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.

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.

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!

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.

Great. You know, I got to thinking. With you here and seemingly occupied, how's your work going, I mean, elsewhere? While you were shaving this morning, you weren't just shaving. - What do you mean? - You were hatching ideas, making plans, arriving at decisions, right? Yeah, I guess so. So you understand the concept. While part of you is busy doing one thing, another part of you is doing another, perhaps even attending to the problems of your work. - Correct? - Of course. So you understand the idea. Congratulations, Bill. Now multiply that by infinity, take that to the depths of forever, and you still will barely have a glimpse of what I'm talking about.

- I thought I was gonna sneak away tonight. - No! What a glorious night. Every face I see is a memory. It may not be a perfectly perfect memory. Uh, sometimes we had our ups and downs. But we're all together, and you're mine for a night. And I'm gonna break precedent and tell you my one candle wish. That you would have a life as lucky as mine, where you can wake up one morning and say, "I don't want anything more. " Sixty-five years. Don't they go by in a blink?
