:11:00
Why don't you come?
It'll be fun. George is a great guy.
:11:03
Most of the personnel
here seems very nice.
:11:05
The only one that gives me
the dry heaves is Briggs.
:11:08
C.W.? He's cracked a lot of cases.
:11:11
Of course, I don't see how.
Such a drone.
:11:14
Gets his tips from street contacts
like ex-cons and blind beggars.
:11:18
There's something about him
I don't trust.
:11:21
- Any examples?
- Many.
:11:23
He's smarmy with those office wisecracks
and double-meaning jokes.
:11:27
I mean, who is he, really?
:11:29
He's this shallow,
skirt- chasing egomaniac who's
probably more lucky than good.
:11:34
Sometimes it's better to be lucky.
I think you're being too rough on him.
:11:38
It's more that he's just
kind of a schnook whos more
insecure than anything else.
:11:41
He's got no wife, no family.
:11:43
Well, he was married.
Short and stormy. Picked a tramp.
:11:47
- That's a surprise.
- Excuse me, fellas.
:11:51
Come tonight.
It'll give us a chance to be together,
:11:54
and I have the perfect excuse at home--
an employee's birthday.
:11:58
- How much longer is this gonna go on?
- Not longer, Betty Ann.
:12:01
I'll be free by the end of the year,
and then we can be together openly.
:12:04
You love me, but you spend
all the important holidays with her.
:12:08
Life can get so damn complicated
when you think it's simple.
:12:11
Come tonight.
:12:13
So we can eye each other and steal
touches and play little games in code?
:12:17
Yes, that's part of the romance.
:12:20
Someday we'll be able to look back
and know that at one time in public...
:12:23
when one of us brought up the subject of
Paris, it meant at that very moment...
:12:26
that we were dying to make love
with one another.
:12:29
- You're such an adolescent.
- But cute?
:12:39
[ Chattering, Laughing ]
:12:44
- Look at this.
- Oh! Oh!
:12:48
Happy birthday, George.
:12:50
Here's to George Bond,
insurance man, father.
:12:54
- Amateur magician.
- Please, no card tricks tonight, huh?
:12:58
- Happy 50th, George.
- Thank you.
