My friends call me Otis.
Sometimes Tricky Otis.
:38:06
Otis was outraged when I told him
Van Cleve was gonna fire you.
:38:10
- He... He was?
- Mm-hm.
:38:13
- Don't I know you from somewhere?
- Otis.
:38:18
Saratoga. Last summer?
:38:22
Relax, relax. Come on, take
the weight off those lovely gams, huh?
:38:27
Look, I fixed you a drink.
:38:30
Sure, relax, Rita.
:38:33
When you look at me,
you look at a friend in disguise.
:38:39
Miami Beach?
:38:41
Haven't been to Florida
since I was a little girl.
:38:46
Well, here's to the time when we played
with dolls and dreamed of better things.
:38:52
Here, Otis.
:38:54
- A cosy place you've got here, Sidney.
- Make yourself at home.
:38:58
Nice, nice.
:39:01
And snug.
:39:02
Otis carries a lot
of weight with your boss.
:39:05
He's gonna tell him to ignore anything
:39:07
you-know-who says
about you-know what.
:39:10
- Right, Otis?
- Right.
:39:14
Why don't you two
talk it over until I get back?
:39:20
- Back?
- These business meetings.
:39:22
Always coming up
in the middle of the night.
:39:26
Hold on! You can drop me off
on your way.
:39:34
- Consternation reigns.
- Now, Otis...
:39:37
I hate JJ, but not that much
at this moment.
:39:40
Look, give me a chance, huh?
:39:47
- Don't you know who that man is?
- Yeah!
:39:50
- Otis Elwell, the columnist.
- Yeah.
:39:53
And he's a perfect stranger to me.
:39:55
So take five minutes.
Get acquainted.
:39:58
He's an important man.
He's lonely. Don't be dumb.
