Rich Man, Poor Man (1976) s01e09 Episode Script
Part VIII: Chapters 11 and 12
Last on RICH MAN, POOR MAN: Are you looking for me, lover boy? To lose a baby is tragedy.
Find out, on top, that you can't have another one.
That's a cataclysm.
Some women just don't come out of it.
That's all.
At the close of the market today, you were worth something in excess of $48,000.
We got it.
We got the boat.
watching results on TV.
Suddenly she went absolutely-- Please, do not speak about the Senator's wife, as she's just left the room.
She's very much present and would like a drink.
You've had enough to drink.
- Here he is, boys! The Senator from Whitby, and that's only the beginning.
Senator, look this way, please.
Very good.
Thank you, Senator.
Good morning, sweetie.
- Martha! You look nice.
- I am nice.
Orange juice, corn flakes, strawberries.
Coming up, scrambled eggs, home fried potatoes, sausages, blueberry muffins and jam.
That's beautiful.
Who we're expecting? The 3rd Marine Division? You should eat something.
You're getting too thin.
Nobody loves a fat senator.
Jordache residence.
Just a minute, I'll see.
It's Mr.
Goodwin.
- Tell him the Senator is in recess.
I'll get it.
Hi, Marsh.
Well, listen.
I'm gonna be down at "The Sentinel" at 11.
So, why don't you stop by there? Fine, I'll see you then.
I thought we were gonna have a couple of days to ourselves.
You're on.
This is just half an hour.
A couple of odds and ends.
Why didn't you ask him over here? Well, we've gotta stop down there anyway.
We're donating a piece of equipment to the college paper.
What's in the mail? Anything from Billy? My son is not much of a writer, it seems.
But We got a nice long letter from your brother.
- How is he? Well, let's see.
The boat it's been in dry dock again.
They scraped the hull, trued the propellers, repaired the generator, painted the hull, put in a new galley.
Let's say this about Tom.
His letters aren't burden with sentiment.
Not yet.
They took the Diesels apart.
Are they making any money? I guess they're not really setting the world on fire.
It says that if we've got any rich friends who might like the idea of a Mediterranean cruise this summer, to mention his name.
And then it says: "No joke.
" And he's got that underlined.
Here, he sends a snapshot too.
"This is me and my partner Roy.
" "Motor Cruiser CLOTHILDE".
"Marina Antibes" "Clothilde" Where did they get a name like that? Well, the world is waiting.
Hey, Rudy.
You know? I get the feel that Tom can really use some help.
I'll see what I can do.
But, why don't you talk to your buddy Marsh Goodwin? Irene tells me they're very big in the south of France.
I always get this feeling.
There's something about Marsh Godwin that irks you.
No, it doesn't irk me.
It really doesn't.
Sometimes he scares me, though.
Why? I don't understand.
-Neither do I.
But there you have it.
Me, I guess.
Listen, I might just have to bring him back here for lunch.
You mean, in case I was planning a lube before noon? I didn't say that.
I know.
I'm sorry.
Could I get one of you two shaking hands? - Well, I'd be delighted.
If I'm not compromising Mr.
McGee's principles.
We can always crop it if we run off in "The Broom".
Can you move down by the enlarger, please? - Certainly.
"The broom"? It was "The Bengal" when I worked on in and covered across country.
We changed it last semester.
"The Broom"? Well, sweep clean.
- We intend to.
Incidently we had some problems-- when trying to change the name from "The Bengal" to "The Broom".
Briber! The Senator alone, smiling.
Thank you.
I've gotta get back home.
Are we cleared up, Marsh? I think that about covers everything.
You mind to cover more photographs, Senator? Our photographer just arrived.
My pleasure.
Where have you been, locked in? - I'm sorry.
I got all hung up.
It won't be a minute, okay? A couple of questions, Senator? All right, but I wanted understood this enlarger is intended as a bribe.
It's on audit.
- So go easy.
Okay.
You're a rich man.
Worked your way through school.
Made X million dollars before you were 35.
Why don't you take it easy and relax? What are you trying to prove? - That the system works.
You really believe that? - Not perfectly, but we're trying.
So I keep hearing.
What's this I heard about you running for the US Senate in 66? You'll have to ask our party cool chairman about that.
Marsh Let me ask you instead.
Would you vote for Rudy Jordache? You're putting me on.
Well, there goes the enlarger.
-No, no.
Wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
Thank you, all of you.
Have you looked in my voting record? I'm driving Marsh Goodwin nutso for practically everything you are.
Oh, that's great.
And you offer tearing down the country and starting it fresh.
Fantastic! What if we did? I've got a field of expertise.
I can actually bake bread for people to eat.
What can you do, besides bellyache? - What your problem is, Mr.
jordache, you got too much money.
If you're looking for the word to describe that attitude is bigotry.
- I'll differ to your expertise in that field too.
Give up, Rudy.
You can't win.
Hey, don't let him hassle you.
Really.
You're really a nice guy.
- For a Neardenthal.
Thanks for the enlarger.
Thank you.
- Thank you.
It's a nice gimmick that photo enlarger.
You know, you got a feel for the young vote.
Now, if you want some advice on how to please their fathers, get on the right side of the ROTC issue.
I was intending to do that, Marsh.
Believe or not, some of the stands I take are things I believe in.
Of course.
My car is down here.
How is Julie these days? Well, she's never been a 100% since she lost the baby.
That was a long ago, wasn't it? - Quite a while.
Why? - No reason.
I just wish she were a little more visible, that's all.
The right kind of a wife can be a terrific asset to a political figure.
Particularly in Washington.
Just a minute, Marsh.
What are you saying to me? - I'm not saying anything.
I'm just asking a question.
You mean: Will Julie embarrass me politically? Marsh, 3 months of psychotherapy does not constitute a mental breakdown.
Of course not.
I just asked how she was.
She's fine.
That's all I wanna know.
Matter of fact, why don't you come out for lunch today? Julie was just saying we don't see enough of you.
Sounds great.
But I got to get back to Washinghton this afternoon.
Irene is closing the house.
Where are you going? The South of France again? If that's something I like, why change? Hey, have you ever thought about chattering a yacht down there? We tried it a couple of years ago.
We liked it, except: a) The skipper was a lush.
and b) The food was unfit for human comsuption.
That's what you get for not checking with me.
This time you gotta go in style.
My brother's boat.
It's there, the "Clothilde".
Hey, Roy.
Come here.
I'm gonna kill the Spanish cook.
Are you sure you told that cook today? Sure, I'm sure I told him.
He said he'd be here this morning at 8 o'clock.
Here comes that charter.
What are we gonna do? I don't know, man.
You're the captain.
- Oh, Jordache.
-Mr.
Goodwin.
I'm Tom.
This is my partner, Roy.
- Pleased to meet you, Tom, Roy.
Where is the luggage? - It's all on board, sir.
- Oh, good.
This is my wife, Irene.
- How do you do? - How do you do? Well What do you think, dear? Isn't she a beauty? She's not as large as the "Siesta", is she? This is a much nicer boat than the "Siesta", dear.
Besides, Tom tells me he's got the best cook in the Mediterranean forest.
Isn't that what you wrote? Yes, that's right, sir.
The cook is in town getting a few odds and ends at the moment.
Well, we have a few things we'd like to pick up ourselves.
When do you think you'll be ready to shove off? About an hour? Hour and a half.
All right.
Thank you.
See you back here about 1:30, all right? - Uhuh, fine.
Oh I still think it's a mistake.
- Oh, dear Maybe.
Every time we go to the South of France-- Keep an eye on things and take care of this, will ya? - Where are you off to? We gotta go find ourselves a cook, dead or alive.
This is it, the 28.
Hey, monsieur! Monsieur! Hey, you in there! - Fuck off! Hey, we're looking for Ref-- - Refugio González.
I said "Fuck off".
Who do you think you are? Popeye the sailorman? González, where is he? - Too late.
What do you mean "too late"? - I hired him for 3 weeks and gave him 50 bucks in advance.
That's too bad.
I 'm afraid he's got a previous engagement.
The hell he's got a previous engagement! - The hell he has it! Drunk and disorderly, 30 days.
- What? Drunk and disorderly? - Yeah.
With a little assault and battery for an end.
I mean, he's in jail? Yeah, you're quick.
That's what I mean.
He's in jail and I hope he rots there, the creep.
Now, what are we gonna do about a cook? We're gonna get a cook if I have to go on the first restaurant I see and kidnap.
Come on.
Hey, what kind of cook you need? - It's for a yacht.
A charter party.
Come on, Roy.
Hey, wait a minute.
Wait a minute, listen.
Hey, I got a proposition for ya.
Could bet you have, honey.
- Oh, come on.
Just listen to me.
Some other time.
You-all! I got a way of solving all of your problems.
That you don't wanna listen, it's your tough luck.
- What's that? The greatest cook you'd ever saw.
Come on, Roy, let's go.
- Wait a minute, she's a cook.
Her? - Yeah, me.
Where did you ever learn to cook? - I worked 2 years in Leone's "Quo Vadis".
Never heard of him.
- I never heard of you either.
Yeah, I've heard about it.
It's a great place.
Fantastic food.
How do I know you worked there? - How do I know you got a yacht? You look like a white slaver to me.
Come on, Roy.
Let's get out of here.
Hey, look, it's 1:15.
Come on.
Just give me a chance.
Just let me cook one meal.
And if it's good, I got a job.
And if not, I'll leave.
All right, if not so help me God, I'll kick your little butt right out the boat myself.
Fair is fair.
I had no idea this famous chef of yours was a female.
Whether attractive, too.
I'm looking forward to this.
Aren't you, dear? - Oh, with bated breath.
But I can't promise you a gourmet meal.
Not for a strike up over the barrel.
Well, I'll settle for anything.
Just something to eat, please.
An nightcrawler or a stale crust of bread.
Anything.
Excuse me.
Okay.
Let me see.
Okay, fine.
Go on.
Well, I'm afraid that is potluck tonight.
It's fish chowder and salad.
If we can get into port tomorrow, I can pick up some proper supplies.
Honey, you've gotta get this recipe.
