Goodbye Again (1961) Ingrid Bergman, Anthony Perkins & Yves Montand

Gabby.

Oh, Gabby. I'm late.

- Has monsieur called?
- No, madame.

I couldn't find a taxi with the traffic.
Is the dress ready?

Be an angel and draw me a bath.

Not too hot. Oh, no. My zip...

It never works when... It's all right.

Oh, Gabby, where did you put my...

Oh, never mind. I found it.

I think I'll wear my mink jacket tonight.

Gabby, did you fix the belt to the dress?

- Oui madame.
- Not oui madame, yes, ma'am.

- You're learning to speak English.
- Oui, madame. Yes, ma'am.

Would you answer it, Gabby?

Say, I just left.
I just walked out the door.

Hello. Yes, I mean, oui monsieur

All right, I'll take it.

Watch the water, Gabby.
Roger, darling.

Oh, I'm sorry, but I'm going to be late.

Well, really, the traffic in Paris
this time of day is something...

You what? You can't? Oh, no, Roger,
not again. I know it's business,

but it's just that tonight
is a very special night.

It's our fifth anniversary. Of what?

Of the night we met.

No, no, I understand.

Yes, tomorrow will be all right.

Good night, darling.
Good night.

It's very useful for a man this business.

Yes, very useful.

I would give him an ultimatum.

What kind of an ultimatum?

We are going to get married or out?

No, Gabby. I've told you
we don't want to get married.

He doesn't want to.

We were both married before.

You know that.
We both learned the same thing.

People should be together
because they want to be,

not because they have to be.

- Freedom is such a precious thing.
- For him, not for you.

- Oh, Gabby.
- He goes out with other girls.

Yes, he does.

- You don't go out with other men.
- I don't want to.

Some freedom.

You worry too much about me, Gabby.

My mom says it doesn't matter
when you are young,

but when you are old,
you want to be married.

Oh, Gabby, am I that old?

No, but you are too much alone.

Sorry about last night.

- This has been a terrible week.
- Yes, I know, Roger.

I'm still trying to close
a deal in Denmark,

but one in Holland fell through

and I have no shipments from America
because of the strike.

- It's not very gay all that.
- No.

Shall we give it up, Paula?

I could live quietly in the country
in the small house by river.

You wouldn't know
what to do with yourself.

You couldn't live without
your trucks and your tractors

and the life of your city,
your long Paris nights.

But you've taken
to driving very fast lately.

I know. What's that a sign of?

- Trying to stay young.
- Oh, you'll never be old.

Je t'adore.

Whatever I say, you understand.

Whatever I ask, you can answer.

- Oh, I am remarkable.
- You are.

I wonder how many times I've done this.

Leaned forward to turn on the radio
as you drove me home from dinner.

Paula.

Well, am I very selfish? I mean, with you.

No. It's true I feel alone sometimes.
Not quite so young. And I miss you.

But I know how much
your your business means to you.

- Do you know how much you mean to me?
- I think so.

Oh, I forgot.
I had lunch with Jack Vanette today.

He has a friend who needs a decorator.

A rich American woman
with a new apartment.

Here's the name and address.

You're supposed to see her
tomorrow morning.

Oh, thank you.

Sounds like there may be some money in it.

I could use it.

Well, good night. I'll let you sleep.

Well, what happened?
We were looking for you.

Good morning, Suzanne.

Would you like to take a walk?
Then I'd like to take a walk.

- Morning.
- Oh, good morning.

I'm Philip Van der Besh.

- Have you come to see my mother?
- Yes.

- Won't you sit down?
- I hope I'm not too early.

Oh, no. No. Mother's up, I'm sure.

Is it about doing the apartment?

- Yes.
- Well, it could stand a bit of doing.

Well, I did wonder where you sit
when you're more than three.

Oh, well, I wouldn't know about that.

I work all day, and when I come home,
I go straight to bed.

Oh, you must work very hard.

Yes, I do. I do. I'm a lawyer.
Never get to bed before midnight.

Up and out of the break of dawn.

- It's almost 11 now.
- Yes. Well, yes.

Well, it's uh unusual.

I may as well tell you
my most important client

went to the guillotine this morning.

The guillotine? Good heavens! Is he dead?

No. Actually, I don't do much work.

Not enough really.

Would you like a cigarette?
Yes, thank you.

Where did Oh, thank you.
Is it still raining?

No, it's not still raining.

Well, there really isn't
anything else to say, is there?

I mean, I don't know you.

If I did, I'd tell you how happy
I was to see you again.

- Why?
- I don't know. I just would.

Suzanne, has Mr. Phillip gone?

Quick, there's another.
When were you born?

What day? What month?

- Phillip.
- Yes, mother.

Oh, there you are.

I do think you might get out
of the house before 11 once in a while.

Uh, yes, ma. I was just gone.

I can't see why monsieur Fleury puts up with you?

Oh, that's easy. You're his richest client. Goodbye.

Uh, I do hope I'll see you again.
Good luck.

I'm sorry. Did you want to see me?

Mr. Bunnell asked me to stop in
and see you this morning.

Jack Bunell,
he said he'd spoken to you about...

Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes.
About the apartment. You're the

decorator. Well, he said some very nice

things about you. Now, before we begin,

there's one thing I want you to

understand very clearly. If there's one

thing I can't stand, it's people who try

to take advantage

of

Suzanne. Suzanne, you have to tell them

everything a dozen times. Don't

misunderstand me, my dear. I want the

apartment to look well, but there are

ways of doing it, aren't there? I had a

young man. What?

Madame, what? Oh, oh, yes. Yes, sir. Now

I've told you not to leave the windows

open. Leanetra puvet. We madame well

kindly remember. We madame. She won't.

You know they say servants are cheaper

over here with the strain on the nerves.

Now what was I saying? You had the young

man. Young man. Oh yes. Yes. Of course.

The decorator. Well, he didn't last

long. I've met robbers in my time. Oh,

do sit down, my dear. But for sheer

praise and thievery, he

was When were you born, dear? Oh, I beg

you pardon. When were you born? Oh, you

don't have to tell me the year. I

wouldn't dream of asking you that. Uh,

what the month? June. Oh, what part of

June? The 13th. Oh, Gemini. Oh, how

interesting. I don't suppose you

remember the time of day. No, no, I'm

I'm afraid. Oh, that's too bad.

Well, now shall we do the downstairs in

Louis?

It'll cost quite a bit more. And if you

want to keep the pieces you already

have, I most certainly do. Come along.

I'll show you around. You know, these

things have been eating their heads off

in storage. It's about what time they

paid for their keep. But my son is

studying international law, you see, and

we travel a lot, but now we have to stay

in Paris for a while. Oh, did you meet

Phillip? Oh, you must meet him. He's

quite charming and really quite right.

The trouble is I have the fittest idea

what goes on in this mind. Oh, this is

the dining room. Yes, I am sorry about

his arm. Arm? What arm?

The one that goes like this. Really? I

hadn't noticed it. I must have a look.

Oh, about the dining room. Now, I

thought over

here you are. Oh, but you haven't been

here all this time. No, no, I had some

things to do. I just happened to drop by

this way. I'm going to pull near. Are

you sure? Sure. Thank you. There's an

art to getting into this thing. You all

right? Oh, nothing. Ju just my stuff.

Am I driving too fast? Oh, no. I'm used

to it. I have a friend who drives very

fast. He says it keeps him young. Does

he want to stay young? Oh, yes. Not me.

