[People Chattering, Laughing]
[Man #1] Broke in right on the two of them
[Man #2] No matter what they say, it's all about money
So let's imagine, ladies, that you're a Savings and Loan officer. Watch
One, two, three. See?
You've got it all, and we've got nothin'
- And you have all four. Take a look. - Oh!
But I wouldn't trust you with real gold
- That's why this one's only worth about a penny. - [Man] Hmm
And if you wonder where the other one went, watch
A penny from the ear. How much for the rest? [Laughs]
- Have you seen Edward? - No, I haven't. Great party, Philip
My wife went to a lot of trouble; she called a caterer
- Excuse me, Ann. Howard, how are you? - Philip, good
Hey, I understand Edward's taking over Morse Industries
- Yeah, well, he's not here to get a suntan. - Can I get in on it?
- Yeah. Call me. - When?
Just call me
- Uh, hi. I'm Philip Stuckey, Edward Lewis's lawyer. - Where's the guest of honor?
He's probably off in a corner somewhere charming a very pretty lady
How are you? [Kiss]
I told my secretary to make the arrangements. Didn't she call you?
[Woman] Yes, she did. I speak to your secretary more than I speak to you
- I see. - I have my own life too, you know, Edward
This is a very important week for me. I need you here
But you never give me any notice. You just think I'm at your beck and call
I do not believe that you are at my beck and call
Well, that's the way you always make me feel
- Maybe I should just move out. - If that's what you want, yes
All right, when you get back to New York, we'll discuss it
- Now is as good a time as any. - That's fine with me, Edward. Good-bye
- [Click] - Good-bye, Jessica
[Party Chatter]
- Phil suggested that maybe I should take a l�� - Phil is just my lawyer, okay?
- Yes, sir. - How did the Morse stock open at the Nikkei?
- I don't know. - You don't know? Tokyo opened maybe 90 minutes ago

- Hello, Mr. Lewis. - Hi. How you doin'? I want this whole thing��

- Hi. - Hi. [Kiss]
- I was sorry to hear about Carter. - Oh, yeah. Thanks
- Heard you got married. - Well�� yeah. I couldn't wait for you!
- [Laughs] - Mmm. Susan, tell me something
- Yes? - When you and I were dating
did you speak to my secretary more than you spoke to me?
She was one of my bridesmaids
Hmm. Your husband's a very lucky guy
- [Kiss] Bye. - Thanks, bye
- Do you? - Absolutely
- Wonderful. - He's leaving. Edward's leaving
- Excuse me. - Sure
- [Edward] Is this Mr. Stuckey's car? - [Speaking Cantonese]
Edward, where you goin'?
- You got the keys to your car? - Why, what's wrong with the limo?
Look, the limo is buried back there. Darryl can't get it out
- [Philip] Mmm. - Please give me the keys. - All right, look
I don't think you should drive. You're a little excited. Don't drive my car
Let me work something out here. Fellas, what kind of a system is this?
Can you move these cars out of here? Look, Edward
- Edward. Uh, are you familiar with a stick shift? - Uh, yeah
- Have you driven a shift? Listen, all right. - Yeah. Yeah
- Just be ginger with it. It's a new car. - [Gears Clash]

Yo, Viv!

Carlos sold me some great shit. We just had this party. I was the hostess
I can't believe you bought drugs with our rent. What is goin' on with you, Kit?
I needed a little pick-me-up
- Well, we need rent money! - Oh, calm down, chica
- She only owes me 200 more. - Carlos!
- Another $200? - That was from way before
That's right, 200, Vivian. But if you wanna work off her money with me
- we can work something out. - That's a very sweet offer, Carlos, but not now
- Come on, Viv. Come downstairs. - Work out�� Work out what?
- What are we gonna work out? - You really like her, Carlos?
You took it while I was sleeping?
- You were unavailable for consultation. - Hey, let's go
Snack! Snack!
- Besides, it's my apartment. - Yeah, well, I have to live there too, Kit
Look, you came here; I gave you some money; I gave you a place to stay��
and some valuable vocational advice
He was on my case. I had to give him something
So don't irritate me
- This ain't a buffet, Kit. - Irritate you?
Irritate you? I just saw a girl pulled out of a Dumpster
I know. Skinny Marie. But�� she was a�� a flake
She was a crack head. Dominic was trying to straighten her out for months
- [People Shouting, Glass Breaking] - [Man] Leave her alone!
Don't you want to get outta here?
Get outta where? Where the fuck you wanna go?
Aah, nothin' but garbage
- Uh, excuse me. - Huh?

That's Sylvester Stallone's house right there. [Laughs]
- Thank you. - You're welcome
- Hey, yo, Rachel. - What?
- Yeah. You see the stars on the sidewalk, babe? - Yeah
Well, Vivian and me, we work Bob Hope, we work the Ritz Brothers
we work Fred Astaire, we work all the way down to Ella Fitzgerald
This is our turf. We got seniority. You better get off our corner
Forgive me. I was just takin' a rest here. Besides, she's new
Yeah. Well, I'm old, so go rest up by Monty Hall or Esther Wilson
- Williams. - Esther Williams! Where you belong!
Back off, Kit. You know, you're really becoming a grouch
- Am I really a grouch? - Yes
Sometimes
Well, just 'cause I'm hungry. I'm gonna go get something to eat
- [Whistle] Hey, girls. - Hey, yo, baby!
How about a freebie? It's my birthday
Dream on!
It's lookin' really slow tonight
Yeah, well�� maybe we should get a pimp, you know. Carlos really digs you
And then he'll run our lives and take our money. No
You're right. We say who, we say when, we say how much
- Do you think I look like Carol Channing? - No! I love this look
- It's very glamorous. Glamour choice. - [Brakes Screech]
Oh, yo, oh, yo. Catch this!
[Grinding Gears]
Wait a minute. That's a Lotus Esprit
[Brakes Screech]
No, that's rent. You should go for him. You look hot tonight
Don't take less than a hundred. Call me when you're through. Take care of you
- Take care of you. - �ӡ� [Car Radio]
[Exhales]
Work it. Work it, baby. Work it!
Work it. Own it
Yes, you can handle this
- First is here somewhere. - [Gears Grinding]
Hey, sugar, you lookin' for a date?
No, I wanna find Beverly Hills. Can you give me directions?
Sure. For five bucks
- Ridiculous. - Price just went up to ten
You can't charge me for directions
I can do anything I want to, baby. I ain't lost
All right, okay?
All right. You win, I lose. Got change for a 20?
For 20, I'll show you personal. Even show you where the stars live
- Oh, that's all right. I already been to Stallone's. - Right. Uh, down the street Make a right.
Lights! Lights would be good here
- This is a hot car! - lt's a little, little temperamental.
- Yours? - No, it isn't.
- Stolen? - N-Not exactly.
What's your name?
What do you want it to be?
- Vivian. My name is Vivian. - Vivian
- So, what hotel you stayin' at? - The, uh, Regent Beverly Wilshire
Down the block, right at the corner
[Gears Clash]
Man, this baby must corner like it's on rails!
I beg your pardon?
Well, doesn't it blow your mind? This is only four cylinders
- [Gears Clash] - You know about cars. Where did that come from?
Road and Track. The boys back home I grew up with
they were really into American heavy metal: Mustangs, Corvettes
- Ah. - They bought 'em cheap and fixed 'em up. I paid attention
So how is it you know so little about cars?
[Exhales] My first car was a limousine
- Oh. - So where is this��
- [Gears Grinding] - [Grunting] heavy metal�� home?
Millage Ville, Georgia
You know, I think you left your transmission back there
- [Exhales] - You're not shifting right. This is a standard ��H.��
Standard ��H.�� Like I know what that means
- [Laughs] - Have you ever driven a Lotus?
- No. - You're gonna start right now
- You're joking. - No. It's the only way I can get you off my coat
Fasten your seat belts. l am taking you for the ride of your life.
- I'm gonna show you what this car can really do. Are you ready? - I am ready
- Hang on. - Okay. - Here we go
This has pedals like a race car. They're really close together
So it's probably easier for a woman to drive, 'cause they have little feet
Except me. I wear a size nine
You know your foot's as big as your arm from your elbow to your wrist?
