Первая сцена
I’ll be gone most of the day. I want you to buy some clothes. You really should think about traveler’s checks. We may be going out evenings. You’ll need something to wear. Like what? Nothing too flashy, not too sexy. Conservative, you understand? Mooring. Elegant. Any questions? Can I call you Eddie? Not if you expect me to answer. I would have stayed for 2,000. I would have paid four. I’ll see you tonight. Baby, I’m going to treat you so nice, you’re never going to want to let me go. $3,000 for six days. And Vivian, I will let you go. But I’m here now. What? $3,000! May I help you? I’m just checking things out. Are you looking for something in particular? No, well, yeah. Uh, something conservative. Yes. You got my stuff. Thank you. How much is this? I don’t think this would fit you. Well, I didn’t ask if it would fit. I asked how much it was. How much is this, Marie? It’s very expensive. It’s very expensive. Look, I got money to spend in here. I don’t think we have anything for you. You’re obviously in the wrong place Please leave

Yes, Bridget, hello. This is Barnard Thompson here at the Regent Beverly Will… Thank you. Yes, but I’d like you to do a favor for me, please. I’m sending someone over. Her name is Vivian. She’s a special guest. She’s the niece of a very special guest. Hello. You must be Vivian. My name’s Bridget. Yeah, hi. Barney said you’d be nice to me. He’s very sweet. What are your plans while you’re in town? We’re gonna have dinner. Oh, don’t sit over there, dear. You’re gonna go out? Dinner? Mm-hmm. Well, you’ll need a cocktail dress then. Come with me. Now, I’m sure we’re going to find something here that your uncle will love. You’re a size six, right? Yeah. How’d you know that? Oh, that’s my job. Bridge, he’s not really my uncle. They never are, dear. All right,
Miss Vivian, one more time. Dinner napkin. Dinner napkin. Lay gently in the lap. Good.
Elbows off the table. Don’t slouch. Shrimp fork. Salad fork. Dinner fork. I definitely have the salad fork. The rest of the silverware is a little confusing. All right, if you get nervous, just count the tines. Now, four tines dinner fork. And sometimes there are three tines the salad fork.
Третья сцена
Mr. Morse. Yes, Mr. Lewis. I’m Jim Morse. This fireball is my grandson, David. Well, I don’t know about the fireball part, but grandson’s true enough. I’m pleased to meet you both. This is a friend of mine, Vivian Ward. Hi. Really glad to meet you. Morse, David. Hi. He’s sitting. Excuse me. Where are you going? I’m going to the ladies’ room. Upstairs to the right. Excuse me. Shall I order for you? Yeah. Please do so. Thank you. I’ll do that. Thank you. Mr. Lewis, my grandfather believes the men who create a company should control its destiny. Where’s the salad? The salad comes at the end of the meal. That’s the fork I knew. Let me put it another way. Between your public statements and the rumors flying around on this thing, we find it very hard to figure out what your real intentions are. I don’t know about you, but I’ve never been able to figure which goes with what. David? Mr. Lewis, if you were to get control, and I don’t think you will, but if you did…
What do you plan to do with the company? Break it up and sell off the pieces. I’m sure you understand I’m not thrilled at the idea of your turning 40 years of my work into your garage sale. At the price I’m paying for this stock, Mr. Morse, you are going to be a very rich man. I’m rich enough. I just want to head my shipyard. Slippery little suckers. It happens all the time. Mr. Morris, you asked for this meeting. What can I do for you? Leave my company alone. I can’t do that. I own 10 million shares. I’ll buy your stock back. You don’t have the money. We will. We’re getting a contract to build 10 destroyers. There will be no contract. The contract is now buried in Appropriations Committee, and it will remain there. And how the hell do you pull something like that? What do you got? You got dirty politicians in your pockets now or something? Easy, easy, easy. Calm down. Calm down, David. Mr. Lewis plays hardball. Yes. Yes, I do.
I’ve heard enough of this. Vivian, it was a great pleasure to meet you. I’m sorry, grandfather. I’ve got to get some air. Mr. Lewis. I’d better join my grandson. You two enjoy your dinner. I’m sure it’ll be delicious. Good luck, miss. Watch out, Lewis. I’m going to tear you apart. I look forward to it, sir.
