Oh, it's no use Guy,
mine has housemaid's knee.

Don't be discouraged Egbert.

I think you show distinct tendencies
towards terpsichorean excellence.

You think so really?

Well, you know, as a matter
of fact my inner soul is always...

yearned to express itself in the dance.

- If you were I, what would you do?
- Stick to law.

Spoken like a real native, you recognize it?

No.

- Well monsieur.
- Oh, yes.

Oh my, Guy this is an expensive place here.

Guy, in the excitement of
changing my clothes on that...

train I must've left
my wallet in that other suit.

Egbert, what would you do without me?

I mean to say...

I've been in America for the past
several months with my friend here.

Just passing through Paris on our way
to London, we're taking the boat tomorrow.

I am the proprietor, what can I do for you?

Well, I'm afraid we'll have to
mail you the amount of the check.

Well monsieur, I do not know you.

This gentleman's father is Sir Frederick
Fitzgerald, the distinguished London attorney.

- Yes, and I'm a lawyer too.
- You monsieur?

My friend here is Guy Holden,
the American dancer. Musical...

comedy and whatnot,
certainly you heard of Holden.

Oh yes, I've heard of Guy Holden.

Bu, monsieur, have you
any means of identification?

Well, you see, we...

Left them in the other suit.
Oh, yes, yes, yes.

Well, I...

I have it, I have it.

Look here old chap...

if my friend dances like Guy Holden
that proves he is Guy Holden, doesn't it?

Go ahead Guy, dash them off a bit of a minuet
or a polka or a schottische or something.

Now, wait a minute, wait a minute. I'm on my
vacation, I'm not going to do any dancing.

I heard they make you wash dishes in Paris.

There you are.

- That means nothing.
- Then you try it.

Suppose you do over there.

With all these people around?

Well, if you are Guy Holden
people should not disturb you.

No.

French cooking must make
the dishes very difficult to wash.

Guy, never mind.

Mr. Fitzgerald. Mr. Fitzgerald.

Mr. Fitzgerald.

Mr. Fitzgerald.

Who is it?
What's the matter? What do you want?

- Mr. Fitzgerald?
- Yes.

- Mr. Pinky Fitzgerald?
- Yes.

Pinky? Oh, that's
the first time I heard that one.

It must be from Father,
he's always called me Pinky.

Ever since I was a golden
haired little tot paddling about...

the ancestor's home in pale-pink pajamas.

What do you want?
Oh, yeah, tip that boy, will you?

Read that for me, I'm
all involved here Guy, please.

- Thank you guvnor.
- Right you are.

Yes, it's from your father, he says...

Leaving for Scotland, stop.
Take charge of office in my absence, stop.

Good, father is placing
everything in my hands.

But I haven't finished yet, he also says...

But don't do anything, just sit.

Let me see that.

Why Pinky, evidently you've
been in charge of the office before.

Excuse me sir, can
you help me in section D sir?

- What is it?
- I can't do a thing with her sir.

- Who?
- The lady in section D sir.

She's an American and you
know how these Americans are sir.

- When you finish, look after that gentleman.
- Yes sir.

Will you gentlemen come with me please?

Excuse me madam, I'm the chief
inspector, anything I can do for you?

You most certainly can.

This man wants to mess up my trunks...

after I carefully packed all the
lovely things I bought in Paris.

I'm very sorry madam, but we have to inspect
all luggage for dutiable merchandise.

And now madam, how much did you pay for this?

That? Oh no, how much did I pay for that?

I know I paid an awful lot. Oh, but
I shouldn't be telling you that, should I?

- Where did you buy it?
- Where did I buy it? Now, let me see.

What was the name of that town?

- Paris?
- Paris? No, no, it wasn't Paris.

Lyons?

No, no, it wasn't Lyons
but you're getting warmer.

- Nice?
- Niece, yes, that's who I'm waiting for.

- What?
- Yes, my niece Mimi.

I sent her a cable to London
and told her to meet me here.

- Where is she?
- I'm sure I don't know madam.

This is the only
other place she might be Miss.

Oh, there she is. Thank you very much.

- Hortense.
- Mimi, dear.

How are you?
Oh, you look perfectly marvelous.

