Original subtitles

This is my boss,

Jonathan hart, a self-made millionaire.

He's quite a guy.

This is Mrs. H. She's gorgeous.

She's one lady who knows how to take care of herself.

By the way, my name is Max.

I take care of both of them,

which ain't easy, 'cause when they met...

It was murder.

[♪♪]

You're late, Fred.

I-I promise, you'll get the money.

You needed $100,000 with no collateral

and we lent it to you when no one else would.

And at 10 percent interest.

Ten percent interest?

Some loan. Ten percent a week.

You knew what our interest rates were when you signed the contract.

My, my, my.

What a tragic commentary

on the world's money market, isn't it?

The once-respected wall street financier

makes a few judgmental errors

and, uh...

Pshhh...

Mr. Flowers,

you'll get your money.

I promise. Just give me...

Give me one more month.

I swear, you'll get it.

You're swearing on your life, Fred.

With interest, $150,000.

Thirty days.

Just 30 days. I-I-I promise you'll get it.

Because pat has done some work for us in the past

and apparently likes you,

we'll bend company policy...

For her.

Mr. Nichols,

make sure Fred keeps his word, hmm?

[Grunts]

Pat, make sure he pays in 30 days,

or you'll both find we employ

some unusual banking practices.

[Door closes]

[Pat] Fred, we're packing.

I am not waiting for a return visit.

Wait, just wait.

I'll get the money.

I've worked for the syndicate.

If they're not paid, we're both dead.

Wait. See these four men?

They're the key to the money.

I see you. Who are the others, your fellow bank robbers?

Oh, no. No, they're all gentlemen,

toasting Jonathan hart at his bachelor party.

There's Cyrus St. cyr,

Arthur radner,

and Jonathan hart.

The Jonathan hart? You know him?

Let's say I knew him.

Well, what's he going to do, give you the money?

Yes.

Only he doesn't know it.

[Chuckles]

[Telephone rings]

Hello.

Who's calling, please?

Just a minute.

It's for you. Irene day.

Irene day?

Irene day.

I don't know her.

Well, neither do I.

Hello, this is Jonathan hart.

[Click, dial tone hums]

She hung up. She did?

Mm-hmm. Hmm.

Who's Irene day?

I don't know.

There's Irene bordoni, she works on my payroll.

No. She said "day." Hmm.

Oh, wait a minute. I knew an Irene once.

Irene darrow.

I dated her before you and I met.

Irene darrow got married and became Irene day.

That's Irene day.

Oh.

The people we dated.

Oof. Mm.

Irene darrow.

As I recall,

she was gorgeous, wasn't she?

Uh-huh.

Hmm.

What about Andy?

Andy?

Andy segrin.

Do you ever hear from him?

Andy segrin? Yeah, Andy.

[Laughs] Oh, darling, don't be silly.

No.

He was gorgeous, wasn't he?

He always thought so.

[Chuckles]

But, darling, when I close my eyes,

I only think of you.

And when I close my eyes,

I only think of you.

And when Andy closes his eyes,

he only thinks of...

[Both] Andy.

[Both chuckle]

Good night, Andy.

Good night, Irene.

[Both chuckle]

[Jonathan] This is really great, Arthur. You've done a wonderful job.

Well, Jonathan, we should be tooled up ready to go into production in a month.

Yeah, it looks like you'll be on schedule as well.

[Knock on door] Mm-hmm.

Free, darling?

Hey. Am I?

Hi. What a surprise.

Jennifer, good to see you.

Oh, we haven't seen you and Helen for ages.

We've gotta get together for dinner, no excuses.

I'll make the excuses.

Arthur is going to be in Milan

opening up our new plant for the next month.

Oh. Well, as soon as you come back, just the four of us.

Jennifer, I-I don't think I've told you yet, uh...

Well, actually, I haven't told anybody, but...

Helen and I have split up.

I don't believe it.

Well, uh, Arthur, what's it been?

Uh, ten years or so?

What happened? Oh, it's been brewing.

She's living up in a retreat in Wyoming.

A retreat?

Helen met this yoga instructor

at an herb tea seminar.

Before long I wasn't spiritual enough for her.

Well, maybe you two will work it out

and get back together again. Mm-mm.

No, I don't think so.