- It's not half bad at that.
You better hang on to her, captain.
We may be taking her home with us.
I'm getting all my stuff out.
If there's anything you need, just holler.
I think I'll be quite comfortable.
- Yeah.
Kate, that was really a great dinner.
They really went over it good.
This is really a great book.
Good night.
- Yeah.
I'm gonna be bunking with Roy.
- Thank you.
If there's anything you need day or night - Oh, there's nothing I need.
Anything does come up - Oh, well, you'd be the first.
- Yeah.
get out of here, too.
It's a saved bomb glove.
Now, would you get the hell out of my room, please? Captain? You got my bag.
Oh, yeah.
Sweet dreams.
Are you sure you don't want anything? It's been a really nice 2 weeks, Tom.
Yeah, but I wish we had another charter lined up.
There'll be other charter parties.
- I hope so.
What do you mean? - Economics.
We're not making the expenses.
You worked so hard to make this boat nice.
- I was hoping to bring my son out.
I thought it would a good place to bring him up.
Want some coffee? Yeah, black.
I didn't know you had a son.
- Wesley.
That's some name, huh? He's a great kid, though.
Ah, thank you.
Where is he? - I don't know.
His mother took off with him when he was 3.
You mean she just took off? - Yeah.
She was an alley cat.
So was I, not better.
I guessed we just got tired of howling at each other.
One day I came home and she was gone.
No loss.
I sure would like to see that kid again, though.
Why don't you? - I don't even know where he is.
You must have some ideas.
Here in the States somewhere? Well, I suppose.
My brother's got some people looking for him.
Investigators.
But they're not doing too well.
Why don't you try and find him? - I can't.
I can't go home.
Never? - That's a long story I'll tell you sometime.
Well, listen.
I am really sorry.
Don't be sorry.
- Thanks.
You know you gotta keep it.
- Yeah.
Taking her in? No, sir, there's no chance of getting in from here.
We're gonna have to go around the point to the harbor.
That's gonna take all day.
Our hotel is right over there.
I know, ma'am, but there's no chance to land from here.
Why not? Because these rocks on the way will tear the bottom off the boat, Marsh.
Oh, that's a lot of hooey.
Either you take us in or we're swimming ashore.
That's a bad idea, ma'am.
It'll tear the bottom of you, too.
Listen, I swam in and out of rocks around Newport.
Well, this isn't Newport.
Oh, you know, captain, you have a talent for stating the obvious.
Well, it's not only the rocks, ma'am.
Marsh, there is a current.
Will you tell him to do as I say or else I'm swimming.
Take her in.
Excuse me.
-Excuse me.
She wants to swim in.
- What? That idiot.
Why would she wanna do that? - I don't know.
I guess she's trying to make him prove he's a man.
They've been drinking scotch all day.
You know that, don't you? I'm telling you-- You, come on, come on, come on! I thought I told you to take its fore in.
- I'm sorry, Marsh.
I can't do that.
Why not? - Because, sir, I don't wanna see you kill yourself.
I paid a lot of money for this charter.
- Yes, sir.
I know that, Marsh.
Then do as I tell you! - I'm sorry.
Excuse me.
I'll take hold and you better go below.
- Oh, captain Oh, see Want some more? That about is, Marsh? Marsh! Any sign of them, Kate? - Yeah, I just saw them down below.
They finished packing.
Hey, that solves none of that, man.
I'm proud of you.
- For losing my temper? You know what? You gotta hit me over the head with a bottle.
Violent type, isn't he? Haven't you figured this guy out yet? You see? He's one of them primitives.
Yeah? Yeah? Well, I'll tell you some.
If we ever had a chance, I just blew it for us.
What do you mean "us", white man? I'm just visiting.
You know what they call people who desert sinking ships, don't you? Nobody's asked me to stay.
Thank you.
I just wanna thank you for a nice cruise.
I wanna settle up.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
Thank you.
You're a good cook.
- Thanks.
This is too much.
- It's my way of apologizing.
Nah, you don't have to apologize.
- Look I'm not very good at admitting mistakes, but you saved our dumb necks.
Let's just say that from now on, you'll have more referral business than you can handle, okay? - Okay.
Incidently, we'd like to book you early for next year.
We'd like the full month of June if that's convenient.
The full month? Fine Roy? Well, we're kind of busy, actually.
- What do you think, Kate? I think we can probably juggle our schedule to accomodate everybody.
"Au revoir" and see you next year.
- Fine.
No, no.
Allow me.
I want to thank you for juggling our busy schedule.
- You're welcome.
Does that mean you're gonna stick around? I don't know.
You don't know? - Nobody's bothered to ask.
Well I'm asking you.
Who was Clothilde? - Huh? What's that got to do with anything? Dwyer told me that when you bought the boat you changed the name.
Uh, he did, huh? Who was she? Queen of France? - Come on.
She was just somebody I knew when I was a boy.
She smelled fresh like you.
I'm not all that fresh, you know.
.
- Whoa, you're not, huh? Kate, wherever you've been or wherever you've done, it doesn't make any difference to me.
I just get the feeling that every time I make love to you I'm gonna forget another bad thing in my life.
What do you want? - Mr.
Schmidt? George Schmidt? - What do you want? A friend of yours asked me to give you this.
What's that supposed to buy? Aren't you the George Schmidt who used to manage some pretty good fighters? Pros gone away champs.
Is that good enough for you? Tom Jordache is my brother.
How did you find me? Through the Madison Square Garden.
Why me? - I'm looking for someone who might help me find my brother's son.
Your brother here owes me 150 bucks.
Here's 50 more on account.
I'll send the rest over tomorrow.
What's he doing these days? Still out of the country? That's right.
You have no idea what your brother did, huh? Well, I know he was in trouble with some people, but that's all I've known.
He damn near killed a fighter named Joey Quales.
Got him in a motel room in Vegas.
Put him out of commission.
Was in the hospital for 6 months.
Never worthed a damn after that.
Joey Quales was mafia property.
Lock, stock, and jockstrap.
They weren't too thrilled about it.
- Are they still looking for him? - No.
There's no more heat.
There's no more anything.
You mean he can come back to this country? He can come back and lead the Columbus Day Parade down 5th Av.
Just one more thing.
What about his wife? Somebody turned her out.
- I don't understand.
What do you want for a lousy 150 bucks? You want a college education? I want an answer in English.
She calls herself Teresa Laval.
You don't know where she lives? - I don't even know where the hell I live.
Now, beat it.
I'm missing my program.
Check the 23rd precinct.
Yeah, yeah, I hear you.
It's believing, that's the hard part.
Hey, you mean I'm clear? You're positively clear, Tom.
And there's more.
I located your boy.
Wesley? Are you sure? - Positive.
Look, it's a long story.
You just be on that plane tomorrow and I'll fill you in, okay? Okay, okay.
But I don't think I need a plane.
- I'll see you tomorrow.
See you tomorrow.
Was that for me? - No, it's Tom.
He's coming home.
Were you expecting a call? - Yes, Billy.
What's the matter? I got a letter from his faculty advisers a couple of days ago.
Why didn't you say something to me? - I don't like to bug you about him.
Look, Julie, it bugs me when you shut me off.
Now, you know I look at Billy as is he were my own son.
I know, I know.
- So What's he up to? His grades are getting worse.
- What else is new? "What else" is a National Selective Service act.
They drop him out of school and get drafted.
Well, worse things can happen.
- Then getting your head blown up in Vietnam? Wait a minute, honey, wait a minute.
Look, it's not quite that automatic.
You don't induct a boy and 2 months later you send the corpse home to his mother.
A lot of boys serve out their time.
They come home without a scratch.
In fact, a lot of them are not even sent out of the States.
So, is that supposed to make me feel better or something? Look, Julie.
How about this? What if we fly out to the coast.
Go have a talk with him.
Can we? - No reason why not.
When? - Just one thing at a time, please.
I've a got a brother coming home from France tomorrow.
All right.
But you won't forget.
You want a drink? - Oh, I'd love a drink.
Tell me about my ever loving bride, will you? All right.
Where was I? Let's see.
You just left Smitty and you went out to the 23rd precinct.
- Yeah.
Going gets a little rougher from here on.
- Go on, I'm a big strong fella.
Right.
Well, in the first place, you're not married anymore.
I'm what? She got a divorce from you a couple of years ago on the grounds of desertion.
Gee, that's funny.
That's really funny.
It gets even funnier.
She's living with a guy named Laval up on 116th Street.
Oh, I hate just looking at her.
I don't care about hers.
It's the boy I'm concerned about.
He is in the military academy up near Tarrytown.
I don't know anything about a Laval.
But I do know she's been picked up 3 times for soliciting in bars.
She's a professional.
When a knew her, she was not even a gifted amateur.
I talked to my lawyer.
He tells me you can get custody on the strings of these convictions without any trouble.
Maybe I ought to call her up.
Maybe she's learned how to do it by now.
To betting on a short bankroll.
Excuse me.
Hello? Hello, Rudy.
Is that you? - Yes, dear.
Listen.
I got another letter from Billy's faculty advisor.
They're gonna put him on probation.
Good.
What's good about it? - Maybe something like that will straight him out.
I thought you said we can fly and talk to him.
All right, if you want to.
- When? Soon.
Why can we go right now? - Because I've got a billing committee.
Three appointments I'm trying to push through and an obligation to the voters.
I'm willing to help Billy, but that doesn't mean I'm gonna drop everything, and daze madly across the continent every time he fails to turn in an assignment.
Besides-- Julie? How is Julie these days? - Fine, fine, fine.
Not so fine, really.
She's got her problems.
You too? I wonder what our lives would've been like if you haven't left home then.
No difference.
Rudy, you'd still be out there in that track, going full speed, not beat back there, huffed and puffed.
Marsh tells me you're doing just great.
Yeah, we're doing fine.
We're doing all right.
Boat's been cleaned up.
Well, we're never gonna make much money, but Some guys are coming out with this new radar, and everything was gonna get a lot tougher, but I'll tell you something, Rudy.
I had a dream when we were kids sharing that double bed.
That life could be so good.