I take it you were born into the right

sign to do the apartment. I hope so. Do

you believe in the stars? No, but your

mother seems to be ruled by. Mhm. It's

very convenient, too. If you're ruled by

the stars, you don't have to feel

responsible for the things you do. Did

you find her vague?

Yes, in a way. She's not a bit vague.

It's an act.

Oh, it seems that acting runs in your

family. How's your arm? Pretty good.

It's

Listen, make mother pay as you go along.

She's rich and stingy and she hates to

pay bills. You shouldn't talk like that

about your mother.

I'm not a child. Oh, that's why. How old

are you?

25. How old are you?

40.

What's so funny? The admiring whistle. I

was more admiring than you think.

Thank you.

Will you have lunch with me one day?

Nope.

Just like that. No,

just like that.

I'm sorry. Sorry, I didn't mean to be

rude, but it's difficult for me to plan

lunch the way I work and now with your

mother's apartment. I understand.

Here to the right, please. Okay.

Well, thank you very much. Not at all.

Well, goodbye.

Hello.

Good morning.

Morning, Alex. Good

morning. He's run for you three times.

No. What about How should I know?

Probably the guilo brief. I gave him

that yesterday. That's probably why.

What is it? What's the matter? Have you

hurt yourself? No, it's all right.

Oh, no. No, no, no, no. Let me go. Let

me go.

You and your play acting. Really,

Alice? I met someone this morning. I

know. The most beautiful girl in the

world. No, a

woman. Warm, charming,

gay, and yet sad. There was a deep

sadness in her eyes. From what?

I don't know. The husband. What husband?

Isn't she married? How would I know?

Don't think you ought to find out. What

difference would it make? Oh, excuse me.

Well, if she is, it can't be a good

marriage. She's not happy. No, she could

only be happy with you, right?

Yes,

good morning, sir. No, that'll be fine.

Six. Six. Six dozen. Thank you. Sorry. I

hope you know what time it is. Yes. Yes.

Oh, dear. I'm sorry about that. I I was

I was delayed at home this morning. My

uh my mother's not well. I talked to

your mother on the telephone exactly 5

minutes ago and she seemed to be in

perfect health. Yes. Well, she she is uh

she's much better now. Thank Thank you

for inquiring. I've read the gu brief.

Yes. I do not think I need tell you of

the high regard in which I hold your

family. And I'm sure you know how

pleased I was to take you into my

office. Yes.

But you seem to have no ambition. You

show no desire to work. Why? This is not

a brief. It gives no citations. It

presents no body of law to support our

case. What did you think you were doing?

I don't know. Don't you care? Yes. Well,

then I just don't know what I'm doing.

You're studying French law, I hope. No,

I mean, um, what am I doing? What What

have I done to prove I'm alive? You

understand? Are you trying to be funny?

No, I want to know how does one do it.

For instance, I I've just realized that

I've never even been in love. Well, I

have. Do that. Father,

what's her name?

I don't

know.

Let's go. We could

You look wonderful tonight.

You always say that when I wear this

dress, I'll have to have it copied. No,

no, it's not the

dress. Savi,

how did you ever find this place? I

don't know. Probably came here with

business people. Hello.

You seem to know everybody. No, it's

just one of those nights. That's all.

What's up?

They seem awfully young, don't they?

Young? I don't think so. What about him?

No, but he's trying.

Oh, I'm afraid I have to go home early

tonight. I Oh, I didn't tell you. I got

the job. Yes. That card you gave me from

Shanel. Oh, you went there this morning.

Her name is Van Besh. She's one of those

rich women lived all over the world and

still give you the feeling that

Hello. Hello. That is funny. That is for

her son Mr. Van Bes. Mr. Dear. Well, I

knew I'd find you. Oh, you were looking

for me? Yeah. How nice. I look for you

everywhere all the time you were here.

Not quite all the time. We had dinner at

the B. I finally began to wonder if you

were real. Just a dream.

Yon

whiskey. This place is getting too

popular.

Are you married? I I I hope you weren't.

Ever said, huh? Oh, I'm I'm I'm sorry,

sir. I think I said something I

shouldn't have said.

Hey, would you like some coffee?

No, I hate coffee. I I I have one of one

of the the stage. This

Don't make any difference now. I'll be

right back.

There's a man for you. A real man. A

strong, confident, sure of himself. I

don't think it's that simple.

You love it. It's none of your business.

Oh. Oh, I I I apologize.

It's funny. I've done nothing all day

but apologize.

Close. Good. Close. Will you see my

Hello.

Well, hello.

Small world, isn't it? Envelop charming

surprises. I'm afraid I don't quite

remember where I am. Sheree, I forgot my

writer. Oh, darling. You remember uh Mr.

Mare?

Oh, yes.

Nice to see you again.

And then I found out I didn't know your

name. Well, here you are. Sir, I I want

to apologize if I said anything. Oh,

well, we've all had too much to drink at

one time or another. Would you like to

dance, darling? I love to Excuse me.

Do you

mind? Thank you.

We'll be back. Don't worry. Hey, Philip,

we're going to regime. You coming? Come

on, Phillip.

Ah, strange boy. Not strange. Just very

young and a little drunk. I have looked

for you all over Paris. I begun to

wonder if you're real or just a dream.

be coming to home for that. Oh, he's

just a boy and I think terribly unsure.

Unsure? A young man who looks for you

all over Paris and takes your hand and

says, "Are you married?" It's not my

idea of unsure. Well, it's been a long

time since anyone chased all over Paris

looking for me. And you like it, huh?

Mhm. Yeah. Yes, of course I do.

Oh, it's gone.

Good. Now I can finish my drink.

Excuse me.

Bo, I really must go home. If I stay up

like this, I'll look 100 tomorrow. Oh,

come on. I'm just beginning to like it

here.

Pora is going to break the window.

And Harley, please take him. Ali. Hey,

come on. I'm all right. No, no, I'm all

right. I'm I'm all I'm all right. Find

his key. I got my key. Where is it?

I won't tell you. Oh, please.

There. There you are.

My key. Can you make it all right?

Secondly, good

night. Wait a minute.

Good night.

Good night. Good night. Good night.

I'm sorry you had a bad time. No, it was

quite amusing.

Oh, well, good night, darling. May I

come up for a drink?

Wait a minute.

Oh, no. You can't have that. I'm

covering a chair for Mara Glenville.

Maro Glennville can go to I want this. I

adore it. And I shall have it. Now

that's settled. I love you passionately.

I have to run. Where's my packet? But it

won't go with your apricot walls. Well,

make the moisture

white. Uh, do you want me tomorrow? Yes.

I have a pair of lamps coming in that I

want you to look at. I'll be in around

6:00.

Goodbye, my love.

Hello.

I came to apologize. Oh, you're neat.

And please thank your husband for me for

how is your head? I'll live, I think,

but I'm not sure I want to. Oh, you do

look a bit um You ought to get some

sleep. Well, the thing is I'm I'm

hungry. Well, then go and eat. Well,

that's why I'm here. Now, I know you

said you were busy, but would you have

lunch with me? I I just want to make up

for last night. Oh, there's no need. But

I want you. What do the stars hold in

store for you today? Did your mother

tell you? Yes.

I must persevere in whatever I'm doing,

no matter how hopeless it may seem.

You're acting again.

Please.

It's a beautiful day. We could lunch in

the country. I have my car or in the B.

