Hepburn and Quinn star as two aging actors who had a brief but intense marriage in the 1940s, and are reunited decades later to find that issues between them are not resolved. The film makes references to Hepburn's real career and personality, for instance starring in a Western with John Wayne.

00:02:00He's just not used to your schedule.
00:02:03And morning comes again to the Bennett household.
00:02:06It's not my schedule.
00:02:07It's the schedule.
00:02:08You're there any right to get you to run in.
00:02:15Miss Bennett.
00:02:16Oh, you're alive.
00:02:18I'm fine.
00:02:19What's wrong with your foot?
00:02:21Just, uh, bumped it.
00:02:23If you can't navigate your own room, how can you expect to navigate the city streets?
00:02:29It was dark.
00:02:31Try the light switch.
00:02:34Well, lights, that's much better.
00:02:36I'll just, uh, I'll shower and I'll be right down.
00:02:40Half the day is already gone.
00:02:44Oh.
00:02:48And if you plan to keep this job, you will need a pair of pajamas.
00:02:53Oh, I, um, crime, crime, crime.
00:03:02That's all they write about anymore.
00:03:04Now, why?
00:03:05I ask you, why do I need to know that a woman in Wyoming shot her husband in cold blood?
00:03:13Well, it sells the papers, Miss Bennett.
00:03:15Oh.
00:03:16Something should be done about it.
00:03:17Maybe a letter to the editor expressing my disapproval.
00:03:22Well, that should do the trick.
00:03:25Hmm.
00:03:27Tabloid journalism.
00:03:29Useless information.
00:03:48Wilma, I just found this on a shelf in my closet.
00:03:51Is it real?
00:03:53It's like a game with us.
00:03:55I put them out, she hides them.
00:03:57There are a couple more around here somewhere.
00:03:58Never thought I'd be working for a movie star.
00:04:00A star?
00:04:01Oh, don't let her hear you say that.
00:04:04Marion Bennett was an actress.
00:04:06She took it very seriously.
00:04:07Before she retired out here, it was her life.
00:04:10Is that why she never married?
00:04:12It's none of my business.
00:04:14And none of yours, if you're smart.
00:04:16Um, where's Miss Bennett?
00:04:17Miss Bennett has been tending the garden while you've been sleeping the morning away.
00:04:21Kind of asked for these.
00:04:23Aren't they lovely?
00:04:24Well, are you ready at last?
00:04:27Ready for what?
00:04:28Ready for Tuesday.
00:04:31Bring the car around.
00:04:36Tuesday?
00:04:37Her life is built around rigid schedules.
00:04:40Laundry on Mondays, correspondence on Wednesdays, weekends at the beach house.
00:04:45You'll pick it up soon enough.
00:04:47Today is cross-country hiking.
00:04:48I'll leave it.
00:04:54Violent exercise.
00:04:56Straight up here.
00:04:57He's running down.
00:05:01Are you all right?
00:05:02Yes.
00:05:03No, it's just tough.
00:05:05It's just unexpected.
00:05:06It wasn't in the job description.
00:05:09There's a Christmas bonus mentioned in your job description.
00:05:13Do I get a Christmas bonus?
00:05:17Not necessarily, I meant we'll point out, but everything in life is not covered in an employment contract.
00:05:25I think we'll set up over there.
00:05:27My paintings seem to grow more abstract as the years go by.
00:05:44What do you think of art, Mr. Lannis?
00:05:47Do you know your monnaies from your mayonnaise?
00:05:50Well, I know that one of them painted water lilies.
00:05:54And the other one didn't.
00:05:56Yeah, that's right.
00:05:58So much to learn.
00:05:59So little time to learn it.
00:06:01Jimmy taught me that.
00:06:03Jimmy?
00:06:04My brother.
00:06:05My brother, Jimmy.
00:06:06Killed in one of the wars.
00:06:09They sent a box of his medals home.
00:06:13And that was that.
00:06:15Oh, I'm sorry.
00:06:16Oh, there's no need.
00:06:18You remind me of it.
00:06:19Something in their eyes.
00:06:22Oh?
00:06:22Well, is that why you hired me?
00:06:26Jimmy loved books.
00:06:28He was older than I, and he always read to me as a child.
00:06:31I've been told Treasure Island.
00:06:33Boys' books, they were called.
00:06:35Maybe that's the reason I grew up as such a tomboy.
00:06:39Climbing trees, playing ball.
00:06:40Oh, 9.15.
00:06:48Time to head back.
00:06:49You tell time by the sun?
00:06:52Haven't you heard?
00:06:54I'm a witch.
00:06:54Miss Bennett, I think someone is following her.
00:07:17Probably a fan.
00:07:19Once they picked up the sacred night, blood happens.
00:07:21Should I talk to her?
00:07:24No, no.
00:07:24No, no.
00:07:25It only encourages them to keep up the face.
00:07:27Okay, are you all set?
00:07:38Hurry now.
00:07:39We'll think we'll make our escape.
00:07:40Like I told you, every Tuesday morning, like what?
00:07:59We'll follow up.
00:08:05Spread ahead two blocks, then you go over and go down Lake.
00:08:10Not, not 3rd?
00:08:13Not 3rd, Lake.
00:08:15L-A-K-E, Lake.
00:08:23If I wanted to go down 3rd Avenue, I'd have said 3rd Avenue.
00:08:26I'd have said Lake, full speed ahead.
00:08:29Which way should I turn here?
00:08:31If you don't know where you're going, why?
00:08:33I'm doing my best, Miss Bennett.
00:08:35Don't be so disagreeable.
00:08:45Kids, hurry, hurry, come on, please.
00:08:48Emergency.
00:08:50Should I bring it all in?
00:08:52Yes, all of it, yeah.
00:08:56Flour, baking soda, orange juice.
00:09:18Let me check the eggs.
00:09:19We need eggs and Canadian bacon.
00:09:21She's right, she doesn't is a thing.
00:09:26Miss Bennett, is there anything else I can pick up for you while I'm at the market?
00:09:30I'm sure that whatever Wilma put on the list is just fine.
00:09:34Okay.
00:09:35We'll bring me some ice cream, walnut fudge, and chocolate cookies.
00:09:40Put them in the back of the freezer and make sure that Wilma doesn't catch it.
00:09:45Oh, that looks okay there.
00:09:49We'll bring you some ice cream.
00:09:49Okay.
00:09:49Let's see.
00:09:50Let's see.
00:09:50Let's see.
00:09:51Let's see.
00:09:52Let's see.
00:09:53Let's see.
00:09:53Let's see.
00:09:54Let's see.
00:09:55Let's see.
00:09:56You got a lot of stuff.
00:10:25Large family?
00:10:26No, no. I work for somebody in the neighborhood.
00:10:29Chauffeur, sort of a personal assistant type of thing.
00:10:33Have we met before?
00:10:34If we had met, I'd remember.
00:10:36Sarah Wells.
00:10:37Grant Landis.
00:10:42Do you want to say something?
00:10:44He's standing in front of the ice cream.
00:10:46Oh, I need some too. What do you want?
00:10:48Walnut fudge. Thanks.
00:10:54Thanks.
00:10:54We said that.
00:10:56Thanks.
00:10:57No problem.
00:11:02Grant! Grant!
00:11:05Hold on.
00:11:08Hi.
00:11:08What, are you following me?
00:11:10Following you? I'm chasing you.
00:11:12I have your walnut fudge, which means you must have my vanilla.
00:11:15Yeah. How did that happen?
00:11:16I don't know.
00:11:18But to tell you the truth, I'm glad it did.
00:11:21Who's that?
00:11:23Marion Bennett?
00:11:24Well, now we know who I am, but who the hell are you?
00:11:27Oh, Sarah Wells.
00:11:29I don't mean to intrude, but may I give you these?
00:11:33Oh, pay the man, will you? I'll square it with you later.
00:11:35Queen Anne's face, Delfinium Columbine, beautiful flowers.
00:11:44They're my favorites.
00:11:45A woman with taste. Too many people rely on roses. A show-off flower, but these are absolutely beautiful.
00:11:52This is all my fault. I accept full responsibility for this.
00:11:55I have seen all of your movies.
00:11:57Well, that's more than I can say. Much too painful watching oneself fade away on Senator Wood.