Hold on.
Your name is Jordache? - That's right.
You say you're cadet Jordache's father? - You're two for two, Colonel.
What do you want from me, Mr.
Jordache? Well, I've come to see my son.
- Cadet Jordache is at drill at the moment.
Well, I hate to interrupt his marching, Colonel, but I've come clear from France.
We have regular visiting days.
Why don't you just tell yourself this is one of them.
It happens to be another small problem, Mr.
Jordache, if that's your name.
If that's my name? - That's what I said.
According to our files here Wesley Robert Jordache's father is dead.
Here it is, black and white.
Well, I am his father, Colonel.
I'm not dead.
And it just so happens I have a brand new U.
S.
passport.
Of course there's always the possibility there was a clerical error made.
Colonel have you ever met Mrs.
Jordache? No, I've never have the pleasure.
Actually-- - What she does for a living.
Antique business, isn't it? You might say that she handles a few antiques, yes.
Matter of fact I was wishing that Mrs.
Jordache would come up here.
You, been here today, might be just a struck of luck.
Oh, why? What do you mean? To tell you the truth, we're having trouble with your son.
Trouble, what kind of trouble? - Fighting.
Well, isn't that what you're trying to do here? Make a fighting man out of these boys.
- Not this kind of fighting.
Sorry to say, but your son has been a major problem.
Well, I'm gonna solve your problem, Colonel.
- How? I'm gonna take my boy out of this dump this afternoon.
Out of the question.
But I'm telling you, Colonel.
I'm gonna take him out of here this afternoon.
Absolutely impossible.
Can't take him out unless both parents consent to it.
I just saw we won't waste each other's time, Colonel.
Take a look at that.
It's all there in black and white.
An arrest record? - Teresa Jordache alias Teresa Laval.
The charge is soliciting.
She's a hooker, Colonel.
You still wanna keep my boy? I have to say this alters things considerably.
I'd say you're absolutely right.
First thing we're gonna do is getting some decent clothes.
-Yes, sir.
Don't call me "sir".
I'm your father.
Hello, Billy.
- Hey, Rudy, mother.
It's so good to see you.
Hey, go in for me.
I got visitors.
We missed you at the airport.
- Well, I had this ball game.
Billy, how-- Is that your girl? Oh, no, no.
My girl's folks are down for the weekend.
She has to pretend I don't exist.
Why? Don't they like you? Well, her father can't stand me.
He thinks I'm an inmoral influence.
That I even smoke pot.
Well, do you? Actually, I prefer booze, mother.
Just like you.
Don't attack, Billy.
- Okay.
Let's change the subject.
Hey, are you planning to be out here long? - As long as it takes.
What? - To find out what's the matter with you.
You might as well know we've been with your faculty advisor all morning.
The plastic hippie? Don't you have a good word to say for anybody? Yeah, Albert Camus, but he is dead.
It may interest you to know you're just about to flunk out of this school.
Look, if you get dumped, you're be drafted.
Did you have a think about that? - You know, I thought about a lot of things.
You'd be surprised.
I was thinking about my father just the other day.
How he got killed in that accident.
If it was an accident.
What does that mean? - Billy called me, you know.
Told me about the big job you got him out in Santa Barbara.
That he wasn't going to be seeing us anymore.
- Rudy was trying to help your father.
Well, it doesn't matter.
Nothing does, really.
That's just a copout for not doing anything.
Hey, just a minute.
Who the hell do you think you are to turn your back on your mother and walk away? It's all right, Rudy.
Don't, please.
You know, if you don't like the way I've turned out, that's too bad, but it's not your fault.
Well, how could it be? I haven't seen you for more than 2 weeks in a row since I was 13 years old.
Or you were always there with the old handshake and the $50 bill or a new sports car.
Let me tell you a secret: It never really helped.
I know it's crazy.
I know he probably got drunk and went to sleep at the wheel.
But I look at you and couldn't help feeling if it weren't for you my father still be alive.
Billy, that doesn't make sense.
- I know.
Let's pretend I never said it.
You just forget about me.
Oh, terrific.
How am I supposed to do that? The same way you forgot about my father.
Is that the way you wanna leave it? - Goodbye, mother.
I will write to you.
Are you ready? - Yeah.
Hey, twins.
- Hey, triplets.
Yeah.
Wes! Yeah? - You got the duty.
Check lines about every hour.
And we'll be back around 6:00.
Yes, sir.
- There's chow in the galley.
Hey.
You all right? - Groovy.
Now you take care of this thing.
That's all we got.
Aye, aye, captain.
You're all navy.
"Hey, signore, le bateau c'est très jolie.
" I don't speak French.
We like the boat.
We think it is very pretty.
Oh, come on on board.
You own this boat? Yeah, sure.
Come and see for yourself.
Really, here's the gangway.
Come on aboard and see it for yourself.
Yeah.
Here's one right here over Nice.
"Nue dans la rue.
" Sounds okay, doesn't it? You'll get us into see a skin flick.
-No, I'm not.
It says right here, it says: "Very educational film".
Right there.
Then how come they won't let kids in? Where does it say they won't let kids in? Right here.
"Interdit aux mineure.
" Oh, that's because they're going for the married crowd.
Yes, here says: Singles get in for 6 francs.
Man and wife get in for 9 francs.
I just thought of a great way of saving 3 francs.
I wanna see a nice film where the ladies don't take their clothes off and they do some proper acting.
But if you hurry with that second drink, we get a chance to get married before the 7:00 show.
Are you proposing to me? - Well, it's a great way for saving the 75 cents.
Kate, I love you.
I want you to marry me.
It's a lovely idea.
But it wouldn't be fair to Wes.
- Wes? What Wes got to do with this? I mean, he's gotta have a chance to get his bearings.
You know, I mean, he's got to get used to a whole new father, a whole new country, a whole new language, a whole new life.
What would it be if I walked in and said: "Hi, I'm your new mom!" I mean, that's enough to drive him right around the bend.
Is that a long drawn out way of saying no? That's a long drawn out way of saying that I'm very flattered.
And that I hope you'll ask me again sometime.
Roy? - What is it? I'm glad I got you.
What? What's the matter? Is the Wes? - Oh, no, no, he's fine.
I wish I can say the same about the boat.
- Oh, what happened? Well, the kid took the "Clothilde" down.
He hit a submerged log.
We got a lot of damage.
How is it? It's not a good prospect: Two bent blades.
I think the shaft's bent, too.
Oh, that's beautiful.
That's just beautiful.
Just go find the kid.
I'll bond the trunk.
- Right, right.
I couldn't find him.
"Old Cookie Jar" says he saw him heading towards Cannes.
Now, don't be too hard on him.
You know how it feels.
But just how in the hell do you think I feel? Wes! Wes.
Get up.
I'm sorry, Pa.
I didn't mean to do it.
Come here.
Tomorrow I'm gonna show you how to fix a propeller.
Come on.
Hey, guess who I saw in town.
- Who did you see in town? Oh, an old friend of ours by the name of Falconetti.
Are you sure you saw him? - Positive.
Got a black eye patch.
Courtesy of Tom Jordache.
- Who's Falconetti? He's just a mere nobody.
- Who is he, Pa? Come on, come on.
Help me with this thing, will you? I'll pull this over.
You tie this one down.
Here you go.
Wes, tie that down, will ya? I'll watch you.
You know? Pinkie said it a long time ago, and he was right.
- What? "You don't have to be a bloody Tudor to live like a king.
" The kid steers pretty to a course, doesn't he? - So does his old man.
I think you've done a pretty good job with him.
Kate, it's a good life.
- Yes, it is.
Our lives together, sharing.
Yeah.
There's only one thing that will make it perfect.
What? A radar.
What did I do, though? What did I do, though? It's what you didn't do.
This time I was gonna say yes.
Okay, I'm asking you.
- Then I'm saying yes.
But only for one reason.
- What's that? I just don't think that it would be fair to to leave your second son without a name.
Kate, you know what we're gonna have? A baby.
- Yeah, I know we're gonna have a baby.
We're gonna have the greatest wedding the south of France has ever seen! Hey, Wes! Pinkie! We got plans to make.
End ROTC in Whitby End ROTC in Whitby Is somebody planning to answer that? What time do you get to Washington? - Late this afternoon.
I'm gonna catch there a new shuttle plane down to New York.
Well, I wish you luck.
It's top of the mountain, Rudy.
You get the support of this people, there's no telling where you can go in politics.
Oh, well, Marsh says is strictly a matter of shaking hands, making acquaintances-- Excuse me, Mr.
Jordache.
Somebody from the paper.
All right.
Thank you.
Yes? This is he.
They did? Well, have you called the police? No, damn it! I want him arrested! - What is it? The kids from the school just busted our window.
Seems they didn't like our editorial position on the ROTC.
The limousine just drove up, Mr.
Jordache.
You get chief Ottman on it.
Oh, and have Terry do an editorial in a box.
Draw paralells between the new left and the early days of Hitler.
"Freedom of speech is a two-way street", so on That's right.
Okay.
Let's go.
I'm gonna miss my plane.
May I speak to you a minute, sir? - Can't wait? It's about Mrs.
Jordache.
Well, I'm off.
- Have a nice time.
I'm not going there to have a nice time.
Well, have whatever kind of time you're going there to have.
You are in a pretty mood.
Sorry, I have this little ping-pong game going on inside my head this morning.
I'm not really at my best.
- Have you had a drink this morning? What is this? "20 questions"? Just one: Have you had a drink this morning? Did I ever tell you how much I hate it when you get that patient tone in your voice? The fact is you have zonked.
- The fact is I had a beer.
One beer! You'd better get going.
You'll miss your plane.
Well, maybe I'd better stay.
Oh, I am going to be fine.
I really am tip top.
Look, I don't wanna harp on this.
- Will you stop it? Will you please, stop it? You'd better pull yourself together, Julie.
What brought all this on? Have you taken a good look at yourself lately? You really know how to cheer a girl up, buddy.
I am not trying to cheer you up.
I am trying to get through to you.
You have got a problem and you'd better start facing it.