Then if you get bored, you can phone for

a taxi. You think of everything.

Oh, another run. I suppose all your

girlfriends wear slacks.

I haven't any. No girlfriends. Why not?

I don't know.

Try to think when did this general

falling away from you begin? Oh, I've

known lots of girls, but it just doesn't

last. It's my fault, I guess. But some

other girl so young. What's wrong with

that? Oh, I don't know. It must be me.

Still, I take this last girl. Now, she

was pretty and well, exactly the way

older people imagine the young to be.

How do older people imagine the young to

be? Oh, you know, they they try to look

wickedly decadent. They they drive their

little cars at top speed, clenching

their teeth. They they light cigarettes

the moment they open their eyes in the

morning. And she kept telling

me that love was no more than the

touching of two skins.

And well, I think love is more than

that. She cried when I left

her. I'm not proud of that. I hate the

breaking up of things, parties and

goodbyes. Well, then you must never fall

in love.

Is that true?

I hope not.

Are you in love with your husband?

I have no husband.

Good.

Merci. After the last night, you should

be drinking water. I feel fine, but I

need this for courage. Do I intimidate

you? Mm- But I'm afraid you'll get

bored. You probably think I'm one of

those spoiled and sippid young men who

gets pushed into polite jobs that their

parents can pay for and from then on are

busy trying to keep busy. Is that how

you think of yourself? No, I I like my

job. You don't sound very enthusiastic.

Corporation law, there's nothing duller,

not criminal law. Well, then why don't

you do that?

One doesn't practice criminal law in my

family. It isn't done. Have you ever

seen a murder trial? H a it's wonderful.

It's so different in each country and

always so exciting in its own way. In

America, it's like a football game. Why

did you lie? I didn't. I didn't. We know

you had the gun in your hand. I object.

Overruled. Answer the question. I

didn't. I didn't. You're lying. Oil. You

threatened to kill him. I didn't. I

didn't. You stood in the corner of

Howard and Mason. I object. Sustained.

Your honor sustained.

Oh, in France it's different. The French

have a logic and a sophistry and a true

sense of

drama.

Jacers, sorry. I accuse in the name of

the dead. I accuse you of avoiding your

duty as a human

being. I accuse you of letting love go

by, of neglecting your duty to be happy,

of living on evasion and subtrifusion

resignation. You should be sentenced to

death. You will be sentenced to

solitude.

A horrible sentence. The worst. The

worst and the most frightening to be

alone and without love. Isn't it?

Yes.

You must find me even more ridiculous

than last night. No.

Or do you think I'm acting again?

I was thinking of myself, but I was

thinking too that you're far too young

to feel that way.

Alone without love. You don't know. No.

Anyway, it takes two. It's not enough to

love. One must be loved.

You look sad. Oh, no. I'm I'm

not. I I I should

like I should

like I don't really know you, but I

should like to think you were

happy.

First, here we

are. Well, thank you for lunch.

Goodbye. Where are you going? Oh, just

to do a few errands. But can I come with

you? No, I really had a good time. Thank

you again. Can I just walk with you? No.

Goodbye.

Hello. I thought I could carry your

packages. Well, then I can take you back

to your shop. Oh, please don't be mad at

me. I don't think I could stand that.

Really? You are a child. You must have

been terribly spoiled when you were

young. Oh yes. Mother gave me

everything. Much easier than saying no.

What about your father? Oh, we ditched

him when I was seven. And from then on,

we traveled. Just mother and I. Home is

where the heart is. And travel broadens

the mind. Oh, you're so very right. I

have an amazing fund of useless

information which serves me very well at

dinner parties. I have thousands of

acquaintances without the burden of

friendship. I've been in and out of 27

schools. And I can say I love you in 13

different languages. Not bad at all.

Well, yel, that's my favorite. It's a I

love you a Norwegian. Did you learn that

from a Norwegian girl? Yes. Yelday. It's

the extra syllable that gives it the

emotion. Yelkaday.

Well, here I am. Goodbye. Uh, wait a

minute. Yes.

Do you like Bronx?

What? There's a wonderful concert at

South Playel Sunday afternoon. Bronze?

Do you like Bronze?

What's the matter? I haven't been asked

that since I was 17. And And what did

you answer? Yes, of course. I was in

love and we went to the concert and we

sat high up in the balcony and held

hands and listened to bronze. Well, I'm

not quite sure. Anyway, it was lovely.

Then you do like it. I don't know. It

was so long ago. Well, will you come to

the concert with me and find out? I am

busy this weekend. I'm sorry. I try to

keep my weekends free. Is it

um is it the man you were with last

night? Yes. Is it permanent? Yes.

Goodbye. Thank you again.

Funny. But men always smoke afterwards.

Do they? I never thought of that. Oh,

yes, they always do. Could I have one?

Yeah. You know, such interesting things,

Misy. I wish you'd tell me why you call

me Maisie. I have very poor memory for

names. It makes life easier. Do you call

all your girls Maisie? Yes.

Oh, I think that's cute. Which Maisie am

I? Maisie 7. Mhm. Maisie 27. Maisy 127.

Maisy number one. Oh, how galant. A

little more champagne, please.

You know, I'm awfully glad you were at

that cocktail party this afternoon. So

am I. But I don't know why you picked on

me with all those good-looking boys

around.

Oh, those kids. They talk and talk. They

just love to

talk. But

you, the moment I saw you, I knew what

you had on your

mind. Don't laugh. That's very rare

these days. Honest. Ask any girl. How

did you get rid of Cheryl? Oh, poor

Andre. He's awfully important in movies,

but if you only knew what a boy he is.

I never will. Don't worry about him. Ro,

let's go away for the weekend. I'll bet

you know some wonderful places around

Paris, shall we? You're free, aren't

you? Mhm.

I heard somewhere that you were sort of

tied up. Is it true?

No. No. I'm free.

Yes,

darling. Yes. Well, no. I was waiting to

hear from you to see what you want to do

this weekend.

What?

Oh, I'm sorry, darling, but the weekend

is the only chance I can get to work on

this deal. The man is in Brussels, and

I've got to go see him. It may mean a

sale of 75 tractors. Yes, I understand.

Of course, I

do. Oh, I don't know.

I'll go to a movie, I guess. Yes, I know

she has a bridge game on

Saturdays. Who? No, no, I'm not going to

call Jimmy. Why should he take me out?

Oh, Ro, will you please stop trying to

arrange my weekend? Oh, no. Really,

dear. If you feel badly about my going,

I'll see what I can do. Oh, don't be

silly. Of course you have to go. I'll

probably work this afternoon. One of my

clients asked me to. I said no, but I

may as well now.

Yes, we'll both

work. All right, darling. When will you

get back? Well, if you do, I'll be here.

And drive carefully. Yes, I will. Yeah.

Goodbye.

Hey.

Hello.

Sorry, Dar. I'm late, but you know how

it is.

Come here.

Shift over.

12,000 Franks. Good grief. That But

that's $24 a yard. Yes. Oh, I feel awful

today. Uh, how much is that one?

It's a It's

14,000. I'll take that one. All right.

Well, there's nothing wrong with it, is

there? No, no, no. I like it. Oh my. I

am pleased with the way things are

going. You've done wonders in a short

time. Thank you. Now, I may as well tell

you I'm planning a dinner party on the

19th. Well, that's a week from

Wednesday. Oh, but I couldn't. Sorry,

but I've already sent out the

invitations. Well, I'll do my best. And

of course, you must come. Thank you.