Yes, don't I?

Oh, this is my niece Mimi.
You know, I told you about her.

The poor thing has
had her life all mixed up...

but I come over expressly
to straighten it all out for her.

Madam, we would appreciate it
if you straighten this matter out first.

Oh, what is it you want me to do?

You come with me and we'll make
a declaration of all your purchases.

Everything is so Topsy-turvy.

Mimi dear, will you put those
things in while I lock this trunk?

- These?
- Yes please.

And would you be good enough
to hold this for me? Thank you.

- You have a nice trip?
- Oh, had marvelous kid, I do adore Paris.

It's so much like Chicago that
I enjoyed every minute of it.

It's such a relief when you're traveling to
feel that you never really left home at all.

I shouldn't be long dear, come along men.

Porter. Porter.

- Oh porter.
- Sorry, I'm busy ma'am.

Porter.

Oh porter, porter.

Porter.

Porter, porter.

Porter.

I beg your pardon,
can I be of any assistance?

Why...

Oh yes, my, my aunt is in the inspector's
office, would you call her for me?

Oh yes, indeed.

- Thank you.
- With pleasure.

- You're an American, aren't you?
- Yes.

- So am I.
- So is my aunt.

You know, the one
you were going to call for me.

Oh yes.

Is there anything special
you want me to tell her?

Well, you might tell her
that my dress is caught.

Oh, your dress is caught.

My, my.

- Locked.
- Yes.

- And you want me to call your aunt?
- Yes.

You know, a third party might spoil this.

- Porter. Oh, porter.
- Porter, porter.

There's no reason
why I can't handle this myself.

You know, I pulled a cat out of
a well once when I was a boy.

Let me see...

- Maybe I should've called your aunt.
- Well...

Oh, I'm awfully sorry, please take this.

Oh, please forgive me.

I'm living in London,
where can I return this to you?

Oh, I'm stopping in London too.
May I save you the trouble and call for it?

I rather you wouldn't.

Well, here's my address.

I'll be waiting to hear from you.

- You didn't say goodbye.
- No, I didn't.

Well, that's wonderful,
that means I'll see you again.

Alright, I'll pay it, but I want
to know how every cent is spent.

Oh, here you are Hortense, I just had
the most embarrassing experience.

- A man tore my dress off.
- My goodness, anyone we know?

- Hortense?
- Here you are madam.

Oh, for me? And I do adore fruit baskets.

Oh, isn't he generous, but you've
shouldn't been so extravagant.

After all, we just met, you know.

Not bad, not bad at all.
Have you time for an encore?

- Sorry guvnor, my time is too valuable.
- Oh, so sorry.

Don't you want ask me who sent that sir?

Oh I see, the play spirit.
All right, tell me, who sent it?

The young lady gave me 3
shillings sir and asked me not to tell.

Oh yes, I see. And asked me not to tell.

- Guy.
- Yeah?

- Package for you.
- Package?

- Yeah.
- Oh, that's my raincoat.

- That must be her handwriting.
- Oh let me see, I used to study handwriting.

- Yeah.
- Oh, it's very neat.

Yes, the Os and the As are
open, that means extravagance.

Oh, look at the way she crosses
her Ts, that denotes temper.

And she makes little circles instead of dots.

Oh that's dreadful,
it's an unfailing sign of vanity, yes.

Of course, don't let me discourage you. I...

Guy, what is the matter with you? You seem to
be under some sort of a spell or something.

- I am, for the first time in my life.
- Oh?

What you looking for?

- Where's the note?
- Oh, no note.

- No note?
- No note.

- Well, did you talk to the messenger?
- I certainly did.

And he said that she asked him
not to tell where it came from.

I wonder if she
resented my tearing her skirt.

Well, I wouldn't be at all
surprised, that's the usual reaction.

- What you do that for?
- She couldn't move.

Sounds very unsporting of you Guy, really.

Well, you don't understand.
You see, she, it's an accident.

- It usually is, what's her name?
- I don't know.

- Where she lives?
- I don't know.

My, what an interesting romance.

I was in hopes that she send some note of...

thanks with this
raincoat along with her address.