- [Chuckles] - Did you know that?
- No, I didn't know that. - It's a little bit of trivia
Tell me, what kind of�� what kind of money you girls make these days?
Ballpark
Can't take less than $100
- A hundred dollars a night. - For an hour
An hour?
You make $100 an hour and you got a safety pin holding your boot up?
You gotta be joking
- I never joke about money. - Neither do I
Hundred dollars an hour
Pretty stiff
Well, no. But it's got potential
[Tires Squeal]
Good evening, Mr. Lewis
Will you be needing the car anymore tonight?
[Laughing] L�� I hope not!
Ah. We're here
Yeah
So you'll be all right?
Yeah, I'm gonna grab a cab with my twenty bucks
- Go back to your office. - [Laughs] Yeah
My office. Yeah
Well, thanks for the ride
- See you. - Good-bye
No taxis?
No, I like the bus
I was thinking�� Did you really say $100 an hour?
- Yeah. - Yeah
Well, if you don't have any prior engagements
I'd be very pleased if you would accompany me into the hotel
You got it
[Laughs] What is your name?
- Edward. - Edward. That's my favorite name in the whole world!
- No! - I tell you what, this is fate, Edward
That's what this is
- Why don't you put this on? - Why?
Well, this hotel is not the kind of establishment that rents rooms by the hour
Ah
- Wow! - [Chuckles] It's all right
- Holy shit. - You're gonna be fine
Come with me. And stop fidgeting
- Good evening, Mr. Lewis. - Hello. You have messages?
- Yes, we have several. - Thank you
- Could you send up some champagne and strawberries, please? - Of course
Room service for Mr. Lewis, please
Oh, honey
You know what's happened? I've got a runner in my pantyhose
[Laughs] I'm not wearing pantyhose
[Elevator Bell Dings]
Well, color me happy! There's a sofa in here for two
- First time in an elevator. - Ah
Close your mouth, dear
Sorry, I couldn't help it
Try
- Penthouse. - The penthouse
- Yes. - Mmm
- To the left. - Oh
[Sighs]
Oh, I miss keys
Impressed?
You kidding me? I come here all the time
- As a matter of fact, they do rent this room by the hour. - Sure they do
Wow, great view!
- I bet you can see all the way to the ocean from out here. - I'll take your word for it
- I don't go out there. - Why don't you go out there?
- I'm afraid of heights. - You are?
So how come you rented the penthouse?
It's the best. I looked all around for penthouses on the first floor
but I can't find one
Well, now that you have me here, what are you going to do with me?
- Want to know something? I don't have a clue. - No?
I hadn't exactly planned this
Well, do you plan everything?
- Always. - Yeah. Me too
I'm actually�� No, I'm not a planner. I wouldn't say I was a planner
I would say I was, um, a kind of ��fly by the seat of my pants�� gal
You know, moment to moment. That's me. That's�� Yeah
Mm-hmm. You know, you could pay me
That's one way to maybe break the ice
Oh, yeah. I'm sorry. Uh, I assume cash is acceptable
Cash works for me, yeah
You're on my fax
Well, that's one I haven't been on before
- Cute. She's very cute. Thank you. - [Laughs]
All right. Here we go
Pick one. I got red, I got green, I got yellow
I'm out of purple, but I do have one gold circle coin left
The condom of champions. The one and only. Nothing is gettin' through this sucker
- What d'you say? Hmm? - A buffet of safety
I'm a safety girl
- [Sighs] - All right, let's get one of these on you
No. L��
[Laughs Awkwardly]
Why don't we just talk for a little bit, okay?
Talk. Yeah�� uh�� okay
Edward, are you in town on, uh, business or pleasure?
- Business, I think. - Business, you think
Well�� let me guess
That would make you�� a lawyer
- A lawyer. - Mm-hmm
- What makes you think I'm a lawyer? - You've got that, um��
sharp, useless look about you
[Chuckles] I bet you've known a lot of lawyers
I've known a lot of everybody
�ӡ� [Doorbell Chimes Play Melody]
What is that?
- Champagne. - Oh! Well
Might as well make myself useful
- Take a load off. - �ӡ� [Chimes Repeat]
- Good evening. - Hi
- Uh, where would you like it? - Where would we like it?
Uh, over by the bar
Excuse me! [Giggles]
Lt'll be on your bill, Mr. Lewis
Thank you
- What are you lookin' at? - [Clears Throat]
- What is he lookin' at? - Ah, yes. Here you go. Thank you very much
Thank you very much, sir. Have a nice night
A tip. Wow. I missed that one. Oh
- [Softly] Stupid. - Don't worry about it
- You mind if I take my boots off? - Not at all
- So, do you have a wife? Girlfriend? - I have both
- Where are they? Shopping together? - [Cork Pops]
My ex-wife�� is now in Long Island�� in my ex-home��
with my ex-dog
There you go. My ex-girlfriend, Jessica, is in New York��
moving out of my apartment even as we speak
Why don't you try a strawberry?
- Why? - It brings out the flavor in the champagne
Oh, groovy
- [Sighs] - Pretty good
- Don't you drink? - No
Listen, l�� I appreciate this whole seduction scene you've got goin'
but let me give you a tip: I'm a sure thing, okay?
So, I'm on an hourly rate. Could we just move it along?
Somehow I'm sensing that this time problem is a major issue with you
Why don't we just get through that right now?
- Great, let's get started. - How much for the entire night?
[Clicks Tongue] Stay here?
[Snickers] You couldn't afford it
- Try me. - $300
Done. Thank you. Now we can relax
I'll be out in just a minute. That champagne kind of got to me
- I didn't hear you. What did you say? - Uh��
I said I'd be out in just a minute
What is�� What do you have in, uh, your hand there?
- What are you hiding? - Nothing
[Sighs] All right, look. I do not want any drugs here
I don't want any of this. Get your things and your money and please leave
I don't do drugs, all right? I-I stopped doing drugs when I was 14
What is this? What is this?
- This is dental floss. - Yeah? So?
I had all those strawberry seeds. And you shouldn't neglect your gums
I'm sorry. Please continue
Thank you
- Are you gonna watch? - No, I'm going
Thank you
It's just that, uh, very few people surprise me
Yeah, well, you're lucky. Most of 'em shock the hell outta me
- You're watching. - I'm going
[Woman Speaking Italian]
[Audience Laughing]
[Speaking Italian]
- [Edward] Yes, that may be true, Vance. - [Vivian Laughing]
Yes, I know, but I still need the numbers on Morse Industries
Uh-huh. I've got 'em from London;
- I need 'em now from Tokyo. - [TV Continues]
I'll call down and get them when I want them. Thank you very much
I have a little carpet picnic here. Are you sure you don't want a drink?
[Snorts] I'm high on life. Can't you tell?
[Laughs]
[Laughing]
You know, I never saw this episode
- [Chuckles] - [Laughing]
[Laughs Loudly]
[Vivian Laughing]
[Chuckles]
[TV Continues]
[Chuckles]
[Audio Mutes]
What do you want?
What do you do?
Everything
But I don't kiss on the mouth
Neither do I
[Kissing]
[Inhales, Sighs]
- Hey, how you doing there? - All right
- Good morning, gentlemen. - Good morning, Mr. Thompson
- Good morning, good morning. - Good morning, sir
- [Woman] Good morning, Mr. Thompson. - Good morning, Marjorie
Of course Morse is going to fight. It's to be expected
He's run his company for a very long time now
I don't think he's ready to have his name taken off the stationery
He wants to meet you face to face
- [Philip] I wouldn't do it. - Sure, you wouldn't. But do it anyhow
Tonight. Dinner. Set it up
Oh, Edward, Edward. L�� Look, it's really not a good idea that you see him
Definitely not alone. [Chuckles] You know? He's a feisty old guy
You know, we say the wrong thing, we could wind up in court
Well, you know, there's always a possibility things are gonna go wrong
That's why I enjoy this so much. Oh, by the way, Phil, about your car
- Oh, God. What? - It corners like it's on rails
What? What does that mean? Edward? Edward!