Helen and her new boyfriend

get these spasms of materialism,

so they've hired this Beverly Hills attorney

who plans to leave me with one TV dinner

and the clock radio.

It's all right.

Arthur, you know, if, um...

If there's anything you need at all, Jennifer and I

will be happy to help you in any way.

We really mean that. Thanks.

You know, I envy the two of you.

A marriage like yours,

it's one in a million.

We're not that unique. [Chuckles]

Well, with the exception of you two,

who do we know from the old days that are still together?

Well...

Well, there's, uh, Phyllis and Eddie.

Yes. Uh-uh.

They're broken up. [Jennifer] They did?

Mm-hmm. Harry and Rachel.

Oh, no. They got separated.

- They did? - Yes.

The carringtons.

They filed for divorce. [Jennifer] You're kidding.

Mm-mm.

Well, I guess the odds of a lasting marriage

aren't really very good, are they?

Well, we're just a couple of long shots, hmm?

Yeah. [Both chuckle]

Arthur, thanks very much.

You did a wonderful job. Have a great trip.

Good, Jon. See you in a month.

Jennifer, nice seeing you.

Bye-bye. Bye.

Oof. Yeah.

Um, darling, there's something I wanna talk to you about.

- You do? - [Knock on door]

Come in.

Excuse me, uh, these were just delivered.

Oh, darling, you shouldn't have.

Darling, um, I didn't.

I'm sorry, Mrs. Hart. The card is for Mr. Hart.

Thanks.

I wonder who sent those.

What does the card say?

"To Jonathan. Love, Irene day,

or Irene darrow, take your pick."

I would've picked carnations for a man.

Well, this is really interesting.

First she calls, then hangs up.

And now these.

I think you ought to have a word with her, darling.

Well, that's what I wanted to talk to you about.

What?

This came in my morning mail from her.

[Jennifer] Cashmere. Your size.

I tried to return it,

but, uh, there was no answer

at the number I last had for her.

Well, I have a feeling she'll be calling you again soon.

But what I can't figure,

is what she wants after all of these years.

[Jazz music playing]

Hello, Claude. Hello, Mrs. Hart.

What a pleasure to see you.

Mr. Hart is waiting. Ah.

Right this way.

[Woman] Jennifer, sweetheart.

Claire.

How are you?

Good. Oh, say hello to George Christy.

I'm sure you've read his column.

Of course. [Christy] What a pleasure.

[Claire] Who are you meeting? Jonathan.

Mr. Hart? That's hardly hot gossip I can use.

I'm sorry about that. It's nice to have met you.

[Claire] Bye-bye. See you.

I've seen them at so many affairs together.

The inseparable harts.

Hello, darling, I'm sorry I'm late.

Have you been waiting long?

Mm-hmm. Oh.

As a matter of fact, I have.

So I, um, started without you.

I've got a 2:00 meeting.

Couldn't you call the office and have them push it back?

Well, some of the fellows have 4:00 connections

to make on airplanes. Oh.

You know, if you were gonna be this late, you could've called me.

We don't have too much time.

I'm sorry. I-I suppose I should,

but it doesn't really happen very often.

It's happened before. Well, not that often.

Besides, the phone kept ringing, I couldn't get out of the house.

I'm not blaming you, it's just been

rather a difficult day.

It hasn't been a very good day for me, either.

How's that?

Honest?

I wasn't delayed by the phone at all.

It was the mail.

This arrived.

It's me with Irene darrow.

I recognize you.

You don't think that I'm really having

an affair with Irene day, do you?

Hmm?

Are you sure?

[Jonathan] Don't you believe me?

[Jennifer] I'm trying to,

but it's not very easy

after the phone call, the flowers,

the gift, and this.

I can only take so much.

I went with this woman for several years.

This could be an old photograph. Did you ever think of that?

I thought of that.

But you're wearing your wedding ring,

so it was after.

Excuse me, would you care for some wine, Mrs. Hart?

No, no, thank you.

Jonathan, I'm not a suspicious person,

you know that.

You've never given me any reason to be.

Until now.

Until now.

All I want is a simple explanation

for why, all of a sudden, there's all this attention.

Why would Irene day want to make me jealous?

You can't be jealous.

Why not?

You cannot be jealous.

Aren't I entitled to have a human emotion?

