:15:00
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you
Henley's new Elizabethan collection.

:15:06
Opening with a selection
of costumes de baigneuse...

:15:10
with a touch of rococo...
:15:12
in aquamarine...
:15:13
bleute, and nuit...
:15:16
decorated with cerulean oysters...
:15:18
pearled fish, scallop shells...
:15:21
and shimmering starfish.
:15:23
Guaranteed to sink any passing ship.
:15:27
And for evening wear,
our shell and mermaid creations...

:15:30
in crepuscule and turquoise...
:15:32
and inlaid with over 18,000 Majorcan pearls.
:15:39
And for the more daring among you...
:15:42
our latest bikini styles
in oyster and coral motifs.

:15:47
Henley, you have got to be kidding.
:15:50
I mean, you are not seriously
going to show these gowns in Paris.

:15:54
Honey, they will laugh you off the stage.
:15:57
And, Henley, hemlines can"t come down.
They"ve got to go up.

:16:01
Dido, there"s nothing worse
than the back of a woman"s knees.

:16:04
They remind me of uncooked rock cakes.
:16:07
- Help me!
- Oh, God, Suzette.

:16:10
Colin.
:16:13
I said I wouldn't do this.
And here I am doing it.

:16:16
A few painless shots,
and I can pay for dinner.

:16:19
That's what I call integrity.
:16:20
But you"ve never
heard it like this, Mr. Charms.

:16:23
It"s a sure-fire hit.
:16:25
Just look at these fame-starved urchins...
:16:27
putting on the agony,
all trying to sing like hillbillies...

:16:31
just praying for Harry Charms
to snap them up...

:16:33
and sell them into pop slavery.
:16:37
I mustn't throw stones,
especially not at Americans.

:16:40
Yanks invented teenagers.
:16:42
England for the English, and all that.
:16:45
But being anti-Yank's a sure sign of defeat.
:16:47
l"ve got the tickets for the Stravinsky recital.
:16:50
- Harry Charms, l"ve got an appointment.
- He"s in there.

:16:53
Do me a favor,
don"t drive me mad down there.

:16:55
He was precious, all right.
:16:57
Loonies.
:16:58
And very nasty in the wrong hands.