Well, without having the
prophetic powers of a seventh son...

I would hazard that she
doesn't want to see you anymore.

Well...

I'm going to rush off to the office.

What you going to do Guy?

Going to start looking for her, I'll find
that girl Egbert, if it takes me from now on.

Well, it shouldn't be difficult. After all,
there are only 3 million women in London.

Hello, hello. I've been looking for you.

Wait me a minute.

Please stop, I want to talk to you.

Isn't it peaceful here?

Would you mind moving your car,
or don't you want it anymore?

Yes Guy, it is peaceful, isn't it?

What a shame, two perfectly beautiful cars,
in a moment, the air will be full of fenders.

Wait, would you
mind hitting it just about there?

That cigarette lighter never did work anyway.

Don't say I didn't warn you.

Porter, porter.

Can't do it, I guess I'm too economical.

Now there, can I offer you something?

Frosted chocolate,
Cointreau, Benedictine, marriage?

Oh, what was that last?

- Benedictine.
- No, after that.

Oh, marriage.

You always propose
marriage as casually as that?

It's nothing casual about it,
I'd given a lot of sincere thought.

As a matter of fact, I lost sleep.

Do you realize that I spent
the last two weeks looking for you?

Didn't you get your coat all right?

Yes, but I missed something.

Some little note telling me
where I could get in touch with you.

You know, I got to know something about you.

Whether you're happy, what flowers
you like, your favorite books and music.

Look, when do I see you again?

Won't you please tell me
where I can get in touch with you?

You can't.

I'm staying with friends, old friends.

You'd be much too upsetting. I
wouldn't know what you going to do next.

Well, if you won't give me
your phone number, here's mine.

Just wasting paper.

I thought you were economical.

That's better.

May I go now?

All right. But you will try
and call me tomorrow, won't you?

I'll be waiting, I'll be waiting every day.

And then I'll rest up at
night so I can wait some more.

I say old chap,
you mind letting us through here?

Oh rather, right you are, cheerio.

Right you are, sorry.
Awfully sorry, folks. Right.

I bought this in a sporting goods store.

Wait, you didn't tell me your name.

Mimi.

Mimi?

Mimi.

I'll tell Mr. Fitzgerald
you're here Mrs. Ditherwell.

Thank you very much.

Hortense, it's hopeless.
I don't know why we're here.

Oh darling, Egbert is
a very old friend of mine.

Oh, he doesn't know
much about law, his father who's the brains.

You know, all of his family
spent their entire lives at the bar.

Dear Egbert, he was nearly my third husband.

He would've been two, but he suddenly
left for India on an elephant hunt.

I wonder why he preferred to hunt
elephants when he could've married me.

I'm sorry Mrs. Ditherwell, Mr. Fitzgerald
doesn't seem to recall your name.

Why, what you mean, he doesn't?

Oh, of course, I've been married again.
He wouldn't know me as Ditherwell.

That was my third husband, my last.

Now, let me see.
What name did Egbert know me by?

Hortense darling.

I didn't marry in 1929 or 30.

That was the year of the crash and men
didn't know whether they had money or not..

Well, well, I tell you just what you say.
You say peanuts, he'll know.

- Peanuts?
- Yes.

You know, the association of ideas.

Peanut, elephant, elephant hunt, me.

- I'll tell him peanuts madam.
- Yes.

- Yes, yes, yes.
- She said to say peanuts.

Oh, did she? Well, tell her I don't want any.

She also mentioned something
about India, elephant hunting.

Well, that makes it,
peanuts, India, elephant hunt.

That doesn't make sense. Horte...

Oh, no. No, it couldn't
be, tell her I'm not here.

Tell her I'm in conference.
Tell her I'm out of town.

Egbert, darling.

Oh darling. Oh, you mustn't
mind him, he's so impetuous.

You do look wonderful and look just the same.

The same sweet smile
and the same dear little eyes.

- I want you to meet my niece, Mrs. Glossop.
- Mrs. Glossop.

- How do you do Mrs. Glossop?
- How do you do Mr. Fitzgerald?

- Glad to know you.
- Thank you. Well, yes. Sit down.

- Sit down.
- Yes, thank you.