[Claude] Uh, excuse me.

Would you care to order now, Mrs. Hart?

Yes. I'd like my car.

What happened? Did you order lunch to be delivered?

I lost my appetite.

Max, take Mrs. Hart wherever she wants to go.

I'll take her car.

I'm perfectly capable of driving myself.

You take Mr. Hart.

He has a very important appointment at 2:00.

What's up between you two?

Ask him. Perhaps he'll explain it to you.

He wouldn't explain it to me.

[Revs engine]

[Max] Mr. H...

[Tires screech]

[Jonathan] Yeah? [Max] It's me, let me in.

"And asking for separate checks at l'orangerie

were the Jonathan harts.

This oddsmaker gives the once-happy couple 6-to-5

and a Vegas farewell."

If you can't believe George Christy,

who can you believe?

I believe it.

Fred, I was jailed once

for my innovations in stereophonic sound.

Hey.

Don't worry.

Hopefully, we won't have to camp out here much longer.

Mr. and Mrs. H,

I gotta have a serious talk with both of you.

I said what I had to say at lunch.

Mrs. H, you talk to me. I got some questions.

I have nothing more to say, I'm exhausted.

I'm going upstairs to take a shower.

What's on your mind, Max?

What's on my mind? [Both] Shh.

You two in a catfight,

me coming home alone in a cab.

And now a community cleanup.

Oh, I got the shower on

to cover up any little bugging devices.

You see, that fight at the restaurant was staged.

Wait a minute, Mrs. H,

I hate to come in in the middle of this picture.

A couple of days ago, I wanted to send

that needlepoint rug downstairs to the cleaners.

I picked it up and I discovered the first bug.

And we looked high and low and we found a few more bugs.

Bugs in the rug, huh? But who?

Judging from the way they got in the house,

they're real pros. Mm.

Last week, a lady came from the phone company

and gave me a sales pitch

about phones in designer colors.

She toured the house, thanks to me.

Well, don't blame yourself, Max. It's not your fault.

But who would wanna see you two break up?

[Jennifer] That's what we'd like to find out.

You see, there's been a very interesting series of events.

First, there was a phone call for Jonathan,

and she hung up.

Then there was a gift for Jonathan,

then there were some roses for Jonathan.

And then today there was a photograph of Jonathan,

doctored, with one of his old girlfriends.

Obviously money. It's a blackmail ploy.

No, no, we thought about that, Max.

Nobody's asked for a dime, not one dime.

But why'd you have that fight at the l'orangerie?

Because we go there all the time with our friends.

There's a social columnist there who's got a regular table.

If we could create some gossip,

it might get into the newspapers.

You mean, you wanted them to think you were breaking up.

How else can we find out who they are and what they want from us? Don't you see?

I was climbing on the wall.

Why didn't you let me in on it?

Well, we wanted to, but we figured

if we could convince you, we could convince them.

I was convinced.

Now, remember, we're breaking up.

I got it.

Hey, you're not gonna throw the new China, are you?

Not at you, Max.

[Jennifer through bug] Jonathan,

I've known so many couples whose marriages haven't lasted,

I never dreamed that our marriage would be in jeopardy.

[Jonathan] I don't consider it in jeopardy.

[Jennifer] I may be old-fashioned

but I never thought either of us would stray.

All I'm saying is that in this day and age,

no one is faithful forever. That's all I'm saying.

A-ha! So you are admitting to having an affair.

[Gasps]

[Jonathan] Certainly, I'm not admitting to having an affair.

All I'm saying is that you're being terribly victorian

about the whole situation.

Victorian? Yes.

Take this!

[Telephone rings] I'll get it.

Hello? [Claire] Jennifer?

Oh, Claire. Hi.

How are you... what?

Well, I'm fine,

but what's with you and Jonathan lately?

Oh, uh, frankly, I don't really know.

[Mouthing]

I think maybe he's having the, uh, seven-year itch

a little early.

Well, look, you can't stay home and dwell on it.

Come have dinner with me.

Oh, Claire, I don't know if I'm up to it right now.

Come on.

Just the two of us.

Some good, old-fashioned girl talk?

I'll meet you tomorrow night at pod & Jerry's.

Pod & Jerry's, isn't that a singles place?

Well, I'm single.

Besides, sweetheart,

what's good for the goose...