00:12:04The Song of Life with Henry Fonda was my favorite. You are a brilliant actress.
00:12:08I know how important your privacy is to you, Miss Bennett, but I had no...
00:12:12Nonsense.
00:12:13I found it fascinating.
00:12:15And talented, too.
00:12:19I didn't know that you painted.
00:12:22This is Connecticut, isn't it?
00:12:23Name mystic, yes.
00:12:26I do not appreciate being the bait for some romantic trap you've set.
00:12:31Is that perfectly clear?
00:12:32Perfectly.
00:12:35I'm sure I have a good eye. She's very pretty.
00:12:39There was no bug about Bogey. It was an actor who enjoyed acting. He just did it.
00:12:49Knew it was good.
00:12:51Short, of course. Shorter than you'd imagine.
00:12:54Not as short as Island Lad, but...
00:12:57Well, what's the word I'm searching for?
00:13:00Short?
00:13:00Yes, short.
00:13:03Exactly.
00:13:04And always on time, like my father.
00:13:07He'd drive off without us if we weren't on time.
00:13:11What do you think of movies today?
00:13:13Well, they seem to do a great deal of acting.
00:13:15It's exhausting.
00:13:16I have to remind them that there's not a Nobel Prize for it, and that Shirley Temple was doing it perfectly well at the age of four.
00:13:25Well, I'll be leaving for the night if there's nothing else, Miss Bennet.
00:13:31Go ahead, Wilma. We'll manage from here.
00:13:34Dinner was delicious, Mrs. Neal.
00:13:36Why, thank you, dear. Good night, then.
00:13:40Night-night.
00:13:42There's ice cream for dessert.
00:13:45Chopin prelude in D-flat. Don't you love it?
00:14:00You really have the most extraordinary taste.
00:14:03The right music, the right heart, the right flowers.
00:14:06It's almost as if you knew me.
00:14:09Well, how could I? There's been so little written about you.
00:14:12Why should anyone want to write about me?
00:14:15Oh, they're interested.
00:14:16None of their business.
00:14:18Is this George Cukor?
00:14:20Mm-hmm. Yes.
00:14:21Brilliant director.
00:14:23Used very shrewdly what I had to offer.
00:14:25My harsh voice, this skinny, horse face of mine.
00:14:31Oh, look, Michael Raymond. Was he wonderful?
00:14:35He certainly thought so.
00:14:37Ego, ego.
00:14:38I don't know him.
00:14:39Romantic lead, war pictures, period pieces.
00:14:42The reviewer said that the love scenes between you and him
00:14:45were some of the best work you've ever done.
00:14:46On-screen magic.
00:14:48Yes.
00:14:49Well, magic isn't what it used to be.
00:14:53There were rumors that despite the age difference between you and him,
00:14:56there was an off-screen romance as well.
00:14:59Oh, people say such stupid things.
00:15:03So there was nothing.
00:15:05Well, I'd rather now discuss the man.
00:15:06Frankly, it's late, and I'm quite exhausted.
00:15:10If it's something that I said, I'm sorry.
00:15:12Good night.
00:15:21She's just tired.
00:15:32You didn't have to drive me.
00:15:34Well, no, I mean, it's good practice.
00:15:36You probably could have walked here faster.
00:15:37I'd get so turned around.
00:15:38Yeah, for a chauffeur, you really don't know your way around very well.
00:15:43Well, you graduate with an English degree, you take what you can get.
00:15:47English?
00:15:47Yeah.
00:15:48I should have guessed.
00:15:50Idealistic, sensitive.
00:15:51You don't have that big city edge.
00:15:53Iowa.
00:15:54That explains a lot.
00:15:56Yeah.
00:15:59Hey, could I buy you a drink somewhere?
00:16:01I mean, all this talking tonight, and I still don't know a thing about you.
00:16:05I thought I talked too much about myself.
00:16:08No, not a word.
00:16:09Really?
00:16:09Yeah.
00:16:10Huh.
00:16:11Yeah.
00:16:12So how about that drink?
00:16:14Oh, look at the time.
00:16:15I really gotta go.
00:16:16Maybe tomorrow?
00:16:17Sure.
00:16:18Tomorrow's good.
00:16:22Tonight is a night that I will never forget.
00:16:24May I help you?
00:16:53I thought Tom was following me, but I guess not.
00:16:58Come on.
00:18:28I didn't expect you for hours.
00:18:31I don't know what it is.
00:18:33Calculus, Latin, even quantum physics, they're all a snap to me compared to women.
00:18:38Love is never easy, it's best to forget it. It only gets in the way.
00:18:45In the way of what?
00:18:46Everything.
00:18:47Good morning.
00:18:59Well, well, you're awake.
00:19:01Yes, I am. I wanted to get up before Miss Bennet. Show her I could do it. I haven't heard a peep.
00:19:05Have you checked the garden?
00:19:08How early do you have to get up to get the jump on?
00:19:10I'm not sure anyone's ever managed that.
00:19:14It looks like she has company.
00:19:17Breakfast for three, I take it?
00:19:19Sarah.
00:19:20Ice cream? How did that get in the house?
00:19:28Never rely on anyone else to make you happy. That's my belief. Be independent. Be free.
00:19:35You never thought about marriage?
00:19:38I have better things to think about. Better ways to spend my time. Marriage is for fools.
00:19:45Good morning.
00:19:46Oh, hi, Grant. I was dropping off a thank you note when Miss Bennet came out and invited me in.
00:19:51At five, in the morning.
00:19:53I'm an early riser.
00:19:55Obviously, from good stock.
00:19:58Wilma's preparing breakfast.
00:20:00Oh, I really can't stay.
00:20:01You have somewhere to go at this hour?
00:20:04Of course you'll stay.
00:20:05Only if I can return the favor. There's a seascape exhibit at the museum. Let it be my treat.
00:20:11I'll never go out in public. It's a damn nuisance. I feel like a national monument on tour.
00:20:17There's an entire room of Winslow Homer.
00:20:20Winslow Homer?
00:20:23He was a great friend of my father's.
00:20:26Supposedly, I'm in one of his paintings. A baby in her father's arms or some such.
00:20:31Well, here's your chance to see.
00:20:33Miss Bennet really isn't quite up to it.
00:20:35I'm not up to it.
00:20:38Well, I'll decide what I'm up to, what I'm not up to, and we'll discuss your attitude over breakfast.
00:20:44Isn't it a beauty?
00:20:50All power and fury, nature unbound.
00:20:52I don't know. Is that Mary and Bennet?
00:20:55Are they looking?
00:20:57No, you don't have to tell me I can feel it.
00:20:59Sure. They're just curious.
00:21:01Why, oh, look, bust.
00:21:02Are they surprised that I can still walk alone?
00:21:04Simply that I'm alive at all?
00:21:07Miss Bennet, could I have your autograph?
00:21:09I've been a fan for years.
00:21:10Of what possible use could my name on a piece of paper be to you?
00:21:17Oh, it's a hobby.
00:21:18Collect stamps.
00:21:19Let's try the next room, shall we?
00:21:28Isn't that Michael Raymond?
00:21:30Good grief.
00:21:32Get me out of here.
00:21:33Marion!
00:21:34Marion Bennet!
00:21:35A little louder, please.
00:21:38There might be someone in this building who didn't hear you the first time.
00:21:42I can't really believe it's you.
00:21:45Oh, what a surprise.
00:21:49What an absolutely wonderful surprise.
00:21:53That's right after all the garbage.
00:21:55You look incredible.
00:21:57You've clearly lost your mind.
00:21:59Get away.
00:22:00Grand.
00:22:01Don't just stand there.
00:22:02Mr. Raymond, Miss Bennet would appreciate it if you would just...
00:22:07Do you think this tie really goes with that shirt?
00:22:12Oh, can't we go somewhere and talk?
00:22:17Talk all you want, just not with me.
00:22:20I haven't seen you in 50 years.
00:22:23And quite frankly, they've been the best 50 years of my life.
00:22:27Let's go.
00:22:29I think I'm going to stay in and catch the rest of the exhibit.
00:22:32This isn't going to be easy.
00:22:38You're just now realizing that?
00:22:41She's tough.
00:22:43The nerve of that man.
00:22:44He's never been to a museum in his life.
00:22:47He must have been following me all this time.
