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.
(Eddie laughs)
(* "I Remember You" by Jackie Gleason)
(Alice) See, there he is, right there.
I'd love to know what you think of him.
(Eddie) 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 ice-blue eyes
the exact colour of yours.
That is a good line. When was the last
time your husband used a line like that?
- Well, I...
- Give him some encouragement.
I... I'm... I'm sorry I didn't make it.
I would like a rain check.
Well, the Big Apple Circus is in town.
I'm gonna take my daughter tomorrow.
Come and bring your kids.
- I'm sure they'll love it.
- Oh, I think I...
You can't go to hell
for taking your kids to the circus.
But I guess I could shift things around.
Great. I'll look forward to it.
(Alice) Come on, you guys, go to sleep.
I read you three stories already.
Katie, you stay in bed now. Good night.
See you in the morning. Good night.
Good night, now.
Stay in bed.
Sweet dreams.
What am I doing?
You gotta see this thing through to find
out who he is, to find out who you are.
What am I getting myself into?
Alice, cheer up.
You know, I'm not gonna be
around this place for very much longer.
What do you say we go out
and have one last good time?
- I can't.
- He's playing backgammon tonight.
I was there when he said so. >
Let the nanny take care of the kids and
you and I'll go to the Moonlight Casino.
The Moonlight 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?
(* "Moonlight Becomes You"
by Jackie Gleason)
Remember that night?
Our last night together.
You told me it was all over.
I was just a kid.
The thought of life 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.
(* "Moonlight Becomes You"
by Jackie Gleason)
(Eddie) Sweetheart, I'm home.
I 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)
I never cooked a duck before.
- The whole place is black with smoke.
- I'm so sorry.
(Eddie) You know, I really love you.
