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

:18:12

:18:17
We have talked about money.
:18:20
Often I've told her we spend too much.
:18:22
- She takes no notice ?
- No.
:18:26
Silvery laugh.
Coquettish turn of the head.
:18:29
Something like that.
:18:32
Well, it's to solve this little problem
that I've invited you here tonight.
:18:35
And this, as they say, is
where the plot thickens.
:18:39
What plot ?
:18:48
Whatever are you doing with
that cue in your hand ?
:18:51
I was waiting for you to miss.
:18:53
Foolish boy.
:18:57
Once upon a time, my dear Milo,

there was an Englishman called Andrew Wyke,