Hi
Well, good morning
Red
Better
Y-You didn't wake me. I can see you're really busy
- I'm gonna be outta here in just a minute. - No, there's no hurry
Are you hungry? You must be
Why don't you sit and have something to eat?
I, uh, took the liberty of ordering everything on the menu
I didn't know what you'd like
- Thanks. - All right? Good
- Did you sleep well? - Yeah, too good
- I forgot where I was. - Occupational hazard?
[Chuckles] Yeah. Did you sleep?
Uh, yes, a little, on the couch
I was, uh, working last night
You don't sleep, you don't do drugs
you don't drink, you hardly eat
What do you do, Edward? 'Cause I know you're not a lawyer
[Laughs] That's right
There are four other chairs here
Oh
- So what do you do? - I buy companies
What kind of companies?
Uh, I buy companies that are in financial difficulty
If they have problems, you must get 'em for a bargain, huh?
Well, the company I'm buying this week
I'm getting for the bargain price of about one billion
- A billion dollars? - Yes
Wow. You must be really smart, huh?
[Chuckles]
I only got through the eleventh grade
How far did you go in school?
I went all the way
Your folks must be really proud, huh?
[Sighs] So you don't actually have a billion dollars, huh?
No, I get some of it from banks, investors
It's not an easy thing to do
- And you don't make anything and you don't build anything. - No. No
- So what do you do with the companies once you buy them? - I sell them
Here, let me do that. You sell them
Well, I�� don't sell the whole company; I break it up into pieces��
and then I sell that off; it's worth more than the whole
So it's sort of like, um, stealing cars and selling 'em for the parts, right?
- [Exhales] Yeah, sort of. But legal. - Mm-hmm
There. See, now it's perfect
Not bad. Not bad at all. Where'd you learn to do that?
Well, I screwed the debate team in high school
I had a grandpa! He was nice to me. He liked ties on Sundays
Mind if I, um, take a swim in your tub before I go?
Not at all. Just stay in the shallow end
- Hello? - Edward, it's Phil. Listen, I'm running out the door
I just wanted to let you know, Morse is all set for tonight
- Oh, that's good. - He's bringing his grandson
He's grooming him to take over. I don't know
Ah, yes. Very intense young man named David. He plays polo
Look, I gotta say this again. I don't like you goin' alone
[Vivian] �� I just want your extra time and your ��
Look, I just think it'd be better if you�� if you went with a date
- You know? Keep it social. [Chuckles] - �ӡ� [Singing Continues]
- Edward? Did you hear me? - Oh, yes. Yeah, I'm here
- �� If you want to impress me �� - [Philip] What is that?
- �� Oh �� - Housekeeping is singing
�� Got to be too flirty, Mama ��
- �� I know how to undress me �� - Yeah�� listen
- Edward, I know a lot of nice girls. - No, you don't
�� I just want your extra time and your ��
[Kissing] �� Kiss ��
- Besides, I already have one. - �� If you want to impress me ��
You just concentrate on finding out what Morse is up to. I'm on my way
�� I know how to undress me Mm-hmm, yeah, baby ��
�� I want to be your fantasy ��
�� Well, maybe you could be mine ��
�� Mm-hmm You just leave it ��
�� All up to me �ӡ�
- [Laughs] - Don't you just love Prince?
- More than life itself. - Don't you knock?
Vivian, I have a business proposition for you
- What do you want? - I'm gonna be in town until Sunday
I'd like you to spend the week with me
- Really? - Yes
Yes, I'd like to hire you as an employee
- Would you consider spending the week with me? - [Laughs Awkwardly]
I will pay you to be at my beck and call
Look, I'd love to be your ��beck and call girl,��
but you're a rich, good-lookin' guy
You could get a million girls free
I want a professional
I don't need any romantic hassles this week
If you're talkin' 24 hours a day, it's gonna cost you
Oh, yes, of course!
All right, here we go
Give me a ballpark figure. How much?
Six full nights, days too
- Four thousand. - Six nights at 300 is 1,800
- You want days too. - Two thousand
- Three thousand. - Done
Holy shit! [Laughs]
Vivian
Vivian, is that a yes?
Yes. [Spitting, Laughing] Yes!
I'll be gone most of the day. I want you to buy some clothes
- You really should think about traveler's checks. - We may be going out evenings
- You'll need something to wear. - Like what?
Uh, nothing too flashy. Not too sexy
- Conservative. You understand? - Boring
Elegant. Any questions?
- Can I call you Eddie? - Not if you expect me to answer
I would've stayed for 2,000
I would've paid four
- I'll see you tonight. - Baby, I'm gonna treat you so nice
you're never gonna wanna let me go
Three thousand for six days. And, Vivian, I will let you go
But I'm here now
[Laughing Wildly]
[Whooping]
Three thousand dollars!
Ooh
[Phone Ringing]
Hello?
I called and called. Where were you last night?
- Ma? - It's Viv
Oh. Hi. I had to party. Where are you?
Oh, man. Are you ready for this? The guy?
The Lotus? I am in his hotel room in Beverly Hills
The penthouse. His bathroom is bigger than the Blue Banana!
Do I have to hear this?
Kit, he wants me to stay the whole week. And you know what he's gonna give me?
- Guess. You'll never guess. - [Slurps]
- Three thousand dollars. - Bullshit!
I swear to God. And extra money to buy clothes
Oh, man! I am bummed. I gave that guy to you!
Three thousand. Really? Is he twisted?
- No. - Ugly? - He's good-looking!
- Well, what's wrong with him? - Nothing
- Did he give you the money yet? - At the end of the week. - That's what's wrong with him
Well, he gave me 300 for last night. And, Kit?
I'm gonna leave some at the front desk for you. I want you to pick it up
I'm at the Regent Beverly Wilshire. Write it down
Are you writing it down? You'll forget it. Write it down
Reg�� Bev�� Wil
Now, one more thing. Where do I go for the clothes? Good stuff, on him
- In Beverly Hills? - Yeah
Rodeo Drive, baby
[Conversing In Italian]
- Hi. - Yes, ma'am. May I help you?
Yeah, I'm leaving this here for Kit De Luca. She's gonna pick it up
- Don't open that. - No, ma'am
[Speaking Italian]
- Grazie. - Arrivederci
Miss Wilson, do you know that lady?
No, sir
�� Wild women do ��
�� And they don't regret it ��

�� Wild women do what you think you'll never ��
�� What you only dream about wild women do ��

- May I help you? - I'm just checkin' things out
Are you looking for something in particular?
No. Well, yeah. Something�� conservative
Yes
- You got nice stuff. - Thank you
- How much is this? - I don't think this would fit you
Well, I didn't ask if it would fit. I asked how much it was
How much is this, Marie?
It's very expensive
- It's very expensive. - Look, I got money to spend in here
I don't think we have anything for you
You're obviously in the wrong place
Please leave
[Pedestrians Chattering]
[Woman] Doctor's office? Two blocks down and to your left
[Man] Thank you
[Man] Tiffany is taking the corner space; they like the project
We're very excited about the whole thing
Did you realize that Via Rodeo is the first new street��
in Beverly Hills in 75 years?
- Excuse me, miss, may I help you? - I'm going to my room
- Uh, do you have a key? - Oh. I forgot that cardboard thing
- I'm on the top floor. - You're a guest here?
- I'm with a friend. - And who would that be?
- Edward. - Edward?
- [Elevator Bell Dings] - Edward�� Edward, uh��
- He knows me. - Dennis
Dennis, did you just come off the night shift? Hmm?
- Yes, sir. - Do you know this young lady?
- She's with Mr. Lewis. - Mr. Lewis
That's it. Edward Lewis! Thanks, Dennis
- Evidently she joined him last night. - Thank you
[Vivian] Oh, God! What now? What? What?
- What is with everybody today? - No, no. It's all right. Just come with me
- We'll have a little chat. Thank you. Dennis, thank you. - I'm coming
- Uh, what is your name, miss? - What do you want it to be?