Is worth a gander.

I'll be there.

All right. I'll see you tomorrow.

Bye.

Jennifer, I couldn't help

but overhearing that conversation.

I will not have you going to a place like pod & Jerry's.

People go there alone, it's a singles place.

[Jennifer] Well, I have no intention of going there alone.

I'm going with Claire. [Jonathan] With Claire?

Yes. Well, then I'm turning in.

Well, don't wait up for me.

I'll be in the guest room.

Max made it up for me.

Max is siding against me?

It's not a conspiracy, Jonathan.

I just asked him to change the linens.

Freeway, you coming with me, you staying with him?

Good boy.

And stay out.

[Jazz music playing]

Well, let's see.

I've got the harts in separate bedrooms,

and a custody fight over their pooch.

Tomorrow night, she takes the final plunge

into the singles world.

Time for step number two.

Fred, you've kept me in the dark about this.

What is the second step?

A reunion with Jennifer hart.

She's a very attractive woman.

You better keep your distance.

Don't worry.

It's not a lasting relationship.

Anyway, I can't afford to have her remember me.

Not with $150,000 waiting for us.

Please, tell me,

who's got the money,

and what do the harts have to do with this?

You'll learn soon enough.

I've seen her before. Isn't she somebody?

That's Mrs. Jonathan hart.

Oh, right.

I saw her going into chasen's last month with her husband.

What's she doing here?

Guess she has one of those open marriages.

[Chuckles]

You've got, uh, three and one.

Uh, you know, sweetheart,

I might be a little bit premature,

but, um, Leon rapollo handled my divorce,

and he's just terrific.

Oh, Claire, come on.

Jonathan and I are just having a period of adjustment.

Ooh, look at that.

Well, if your adjustment

turns into a major overhaul,

you call Leon.

[Jennifer] All right.

You know, I think I'd better go check

on our dinner reservation. I'll be right back.

Double sixes. This is your lucky night.

Oh, is it? It is.

I'm Clifford leeman.

I like you.

Oh... would you like to stay up,

drink champagne and watch the sunrise with me?

No, I don't think so.

Please, and I can have Peter arrange

to have us a table in the alcove.

Well, that's very nice,

but, uh, I'm, uh, just waiting for my friend.

I'll have Peter get her a table too.

Oh, good, uh... We'll all have tables.

There's tables for everyone.

Just don't leave me. Stay here.

I'm not talking to anyone else tonight.

That's very kind of you,

but actually, I have to go call someone.

No, Jennifer, stay here. Let me sweep you off your feet.

Excuse me, sir.

It sounds to me as if the lady doesn't wish your company.

Uh, I don't think this concerns you.

I think it does because I don't like to see lovely ladies pushed around.

Well, that's very nice... no one is pushing a lady around.

I think you were pushing her around.

As you can plainly see,

the lady is not chained to the table and she is 21.

[Laughs] I'm not actually 21.

Don't do that. Don't do what?

Take your hand off my arm.

I'll take 'em off when we get outside.

I said, take your hand...

[Crowd gasps]

Come on, let's go.

[Siren wails]

All right, folks, break it up.

Stop it. Get off of him.

Get off me. Oh, let me go.

Let me go.

[Officer] All right, you two. Let's go.

What? I don't even know him.

Yeah, I've heard that... I was only trying to help.

You can call your lawyer from jail.

Claire, jail?

His name's Leon rapollo.

He does criminal law too.

[Indistinct radio transmission]

Hey, who's in there, Sinatra?

Some society dame got into a brawl and broke up the place.

[Officer] All right, move out.

Jennifer.

Hey, you're Jonathan hart.

Hold still.

Give us one we can sell to the morning papers, Mrs. Hart.

Pat.

It went beautifully inside.

I got it all on the outside.

Oh, a night in the city jail.

Oh, I'm so sorry, darling.

Do you know they took my mug shot?

Well, you got a beautiful mug.

They even fingerprinted me.

You've got beautiful fingertips.

[Chuckles]

Didn't they give you a tissue to wipe that off with?

Yes, but I was so angry I didn't use it.

Slow down a minute, darling.

Do you see that girl standing on the corner over there?

She was in the same tank as I was.

They let her out before me they let me out.

I bailed you out as fast as I could, darling.

