It's opening night of the last depressing
week of L B Jefferies in a cast.
:17:04
Well, I haven't noticed
a big demand for tickets.
:17:08
That's because I bought out the house.
:17:11
You know, this cigarette box
has seen better days.
:17:15
I picked that up in Shanghai,
which has also seen better days.
:17:18
It's cracked and you never use it.
:17:20
It's too ornate.
:17:22
I'm sending up a plain, flat,
silver one with your initials.
:17:26
That's no way to spend
your hard-earned money.
:17:29
I wanted to.
:17:34
What would you think of
starting off with dinner at "21 "?
:17:36
You have, perhaps,
an ambulance downstairs?
:17:39
No, better than that: "21 ".
:17:47
Thank you for waiting, Carl.
The kitchen's right there on the left.
:17:50
I'll take the wine.
:17:55
- Good evening, Mr Jefferies.
- Carl.
:17:56
Just put everything
in the oven, Carl, on low.
:18:00
- Let's open the wine now.
- Alright.
:18:03
- It's a Montrachet.
- A great big glassful.
:18:06
There's a corkscrew right over there.
:18:09
Here, I'll do it.
:18:12
- Big enough?
- yeah, they're fine.
:18:15
I can't think of anything more
boring or tiresome
:18:17
Than what you've been through
and the last week must be the hardest.
:18:21
Alright. yeah, I want to get
this thing off and get moving.
:18:25
Well, I'm going to make this
a week you'll never forget.
:18:30
Fine, thanks.
:18:33
Just a minute, Carl.
:18:35
- This will take care of the taxi.
- Thank you, Miss Fremont.
:18:37
- Have a pleasant dinner, Mr Jefferies.
- Alright, Good night.
:18:42
Good night.
:18:45
What a day I've had.
:18:47
- Are you tired?
- Not a bit.
:18:49
I was all morning in a meeting,
:18:51
Then I had to dash to the Waldorf
for a quick drink with Madam Dufrene,
:18:54
Who's just over from Paris
with some spy reports.
:18:59
Then l had to go to "21" and have lunch
with the Harper's Bazaar people.
