I've always felt, if they were written up,
they might make good shows, or a series.
- Uh-huh.
- I wanted to get your opinion on the plot.
And if you think it's something
for your show, I'd like to write it.
- You write?
- I wrote a littIe when I was young.
- You know, nothing major, obviously.
- You kept it a secret if you wrote.
Well, I'd like to try. I'd like to try.
- I did work on some shows years ago.
- Wasn't that in the costume department?
Yeah, but, you know, at least
I did have some contact with the theatre.
Uh-huh. So what's your idea?
Because the truth is, I'm backed up today.
Oh. OK. Well, it's about two sisters
who were very close as kids.
And now that they're adults,
they've grown apart.
- Like you and your sister.
- Me?
Aren't you and Dorothy polite
but not so friendly?
Well, gee, I never even thought of that.
Let me stop you. We want
blood-and-guts stuff, not so subtle.
Oh, Well. I have another about
a young girl who wanted to be a nun.
No nuns. They want sexy, unscrupulous,
rich, melodramatic, but no nuns.
Listen, anything like that
occurs to you, we'll talk.
Give me a jingle and we'll go to Le Cirque.
OK. All right. Well, thank you.
- Is something burning in there?
- No.
No, it's OK.
- Come to sleep!
- Yeah. Soon.
- Alice.
- Who's that?
Who's there? Who is it?
Don't you remember?
Oh!
That voice...
Alice.
Alice Jansen.
Eddie? Is it Eddie?
Hi, sweetheart.
Is it you?
God, you're even more beautiful now.
lt's been almost 20 years.
Tell me I don't look so bad,
considering I'm dead.
No. Considering you're dead,
you look great.
See? Even if you had married me,
you'd have still been a widow.
Eddie, I felt terrible
when I heard about the crash.
But I wasn't surprised.
I always said you drove recklessly.
Ah!
You thought I did everything recklessly,
including making love.
Eddie... there were times
when I had real guilt feelings.
Oh, hey. I'm a big boy.
I'd been turned down before.
Not that I wasn't saddened.
But, I'll tell you,
that car crash was a total accident.
Boom! Not for a second
did I see that moving van.
I thought of you the other day.
I met an interesting man
who kind of reminded me of you.
Oh, no. Do I sense trouble in paradise?
No, no, no. Everything's fine here.
I'm very happy.
So tell me all about this guy
who reminds you of me.
Well, he's like you.
He's... irresponsible and temperamental.
- Yeah.
- But he...
He's cute, you know?
''Thou shalt not commit adultery. ''
That's not my line. I read it.
I'm not. I just met him.
A Steuben glass hippo.
I always wondered
who bought those things.
God, it's so good to see you, Alice.
- Whatever happened to your career?
- Oh, I don't know.
Now I was thinking I'd like to write.
You think I have that in me?
- Who are you talking to?
- Oh, I was...
I just saw you there
having a conversation.
- I was probably just thinking out loud.
- At this hour?
- Bottoms and no top. I could've called it.
- Quiet!
- Are you OK?
- I'm fine. I just had this idea for a story.
So I guess I was acting out all the parts.
- Alice, that's crazy.
- It's crazy.
I'm gonna get some sleep.
I'm gonna go to bed.
Me too. I got a long day. I'm gonna be
home late. It's my backgammon night.
- Is tonight backgammon?
- Sweetheart?
- Will you try to relax?
- I will. I'll try.
- You've been awful tense lately.
- Have I?
I know how to relax you, Alice.
I know all the good spots
and there are plenty of 'em.
See, there he is, right there.
I'd love to know what you think of him.
After all these years,
now she wants my opinion?
- Hi.
- Hi.
I... I'm sorry if I bothered you
by calling you at home.
- I was concerned.
- No, I'm... It's fine.
I must've seemed a little abrupt. I was
having a conversation with my husband.
It's OK. I understand.
I was disappointed when
you didn't show up at the zoo.
They have this very beautiful white bear
I wanted to show you.
With these great
