Hello, Ellie? Look, can you
get a hold of Rita for me?

:18:07
Good. Tell her I'm canceling today.
:18:09
No, no. I'll set it up again
for sometime next week.

:18:11
Thanks a lot.
So long.

:18:14
My, my. Aren't we domestic.
Yes, very. It's the French in me.

:18:19
I am an incredible cook though.
Maman taught me.

:18:21
Well, I'm pretty famous
for my peanut butter sandwiches myself.

:18:24
I don't know how you men live through
bachelorhood. Must be terrible.

:18:28
It's great, and I wouldn't have it
any other way.

:18:30
I guess my dad
set the example for me.

:18:32
He enjoyed life so much
by not being married.

:18:34
That is, after my mother died,
he just never remarried...

:18:37
and had all of his girlfriends to bounce me
on their pretty knees and kiss me good night.

:18:41
My dad sure could pick 'em.
:18:43
He still can.
Adam Wright.

:18:45
You must have heard of him.
No.

:18:47
He's pretty famous
as a commercial artist too.

:18:49
In fact, right now he's in Europe painting
the beautiful ladies for a cigarette campaign.

:18:52
Well, it all sounds
pretty sordid to me.

:18:58
Maybe you should see a psychiatrist.
Thank you, but I'm happy as I am... free.

:19:03
Well, I guess
I have to agree with you there.

:19:05
I mean, who needs the drudgery
of married life?

:19:08
Still, for a man,
marriage is the ideal state.

:19:11
No more sinks full of dirty dishes. No more
peanut butter sandwiches. And companionship.

:19:14
May I remind you that New York is full of great
restaurants, very few of which serve peanut butter.

:19:18
And for a buck and a half an hour,
all these dishes disappear.

:19:21
And as far as companionship is concerned,
well, I have a little black book,

:19:24
and in it are the names
and phone numbers of 111 models.

:19:27
Bachelorhood
is the ideal state for a man.

:19:29
Marriage, little Miss Stacy, well, that's
an institution sponsored by women for women.

:19:33
When the coffee's ready,
you can bring it in.

:19:35
I'm gonna set up the camera.
:19:39
When the coffee's ready,
little Miss Stacy, you can bring it in.

:19:46
I'm gonna submit these pictures for a
calendar that Goodman Tires is planning.

:19:49
if I get the assignment,
it'll be quite a feather in my lens.

:19:52
We'll shoot the month of March today.
:19:55
Say, how goes it in there anyway?
:19:57
Oh, I can find everything in here
but the dress.

:19:59
Well, it's not a dress exactly. It's a...
Well, it's in that little white box in there.