- Don't play with me, young lady. - Vivian
Thank you. Vivian
Well, Miss Vivian
Things that go on in other hotels don't happen at the Regent Beverly Wilshire
Now, Mr. Lewis, however, is a very special customer
and we like to think of our special customers as friends
Now, as a customer, we would expect Mr. Lewis to sign in any additional guests
but as a friend, we're willing to overlook it
Now, I'm assuming that you're a��
- Relative? - Yes
I thought so. Then you must be his��
Niece?
Of course. Naturally, when Mr. Lewis leaves, I won't see you in this hotel again
I assume you have no other uncles here
Good! Then we understand each other. I would also encourage you��
to dress a little more appropriately; that'll be all
No, that's not all. That's what I was trying to do. I tried to go��
get a dress on Rodeo Drive today, and the women wouldn't help me
And I have all this money now and no dress!
Not that I expect you to help me, but I have all of this, okay?
I have to buy a dress for dinner tonight
And nobody will help me
Oh, man, if you're callin' the cops
Yeah, call the cops. That's great. Tell 'em I said hi
Women's clothing
Bridget, please
[Blowing Nose Loudly]
Yes, Bridget. Hello. This is Barnard Thompson here at the Regent Beverly Wil��
[Chuckles] Thank you, yes, but I'd like you to do a favor for me, please
I'm sending someone over. Her name is Vivian
She's a special guest
She's the niece of a very special guest
[Philip] Now, this is the jewel in Morse's crown:
Prime industrial property straddling the port of Long Beach and Los Angeles
The real estate possibilities are endless, but most of the yard we'll just level
We just got the information, Mr. Stuckey
Edward, we just got the Morse update. Don, can you hold the projection, please?
[Sighs] Yeah, what? Speak
Old Man Morse just got the inside track on a $350 million contract��
- to build destroyers for the Navy. - [Philip Snickers]
Navy contract. I can't believe this
- You said they had nothing in the hopper on this one! - I thought they didn't
Hey, you know, if that's true it could cost a lot more
Those stocks could go through the roof
- Yeah, no shit, Sherlock. - Maybe we're lucky to get this information now, sir
- See, we can still walk away from it. - [Philip] Walk away?
Hey, forget it, pal. We got a thousand man-hours in on this!
- Nobody's walkin' away from anything! - Philip, I think he's right
- [Arguing Loudly] - Gentlemen, relax!
Relax! Who do we know on the Senate Appropriations Committee?
Senator Adams
All right, Senator Adams. Let's find out where he is
The Navy's not gonna spend $350 million on anything without going to Appropriations first
- I don't understand what's goin' on here today, gentlemen. - Hello?
That's why I hired you, Phil, to do my worrying for me
I'll be in your office. Bob, if you want to send over the geologicals?
- No problem. - Thank you. - [Philip] Edward
- Listen, everything all set for the meeting tonight? - Mm-hmm
Who�� Who is this girl you're going with?
Nobody you know
[Assistant] Yes, Edward Lewis Enterprises. Phil Stuckey
Yes, I have him right here
- Don't worry, Mrs. Rainey, I'll call you the minute it comes in. - Thank you
- Have a nice day. - Thank you
Hello. You must be Vivian. My name's Bridget
- Yeah, hi. Barney said you'd be nice to me. - [Laughs]
He's very sweet. What are your plans while you're in town?
- We're gonna have dinner. - Oh, don't sit on there, dear!
- You're gonna go out? Dinner? - Mm-hmm
Well, you'll need a cocktail dress then. Come with me
Now, I'm sure we're gonna find something here that your uncle will love
- You're a size six, right? - Yeah. How'd you know that?
- Oh, that's my job. - Bridg, he's not really my uncle
They never are, dear
[Speaking Japanese]
Barney! Sorry, mister
- [Speaks Japanese] - I got a dress!
Well, I'd rather hoped you'd be wearing it
Oh, no, I didn't want to get it messed up! Listen, I got shoes too. You wanna see?
No, that won't be necessary. I'm sure they're quite lovely. Thank you
Okay, well, listen. I didn't mean to interrupt you, but Bridget was really great��
and I just wanted to say thanks
- You're cool. - You're welcome, Miss Vivian
[Ringing]
Hello?
Never, ever pick up the phone
- Then why are you calling me? - Did you buy clothes today?
- I got a dress. A cocktail one. - That's good
I'll be in the hotel lobby, 7:45 sharp
What? You're not comin' up to the door?
This isn't a date. It's business
Where are you takin' me, anyway?
I'm taking you to a restaurant called the Voltaire
- Very elegant. - All right
I'll meet you in the lobby, but only 'cause you're payin' me to
Well, thank you very much
Get her back for me, please
- Mr. Stuckey wanted to see you. - Yes, tell him I'm in the middle of a very important phone call
- [Phone Ringing] - Hello?
- I told you not to pick up the phone. - Then stop callin' me
- [Laughs] - Sick
- Barney! - It didn't fit
Oh, no, no, no, no, no. Uh�� I've got a little problem
All right, Miss Vivian, one more time
- Dinner napkin. - Dinner napkin, laid gently in the lap
Good. Elbows off the table. Don't slouch
Shrimp fork
salad fork, dinner fork
I definitely have the salad fork
The rest of the silverware is a little confusing
All right, if you get nervous, just count the tines
Four tines: Dinner fork
And sometimes there are three tines in the salad fork. And sometimes��
[Hotel Guests Chattering]
�ӡ� [Piano: Lounge Music]
Pardon me, Mr. Lewis. I'm Mr. Thompson. I'm the manager of the hotel
- Uh-huh. Excuse me, I just want to make one call. - Yes, um, sir
- I have a message for you, sir. - From who?
- From your niece, sir. - My what?
The young lady who's staying with you in your room, sir
Oh. Hmm
- I think we both know that she's not my niece. - Of course
The reason I know that is that I am an only child
- Yes, sir. - What's the message?
She's waiting for you in the lounge
Intriguing young lady, Miss Vivian
- Intriguing. - Have a good evening, sir
- Thank you, Mr��? - Thompson. I'm the manager�� manager of the hotel, sir
�ӡ� [Piano]
�ӡ� [Continues]
You're late
You're stunning
You're forgiven. [Laughs]
Shall we go to dinner?
- This way, Mr. Lewis. Your party is waiting. - Stop fidgeting
- Mr. Morse. - Yes, Mr. Lewis. I'm Jim Morse
This fireball is my grandson, David
Well, I don't know about the fireball part, but grandson is true enough
I'm pleased to meet you both. This is a friend of mine, Vivian Ward
- Hi. I'm really glad to meet you. - Mr. Morse. David
Please, sit
[Softly] Excuse me
- Where are you going? - I'm going to the ladies' room
- Upstairs, to the right. - Okay. Excuse me
- Shall I order for you? - Yeah
[Exhales] Please do so. Thank you
I'll do that
Mr. Lewis, my grandfather believes the men who create a company��
- should control its destiny. - Where's the salad?
Uh, the salad comes at the end of the meal
That's the fork I knew
[David] Let me, uh, put it another way
Between your public statements and the rumors flying around on this thing
we find it very hard to figure out what your real intentions are
I don't know about you, but I've never been able to figure which goes with what!
[Morse, Vivian Laugh]
You know, there was a time when we built ships the size of cities
- Men like my grandfather made this country. - Who ordered this?
[Waiter] The gentleman did, ma'am. Bon appetite
These are escargot. It's French for snails. It's a delicacy
Try it. David?
Mr. Lewis, if you were to get control�� and I don't think you will�� but if you did
what do you plan to do with the company?
Break it up and sell off the pieces
I'm sure you'll understand I'm not thrilled at the idea��
of your turning 40 years of my work into your garage sale
At the price I'm paying for this stock, Mr. Morse, you are going to be a very rich man
I'm rich enough. I just want to head my shipyard
Slippery little suckers
It happens all the time
I met your father. What's his name?
- Carter. - Yeah. Carter. Carter Lewis
He's not quite the bastard everybody says he is
- No, I have the franchise on that. - Does that make him proud?
I doubt it. It doesn't really matter now. He passed away
Oh, I hadn't heard. I'm sorry
I'm sorry too
Mr. Morse, you asked for this meeting. What can I do for you?
