Thank you.

Would you please pull over?

I'm not sure where I'm going.

Okay, say that again.

What do you mean my meeting with Bradley was two hours ago?

So where are we going now?

The temp got the time wrong?

Lucy, you know how important that meeting was. You should have taken care

You want to talk to me, lady? Hello, Lucy?

Just a minute.

Lucy, the phone's dying. I can't hear you.

Lucy? What?

No, I can't hear you. You're breaking up.

I didn't get the cat number.

Just call the company and report the guy.

Yeah, and cancel my credit cards, corporate and personal.

I have no purse, no money.

Shit.

That's right, the meeting tonight.

I just don't think I can.

Just see if you can cancel it.

Yeah, I'm serious.

Call me back.

Do you like a drink?

No, I don't drink.

Thanks. Coffee?

I'm really just waiting for a call.

Let me get your coffee while you wait.

Excuse me.

Could I get coffee for two, please?

Thanks.

I'd like money a lot.

I think

maybe

I should have asked for champagne under the circumstances.

You're not a regular?

No.

Actually, the coffee's a dead giveaway.

You know, I've always wondered why there weren't places like this for women.

Well, there are women here.

Quite possibly for the same reason.

That's very interesting.

I never thought of it that way.

It's rather a matter of what you can admit about yourself.

About what you want.

What I want?

Maybe you want more coffee.

Or maybe you do want champagne.

I have some in my suite.

You could have your call forwarded.

I don't think so.

So be it.

Is there a problem?

It's the coffee.

I just realized I don't have any money. I mean, not a cent. I'm... It's on my

tab.

Maybe I will have that champagne.

You do know that I'm not.

I mean... Like I say, the coffee is a dead giveaway.

Thanks.

It's lovely.

Don't talk, please.

Why? I'm not interesting enough for you?

I don't want to know anything about you.

The names?

Leap them on.

I've never done anything like this.

It's usually dinners, drinks, getting to know you, and... I'd like to see you

again.

Tuesdays and Thursdays will make it a regular thing.

Tomorrow's Tuesday.

Is that all right?

I've been trying to get a hold of Ellen Bradley about the meeting.

She won't return my calls.

She'll take my call.

You should have been here yesterday when she stormed out.

You're right.

I should have been.

Fired the temp.

Doesn't solve the problem, Jeremy.

Crisis. A problem.

Crisis.

Every lawyer I know would kill for an association with Ellen Bradley's office.

If she wants to move the meeting up a month from now, it means you're out of

running.

Laura?

Laura?

There's three other firms she could be looking at.

Two of them have no expertise in Europe. One of them does, and we're sharper

than they are.

Six months prepping this. All the money's gone into it, and we missed the

meeting.

What if we ask her to dinner?

Bernard, the coupe.

That's exactly what we do, isn't it?

It's predictable.

Maybe next time we see her, we should show up wearing clown suits.

You know what?

Fuck Ellen Bradley.

I'm serious.

I mean, fuck her. Fuck everything.

Quite an accent.

You wanted a whore.

I want one too.

What are you doing?

Nothing I can explain.

Helen Bradley moved the meeting up.

It's tomorrow.

What? She asked me to look over the European material, find some creative

solutions. We should do that tonight. I can't.

Why not? I have plans.

Laura, lately all you seem to have are plans. They got nothing to do with your

firm. What a formidable insight, Jeremy.

This is your company, Laura.

You set the tone here. You're throwing everybody off. Maybe it's just you I'm

throwing off.

Look, whatever it is, whoever it is you're obsessed with, there is no room

it, okay? Not here.

I should go, right?

Don't.

Not yet.

Do you want another drink?

No, thanks.

I really need to be on top of it tomorrow.

Otherwise what?

The sky will fall. The world will end.

Yeah, I know how that feels.

I didn't expect.

Neither did I.

So what do we do now?

Have dinner?

I can't even really look at you without it all seeming

too much.

Dinner would be impossible.

Yeah.

That's why you pay.

Yes, I suppose it is.

You forgot.

Tonight.

Did I?

Yeah.

See

you Thursday.

Yeah. The Ellen Bradley meeting is in your office.

Thanks.

Yes, I got him. The purple and red one, right?

Oh, yeah, he's very scary. He's big scary.

Yeah, okay, put the mummy back on the phone with you.

I know I'll be home

No,

I can hear how excited he is I can't wait to hear that I see

you

two have already met

Yes, we have.

I'm sure Laura's told you about the work we've been doing in the EU.

We've been working there for about seven years.

Did George tell you that he's having the European banking for the merger?

Sorry I'm late. I had to...

I'm just saying goodbye.

Because you're married?

You were in that bar a long time before you met me.

Yeah, I was. It's true.

I probably won't be again.

I love my wife.

You know what? I don't even want to hear about it. I really... I love my wife.

Sometimes I call her up and I don't say anything. I pretend to be a stranger.

It's not to frighten her. It's just because I want... I want her to show me

something different.

Something she doesn't normally show me, but she's always the same.

Because I know her.

And now I know you.

No, you don't.

We move in the same circles. We have the same attitudes. We probably vote for

the same party.

It kills everything, Laura.

Because you let it.

You don't know me.

By the time you get to know me, I will already be somebody else.

You'll just be George.

With your big house.

Like little family?

Playing stranger on the telephone?

What is that, George?

Shut up.

You're just a family man, George.

You don't know me.

What if I don't know you either?

Can you do that?

It's a tight -ass bank.

What would a bull breaking lion about it?
