:09:05
-Make yourself a drink.
-I don't drink.
:09:12
Bef ore I worked at Paul's, I used to
think actors made up their own lines.
:09:17
When they get to be big stars
they usually do.
:09:23
What? Change your mind?
:09:25
You asked me here to tell you
the story of Alathea Bruce.
:09:29
Althea.
:09:30
If that was just a pretence
to lure me--
:09:33
-You want to go now?
-Well, no. Not unless--
:09:36
I changed because I like to be
comf ortable when I work.
:09:40
Oh. Well.
:09:43
I'll have a ginger ale with a twist of
lemon. That's known as a horse's neck.
:09:58
-How do you want me to tell the story?
-Just how you'd tell your Aunt Cora.
:10:03
Well, it's about this woman,
Alathea Bruce. She's very rich.
:10:07
She owns this big mansion
on Long Island.
:10:10
She's got sailboats and cars and jewels
and everything. And she's a widow.
:10:16
Lucky Althea.
:10:19
She's got many men in her life, and they
take her to lots of different clubs.
:10:24
-But they don't send Alathea.
-Althea.
:10:28
One day she looks out and sees
a new lifeguard outside her window...
:10:32
...and it's very beautif ully described.
He looks like a bronzed Apollo.
:10:38
-I hope it's gonna be in Technicolor.
-I'll suggest that to the producer.
:10:43
Alathea sends her butler to ask
the lifeguard to have breakf ast.
:10:48
But instead, they have whiskey sours.
It's a very risky scene.
:10:55
-Did I tell you about her husband?
-You told me he was dead.
:10:59
I mean about the way he died.