00:22:50For five decades?
00:22:51It was as planned as the invasion of Normandy.
00:22:54Tea at a time like this.
00:23:01Crap!
00:23:02Hey!
00:23:03Scotch and soda.
00:23:04At this hour, Miss Bennet?
00:23:07At this moment.
00:23:08Ah, that girl stayed behind.
00:23:10Do you think?
00:23:11Do you think she's involved in this plot?
00:23:13What plot?
00:23:14The following in the park, you meet this girl the same day she asked about Michael Raymond.
00:23:19And today, here he is, big as life.
00:23:22If that isn't a plot, I'd know what is.
00:23:25I almost choked on my words.
00:23:40What an absolutely wonderful surprise.
00:23:44It was worse than I thought having to be nice to that...
00:23:47that harpy.
00:23:49You were a little over the top.
00:23:50That's because I know my audience.
00:23:53Marion hasn't a subtle bone in her body.
00:23:59Sarah, can we forget this?
00:24:01There must be some way we can do it without her.
00:24:06Michael.
00:24:07Sarah, I swear, I hate this.
00:24:10Let me guess.
00:24:19You recognize me?
00:24:21Who?
00:24:21Yes, yes, I do.
00:24:23But from where?
00:24:24That's so funny.
00:24:24I'm usually really good with faces.
00:24:27Perhaps you're a fan of the cinematic arts.
00:24:31Oh, sure.
00:24:31The Tread Time tire commercial.
00:24:33You know, you made me believe every moment of that.
00:24:36If I had a car, I would buy those tires.
00:24:38Good luck with the acting.
00:24:47In my day, this was a down payment on a house.
00:24:49Let me.
00:24:50No, no, please.
00:24:50No, no, I insist.
00:25:06Could you please ring Sarah Wells' room for me?
00:25:21There's no Wells registered.
00:25:23Could it be under something else?
00:25:25She's a beautiful woman, mid-twenties, dark hair, very classy, terrific smile.
00:25:30She sounds like the type that would be staying at the Meridian.
00:25:34The Meridian?
00:25:35It's a five-star place just around the corner.
00:25:37Excuse me.
00:25:48I'm looking for...
00:25:49I'm going to go call the office.
00:25:57They're probably wondering what happened.
00:25:58Hello.
00:25:59Okay.
00:26:00What's going on?
00:26:01What kind of con are you two pulling?
00:26:04I beg your pardon?
00:26:05Um, Grant Landis.
00:26:07Mr. Landis, this is Mr. Raymond.
00:26:09I don't believe you were formally introduced this morning.
00:26:11Grant is Miss Bennett's driver.
00:26:13Ah.
00:26:14She was right, huh?
00:26:16This is, uh, this is all a setup?
00:26:18Oh, I could never keep anything from that woman.
00:26:21Yeah.
00:26:21I think somebody owes me an explanation.
00:26:23Well, we'd owe you anything.
00:26:25Well, now, grandfather, let's just not get crazy.
00:26:27Grandfather?
00:26:28He's, he's, he's your grandfather?
00:26:30Yes.
00:26:31I believe that we owe Grant the truth.
00:26:33After all, he does work for Miss Bennett.
00:26:36All right, uh, but someplace else, a little more private.
00:26:44Now, you've got me into this.
00:26:46What exactly do you expect me to tell the boy?
00:26:48Doesn't matter.
00:26:49I'll believe anything you say.
00:26:50I've never met anyone like him.
00:26:53Young man, cheers.
00:26:58You know, it's always a mystery to me when people mistrust me.
00:27:01I always played the hero.
00:27:04Studios thought I had an honest face.
00:27:07Mr. Landis, do you think I have an honest face?
00:27:14I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll wait and, and, and hear what you have to say to me.
00:27:17Oh, cautious, meticulous, weighs everything carefully.
00:27:21No wonder Marion hired you.
00:27:23Uh, you don't sound like a Yankee, but you certainly think like one.
00:27:27That must make Marion very happy.
00:27:29Sir, could, could we just get on with this, please?
00:27:32The, uh, the truth?
00:27:34Ah, yes.
00:27:36The truth.
00:27:38My boy, the truth is all around.
00:27:42It's love, my boy.
00:27:45I'm a wise old man who once was a very foolish boy and let a very precious thing go out of my life.
00:27:52Have you ever been in love?
00:27:55A couple of times.
00:27:56No, then you've never been in love.
00:27:58The real thing only happens once.
00:28:01And that was Marion Bennett for me.
00:28:04The one love of my life.
00:28:07The one love?
00:28:09Yes.
00:28:10The only love.
00:28:13Uh, what, what about Mrs. Raymond?
00:28:18Who?
00:28:19He means grandmother.
00:28:21Oh, well, yes, of course.
00:28:22I was married to Ilsa.
00:28:24I, I met her at the end of the war, uh, in a little small nightclub on the coast of Africa.
00:28:33You know, I, I haven't seen a whole lot of old movies, but, but, but, but this is starting to sound a bit like Casablanca.
00:28:41You're right, it does, doesn't it?
00:28:43Yes.
00:28:43Well, life is often like the movies, much more often than you think.
00:28:48But, come on, Casablanca was a, a wonderful picture, wasn't it?
00:28:56Huh?
00:28:58Try again.
00:29:01Who's I to know you'd seen that picture?
00:29:03Who hasn't?
00:29:07Sounds like machine gun fire.
00:29:10Does Mr. Raymond have anything to do with this mood of yours?
00:29:15Not the slightest.
00:29:16I'm just writing that letter to the editor, then hear my anger about the state of things.
00:29:22Things in particular?
00:29:24The state of the world.
00:29:26Bound to be a long letter.
00:29:29Oh, and such language.
00:29:32The truth is, I've been married three times.
00:29:35The first was Judith, an Olympic ice skater.
00:29:37Oh, she was beautiful, but cold as ice.
00:29:42An occupational hazard, I suppose.
00:29:44And then there was a, uh, uh, uh, uh...
00:29:47Amy.
00:29:48Oh.
00:29:49She was the daughter of a pencil tycoon from Des Moines.
00:29:51She thought show business people were glamorous.
00:29:53I suppose, compared to pencils, uh, she had a point.
00:29:59Don't forget Granny.
00:30:01Uh, yes, the cocktail waitress who walked out on me, left me alone with a child, Francesca.
00:30:08Sarah, Sarah's mother.
00:30:11We two alone against the world.
00:30:14Incredible.
00:30:14Isn't it?
00:30:15Yeah.
00:30:16Well, I brought up a family.
00:30:19I served my heart.
00:30:21Now, all I want is a little happiness for myself.
00:30:27Marion Bennett?
00:30:30Wow.
00:30:31She loved me once, but I, uh, I failed her.
00:30:35All I want, before I go, is a chance to tell her how I feel.
00:30:42Will you please help an old actor who has nowhere else turned?
00:30:46Will you help Cupid aim what might be his final at all?
00:31:03She has this, this beach house that, uh, the, uh, housekeeper tells me that she goes to, uh, every week.
00:31:12She goes to, uh, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her.
00:31:42She goes to, uh, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her.
00:31:56Do you hear, do you hear a ping?
00:31:58A ping?
00:32:00A ping from the engine.
00:32:04Ping, ping, ping, there it is again.
00:32:06What is it?
00:32:08I'm, uh, I'm not a mechanic, Miss Bennett.
00:32:10I, I, I told you that when you hired me.
00:32:12Remember, you, you said that it, that it wasn't going to be a problem.
00:32:16That was before the ping.
00:32:18Everything has to be perfect, exactly the way she likes it.
00:32:36The food, the flowers.
00:32:37Now, is there anything that we forgot?
00:32:39Oh, a fire.
00:32:42A fire in the fireplace.
00:32:44It's got to be 80 degrees in here.
00:32:46Summer or winter, she likes a fire.
00:32:50You know, no matter how perfect we make this, she is going to be furious.
00:32:56Well, you'll have to charm her then, won't you?
00:32:58I'd have more luck with a cobra.
00:33:00You know, Marion's a brawler from way back.
00:33:03She broke my nose once with a well-aimed billiard ball.
00:33:07The Dodgers could have used an arm like hers.
00:33:10You're smiling.