- Leave my company alone. - I can't do that. I own ten million shares
- I'll buy your stock back. - You don't have the money
We will; we're getting a contract to build ten destroyers
There will be no contract. The contract is now buried in Appropriations Committee
- And it will remain there. - And how the hell did you pull something like that?
You got dirty politicians in your pockets now or something?
[Morse] Easy, easy, calm down. Calm down, David
- Mr. Lewis plays hardball. - Yes, yes, I do
I've heard enough of this. Vivian, it was a great pleasure to meet you
I'm sorry, Grandfather. I've gotta get some air. Mr. Lewis
I'd better join my grandson. You two enjoy your dinner
I'm sure it'll be delicious. Good luck, miss
Watch out, Lewis. I'm gonna tear you apart
I look forward to it, sir
Edward?
Edward, you said you never come out here
Well, I'm only halfway out
Didn't say much in the car on the way home
You thinkin' about dinner? I was a maniac
I mean, the business was good, I think. You know?
He's in trouble. You want his company
He doesn't want to let it go
Thanks for the recap
The problem is, I think you liked Mr. Morse
I'd like for you to get down from there; you're making me very nervous
It's making you nervous? What if I just leaned back a little bit like this?
Would you�� Would you rescue me if I fell?
Vivian, I'm serious. Come�� I'm not looking
It's really high. Look, no hands, no hands! Okay, all right. I'm sorry
[Sighs]
The truth is, it really is totally irrelevant whether I like this man or not
I will not let myself become emotionally involved in business
I know. Kit's always saying to me
��Don't get emotional when you turn tricks.��
That's why no kissing. It's too personal
It's like what you're saying: You stay numb, you don't get involved
When I'm with a guy, I'm like a robot. I just do it
I mean�� except with you
Oh, of course, not with me
You and I are such similar creatures, Vivian
We both screw people for money
I was sorry to hear about your dad
- When did he die? - Last month
Do you miss him?
I hadn't spoken to him in fourteen and a half years
I wasn't there when he died
- Do you want to talk about this? - No
Well, I tell you what, 'cause I got an idea
Let's watch old movies all night. We'll just veg out in front of the TV
- ��Veg out��? - Yeah. Be still like vegetables. Lay like broccoli
Look, I'll tell you what. I'll be back. We'll do broccoli tomorrow
- Where are you going? - I'm going downstairs for a while
Did you say marriage license?
Now, don't change the subject, just give me the stamp
Oh, I love you, Adam, Alex, Peter, Brian, whatever your name is
Oh, I love you
[Sighs]
Hi, uh, I'm in the penthouse. The guy that was here
Mr. Lewis, have you seen him down there anywhere?
�ӡ� [Piano In Distance]
[Vivian Applauding]
Thank you. Thank you very much
I didn't know you played
I only play for strangers
I was gettin' lonely upstairs all by myself
Gentlemen, would you mind leaving us, please?
Thank you
People always do what you tell them to do?
�ӡ� [Keys Pound]
[Sighs Deeply]
[Inhales]
I guess so
�ӡ� [Pounds]
Wake up. Time to shop
Now, if you have any trouble using this card, have them call the hotel
All right?
[Exhales] More shopping Mm-hmm
lt Wasn't as much fun as I thought it was gonna be. - Why not?
They were mean to me
Mean to you?
People are looking at me
They're not looking at you; they're looking at me
The stores are not nice to people. I don't like it
Stores are never nice to people; they're nice to credit cards
Okay, stop fidgeting. Get rid of your gum
[Spits]
I don't believe you did that
[Edward Clears Throat]
- Yes. - I am Mr. Hollister, the manager. May I help you?
- Edward Lewis. - Ah, yes, sir
- You see this young lady over here. - Yes
- Do you have anything in this shop as beautiful as she is? - Oh, yes
Oh, no! No, no, no, I'm saying we have many things as beautiful as she would want them to be
That's the point I was getting at, and I think we can all agree with that
- That's why when you came in�� - Excuse me. We're gonna need a few more people helping us
I'll tell you why. We're going to be spending an obscene amount of money in here
So we're going to need a lot more help sucking up to us
That's what we really like. You understand that
Sir, you're in the right store and the right city for that matter
Anything you see here, we can do, by the way. Get ready to have some fun
Mary Pat, Mary Kate, Mary Francis, Tovah, let's see it!
- Come on. Bring it out, girls. - Oh, this is absolutely divine
- Excuse me, sir, uh, - Yeah?
Exactly how obscene an amount of money were you talking about?
Just profane or really offensive?
- Really offensive. - I like him so much!
Mr. Lewis, sir. Mr. Lewis, how's it going so far? Pretty well, I think
I think we need some major sucking up
Very well, sir. You're not only handsome, but a powerful man
I could see the second you walked in here, you were someone to reckon with��
- Hollister. - Yes, sir
Not me. Her
I'm sorry, sir. I'm sorry
How we doing, ladies?
Oh, Edward, Edward. Where the hell are you?
The word's all over the street. Morse is gonna raise your offer, pal
He's countering? God, he is a tough old bird
He knows the navy contracts are stalled. Where's he gonna get the money?
I don't know. He, uh�� I think he's throwin' in with the employees
He still needs someone to underwrite the paper
- Find out who it is. - Yeah, okay. You got it
You're on your own. I have to go back to work. You look great!
- She has my card. - And we'll help her use it, sir
�� Pretty woman walking down the street ��
�� Pretty woman the kind I like to meet ��
�� Pretty woman ��
�� I don't believe you You're not the truth ��
�� No one could look as good as you Mercy ��
�ӡ� [Growls, Continues]
- Edward would love that tie. - Would you give her the tie?
- The tie? - Take off the tie. Give her the tie
- He wants to do this, by the way. - He would go crazy about this tie
Who ordered pizza?
�� Pretty woman, stop a while ��
�� Pretty woman, talk a while ��
�� Pretty woman give your smile to me ��
�� Pretty woman Yeah, yeah, yeah ��
�� Pretty woman, look my way ��

- May I help you? - No, thank you. Hi
- Hello. - Do you remember me?
- No, I'm sorry. - I was in here yesterday. You wouldn't wait on me
- Oh. - You work on commission, right?
Uh, yes
Big mistake. Big. Huge!
I have to go shopping now
�� Pretty woman don't walk on by ��
�� Pretty woman don't make me cry ��

- [Men] Mister Lewis. - Gentlemen
Fellas, let's finish this up this afternoon, huh?
Jake, set something up with Blair. Around 2:00, 2:30 would be good
You were right about Morse. He mortgaged everything he owns, right down to his underwear
to secure a loan from the bank
And it's not just any bank. Plymouth Trust, huh?
- Hmm. - So, it goes without saying��
that your business means a lot more to them than our friend, Mr. Morse
All you gotta do is call the bank
Yeah
Edward, excuse me for saying this, but what the hell is wrong with you this week?
Are you givin' Morse a chance to get away?
You know what I used to love when I was a kid, Phil?
[Sighs] What?
Blocks
Building blocks. Erector sets
So, I liked Monopoly. Boardwalk, Park Place. Wh-What's the point?
We don't build anything, Phil. We don't make anything
We make money, Edward
We worked for a year on this deal. It's what you said you wanted
I'm handing it to you
Morse's jugular is exposed. It's time for the kill
Let's finish this
Call the bank!
[Clicks]
�ӡ� [Easy Listening]
[Door Opens, Closes]
How was your day, dear?
Nice tie
I got it for you
Well, my mother was a music teacher��
and married my father, whose family was extremely wealthy
Then he divorced my mother to be with another woman
And he took his money with him
And then she died
I was very angry with him
It cost me $10,000 in therapy to say that sentence
I was very angry with him
I do it very well, don't I? I'll say it again. I was very angry with him
Hello, my name is Mr. Lewis. I'm very angry with my father
I would've been angry at the $10,000
My father was president of the third company I ever took over
I bought it. I sold it off piece by piece
- What'd the shrink say? - He said I was cured
Well, so you got even. That must've made you happy
Did I mention my leg is 44 inches from hip to toe
so, basically, we're talkin' about 88 inches of therapy��
wrapped around you for the bargain price of��
[Together] $3,000
- Yeah. - [Air Horn Blows]
[Announcer On P.A.] Ebersol of the Falcons passes to Kennan
This is Bill Fricker with Gwen Olsen giving you play-by-play��
- of this marvelous charity event. - Watch where you're walking
If you step in something, we're not going back in the car
Not too near the tree. I don't like the ants. Hello. Have you seen Edward anywhere?