Now, if you look at these materials,

Madame Vanesh,

Excuse me. I

do call me, Teresa. I have picked this

for your bedroom and this for your son's

room. Um, as a matter of fact, I've sent

an invitation to your

friend, Roger Deay. That's his name,

isn't it? I hear he's most

attractive. Oh, my dear, Paris is like a

small town. Really? Everyone knows

everyone's business. Now, would you like

some tea? No, thank you. But I do wish

you'd look at these materials. Oh,

Paula, I couldn't look at another thing

today. I trust you implicitly. Only just

don't spend too much money. Madame, will

you bring us some tea, please, Suzanne?

Madame, I thought this for your son. I

couldn't possibly tell you what Philip

would like. Not possibly. He's not that

difficult, I dear. He's impossible. He's

practically a manic depressive. loves

the world, hates the world. Just like

his father, he drinks, you know. Oh, his

father drank, too. But

charming. Oh, there you are, darling. We

were just talking about you. I'm in

luck. Hello. Hello. I'm sorry. I have to

go. But you haven't had your tea. Well,

thank you, but I have things to do, and

thank you for giving me the time. I'll

call you on Friday. Goodbye, my dear.

Don't forget the 19th. No, I won't.

Goodbye.

I'll see you out.

What is it? Nothing. Anything at all?

No. Can I come down with you?

I didn't expect to see you today. No.

What happened to your weekend? Proje was

called away on business. I see.

Goodbye. Goodbye.

The switch is behind you.

Let me

go. Let me go. You're annoying

me.

Phillip, please let me go.

Gabby,

we coming.

Good morning, madam. Ah, Gabby. I love

you every day of the week, but on Sunday

mornings, I adore you. I could bring you

breakfast every morning. Too sinful,

Gabby. Too sinful. Oh, is there no more

black cherry jerm? What a shame. Well,

I'll get some tomorrow. There's a

message for you. Where is it? It was on

the telephone. Very early. He said he

didn't want to disturb you. Miss you?

No, another miss you. He wouldn't give

his name, but he made me say the message

over and over.

Oh, and what is the message? I'm sorry

about yesterday. Do you like

bras? You understand it?

Yes. Yes, I understand it. But what are

brands?

Look over

there. The second album from the

top. Yes, that's it. Put it on. Fine.

Now the first

switch. Those are brown music.

You better get dressed.

Do I have to? Mhm. What time is it?

About 5:30.

Why don't we stay over tonight and go in

tomorrow? Nope. Why not? I have to be in

Paris tonight. Why?

None of your business. I'm not going.

What? I'm not going,

Maisy.

Maisy, no. Come on, Misy. I want to stay

here. Stop. Misy, will you? No. Please,

M. I want to stay here. Stop me. Stop.

Hello.

Hello. I'm glad you decided that you

like bronze. Do I? Well, I don't really

know. It doesn't matter so long as

you're here.

I can look, can't

I? Heat. Heat.

Heat. Heat.

Heat. Heat.

Heat. Heat.

Sorry,

please come be too.

No,

see,

makes no difference. I especially said

extra drive.

What's the matter? Oh, nothing. Oh,

there's the bell. Don't you think we

should be getting back? Intermission is

almost over. Will you have dinner with

me after the concert? I can't. I have to

get home. I thought you said he'd gone

away for the weekend on business. I

expect Rou back tonight. What if he

doesn't show up? Well, then I'd have

been there alone.

Oh, he must be quite a man to deserve

such devotion. Such blind

self-sacrifice. I love him. What about

him?

What about him? Does he love you? Yes,

of course. All is for the best in his

best of all worlds. Don't play the

cynic. It doesn't suit you. At your age,

you ought to believe in such things.

Stop making fun of me. Stop talking down

to me as if I were 5 years old.

Sorry. I'm not making fun of you, but of

of the parts you keep playing. If you

would just be yourself. It's true. Since

I've known you, I've played the

brilliant young lawyer, the bashful

lover, spoiled child, god knows what

else. But it's all been for you, only

for

you. Don't you think that's love? We

better hurry.

I am sorry we are late. Yes.

How long

has How long have you and Ro?

5 years.

And you've been happy. Yes, I have.

Always. There's no all ways. I've had 5

years of happiness and

doubt and warmth and

pain. But only the happiness matters.

You're not happy now.

Yes, I am. No, I know you're not. I told

you I love him. And I love my mother and

my old nurse and my I don't see what

that's got to do. No, you say you love

him, but you're alone. You spend your

Sundays alone. You're you're you're

dying alone. How often do you sleep

alone? You have no right. I have the

right. Sh.

I have the right to fall in love with

you and nothing can stop me and I shall

take you away from him if I

can. I will. I

will. This is

What's that?

Brams. How do you know? Well, the

announcer said so. Do you like it?

Oh, Sunday afternoon so awful on the

radio. Put it back where it was. Oh,

well, there's nothing else.

Funny. When I was eight, I wanted to be

a conductor.

I wanted to be a movie star, and I'm

going to be. Mhm. I've got to have

dinner with Charelle tomorrow night, but

I'll call you as soon as I can get away.

All right. Yeah. Yeah. It's not nice of

you to leave me tonight. I'm going to

miss you.

Maisy, I can't drive. Don't be silly.

You're a wonderful driver. As a matter

of fact, you do everything well.

Hello.

Hey.

What's the matter? Nothing. I'm just so

glad to see you. How was your trip?

Fine. Did you just come in? Yes.

Where have you been? I've been to a

concert at Salel. Oh, do you like br?

Why did you ask that? I heard it on the

radio driving back. Oh, how did you

happen to go? I young Vanderbishes asked

me.

Oh. And I had nothing to do and I

couldn't remember whether I liked Brahms

or not. A young boy asked me a silly

trite question and I didn't have an

answer. I'd forgotten. I I can't keep my

mind on anything lately except the man I

love is never around. Well, what is it?

I told you someone asked me a question.

But I have no answers anymore. And all

the questions seem so important

suddenly. Do I like bronze? What is my

favorite color? Do I like roses? Do I

love you? What's happened? What's that

boy been saying to you? What difference

does it make as long as I love you? And

you know the answer to that one, don't

you? What have you been doing? Listening

to Brahms. Oh, stop talking about Brams.

I can't leave him out. Well, what's this

about? Is it me? Yes, you and me.

You know that. I love you. No, I don't.

I don't know anything

anymore. Oroj has time caught up with me

already. Already?

Paula, what do you want me to tell you?

That you're the most important thing in

the world to me? Well, that someone was

always there. The one that you can be

sure of, to love, and to trust when you

want

to. Sometimes I wish I was one of the

you pick up in bars, not to be

trusted or esteemed or

admired. Just to be loved. You know,

they mean nothing to me.

As I know, it's how I am. I've never

tried to hide it. Oh, you've been

honest. You don't really care. You've

said so.

That's right. Well, then as long as

we're honest, we can be self-indulgent.

Well, then what's wrong? I wish you and

I were falling in love again. That's

all. We must all sure of the future

then. I'm sure of it now. Nothing has

changed. Well, we can go on just as we

are. Of course, forever. Sure, why

not? I love you.

You've had a bad weekend, Per. I should

not have left you. I'm sorry I had to.

It's all right.