You know, I just feel so badly

about having you be the bait.

Don't worry about it, darling. It wasn't your fault.

I wanted to do it.

Our relationship is just as important to me

as it is to you.

Well, at least the car isn't bugged.

We've got a couple of minutes before you have to drop me off at the office.

Now, what exactly happened at pod & Jerry's?

Mm. Well, there was a man there called, uh, Clifford leeman.

He tried to pick me up.

I tried to get away from him gracefully,

but he wouldn't hear of it.

Then there was another man who tried to help me.

Who was he? I don't know his name.

He left before I could get a chance to ask him.

But he did get leeman off of me.

You know something, he really did look familiar.

Darling,

how far are you prepared to go with our breaking up?

I don't know.

How far are you willing to go?

Well, I don't know.

I suppose the problem is, how far are they willing to go?

What is it, Max?

You got company. Ms. Day.

Call Jonathan at the office

and tell him to get over here as quickly as possible.

Miss day, hello.

Jennifer,

I haven't seen you since your wedding.

I'm sorry we have to meet

under such unfortunate circumstances.

Unfortunate?

Jonathan hasn't told you?

Told me what?

[Sighs]

Well,

we have to be adults about this.

[Sighs]

Jonathan and I are having an affair.

I...

You are?

Well, I'm not surprised he didn't tell you.

Boys will be boys. [Chuckles]

From what I read in the papers,

you're not sitting around like the rejected wife.

[Scoffs]

Well, I... I certainly do appreciate your candor.

Then you... You won't contest the divorce?

The divorce?

No. No.

[Chuckles]

No, as a matter of fact, our lawyers are talking right now.

Where is Jonathan?

Oh, hart industries has an executive apartment

for visiting businessmen.

I would have thought you would have known it.

Yes. Oh, oh.

Oh, y... it's... it's wonderful. You have great taste.

I'm awfully glad someone has.

Well, maybe i... I shouldn't have come.

Excuse me.

I tried to contact you as fast as possible

so you could confront her in person.

Yeah, well, darling, it wasn't Irene.

- How do you know? - Because I traced

the elusive Irene darrow.

She is, uh, happily married

to an Australian sheep rancher.

Well, she certainly looked like the Irene in the picture.

Maybe she was figuring you wouldn't recognize her

not knowing her well, but what I can't figure out

is why they've gone to all this trouble

when they haven't even asked us for a dime?

Look, Mrs. H, you're on page three.

Hey. What an awful picture.

No, I think that's cute. Oh, really.

I'm glad the phones were working

so we could get through to you at the office.

Why, were they cut out before? I'm not sure.

You see, there's been a repair truck

parked down the street off and on lately.

Yeah, I saw that truck when I came in.

A telephone repair truck?

[Jennifer] Didn't you say someone was here

from the telephone company last week?

Professional bugging equipment.

It's time we gave the telephone company a ring of our own.

Let's take a look at that truck. Here, Max.

So he's moved out on her, huh?

It's almost time to collect.

Hey.

[Tires screech]

[Tires screech]

[Siren wails]

Did you see his license number?

Yeah, 1z3 1966.

Funny, the weatherman predicted only partial clouds.

[Cork pops] [Pat] Another bottle, Fred.

You can't keep that money

a secret from me forever, you know.

No.

Just until I win my bet.

Oops.

So...

It was a bet, Fred.

Well,

more of a pool,

like a ship's pool.

Here, I'll show you.

Hang on, hang on, hang...

[grunts]

You wait. Wait right there.Okay.

Just... just... just wait.

Hey.

I've got something to show you.

Ah. Yeah.

You've shown me this, I've seen it. What... what does it mean?

It was Jonathan hart's bachelor party.

The night before he married Jennifer Edwards.

What is the pool?

Oh, well, see, Jonathan went home first.

Some of us stayed around and had a few more drinks.

And we... we started talking

about how few marriages last these days.

And Cyrus St. cyr... This... this fellow right here.

He's a divorce lawyer, and came up

with some pretty grim statistics about the whole thing.

And then he jokingly said, "I'll bet that marriage doesn't last five years."

And Arthur radner, this guy,

he said, "oh, they're so much in love.

It has to last."

Well, we had a couple more rounds,

and Cyrus...

