Jason, I'm bored.
:06:22
I'm bored with cocktail parties
and opening nights.

:06:25
I'm bored with the opera
and weekends at the races.

:06:28
A few days in Paris might be the thing
to get the creative juices flowing.

:06:32
- George can cable the Ritz for the suite.
- Not Paris.

:06:35
I'm talking about someplace completely
different. Like Morocco. Or Egypt.

:06:40
Ooh. A boat trip down the Nile.
Sounds so romantic.

:06:44
I've got just the dress
to wear to the pyramids.

:06:47
Hey, we could leave next week.
Spend a couple of weeks there.

:06:50
Maybe stop in Casablanca or Tangiers
as we hop around,...

:06:53
..and still be back in time
for the opening of my new play.

:06:56
To Cairo, Morocco and Tangiers, to all the
exotic and romantic places in the world.

:07:04
- Hey, there's another room in here.
- Oh, isn't it divine?

:07:08
Everything's so perfectly preserved.
:07:10
Lovely. I just don't want to feel
a bandaged hand around my throat.

:07:14
- Oh, hi, there. Who are you?
:07:16
- Sightseers. We thought we were alone.
- You gave me quite a start.

:07:20
Oh. I'm awfully sorry.
Tom Baxter, explorer, adventurer.

:07:23
- I'm doing a little archaeological work.
- A real-life explorer!

:07:27
I'm in search of the Purple Rose of Cairo.
:07:29
It's an old legend
that's fascinated me for years.

:07:32
A pharaoh had a rose
painted purple for his queen,...

:07:35
..and now the story says
purple roses grow wild at her tomb.

:07:38
- How romantic.
- And you?

:07:40
We go back to New York tomorrow.
It's been a refreshing two weeks.

:07:44
We could bring him to meet the Countess.
She loves a pith helmet.

:07:47
- Right.
- I will say it's tempting.

:07:50
It's settled. You can explain what
we've been looking at for two weeks,...

:07:54
- ..and we can take you nightclubbing.
- It's so impulsive, but...

:07:58
I'll come. Why not? I mean,
what's life without a little risk-taking?
