Bravo, young man. you have to tell me what this was all about sometime. I want you to know... when it looked there for awhile like you were going slowly insane... I was fully prepared to have you committed to the <u>finest</u> mentalhealth facility available. I mean that sincerely, don't thank me.
You warm my heart.
What the fuck... ?!
Why are you following me?
I don't know what you're talking about. I'm just driving...
Look... what I'm doing is none of your business...
Is Alan Baer "the Game?" Is that what this is?
Friend... why don't you back off.
Hey... !
Nice touch. Does the game use real bullets... ?
Invitations: the Museum Gala.
No.
The Fitzwilliam Botanical Garden Annual Fundraiser.
No.
The Hinchberger wedding.
Let me think... Hordes of men in tuxedos. Everyone's droning. Ludwell's trying to break the ice by reciting an offcolor limerick...
I'll send your regrets. Honestly, why must I even bother?
Because, if you don't know about society, you don't have the satisfaction of avoiding it.
Your exwife.
I know who she is. Take a message.
I don't like her.
I wouldn't mention the following, except he was very insistent. It's obviously some sort of prank...
What?
A gentleman left a message requesting a lunch, but I assured him...
What gentleman, Maria?
A Mister... Seymour Butts.
"Under the Bleachers"... by Seymour Butts.
Pardon me? I'm afraid I don't...
Cancel lunch. Make reservations at Campton Place for me and Mr. Butts.
What's the trouble?
You're here for Conrad Van Orton? I'm the hotel manager...
Pleasure to meet you, I'd like to see my brother, thank you.
Your brother. Will you come with me?
What's this about?
It's a private matter, for you... I think you'll be more comfortable...
Where's my brother?
There were complaints by other guests, and damage to his room. We did the best we could to accommodate his behavior.
His behavior... ?
He couldn't, or refused to pay. We extended credit...
Look, where is he?!
There was an incident a few days ago... a nervous breakdown, they said. The police took him. They left this address, in case anyone...
Thank you.
Have a nice day.
Dinner's in the oven.
Thank you. Goodnight.
You did? How is he?
Okay. I think he's into some sort of new personal improvement cult.
Well... send my love, if you see him again.
Is everything alright?
Fine.
I've finished for the evening. Will you be needing anything else?
No, thank you. Goodnight.
Goodnight then.
Mr. Van Orton... ?
Ilsa... you're alright?
Yes. What do you mean? What's wrong?
Did the alarm go off? The house... they... you didn't see... ?
I don't know what you're talking about. What's happened?
There's been a break in. Lock this door and stay here. Don't move a muscle.
What makes you ask?
I'm not sure.
All the time I've known you, you've never once asked about him.
He came to my mind recently, that's all.
Your mother thought he was a good man. He worked very hard. What I remember most was his manner was so... slight. It was easy to spend time in a room, and not realize he'd been there the whole time.
Was he morose, or...? I mean...
No. What happened... no one expected it.
Sometimes I wonder how much of him there is in me.
Not much, I think.
I'm just like him.
You're not like him at all. I don't know exactly what's going on around here lately, but don't make me start worrying about you.
Did you worry about him?
Nobody worried about your father.
Goodnight. See you home.
Goodnight. Where was she?
Ah, Mr. Van Orton. Here you go...
Have we met?
Show Mr. Van Orton to his room.
The key?
Hm?
Is there a room key?
Didn't I give you two?
No, you didn't...
I need the police.
Let's get you dried off first. I might have some clothes below.
You know, these fit... perfectly.
They were my husband's. My late husband... may he rest in peace.
I've been so lonely.
I can't tell you how <u>not</u> interested I am.
Don't be nervous. They said you'd be nervous.
Don't take another step.
Isn't this what you like? They told me you had a thing for boats.
First they try to kill me, now you? Put your damn clothes back on.

I'm not quite sure how this works. My brother...
Oh, here we go...
VAN... ORTON... A gift from Conrad Van Orton. Interesting...
What is?
Your brother was a client with our London branch. We do a sort of informal scoring. His numbers were outstanding. Sure you're not hungry at all... ? Tung Hoy, best in Chinatown...
No, thank you.
You need to fill out those forms. Application, psychtests: M.M.P.I. and T.A.T. For the financial questionnaire, don't answer anything you don't feel like. We'll run a T.R.W....
