Taxi (1978)

S4E2 Vienna Waits

Alex and Elaine plan a vacation in Europe, but before they set off, Alex feels compelled to clarify that their trip is strictly as friends. He wants to avoid any misunderstandings if he decides to connect with other women while away. Elaine agrees, and they plan to spend their days apart, meeting up each evening to write postcards. As the trip unfolds, it's clear that Elaine is having a great time, while Alex feels isolated and discontent. On their final night, Elaine, feeling a bit sympathetic towards Alex, suggests they share a night of intimacy, believing their friendship can handle it. They head off together, embracing the moment.
