Transcript (Download)

It was a wonderful party, wasn't it? I thought it was a great party.

Yes, certainly.

Thank you for having a birthday.

I love to have birthdays all the time.

Yeah, forget them.

Goodnight, darling.

See you tomorrow.

Yeah, be at 11 o 'clock.

That's probably the test I can do.

See you at 11 o 'clock.

Have a good one.

Thanks for coming.

Oh, it was a pleasure.

It was a lovely party, I thought, didn't you? It was so unexpected.

See you tomorrow.

See you tomorrow.

Happy birthday.

I'm so happy you came to dance Lady of the Lime.

It's just amazing.

Oh, I'll be glad you came.

Happy birthday.

What a delightful day.

I'd like to have some more birthdays, I guess.

Happy birthday.

Happy birthday.

I thought it was a bottle party.

But there's a little girl.

She got the trip to...

Which trip did she get? Because Amal was partying.

It was so unexpected.

I'm glad you were able to make it.

Amal, good luck.

It wasn't unexpected.

You know, the only way I knew about it was at Carmen.

She got an invitation.

That's the only way I knew about it.

I wouldn't know anything about it.

It wasn't about it? And I'm looking for a place, but I just don't want to take anything from Amal.

Everything is storage.

And I may take a little vacation and travel a bit.

I haven't been out west for a long time.

I haven't even been to New York for a long time.

Take your time off while you can.

Everything is secure.

I think I need to get away and look at it some more.

But I'm so glad to be here tonight.

I'm so glad you came.

Well, I'll be seeing you.

Is Audrey still in Paris? Yes, he's in Marrakesh.

He can't take the winters here.

He'll be home next month.

In April he'll be back.

Any questions? Thank you, darling.

If Dali gets it for you, then I will give it to him.

Do you love your house? No, thanks.

It's an old dress I found in the closet.

Oh, really? It's not new at all.

I'm going to go get some ice.

Just a little bit.

You make sure she puts those away because I made them myself.

I made those myself.

Have a good day.

Have a good day.

Have a good day.

Have a good day.

Have a good day.

Have a good day.

We'll walk out the front and let her out.

I was so happy.

I was so happy.

She said, I just called the lady who looks for me and told her how many people I was having and she brought everything over.

She just picked her up and she came down the hallway.

Would I like to do this? She got in the hallway.

I'm very far behind.

I really appreciate it.

I'm so glad we're all set.

Thanks for the help.

I'll tell you why she's coming.

We're going to have to move up a bit.

I'll just walk back.

It gets too dark.

The person that's coming is a kid.

You tell me something like that.

You can't be the wrong person because you're going to work if I need you.

It's starting to.

Children say they come in and they're all gone.

They look totally different.

Congratulations.

They're trying to get you again.

Backing you up.

What happened to the elevator? We passed it.

We passed the elevator? Did we? Right here.

The doors look all alike.

I'm glad you enjoyed yourself.
