Les 200 premières lignes.
Just a little butterfly.
You know, Mary,
I half expect it to flutter its wings
and fly straight out of the window.
The Stahl Papillon, in my own hands.
Extraordinary.
It doesn't look strong enough
to carry the weight of the stones.
In a piece like this the materials are,
in a way, irrelevant.
It's what he was trying to achieve,
the, the overall effect.
What would she have said?
Have you bought your tickets yet?
Yep.
I've got six weeks to go.
Your mind's made up then?
Yes, Charlie.
Better see to that customer.
Good afternoon, sir.
Where would you like me to put this?
Don't worry, I got it.
That's the Leoville-Barton '87 you ordered, sir.
Would you like me to open that for you, sir?
Let it breathe?
Nah.
Mr. Morgan wonders whether this may be appropriate
for your friend?
Cute.
Oh, for Mr. Morgan.
Tell him everything is, um...
...awesome.
Appreciate it. Thank you, sir.
Have a nice day, sir.
I've got a job for you. Right, Mr. Morgan.
Mr. O'Sullivan in the Hyde Park Suite
asked me to give you this, Mr. Morgan, sir.
Got a guest in room 417.
Bought her son a watch for his 21st birthday.
Now it's a little big, so we need one link
taken out of the bracelet.
I need you to take it to Clara's Antique Jewelers
on Bury Street and ask for Charlie.
And you tell him that I sent you.
Yes, Mr. Morgan.
Good afternoon, gentlemen.
Good afternoon, Mrs. Lieberman.
I hope you're looking after Sam, Mr. Morgan.
You know he's my favorite.
He's mine too, Mrs. Lieberman.
Concierge.
Ah Mr. Giles, do you mind holding for just a moment?
You make sure that they do it while you wait.
The guest needs it back in her suite at 5:00.
So you get straight back here, no delays.
Yes, Mr. Morgan.
Oh, and Smith...
I'm watching you.
Yes, Mr. Morgan.
Get going.
Smith... Straighten that name badge.
Mr. Giles, thanks for holding.
Yeah, I'm sure the house doctor has informed you
that the guest had a fatal heart attack earlier this afternoon.
How dare he die in my hotel?
London.
Eight million of us all with our own dreams.
A city full of opportunity.
And for those whose dreams come true,
there's no better place to be.
Every whim can be indulged, itch scratched
and desire catered for.
A few streets where the wealthiest magpies
swoop for the brightest and shiniest objects.
And, man, do I wish I was part of that world.
Very nice.
What keeps me going on days like today
is the thought that when my dream comes true,
it'll be me ordering room service
from my swanky hotel suite...
Me getting the girl.
Oh yeah, and me remembering to tip properly.
I just need that one piece of luck,
the shot at the title.
To know when opportunity is knocking
and make sure I answer the bloody door.
Just when I thought today couldn't get any worse...
Radio London FM, 4:30, cold and wet outside...
240 for the four.
It's all there.
Cheers, pal.
It's 320 now, innit?
80 a piece.
What are you talking about?
We had a price, 60 each.
You can't just slap on an extra 33% just like that.
What do you mean I can't?
I just did, didn't I?
Yesterday it was 240, today it's 320.
Do you want them or what?
You know I can't leave empty handed.
Yeah.
What you got there?
Two, four, six, eight...
We had a deal.
Yeah, well, that's the way it goes innit?
Here ya go, enjoy the show.
It's a blinder... Good luck.
Ta-ta.
All right?
Yeah, great.
You're a shit negotiator.
Mm-hmm, it's lovely to see you too.
Found us an investor yet?
The business plan is nearly ready.
Did you call him?
Who?
You know who, I gave you his card last week.
Did you call him?
I left a message.
Oh, okay.
That's why he asked me today why you hadn't called.
Well I-- I'll call him tomorrow... I've been busy.
No, I'm gonna call him tomorrow.
He loves my food and he's got money.
I can't wait for you anymore, Sam.
It's like you're scared to ask, take a chance.
Go and see some people and ask them
to invest in our restaurant.
But the business plan, it needs to be rock solid,
it needs to be bulletproof.
You know how much work I've done.
It's no good if no one sees it.
I've got to make this happen, with or without you.
We've been talking about this since we were at school.
I know, I know... It will happen.
"Vici."
What?
"Vici," a name for the restaurant.
"Vici?"
Yeah.
Right, I'd better get my skates on.
You eating?
Yeah I'll have the special to go.
Hi, Elliot.
How are you?
Yeah, I'm cool.
You?
I'm starving.
Starving I can do.
The special is very good.
Wild mushroom risotto.
I've got one portion left.
Yes, please I'll have that.
Oh well I just ordered that.
Oh, sorry, I didn't hear you.
You need to speak up.
Ask a bit louder.
Ha-ha.
Oh, sorry, do you want that?
Not, it's okay, you go ahead.
Thanks, mate. Are you sure?
Yeah.
Thanks.
That's a great watch.
Thanks... yeah, I mean, I like it, it's...
We sold one just like that yesterday.
Oh, really?
Can I have two double espressos to go as well,
'cause Charlie's getting cranky?
I need to caffeinate him.
( pop band playing on loudspeaker )
You like this?
Yeah, love it.
Sorry, Mary, er, this is my friend: Sam.
Hi, Sam.
How are you?
I'm okay... you?
They're playing in town next week.
The band.
I always try and get tickets, but they go in, like,
30 seconds, so...
Do you work around here?
Yeah, I do, I work in Clara.
It's an antique jewelry store, just round the corner.
Right, yeah, I've heard of it, yeah.
That's a beautiful bracelet.
Thank you.
It's-- it's from the shop.
You should come and check it out.
Yeah, maybe I'll do that.
What do you do, Sam?
I'm-- I'm in the, uh... entertainment field.
That's exciting.
That's really that, yeah... Which-- which part?
Well I'm more of a...
I'm an entertainment fixer, really.
Eight pounds please, Mary.
Thank you.
Thank you.