00:33:12Well, I, I hear I had a broken nose and all I could do was laugh.
00:33:17The more I laughed, the madder she, she got.
00:33:21She was a, a hellcat.
00:33:23Doesn't sound all that bad, your relationship.
00:33:26Well, there were moments.
00:33:30Well, I must admit.
00:33:32There were moments.
00:33:36You never saw her in her heyday.
00:33:39There was an actress in the world who could touch her.
00:33:43For my money, there still isn't.
00:33:48She looks good, doesn't she?
00:33:54Remarkable.
00:33:56After all these years.
00:33:58This is a beautiful place.
00:34:22My father built it.
00:34:25Excellent craftsman.
00:34:39My, my favorite flower.
00:34:42Tea.
00:34:43Heart and waiting.
00:34:45If it isn't just the way I like it.
00:34:47There's a card on the flowers.
00:34:50Read it.
00:34:54Don't be too angry.
00:34:56There's no signature.
00:34:58Oh.
00:34:59I have a bad feeling about this.
00:35:02Marion, I had to find a way to talk to you.
00:35:06My God.
00:35:08It's an ambush.
00:35:10An ambush.
00:35:11How did you get in?
00:35:12Well, the caretaker.
00:35:13He's a, a fan.
00:35:15He's fired.
00:35:17How dare you follow me with her?
00:35:20She's a little young.
00:35:22Even for you.
00:35:23Isn't she, Michael?
00:35:24Well, you see, Sarah is his granddaughter.
00:35:28You knew, too?
00:35:29You were in on all this.
00:35:31Well, not from the beginning, ma'am.
00:35:33What?
00:35:34You're fired, too?
00:35:35I, I want you all out.
00:35:38I better call a cab.
00:35:39A cab?
00:35:40Out here.
00:35:41That'll take forever.
00:35:42I'll go.
00:35:43No, no.
00:35:44Oh, no.
00:35:44You're hired again, but only until we get home.
00:35:47Now, listen.
00:35:48Mr. Raymond talked to me.
00:35:49He explained.
00:35:50Maybe you don't know him well enough.
00:35:51Well enough?
00:35:52I think I know him well enough.
00:35:54I was married to him.
00:35:58You were married?
00:36:01Did I neglect to mention that?
00:36:04Yes.
00:36:09Don't, don't listen to what I have to say.
00:36:11Don't you give me the benefit of a doubt.
00:36:14Don't worry.
00:36:15I won't.
00:36:18Don't yell at her.
00:36:20Michael Flatter.
00:36:20Her make nice.
00:36:21She got too much riding on this.
00:36:22She can catch more flies with honey.
00:36:24She's no fly.
00:36:25She's a, a praying mantis.
00:36:28That's what you are.
00:36:29A praying mantis.
00:36:32Oh.
00:36:37I'd, I'd very much like to go now.
00:36:40It won't start.
00:36:41Get out.
00:36:42Get out.
00:36:43Get out.
00:36:44Look under the hood.
00:36:45What?
00:36:57Can I help?
00:36:59You've already helped me right into the unemployment line.
00:37:01All right?
00:37:02How could that one little detail about the relationship have slipped your mind?
00:37:06It was a secret.
00:37:08A secret?
00:37:09You expect me to believe that two of the biggest stars of all time were married and nobody knew?
00:37:13Studio wanted them single.
00:37:15I'm considering the age difference.
00:37:17I mean, even dating was a pretty scandalous concept back then.
00:37:20They eloped to Mexico.
00:37:21The press never found out.
00:37:22And when they got back?
00:37:24Oh, they were divorced by then.
00:37:25It only lasted five days.
00:37:28Five days?
00:37:29Yeah, well, Michael said if it lasted into a six, one of them wouldn't have made it out alive.
00:37:33He compares it to both world wars.
00:37:36And this is the woman that he wants to see again?
00:37:40Love's a funny thing.
00:37:45Oh.
00:37:46Crack distributor cap.
00:37:51Not till morning.
00:37:53That's the best you can do.
00:37:55If I ran my life the way you run your garage, I'd still be doing walk-ons.
00:38:02I'll be in my room.
00:38:23We first met in a place very much like this.
00:38:27I didn't realize you were lying in wait.
00:38:30Kindly, do not speak.
00:38:32I'm just looking out at the water.
00:38:34Oh, just do as you like.
00:38:36I'm going to make myself a cup of tea and I'm going to take it back to my bunker.
00:38:39Where's the damn tea?
00:38:46Malibu, 1943.
00:38:51It was a cocktail party for a sub-picture or another.
00:38:53I can't remember which.
00:38:55Double indemnity.
00:38:56Ah, yes.
00:38:59Will you stop helping me?
00:39:01I may be brittle, but I'm not feeble.
00:39:03You were always so damned independent.
00:39:05Never thinking of anyone but yourself.
00:39:09Did you ever think about us?
00:39:11I have the occasional nightmare, if that's what you're asking.
00:39:16Having nothing better to do, why don't you just buzz off?
00:39:19I don't need this attitude.
00:39:22You know, coming here was not my idea.
00:39:26Who's then?
00:39:27Sarah's.
00:39:28Ah.
00:39:30She wants us to talk.
00:39:34To have another go at it.
00:39:37We had fun once.
00:39:40I honestly don't remember.
00:39:43Well, the truth is, I miss you.
00:39:48God help us.
00:39:49How many marriages since ours?
00:39:51Three?
00:39:52Four?
00:39:52What can I say?
00:39:54You were impossible to replace.
00:39:57But you kept trying.
00:39:59I was never one to give up without a fight.
00:40:01Oh, well, if it's a fight you're looking for.
00:40:05We had something together, man.
00:40:08You can't deny that.
00:40:11It was never dull.
00:40:14Now, there is a hurricane.
00:40:16But having been through one, I'll be damned if I'll fly into one again.
00:40:21Mmm, my tea.
00:40:25Have some, if you like.
00:40:27Although, as I recall, you never much cared for.
00:40:30Tea?
00:40:32I'll take a cup.
00:40:35Taste change, I suppose.
00:40:36We all change in countless ways.
00:40:39Man, man.
00:40:42I am back.
00:40:44Better late than never.
00:40:46In your case, better, never.
00:40:52This wasn't my ideal job, you know.
00:40:54But, uh, but at least it was something.
00:40:58Next time you see me, I'm probably going to be playing the harmonica on the street for spare change.
00:41:02Well, for what it's worth, I'm sorry.
00:41:04I mean, but if we had told you the truth, you would have said no.
00:41:07And then there would be no chance for them at all.
00:41:09I guess you did what you had to do.
00:41:10Well, I'm, I'm sorry for leaving you on personally, you know.
00:41:14There was no excuse for that.
00:41:16You have a boyfriend.
00:41:17You're not dating anyone?
00:41:18No, no, no.
00:41:20Oh.
00:41:21Most of my relationships end up a lot like this one.
00:41:24I'm the guy who went to, uh, the senior prom with my cousin.
00:41:28Oh.
00:41:30He didn't like it any more than I did.
00:41:33But you have so much going for you.
00:41:36Such as?
00:41:37Such as?
00:41:38Such as?
00:41:40See?
00:41:41I mean, look at me.
00:41:41I'm, I'm a guy in my mid-twenties with a college degree and I'm driving a car for a living.
00:41:47You know?
00:41:49My life has no direction.
00:41:51The only reason I wound up in English is because nothing else clicked for me.
00:41:54I have, I have no family out here.
00:41:56No roots, no romantic possibilities.
00:41:59You know?
00:42:00I mean, what exactly do you think that I have going for me?
00:42:05Well, for one thing, you're cute.
00:42:08And I mean that it's a compliment.
00:42:22This is incredibly awkward.
00:42:24All of a sudden, I, uh, I gotta go in.
00:42:27Okay?
00:42:28Just the beach and the dock and all this honesty.
00:42:30A little bit more than I can handle.
00:42:42We could sit on a deck.
00:42:43It's a warm evening.
00:42:44I prefer to have mine in my room.
00:42:48Are you still going back tomorrow?
00:42:50What do you think?
00:42:51Contrary to what you might have hoped, a full moon is not the answer to any of life's more complicated questions.
00:42:59Good night.
00:43:01Look at me!
00:43:02When does it stop, Miriam?
