? What would you say

? If I told you things
had never changed and...

? We II find a way

? To take our dreams and rearrange them

? Who d believe?

? That we could be in love again?

? So let s just pretend

? That you and me can be

? Just good friends ?

Oh, thank God. I thought
it was somebody important.

No, it's only me.

Oh, no. What s wrong now?

- There s nothing wrong?
- So why the designer sack cloth?

Elaine, there is nothing wrong.
I'm fine. Really.

What do you mean,
designer sack cloth?

This little number cost me 3,500 francs.

That s... well, �350,
give or take a centime.

It's from the Yves Saint-Laurent
funeral collection.

- This is considered very chic in Paris.
- But you re not in Paris now.

Please, don't remind me.

Oh, why did I ever come home?

Did it have anything to do
with the managing director s telegram,

saying, 'Get your arse
back here immediately'?

Well, that may
have influenced my decision.

Oh.

I was so happy over there.

I had my own work,
my own clients, my own ideas.

Now I've been pulled back here
as a stopgap

for someone else's campaign.

'Say I love you with a Caress.'

God!

Have you seen some
of the ingredients in this junk?

We are supposed to persuade parents

to give this crud to their offspring
as a sign of affection.

We re supposed
to convince kiddie-winkies

that this cholesterol time bomb
is a token of friendship.

Say 'I love you' with 58g of animal fat,

emulsifiers, calcium sulphate,

citric acid, E102, E124,

E322, E100, and crocin.

How s this for a new slogan?

Tooth-rotting,
artery-blocking, heart-stopping.

Say 'drop dead' with a Caress.

(Chuckles) That's very good.

- Why don't you suggest it to them later?
- Who?

The people
from the King Herod chocolate factory.

They re meeting you at 12.

Are they? Oh, God.
Is that my only appointment?

No, in about five minutes
you have Ms Georgina Marshall

from V�ronique Fashions.

They asked for you by name.
You were recommended.

That should make you happy.

Yes, it does. I'm happy.

Well, I d hate to be around
when you hit a low point.

Look, why don't you tell me
what s happened, hmm?

Otherwise I'll have to start prying

and going through your handbag
when you re out of the room.

Oh, look, it's very silly
and very boring.

I see. It's a man.

Mm-hm.

I should have guessed.

The last time
I saw you like this was...

well, years ago
during the reign of thingamabob, Vic.

- Vince.
- Mmm.

So, who is it this time?

Vince.

- But I thought...
- So did I.

But... Well, I mean, how?

Well, he kind of came over to Paris
for the weekend

and kind of stayed at my place.

OK, so he stayed at your place.
Why the big depression?

Has he lost his touch?

On the contrary.
He s gained something.

This I've got to hear.

He s gained a wife.

- Vince?
- Mm-hm. Got married about a year ago.

I don't believe it.

What happened to his phobia
about wedding cakes?

He must have been
to a faith healer.

Did he tell you he was married?
No, of course not.

No, Vincent hasn't changed in that way.

He s still captain of the British liars.

So, what did you do?

Well, what could I do? It had happened.
I couldn't turn the clock back.

So I simply decided
never to see him or talk to him again.

And I mean never.

So you saw him last night?

Well, he wanted me
to hear his side of the argument.

How many times have I told you?
Men don't have sides to arguments.

Shut up.
He took me to this flat.

- I'm not hearing this.
- Will you listen?

We needed to be somewhere private
so he could talk and I could ignore him.

Anyway, Vince had to go out
to buy some drink so...

I had a little look round the flat,
purely out of interest, you understand.

Well, it took me back
to all those years before our wedding.

Vince and I were buying a flat.

We used to call it our first home.

We used to discuss
the decorations and furniture

and try and imagine what
it would look like when it was finished.

It never was finished.
At least, not for us.

Well, I hated him last night.

I hated him for all the ways
he finds to hurt me.

And do you know
what hurt me the most?

I've no idea. I mean,
it's perm any four from ten, isn't it?

It was that flat.

I kept thinking,
he could do this for her but not for me.

