:15:00
- We'll survive.
- Survival is scarcely the point.
:15:03
Presumably, when you're married
to Marguerite, you'll want
a place on the Riviera,
:15:06
fast car, couple of mistresses.
- "Presumably" ?
:15:09
- Just because you need those things ?
- No, just this fading mansion,
:15:12
the slowest Bentley in Wiltshire,
and only one mistress, I'm afraid.
:15:15
Tea, the Finnish bird who runs
the sauna in Salisbury.
:15:18
Oh, you know about Tea, do you ?
:15:20
Marguerite and I have no
secrets from each other.
:15:22
Not even mine, it seems.
:15:25
Tea is a Karelian Goddess.
:15:27
Her golden hair smells of pine,
:15:30
and her cobalt eyes are the secret
forest pools of Finlandia.
:15:34
I hear she's a well-scrubbed blonde with
all the sex appeal of a secondhand jeep.
:15:38
Not so, dear boy. You can take it from me.
:15:41
Tea is an engaging little trollop
and suits me mightily.
:15:43
Mind you, she takes a
bit of keeping up with.
:15:45
It's a good thing I am pretty much
of an olympic sexual athlete.
:15:50
Yes, I suppose these days you are
concentrating more on the sprints...
:15:54
than on the long-distance stuff.
:15:56
Not so, dear boy.
I'm in the pink of condition.
:15:59
I could copulate for England
at any distance.
:16:03
Red.
:16:05
Well, as they say in the Olympics,
:16:07
it's not the winning, it's
the taking part that counts.
:16:11
- Are you going to marry her ?
- Oh, no, no, no. I just
want to live with her.
:16:15
- So what's stopping you ?
- Basically the firm of
Prurien and Pry, ltd.,
:16:19
Whom you and Marguerite
have seen fit to employ.
:16:22
Don't be so innocent.
:16:24
Those nicotine-stained private
detectives have been camping
outside Tea's for the last week.
:16:29
It was an insurance policy
to keep you from changing
your mind about the divorce.
:16:34
- How do you know I wasn't
having you watched, hmm ?
- Why not ?
:16:37
Afraid of what you might find out ?
Or didn't you think that was possible ?
:16:41
Now, don't start doing a fertility dance.
:16:42
Of course I knew they'd find you and
Marguerite rutting away like crazed weasels.
:16:46
But why should I pay good money
to have something confirmed
which I'd known for months ?
:16:52
- Black.
- Then if you knew, why didn't
you do something about it ?
:16:56
I had to assure myself that you and
Marguerite were going to be a fixture.
:16:59
You see, I want to lose the
dear girl for life, not just...
