this place for very much longer.
What do you say we go out
and have one last good time?

- He's playing backgammon tonight.
l was there when he said so.
Let the nanny take care of the kids and
you and l'll go to the Moonlight Casino.
The MoonIight Casino
burned down ten years ago.
- Get your coat, Alice.
- Anyway, it's way out at the beach.
Get your coat and meet me on the terrace.
Mrs Tait?
Mrs Tait, are you gonna need me
for about an hour?
Mrs Tait?
Mrs Tait, did you go out?
Mrs Tait?

Remember that night?
Our last night together.
You told me it was all over.
I was just a kid.
The thought of Iife with you
seemed scary.
You do have some regrets?
I don't know.
Would you do it all the same way
if you had a second chance?
I don't know.
That's why it's important that
you find out how you feel about Joe.
I think of you often.

(Eddie) Sweetheart, l'm home.
l sold a picture.
(Alice) That's great. Which one?
- The nude of you.
- Oh, really?
Stop looking so grim.
You're beautiful without clothes.
How many women
have you made love to?
Enough. But you're the only one who
ever seriously thought of being a nun.
- (Alice) l can't help it!
- (coughing)
l never cooked a duck before.
- The whole place is black with smoke.
- l'm so sorry.
(Eddie) You know, l really love you.
- (Alice) You insulted my mother!
- She was a third-rate actress,...
..and she should keep
her infantile ideas on politics to herself.
She could've been a big star.
And she's smart. And she was right
not to understand your paintings.
And she was right about
you being a communist.
(Eddie) Let's have a child.
Even if you don't wanna get married.
Yeah, what would we live on?
You can't pay your bills now.
- (Eddie) Kiss me.
- l'm getting paint all over my dress.
Sh.
What's wrong?
l feel funny.
l feel very, very strange.
My God.
lt's the oddest sensation.
l feel like l'm fading.
l am fading.
lt's happening. Here it goes.
lt was great seeing you again.
You're still wonderful.
Did you get a prize?
- So how's the rehearsaI coming?
- Oh, fine.
- Great arrangement on "The Mooche".
- The Mooche?
- "Mooche." The EIIington number.
- Oh. "The Mooche." Yes.
I figured you'd know it.
You seem so knowIedgeabIe about jazz.
I'm not reaIIy, but I'd Iike to Iearn.
(cheering)
So... you're nothing reaIIy
Iike you were the other day.
- (Alice laughs)
- You were coming on so strong.
I know. I was just... I was so obnoxious.
I'm so embarrassed. I...
I guess it was to counteract my shyness
or something. I don't know.
So this is me. Do you feeI...
Are you disappointed?
- No, no.
- No?
- ActuaIIy, you scared me a IittIe.
- ReaIIy?
No, weII... But I sensed it wasn't you.
Yeah.
Look, can I ask you a question?
Sure.
What?
Are you happiIy married?
Or is that tactIess?
No. Yes. Yes, I...
Gosh, I've been married
aImost 16 years now.
16 years.
Oh. WeII, that... that's great.
Yeah.
No, reaIIy.
- WeII, a good marriage, it's a rare thing.
- Yeah.
Why did you get divorced?
WeII, my wife and I,
we were both too opinionated.
She's... very briIIiant.
Uh-huh. And attractive?
Yes.
- And very sexy.
- Uh-huh.
And when you're with her, do you...
..do you stiII have the urge to be with her?
- No.
- No?
No? You never have the urge to...
to grab her?
Like, you know, if the two of you
are in her office or something?
Or, I don't know, you know, just... throw
her down on the couch or something?
For oId times' sake?
God, you are interesting.
