79. DAISY (to Nick) These things excite me so... Gatsby turns to Tom... GATSBY I believe we’ve met somewhere before, Mr. Buchanan. About a month ago. TOM That’s right... And you were with Nick here. At the barbershop... GATSBY That’s right. See... I know your wife. TOM Is that so? Yes.
GATSBY
As the number subsides, and the crowd applauds, Herzog appears and addresses Gatsby with whispered intensity. HERZOG Mr. Gatsby sir. Mr. Slagle is here... Herzog indicates SLAGLE, a dark-suited man who stands on the distant terrace with three sinister-looking 'associates'. Gatsby, so besotted with Daisy that he cannot take his eyes off her, whispers fiercely... Not now.
GATSBY
Herzog silently recedes... A romantic foxtrot strikes up - Trimalchio introduces... TRIMALCHIO And now...! Dice, Brass Knuckles and Guitars, with: The Foxtrot! Gatsby turns to Tom, and gestures to Daisy... GATSBY Mr. Buchanan, would you mind, terribly?