Well, just in case you're wondering, this isn't exactly helping.
What do you mean? I'm driving you to drink? Oh, come on! You got enough excuses without that.
Of the poor lady her son joined the army, so she drinks.
She lost her baby, so she drinks.
Her husband is up in Albany all the time, so she drinks.
She gave up her career.
She had an histerectomy.
The cat had kittens.
They sent the wrong wallpaper.
It rained on her birthday.
You don't need another excuse, honey.
You've got a million of them.
You left out the best one.
- Just anything is enough to set you off.
The one about "poor lady her marriage went out the window.
" You said it.
I didn't.
- Well, it's true, isn't it? Well, maybe we'd better face up to that fact, too when I get back.
Rudy? Look, we will finish this when I get home.
Why don't you try to get some sleep? Call Fenneman.
He'll give you a shot.
I'll call you from Washington.
And for God's sake, stay off the booze! Rudy! Rudy.
- Marsh, is something wrong? There's been a problem up at Whitby.
I've got a plane standing by Wenatchee.
You'd better get back and see what can be done.
But, what's the problem? - Some kids are picking in your house.
Were the police called? - All I know is some rocks were thrown.
Your wife came to the door.
One of the kids got some pictures.
Apparently, she was pretty drunk.
Oh, swell.
- That's not all.
When she came to door, she was naked.
Where the hell were you all this time, chief? I had Roberts and Martin there to keep them out of your garden.
And the chief defensed, Mr.
Senator.
It didn't seem like any big deal.
What happened was, one of the kids started throwing rocks.
And when Roberts and Martin went after them, the front door opened.
What more can I tell ya? You can tell me that some arrest have been made.
You can tell me that the whole system of law in this country doesn't just call off an die because some 18-year-old social-economic philosopher declares it irrelevant! Now, Rudy-- You can tell me that people are not allowed to stone my house- and invade my privacy with impunity.
- Now, Rudy--! If that is the sum of your contribution, Mr.
Mayor, I've heard it.
You can just stop repeating it! All I wanted to say is the kid's sputter it's cooled.
- The kid's? I think we can minimize the political damage, if any, by keeping a low profile on this.
Excuse me, sir.
- Yes, Roberts, what is it? - These pictures.
They're passing them on campus.
Where are they getting this made? - At the school paper, I think, sir.
They're over in the student union, passing them out.
See if you can get the City attorney, will you, chief.
- Yes, Mr.
Mayor.
City attorney's Office.
"The Love Generation" Vicious little creep! Rudy, where are you going? - I'm gonna kick a few irrelevant behinds.
Rudy, wait! Mr.
Senator, please don't go out there without a warrant! Hey, Rudy.
You want a beer? It's not big deal, Mr.
Jordache.
What are you doing, Senator? Hey, Rudy, stop it! It's her eyes.
In the language of flowers, a rose means: "Let's talk".
I didn't know that.
I just made it up.
Don't make me laugh.
I'm not that sure of my stomach yet.
I looked in on you last night but you were asleep.
Fenneman didn't want me to wake you.
I know, he told me.
- What else did he tell you? The whole thing.
I guess I really did it this time, huh? Rudy, I don't even know how to begin to apologize.
You see, in a couple of weeks, it would have been forgotten.
I thought I finished you politically.
- No, I finished myself.
That stunt I pulled was totally unforgivable.
I'm dead.
I should be.
What the hell, it's probably just as well.
What does Marsh Goodwin say? - I think he's avoiding me.
He always did have a lot of class.
I can't blame Marsh.
I'm the one who pushed the girl into the-- How is she doing? I brought Margolis up to see her.
He's the eye man from Johns Hopkins.
And? He can give her 85% vision in the left eye and 75% in the right.
God, I can never forgive myself for that.
- Did you talk to her? Yeah.
She's sitting down there.
And she's got a big white bandage all over the top of her head.
And she said She said we'd better all start learning to love each other.
Or the world God! It's all right, Rudy.
It's all right.
Julie do you think if we really tried there'd be some kind of a chance for us? Maybe maybe if I could give up booze and and you got out of this wrecking.
Maybe there'll be a chance.
I want that chance, Julie.
I really do.
Oh, God, Rudy, so do I.
So do I.
I just saw that you needed it, Pa.
- Yeah, yeah.
No, nothing for me-- - Here, auntie.
"Merci, garçon.
" - Quiet, quiet everybody! I wish to propose a toast to Tom Jordache and his beautiful bride! They came to us as strangers, but now they are part of us.
All the happiness for ever! Hey Wes, let's make a loving cup.
Go, Wes! Guggle it, guggle it, guggle! My boy! Congratulations! Bonne chance.
- Yeah, yeah.
He's quite a kid.
- Yeah, he is.
How's Billy these days? Oh, he's fine, I guess.
He's a door gunner, a helicopter.
Now, when anyone else gets a young hippie, I get John Wayne Junior.
Come on, over here! Mon frère formidable! N'est-ce pas? That's the way they say it over here, which means: Some kind of a guy.
The best! Of which there is no whicher: My brother! Oh, what's that? I don't know.
- Jordache! Jordache! Two Jordaches.
"To Tom and Kate, from Rudy and Julie" What is it? - Why don't you open it and find out? All right, hold it.
It's a radar! A radar! Rudy, you remembered.
We thought it would be a suitable wedding present to help you mark the horizon, recognize hazards and obstacles and avoid wrecks.
This is the greatest damned wedding anybody ever had! Oh, I'm afraid the wedding night might have to be posponed.
Come on! - Yeah.
Fortunately for the future breed, all this is merely technicality.
Listen, would anyone like a drink or sandwiches, anything? - No.
No, thank you.
Goodbye.
Have fun.
Good night.
- Good night, then.
Glad you came? Yeah.
I was just thinking about Tom.
It's the craziest thing What is? Oh, what's happened to him.
Don't you see it? I mean, you think about what he used to be and what he is now.
How people love him.
His son, his wife, his friends.
He's surrounded by love.
It's just amazing how he's changed.
Haven't we all? Yeah.
But he's changed for the better.
Madame? Cognac deux fois, s'il vous plait.
- Oui, madame.
Vous êtes du America? - Yes.
Me too.
You mind if I sit down? Help yourself.
Enchanté.
- Enchanté.
Oh, I think you'd like another one of those, wouldn't you? Hé, garçon! Encore une tournée ici.
Hey you, what is it? What do you want? I've just seen your sister in law.
Where was she? At the strip-tease club.
It's, you know, "La Porte Rose" on the rue Baou sur St.
Clair.
Do you remember? Was she drinking? - Drinking? Man, she was drunk! Was anybody with her? - Yes, that's the thing, she's with a rough big yankee.
Was an one-eye blockhead, nasty, a bit of good she was, too.
- You know him? No at all.
But I asked about him.
It sounded they said Farinetti.
Falconetti.
- Yes, that's it.
You've heard of him? Yeah, I had a little run-in with him once.
- There you're.
- Yeah.
Thanks, Pinky.
- Yeah.
Hey, don't get drunk.
- I never touch the stuff.
Can I go with you? - No, honey.
You can't go with me.
You go back to sleep.
I'm gonna be all right.
Go back to sleep.
Oui, monsieur? - Whisky.
An American girl was in here in a peach dress? I do not remember.
- Yeah.
She was with a big guy, name Falconetti.
Get one eye.
Had a patch on.
Behind the toilettes it's found an escalier.
Perhaps down there one finds what one seeks.
Be careful.
Understand? Bad man.
Bad friends.
Oh, stop it! No, please! No! Please, stop! I've been waiting to see you a long time.
But right this minute you're in my way.
- I just came to get the lady, Falconetti.
Help yourself.
- I didn't come here to fight.
I just came here to take the lady home.
No! Stop it! Oh, don't! Stop it! Stop it! No No! No.
Give me your arm.
- Yeah.
Are you okay? - Yeah.
Listen, tell him anything you want.
I'll back you up.
Okay? You're a solid citizen, Tom.
Smile when you say that, stranger.
You'd better get some sleep.
Honey, come on.
Come on, I'll hold you.
You okay? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm fine.
- Thank you.
Yeah.
It could have been worse.
- You get to tell mommy all about it.
Oh, mommy.
Well, there's nothing to tell.
Except one thing - What's that? I could have killed the man.
I didn't.
Rudy, I just want to say that the-- Look, maybe this conversation had better wait till we both feel better.
It's gonna have to be said sooner or later.
He told me that he was a friend of Tom's.
Faliyetti something.
It doesn't really matter.
I was having a brandy and he came over and sat down next to me.
Would you just tell me why, Julie? After we've been through the hospital.
We've been through the wrench - I don't know! Maybe it was seeing Tom and Wes so happy and thinking about Billy.
I'm such a lousy excuse for a mother! Oh, come on, Julie.
We're just people.
We don't really have the right to expect ourselves to be perfect.
I don't know if I'm ever gonna be able to stop drinking.
Well, all you can do is try.
Maybe it would just be the best thing for both of us if we broke it up now.
Is that the way you feel? Yes.
- Maybe you're right.
Let's don't decide it now.
Ah, monsieur.
Pardon, excusez-moi de vous déranger, mais je cherche le yacht, "Le Corsaire".
On m'a dit que c'est au quai par ici.
Mais, je vois pas.
No, there's no boat "Corsaire".
- Mais, no Vraiment on m'a dit que c'est par ici.
Ah, there was On m'a dit que c'est par ici.
En le taquet par ici.
Tom! Breakfast! Tom! Rudy.
He would like to see you.
Tom Tom? Tom It's Rudy.
What? He wants you to take his hand.
"Mon frère formidable".
Rudy Rudy, you go get them.
What? You go get them, Rudy.
The bad guys.
I don't know who they are anymore.
I think I'm one of them.
No, Rudy.
No, not yet.
You're not one of them.
You're not.
Kate says here, if it's okay with you.
- Okay.
I'm not gonna cry, Kate.
- Was worth crying for.
I'm really not gonna cry.
Why don't you take her in now.
Why? I just don't understand it, you know.
It just doesn't make any sense to me! Not everything comes out even for you.
