Red.
:16:05
Well, as they say in the Olympics,
:16:07
it's not the winning, it's
the taking part that counts.

:16:11
- Are you going to marry her ?
- Oh, no, no, no. I just
want to live with her.

:16:15
- So what's stopping you ?
- Basically the firm of
Prurien and Pry, ltd.,

:16:19
Whom you and Marguerite
have seen fit to employ.

:16:22
Don't be so innocent.
:16:24
Those nicotine-stained private
detectives have been camping
outside Tea's for the last week.

:16:29
It was an insurance policy
to keep you from changing
your mind about the divorce.

:16:34
- How do you know I wasn't
having you watched, hmm ?
- Why not ?

:16:37
Afraid of what you might find out ?
Or didn't you think that was possible ?

:16:41
Now, don't start doing a fertility dance.
:16:42
Of course I knew they'd find you and
Marguerite rutting away like crazed weasels.

:16:46
But why should I pay good money
to have something confirmed
which I'd known for months ?

:16:52
- Black.
- Then if you knew, why didn't
you do something about it ?

:16:56
I had to assure myself that you and
Marguerite were going to be a fixture.

:16:59
You see, I want to lose the
dear girl for life, not just...

:17:03
a two-week Tindolini perm, set and touch-up.
:17:11
- Good shot.
- Yes, it was. Yellow.

:17:14
You see, you don't know her as well as
I do. You think you do, but you don't.

:17:17
If you fail her, by which I mean
cancelling the account at Harrod's...

:17:20
or shortchanging her on winters in Jamaica,
:17:23
She'll be back to me in a
jiffy, mewing for support.

:17:26
And, guilty wife or no, she
may be entitled to get it.

:17:30
- Green.
- Money isn't everything.

:17:33
And what if she is used to
luxury ? Whose fault is that ?

:17:36
It's not a fault if you can afford it.
:17:39
But can you ?
:17:43
Knowing you to be hard up-- brown--
:17:45
has she shown any signs
of mending her ways...

:17:48
in these last, idyllic three months ?
:17:52
Blue. When, for instance,
did she last turn down
Dom Perignon in favor of--

:17:57
no offense, mind you-- the
persuasive charms of Dago Red ?