Well, I found myself in the bedroom.

And there was this wardrobe filled
with made-to-measure suits and shirts.

Well, at that moment
I hated Vincent rotten Pinner

more than I d ever hated him before.

I wanted to get even.
I wanted revenge and...

Oh, Elaine. I took a pair of scissors
and I cut all the clothes into pieces.

You did what?

I hacked away at every piece
of clothing in that wardrobe.

I cut lapels off overcoats,
sleeves off suits, and collars off shirts.

- Atta-girl!
- Oh, it was such a mess.

But I bet you feel better for it.

Yes, wonderful.

Come on, Penny. He deserved it.

No, but you don't understand.

I found out later
that it wasn't Vince's flat.

It was his best man,
Lennie what's-his-name's flat.

Vince had borrowed it
for a couple of hours.

You cut poor Lennie what's-his-name's
clothes to pieces?

- I didn't know.
- Does Lennie what's-his-name know?

It's difficult not to know when your
wardrobe s been put through a shredder.

Oh, what can I do?

Well, wear something plain, like that.

Don't put any make-up on.

Redden your eyes
as if you've been crying

and throw yourself on the mercy
of the magistrate.

Oh, God!

(Knock at door)

(Both) Oh!

- Can I help you?
- Georgina Marshall, V�ronique Fashions.

Of course. Do come in.

Penny,
Ms Marshall, V�ronique Fashions.

Oh, hello. Nice to meet you.

Er, yes.

Um, do sit down, please.

Thank you.

(Sobs)

Hay fever.

(Doorbell)

Hello, Len. What do you want?

Got yourself another old bag?

We need to talk.

Of course. Come in.

Don't say a word.

Fine.

Thank you.

Just what I've always wanted,
a pile of old rags on my floor.

- That is not a pile of old rags.
- I'll tell you what, Len.

It don't half look like a pile of old rags.

That is my entire wardrobe.

That s my suits,
my shirts, my coats, everything.

And I'm still paying
2.5% interest on that lot.

I'd take it back if I were you.

I don't believe him.

You borrowed my flat last...
She's not here, is she?

- No, she's at work.
- Thank God for that.

Amen.

- You borrowed my flat last night, right?
- Yeah.

You took the mad lady back there.

So?

When me and Angie left the flat,
my clothes were in perfect condition.

When we returned four hours later,
this what we found.

Now think very carefully, Vincent,

have you any idea
what might have caused this?

Moths?

Yeah, a bloody great big nutty moth
called Penelope Warrender.

Why would Penny ruin your clothes?

I don't know.

It must have been her.
Did you leave her alone in the flat?

No. Well, only for a couple of minutes
when I popped down the off-licence.

Oh, I see it all now, Len.

She got a bit bored and naturally
went into someone else s bedroom

and ripped all their clothes up.

Well, we've all done it
at one time or another.

Have you got a better explanation?

Now, this may sound a bit far-fetched,
Leonard, but please hear me out.

Have you ever heard of a thing called...

acid rain?

Oh!

Well, I'm sorry. It's early.
It's the best I can do.

Hold on. Did you tell her it was my flat?

I can't remember what I said.
What are you getting at?

What I'm getting at is this.

If you didn't tell her,
she might have thought it was your flat.

She might have thought
it was your bedroom,

your clothes she was doing
the chainsaw bleeding massacre on.

It's beginning to make sense now, Len.

She can be a very strange girl at times.

Oh, well, we've got to the bottom of it.
Want a coffee?

A coffee!

Vinnie, these are the only things I've got.

I'm in business.
I've got people to meet.

Treat yourself to a new wardrobe.

Yeah, ta.

Look, Vince,

this wasn't the real reason
I came round here.

I mean, the money s not important.

There ain't enough there anyway.

When me and Angie
got back to the flat last night

and discovered the disaster area

that was once my wardrobe,

- I got rather...
- Childish?

Upset.

I went and told Angie
what had happened.

I told her you and Penny
had borrowed the flat.

What could I do?
She thought we d been vandalised.