Where should we dine? Where would you

like? Oh, I don't care. I'll just change

into another dress and fix my face. It

won't take a minute. Oh, look. Your mask

fell down. Mhm.

No harm,

Dan. Hey, what

up? Tell me, what about Leago? Do you

think we can get in? I think so. Don't

you want a drink? Mhm.

Would you like one? No, thank you.

Well, tell me, how was Brussels? Was

your trip successful?

Yes, fine.

You don't sound very enthusiastic.

What about now? No. No. I don't think

they're open on Sundays. No, no. Let's

go. Be fine.

Ro. Yes. I'm glad you came home tonight.

So am I. Was the traffic awful? Well,

it's always bad on Sunday, but the

parkway is quick, even when it's

crowded. Parkway, but there's no parkway

from Brussels.

No, of course not. Did I say

parkway? They fit their road so well. It

seems like a parkway now. I made

wonderful time.

Well, that's good. What about some place

with music?

Might be nice.

I don't know which ones are open. We can

drive around and see.

All right.

Is that the door? Yes. Yes, I'll go.

Hello, Gabby. What's wrong with you? Who

is this?

Gabby, madame. The letter for you. All

right. How's your English, Gabby? I

haven't seen you for a long time. I've

been here.

Who is it from? I don't know. It uh it

came by hand here. Thank you. Do you

mind reading it to me, darling?

It may be personal. Think so.

It is. It's from Young Band.

It doesn't

matter. We have no secrets from each

other, have we?

I ask you to forgive me. I was jealous.

And you can only be jealous of things

that you own.

Well, now you'll be rid of me for a

while. I'm leaving for London tomorrow

to work on a case and it's very

important. But I don't really care

because all of the time I'll be thinking

of

you. Please, please remember, even if

you never want to see me

again, that I love

you. You're Phillip.

I'm ready. You haven't said where you

want to go. Oh, I think some place with

music would be nice, don't you?

Right. It is true, my lord. As my

learning friend suggested, that the

facts do seem simple. On a certain day,

at a certain time, in a certain place,

two ships collided. One English, one

French. But that the papers you asked

for in Paris first class. Good. How's it

going? Investigation. Here's a letter

for you. Massively complicated. I wonder

how my learned friend will explain away

in simple terms the testimony of witness

Sharp who stated

that at no time during the 10 minutes

preceding the collision did I hear a

signal from the English

ship. Complication upon

complication. There is to the question

of the fog.

Witness Glennville states that the fog

was lifting, but witness Olivier states

emphatically that the fog was

thickening. There is to the testimony of

the quartermaster Bellnap.

Belnap, who was forced to admit that he

had left the bridge a few moments

earlier to get more sugar for his

coffee. Let me recall to your memory, my

lord, the statement of Seaman Jeandran,

who

first ship radar screen at a distance of

three miles.

London airport, please. But first up at

the door jester.

It's beautifully done. Don't you think

so, Lucia? Yes, my dear. Well, thank

you, Myrtle. Is she expensive? Not with

me, my dear. Not with me. And uh who is

he? Who? He Oh, he's in the truck

business or something. I think that's

what she told me. I must say he looks

it. Is he? He seems rather attractive.

You think so?

Yes, as a matter of fact, he is rather.

Please, Roia, don't be bored. Bored? How

could I possibly be bored with such a

charming gay crowd? At least try to be

nice to Mandes. You haven't even talked

to her. Yes, I have. I said good

evening. And uh it was nice of you to

ask me. Please, here she comes. Paula,

dear, everyone adors the apartment. I've

never heard people rave so. I'm glad

Vitor Tra is here. He should be very

proud of you, Paula. Oh, I am, madam.

And you have something to do with

trucks, haven't you? Oh, how

interesting. You buy trucks in America,

then sell them in Europe. And sometimes

we buy them in Europe and sell them in

America. We are very flexible. A

fascinating. Isn't it sad Philillip

isn't here to see you? You do look so

lovely. Philip's my son. He'll be

furious when he hears he's missed you,

but he had to go to London on something

terribly legal. Did he tell you Philip's

mad about Paula? You know, it's really

quite touching. Yes, I know. Madam. Oh,

dinner. All right, Suzanne. Maraine

Claw. Dinner. Dinner. Everybody.

Raymond, you're sitting next to Madame

Flor. Alier, you're sitting with Madame

Tessier. Pauladier. Talk to him about

modern paintings. He has a fabulous

collection. And you're next to me, Mr.

Dele. Whoa. And you're going to tell me

all about your trucks and what you do

with them. You're a Leo, aren't you? I

beg you pardon. Well, you must have been

born in late July or early August. No,

early me. Oh, Taurus the ball. Well, I

suppose I should have guessed.

See, this is always the most difficult

part, trying to get people to find the

right places. I can never read my own

writing. France, you're here. Mariline

over there. Claude, you're next. Oh,

here. Oh, yes. Yes. And Buladier, you're

here. Oh, no. No. I'm sorry, darling.

You're on the other side over there.

Alan, you're on her right. Raymond on

her left. That's right. Lucen, you're

next to France on her right there.

Murder, you're here.

I'm sorry, but I must be frank with you.

I think it's all nonsensical. They call

themselves abstract expressionists, but

what do they express? That's what I want

to know.

Yes. Yes. Isn't it?

We We were just talking about Jean Prey.

Of course, you know about his latest

affair. I'm afraid I don't even know who

the gentleman is. You don't know Jean?

No. I'm sorry. No. And I can't think why

his latest affair should interest me.

Unless Unless Unless the lady's my wife.

And happily, I'm not married. Oh, that's

rather a narrow point of view, don't you

think? If everyone were like you, what

would it be all about?

Phillip.

Good

evening. Hope I'm not disturbing you.

Well, Philip, we didn't expect you until

Saturday. Well, I uh I thought I'd

surprise you. Philip, what's happened?

Was the case settled? No, but it's it's

going very well. It's going very well

indeed. Well, darling, have you had your

dinner? Oh, yes. I had something on the

plane. I'll just sit here and keep you

company.

No, no, no, no. Marcel, Mr. Phillips had

dinner. Hello.

Hello. I must say to Razor Phillip is

looking well. Hard work agrees with him.

Yes. I don't think hard work I got your

note. Just caught up with me. I came

straight back. Would you like some

fruit? Oh, no. No, thank you.

I never thought I could hate London so

much.

Well, you're in luck. Mother would like

to talk to you. And you would like to

talk to Paula. That's right. Wait a

minute. There's something I want to ask

you. What? I

uh I wonder if I could have a cigar.

Of course.

What did you say to Philillip? I asked

him for a cigar. Why? He looked angry.

He wasn't.

Should I have been? Well, I don't know.

Here we are. Oh, thank you.

Do you like cigars? No. No,

unfortunately. Can I get you something

to drink? No, no, thank you. I think we

should be going home. I have to get up

early. Oh, well, if Paula isn't tired, I

can drive her home later. I suppose you

could. Would you like that, darling?

No, I'm It's getting late. Good night.

Good night.

You certainly brightened up that

party. It was dying until young love

came along.

Now they've got something to talk

about. Have you heard about one of

Vanderbash's interior decorator?

You did over the apartment and seduce

her son at no extra

charge. I think you've got something

there,

Paula. If you're going to do the young

master's bedroom, why not do the young

master? Makes the work so much more

interesting.

You're going away tomorrow? Yes. Where?

I told you. Switzerland, Denmark,

Germany.

How long will you be gone? About 10

days.