I'm here professionally Egbert.

This poor little thing is married,
unhappily married. Now, isn't that criminal?

Oh, it's no crime to be
married, just shows a weakness...

on the part of men
that women take advantage of.

- Oh Egbert, are you proposing to me again?
- No, no, no.

- Mrs. Glossop I presume, has a problem.
- Yes, I have.

There are so many things in connection
with it that I hardly know where to begin.

Oh, well...

Sit down Egbert, I'll tell him all about it.

You see, she's been married two years
and she's scarcely ever seen her husband.

In fact, she never hears from him
unless he wants some of her money.

I met him at school,
he was one of my instructors.

- Yes, he's a geometrist.
- Oh, a geometrist.

- No darling, a geologist.
- Oh, a geologist.

Well, all right, a geologist, what
difference does it make? It's all the same.

- You know, rocks and things.
- Oh? Oh, he threw them?

No, he digs them, he digs them.

Well, have you asked
your husband for a divorce?

Repeatedly, but he
refuses to even discuss it with me.

Well of course, you understand that
obtaining a divorce in England...

is a very difficult thing, unless
the husband agrees to grant it.

Oh Egbert, I didn't know you like dolls.

He always had the mother instinct.

Ladies, as your legal adviser,
I would suggest that we resort to a...

- Thingamajig.
- Fragrante delicto.

- Why? Yes, yes, of course.
- Yes, yes.

You know, I had one at my second divorce.

Yes, of course Mrs. Glossop...

the details are very simple.

A seaside hotel and...

Mr. Fitzgerald, I'll do anything you say and
leave the further details to the two of you.

Oh, I think really it would be
much better for me if you remained.

No, no, run along dear, I'll fix everything.

Thank you Mr. Fitzgerald and
I feel very comfortable in your hands.

Oh really? Well, Mrs. Glossop I'll
work my brain to the bone for you.

- Goodbye.
- Goodbye.

Now, right down to business.

- Oh, Egbert.
- I mean the hotel.

I know a very nice one just opening at
Brightbourne, it's the hotel Bella Vista.

Oh Bella Vista and so easy to remember. I had
a cook named Bella once or was it a Masseur?

Well anyway, I'll have my niece
drive down and she'll meet you there...

tomorrow at the Hotel Maryland.

No, no, no, that wasn't it, was it?

But it had something
to do with a girl's name.

Perhaps you better take this with you.

Oh, the Bella Vista, of course. That's
what I said in the first place, isn't it?

Oh, goodbye Egbert, you know,
divorces make me so sentimental.

Don't you wish it was ours?

Yes miss.

I understand miss.

- Who was it, a man or woman?
- A lady sir.

- Did she give you a message?
- Yes sir.

Well, what is it, what is it? Tell me.

It's no use getting excited
sir, it was the wrong number.

Well, get everything ready. Hurry, hurry.
I'm leaving for the seashore immediately.

What's the matter?
Did another woman propose to you?

Yes, sort of. No, no, no, no. I got a case.

- Case of what?
- Oh dear, a divorce case.

With my father out of town, this is my big
opportunity, I'm going to handle all myself.

That will be good.

- Yes, hurry man, pack my things.
- And Mr. Guy's also sir?

Oh, good heavens,
what's he got to do with it?

Of course, a splendid idea
Guy, you got to come along too.

Change will do you
good, you look a little liverish.

It isn't liver sir, it's love sir.

I, I can't leave London.
I'm waiting for a telephone call.

Guy, you're not pining for that girl?

Pining? Men don't pine. Girls pine.

Men just suffer.

Guy, she hasn't
called you in over a fortnight.

It's perfectly obvious
that she's not interested.

You pulled her gown, she pulled your leg.

- Maybe you're right.
- Of course.

You know Eggy, I never waited two minutes...

for a girl in my life and here I
waited two weeks for this one.

- Where we going?
- To Brightbourne, a marvelous hotel.

To the Hotel
Mabel, the Margaret, the Nellie...

Oh, confound that woman, why did
she had to come back into my life?

Oh, it doesn't make any difference, come
along g*y, the change will do you good.

Thank you, thank you.
Well, I've been looking all over for you.