- She wanted to call the police.
- Is that all you told her, Lennie?

- Yeah.
- Lennie!

Well, I did sort of mention

that you and Penny
had bumped into each other in Paris.

That's all I said.
I didn't give any details.

You just bumped into each other,
that's all.

You do realise that your girlfriend
and my wife are best friends?

Yeah, but I made her swear
to keep her mouth shut, Vince.

- She took an oath on it.
- So she's bound to tell her.

- Oh.
- Sorry.

Do you realise what this means?

My wife will be seeking revenge.
She might pack her bags and walk out.

Or she might be really cruel and stay.

This could result in divorce proceedings
and me losing half my business,

this flat and my car.

I could end up losing nigh on everything
I've worked and swindled for.

Still...

it's a nice day for it, isn't it?

Thank you.

Now, this is the device used
by many of the French fashion houses.

They place a black and white ad
in a full colour magazine.

They feel it catches the eye,
comes as a surprise to the readers

and therefore has more impact.

Yes, that s quite interesting.

Well, I felt that
with the obvious quality of your clothes,

we shouldn't be seen to be advertising.

Oh, of course, we will be advertising,

but in such a way as to suggest
that the clothes speak for themselves.

In other words,
no gimmicks or slogans,

just a straightforward
black and white print

and the name of your company
at the bottom, that's all.

Tell me, are you keen on fashion?

Yes, I'm keen on fashion.

Living in Paris as I normally do,
one can be nothing but keen on fashion.

Penny s very influenced
by the designers of the Left Bank.

Of the Manchester Ship Canal.

(Phone rings)

Mmm?

Penny, it's for you.

No calls, Elaine. I'm in conference.

It's Vince.

Oh.

- Would you excuse me for a moment?
- Oh, please carry on.

- Hello?
- Hello, Pen? It's me, Vince.

Yes, I know. What is it?

What do you want first?

The bad news, the really bad news,
or the shatteringly bad news?

- I'm easy, Vince.
- Right.

- Lennie called round this morning.
- Oh.

- Why did you do it, Pen?
- I didn't know they were his clothes.

I thought it was your bedroom I was in.

Look, tell him
I'll pay for them all to be replaced.

Don't worry, Pen.
That s all been taken care of.

No, I'll pay.

Fine. You owe me the money, then.

Now for the really bad news.

Lenny told his girlfriend Angela
that you and I had borrowed the flat.

Oh, no.

- He also told her we'd met in Paris.
- Oh, wonderful.

The thing is, Pen, Angela just happens
to be my wife s best friend.

Oh, great, Vincent.
Absolutely perfect.

You were right when you said
it was shatteringly bad news.

No, that s not
the shatteringly bad news, Pen.

I haven't come
to the shatteringly bad news yet.

- You mean there's more?
- Oh, boy, yeah.

I just phoned Gina at her office.
She's not there.

They said she was on her way up
to meet you.

She's coming here? Well, when?

I don't know. Any time now.

God!

Look, I'm terribly sorry about all...

Tell me, Georgina,
do people ever simply call you Gina?

My husband does.

Hello?

Oh, you re there, Pen.

Mmm. So's Gina.

Yeah, well, I just thought
I d let you know. I'll see you later.

Bye.

Vincent.

Oh, hello, dear.

You re not going out tonight, are you?

Well, actually, I was.

That wasn't a question, Vince.

Oh, I see. No, I'm not going out tonight.

Good.

Well, I'll see you later, darling.

This is not what I had in mind.

Elaine, could we have
two coffees, please?

- The machine s broken.
- Could you go to the delicatessen, then?

They might be closed.

They might not.

(Mouths)

I suppose this is why
you asked for me personally.

Mm-hm.

I didn't announce myself immediately.

Firstly, I wanted to observe you

to see why my husband
is so fascinated by you.

And secondly,

I thought you might
have suffered a bereavement.

No, this is the fashion in...

Paris.

Ah, yes, Paris.
Such a romantic city.

Yes.

You... You don't use
your married name.

No, Pinner sounds so common.

