleagues from his firm,

but he felt even more out of place

and ridiculous.

And then, one day, after months

of loneliness and awkward experiences,

he took his daughter for a walk

and made a startling announcement.

I've met a woman, I'm very much in love,

I'm going to get married.

- Isn't that fabulous?

- You're kidding.

No. You seem shocked.

Is that what this walk's about?

So private and mysterious.

Well, I told your mother

and, you know, she was surprised,

but she took it well.

Apparently, this woman she's been seeing,

who gives her guidance about her future,

has given her a lot of strength emotionally.

Anyway, I would like you to

help choose some perfume with me.

Would you do that?

So, who is this woman

you're going to marry?

Her name is Charmaine.

She's an actress! Half his age!

This is all for the good.

I've got a strong feeling that this is

a positive turning point in your life.

But where is my life heading?

I need direction.

- Is my future as empty as I feel it is?

- Listen. This is a pivotal moment.

Now, you've got several paths

to choose from.

You've got to make sure

you choose the right one.

My darling! I'm seeing you triumphing.

I'm seeing you with a new love.

- What, a new love for me?

- I can see it! I can see it!

This development in your husband's life

can only be favorable to you.

You're saying I shall meet a new love?

And I'll tell you something else.

Your husband will never love

this woman he's marrying

as much as he loved you.

I've kept all his letters.

They were so adoring.

Christ, no one wants to get old!

I don't want to get old!

And you're saying I won't be alone?

I don't want to spend

the rest of my life alone.

Oh, my sweetheart.

You are entering a period

of great fulfillment.

I'm seeing a handsome stranger

coming into your life.

Powerful attraction.

You're like two magnets.

Sally, can you call Lucien Moss

and get me out of my lunch tomorrow?

- Reschedule?

- Well, yes.

- Tell him I'll call to reschedule, yeah.

- Okay.

And arrange a flight to Venice

for my wife and myself for the 25th.

Which reminds me,

I need you to come with me this afternoon.

Yes, they're lovely.

I particularly like that one.

Sally, could you please come?

Take a look at this.

- Which ones are you thinking of?

- These diamonds.

Or the pearls.

- Well, they're both beautiful.

- They are.

Now, what's the best price

you'll give me on these?