- Just dancing.
- Oh, is that what it was?

Oh, it's a marvelous place, isn't Guy?

Remind me to come down here the next
time I want my constitution undermined.

I think it's wonderful.

Oh, what is the matter with you?
Are you still moping over that same girl?

- Why, the world is just full of girls.
- I know, I know, but not like her.

She's music, she's the
buzzing of the bees in clover.

She's the rustle of the leaves in the trees.

She's water lapping on the shore.

Yes, she sounds like
a series of strange noises to me.

Well, cheer up Guy, cheer up.

- You may chance across her again some time.
- I know I will.

And when I do it won't be chance.
Chance is the fool's name for fate.

What was that last?
Chance is the fool's name for fate?

Guy, that's marvelous. Where did you get it?

Where I get it? It's just a line
from my last show, that's all.

It's wonderful, make a good
title for a song, don't you think?

♪ Chance is the
fool's name for fate, my lad ♪

Chance, Do you mind if I use it? Come in
handy you know, to sh**t into a conversation.

Go ahead, spring it on your father.
It may encourage him about you.

Chance is the fool's
name for fate, I'll have to remember that.

I love the place.

Oh, if Father could
only see with what eclat I am...

upholding the
professional dignity of the firm.

Guy, I'm going to stay
here and wait for my client.

Without me Egbert, I'm
going to my room, I'll see you later.

Well, I'll be here.

Pardon you, you rang sir?

Who, me? Why, my dear fellow,
what is there here to ring with?

Pardon sir, that's just a figure of speech.

Well, bring me, let me have a, a...

There, there, you see? Your figure of speech
is made me forget entirely what I wanted.

Could it have been
that you required crumpets?

No, no, no. I never ring for crumpets.

Would you be the kind of man
who ring for a toasted scone?

Scone? Well now? No, no, try me again.

Well then, can you imagine yourself with
a hankering for a nice gooseberry tart?

Oh, what an acid thought, please.

No crumpets, no scones, no gooseberry tart.

Well, that lands both of us
in a cul-de-sac, doesn't it sir?

Of course it does. I knew it would.

You know, I hate to leave you
like this. You, torn with doubts and...

me with my duty undischarged.

Oh well, cheer up old man, cheer up.
It will come to me.

Was it animal or vegetable sir?

No.

Well, that leaves us mineral, don't it sir?

Now sir, was it a bit of half-and-half?

A nogging of ale, a pipkin of porter...

a stoup of stout or a beaker of beer?

Tea.

Tea? Well, isn't it a small world sir?

- Hello Mrs. Glossop.
- Oh hello Mr. Fitzgerald.

Well, well, well.
All ready for graduation day?

Oh hello Egbert.

Oh no, it can't, Oh, it is, it's a stowaway.

I thought you might forget
something so I came down to help you.

So good of you, yes, yes.

Now Mrs. Glossop...

before you register I'm very anxious
to have just a few last words with you.

- Last words?
- Yes, if you don't mind, right here.

Thank you. Now...

- Now...
- Oh Egbert.

Pardon.

Now...

I have come to the conclusion that at all to
expedite matters it will be necessary for...

someone to discover you
with someone other than your husband.

Just as a matter of form, of course.

Oh Hortense, I don't think
I can go through with this.

Now, don't be silly, get it over with.
Think of Cyril Glossop, think hard.

I knew that would do it.

Good. Now, the young man is on his way here.

You understand of course that it wouldn't be
technically correct for me to introduce you.

Therefore, he will present himself to you.

Oh then, we'll need a password.
It's too mysterious and wonderful.

Well, I have the password, I have it.

The young man will say to you,
chance is the fool's name for fate.

Shakespeare?

Nothing of the kind.
It's a little thing of my own.

Chance is the fool's name for fate.

Good. That's just it, yes.

Now, it will be necessary
for you to have a name.

A name, of course, yes.
So your name will be Mrs. Green.

Green, I do adore green.

And you know, the oculists say
it's very soothing to the eye.

Oh Egbert, are you coming with us?

Why, Hortense. Oh my, no.
You can't remain with her.

This is supposed to be a clandestine affair.

You can't have a clandestine
affair between three people.

