Look at her laughing and waving when she

She's such a hypocrite.

It can't be. No, it's impossible.

Who? What? I'm not sure.

Oh, yes, yes. As they say these days,
I've now got four... the floor.

Wouldn't be at all surprised.

Maude, you look sensational.

And Vivian, you haven't changed a bit. I
mean, you are just as lovely and

girlish as the last time I saw you.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry. That really wasn't
fair of me.

I just happened to hit on one of
Vivian's erogenous zones.

Remember, Chuck, it is now a no -parking
zone.

Yes, yes, that's right.

Well, Viv, how is your marriage going?

What marriage?

Oh, Arthur's a doll.

Ah, a doll, a doll.

Well, as long as you're happy.

Oh, happy.

Another zone, Vivian? Don't you have any
dead spots?

Come on, how is good old Walter?

Oh, we couldn't be better. And Chuck,
you know something? He would love to see

you again. Oh, well, I'd love to see him
too, but you see, I'm in town on major,

major business. As a matter of fact, I
really have to split tomorrow night.

Look, tonight Arthur and Viv and a
couple of business acquaintances of

are coming over. Why don't you come over
too? Say seven -ish?

Well, um... Viv?

Oh, sure.

It's no hair off my chest.

I mean... That's all right. That's all
right. Oh, I see my business lunch has

just arrived. Oh. Very, very big oil man
from Texas. Very big.

Be right with you, Abdul.

please put these young ladies' check on
my tab.

Oh, well, thank you, Chad. Oh, you're
quite welcome.

And I'll, uh, see you this evening.

Yes. Ooh!

Oh, leaping lizards, what a doll.

He does look terribly erogenous.

I mean... And to think, to think I
divorced him because he was such a

loser.

I remember M &M's used to melt in his
hands.

Maude, you know, you know, all the time
I was married to Chuck, whenever he was

loving me up, I always felt that he was
kissing me but thinking of someone

else. And just now when he was sitting
here beside me for the first time, I

as if I was the someone else he was
thinking of.

I feel so wicked. Yeah.

Don't worry about it. Even in a man's
world, we women are allowed to

But I was brought up to believe that
thinking simply is as bad as doing.

Yeah, sometimes better.

Oh, Viv, you know, if I had a nickel for
every fantasy I ever had, I could buy

Paul Newman for two million five.

Why, I'm working out a deal right now.

in three seconds.

57 seconds to go. You think you can make
it, Arthur?

Oh, sure, easy. I can do that stand on
my head.

Don't bother, Arthur. I'll get it.

Oh, Chuck! Long time no see. It is great
to see you. You look terrific.

Chuck, I want you to meet Harry and
Ethel Plummer. How do you do? This is

Vivian's first husband, Chuck Cavender.
This is our first time in New York. Oh.

know the song. K -A -L -A -M -A. We've
heard it.

Nothing.

Arthur.

Well, how are you, Arthur?

Hi there, Chuck.

Forgive me if I don't get up.

Oh, it's quite all right. You made it,
Arthur. Five minutes.

What did I tell you, Harry?

Chuck, how about a drink? Why not?

Any Campari and soda?

minutes on your head.

You know, all of us should exercise.
Good for the heart, cholesterol, the old

love life, huh, Vivian?

Don't talk like that in front of Chuck.
We're not even married anymore.

Now, plumbers, you must come over here
and try this avocado dip.

Now, Vivian, you look very attractive in
that dress.

that I should explain. This is, in a
way, a reunion.

As you know, Chuck is Vivian's first
husband.

They met when I was married to Barney,
and then they got married about the time

that I married Chester.

And then, of course, when I married
Albert, well, the four of us used to go

vacations together, you know. And then
Viv married Arthur shortly after I

married Walter.

I know what you're thinking. Vivian has
had a pretty mixed -up life, hasn't she?

been divorced at least once, except
Arthur.

Right. But I was lucky. My first wife
died.

Chuck, come on. I don't believe it. You
never got over me. Oh, Viv.

If a little silver bell rang in your ear
every time I thought of you, your sweet

little head would forever tinkle.

say things like that.

I'm married.

What name over there might you use?

Okay, everybody, the rumaki is ready.

