Yes?
00:00:03.000 --> 00:00:04.729
How's the house, Max?
Is it gorgeous?
00:00:04.835 --> 00:00:06.632
Well, to tell you
the truth, Charlie,
00:00:06.737 --> 00:00:07.863
it's a little bit shabby.
00:00:07.972 --> 00:00:09.999
We don't say shabby, Max.
00:00:09.014 --> 00:00:11.233
We say filled with the patina
of a bygone era.
00:00:11.342 --> 00:00:13.333
- How's the wine?
- Right.
00:00:13.444 --> 00:00:14.968
Uh, bouquet of a wet dog.
00:00:15.001 --> 00:00:16.091
Hits the palate
like a razor blade
00:00:17.999 --> 00:00:19.141
with a finish that hints of awful.
00:00:19.025 --> 00:00:20.512
So the house is falling apart
00:00:20.618 --> 00:00:21.915
and the vineyard
makes undrinkable wine?
00:00:22.998 --> 00:00:23.213
Excellent.
00:00:23.321 --> 00:00:25.551
One thing you are going
to need is an oenologue.
00:00:25.656 --> 00:00:26.816
All right, what's that?
00:00:26.924 --> 00:00:28.551
It's a sort of licensed wine expert.
00:00:28.659 --> 00:00:30.957
They take soil samples— bits of
the vine, that sort of thing—
00:00:31.001 --> 00:00:33.121
tests them— there must
be a couple near you.
00:00:33.023 --> 00:00:35.255
And also, I would need
a couple of sexy snaps