00:43:06When does all this fighting end?
00:43:08So you can enjoy the rest of your life.
00:43:11I do enjoy life, Michael.
00:43:14Every day, every hour, every breath of it.
00:43:17And yet you're alone.
00:43:19I enjoy it.
00:43:21Look at me.
00:43:22Because I am alone.
00:43:25Catch on.
00:43:25What's this?
00:43:46You're leaving.
00:43:46You shouldn't go on an empty stomach.
00:43:48You cook.
00:43:49Remember the last time I cooked for you?
00:43:52Ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:43:55You never did anything for me.
00:43:57It was always for you.
00:43:59If we slept, it was because you were tired.
00:44:02We ate when you were hungry.
00:44:04I cooked for you the day I proposed.
00:44:06Oh.
00:44:07And you were wearing those slacks you always insisted on and a blouse, white.
00:44:13And a red sweater over your shoulders.
00:44:17How on earth do you remember that?
00:44:18And I don't.
00:44:19I was in love with you.
00:44:20I was pretty in love with myself at the time, too.
00:44:24But I don't recall what I wore and where I wore it.
00:44:30Please.
00:44:33Are you trying to poison me?
00:44:35I'm trying to feed you.
00:44:37You're always ravenous in the mornings.
00:44:39Or has that changed?
00:44:41Ha.
00:44:43Well?
00:44:44Miss Bennett?
00:44:50Miss Bennett?
00:44:51The garage has called and the part is in.
00:44:54This whole thing has turned into such a mess.
00:44:58Grant, there's something that I have to tell you.
00:45:00Yes?
00:45:00Well, there's no time now.
00:45:01I've got to find Miss Bennett and get her home and get to the employment office.
00:45:04Looks like she's already up and out now.
00:45:05And with my luck, she's probably walked to town by herself.
00:45:08Wait.
00:45:08Did I see them?
00:45:09What, together?
00:45:10Is there much blood?
00:45:12Would the entire world choose from?
00:45:14Why do you choose here and now?
00:45:17Because I'm curious.
00:45:18I know there was someone after me.
00:45:20An attorney, I heard.
00:45:22I didn't retire to a nunnery.
00:45:24That's what you mean.
00:45:25Was he special?
00:45:27He was sensitive, charming, very bright.
00:45:30He wanted me desperately and I used him shamelessly.
00:45:35I was pretty shameless myself once upon a time.
00:45:37Terrible scoundrel when you knew me.
00:45:40So full of myself.
00:45:41So in love with the idea of me.
00:45:44I suppose we both were.
00:45:47Oh, birds, look at that.
00:45:48No hope at all of making a marriage work back then.
00:45:51Ah, you were foolish.
00:45:54And I cannot abide fools.
00:45:57It was a simpler time.
00:45:58It wasn't.
00:45:58But relationships were more complicated than we were more complicated than we were.
00:46:05Have you simplified with time?
00:46:09Haven't we both?
00:46:13Full day without any casualties, huh?
00:46:15What are the odds?
00:46:17You know you're going to make someone a great little dishwasher someday.
00:46:20Thanks.
00:46:21It's amazing what you can do with that English degree.
00:46:24So tell me about this guy that you're seeing.
00:46:27Oh, it's no one, really.
00:46:28Oh, you missed his spot.
00:46:30Well, I'd really like to know about him.
00:46:33Really, there's no one.
00:46:34There's no guy.
00:46:35There's just my work.
00:46:3725 hours a day, 13 months a year.
00:46:40What is it that you do, exactly?
00:46:42And where do you do it?
00:46:44What do I do?
00:46:45I, you know, I do this and, you know, that.
00:46:49I go all over.
00:46:50I go here and there.
00:46:52You ever think your problem might be focus?
00:46:54My first real drink since the Nixon years.
00:47:00Everyone drank then.
00:47:02They had to, of course.
00:47:03I feel as if time hasn't passed.
00:47:11Have you looked into a mirror lately?
00:47:14Age is a state of mind.
00:47:16Oh, well, I live in a very old state.
00:47:19One of the original 13 colonies.
00:47:23Marion, I'd miss our friendship.
00:47:28I dare you to let me close again.
00:47:31Unfair.
00:47:31Unfair.
00:47:32I double dare you.
00:47:35Too many years between then and now, Michael.
00:47:38Well, we don't know, unless we give it an honest try.
00:47:41If honesty is a consideration, there's something you should know.
00:47:46Something I should have told you long ago.
00:47:49When you marched out that door and you left me alone in Mexico,
00:47:55I was not entirely alone.
00:48:00I...
00:48:01I knew it.
00:48:02You knew what?
00:48:04There was someone else all the time.
00:48:07There was nothing of the sort.
00:48:09That's why you were so ill-tempered, so impossible.
00:48:12You had some star-struck lifeguard waiting out there in the wings.
00:48:16I don't believe what I'm hearing.
00:48:18You admitted it yourself.
00:48:20You were not alone.
00:48:22I wasn't alone.
00:48:24I was pregnant.
00:48:26I was so angry with you, I couldn't call, I couldn't write, I couldn't give you the smug satisfaction of a job well done.
00:48:40I didn't know what to do.
00:48:43I didn't know what to do.
00:48:44You should have told me.
00:48:45I finally might have, but a few weeks later, the decision was taken out of my hands.
00:48:55I miscarried.
00:48:57I miscarried.
00:48:59I was half-living.
00:49:00I was half-living to tell you, but I've lived with it myself all these years.
00:49:06But nevertheless, my brother, my parents, you, our baby, I vowed never to leave myself open to hurt again.
00:49:18Remember you didn't make it right, young attorney?
00:49:21Well, there were two very good reasons for that.
00:49:24He put me on a pedestal.
00:49:26Lovely view from up there, but very lonely.
00:49:30And the other reason?
00:49:32The other reason?
00:49:36Mr. He wasn't you.
00:49:40He wasn't you.
00:49:44Maryam, let's go back home, huh?
00:49:48Let's go back and have a night on the town.
00:49:51Paint it red, blue, green, any color you like.
00:49:57I know that you are charming me.
00:50:00You are deliberately charming me, and still I'm charmed.
00:50:03But you are a rather sincere or better actor than I remember.
00:50:09Both.
00:50:10Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do.
00:50:25Where are you frowning?
00:50:27We're on a double date, remember?
00:50:28Huh?
00:50:30Have you told her yet?
00:50:31I, uh, tried.
00:50:34No, it's a lie.
00:50:35I couldn't.
00:50:38She's more than I expected.
00:50:40So she still thinks I'm your granddaughter.
00:50:41What did I get us into?
00:50:43Well, I'll find a way.
00:50:45I'll tell her when the time is right.
00:50:48Trust me.
00:50:49I've always done my own makeup.
00:50:54No one else ever quite knew what to do with this face.
00:50:58I've lived with it for so many years,
00:51:00and I could picture it they did over and over again,
00:51:03never getting it quite right.
00:51:04I have a perfect trust, perfectly adequate.
00:51:07I think you have a lovely face, Miss Bennet.
00:51:10Classic.
00:51:11Grisha knew it, and just as old.
00:51:15It's been such a long time since you've worn your jewelry.
00:51:18Took me a while to find it.
00:51:20It was in the pantry of all places, under the sterling.
00:51:23Jimmy's medals.
00:51:26Oh, how many years now?
00:51:28Fifty, sixty.
00:51:30And I still miss him every day of my life.
00:51:35Your brother would be very proud of you tonight.
00:51:38He complained I was forever in slacks and woolen shirts.
00:51:42So when I'm dressed up, it was an occasion.
00:51:45And this is an occasion?
00:51:46This is very much an occasion.
00:51:51Are they still wearing hats?
00:51:53I've never seen you like this.
00:51:56I've never been like this.
00:51:57Well, not for years anyway.
00:52:01I, I, I, I feel 70 again.
00:52:11Hi, come on in.
00:52:12Is Mary ready?
00:52:15Oh, will she be late?
00:52:17She's right on time.
00:52:18Well, don't just stand there.
00:52:29Let's go.
00:52:31Majesty.
00:52:32You made me love you.
00:52:39I didn't want to do it.
00:52:42I didn't want to do it.
00:52:47You made me love you.
00:52:51And all the time you knew it.
00:52:56I'll bet you always knew it.
