I wish it would. I wish we had him out of here.
It's a trifle late for that, don't you think?
Whom would you have preferred? Kenneth?
You, perhaps. You frighten me.
No. That's good.
And then... I felt tremendously exhilarated.
I don't think that's a very good choice of words.
She's banked everything on hooking David.
Well, she can switch back to Kenneth tonight.
I don't think you appreciate me, Phillip.
Now, take these and get ahold of yourself.
You owe me $2.40 for taxis, including the tip.
Good evening, Mrs. Wilson.
It belongs in the kitchen drawer.
As ready as we'll ever be.
Of course.
Yes. I thought you'd be glad to see her.
I wish you had. Why?
Janet and David are- Hello, Mrs. Wilson.
What's this rumor I hear about you and Town Hall?
Thanks, chum.
What are you chattering about?
David? Yes, David.
After me came Kenneth and now it's David.
that people can not only read but actually can think.
and Henry is forever cataloging his library.
Oh, I'm so sorry.
That's all right, Anita. Kenneth is often mistaken...
Well, I consider myself a very fortunate man today.
Your wife sends her love. David wasn't there?
The housemaster at Somerville? I used to be.
I told you on the phone.
Well, what have we here?
Wonderful Mrs. Wilson.
He's so late, Mr. Kentley's getting annoyed.
Oh, I've turned the dining room into a library.
Yes, I adored it. Did you? Good.
What did you see her in? I don't quite recall.
Here, let me help. White or dark?
There's no reason, Janet.
Doesn't he, Brandon? Yes.
It was a lovely Sunday morning in late spring.
Phillip!
you two being so intense about an old, dead chicken.
Is it all over? I'm afraid so, Rupert.
Rupert, you're the end.

If it suits your purpose, merely-
Now I know you're not serious. But I am.
the inferior man, because he needs them.
So did Hitler. Hitler was a paranoiac savage.
A little atmospheric music goes a long way.
I relax with David, thanks to you.
That-That grim Sunday at Harvard,
Brandon and his atmospheric music.
You are in love with David, aren't you?
Why can't he keep his hands off people?
Well?
Unfortunately, you're not. Cut that out!
I hope you've enjoyed yourself, Brandon. I haven't!
She seems to be missing David.
I seem to be the only one having a good time.
Don't stop. I'd like a drink.
That's fine.
Why? Brandon knows.
Oh, come now. I don't. Why don't you ask Brandon?
You're confused. Brandon dreamt that up...
for the sake of a very unfunny joke. No, he didn't.
No, he didn't, Phillip.
You're quite a good chicken-strangler, as I recall.
Well, I-I just meant that Brandon's story wasn't true.
I think it's a clumsy way of tying them up.
That's very unfeminine, my dear.
Perhaps, but I prefer manners to femininity.
Wouldn't you say so, Brandon? I wouldn't know.
He might be any number of places, such as the club,
We might find out where he is now...
We had our hands full getting ready for the party.
I thought he might have called to say he'd be late.
I can't tell you how sorry I am.
I'll get my hat. Oh, going with Janet?
Good night, Mr. Kentley.