What's a rumaki? Oh, you little hunks of
liver with chestnuts and stuff. Maud,

Maud, guess what, guess what, guess
what?

Chuck wants me to have lunch with him
tomorrow.

Oh, great.

Have lunch with him. No, but what about
Arthur?

Vivian, women have arrived.

We head up corporations, we fly
airplanes, and we have lunch with our ex

-husband.

I just can't ask Arthur for permission.

And, you know, he's so old -fashioned.
When I undress at night, he turns our

picture of Blue Boy to the wall.

Then I'll ask him. Oh, and if you're
worried about Blue Boy, why don't you

him over here? Walter loves an audience.

Arthur. Arthur, is it all right if Viv
has lunch with Chuck tomorrow?

Well, he's a busy man.

Is it all right with you?

Um, certainly.

Well, I have no objection.

Excuse me.

Oh,

but you've been standing on your head
too long.

Why should I worry?

She told me she had no respect for
Chuck.

She told me she divorced him because
he's weak and nervous. The poor guy's a

born loser.

Okay, Viv, now you have a clear
conscience. If you run into anyone you

there's no need to feel embarrassed.

I don't think I'll run into anyone I
know. We're having lunch in Chuck's

room.

Vivian, I said we women have arrived.

We head up corporations, we fly
airplanes, and call it off immediately.

Why? It's just an innocent little lunch
in Chuck's motel room.

Vivian, when you feed the lion at the
zoo, you do not go into the cage with

Unless, of course, you're armed with a
chair and a whip, and I rather think

Chuck might like that.

And with the baby Olympic oysters, I
want a really piquant remoulade sauce.

Uh, some cheese, a camembert, nice,
runny, soft camembert, you know what I

And, um, some Dom Perignon champagne,
well chilled, of course. And be sure to

freeze the glasses and have it all up
here in exactly, uh, one hour. No, no,

no, Gino, one hour. And remember, Gino,
if the service is really bullseye, I'll

let you cater all my affairs.

Exactly what you're up to, exactly. A
fancy lunch, probably steak tartare.

Oysters. And a chocolate mousse for
dessert.

Camembert. A fancy red wine. Champagne.
You see, I had it all figured out down

to the last minute.

Chuck, I cannot believe you're doing
this. Oh, Maude. Now, come on.

Vivian's a big girl. She is not. She's
innocent.

Well, not exactly innocent. She's
inexperienced.

That isn't what I'm... Well, what is the
word? Dumb.

Incredibly attractive man. You can have
any woman you want.

Any woman?

Any woman. Why pick on poor Viv?

Now, look, I didn't have time to really
think things out. I have no prepared

speeches. This is all purely spur -of
-the -moment for Chuck, please.

As a favor to me, call off this date.

All right, Maud.

But what'll I say?

Here, I just happened to jot down a few
notes.

Believe me, Chuck, you'll like yourself
a lot better for having done this.

Oh, hello, Vivian. Chuck here.

I just called to confess that I am
lounging for you. Not lounging.

And because of that, I have to cancel
our luncheon. You are the most

irresistible woman in the world.

But I love you too much to endanger your
very happy marriage to Arthur.

However, know this, my love.

I will dream of you always.

Okay, I'll see you around.

How was that? Oh, it was wonderful,
Chuck. Thank you. You're a real

Oh, hey, wait a minute. Now, what's the
rush?

Oh, well, I really should get going,
Chuck. Oh, but couldn't you spare a few

minutes? I mean, just to sit and chat
about old times?

Ah, I guess I can spare a few minutes.

just thinking about that fabulous cruise
the four of us took to the Caribbean so

long ago, remember?

Oh, those crazy songs. So

much

for old times.

Maud, a moment ago you called me an
incredibly attractive man.

Do you really think I'm incredibly
attractive?

Yes, I... Really?

Well, I... I don't mean incredibly
attractive. I mean, I find you

reasonably attractive.

I never knew that.

Well, you see, Walter and I could never
quite figure out a way to put it on our

Christmas card to you.

Walter, my husband... It's funny that
you should bring up Christmas.

I thought I was bringing up my husband.

You know, when you mentioned Christmas,
I thought of that New Year's Eve party

at your house four years ago.

You were wearing this incredibly
attractive orange dress.

Chuck, you don't remember that.