It never has, it never will.
He died on the happiest day of his life.
And that's something.
Goodbye, my darling.
Rest well.
Find out, on top, that you can't have another one.
That's a cataclysm.
Some women just don't come out of it.
That's all.
At the close of the market today, you were worth something in excess of $48,000.
We got it.
We got the boat.
watching results on TV.
Suddenly she went absolutely-- Please, do not speak about the Senator's wife, as she's just left the room.
She's very much present and would like a drink.
You've had enough to drink.
- Here he is, boys! The Senator from Whitby, and that's only the beginning.
Senator, look this way, please.
Very good.
Thank you, Senator.
Good morning, sweetie.
- Martha! You look nice.
- I am nice.
Orange juice, corn flakes, strawberries.
Coming up, scrambled eggs, home fried potatoes, sausages, blueberry muffins and jam.
That's beautiful.
Who we're expecting? The 3rd Marine Division? You should eat something.
You're getting too thin.
Nobody loves a fat senator.
Jordache residence.
Just a minute, I'll see.
It's Mr.
Goodwin.
- Tell him the Senator is in recess.
I'll get it.
Hi, Marsh.
Well, listen.
I'm gonna be down at "The Sentinel" at 11.
So, why don't you stop by there? Fine, I'll see you then.
I thought we were gonna have a couple of days to ourselves.
You're on.
This is just half an hour.
A couple of odds and ends.
Why didn't you ask him over here? Well, we've gotta stop down there anyway.
We're donating a piece of equipment to the college paper.
What's in the mail? Anything from Billy? My son is not much of a writer, it seems.
But We got a nice long letter from your brother.
- How is he? Well, let's see.
The boat it's been in dry dock again.
They scraped the hull, trued the propellers, repaired the generator, painted the hull, put in a new galley.
Let's say this about Tom.
His letters aren't burden with sentiment.
Not yet.
They took the Diesels apart.
Are they making any money? I guess they're not really setting the world on fire.
It says that if we've got any rich friends who might like the idea of a Mediterranean cruise this summer, to mention his name.
And then it says: "No joke.
" And he's got that underlined.
Here, he sends a snapshot too.
"This is me and my partner Roy.
" "Motor Cruiser CLOTHILDE".
"Marina Antibes" "Clothilde" Where did they get a name like that? Well, the world is waiting.
Hey, Rudy.
You know? I get the feel that Tom can really use some help.
I'll see what I can do.
But, why don't you talk to your buddy Marsh Goodwin? Irene tells me they're very big in the south of France.
I always get this feeling.
There's something about Marsh Godwin that irks you.
No, it doesn't irk me.
It really doesn't.
Sometimes he scares me, though.
Why? I don't understand.
-Neither do I.
But there you have it.
Me, I guess.
Listen, I might just have to bring him back here for lunch.
You mean, in case I was planning a lube before noon? I didn't say that.
I know.
I'm sorry.
Could I get one of you two shaking hands? - Well, I'd be delighted.
If I'm not compromising Mr.
McGee's principles.
We can always crop it if we run off in "The Broom".
Can you move down by the enlarger, please? - Certainly.
"The broom"? It was "The Bengal" when I worked on in and covered across country.
We changed it last semester.
"The Broom"? Well, sweep clean.
- We intend to.
Incidently we had some problems-- when trying to change the name from "The Bengal" to "The Broom".
Briber! The Senator alone, smiling.
Thank you.
I've gotta get back home.
Are we cleared up, Marsh? I think that about covers everything.
You mind to cover more photographs, Senator? Our photographer just arrived.
My pleasure.
Where have you been, locked in? - I'm sorry.
I got all hung up.
It won't be a minute, okay? A couple of questions, Senator? All right, but I wanted understood this enlarger is intended as a bribe.
It's on audit.
- So go easy.
Okay.
You're a rich man.
Worked your way through school.
Made X million dollars before you were 35.
Why don't you take it easy and relax? What are you trying to prove? - That the system works.
You really believe that? - Not perfectly, but we're trying.
So I keep hearing.
What's this I heard about you running for the US Senate in 66? You'll have to ask our party cool chairman about that.
Marsh Let me ask you instead.
Would you vote for Rudy Jordache? You're putting me on.
Well, there goes the enlarger.
-No, no.
Wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
Thank you, all of you.
Have you looked in my voting record? I'm driving Marsh Goodwin nutso for practically everything you are.
Oh, that's great.
And you offer tearing down the country and starting it fresh.
Fantastic! What if we did? I've got a field of expertise.
I can actually bake bread for people to eat.
What can you do, besides bellyache? - What your problem is, Mr.
jordache, you got too much money.
If you're looking for the word to describe that attitude is bigotry.
- I'll differ to your expertise in that field too.
Give up, Rudy.
You can't win.
Hey, don't let him hassle you.
Really.
You're really a nice guy.
- For a Neardenthal.
Thanks for the enlarger.
Thank you.
- Thank you.
It's a nice gimmick that photo enlarger.
You know, you got a feel for the young vote.
Now, if you want some advice on how to please their fathers, get on the right side of the ROTC issue.
I was intending to do that, Marsh.
Believe or not, some of the stands I take are things I believe in.
Of course.
My car is down here.
How is Julie these days? Well, she's never been a 100% since she lost the baby.
That was a long ago, wasn't it? - Quite a while.
Why? - No reason.
I just wish she were a little more visible, that's all.
The right kind of a wife can be a terrific asset to a political figure.
Particularly in Washington.
Just a minute, Marsh.
What are you saying to me? - I'm not saying anything.
I'm just asking a question.
You mean: Will Julie embarrass me politically? Marsh, 3 months of psychotherapy does not constitute a mental breakdown.
Of course not.
I just asked how she was.
She's fine.
That's all I wanna know.
Matter of fact, why don't you come out for lunch today? Julie was just saying we don't see enough of you.
Sounds great.
But I got to get back to Washinghton this afternoon.
Irene is closing the house.
Where are you going? The South of France again? If that's something I like, why change? Hey, have you ever thought about chattering a yacht down there? We tried it a couple of years ago.
We liked it, except: a) The skipper was a lush.
and b) The food was unfit for human comsuption.
That's what you get for not checking with me.
This time you gotta go in style.
My brother's boat.
It's there, the "Clothilde".
Hey, Roy.
Come here.
I'm gonna kill the Spanish cook.
Are you sure you told that cook today? Sure, I'm sure I told him.
He said he'd be here this morning at 8 o'clock.
Here comes that charter.
What are we gonna do? I don't know, man.
You're the captain.
- Oh, Jordache.
-Mr.
Goodwin.
I'm Tom.
This is my partner, Roy.
- Pleased to meet you, Tom, Roy.
Where is the luggage? - It's all on board, sir.
- Oh, good.
This is my wife, Irene.
- How do you do? - How do you do? Well What do you think, dear? Isn't she a beauty? She's not as large as the "Siesta", is she? This is a much nicer boat than the "Siesta", dear.
Besides, Tom tells me he's got the best cook in the Mediterranean forest.
Isn't that what you wrote? Yes, that's right, sir.
The cook is in town getting a few odds and ends at the moment.
Well, we have a few things we'd like to pick up ourselves.
When do you think you'll be ready to shove off? About an hour? Hour and a half.
All right.
Thank you.
See you back here about 1:30, all right? - Uhuh, fine.
Oh I still think it's a mistake.
- Oh, dear Maybe.
Every time we go to the South of France-- Keep an eye on things and take care of this, will ya? - Where are you off to? We gotta go find ourselves a cook, dead or alive.
This is it, the 28.
Hey, monsieur! Monsieur! Hey, you in there! - Fuck off! Hey, we're looking for Ref-- - Refugio González.
I said "Fuck off".
Who do you think you are? Popeye the sailorman? González, where is he? - Too late.
What do you mean "too late"? - I hired him for 3 weeks and gave him 50 bucks in advance.
That's too bad.
I 'm afraid he's got a previous engagement.
The hell he's got a previous engagement! - The hell he has it! Drunk and disorderly, 30 days.
- What? Drunk and disorderly? - Yeah.
With a little assault and battery for an end.
I mean, he's in jail? Yeah, you're quick.
That's what I mean.
He's in jail and I hope he rots there, the creep.
Now, what are we gonna do about a cook? We're gonna get a cook if I have to go on the first restaurant I see and kidnap.
Come on.
Hey, what kind of cook you need? - It's for a yacht.
A charter party.
Come on, Roy.
Hey, wait a minute.
Wait a minute, listen.
Hey, I got a proposition for ya.
Could bet you have, honey.
- Oh, come on.
Just listen to me.
Some other time.
You-all! I got a way of solving all of your problems.
That you don't wanna listen, it's your tough luck.
- What's that? The greatest cook you'd ever saw.
Come on, Roy, let's go.
- Wait a minute, she's a cook.
Her? - Yeah, me.
Where did you ever learn to cook? - I worked 2 years in Leone's "Quo Vadis".
Never heard of him.
- I never heard of you either.
Yeah, I've heard about it.
It's a great place.
Fantastic food.
How do I know you worked there? - How do I know you got a yacht? You look like a white slaver to me.
Come on, Roy.
Let's get out of here.
Hey, look, it's 1:15.
Come on.
Just give me a chance.
Just let me cook one meal.
And if it's good, I got a job.
And if not, I'll leave.
All right, if not so help me God, I'll kick your little butt right out the boat myself.
Fair is fair.
I had no idea this famous chef of yours was a female.
Whether attractive, too.
I'm looking forward to this.
Aren't you, dear? - Oh, with bated breath.
But I can't promise you a gourmet meal.
Not for a strike up over the barrel.
Well, I'll settle for anything.
Just something to eat, please.
An nightcrawler or a stale crust of bread.
Anything.
Excuse me.
Okay.
Let me see.
Okay, fine.
Go on.
Well, I'm afraid that is potluck tonight.
It's fish chowder and salad.
If we can get into port tomorrow, I can pick up some proper supplies.
Honey, you've gotta get this recipe.
- It's not half bad at that.
You better hang on to her, captain.
We may be taking her home with us.