00:53:00You made me happy sometimes.
00:53:05But there were times, dear, you made me feel so bad.
00:53:26You made me sigh for.
00:53:31I didn't want to tell you.
00:53:36I had to play the piano once.
00:53:38In a movie, I baked it, of course.
00:53:40But even that was tough.
00:53:43I never liked to see my hands going up the scale.
00:53:48When the music was going down the scale.
00:53:51Listen, listen to what he's playing.
00:53:55Well, it's just an old song.
00:53:57No, it's our old song.
00:53:59We were not together long enough to have a song.
00:54:04You've just forgotten.
00:54:06Listen.
00:54:15Yes, yes.
00:54:18The band on our wedding night.
00:54:22You hired them to serenade us.
00:54:25They played for hours.
00:54:26We got from sleep at all.
00:54:27And it wasn't because of the music.
00:54:31How well I remember.
00:54:38They don't make them like that anymore, huh?
00:54:41They never did.
00:54:42Those two made themselves.
00:54:44You're a bit like them.
00:54:45Yeah.
00:54:46Independent and driven.
00:54:47Alone.
00:54:51I mean, to be successful, you have to set priorities.
00:54:54You know, you've got to give up something.
00:54:56I mean, I would love a relationship, right?
00:54:58But now's not the time.
00:55:00Well, you also need to decide on what you mean by success.
00:55:03My dad's got a small hardware store back home.
00:55:05He's got no money to speak of.
00:55:07But everybody in the town just loves him.
00:55:11And to see him look at my mom.
00:55:15You just don't see love like that much anymore.
00:55:18To me, that's success.
00:55:24You never did a musical, did you?
00:55:27Only one.
00:55:27I remember running into Brenda Baxter one evening after she'd seen that picture.
00:55:34Did you do your own singing?
00:55:38Yes.
00:55:38Yes, Brenda, I did.
00:55:41Terribly flattered I was.
00:55:43And she looked at me and she replied.
00:55:45Well, I think you should do something.
00:55:50Mr. Raymond?
00:55:51Yes?
00:55:52I'm terribly sorry, but there's been a problem with your credit card.
00:55:55What sort of problem?
00:55:56It was refused.
00:55:58Oh.
00:56:00Oh, wait.
00:56:01That happens to me all the time.
00:56:04Well, it would, I'm sure, if I went out at all.
00:56:07If I ever bought anything.
00:56:08Here you go.
00:56:09Do you still recognize our currency?
00:56:12Marion, please, I just couldn't.
00:56:14You didn't ask.
00:56:15I offered.
00:56:17Take this.
00:56:20Do you believe that?
00:56:22Do you believe that she went up to his room with him?
00:56:25And what did she mean by, I'll call you if I need you?
00:56:28She meant that we have the night off.
00:56:30Any suggestions?
00:56:32I really, I hadn't thought.
00:56:34There again, I, I, I guess I could come up with something.
00:56:46Some champagne?
00:56:49I wouldn't say no.
00:56:51I won't be a moment.
00:56:52But you're obviously doing well to afford an apartment like this.
00:56:57Not bad.
00:57:00Well, well.
00:57:03Architecture today.
00:57:04Living on the Rollercoaster by Michael Raymond.
00:57:13Living on the Rollercoaster.
00:57:16Only we could ride.
00:57:19What the hell is this?
00:57:21All I'm asking for is a simple bottle of champagne.
00:57:25Fine, fine.
00:57:26Whatever you have to do.
00:57:28But quickly, please.
00:57:29Yes.
00:57:30Yes, I'll hold.
00:57:31Five days in hell.
00:57:37My secret life with Marion Bennett.
00:57:40Oh, what a pig.
00:57:42There was some confusion with room service, but they said that they'd, uh...
00:57:45I don't care what they said.
00:57:47I care what you've said in print.
00:57:50Well, where did you find this?
00:57:52In plain sight, under a magazine and a paperweight.
00:57:56I've been meaning to bring this up.
00:57:57They're my memoirs.
00:58:01A few memoirs of my own seem to have slipped in with yours.
00:58:05Well, it's only a rough draft.
00:58:08Three entire chapters about our five days in hell.
00:58:12Should I hold my breath for the polished version?
00:58:15Will you please let me explain?
00:58:17My private thoughts, the secrets I've shared with you, they're all in there.
00:58:23You've avoided yourself by my, my firing squad.
00:58:27And I've just spent the weekend giving you ammunition.
00:58:31I'll be the laughingstock of the whole country.
00:58:34Man, everyone is writing these things.
00:58:37That may be true, but if you go ahead with this, if you publish this, this bunk,
00:58:42then you're not everyone.
00:58:44You're not anyone to me.
00:58:46Hey, come on, you can't walk that.
00:58:48You've got to hear my sight of this.
00:58:49Please.
00:58:50My stick.
00:58:51Where's my stick?
00:58:51Right here, right here.
00:58:52I can't walk without my stick.
00:58:55Don, if you, if you, if you, if you listen to my side of it, you offered me a lot of money.
00:59:02Champagne for one, then?
00:59:03Yes.
00:59:08May we get you a car, Miss Bennett?
00:59:10May you what?
00:59:11May we get you a car.
00:59:12Oh, no, no, no.
00:59:13I'm too angry to wait.
00:59:14I'll walk.
00:59:14My purse.
00:59:23Oh, you're good.
00:59:24That's it.
00:59:34If Miss Bennett caught me doing this, she'd kill me.
00:59:37She hates anyone touching her fireplace.
00:59:39Are you warm enough?
00:59:40Are you cool enough?
00:59:41I'm fine.
00:59:41Okay, because I could turn up the air conditioning.
00:59:44Oh, look at this.
00:59:44Air conditioning and the fire.
00:59:46She's got me doing it now.
00:59:48You're a little nervous.
00:59:49Why don't you just leave it alone?
00:59:51Okay.
00:59:52All right.
00:59:59Unzip by me.
01:00:00All right.
01:00:09A little closer.
01:00:13Okay.
01:00:13You can't be this shy.
01:00:15Uh-huh.
01:00:15Yes, yes.
01:00:16Yes, I can.
01:00:17This is, uh...
01:00:18This is not something that I do every day.
01:00:20It's actually nothing that I do any day.
01:00:22I've never dated anyone like you.
01:00:25You should be in a zoo or something, an endangered species.
01:00:28In a world full of these Arnold Schwarzeneggers, you're like Jimmy Stewart.
01:00:34And women hate that.
01:00:35Oh, not all women.
01:00:36Oh, my God.
01:00:44Oh, my God.
01:00:45It's Miss Bennett.
01:00:46How do you know?
01:00:46I've always found that by asking what's the worst thing that could possibly happen,
01:00:49I could predict the future with incredible accuracy.
01:00:51Okay.
01:00:53And what am I forgetting?
01:00:54I'm forgetting something.
01:00:56The doorbell.
01:00:57Yes.
01:01:03Mr. Raymond.
01:01:04I, uh, I have to see her.
01:01:06Why aren't you at the hotel?
01:01:08Is she really angry?
01:01:09Who?
01:01:09Marion.
01:01:10She's not here.
01:01:11You're a very loyal employee, Grant, but I have to explain.
01:01:15Marion?
01:01:16No, no, no.
01:01:16She's really not here.
01:01:19Marion!
01:01:20Grant is telling the truth, Michael.
01:01:22She's not here.
01:01:23Well, she left the hotel an hour ago.
01:01:25An hour ago?
01:01:26I dropped you off an hour ago.
01:01:27We had a falling out.
01:01:28She stormed out into the night.
01:01:31Left her purse, her money, and her ID.
01:01:35Oh, my God.
01:01:36Well, if she's not there and she's not here, then where is she?
01:01:43Yes, yes, you're right.
01:01:45We're very like you and I.
01:01:48Get up and go when someone snaps the reins.
01:01:51Do the job.
01:01:53Then go home.
01:01:54Until the next time they trot us out.
01:02:01But you, you're luckier than I.
01:02:04You haven't been married.
01:02:05You haven't been married.
01:02:07Oh, have you?
01:02:08Have you?
01:02:09Maybe there's a Michael Raymond in your life, too.
01:02:13God help you.
01:02:16What I ever saw in that man, I will never know.
