before I leave. . .
. . .and I'll put it in this. . .
. . .and hide it here,
right behind the pipe.
-Where're you going to be?
-At my regular card game.
Why don't you leave me your key?
My key implicates me.
Her key implicates no one.
It could've been lost or stolen.
In any case, she won't
be around to explain.
Why not make a copy of the key?
It's two loose ends,
the key and the locksmith.
This door is always bolted. She
won't notice, even if she checks it.
You'll be in the stairwell at 9:30.
By that time, Emily
will be taking her bath.
She will? How do you know?
Because that's what she does
on nights that I play cards.
Why not do it in the tub?
Because that'll look like
cold-blooded murder.
It has to appear that
she surprised the intruder.
All right?
This is a separate telephone line.
Exactly 1 0 p.m., I will call here.
Emily will answer the phone.
You will enter.
A tragic confrontation will ensue.
It should appear to be. . .
. . .stupid. . .
. . .and spur-of-the-moment.
I've always thought "bludgeon"
has a spur-of-the-moment sound.
Maybe you could use one of these.
Rifle the jewelry in the bedroom.
Disable the service entrance lock.
Make it look like it was jimmied.
Put the key back under the pipe,
then leave the way you came in.
And what happens
if the plan goes to hell?
It won't.
So when is this card game of yours?
-Tomorrow night.
-Tomorrow?
No fucking way!
A man with your rйsumй should
come up with an alibi in no time.
1 00 thousand.
A man with my rйsumй should
take the money and run.
Bet you 400 thousand more you don't.
Yes, I understand that.
But if we can't get numbers
on refugee density. . .
. . .then we can't position
the resources to deal with it.
I'll tell her to expect it
later today. Thank you.
That's not happiness to see me, is it?
Try surprise.
I had a hole in my schedule. . .
. . .and I thought lunch with my
beautiful wife would be indicated.
But I guess you have other plans.
-What makes you say that?
-You seem in such a hurry.
It's just errands.
Like shopping for a new wedding ring.
One of the settings felt loose. . .
. . .so I took it in.
It'll be ready tomorrow.
And what if there were no tomorrow?
What does that mean?
Wouldn't you regret not having
one last lunch with your husband?
Of course.
-Enjoy your meal.
-Thank you very much.
I must reply to Francesca about
this weekend. Want to do it?
All right, we'll go out--
I got to break this up.
Excuse me one minute.
Hey, it's David. Leave one.
I'll get back to you.
David?
He was waiting for me...
. . .to take me to lunch.
There was nothing I could do.
I can't do this anymore.
I've got to tell him tonight.
Hi, I'm here.
I'm really sorry.
It's okay.
He's never done that before.
Something's wrong. He knows.
No, he doesn't.
Don't let your mind
get away from you.
I cannot live like this anymore.
It's not fair to him.
I've got to tell him.
Tell him what, exactly?
Tell him everything, tonight.
We've waited this long.
Hold off another day. . .
...so we can figure it out together.
You know?
So I can help you.
I don't know.
I do.
I do know.
Honey, don 't panic.
Good night, Mr. Taylor.
I'm on my way.
Everything's prepared for you.
Give my best to Mrs. Taylor.
So how was the rest of your day?
Fairly brutal.
I'm sorry to hear about that.
I don't want you to go tonight.
What's wrong?
I'd like to talk to you.
It's too late.
They'll never get anybody to fill in.
Besides, I beat them last week.
They'll want their money back.
You scared me.
I just wanted to say goodbye.
I'll call you later.
I might go to Nick's for a burger.
If nobody's here, don't worry.
I won't,
but you might want to reconsider.
Why is that?
I had Janice make
one of her legendary roasts.
Really?
Thought we'd eat before the game.
Wish me luck.
Good luck.
$1 ,000 to you, George.
Fold.
-Call.
-Down and dirty.
Last one, gentlemen.
-Got to have more than that.