Every fold.

Every curve.

Maude, you looked like dessert in that
dress.

No, I didn't.

You did? I did not.

You did?

I did.

But

at

midnight, when everyone was kissing
everyone else, I didn't kiss you.

Do you know why?

No, don't tell me.

What would happen if I did?

Shall we browse through the Bible?

No, Maud.

You in that incredibly attractive orange
dress.

At the oddest moments in the oddest
places.

That picture of you comes back to haunt
me.

Oh, come on, Chuck. You're joshing.

Maud.

If a little silver bell were to ring in
your ear, every time I

thought of you, your dear head would
forever tinkle.

You know, a month ago, I thought I had a
middle ear infection.

All the time it was you.

Chuck, you're really a very sensitive
human being. No, no, Maude, it's not me,

it's you.

You were that wonderfully sexy, low
voice of yours.

Oh, come on, it's not that sexy.

Oh, it's like Sophia Loren.

Grazie.

Now, wait a minute, wait a minute.
Chuck, Chuck, that may work with Vivian,

I have been rezoned. Not below!

I want that New Year's Eve kiss you owe
me, and more than that.

I want that fantastic creature in that
fantastic orange dress. Oh, come on now,

Chuck. What do I have to do?

Beat you off with a whip and a chair?

Hey!

Maude, we've wasted years.

Chuck, I really think that... No, no,
no, don't. Don't think. Don't think.

think.

Look, uh, Chuck, now listen.

There are times, Chuck, when an affair
would be just right. Oh, and this one

would be so right.

No, I mean, if a woman is unhappily
married, if she and her husband are

incompatible, then I say, yes, she
should have an affair.

By law.

But, Chuck, if a woman is happily
married, then there's no reason for an

And, Chuck, if there's no reason for an
affair, then it would be immoral.

Immoral. Yes. Yes.

Someone hysterically in a moment of
extreme passion.

Chuck, I am really sorry, but when you
kissed me, I thought of Walter.

Walter? Oh, Chuck, when I kiss you, I
think of Walter.

But when I kiss Walter, I think of Paul
Newman, so I'm better off kissing

Walter.

Chuck, I have a guy I love a lot. I
don't need anybody else.

But I'll tell you something.

I'll always love you for the compliment.

Oh, you know, it's really funny.

It's nothing like what I imagined it
would be.

You know what I mean? Kissing an
attractive man in a motel room.

Vivian.

She's perfect.

Vivian, this isn't what it looks like.

Now, I know what you would expect me to
do.

Walking in here and finding my best
friend in a motel room with my ex

You would expect me to jump up and down
and scream and throw things, wouldn't

you? That is what you would expect of
me, isn't it?

I guess the laugh's on me, isn't it?

Oh, come on. Now, Vivian, it was
totally... Vivian, nothing has happened.

Believe me.

Vivian, I am leaving Walter and having
Chuck's baby.

I just said that to get your attention.

Now, listen to me, Vivian. I came over
here...

Because I was deeply concerned about you
and your marriage, and that's all there

is to it. Look, this is what Chuck read
to you on the telephone.

But this is your handwriting.

You wrote this?

Oh, Maude, it's just beautiful.

I just called to confess that I am
lounging for it.

Well, that is true.

Chuck did kiss me, but, you know, I have
to tell you something so funny, Bill.

Do you know who I thought of when Chuck
kissed me?

I thought of Walter.

Oh, poop.

Do you want to know a funny coincidence?

The last year of my marriage to Chuck,
whenever he kissed me...

You have to kiss to think of me.

Oh, Chuck. Hey, Chuck.

Oh. Oh, Chuck. No, I'm sorry. Oh, honey.

No. Chuck, it's not your fault. Oh, no.
Listen, Vivian and I were just trying to

make you something you could never be. I
mean, it was just a fantasy.

But, but, but, honey, you still have
your fantasies. Why, you have your brand

new lifestyle and all the 50 new clothes
and that brand new Porsche outside.

Do you see it really is? It isn't so
bad, Chuck.

I'll get it.

Yeah?

Oh, when?

Uh -huh.

All right, I'll tell him.

Well, Chuck, I guess it just isn't your
day.

That was the manager. It seems somebody
stole your Porsche.
