:16:03
Don't be ridic.
:16:04
Gloria, please...
:16:05
why imperil our friendship
with these loathsome abbreviations.
:16:10
I could make myself free for later on, if you want.
:16:13
No Gloria, I'm going away for the weekend.
Some other time.
:16:16
Any time.
:16:18
Just crazy about the back of your hair.
:16:28
Nat, weave me another.
:16:29
You'd better take it easy.
:16:31
Oh. Don't worry about me.
Just let me know when it's a quarter of six.
:16:35
Come on, Nat. Join me. Just one little jigger of dreams.
:16:39
No thanks.
:16:40
You don't approve of drinking?
:16:42
Not the way you drink.
:16:44
It shrinks my liver, doesn't it, Nat?
It pickles my kidNeys.
:16:48
Yes. But what does it do to my mind?
:16:51
It tosses the sandbags overboard
so the balloon can soar.
:16:55
Suddenly, I'm above the ordinary.
I'm competent, supremely competent.
:16:58
I'm walking a tightrope over Niagara Falls.
:17:00
I'm one of the great ones.
:17:02
I'm Michelangelo molding the beard of Moses.
:17:05
I'm Van Gogh, painting pure sunlight.
:17:07
I'm Horowitz, playing the Emperor Concerto.
:17:10
I'm John Barrymore before the movies got him by the throat.
:17:14
I'm Jesse James and his two brothers, all three of them.
:17:17
I'm W. Shakespeare.
:17:19
And out there it's not Third Avenue any longer.
It's the Nile, Nat.
:17:23
The Nile and down it moves the barge of Cleopatra.
:17:28
Come here.
:17:31
Purple the sails, and so perfumed
that the winds were love-sick with them.
:17:36
the oars were silver,
Which to the tune of flutes kept stroke...
:17:42
Maybe he's at Morandi's or Nat's bar...
:17:44
or that place on Forty-second street?
:17:46
What difference does it make?
:17:48
- You're not really going, Wick.
- I certainly am.
:17:51
- But you can't leave him alone. Not for four days.
- Yes I can.
:17:54
Oh. For heaven's sake, Wick.
If he's left alone, anything can happen!
:17:57
And I'll be tied up at the office every minute.
:17:59
All Saturday. All Sunday. I can't look out for him.