He whipped out his checkbook and said,

"I'll bet that marriage doesn't last five years."

And I said, "well, I bet it makes it five years,

but it doesn't go 10."

And Arthur radner said,

"I'll bet anything it goes forever.

Well, at least 10 years."

You made a bet on how long the harts would stay together?

We each wrote a check for $50,000.

Gave it to Cyrus, he cashed them and holds them in his bank.

And winner takes all.

If you bet the right numbers.

Fred, Mr. Flowers is coming to get the money on Friday.

By that time, I'll have the harts separated,

but Mr. Flowers won't get a penny of it.

What?

They'll kill you.

And me.

No, we'll be packed by that time

and out of the country, they'll never find us.

Fred, they find people.

Please, pay him.

Don't you understand?

My ship has come in.

We're sittin' pretty with $150,000.

Wonderful.

All the money is ours.

You get some rest, okay?

Get some rest.

Get some rest.

[Moaning]

[Whispering] Is Mr. Flowers there, please?

Fred?

Mr. Flowers, it's pat.

Listen, Fred wasn't lying to you.

He had a way of getting the money to you.

It's the damnedest bet you ever heard.

But he's not gonna turn the money over to you.

I am leveling with you.

Well, I wanna stay alive, even if he doesn't.

Thanks. Yes, I understand.

Fifty thousand is my share, and I'm back at work in the home office.

Thanks.

Thanks, Mike.

[Detective] Jonathan, I'm glad you called me.

That license plate number you gave me

was a phony all the way.

What do you mean?

The truck had no connection with ma bell.

It was rented from a legitimate firm.

Probably repainted.

By someone called pat yankee.

Never heard of her.

Recognize this?

[Jennifer] That's the girl that came to the house.

[Detective] She also spent three years in the slammer.

Worked for the syndicate.

She was charged with illegal wiretapping.

You mean, organized crime has a stake in our marriage?

All right, that's it. Look, I'll make the arrest.

I assume the wiretapping had to do with blackmail?

If we were being blackmailed,

we would've called you in weeks ago.

Well, then what crimes were committed?

Disorderly conduct, reckless driving.

Unfortunately, we did those.

Have you got an address on this pat yankee?

Yeah, but without any concrete evidence...

I know you can't do anything about it,

but we could have a chat with her.

Hmm?

That beautiful smile of yours

certainly helped to get passkeys.

Not to mention the $50 you gave him.

Somebody was certainly in a hurry to get out of here.

Look at all these pictures.

These are our wedding pictures.

Wedding pictures? What are they doing here?

[Jonathan] Irene. [Jennifer] Huh.

The resemblance is uncanny, isn't it?

She certainly is making a hit on Cyrus St. cyr.

[Thump]

[Jonathan] That's right, lieutenant.

Yes, I would say it was murder.

I think you'd better get some of your fellows down here.

It's apartment 8a.

Thanks very much, herschel. Bye-bye.

Oh, darling.

Our wedding photographs.

It certainly does bring back memories.

Look at this.

There's Arthur and old Cyrus.

How about this for an idea?

Take old Cyrus out of Irene day's embrace.

Stick a new picture of me in.

A little photographic retouching,

and you've got me with Irene day.

That would be enough to make you jealous, wouldn't it?

It certainly would.

But you already traced Irene day to Australia,

where she's living happily without a motive.

And Arthur's been in Milan for the last month.

He has no motive.

So that leaves old Cyrus.

Mm-hmm.

Darling, isn't this a picture of your bachelor party?

Yeah.

Who's that?

[Jonathan] Fred brunis.

I forgot he was at the wedding.

I haven't seen him in years.

[Sighs]

I have.

He's the man that rescued me the other night at pod & Jerry's.

Are you sure? I'm positive.

I thought I recognized him.

This is getting a little too coincidental for comfort.

You know, maybe Arthur's kept in touch with him,

but he's on a 10-hour flight back from Italy.

We'll have to wait till tomorrow to talk to him.

Darling,

speaking of waiting,

as long as we have to wait for the police, can't we wait in the lobby?

Yeah.

That's a good idea, sweetheart. Come on.

[Knock on door]

[Jonathan] Come in.

Jonathan.

Hello, Arthur. Welcome back.

Hope you had a good trip. Hello, Arthur.