Ro, good night.

Phillip. But how did you get here? You

must have driven like a fool. Get in,

please. Why do you do such idiotic

things? Please, just for a moment.

Why did you come back from London? To

see you. Oh, but why? Why? Your letter.

Well, that's really What did I say? Come

back soon. Oh, no.

My sweet Phillip, your letter was too

sad and more than I deserve. I miss you.

Come back soon.

I didn't mean it that way.

I I was tired and unhappy and and

lonely and and oh, I'm sorry. I

shouldn't have written it. But you meant

it.

I suppose so. Then

has anything changed since then?

No, nothing has changed.

Wow.

Here you are. SAS 252. Now you can board

the aircraft. This way, please.

Gentlemen, do you mark Copenhagen going

to meet us? Yeah, I still have a car. Ro

Scandinavian Airlines announc the

departure of flight. You go ahead. I'll

catch up. We haven't got much time.

Don't worry. All passengers are kindly

requested to proceed to customs and

passport.

What are you doing here? I called you at

home, but you' already gone. I wanted to

see you. Come over here.

I'm sorry about last night. I was angry.

I was actually jealous. I wanted to call

you. Will you take me with you? What? I

want to come with you. Can I? Paul, it

makes sense. The plane is leaving in.

Yes, I know. But I'll go home and pack a

bag and I'll join you wherever you are

tonight. Where will you be, darling? I

have two men with me from the home

office in Chicago. How would I explain?

But say I'm your wife. Americans always

travel with their wives. They'll

understand. Paul, this is

crazy. Is it because of that boy?

Because of me? Please. Please. Hey.

Yes. I'm coming. Paula, don't worry.

I'll come back to you soon. 10 days no

more. Get rid of that boy. Paul bothers

you. And don't worry, everything will be

all right. You'll see.

Well, you know, I love you. I'll call

you when I get back. Goodbye, darling.

Attention, please.

Will SAS pass on flight 252. Please

proceed immediately to customs and

passport control. Thank you.

Vanderbesh is occupied at the moment.

Oh, here he is now. Hold the line,

know. I wasn't listening. What's this?

It's personal call for you. A woman's

voice, and it's not your mother.

Hello. Yes, Paul. Yes, of course, we can

talk. Listen, tonight, I thought we

could I'm afraid I I can't. What do you

mean? I can't see you again, Philip.

Please try to understand that. Whatever

happens would only hurt you. Don't try

to see me. Please. Will you promise me

that, Phillip? Phillip, you must promise

me, please.

Yes. Yes. Of of course.

Say no

more. It's

goodbye as

before. It's

goodbye. I can

tell. Save the lie.

It's farewell and goodbye again, my

love. So why deny you? Let's go. I've

had it.

Well, come on, will you? We've been

going like this for days.

You said you'd give two years of your

life to be really in love. Yeah, I know

I said it. I'm sorry I said it. That was

way back. Well, I am in love, but she

won't believe me. I believe you. You

told me a thousand times. Now, let's go.

Huh? Phillip, come

on. I'm

going. You'll be all right. Yeah. I'll

check you tomorrow. So long.

Hello. Your pal's gone. Left you, huh?

You talk about love as if you knew all

about love. I

do. You going to buy me a drink?

Sure.

Desc.

Tell you what about love? Oh, it's kind

of hard to explain unless it's nothing.

It's just a word in a song. It's in a

million songs. You've said it just

right. It's the most used word in the

world and it doesn't mean a thing. Just

a word in a

song.

Well, here's to little old love.

Here's a little old

love. Going to sing me another.

Well,

love is just a word.

It doesn't mean a

thing. It's a fancy way of

saying two people want to

swing. Love is just a

word. And when the fun

begins, a word we use to cover a

multitude of sins.

Love is just a

word that's

dropped all over town.

How long have you been here? I don't

know.

You must be wet through. I had to see

you. I tried not to, but it's all right.

Since you sent me away, I don't know

where I've been or what I've done. How

about you? Oh, me? I

worked. I went to collection. Bought a

new

dress. They're tearing up the street in

front of my house. Oh, I know. I almost

got stuck in my car.

It'll be fixed in a few days.

Paul, are you sure you don't want Think

some good looking cold chicken in the

ice

box. Boy, am I

hungry? Where's the

butter? Have you got any wine left? Oh,

here. Wait. Oh, right. I found a bottle

of

beer. Someone cucumber salad left

over. I can't find any. Oh, wait. Here

it is. Here it is. Darling, the record.

Can you turn it over? Never mind. I'll

get

it. Well, here we are. How does it look?

Pretty good, huh? I don't know why I

feel as if I haven't eaten in days.

Hello, my love.

Oh, Gabby, wait. I forgot I put the

chain on last night. Morning. It's all

right. I'll take it. Would you like me

to get Paula? Can you help?

Good morning. Can you help me with this

thing?

Gabby, this is Phil. Um, Mr. Vanderb,

don't worry about breakfast. I'll do

that. Well, thank you, Gabby.

Gabby, I'll call you if I need you.

She was embarrassed. Not embarrassed.

Surprised. Gabby is my guardian, my

protector. She's much older and wiser

than I am. My Gabby, look at the time.

I'm going to be late. Oh, don't worry. I

can drive you to the shop. No, I don't

want you to. Could you get the butter?

Well, why shouldn't I take you? Oh,

there's no need.

I can let you off at the corner if you

don't want anybody to see us. Why?

I don't know. I just thought Don't

worry. They'll know soon enough and

they'll have such fun. Have you heard

about Paula and her new young men? Oh,

she must have such vitality, Paula. Such

an appetite for life and young men. Does

it matter?

Not really. All right, then. What time

are you through? About 6.

6? What am I going to do till 6? Well,

how do you know that I'm not busy

tonight?

That's true. No, I don't.

Let me do that.

I'm not busy tonight. Good. Still, what

will I do to sick? I don't know. Work.

Work? Oh, I know what I'll do. I'll

wander around Paris thinking of you. And

then I'll have lunch alone thinking of

you. And well, then I'll wait for 6:00

to come.

Heat. Heat.

Hey, please pass. You go ahead. I'll

catch up with you. Why? Where are you

going? to make a phone call. Sell the

portal to get as a cab. What's his

number? 24. Don't worry, I'll be there.

Hello.

Hello.

I just got in. I'm at the airport. How

are you? Did you have a good trip? I

want to see you. Are you free for dinner

tonight?

No, no, I can't have dinner.

Well, can you manage lunch? Yes. Yes.

Yes. Let's have lunch. Where? Where

would you like? Oh, it doesn't matter. A

place that's not too crowded.

Fine. All right. I'll meet you there. Do

you want me to pick you up? No. No. I'll

meet you there. All right.

I I'm looking forward to seeing you.

Goodbye, Ro.

I'm sorry I'm late. No, it's me. I was

early.

Don't you feel well? Why? You don't

usually drink in the middle of the day.

Oh, that I felt a bit tired. Oh, well

then I I think I'll have a

vermouth. Wait,

it seems a long time since I've seen

you. 10 days?

Seems longer.

I called you a couple of time from

Germany, but I couldn't get you.

I've been out quite a bit. Or maybe I

turn off my phone.

You never used to.

Thank you. Have you seen Jimmy?

No.

What have you done?

I've been seeing Phillip quite a lot.

Oh, the

young still mad about you.

And you do you still find him amusing?

Yes.

amusing. No more than that.