01:02:20I will never know.
01:02:21And this is what gets you alone and exhausted with no money, even for a taxi home.
01:02:28Where could she have gone?
01:02:30Does she have any friends?
01:02:31None that she likes.
01:02:32She was in the mood.
01:02:33With every right.
01:02:34What happened?
01:02:35She found the book.
01:02:37She found the book?
01:02:38Our book.
01:02:39My autobiography.
01:02:42Grant, um, I work for Huntley House, the publishers.
01:02:45Michael and I are business associates.
01:02:47I'm not really his granddaughter.
01:02:52Not his granddaughter.
01:02:54I was going to tell you tonight.
01:02:57When?
01:02:58After you got everything that you needed from Miss Bennet?
01:03:02What all does this book cover?
01:03:04Everything.
01:03:05And they weren't going to publish it unless Michael could get Marion's cooperation,
01:03:08some objective proof that the marriage took place.
01:03:11Well, I wouldn't hold my breath on that one.
01:03:13Everyone in the world knows the way she feels about marriage.
01:03:15And you two are going to say that that's a lie?
01:03:17I think we should call the police.
01:03:19Not yet.
01:03:20She hates publicity.
01:03:21We'll go out there and look for her ourselves.
01:03:23We'll trace the roots from the hotel to here.
01:03:24Do you have any idea how many possible street combinations that involves?
01:03:28We can't just sit here.
01:03:29Say, where's your owner?
01:03:32Has he just gone off and left you alone?
01:03:35Yeah?
01:03:38I used to be quite a horsewoman.
01:03:40Did you know that?
01:03:42I even made a Western.
01:03:44Got to shoot a rifle.
01:03:48Rope a cow.
01:03:50I don't suppose you saw it.
01:03:52John Wayne was an amazing character.
01:03:56He was a good actor.
01:03:59An enormous man.
01:04:01Tiny heat.
01:04:04Have you been to the East Bay?
01:04:06Lovely part of town.
01:04:08Lovely.
01:04:09Hey, hey, come back with that horse.
01:04:23Police.
01:04:25Police.
01:04:28Sounds as if someone's in trouble.
01:04:30They went that way.
01:04:34They went that way.
01:04:35Let's say, yes, is it?
01:04:55Is it two rights and a left?
01:04:57Or is it two lefts and a right?
01:04:59Whoa, whoa, whoa.
01:05:19She stole my horse.
01:05:21I didn't steal your horse.
01:05:23He was neglected.
01:05:25He needed the exercise.
01:05:27You're lucky it was me.
01:05:28You're not a common horse thing.
01:05:31Can I see your license, ma'am?
01:05:32It's license.
01:05:33You need a license to drive a horse now?
01:05:36Get down.
01:05:36Get down from there.
01:05:37Oh, shut up.
01:05:39I'll pay you for your horse.
01:05:42Ma'am, the license.
01:05:45Oh, well, I seem to have left my purse at the hotel.
01:05:51We're very sure.
01:05:52Would you get down, please?
01:05:54Don't touch me.
01:05:55We need to take a little ride downtown.
01:05:57My taxes pay for your salaries, which makes me your employer.
01:06:01And as your employer, I say, you take me home now.
01:06:09Now.
01:06:10I don't care who you are.
01:06:10Stop it.
01:06:11Stop it.
01:06:12We're all pinned.
01:06:14Come on.
01:06:14Give it to your hands.
01:06:17Get away.
01:06:19Just get your hands on.
01:06:21Please, we'll handle this.
01:06:22Please.
01:06:22Come on.
01:06:23Get your hands on.
01:06:24Get your hands on.
01:06:25Are these the best accommodations you can offer?
01:06:32Sorry.
01:06:33The penthouse is occupied at the moment.
01:06:35If there's an opening, we'll call.
01:06:38No need for sarcasm.
01:06:48Oh.
01:06:53Isn't that a queen bee?
01:06:55I don't know.
01:06:56Ask her.
01:06:59Hey.
01:07:00Aren't you Marion Bennett?
01:07:02I was once.
01:07:04Now it's anyone's guess.
01:07:10Nothing.
01:07:11It wasn't my intention to hurt her, but Grant, I do need the money.
01:07:17Well, if you need the money, then why don't you just publish the book without the chapters
01:07:20on the marriage?
01:07:20Those chapters are the only reason my company is interested, okay?
01:07:23And you can live with that, knowing what it'll do to her.
01:07:26I mean, where does this fascination with the sordid details...
01:07:28No, no, no, no, no.
01:07:29Hang on a second.
01:07:29Frank, it wasn't sordid.
01:07:31It was actually marvelous.
01:07:34It's just a book, Grant.
01:07:35Okay?
01:07:36A book.
01:07:36Yeah.
01:07:37Well, somehow I don't think Miss Bennett sees it that way, you know?
01:07:40Are you calling the police?
01:07:44No, I'm calling the housekeeper, just in case.
01:07:47See if she's checked in, you know?
01:07:50Hi, Wilma, it's Grant.
01:07:51Listen, I know it's...
01:07:52Thank God.
01:07:54Is she with you?
01:07:55No, but I just this moment got off the phone with her.
01:07:58Why didn't she call me?
01:08:01What?
01:08:02Where is she?
01:08:03You won't believe it.
01:08:04I certainly don't.
01:08:06In jail.
01:08:07In jail?
01:08:10Jail.
01:08:12So what did they lock you up for?
01:08:14I believe the charge is rustling.
01:08:18Who?
01:08:19Get you!
01:08:21Oh, impossibly a sort of battery.
01:08:23It wasn't clear.
01:08:24And what may I ask you two ladies in for?
01:08:31Entertaining.
01:08:33It's been critical to who wanted to lock me up for that.
01:08:37So what did this guy do?
01:08:41The one you assaulted and battered?
01:08:43He was an officer of the law, the one I should have assaulted and battered, as you put it.
01:08:49Who's guilty of a far more heinous crime.
01:08:52What'd he do?
01:08:54Well, I'd rather not discuss it.
01:08:57She's right in here, Mr. Raymond.
01:09:00Michael Raymond?
01:09:02Latrice, that's Michael Raymond.
01:09:03Is there no end to this nightmare?
01:09:05Why didn't you call someone sooner?
01:09:07There was a long line at the payphone.
01:09:10If this is who's come for me, I'd rather stay behind bars.
01:09:15You should be grateful.
01:09:17Your friend here talked the horse's owner out of pressing formal charges.
01:09:19But I'm guilty of sin.
01:09:21I'm a menace to society.
01:09:23And I shouldn't be roaming the streets.
01:09:26Where's Grant?
01:09:27He wanted to come, but it's my fault that you're here.
01:09:29And it's my job to get you out.
01:09:31A one-man salvation army?
01:09:33Well, I don't need you.
01:09:35You need someone.
01:09:36And right now, I'm all you've got.
01:09:40Look, lady, you're free to go.
01:09:41And frankly, we need the room.
01:09:43You do something.
01:09:44Come on.
01:09:46Put me down.
01:09:49I won't put you down.
01:09:51I won't be doing that.
01:09:52Shut up.
01:09:53Put me down.
01:09:54Put me down.
01:09:55I'm calling the police.
01:09:56Thank you very much.
01:09:58Restless round.
01:09:58Come on, rest me.
01:10:00Rest me.
01:10:00You're supposed to stay in jail here.
01:10:03But I won't be with you.
01:10:04My favorite shoes.
01:10:06Get my clothes.
01:10:07Get my clothes.
01:10:14Good morning, Grant.
01:10:20Good morning.
01:10:21Miss Bannon didn't pick up the newspaper this morning.
01:10:23She's still in bed.
01:10:25At this hour?
01:10:36Miss Bannon?
01:10:37Come in.
01:10:38Are you up?
01:10:39I'm up.
01:10:40I thought you might like breakfast in your room for a change.
01:10:43Um, um, nothing this morning.
01:10:46Are you feeling all right?
01:10:47I'll be down later.
01:10:50About last night.
01:10:51We will never speak of last night again, Robo.
01:10:55Never.
01:11:06It's 11 o'clock and Philip Gordon is not used to being kept waiting.
01:11:10My heart isn't in this.
01:11:11Your heart is not what they are interested in.
