Hello, Fulsom. How are you? That boy just work, work, work. Harmon, you don't know my son, Clifford, do you? He's one of the bright stars of our English Department. We've met. Not on time, but we've met. This morning, Father, remember? I-I'm so sorry about last night, Harmon, um, Mr. Rousehorn, for missing your train... It's in the past. It is totally forgotten and forgiven. Let's just say it's in the past. Oh, I just know this is gonna be a lively evening. Oh, Clifford, those girls are wonderful. You certainly have everything under control. Girls? (Thelma) I think I'll take the red caviar and put it in the round plate. You think they'll like that, honey? W-What's going on here? What's this? Do you have any idea how college faculty members [telephone rings] Eat on what we get paid? A free meal is like honey to a bear to these people. They'll wanna eat enough to hibernate on. They're animals. L... I mean, where'll we get enough Indian food to feed all of them? Swami Diavolo's finger-lickin' Hindu fried chicken, my friend Skridlow. The rest, as my people say, is up to karma. Don't worry, Cliffie. Jesus Christ, Karen, you said this was curry. This is not curry. Thelma, it will be. Will you calm down? Cliff, go upstairs and shower and change and put something on that's nice. Look a little GQ, would you? Monica, go outside and schmooze with the people. Right, sarge. Okay. Thelma, come here. I'm gonna show you. Take the o-olive and the pimento, make happy faces, okay? I like that. Good. Okay, here we go. Of course, that was in the Herbert Hoover Administration which in some ways is similar to what we have today. Oh, Margaret, I fail to see any similarity at all. She's just kidding, Henry. She's a real kidder. (Rousehorn) And I was reduced to my underwear. It's been downhill ever since. Oh, my goodness. You know, you look very tired, Mr. Rousehorn. You know, wealth and power have a way of robbing a man of his energies, don't they? That's very perceptive of you, Monica. Very perceptive. I hear we're having Indian food. I certainly hope so. Chapatis, huh? Well, l... I guess they've got a few of those laid in. Hello. Won't you excuse us, please. You happy, gorgeous flower? We're having a nice affair here. Hi, how are you? Nice to see you. It's fine, but I'm... I'm worried about the meal. Wait till you see the entertainment. What? Jasmine, enter. ##[Music playing] [Laughs] Cheers! [People exclaiming] Hi, Cliff. Oh, my! Oh. [Laughs] Uh, she's... she's... she's... She's terrific. Come on. Oh, you're ready. I'm ready. Okay, you set? Set. All right. Fire! [All scream] Be careful now. Hold on. There's a fire! Fire! Don't panic! What are you doing? Stop it. Clifford, what are you doing, man? Stop it, please. Cliff. Leave the arrangements to me, would you? This shit is so unique, they're gonna love it. They're gonna love this shit. I panicked, I'm sorry. I panicked. It's okay, it's okay. Just none of us eat it, all right. [All applauding] ##[Playing] Your dinner is now served. Come on, everybody. [All chattering] Hmm. Not bad. Beats fruit cup. Isn't it marvelous having so many educated talents all in one place? Is she Indian? I think so. Mahatma Gandhi never had it so good. Truly. Of course, he wasn't that big an eater anyway. [Both laughing] That's funny. Oh, sahib, follow me, brother. [Chattering] This is great. This is tremendous. They're buying it. You pulled it off. I can't thank you enough. Hey, no problem, Skridlow. Thank me in the car, okay? What do you mean in the car? We have to go in to town. What? Not me. I'm not going anywhere. I haven't slept in days, Diavolo. Listen, Cliff, we don't have much time, okay. The word is on the street. You have to make an appearance, because the Doctor goes public in about one hour. Are you crazy? No, man, you ------------------------------ Читайте также: - текст Друг на английском - текст Стиратель на английском - текст Алиса здесь больше не живет на английском - текст Ностальгия на английском - текст Хрусталёв, машину! на английском |