I'm getting all my stuff out.
If there's anything you need, just holler.
I think I'll be quite comfortable.
- Yeah.
Kate, that was really a great dinner.
They really went over it good.
This is really a great book.
Good night.
- Yeah.
I'm gonna be bunking with Roy.
- Thank you.
If there's anything you need day or night - Oh, there's nothing I need.
Anything does come up - Oh, well, you'd be the first.
- Yeah.
get out of here, too.
It's a saved bomb glove.
Now, would you get the hell out of my room, please? Captain? You got my bag.
Oh, yeah.
Sweet dreams.
Are you sure you don't want anything? It's been a really nice 2 weeks, Tom.
Yeah, but I wish we had another charter lined up.
There'll be other charter parties.
- I hope so.
What do you mean? - Economics.
We're not making the expenses.
You worked so hard to make this boat nice.
- I was hoping to bring my son out.
I thought it would a good place to bring him up.
Want some coffee? Yeah, black.
I didn't know you had a son.
- Wesley.
That's some name, huh? He's a great kid, though.
Ah, thank you.
Where is he? - I don't know.
His mother took off with him when he was 3.
You mean she just took off? - Yeah.
She was an alley cat.
So was I, not better.
I guessed we just got tired of howling at each other.
One day I came home and she was gone.
No loss.
I sure would like to see that kid again, though.
Why don't you? - I don't even know where he is.
You must have some ideas.
Here in the States somewhere? Well, I suppose.
My brother's got some people looking for him.
Investigators.
But they're not doing too well.
Why don't you try and find him? - I can't.
I can't go home.
Never? - That's a long story I'll tell you sometime.
Well, listen.
I am really sorry.
Don't be sorry.
- Thanks.
You know you gotta keep it.
- Yeah.
Taking her in? No, sir, there's no chance of getting in from here.
We're gonna have to go around the point to the harbor.
That's gonna take all day.
Our hotel is right over there.
I know, ma'am, but there's no chance to land from here.
Why not? Because these rocks on the way will tear the bottom off the boat, Marsh.
Oh, that's a lot of hooey.
Either you take us in or we're swimming ashore.
That's a bad idea, ma'am.
It'll tear the bottom of you, too.
Listen, I swam in and out of rocks around Newport.
Well, this isn't Newport.
Oh, you know, captain, you have a talent for stating the obvious.
Well, it's not only the rocks, ma'am.
Marsh, there is a current.
Will you tell him to do as I say or else I'm swimming.
Take her in.
Excuse me.
-Excuse me.
She wants to swim in.
- What? That idiot.
Why would she wanna do that? - I don't know.
I guess she's trying to make him prove he's a man.
They've been drinking scotch all day.
You know that, don't you? I'm telling you-- You, come on, come on, come on! I thought I told you to take its fore in.
- I'm sorry, Marsh.
I can't do that.
Why not? - Because, sir, I don't wanna see you kill yourself.
I paid a lot of money for this charter.
- Yes, sir.
I know that, Marsh.
Then do as I tell you! - I'm sorry.
Excuse me.
I'll take hold and you better go below.
- Oh, captain Oh, see Want some more? That about is, Marsh? Marsh! Any sign of them, Kate? - Yeah, I just saw them down below.
They finished packing.
Hey, that solves none of that, man.
I'm proud of you.
- For losing my temper? You know what? You gotta hit me over the head with a bottle.
Violent type, isn't he? Haven't you figured this guy out yet? You see? He's one of them primitives.
Yeah? Yeah? Well, I'll tell you some.
If we ever had a chance, I just blew it for us.
What do you mean "us", white man? I'm just visiting.
You know what they call people who desert sinking ships, don't you? Nobody's asked me to stay.
Thank you.
I just wanna thank you for a nice cruise.
I wanna settle up.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
Thank you.
You're a good cook.
- Thanks.
This is too much.
- It's my way of apologizing.
Nah, you don't have to apologize.
- Look I'm not very good at admitting mistakes, but you saved our dumb necks.
Let's just say that from now on, you'll have more referral business than you can handle, okay? - Okay.
Incidently, we'd like to book you early for next year.
We'd like the full month of June if that's convenient.
The full month? Fine Roy? Well, we're kind of busy, actually.
- What do you think, Kate? I think we can probably juggle our schedule to accomodate everybody.
"Au revoir" and see you next year.
- Fine.
No, no.
Allow me.
I want to thank you for juggling our busy schedule.
- You're welcome.
Does that mean you're gonna stick around? I don't know.
You don't know? - Nobody's bothered to ask.
Well I'm asking you.
Who was Clothilde? - Huh? What's that got to do with anything? Dwyer told me that when you bought the boat you changed the name.
Uh, he did, huh? Who was she? Queen of France? - Come on.
She was just somebody I knew when I was a boy.
She smelled fresh like you.
I'm not all that fresh, you know.
.
- Whoa, you're not, huh? Kate, wherever you've been or wherever you've done, it doesn't make any difference to me.
I just get the feeling that every time I make love to you I'm gonna forget another bad thing in my life.
What do you want? - Mr.
Schmidt? George Schmidt? - What do you want? A friend of yours asked me to give you this.
What's that supposed to buy? Aren't you the George Schmidt who used to manage some pretty good fighters? Pros gone away champs.
Is that good enough for you? Tom Jordache is my brother.
How did you find me? Through the Madison Square Garden.
Why me? - I'm looking for someone who might help me find my brother's son.
Your brother here owes me 150 bucks.
Here's 50 more on account.
I'll send the rest over tomorrow.
What's he doing these days? Still out of the country? That's right.
You have no idea what your brother did, huh? Well, I know he was in trouble with some people, but that's all I've known.
He damn near killed a fighter named Joey Quales.
Got him in a motel room in Vegas.
Put him out of commission.
Was in the hospital for 6 months.
Never worthed a damn after that.
Joey Quales was mafia property.
Lock, stock, and jockstrap.
They weren't too thrilled about it.
- Are they still looking for him? - No.
There's no more heat.
There's no more anything.
You mean he can come back to this country? He can come back and lead the Columbus Day Parade down 5th Av.
Just one more thing.
What about his wife? Somebody turned her out.
- I don't understand.
What do you want for a lousy 150 bucks? You want a college education? I want an answer in English.
She calls herself Teresa Laval.
You don't know where she lives? - I don't even know where the hell I live.
Now, beat it.
I'm missing my program.
Check the 23rd precinct.
Yeah, yeah, I hear you.
It's believing, that's the hard part.
Hey, you mean I'm clear? You're positively clear, Tom.
And there's more.
I located your boy.
Wesley? Are you sure? - Positive.
Look, it's a long story.
You just be on that plane tomorrow and I'll fill you in, okay? Okay, okay.
But I don't think I need a plane.
- I'll see you tomorrow.
See you tomorrow.
Was that for me? - No, it's Tom.
He's coming home.
Were you expecting a call? - Yes, Billy.
What's the matter? I got a letter from his faculty advisers a couple of days ago.
Why didn't you say something to me? - I don't like to bug you about him.
Look, Julie, it bugs me when you shut me off.
Now, you know I look at Billy as is he were my own son.
I know, I know.
- So What's he up to? His grades are getting worse.
- What else is new? "What else" is a National Selective Service act.
They drop him out of school and get drafted.
Well, worse things can happen.
- Then getting your head blown up in Vietnam? Wait a minute, honey, wait a minute.
Look, it's not quite that automatic.
You don't induct a boy and 2 months later you send the corpse home to his mother.
A lot of boys serve out their time.
They come home without a scratch.
In fact, a lot of them are not even sent out of the States.
So, is that supposed to make me feel better or something? Look, Julie.
How about this? What if we fly out to the coast.
Go have a talk with him.
Can we? - No reason why not.
When? - Just one thing at a time, please.
I've a got a brother coming home from France tomorrow.
All right.
But you won't forget.
You want a drink? - Oh, I'd love a drink.
Tell me about my ever loving bride, will you? All right.
Where was I? Let's see.
You just left Smitty and you went out to the 23rd precinct.
- Yeah.
Going gets a little rougher from here on.
- Go on, I'm a big strong fella.
Right.
Well, in the first place, you're not married anymore.
I'm what? She got a divorce from you a couple of years ago on the grounds of desertion.
Gee, that's funny.
That's really funny.
It gets even funnier.
She's living with a guy named Laval up on 116th Street.
Oh, I hate just looking at her.
I don't care about hers.
It's the boy I'm concerned about.
He is in the military academy up near Tarrytown.
I don't know anything about a Laval.
But I do know she's been picked up 3 times for soliciting in bars.
She's a professional.
When a knew her, she was not even a gifted amateur.
I talked to my lawyer.
He tells me you can get custody on the strings of these convictions without any trouble.
Maybe I ought to call her up.
Maybe she's learned how to do it by now.
To betting on a short bankroll.
Excuse me.
Hello? Hello, Rudy.
Is that you? - Yes, dear.
Listen.
I got another letter from Billy's faculty advisor.
They're gonna put him on probation.
Good.
What's good about it? - Maybe something like that will straight him out.
I thought you said we can fly and talk to him.
All right, if you want to.
- When? Soon.
Why can we go right now? - Because I've got a billing committee.
Three appointments I'm trying to push through and an obligation to the voters.
I'm willing to help Billy, but that doesn't mean I'm gonna drop everything, and daze madly across the continent every time he fails to turn in an assignment.
Besides-- Julie? How is Julie these days? - Fine, fine, fine.
Not so fine, really.
She's got her problems.
You too? I wonder what our lives would've been like if you haven't left home then.
No difference.
Rudy, you'd still be out there in that track, going full speed, not beat back there, huffed and puffed.
Marsh tells me you're doing just great.
Yeah, we're doing fine.
We're doing all right.
Boat's been cleaned up.
Well, we're never gonna make much money, but Some guys are coming out with this new radar, and everything was gonna get a lot tougher, but I'll tell you something, Rudy.
I had a dream when we were kids sharing that double bed.
That life could be so good.
Hold on.
Your name is Jordache? - That's right.
You say you're cadet Jordache's father? - You're two for two, Colonel.