- What if someone recognizes me? - Not likely. They don't spend too much time on Hollywood Blvd
- You did. - Come on. Let go. Let go
All right. You look great. You look like a lady
You're gonna have a wonderful time
Okay. Don't fidget and smile
[Announcer On P.A.] Humboldt's coming around to this side
Toquenee is on Kennan. Penalty on that play
This is Gwen and Gretchen, the infamous Olsen sisters
who have made marrying well an art form
- Edward. - Be back in just a second. Hold on
So, you're the flavor of the month. Hmm
Uh, she's just being testy. Edward's our most eligible bachelor
Everybody is trying to land him
Well, I'm not trying to land him. I'm just using him for sex
Oh, yes
- Well done. - Well done. Whoo, whoo, whoo!
Tell me again why we're here
- Business. - Business mingling?
- Yeah. - [Air Horn Blows]
[Announcer On P.A.] That's the chukker, ladies and gentlemen
Falcons, seven. Gems, four
- Excuse me. Edward! Edward. Over here. - Phil
- Ah, good to see you. - You too
I want you to meet a new friend of mine, Vivian Ward
Well, hi. Philip Stuckey, Vivian. This is my wife, Elizabeth
It's always a pleasure meeting one of Edward's girls
Oh, my God! It's Tate Whitley Wallington
Tate! It's me, Elizabeth, from Workout World
Sort of an aerobics queen. Feel the burns
Well, let me get you something to drink. Vivian, why don't you start with that. Okay?
I'll be right back. Did you notice Senator Adams is here?
Mm-hmm. I asked him
That is why I have pledged my eternal love to you. Mmm!
Real genuine guy. Who is he?
He's my lawyer. He's all right
You could freeze ice on his wife's ass
Maybe we'll try that later
- Are these people your friends? - I spend time with them, yeah
- Well, no wonder. - No wonder what?
No wonder why you came looking for me
And I do need some help from you ladies and gentlemen in the audience
We need you to help replace some of the divots out here on the grass
- So come on out now. - [Announcer] Come on! Come on, folks
You heard her. The stomping of the divots
This is a time-honored tradition, ladies and gentlemen
As old as the game of polo itself. Kings and queens used to do this
She's sweet, Edward
Wherever did you find her?
976-BABE
[Announcer On P.A.] Only one word of advice: Avoid the steaming divot!
[Laughing]
No, it's all part of the game of polo
You get to have your shoes polished by a member of the club
I think I got something in the car that will buff that up
Thank you
- Vivian, hi. David Morse. - Excuse me
- David. - How are ya?
- I'm okay. - I thought that was you. I like this hat
- It's new. - What are you looking at?
- Come meet my horse, Vivian. - Well, Edward's waiting for me
- He's right here. - Okay, I'll�� Just for a second, though
I didn't know you were playing today
Uh, I was asking for directions. There she was
Oh, so you just ran into her? That's great. Jesus
So anyway, what does she do? Does she work?
- She's in sales. - Sales? That's terrific. That's good
What does she sell?
Why do you want to know?
Just hear me out on this. I've known you a long time
I see some differences in you this week, like the tie, and, uh��
I'm wondering if maybe this girl isn't the difference
especially when I see her talking to David Morse
- I introduced them at dinner the other night. - So what?
Now they're best friends? This girl appears out of nowhere
Now she's talking to a guy whose company we're trying to buy. Convenient, don't you think?
- Don't be ridiculous. - How do you know that this girl��
hasn't attached herself to you because she's bringing information back to Morse?
- This happens! Industrial espionage�� - Phil, Phil, Phil!
- Phil, listen to me. - What?
- She's not a spy. She is a hooker. - Oh!
She is a hooker
I picked her up on Hollywood Boulevard
In your car
- [Laughs] Oh, you are�� - Yes, yes
Oh, man!
[Snorts] You're the only millionaire I ever heard of��
who goes looking for a bargain basement streetwalker, you know?
- Edward! - I'm sorry I told you
Senator. Senator Adams, I'm pleased you could make it
Thank you. I hope the information I gave you was helpful
Oh, absolutely, yes, and thank you for it. There's no change, is there?
No, it's still bogged down
- Having a nice time, Vivian? - Yeah, I'm having a great time
Must be quite a change from Hollywood Boulevard, hmm?
What?
Yeah, Edward told me
But don't worry; you're secret is safe with me
Listen, maybe, uh, you and I could get together sometime��
after Edward leaves
Yeah, sure. Why not?
We'll just have to do that, hmm?
[Elizabeth] Philip
[Gwen On P.A.] Hi, tailgaters
I'd like to mention a couple of our silver sponsors:
Jacobs Distributors, Norrell Saddlery
and we'd like to give a great big thanks to our platinum sponsor
- Edward Lewis Enterprises. - [Air Horn Blows]
[Announcer On P.A.] The ball is in for chukker number four
- You all right? - I'm fine
Fine. That's good. Seven ��fines�� since we left the match
Could I have another word, please?
Asshole! There's a word
I think I liked ��fine�� better
You know what? Just tell me one thing: Why did you make me get all dressed up?
Well, for one thing, the clothing was appropriate
No, what I mean is, if you were gonna tell everybody I'm a hooker
- why didn't you just let me wear my own clothes, okay? - I did not�� I did not��
I mean, in my own clothes, when someone like that guy Stuckey comes up to me
I can handle it; I'm prepared
I'm very sorry. I'm not happy with Stuckey at all for saying or doing that
But he is my attorney. I've known him for ten years
He thought you were some kind of industrial spy. The guy's paranoid
Are you my pimp now? You think you can pass me around to your friends?
- I'm not some little toy! - Look, I know you're not my toy. Vivian!
Vivian, I'm speaking to you. Come back here!
I hate to point out the obvious, but you are, in fact, a hooker!
- And you are my employee! - Look, you don't own me. I decide, okay?
I say who; I say when; l�� I say who��
I refuse to spend the next three days fighting with you. I said I was sorry. I meant it
That's the end of it!
I'm sorry I ever met you
I'm sorry I ever got into your stupid car!
As if you had so many more appealing options
I've never had anyone make me feel as cheap as you did today
Somehow, I find that very hard to believe
Where are you going?
I want my money. I want to get out of here
Come on!

I'm sorry
I wasn't prepared to answer questions about us
It was stupid and cruel
I didn't mean it
I don't want you to go
- Will you stay the week? - Why?
I saw you talking to David Morse; I didn't like it
We were just talking
[Chuckles]
- I didn't like it. - [Elevator Bell Dings]
Down?
You hurt me
Yes
Don't do it again
First guy I ever loved was a total nothing
Second was worse
My mom called me a bum magnet
If there was a bum within a 50-mile radius, I was completely attracted to him
That's how I ended up here. I followed bum number three
Oh
So here I was: No money, no friends, no bum
[Chuckles] And you chose this as your profession?
I worked at a couple fast food places
parked cars at wrestling
And I couldn't make the rent. I was too ashamed to go home
That's when I met Kit
She was a hooker and made it sound so great
So one day I did it
I cried the whole time
But then I got some regulars and, you know��
It's not like anybody plans this; it's not your childhood dream
You could be so much more
People put you down enough, you start to believe it
I think you are a very bright, very special woman
The bad stuff is easier to believe
You ever notice that?
- Tell him I'll call him on Monday. - Yes, sir
- Where you going? Did he sign these? - No, he said he had to leave
- Edward, you can't disappear now. We're in this too deep. - Don't panic, Philip
Morse isn't going anywhere. I'll be back here in the morning
- Did you send the tickets to the hotel? Thank you. - Yes, sir
- Where are you going? - I have a date
With the hooker?