Oh, that's what you say.

By, by any chance, are you Mr. Tonetti?

Io sono arrivato, Io sono pronto,
Rudolfo Tonetti at your service.

Yes. Well, I am Mr. Fitzgerald.

Mr. Fitzgerald? Oh, I am delightful.

I shouldn't doubt it
old man, I shouldn't doubt it.

But don't you think that a
corespondent ought to come to work quietly?

Let's have more repose and less Rigoletto.

I am ready for action
and I will do a first class job.

Well, don't be too determined about it.

Remember, the lady in question is very
sensitive and you must treat her accordingly.

Bene, whichever way the wind,
she is blowing, that is the way I sail.

- Yes. Well, sit down.
- Pard me, your, your tea sir.

Your life Mr. Tonetti
must be full of excitement.

Full of excitement and full of danger.

- Oh, yes, of course, from the husbands.
- No, from the ladies.

- Oh, how interesting.
- But Tonetti, he know what to do.

Yes, sometimes the lady
and I have the conversations...

sometimes I play the concertina,
sometimes I play the solitaire...

but mostly I practice my singing.

At home, my wife she do not like me to sing.

Unquestionably a woman of great perspicacity.

You bet.

You're absolutely sure
Mr. Tonetti that my client will be safe?

Oh signor, with me strictly business.

My slogan, your wife is safe
with Tonetti, he prefer spaghetti.

Now, listen.

- I'll give you the password.
- Yes.

When you see the
lady you must go to her and say...

chance is the fool's name for fate.

- Chance is the foolish name...
- For fate.

The fool's name for fate.

Oh yes. Well, tell me please, what she mean?

Well, you have to have some
method. You have to, when you, who?

Oh, never mind, never
mind what it means, just say it.

- Yes.
- Now Tonetti, remember...

I want delicacy, tact, assurance, finesse.

I have brought everything.

And now, and now, con permesso,
I go inside to make the telephone call...

to tell my wife I am safely arrive.

Arrivederci.

Fate is no fooling, no.

Chances are a foolish. Oh, scusi please.

Taking the name of a foolish...

Pardon ma'am, can I be of service?

I doubt it.

Let me have the menu,
I'm waiting for my niece.

What have you?

Crumpets ma'am.

Oh, that's too bad, isn't it.
Does it run in the family?

Begging your pardon
ma'am but that's very whumsical.

What?

Very whumsical ma'am.
You know, like Sir James Barrie.

- You mean whimsical, don't you?
- In a manner of speaking, yes ma'am.

Why not whamsical then?

Pardon ma'am, whumsical is
much more whimsical than whamsical.

You know, you're beginning to
fascinate me and I resent that in any man.

I'm sorry.

Oh, hello darling, I was just going to order.

- I really can't eat a thing.
- But you must eat.

After all, you can't have
a divorce on an empty stomach.

What's the matter?

You look as though you seen your husband.

It's Guy Holden, the man I told you about.

What you suppose to have you done?
Sent out invitations for this affair?

Oh, I didn't know he was here.
Oh, he mustn't see me.

Mimi. Mimi.

Mimi.

I've been chasing after
you, you mustn't run like that.

- Why not?
- It's bad for my health.

What are you doing here?

- Same as you.
- What?

I came down here
looking for pieces of my heart.

Oh no. Mimi, you know what I've been doing?

Thinking of you, longing for you, waiting to
hear from you. I haven't left my telephone.

Well, as I remember it,
you gave me a London number.

Well, I had to come down here just overnight.

A little business.

Oh yes, I saw quite a few of them
in bathing suits this afternoon.

Oh no Mimi, nothing like that.

Oh, why didn't you at least
just leave some message for me?

- I did.
- You did?

But they said that you've left London.

- Mimi, you did call, that's wonderful.
- I'd better leave now.

Oh, please don't go,
it's going to be grand here.

They're having a Gala night on the esplanade.

It's usually pretty terrible.

I know, but just think what
it'll mean to miss seeing it.

It's worthwhile
staying down here just to miss it.

- Please don't ask me to stay.
- All right, I won't.

Don't go, I've so many things to say to you.

Cigarette?