What do you want from me, Mr.
Jordache? Well, I've come to see my son.
- Cadet Jordache is at drill at the moment.
Well, I hate to interrupt his marching, Colonel, but I've come clear from France.
We have regular visiting days.
Why don't you just tell yourself this is one of them.
It happens to be another small problem, Mr.
Jordache, if that's your name.
If that's my name? - That's what I said.
According to our files here Wesley Robert Jordache's father is dead.
Here it is, black and white.
Well, I am his father, Colonel.
I'm not dead.
And it just so happens I have a brand new U.
S.
passport.
Of course there's always the possibility there was a clerical error made.
Colonel have you ever met Mrs.
Jordache? No, I've never have the pleasure.
Actually-- - What she does for a living.
Antique business, isn't it? You might say that she handles a few antiques, yes.
Matter of fact I was wishing that Mrs.
Jordache would come up here.
You, been here today, might be just a struck of luck.
Oh, why? What do you mean? To tell you the truth, we're having trouble with your son.
Trouble, what kind of trouble? - Fighting.
Well, isn't that what you're trying to do here? Make a fighting man out of these boys.
- Not this kind of fighting.
Sorry to say, but your son has been a major problem.
Well, I'm gonna solve your problem, Colonel.
- How? I'm gonna take my boy out of this dump this afternoon.
Out of the question.
But I'm telling you, Colonel.
I'm gonna take him out of here this afternoon.
Absolutely impossible.
Can't take him out unless both parents consent to it.
I just saw we won't waste each other's time, Colonel.
Take a look at that.
It's all there in black and white.
An arrest record? - Teresa Jordache alias Teresa Laval.
The charge is soliciting.
She's a hooker, Colonel.
You still wanna keep my boy? I have to say this alters things considerably.
I'd say you're absolutely right.
First thing we're gonna do is getting some decent clothes.
-Yes, sir.
Don't call me "sir".
I'm your father.
Hello, Billy.
- Hey, Rudy, mother.
It's so good to see you.
Hey, go in for me.
I got visitors.
We missed you at the airport.
- Well, I had this ball game.
Billy, how-- Is that your girl? Oh, no, no.
My girl's folks are down for the weekend.
She has to pretend I don't exist.
Why? Don't they like you? Well, her father can't stand me.
He thinks I'm an inmoral influence.
That I even smoke pot.
Well, do you? Actually, I prefer booze, mother.
Just like you.
Don't attack, Billy.
- Okay.
Let's change the subject.
Hey, are you planning to be out here long? - As long as it takes.
What? - To find out what's the matter with you.
You might as well know we've been with your faculty advisor all morning.
The plastic hippie? Don't you have a good word to say for anybody? Yeah, Albert Camus, but he is dead.
It may interest you to know you're just about to flunk out of this school.
Look, if you get dumped, you're be drafted.
Did you have a think about that? - You know, I thought about a lot of things.
You'd be surprised.
I was thinking about my father just the other day.
How he got killed in that accident.
If it was an accident.
What does that mean? - Billy called me, you know.
Told me about the big job you got him out in Santa Barbara.
That he wasn't going to be seeing us anymore.
- Rudy was trying to help your father.
Well, it doesn't matter.
Nothing does, really.
That's just a copout for not doing anything.
Hey, just a minute.
Who the hell do you think you are to turn your back on your mother and walk away? It's all right, Rudy.
Don't, please.
You know, if you don't like the way I've turned out, that's too bad, but it's not your fault.
Well, how could it be? I haven't seen you for more than 2 weeks in a row since I was 13 years old.
Or you were always there with the old handshake and the $50 bill or a new sports car.
Let me tell you a secret: It never really helped.
I know it's crazy.
I know he probably got drunk and went to sleep at the wheel.
But I look at you and couldn't help feeling if it weren't for you my father still be alive.
Billy, that doesn't make sense.
- I know.
Let's pretend I never said it.
You just forget about me.
Oh, terrific.
How am I supposed to do that? The same way you forgot about my father.
Is that the way you wanna leave it? - Goodbye, mother.
I will write to you.
Are you ready? - Yeah.
Hey, twins.
- Hey, triplets.
Yeah.
Wes! Yeah? - You got the duty.
Check lines about every hour.
And we'll be back around 6:00.
Yes, sir.
- There's chow in the galley.
Hey.
You all right? - Groovy.
Now you take care of this thing.
That's all we got.
Aye, aye, captain.
You're all navy.
"Hey, signore, le bateau c'est très jolie.
" I don't speak French.
We like the boat.
We think it is very pretty.
Oh, come on on board.
You own this boat? Yeah, sure.
Come and see for yourself.
Really, here's the gangway.
Come on aboard and see it for yourself.
Yeah.
Here's one right here over Nice.
"Nue dans la rue.
" Sounds okay, doesn't it? You'll get us into see a skin flick.
-No, I'm not.
It says right here, it says: "Very educational film".
Right there.
Then how come they won't let kids in? Where does it say they won't let kids in? Right here.
"Interdit aux mineure.
" Oh, that's because they're going for the married crowd.
Yes, here says: Singles get in for 6 francs.
Man and wife get in for 9 francs.
I just thought of a great way of saving 3 francs.
I wanna see a nice film where the ladies don't take their clothes off and they do some proper acting.
But if you hurry with that second drink, we get a chance to get married before the 7:00 show.
Are you proposing to me? - Well, it's a great way for saving the 75 cents.
Kate, I love you.
I want you to marry me.
It's a lovely idea.
But it wouldn't be fair to Wes.
- Wes? What Wes got to do with this? I mean, he's gotta have a chance to get his bearings.
You know, I mean, he's got to get used to a whole new father, a whole new country, a whole new language, a whole new life.
What would it be if I walked in and said: "Hi, I'm your new mom!" I mean, that's enough to drive him right around the bend.
Is that a long drawn out way of saying no? That's a long drawn out way of saying that I'm very flattered.
And that I hope you'll ask me again sometime.
Roy? - What is it? I'm glad I got you.
What? What's the matter? Is the Wes? - Oh, no, no, he's fine.
I wish I can say the same about the boat.
- Oh, what happened? Well, the kid took the "Clothilde" down.
He hit a submerged log.
We got a lot of damage.
How is it? It's not a good prospect: Two bent blades.
I think the shaft's bent, too.
Oh, that's beautiful.
That's just beautiful.
Just go find the kid.
I'll bond the trunk.
- Right, right.
I couldn't find him.
"Old Cookie Jar" says he saw him heading towards Cannes.
Now, don't be too hard on him.
You know how it feels.
But just how in the hell do you think I feel? Wes! Wes.
Get up.
I'm sorry, Pa.
I didn't mean to do it.
Come here.
Tomorrow I'm gonna show you how to fix a propeller.
Come on.
Hey, guess who I saw in town.
- Who did you see in town? Oh, an old friend of ours by the name of Falconetti.
Are you sure you saw him? - Positive.
Got a black eye patch.
Courtesy of Tom Jordache.
- Who's Falconetti? He's just a mere nobody.
- Who is he, Pa? Come on, come on.
Help me with this thing, will you? I'll pull this over.
You tie this one down.
Here you go.
Wes, tie that down, will ya? I'll watch you.
You know? Pinkie said it a long time ago, and he was right.
- What? "You don't have to be a bloody Tudor to live like a king.
" The kid steers pretty to a course, doesn't he? - So does his old man.
I think you've done a pretty good job with him.
Kate, it's a good life.
- Yes, it is.
Our lives together, sharing.
Yeah.
There's only one thing that will make it perfect.
What? A radar.
What did I do, though? What did I do, though? It's what you didn't do.
This time I was gonna say yes.
Okay, I'm asking you.
- Then I'm saying yes.
But only for one reason.
- What's that? I just don't think that it would be fair to to leave your second son without a name.
Kate, you know what we're gonna have? A baby.
- Yeah, I know we're gonna have a baby.
We're gonna have the greatest wedding the south of France has ever seen! Hey, Wes! Pinkie! We got plans to make.
End ROTC in Whitby End ROTC in Whitby Is somebody planning to answer that? What time do you get to Washington? - Late this afternoon.
I'm gonna catch there a new shuttle plane down to New York.
Well, I wish you luck.
It's top of the mountain, Rudy.
You get the support of this people, there's no telling where you can go in politics.
Oh, well, Marsh says is strictly a matter of shaking hands, making acquaintances-- Excuse me, Mr.
Jordache.
Somebody from the paper.
All right.
Thank you.
Yes? This is he.
They did? Well, have you called the police? No, damn it! I want him arrested! - What is it? The kids from the school just busted our window.
Seems they didn't like our editorial position on the ROTC.
The limousine just drove up, Mr.
Jordache.
You get chief Ottman on it.
Oh, and have Terry do an editorial in a box.
Draw paralells between the new left and the early days of Hitler.
"Freedom of speech is a two-way street", so on That's right.
Okay.
Let's go.
I'm gonna miss my plane.
May I speak to you a minute, sir? - Can't wait? It's about Mrs.
Jordache.
Well, I'm off.
- Have a nice time.
I'm not going there to have a nice time.
Well, have whatever kind of time you're going there to have.
You are in a pretty mood.
Sorry, I have this little ping-pong game going on inside my head this morning.
I'm not really at my best.
- Have you had a drink this morning? What is this? "20 questions"? Just one: Have you had a drink this morning? Did I ever tell you how much I hate it when you get that patient tone in your voice? The fact is you have zonked.
- The fact is I had a beer.
One beer! You'd better get going.
You'll miss your plane.
Well, maybe I'd better stay.
Oh, I am going to be fine.
I really am tip top.
Look, I don't wanna harp on this.
- Will you stop it? Will you please, stop it? You'd better pull yourself together, Julie.
What brought all this on? Have you taken a good look at yourself lately? You really know how to cheer a girl up, buddy.
I am not trying to cheer you up.
I am trying to get through to you.
You have got a problem and you'd better start facing it.
Well, just in case you're wondering, this isn't exactly helping.
What do you mean? I'm driving you to drink? Oh, come on! You got enough excuses without that.