Be careful, Philip
- Do I look okay? - Mmm
- Mmm? - Something's missing
Well, nothin' else is gonna fit into this dress. I'll tell ya that
Well, maybe something in this box
I don't want you to get too excited. This is only on loan
[Laughs Quietly]
Oh! [Laughs]
They really let you borrow this from the jewelry store?
I'm a very good customer
If you were gonna buy this, how much would it cost?
- Quarter of a million. - [Nervous Laugh]
A quarter of a million dollars?
So, where we goin'?
It's a surprise
If I forget to tell you later, I had a really good time tonight
Thank you
When you're not fidgeting, you look very beautiful��
- and very tall. - [Laughs]
�� You're a dream coming true ��
�� I can't believe how I have ��
�� Fallen for you ��
�� You are the one ��
�� Who's led me to the sun ��
- �� How could I know �� - You don't want to go to San Francisco in a limousine?
- �� I was lost without you �� - I've never been on a plane before
�� And I want to tell you ��
�� You control my brain ��
�� And you should know that ��
�� You are life in my veins �ӡ�
[Pilot] Well, it should be a pretty smooth flight, Mr. Lewis
The weather is clear all the way up to San Francisco
We should be there in about 50 minutes
- We're late. - No, it's all right
- Opening night never starts on time. - Okay
- Program, sir. - Thank you
How nice to meet you
�ӡ� [Orchestra Warming Up]
Right this way, Mr. Lewis, sir
- Doris, how nice to see you. - How are you?
- Sir. Wonderful news. Congratulations. - Good evening, Edward
- Hey, come here. You gotta look at this. - It's all right
- I've already seen it. - If you're afraid of heights, why do you get seats up here?
Because they're the best
- Is there anything else, sir? - No, thank you
- The glasses are there. Enjoy the opera. - Oh!
- So, you said this is in Italian. - Uh-huh
So how am I gonna know what they're singin'? These are broken
- Mine are broken. - No, no. That's okay It's all right
- Oh. - You'll know. Believe me, you'll understand
The music's very powerful
There's a band!
People's reactions to opera the first time they see it is very dramatic
They either love it or they hate it
If they love it, they will always love it
If they don't, they may learn to appreciate it
but it will never become part of their soul
- Mmm. - �ӡ� [Orchestra: ��Overture�� To La Traviata]
�ӡ� [Act l: Love Duet Sung In Italian]
�ӡ� [Act Il: Soprano Solo]
�ӡ� [Final Scene: Soprano Solo]
[Applause, Bravos]
- Did you enjoy the opera, dear? - Oh, it was so good, I almost peed in my pants
What?
She said she liked it better than Pirates of Penzance
- Oh! - Yes
Good-bye now
- [Edward] No, don't touch�� - I moved the queen. I like the queen
- You can't move the queen. - [Vivian Laughs]
Did you really do that?
Why don't we finish this tomorrow? It's really late, and I have to work
Why don't you not go to work tomorrow. Take the day off
- Me, not work? - Yeah
I do own the company
Here are the storage reports you wanted, and Mr. Lewis called
- What'd he say? - He said he's taking the day off
- He's taking the day off? - That's what he said
I'm starving. There's a snap dog vendor over there. Do you have any money?
I have money. I don't know what a snap dog is, but I have money
Well, I'm gonna give, um�� you'll buy a snap dog; we'll cop a squat under a tree somewhere
- Cop a what? - Cop a squat
All right, read the first two pages
Okay
Mmm
I was talking to someone
He sleeps
[Gasps]
I love you
What are you thinkin' about sittin' here all by yourself?
The fact that this will be our last night together, and you'll finally be rid of me
[Sighs] Well, you've been pretty tough to take
My business is almost over, so I'll be going back to New York
I'd really like to see you again
- You would? - Yes
Yes, I would, so I've arranged for you to have an apartment, to have a car
a wide variety of stores guaranteed to suck up to you anytime you want to go shopping
- Everything's done. - [Exhales] What else?
You gonna leave some money by the bed when you pass through town?
Vivian, it really wouldn't be like that
How would it be?
- Well, for one thing, it would get you off the streets. - That's just geography
[Car Horn Honks]
[Sighs] Vivian, what is it you want?
What do you see happening between us?
I don't know
When I was a little girl
my mama used to lock me in the attic when I was bad, which was pretty often
And I would�� I would pretend I was a princess��
trapped in a tower by a wicked queen
And then suddenly this knight��
on a white horse with these colors flying would come charging up and draw his sword
And I would wave
And he would climb up the tower and rescue me
But never in all the time��
that I had this dream did the knight say to me
��Come on, baby, I'll put you up in a great condo.��
[Phone Ringing]
- Yes. - I had to call
I just got off the phone with James Morse. Get this
- He wants to meet with you today. - What about?
He wouldn't say. Edward, I think we got him. His nuts are on the block
We got him! [Laughing]
Look, if he's really caving in, I want to get him to commit his stocks to us this afternoon
No, it's no good. If he's really caving in, I don't want to wait 'til this afternoon
Have Morse meet me downtown this morning. Good-bye
I have to go now
but I want you to understand��
I heard everything you said
This is all I'm capable of right now
It's a very big step for me
I know. It's a really good offer for a girl like me
I've never treated you like a prostitute
You just did
It's Barnard Thompson here, Miss Vivian
Could you come down to the front desk? There's someone here who wants to speak to you
- She says her name is Miss De Luca�� - Let me talk to her
Let me�� Let me just talk to her
Yo, Viv, babe. Would you come down here? The sphincter police won't let me through
- Okay. She's on her way. - Fine
- Mr. Thompson. - Yes
The window washer is refusing to come down
It's a Saturday. Wait here, please
- Watch her. - Yes, sir
[Exhales]
Fifty bucks, Grandpa. For 75, the wife can watch
[Laughs]
[Vivian] Listen, I've been calling you
Yeah, I know. They told me at the Banana you were lookin' for me
You were supposed to come by Tuesday. I left the money at the desk
- I was hidin' from Carlos. - Well, if you picked up the money
- you wouldn't have to hide. - I was busy. I had a life. Nino got beat up
We had to visit him in the hospital, Rachel got arrested. It was a mess
Anyway, I got the money. Thank you very much for saving my ass. Now Carlos can get off of it
You know, he was talkin' about you last night
He would bust somethin' if he saw you in this outfit
I was afraid to hug you up there. I might wrinkle you!
- You look really good. No, something in the shade. - Over there
You clean up real nice
You sure don't fit in down on the Boulevard lookin' like you do, not that you ever did
Well, thanks, but it's easy to clean up when you got money
Yeah
- So, when does he leave? - Tomorrow
- You get to keep the clothes? - Yeah
Edward asked me if I wanted to see him again
But I think, I think definitely no. It's just another week, right?
- ��Definitely no.�� - Yeah
Oh, no
What?
- I know this weepy look on your face. - Oh, no, you don't!
- You fell in love with him. - No. Kit, please. Stop it
- You've fallen in love with him? - Kit!
- Did you kiss him? On the mouth? - Uh, yeah, I did
- You kissed him on the mouth? - I did. It was nice
You fall in love with him, and you kiss him on the mouth. Did I not teach you anything?
Look, I'm not stupid, okay? I'm�� I'm not in love with him
I just�� I like him
You like him?
- Yeah. - You definitely like him
Well, he's not a bum. He's a rich, classy guy
- Who's gonna break my heart, right? - Oh, no. Come on
You don't know that. Hey, he asked you, right?
Maybe you guys could, like, um, you know, get a house together
Like, buy some diamonds and a horse. I don't know
Anyway, it could work. It happens
When does it happen, Kit?
When does it really happen? Who does it really work out for?
Did it work out for Skinny Marie or Rachel? No!
Those were very specific cases of crackheads
I just wanna know who it works out for
You give me one example of somebody that we know that it happened for
- Name someone? - Yeah, one person that it worked out for
- You want me to give you a name or something. - Yeah
Oh, God, the pressure of a name
[Sighs]
Cinder-fuckin'-rella
Mr. Morse, you said this morning you wished to speak to Mr. Lewis
Mr. Lewis is now listening
I've reconsidered my position on your acquisition offer��
on one condition
I'm not so concerned about me, but the people who are working for me
It's not a problem. They'll be taken care of
Well, then, gentlemen. If we could address ourselves to the contracts in front of you
- If you look at�� - Excuse me, Phil
[Inhales] Gentlemen, I'd like to speak to Mr. Morse alone
Thank you
All right, gentlemen, you heard the man. Please wait outside
You too, Phil
[Chuckles Nervously] What do you mean?