Uh, Jennifer, am I interrupting?

No.

Uh, thanks for the limo at the airport.

The driver said you wanted to see me at once.

Yes, I do. Um...

[Arthur] Jonathan...

Um, it's no secret.

Everybody on the floor is talking about it.

Well, it's, uh...

True.

We're just going over the legal arrangements now.

Not you two.

What happened?

I'll explain it to you on Friday when we have lunch.

[Arthur] I see.

What did you wanna talk to me about?

Well, what I wanna know is, um,

do you know where Fred brunis is?

Brunis?

Uh, wh-wh-why do you wanna speak to him?

Are his whereabouts some kind of secret?

No. No.

Uh,

as a matter of fact, uh, on my way over here,

there was a message from Fred.

He said, uh,

something about us getting together.

You know, the old crowd.

Nobody told me about that.

Well, it's probably not set yet.

I'm sure you'll be invited.

There's no reconciling the two of you?

I'm afraid not.

I'm shocked.

I was counting on it.

Counting on what, Arthur?

You two.

Counting on you two.

I'm very sorry.

Whoo.

Did you see how nervous he got when I mentioned Fred brunis?

I thought he was gonna break out into a cold sweat.

I think Arthur is lying about something.

Do you think the two of them are in this together?

Well, I'm definitely sure about one thing.

I was not invited.

Oh, and I know how you hate to be left out.

Mm-hmm. So wherever Arthur goes, we go.

Mm.

[Bell tolls]

Ah.

Arthur, Arthur. Right on time.

Cyrus, how are you? It's been a few years, hasn't it?

Hasn't it though, yes.

Fred brunis phoned me with the news.

I must say, I wasn't surprised.

The harts' troubles were no secret

from the press, you know.

Well, it surprised me. I don't understand it.

I left the country only a month ago.

They seemed so happy.

[Brunis] ♪ bum, bum bum, bum, bum ♪

♪ bum, bum bum, bum, bum ♪

♪ and get me to the church on time ♪

[Chuckles]

[Cyrus] Okay, okay, don't rub it in.

The only thing worse than a sore loser

is a sore winner. Hello, Fred.

The lucky man.

Isn't it fitting that we have this reunion here,

the church where the harts were wed?

It's rather tasteless of you, Fred, don't you think?

Oh, come now, Arthur.

Don't be a spoilsport.

Gentlemen, have you heard that Jonathan hart

is now living in his company's apartment?

I don't know their exact living arrangements,

but I have spoken to the harts.

You've won.

A hundred and fifty thousand dollars.

Congratulations.

I'll throw in the case.

[Chuckles]

Well, we started this whole thing over a drink.

Shall we?

[Cyrus] Oh, Jonathan, old bean.

Jonathan, Jennifer.

What are you doing here?

I gather my bachelor party

got down to some rather bizarre toasting after I left.

Gentlemen's wager.

[Scoffs] I'm not so sure you all are gentlemen.

There was only one person who knew that I was living in my corporate apartment.

Fred, we found the pictures you used

to start the jealousy game.

Game?

[Jennifer] Games, Fred.

Like those hidden microphones

planted by miss yankee, your partner in crime.

[Jonathan] Who we found.

She was murdered.

We found the body, Fred.

Now, that's not very gentlemanly.

[Gun cocks]

She wanted to double-cross me.

Wanted to get back in with the mob.

They're not getting the money

and neither are you.

Now, don't move.

Don't move.

You're a loser.

[Women grunt]

[Grunting]

Reverend,

maybe you'd better give this man

his final blessing.

[Jazz music playing]

Hello, Claude. Hello, Mrs. Hart.

What a pleasure. Mr. Hart is waiting.

Right this way, please.

I'm sorry I'm late. Have you been waiting long?

Yes, I have. I've got a 2:00 meeting

and some of the fellows have to make 4:00 connections.

Oh. So I started without you.

Did, uh...

Did your friend Irene ever start without you?

My friend Irene ever start without me?

My friend Irene never started with me.

Oh. Oh.

What about Andy?

Ah, gorgeous Andy. Yeah, gorgeous Andy.

Andy could get started all by himself.

Nuts? Oh, he certainly was.

Mm.

You know, I think that there's just some things

that you and I have to start together.

Hmm, and finish.

Definitely.

And finish.