Of the poor lady her son joined the army, so she drinks.
She lost her baby, so she drinks.
Her husband is up in Albany all the time, so she drinks.
She gave up her career.
She had an histerectomy.
The cat had kittens.
They sent the wrong wallpaper.
It rained on her birthday.
You don't need another excuse, honey.
You've got a million of them.
You left out the best one.
- Just anything is enough to set you off.
The one about "poor lady her marriage went out the window.
" You said it.
I didn't.
- Well, it's true, isn't it? Well, maybe we'd better face up to that fact, too when I get back.
Rudy? Look, we will finish this when I get home.
Why don't you try to get some sleep? Call Fenneman.
He'll give you a shot.
I'll call you from Washington.
And for God's sake, stay off the booze! Rudy! Rudy.
- Marsh, is something wrong? There's been a problem up at Whitby.
I've got a plane standing by Wenatchee.
You'd better get back and see what can be done.
But, what's the problem? - Some kids are picking in your house.
Were the police called? - All I know is some rocks were thrown.
Your wife came to the door.
One of the kids got some pictures.
Apparently, she was pretty drunk.
Oh, swell.
- That's not all.
When she came to door, she was naked.
Where the hell were you all this time, chief? I had Roberts and Martin there to keep them out of your garden.
And the chief defensed, Mr.
Senator.
It didn't seem like any big deal.
What happened was, one of the kids started throwing rocks.
And when Roberts and Martin went after them, the front door opened.
What more can I tell ya? You can tell me that some arrest have been made.
You can tell me that the whole system of law in this country doesn't just call off an die because some 18-year-old social-economic philosopher declares it irrelevant! Now, Rudy-- You can tell me that people are not allowed to stone my house- and invade my privacy with impunity.
- Now, Rudy--! If that is the sum of your contribution, Mr.
Mayor, I've heard it.
You can just stop repeating it! All I wanted to say is the kid's sputter it's cooled.
- The kid's? I think we can minimize the political damage, if any, by keeping a low profile on this.
Excuse me, sir.
- Yes, Roberts, what is it? - These pictures.
They're passing them on campus.
Where are they getting this made? - At the school paper, I think, sir.
They're over in the student union, passing them out.
See if you can get the City attorney, will you, chief.
- Yes, Mr.
Mayor.
City attorney's Office.
"The Love Generation" Vicious little creep! Rudy, where are you going? - I'm gonna kick a few irrelevant behinds.
Rudy, wait! Mr.
Senator, please don't go out there without a warrant! Hey, Rudy.
You want a beer? It's not big deal, Mr.
Jordache.
What are you doing, Senator? Hey, Rudy, stop it! It's her eyes.
In the language of flowers, a rose means: "Let's talk".
I didn't know that.
I just made it up.
Don't make me laugh.
I'm not that sure of my stomach yet.
I looked in on you last night but you were asleep.
Fenneman didn't want me to wake you.
I know, he told me.
- What else did he tell you? The whole thing.
I guess I really did it this time, huh? Rudy, I don't even know how to begin to apologize.
You see, in a couple of weeks, it would have been forgotten.
I thought I finished you politically.
- No, I finished myself.
That stunt I pulled was totally unforgivable.
I'm dead.
I should be.
What the hell, it's probably just as well.
What does Marsh Goodwin say? - I think he's avoiding me.
He always did have a lot of class.
I can't blame Marsh.
I'm the one who pushed the girl into the-- How is she doing? I brought Margolis up to see her.
He's the eye man from Johns Hopkins.
And? He can give her 85% vision in the left eye and 75% in the right.
God, I can never forgive myself for that.
- Did you talk to her? Yeah.
She's sitting down there.
And she's got a big white bandage all over the top of her head.
And she said She said we'd better all start learning to love each other.
Or the world God! It's all right, Rudy.
It's all right.
Julie do you think if we really tried there'd be some kind of a chance for us? Maybe maybe if I could give up booze and and you got out of this wrecking.
Maybe there'll be a chance.
I want that chance, Julie.
I really do.
Oh, God, Rudy, so do I.
So do I.
I just saw that you needed it, Pa.
- Yeah, yeah.
No, nothing for me-- - Here, auntie.
"Merci, garçon.
" - Quiet, quiet everybody! I wish to propose a toast to Tom Jordache and his beautiful bride! They came to us as strangers, but now they are part of us.
All the happiness for ever! Hey Wes, let's make a loving cup.
Go, Wes! Guggle it, guggle it, guggle! My boy! Congratulations! Bonne chance.
- Yeah, yeah.
He's quite a kid.
- Yeah, he is.
How's Billy these days? Oh, he's fine, I guess.
He's a door gunner, a helicopter.
Now, when anyone else gets a young hippie, I get John Wayne Junior.
Come on, over here! Mon frère formidable! N'est-ce pas? That's the way they say it over here, which means: Some kind of a guy.
The best! Of which there is no whicher: My brother! Oh, what's that? I don't know.
- Jordache! Jordache! Two Jordaches.
"To Tom and Kate, from Rudy and Julie" What is it? - Why don't you open it and find out? All right, hold it.
It's a radar! A radar! Rudy, you remembered.
We thought it would be a suitable wedding present to help you mark the horizon, recognize hazards and obstacles and avoid wrecks.
This is the greatest damned wedding anybody ever had! Oh, I'm afraid the wedding night might have to be posponed.
Come on! - Yeah.
Fortunately for the future breed, all this is merely technicality.
Listen, would anyone like a drink or sandwiches, anything? - No.
No, thank you.
Goodbye.
Have fun.
Good night.
- Good night, then.
Glad you came? Yeah.
I was just thinking about Tom.
It's the craziest thing What is? Oh, what's happened to him.
Don't you see it? I mean, you think about what he used to be and what he is now.
How people love him.
His son, his wife, his friends.
He's surrounded by love.
It's just amazing how he's changed.
Haven't we all? Yeah.
But he's changed for the better.
Madame? Cognac deux fois, s'il vous plait.
- Oui, madame.
Vous êtes du America? - Yes.
Me too.
You mind if I sit down? Help yourself.
Enchanté.
- Enchanté.
Oh, I think you'd like another one of those, wouldn't you? Hé, garçon! Encore une tournée ici.
Hey you, what is it? What do you want? I've just seen your sister in law.
Where was she? At the strip-tease club.
It's, you know, "La Porte Rose" on the rue Baou sur St.
Clair.
Do you remember? Was she drinking? - Drinking? Man, she was drunk! Was anybody with her? - Yes, that's the thing, she's with a rough big yankee.
Was an one-eye blockhead, nasty, a bit of good she was, too.
- You know him? No at all.
But I asked about him.
It sounded they said Farinetti.
Falconetti.
- Yes, that's it.
You've heard of him? Yeah, I had a little run-in with him once.
- There you're.
- Yeah.
Thanks, Pinky.
- Yeah.
Hey, don't get drunk.
- I never touch the stuff.
Can I go with you? - No, honey.
You can't go with me.
You go back to sleep.
I'm gonna be all right.
Go back to sleep.
Oui, monsieur? - Whisky.
An American girl was in here in a peach dress? I do not remember.
- Yeah.
She was with a big guy, name Falconetti.
Get one eye.
Had a patch on.
Behind the toilettes it's found an escalier.
Perhaps down there one finds what one seeks.
Be careful.
Understand? Bad man.
Bad friends.
Oh, stop it! No, please! No! Please, stop! I've been waiting to see you a long time.
But right this minute you're in my way.
- I just came to get the lady, Falconetti.
Help yourself.
- I didn't come here to fight.
I just came here to take the lady home.
No! Stop it! Oh, don't! Stop it! Stop it! No No! No.
Give me your arm.
- Yeah.
Are you okay? - Yeah.
Listen, tell him anything you want.
I'll back you up.
Okay? You're a solid citizen, Tom.
Smile when you say that, stranger.
You'd better get some sleep.
Honey, come on.
Come on, I'll hold you.
You okay? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm fine.
- Thank you.
Yeah.
It could have been worse.
- You get to tell mommy all about it.
Oh, mommy.
Well, there's nothing to tell.
Except one thing - What's that? I could have killed the man.
I didn't.
Rudy, I just want to say that the-- Look, maybe this conversation had better wait till we both feel better.
It's gonna have to be said sooner or later.
He told me that he was a friend of Tom's.
Faliyetti something.
It doesn't really matter.
I was having a brandy and he came over and sat down next to me.
Would you just tell me why, Julie? After we've been through the hospital.
We've been through the wrench - I don't know! Maybe it was seeing Tom and Wes so happy and thinking about Billy.
I'm such a lousy excuse for a mother! Oh, come on, Julie.
We're just people.
We don't really have the right to expect ourselves to be perfect.
I don't know if I'm ever gonna be able to stop drinking.
Well, all you can do is try.
Maybe it would just be the best thing for both of us if we broke it up now.
Is that the way you feel? Yes.
- Maybe you're right.
Let's don't decide it now.
Ah, monsieur.
Pardon, excusez-moi de vous déranger, mais je cherche le yacht, "Le Corsaire".
On m'a dit que c'est au quai par ici.
Mais, je vois pas.
No, there's no boat "Corsaire".
- Mais, no Vraiment on m'a dit que c'est par ici.
Ah, there was On m'a dit que c'est par ici.
En le taquet par ici.
Tom! Breakfast! Tom! Rudy.
He would like to see you.
Tom Tom? Tom It's Rudy.
What? He wants you to take his hand.
"Mon frère formidable".
Rudy Rudy, you go get them.
What? You go get them, Rudy.
The bad guys.
I don't know who they are anymore.
I think I'm one of them.
No, Rudy.
No, not yet.
You're not one of them.
You're not.
Kate says here, if it's okay with you.
- Okay.
I'm not gonna cry, Kate.
- Was worth crying for.
I'm really not gonna cry.
Why don't you take her in now.
Why? I just don't understand it, you know.
It just doesn't make any sense to me! Not everything comes out even for you.
It never has, it never will.
He died on the happiest day of his life.
And that's something.
Goodbye, my darling.
Rest well.
