Our sole order of business today is a, uh... is an acceptance of John Bontecou's generous offer. And I think Bill... Do you have any more of these delicious cookies? The jelly ones? Mmm, and a cup of tea. With milk, I think. I'd like to try it English style. Yes. A cup of tea with milk, please. Is there anything else, Mr. Black? - How about some water? - Why, yes, thank you. - Hot or cold? - Cold. - And a glass? - Mmm.

I'll tell you what. You promise this undertaking of yours... involves only me and, uh... And what? - I won't tell anyone who you are. - Sounds fair enough. - Good. - Is it a deal? - A deal? - Yeah. You give your word; I give mine that we'll do what we say. Mm-hmm. It is a truth exchanged between two people. - Bill? - What? You have a deal. Ow!

How about giving a guy a break? Make an exception? - Well, there's one to every rule. - Not this. And call my family. I'd like them to have dinner with me tonight. Didn't the family get together last night? - Jennifer. - Of course, Mr. Parrish, right away. Uh, perhaps you'd like to wait in my office. No.

What I'm trying to say is this is a board meeting and you're not a member. I'm sure you'll find a way to make it all right. Nice to meet you. Morning. Good morning.

What's on the docket for today? - Docket? - Hmm, yes. What shall we do? - Well, I have to go to work, and... - Splendid. I'll join you. Oh. Would you like to ride or walk? Walk. I wish to see the world. This is crazy. This is the left field thing of all time. I, uh... I don't know if I can get through this. - What do I do? What do I tell my family? - You'll get through this, Bill. As far as your family's concerned, uh, I wouldn't say anything. You'll ruin the great start we had last night. Hmm. It felt as if I was being treated like a person. Yes, Joe this, Joe that. A nice smile. Quince passed me the rolls. No passion or rapture or any of these mighty things you're so intent on imparting. But I am certain, should you say who I am, our adventure would end abruptly. Mm-hmm.

- Are you sad, Bill? - Yes, I am. Why don't you take a walk or something, get some air? I know I'll be seeing you. Of course. Good. Now I'd like to be alone. This will hold you for a while. - You know about money, don't you? - It can't buy happiness? Yeah. Uh, Jennifer? Give Mr. Black a map of the city, would you? It's okay, Bill. I can manage.

Joe, I don't... I don't have time to see you right now. I'm, um, about to start making rounds, and I'm examining back-to-back patients until dinner, and, uh... Very well. I'll watch. Watch me do what? Make rounds and examine back-to-back patients. Joe, that's impossible. - I'm a doctor. - And I'll be a visitor. - Patients have visitors, not doctors. - I don't mind.