More. Well, there's nothing to say to

that, is there?

There's so much you could have

said, Horushi. If I were to tell you

that everything still depends on you,

you wouldn't know how to say it, would

you? I don't know. But I do.

You would say that you were too too

obsessed with your freedom, too

frightened of losing it. I said I don't

know. All I know is that I test the idea

of you and that

young play. We miss you. I hope it's

worth your time.

It isn't a matter of he loves me.

It never occurred to me when I asked her

to lunch that I would have to listen to

the story of your love life with that

boy.

Since you've always made sure I knew all

about yours with your girls. At least

that's

normal. I

mean, goodbye.

Hey, my name is

Martini. Paula,

I'm sorry. That was stupid of me. You

know I didn't mean it. Oh, it it was

just as much my fault. Perhaps we

shouldn't see each other for a

while. Goodbye, darling. Paula, you know

that

I You mean so much to me,

Paula. You do.

Wild.

Thank you.

17 in the ship. The last four first

three all by five. Love, what's our room

number? What? Our room number? I don't

know what you've got the key.

425. All the rest on 4 and 25.

It's too much.

Ro, hello. Jimmy, what are you doing in

Oil? I just decided to get away, you

know. Is Paula here? Where are you

staying? No, Paula's not here. Oh, I

haven't seen Paula in 2 months. Oh, I'm

sorry. I didn't know. Well, that's

stupid. Well, I

mean, see you later, OJ.

close the window, love.

Love, please close the window. It's

cold. Stop calling me love.

What time is this?

Gosh, do you realize it's it's only

5:00? What are you doing up, love? Hey,

you haven't been to bed yet. Stop

calling me love. Why? You call me Maisy.

Just stop using that word. What's the

matter with you? Love. Love. Love. Do

you know what it means?

Well, do

you? What does it mean, love? Did we

come here to discuss my vocabulary? Just

stop calling me love. It's all right at

night, but not in the morning. We're

getting particular now. Will you kindly

close the

window? Here's

your change. Thank you. Thank you, sir.

Speaking. Yes, madam.

Mr. De Mar. I haven't seen him, madam.

Thank you. Thank you, sir. But how about

your luggage, sir? Madam will bring it.

Very good, sir. I hope

Phillip.

Phillip.

Phillip.

Hello. I want to talk to you. Uhoh.

Well, Philillip, this can't go on. You

have to work. When was the last time you

went to the office? T Tuesday. Tuesday.

And when

before you've reached a point where you

do nothing at all. You see me off in the

morning and then you wait for me to come

home at night. And now you're taking to

sneaking drinks.

Oh, no, that's not so. I I just I just

rinsed out that glass because I know you

hate untidiness. Yes. I hate untidiness

and I hate lies and I hate weakness and

pretty soon pretty soon I hate you.

That was bound to come, wasn't it?

Oh, Phillip, I didn't mean it that way.

But I can't have you become a stupid

sudden lump because of me. I've told you

to go to work a hundred times and this

is the last. That's all. And if I don't

what? Well, I won't be able to see you

anymore.

You could send me away just like that?

Yes. Oh,

Philly. Stop it. You're acting.

Look at me. Look at

me now. What is

it? It's just that you don't love me and

there's nothing I can do about it. I

knew from the beginning that you would

send me away someday, but all all the

time I kept hoping that it that it never

would happen.

And all the whiskey I've drunk, all the

whiskey in the world, couldn't make any

difference because now it has

happened. And that's it. Oh no,

Phillip. You're such a fool. Such a

child. Oh, such a

fool. You've played at being the

abandoned lover, and you've done it so

well. You believe it yourself. I do care

about you. You know that,

Philillip. Look at me now. Look at me.

You don't want me to go?

No, not today. But I want you to work.

I will. I promise I will.

I was so afraid.

Were you such a fool?

What is it? I just wanted to see if you

were in. Sorry.

Hello. Who's calling please? Oh yes. Uh

one moment please.

Madame Tessier.

Yes.

Dear Hello Roa.

How are you? I'm all right. And you?

Yes, I'm fine.

Well, I'm taking a holiday next week.

This is a time of year, you know.

Remember, we always went away for a week

or so. So, I thought I'd call you and as

long as I'm getting my ticket, I thought

if you want me to get a ticket for you,

I don't think it's possible. RJ, you

don't?

It's just not that easy.

Well, how how could we go away and

pretend that

not we couldn't help thinking? Oh,

that's why I'm going not to think to

think of nothing. But there's not a very

good reason for going. The best.

It isn't that easy. And I'm sure you

don't need me for that. For that? I'm

sure you'll be all right.

by yourself or with some of

your someone else. What? Well, nothing.

Nothing. They never meant anything to

me. You know that. As long as you had me

to come back to then you won't come. No,

no, no. Ro, goodbye. Hold on.

Take care of yourself, will you?

Yes, sir. I will.

Oh, wait. Come on. Come on. Come on.

Don't rush me there. See?

Not bad. Excuse me, sir. Good, sir. Oh,

at last. Say it's getting cold, isn't

it? Yes, a bit. Oh, wait. Would you mind

going up to room 16? What would you

like, darling? Oh, there's a yellow

cardigan on the bed. Yes, ma'am. All

right, let's go. No, wait a minute. Wait

a little. But no, I did not. Look at

that. I knew I would have won. Didn't

you cheat pushing him with your foot a

little? No, I did not. Oh, you ought to

be ashamed of yourself.

Oh, it's wonderful getting you away from

Paris. You're a different person. You

shed your skin. Thank you. Why don't we

stay over another night and go back in

the morning? Yes. Why don't we live?

Oh, good evening. Good. Good evening.

You uh you uh know Madame Tessier, don't

you?

Madame Flurry, Mercio Flurry, and this

is Meline and this is Pierre. Good

evening. H Did uh you uh drive out from

Paris for dinner? It's a wonderful

place, isn't it? How was the traffic? We

we got stuck in Slooh yesterday. And

oh, here we are. Is there a one out?

Yes. Thank you. Do sit down, children.

Your food is getting cold. Lucian,

your key, sir.

Well, nice to have seen you. Goodbye.

Goodbye. Goodbye. Should we have another

drink? It'll warm us up. How old is she?

Oh, please. Lucy and Deal. You better

start asking for the bill. It takes an

eternity here.

This way, madam. Your table is ready.

You go ahead. I'll be right there.

to dry.

Children's here. I see.

Where's madame? I don't know. She went

out, but your dinner is ready, sir.

I'd like to go back to Paris. All right,

Paula. What do you care what people like

that think? I don't. But what difference

does it make? It doesn't. Well, then.

Well, let's not talk about it. No, we

will talk about it and you'll listen.

Oh, please don't. This is This is

unworthy of you and humiliating for me.

You're making too much of it. No, you're

making too much of it. I'm not a fool,

you know. I'm not a child you have to

hide things from. If you'd agree, I'd

marry you tomorrow. Oh, don't be silly.

I'm so much older. That's not the

problem. Age has nothing to do with it.

I love you. I need you. And nothing that

people say can make any

difference. The only problem for you,

for us, is

Roger. He's still there, isn't he? Deep

inside you, and you can't drive him out.

What is it they used to do when someone

had a demon inside? Say prayers, burn

incense, ring bells, make noise. If I

did all that, would it drive Roger out

of you?

I'm sorry. Somehow it never occurred to

me that you It just never occurred to

you that I could think that.