Marshall is my maiden and trade name.

I tried combining the two once,
Marshall-Pinner,

but it had overtones of Dodge City

and there are enough cowboys
in the rag trade as it is.

- Look...
- You re not doing anything this evening?

That's not a question either, is it?

- No.
- No, I'm not doing anything.

Good. I thought it was time
the three of us met and talked this over.

You've been to the flat?
Vince has taken you there, I suppose?

No, he hasn't.

Really?
Oh, he can be so rude sometimes.

But that s half his charm, isn't it?

Is it?

8:30.

By the way, I do like your ideas.

Thank you.

Oh.

Oh, by the way, I forgot to ask,
do you take sugar?

Darling, would you put this on for me?

Don't you think I'd look a bit silly?

The first thing I noticed about you
was your sense of humour.

Then I thought,
'Well, no one s perfect.'

Do you realise, this will be the first
evening we've spent together for...

- Oh, it must be months.
- It must be.

It's a shame that girl s coming, isn't it?

- Penny.
- Mmm.

Still, perhaps she won't stay for too long.

We can have the rest of the night
to ourselves. Would you like that?

Drink?

My usual.

- What s that?
- Vodka and tonic.

- (Doorbell)
- Oh, yeah.

Oh, it's most probably that girl.

Shall I?

Yes, darling. You let her in.

I'll see to the drink.

- How are you?
- How am I? I feel sick, Vincent.

Well, be careful, Pen.
This stuff costs �45 a yard.

Why have you dragged me
into your nightmare?

Everything s going to be all right.
Come in.

I warn you now,
she's in a funny mood.

- Don't make any jokes in there?
- Jokes!

Er, Gina, this is Penny. Penny...

- Oh, you've met, haven't you?
- Yes.

- Yes. Darling, why don't you take?
- Penny.

Why don't you take her coat
so feels the benefit when she leaves?

- Your coat, Pen.
- Oh, yes, thank you.

- Have you come straight from work?
- Yes.

Oh, I'm glad we didn't put you
to all the bother of changing.

No, I got rather tied up at a meeting
for a new chocolate bar we re advertising.

Oh, yes, I noticed it while you were
on the phone to my husband.

'Say I love you with a Caress.'

What are you trying to do?
Put the romance back into acne?

(Laughs nervously) Yes.

Well, sit down, Penny.
Make yourself at home.

Oh, thank you.

Right.

Yes.

Er, do you want
a sandwich or something?

Well, sit yourself down, darling.

Er, yes.

Shall I put some music on?

O Grady says do this.

Why don't you get Penny a drink, darling?

- Oh, right. Usual, Pen?
- Yes, please.

Do you ever get lonely,
living in a foreign city?

Oh, occasionally.

Must be lovely
when friends pop over to see you.

Yes, it's... Yes.

Wasn't it fortunate, you and my husband
meeting again like that?

When he told me
about his business trip to Paris,

I thought to myself,

'I wonder if he'll bump into that
girl again, ' and sure enough he did.

I imagine you had a lovely time.
Hm, darling?

Absolutely.

Yes, it was...

It was fun.
I showed Vince some sights.

Did you?

Did you like that as well, darling?

Yeah, that was the best part of it.

Darling.

Um, look, I think I should explain.

You see, Vince and I have been friends
for many years now.

Oh, yes, he's told me about you.

Weren't you his fianc�e once?

Yes. It was a long time ago.

Well, it was lovely meeting again
after all this time, accidentally.

We had lots of laughs, talking
about the old days, that kind of thing.

Vince was telling me
all that had been happening to him.

Did he tell you he was married?

No, he didn't say a thing
about it, did you?

No.

- It completely slipped my mind.
- So you didn't realise it was adultery?

No, I didn't have a...

...a clue.

Look, I'm sorry.

I didn't mean it to sound like that.
Please don't get the wrong idea.

We didn't sleep together, did we?

I think you dropped off at one point
but I couldn't get used to the traffic noise.

Wonderful.

Pen, come on.
There s no point in pretending.

Of course there isn't.

