:04:00
- You could've been killed?
- Only hours ago.
:04:03
- But we're here.
- We wouldn't miss it.
:04:05
Happy the bride the sun shines on.
:04:08

:04:15
Chaos, control. Chaos, control.
You like? You like?
:04:26
- I'll have a gin and tonic, please.
- Tell them.
:04:31
We were having
a wonderful evening last night.
:04:33
A friend we hadn't seen in years
came by for dinner.
:04:36
- Geoffrey Miller. From South Africa.
- Don't say that so portentously.
:04:40
- Geoffrey from Serth Efrica.
- Well, don't be gaga!
:04:44
- Scotch, please.
- Just something large.
:04:47
Geoffrey was in New York
briefly on business,
:04:50
and he asked us to ask him for dinner.
:04:54
Listen.
:04:55
What's wrong?
:04:59
It always amazes me
when New York is so quiet.
:05:03
Oh! (laughs)
:05:05
With the kids away,
we get used to less noise.
:05:08
- Geoffrey is King-Midas rich. Gold mines.
- 70,000 workers in one gold mine alone.
:05:13
But he's short of cash.
His government won't let its people...
:05:17
- lts white people.
- ..take out any money.
:05:20
It's like taking in a war baby.
:05:22
His call was like a bolt from the blue, as
I had a deal coming up and was short by...
:05:26
- Two million.
- The figure is superfluous.
:05:29
I hate when you use
the word "superfluous".
:05:32
I mean, he needed two million.
We hadn't seen Geoffrey in a long time.
:05:36
While he might not have the price
of dinner, he might have $2,000,000.
:05:40
It's the awful thing about
having truly rich friends.
:05:43
Let's face it, the money does
get in the way. I'll take that one.
:05:47
Having a rich friend is like drowning
and he makes lifeboats.
:05:50
Only your friend gets very touchy if you
say one word - lifeboat. That is two words.
:05:56
We were afraid our friend might say we
were loving him because of his lifeboat.