Do you think we should keep going? It's

up to you. The price is still low. Who

is that revolting man who keeps bidding

against us? It's another dealer. He'll

stop soon. I know him. Well, it better

be soon because

there we have them. Well, and a very

good prize.

Oh, they are a bargain, aren't they? I

think they'll go very well in the

library. Come to think of it, I may put

them in Philip's room. Uh, by the way,

uh, how is he? Why don't you see him?

Oh, he comes home from time to time to

pick up his laundry.

Oh, I didn't know. My dear, it's

perfectly normal. As a matter of fact, I

always hoped Philip would fall in love

with an older woman. Do you want me to

pay you a commission on those chairs?

Well, after all, you took the time, and

your time is worth something. Uh, isn't

it? Oh, please. Well, if you insist.

Now, do you mind if I ask you something

about Phillip? Yes, I do. Your car's

here, madam. Oh, uh, thank you. Can I

give you a lift, Paula? I'm going to do

yours. Thank you. No, I'd rather walk.

Are you sure? Yes. Thank you. Goodbye.

Goodbye.

Still, you have learned a certain amount

of French law since you've been here.

But New York is where you will work. It

is where you will live. I've had a long

talk with your mother, and we agree that

under the circumstances, your career

will profit from your immediate return

to New York. That's very nice of you,

but I'm not going.

I'm afraid you have no choice. Oh, yes,

I have. Well, you'll have to talk to

your mother about that. Ellis,

Mr. Flurry, were they to discover that

you have a mistress, and I'm sure you

have, where would they send you?

Goodbye, sir.

Goodbye. Goodbye.

Goodbye. All

this way, please. That table over there.

No, no, no. Not that one. Not tonight.

I'm afraid everything is reserved. Well,

how about this one? Oh, I'm sorry. No

butts. No butts. Uh, what's your name?

Fras. You don't know me, but this is a

night we're both going to remember.

We'll take this one. Madame,

you asked for me, Mrs. Yes. Yes. We'd

like some flowers. No, no, I'd like you

to find the most beautiful bouquet you

can

from. here.

You're completely mad. Absolutely. What

is this all about? We're celebrating

what? My independence. My independence

of the world. My dependence on you.

Prosa. Yes. We would like to start with

something just great. Followed by the

most marvelous dinner ever served in the

history of Maxine. Would you like to

start with some fresh? Yeah. No. No.

Caviar.

Caviar. Caviar with benise. Yes. and

vodka to go with it. Madam, will you

dance? May I have the pleasure of this

dance?

Vodka, the best and lots of it.

No, no, no. Champagne, a magnet.

Will you please tell me what this is all

about?

I've quit my job. Or rather, I've traded

it in for Paris. You've quit your job?

Yep. Why? They were going to send me

away to New York. Oh, but spill it. No,

but not from you. Let's have a packed.

All right. No, Phillip, you can't do

this. I won't let you do it.

It's done.

I saw her at Balenciaga

Bis. I saw her at Balenciaga in a dress

from Belma and the next day at

Lingi. Isn't it funny?

Today she was having lunch with Kilar

Rosh wearing a Chanel and now here she

is holding you. I almost wore that belt.

You like it?

H what are you thinking? How stupid the

world is. What? Nothing. Come on. Let's

dance.

I have a confession to make. I almost

did something terrible. What? Well, it's

a beautiful place between your neck and

your shoulder which I almost bit.

May I? I'll fill it. Well, you think

about it and let me know.

You are very far away tonight, Sherry.

Oh, am I? Shall we go to the elephant?

Why? I may be

here.

Heat.

Heat.

Here we go back. I think our food is

he's there. Okay.

Phoenix.

Shall we go somewhere else?

If you like to.

Doesn't really matter.

Well,

where do we go from here?

I don't know.

Good night, Philip. Paul,

can

I see you tomorrow?

Yes, of course.

Yes. May I help you? Oh, Mr. Mar, I

haven't seen you for some time. Yes. Is

Paula here? Oh, yes. She's uh she was

here a minute ago. Madame Tier. Madame

Tessier.

Yes, Mr. Stana. Oh, hello. Hello,

Paul. Well, I

am. Could we go somewhere? Yes, of

course.

Well, I've been making up speeches, but

now I

can help

me. Last night, I wanted to walk across

the room and

say, "This is enough. Let's go home."

And then later I walked and walked

and it can't go on like

this.

I I can live without you. There. Now

I've said it.

Why was it such a terrible thing to say?

It was all my fault.

I shouldn't have let you get involved. I

should have stopped you right at the

beginning. Oh, my darling, you're not

very bright. I'm not. But it doesn't

matter. I'm

home. for whatever it

is there

sugar. Oh, Phillip. Phillip tried to

understand. We met at the time when you

needed me and I needed you and we were

very

lucky. But it isn't enough to keep two

people together. It couldn't

last. I kept hoping selfishly that it

would, but it couldn't.

And all he had to do was say,

"Please." Well, I don't know. I suppose

I ought to feel proud in a

way. I mean, if it wasn't for me, you

probably wouldn't be getting married,

you know. No, I'm kind of a a Cupid.

Yes, that's what I am. A cupid. Look,

Phillip, you shouldn't It's true, isn't

it? I was sort of a an

interlude. Damn

it. Damn him. Damn you. Damn us

all. Why couldn't you love me? You said

it yourself, Phillip. The demon inside

of me. I can't drive him out.

Phillip. Phillip, I

I'll never forget.

Sure.

Me

neither. Well, Paula, what am I going to

do? What's going to happen to me?

Oh, Phillip, darling,

you'll be going back to New York. You

have friends there, and your life is

there. Sure. No, you're right. You're

right. I'll I'll meet the right girl,

get married, live happily ever

after. Um, where's where's my

slippers? Where's the other one?

Thank

you. Well,

uh, am am

I ever going to see you again? You can

if you want

to. I don't think we should.

No. No, we

shouldn't. What the hell am I doing?

Will you leave all this stuff with your

concier, please? Yes, I'll get it all

together. Phillip.

Phillip. Oh, Phillip try to

understand. I am old. I am old. I am

old. I'm old.

Please, Ore.

Well, well, that wasn't so bad, was it?

You talk as if you just been to your

dentist.

Gabby. Gabby. Yes, madame. Oh, I thought

I'd never get here. Isn't Miss your home

yet? No, madame. Oh, would you please

throw him your bath? And uh what shall I

wear tonight? Let's see.

Oh, the black chiffon. No, it's too

dressy. We're just going to a small

beastro for dinner.

This one? No, no, that one is What is

that next to it? That? Yes, that's fine.

What a day. The trouble with being an

interior decorator is that everyone

thinks he knows your job. But nobody

ever thinks of telling a plumber how to

fix a sink. But oh, Gabby, my zipper.

No, no, no. It's all right. Never

mind. But you just start making a

curtain and everybody will Gabby. Did

Miss call? No, madam.

Not too hot, Gabby. I think we need in

tomorrow night, Gabby. Let's get a good

steak for Miss No, we had that on

Monday. Well, let's get some lamb chops

and tell Madame Fu to make me one of her

beautiful Oh, I'll

take

Hello. Oh, Roier, where are

you? Yes, I suppose if you have

to. Yes, I

understand.

What? Oh, I'll probably have something

to eat and go to bed.

All

right. Goodbye.

Heat.

Heat. Heat.

Heat.

Heat. Heat.