I mean I would like to speak to Mr. Morse alone
- Why does he get to stay? - Please, please
- I'll be right outside. - Good
- Is that better? - It's all right
- Would you like a cup of coffee? - Black
[Exhales] Mr. Morse
my interests in your company have changed
What is it you're after now, Mr. Lewis?
Well, I no longer wish to buy your company and take it apart
But I don't want anyone else to, either
And it is still extremely vulnerable
So I find myself�� in unfamiliar territory
I wanna help you
Why?
Mr. Morse, I think we can do something very special with your company
What about our Navy contracts?
Ah, they weren't dead. Just delayed. I�� bluffed a little bit
- [Chuckles] You're very good at it. - Thank you very much
It's my job. [Chuckles]
I think we can leave the details up to the others
I find this hard to say without sounding condescending, but��
I'm proud of you
Thank you
I think we can let in the other suits now
- [Door Opens] - Let's continue the meeting
Come in, gentlemen. Sit down
Edward, please, what was this all about? Hmm?
It's all yours, Phil. Finish it up
Hold it. Hold it. These aren't signed!
Could someone please tell me what the fuck is going on here?
[Morse] Mr. Lewis and I are going to build ships together
Great big ships
You know, I think I'm gonna go for a walk
- Just stay here for a while. I'll be back. - Yes, sir, Mr. Lewis
[Door Bell Chimes]
Well, well. Hello again. I'm looking for Edward
Edward's not here. I thought he was with you
No. Uh, Edward is definitely not with me
[Chuckles]
No, if Edward were with me��
When. Actually, when�� Edward was with me
he didn't blow off billion dollar deals!
I think that, uh, Edward's with you. That's what I think
- Mind if I have a drink? - No
No, thank you
Well, I'll just wait
Uh, Edward will be back soon. Any minute, he'll be home
You know, [Chuckles]
This is not home
This is, uh, a hotel room
And, uh, you are not��
the little woman. [Snickers]
You're a hooker
Maybe you're a very good hooker, you know?
Maybe if I do you, then I wouldn't care about losing millions of dollars
Because I have to be very honest with you
Right now, Vivian, right now I really do care. I really do
And right now I am really pissed, you know?
Right now I am just freaking out
So maybe if I screw you, huh
and take you to the opera, then I could be a happy guy, just like Edward
- Hey, get off me! - [Grunts] Hey, hey! Goddamn it!
- Ow! - Ow!
- Come on! Come on! I'll pay for it. - Get off me!
- How much is it? Twenty bucks, thirty bucks? - Get off me! Get off me!
- Fifty? You a $50 whore, Vivian? - What are you doing?
- Get off! - Stop. I don't want to hurt you! Stop it!
You already did, Edward!
- Out. Out of here. - All right, all right
Look, she's a whore, man. She's a goddamn�� Aah!
- Aah! Damn. - Shit. Goddamn!
- I think you broke my nose. - Get outta here
What is wrong with you? Come on, Edward! I gave you ten years!
- I devoted my whole life to you! - That's bullshit
This is such bullshit! It's the kill you love, not me!
I made you a very rich man doing exactly what you loved
Now get outta here!
Get out!
Why do guys always know how to hit a woman right across the cheek?
Wham! And it feels like your eye is gonna explode
What do they do? Do they pull you aside in high school and show you how to do this?
Is that�� Ow
Not all guys hit
I heard about what you did with Morse
- That was a business decision. - It was good
It felt good
I think this is okay
I gotta get going
Yes, I noticed you're packed
Why are you leaving now?
Edward, there'll always be some guy, even some friend of yours
thinkin' he can treat me like Stuckey
thinking that it's allowed
What are you gonna do? You gonna beat up everybody?
That's not why you're leaving
Look, you made me a really nice offer
And a few months ago, no problem
But now everything is different, and you've changed that
And you can't change back
I want more
I know about wanting more
I invented the concept
The question is how much more
I want the fairy tale
Impossible relationships
My special gift is impossible relationships
- Thank you. - You're welcome
If you ever need anything�� dental floss, whatever�� you give me a call
[Both Chuckle]
I had a good time
Me too
Do you want me to get you a bellboy?
- No, I got it. - I'll carry this
Thanks
Stay. Stay the night with me
And not because I'm paying you, but because you want to
- I can't. - [Sighs]
Good-bye
I think you have a lot of special gifts
Mmm
- I didn't do it, sir. - No, no. I didn't say that
I want you to call maintenance and have them deal with this. You must delegate authority
- Yes, sir. - Hi, Barney
Miss Vivian. Thank you
I wanted to say good-bye
Well, then, I gather you're not accompanying Mr. Lewis to New York
Come on, Barney. You and me live in the real world�� most of the time
Have you arranged for transportation?
- I'm gonna call a cab. - Allow me
- Darryl. - Yes, sir
Please take Miss Vivian anywhere she wishes to go
Yes, sir
It's been a pleasure knowing you
Come and visit us again sometime
Stay cool
�� Lay a whisper ��
�� On my pillow ��
�� Leave the winter ��
�� On the ground ��
�� I wake up lonely ��
�� The stare of silence ��
�� In the bedroom ��
�� And all around ��
�� Touch me now ��
�� I close my eyes ��
�� And dream away ��
�� It must have been love ��
�� But it's over now ��
�� It must have been good ��
�� But I lost it somehow ��
�� It must have been love ��
�� But it's over now ��
�� From the moment we touched ��
�� 'Til the time had run out �ӡ�
[Thunder]
Is that everything, sir?
[Inhales] Yes. Yes, that's everything
- I'll meet you downstairs, sir. - Thank you
[Thunder]
[Chuckling] We look so dopey
San Francisco's not that great, you know
It's bad climate. It's foggy. It's unpredictable
I'll wear a sweater
What are you gonna do there?
Get a job. Finish high school
I got things I can do. I used to make pretty good grades in high school
Yeah, I could see that about you. I could see that
Sure you won't come with me?
And leave all this? Not in a million. [Laughs]
Come here
Whoa. Whoa. What is this?
It's part of the Edward Lewis scholarship fund
We think you got a lot of potential, Kit De Luca
You do? You think I got potential?
Oh, yeah. Don't let anybody tell you different, okay?
Okay
Take care of you
No, I can't, I can't. It's your favorite
What time's your bus?
An hour
Yeah, well, I gotta split, 'cause good-byes make me crazy
- So, take care of you. - Whoa. [Chuckles]
[Kiss]
Mr. Lewis
You don't have any messages for me, do you?
No, I'm afraid not, sir
I'll need a car to the airport also
Of course. Darryl will take you wherever you need to go
- Darryl, the limousine out front, please? - Yes, sir
- Thank you, Darryl. - [Clears Throat]
- One last thing. If you could possibly�� - Yes
- Return this to Fred's for me, please. - Yes, of course
May I, sir?
[Chuckles] Of course, please
It must be difficult to let go of something so beautiful
You know, Darryl also drove Miss Vivian home yesterday
I'll take care of it
Thank you, Mr. Thompson
Your plane is leaving as scheduled, sir
and you should be back in New York on time
I'm gonna have to charge you a little more rent than Vivian��
because I've got this beauty course I'm looking into
I'm not gonna be there that much, you know?
'Cause you can't�� You just can't turn tricks forever
You gotta have a goal. Do you have a goal?
[Angel] Well, I always wanted to be in the Ice Capades
- Help you, love? - There you go. Thank you very much
So, you got a lot of stuff you gotta move in?
No, Carlos burned most of my stuff when I said I was movin' out

All right. I'm coming up

[Laughing]
So what happened after he climbed up the tower and rescued her?
She rescues him right back
[Man] Welcome to Hollywood. What's your dream?
Everybody comes here. This is Hollywood, the land of dreams
Some dreams come true, some don't. But keep on dreamin'