I knew what his game was the moment
he mentioned a business trip.

If it hadn't been you,
it would have been one of his others.

Come on, Gina. That's not fair.

As God is my witness,
I swear to you,

and you,

there's been no one else.

Oh, how sweet.

You've been faithful to both of us.

So here we are, slap bang
in the middle of an eternal triangle.

Right now I wish
it was the Bermuda Triangle.

Two women in the life of one man.

What are we going to do?

I don't know how you two
feel about this, but as far as...

Shut it.

Fine, fine.

Just trying to help, that's all.

I'll just, um...

I'll just...

You still love him, don't you?

I most certainly do not.

You passed the test
with flying colours.

Test? What test?

When I said to you in your office

that we should meet tonight
and talk this thing over,

that was the test.

If it had been a casual affair,

a weekend romance,

you would have told me
exactly what to do with my invitation.

Nothing on earth would have
dragged you to this inquisition.

But I knew that if you still loved him,

you would turn up and suffer.

And sure enough,
you arrived, right on the dot.

That proved nothing. I was brought up
not to break engagements.

It's a pity Vincent wasn't, isn't it?

Oh, I'm sorry. That was cruel of me,
throwing the past in your face.

Let me ask you something,
Mrs Pinner,

do you love your husband?

I married Vince for one reason
and one reason only.

His family are very wealthy.

Oh, peasants, yes,
but rich peasants.

Where do you think
my shops came from?

Pinner Investments.

I realised the moment
I signed that marriage certificate

that I was entitled
to half of that company.

That company is still expanding.

So, the longer I stay with the family,
the richer I become.

The strange thing is the Pinners,
Reet'n'Les,

they think the world of me.

I can't abide them.

Whenever they re in town,
I go back to my parents place.

Really?
How is Transylvania these days?

What s to stop me
telling Vince all that you've told me?

Tell him.
It wouldn't make any difference.

I can control him, you see.
He's like putty

when I get to work on him.

A certain smile,

a little look,

and the right kind of promise
and he's a pussy cat.

No, you think you re controlling him
but you re not.

He does exactly what he wants to do.

That s the difference between us, darling.

You couldn't do it.

But I can.

That's why I have the ring
and half the company

and you...

you have the journey home.

It's been nice.

Yes, you're right.

We are very different

and yet we've both been successful,
one way or another.

Everything I have achieved
has been through hard work,

long hours and lots and lots of effort.

I've done it all off my own back.

Whereas you, darling,

have done it all on your back.

Ciao.

Hang on, Pen,
I've just got the crisps and the nuts.

Oh, let her go, darling.

She said she wanted to think things over.

She wanted to be alone.

She said she wasn't sure
of anything any more.

Oh, but I am, Vince.

I honestly believe
that this could make us stronger.

Why don't we talk about it...
in bed?

Hm?

Oh,

talk to her if you must.

Then come back.

Pen, wait a minute, will you?

Why?

Why what?

Why, of all the advertising agencies
in London,

did she have to choose mine?

- Well, I recommended it.
- You did?

I didn't know
all this was going to happen.

Oh, Vince.

Why do you want me?

Because I love you.

Well, then, why did you marry her?

I don't know, really.
I wanted to appear on Mr & Mrs!

- Why?
- She told me she was pregnant.

Do you mean you have a child?

No, she wasn't really pregnant.

Two days after the wedding,
she calmly announced the false alarm.

I went straight to the vicar's
to see if there were any loopholes, but...

I was lumbered.

She only did it for the money.
That s all she's interested in.

- Then why don't you leave her?
- I am.

I'm leaving now.

I'm going to my parents house.
They re in Portugal so the place is empty.

- I don't suppose you?
- No.

She's evil, Vincent.

She thinks
she's got some kind of hold on you.

No chance, Pen. I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to bring you into all this.

I just couldn't help it.
Do you love me?

I'll call you tomorrow at the yard.

Oh, Vince,
promise me you won't go back in there.

I promise.

- What s wrong?
- Nothing. I've got a little present for you.

Pen?