01:11:14Now, I've made some notes on the final chapters, a little punch, a little focus, so you can
01:11:19look them over in the cab.
01:11:20Bannon won't take my clothes.
01:11:23Michael, this is business.
01:11:25And this may be your last chance with them.
01:11:28Okay?
01:11:28Okay?
01:11:28Okay.
01:11:28Okay.
01:11:28Okay.
01:11:28Okay.
01:11:41Well, from the look on your face, the news isn't so good.
01:11:47It's a job offer.
01:11:49Oh?
01:11:49Yeah.
01:11:50Teaching position.
01:11:52Well, that's what you wanted, isn't it?
01:11:54Yeah.
01:11:54Well, it's in Arizona and it's for less than I'd hope, but it's what I studied for.
01:11:58What do I do?
01:11:59Michael, we've given you all the cash advances we're willing to make, Mr. Raymond.
01:12:10All we're asking now is an answer.
01:12:11Yes or no?
01:12:12Will you sign the contract allowing us to publish this book or not?
01:12:16I don't know.
01:12:18Michael.
01:12:18You know, Marion has a point.
01:12:21What gives the rest of the world the right to know the intimate details of our private
01:12:24lives?
01:12:25I mean, married or not?
01:12:27The damage is already done, Michael.
01:12:29We don't need her permission.
01:12:31I've heard her admit the truth.
01:12:32She's seen the chapters.
01:12:34But no one else has yet.
01:12:36You know, it's not in the window, Grantano.
01:12:38It's not on the shelves of the public library.
01:12:40It's not even in paperback for light, summer, reading.
01:12:44Mr. Gordon, it's still time to stop it.
01:12:47Let me be particularly blunt, Mr. Raymond.
01:12:50The life of a star whose career tumbled to 3D horror flicks has its limited interest.
01:12:57But what the public will buy, what the public wants to read, is about your marriage to Marion
01:13:02Bennett.
01:13:02Yes, I...
01:13:03I realize that.
01:13:04It is, in fact, the reason we're in business with you to begin with.
01:13:09Look, I know the studios aren't knocking the doors down to get to you.
01:13:13You need the money.
01:13:15And, well, let's face it, you're not the man you once were.
01:13:25I'm not...
01:13:26What?
01:13:27You're not...
01:13:28Michael.
01:13:28What?
01:13:29Michael!
01:13:29What do you mean by that?
01:13:31Oh, look at the man who's lost it!
01:13:34Michael, get down from there.
01:13:35He's gone mad!
01:13:36On guard, Mr. Gordon.
01:13:38Pick up a sword.
01:13:39Let's see who's the better man.
01:13:42Michael, you're crazy.
01:13:43Get down from there.
01:13:44He's out of his mind.
01:13:45What are you calling?
01:13:47Call security!
01:13:48There is no reason to call security.
01:13:49The man's just making a point.
01:13:51I just looked at the footwork of a man who's unsure of himself.
01:13:56I did this 40 years ago, and I fight the banter on a temple wall.
01:14:02That was your stunt double, Michael.
01:14:04Read your book!
01:14:05I could have done it myself.
01:14:07But I can still.
01:14:10Not the man I was, indeed.
01:14:13I can still.
01:14:14That's it.
01:14:15Oh, God.
01:14:25Please don't be dead.
01:14:26Please don't be dead.
01:14:30For years of me?
01:14:40When it comes to this job offer, you have to do what you have to do.
01:14:43Me, I came to work for Miss Bennet 25 years ago this November.
01:14:49The hours are crazy.
01:14:50That woman's impossible.
01:14:52And the pay isn't much.
01:14:55Why do you stay?
01:14:57Because she's a good person.
01:15:00Gruff on the outside, but where it counts, she's the best I ever met.
01:15:05Yeah.
01:15:06You're not making this decision any easier on me, Wilma.
01:15:09You know that?
01:15:10I wasn't trying to.
01:15:13Good morning, Miss Bennet.
01:15:29It's Tuesday.
01:15:30Are we going for a hike in the park?
01:15:32I don't feel up to it today.
01:15:36Looking for inspiration?
01:15:37I'm, I'm sorry.
01:15:41I meant to, I was trying to do a portrait of Jimmy for the first time.
01:15:46I, I can't see his face.
01:15:49I can't remember his voice.
01:15:52He's just gone.
01:15:58Wilma tells me you have a job offer.
01:16:00Well, she shouldn't have said anything.
01:16:04Why?
01:16:05So I could wake up some morning and find you'd left me.
01:16:09Are you going to take the job?
01:16:12I'm not sure.
01:16:13Well, you can't be hanging around here, basking in my great good humor.
01:16:16Well, and if you're hoping for a raise.
01:16:20Actually, I, I thought that, that you'd be interested in an article in this morning's paper.
01:16:24Mr. Raymond is in the hospital.
01:16:26Well, I wish I could feel sorry for him, but I can't work up the energy.
01:16:31If you'll forgive me.
01:16:35What is it?
01:16:37If after a comment, fire away.
01:16:40Well, it's, it's just that, uh, that maybe you can't feel sorry for him.
01:16:45Because you're too busy feeling sorry for yourself.
01:16:47Who the hell are you to talk to me this way?
01:16:54If, uh, if you won't listen to me, Miss Bennett, then why don't you listen to them?
01:16:59Huh?
01:16:59Well, what would they say if they saw you this way?
01:17:04Well, they're gone.
01:17:06All of them.
01:17:08Well, people leave, Miss Bennett.
01:17:11It's a fact of life.
01:17:12Some people die.
01:17:14Some walk out.
01:17:14Some are pushed away.
01:17:16But we go on.
01:17:17Are, are you familiar with George Bernard Shaw?
01:17:20Oh, we weren't contemporaries, if that's what you mean.
01:17:25This is the true joy in life.
01:17:27The being used for a purpose, recognized by yourself as a mighty one.
01:17:34The being a force of nature, instead of complaining that the world would not devote itself to making you happy.
01:17:42That was my mother's philosophy.
01:17:48There.
01:17:48Well, you see, no one ever leaves completely.
01:17:57Well.
01:17:58How odd to find you in bed alone.
01:18:08Who do you want me in this condition?
01:18:10Let's face it, the number of those who would want us in any condition is diminishing daily.
01:18:16I heard what happened to you.
01:18:18I'm very damn foolish of you.
01:18:20I was trying to prove a point.
01:18:22I would say that the point proved too much for you.
01:18:26Smug as ever.
01:18:28I've forgotten a blasted smug you can be.
01:18:30Me?
01:18:32Smug?
01:18:32Contrary to your opinion of yourself, you were not perfect.
01:18:38I never claimed to be, unlike yourself.
01:18:40God's gift, be movies.
01:18:44Why did I come here in the first place?
01:18:46I'd like to know the answer to that myself.
01:18:48I guess it was to see that you're all right, but I see that you were worse than ever.
01:18:54A pity visit.
01:18:56I don't need that.
01:18:58You have the most annoying habit of twisting my words like circus balloons.
01:19:03Then say what you mean.
01:19:04All right, all right.
01:19:06You've had some bad luck.
01:19:07We all have from time to time, but we like those salmon.
01:19:10Either get up the river or don't get up the river.
01:19:14You and I, we've always been strong swimmers.
01:19:16So get out of that bed and get your life together.
01:19:21Are you finished?
01:19:24Quite.
01:19:27Then I have a gift for you.
01:19:29Over here, top door.
01:19:38Your book?
01:19:40The only copy I have.
01:19:42It's yours.
01:19:44To what purpose?
01:19:45Do whatever you want with it.
01:19:47Read it, burn it.
01:19:49Rat fish in it.
01:19:52I realize you're more important to me than any book.
01:19:56It's my decision.
01:19:58Yep.
01:19:59Hmm.
01:20:00This is the first noble thing you've done since I've known you.
01:20:04A little ink and paper?
01:20:06No, no great loss.
01:20:07But without this, what would you do for money?
01:20:11Well, I'll find something.
01:20:13By the way, I'm taking the train to Los Angeles in the morning.
01:20:17Time to see the country.
01:20:21Put things in perspective.
01:20:24Will you be back?
01:20:25I don't know.
01:20:28But man, it was good to see you.
01:20:35I, uh, I had to tell you that.
01:20:45I, uh, I'm doing it.