I still don't know
what you're doing down here.

I came down with my aunt.

Isn't that a coincidence.
I'm here with my aunt too, aunt Egbert.

Egbert?

Yes, Egbert Fitzgerald, lawyer friend
of mine, we're down here on a case.

Aren't you ever going to
stop running away from me?

When two people are destined to come together
as we are, there's no use in struggling..

Do you believe in that kind of destiny?

Of course I do, in these things
there's no such a thing as chance.

Chance is the fool's name for fate.

You? You?

Me?

- Why yes, of course it is.
- So you're the man I've been waiting for.

None other.

I'll be waiting for you
in my room, 216, at midnight.

My dear, it's 12 o'clock.
I feel just like New Year's Eve.

Good luck to you.

Oh don't leave me, I can't bear to face him.

He seems so different.

Oh, there's nothing different
about any of them except the neckties.

Him, of all people.

Well, aren't you even astonished?

Me? Astonished? I haven't
been astonished since I was 8.

And mind you, I wasn't
precocious just moderately intelligent.

I'll give him the most miserable
night of his entire business career.

A locked door between us.

You seem to be going to a
lot of trouble for a man you hate.

Could anything be more degrading?

Well, after all, my dear a corespondent
must be something of an artist.

He, he has to have a sense of balance,
you know. Rather like a mountain goat.

Well, I think I'll look up Egbert, the
poor darling must be lost without me.

Oh, you needn't run away.
I knew you were coming here.

- You knew?
- Of course, I'm Mimi's aunt.

I know, but I have relatives myself.

- This isn't exactly old home week, is it?
- Well, nothing is ever done without me.

- You're not planning to be there.
- Well, of course not.

Oh, just a moment please, you see...

I don't know Mimi very well, I wish you
please tell me something about her.

Well, I'll let her tell you.
After all, if she has to keep you here...

she'll want something
to talk about, won't she?

- Keep me here?
- Well, she has to.

- Say, which one of us is crazy?
- Oh well, it's not me.

You know, all of
this is a bit of a shock to me.

Well, your being here
is a bit of a shock to Mimi too.

Yes, but it's, it's Mimi's own doing.

Well, I think it's much better
to have this settled now, at once.

And then the poor girl can start a new life.

A new life?

Brand new, she's going
to make a clean sweep of the old.

- I see.
- Yes, yes and you're the broom.

I'll be right out.

I'm sorry I kept you waiting.

Mimi.

Mimi, there's something I
want to get straight in my mind.

Yes?

At first you were so shy and so reserved...

- and then this evening you were...
- Well, what was I?

- Lovely.
- Was I?

- Yes, but that's not what I'm trying to say.
- Well, what are you trying to say?

Well, I'm trying
to describe the shock, see...

Well, that negligee is charming, charming.

- From Paris, isn't it?
- You ought to know.

You've probably seen plenty of them.

- Well, a few, of course.
- Of course.

Oh, but never one like that.

- Oh, Mimi...
- Stay where you are.

What?

Keep away from me.

Now, will you please keep your distance
and I'll keep mine, I want you to sit there.

What's the matter with it?

Now, we're going through
with this in a dignified silence.

I really prefer it.

Warm, isn't it?

Do you mind if I recite capitals?

What?

Capitals of states,
North Dakota, Bismarck. Wyoming, Cheyenne.

Ohio, Columbus.
It's lots of fun. I used to do it as a boy.

I don't care what you did as a boy.

Oh, I did nothing as a girl
so there goes my childhood.

- Oh, Mimi...
- Keep your place.

Oh, scusi, one moment please.

Give me a name for chance and I am a fool.

- Captain, Captain.
- Oh, maybe I'm a mistake.

Signora.

Fate is a foolish thing to take chances with.

So are you.

Oh scusi, you are not the lady.

- Stay where you are.
- Oh, Mimi I...

I mean to say, I, I thought that after the
few lovely moments we had together that...

How can you have the
impudence to speak of that now?

But I suppose it's just
the callousness of your kind.

- My kind?
- Don't think you fooled me for a moment.

I knew what you were all along.
I knew how you made your living.

Oh, I'll admit I'm not proud of it,
but I hope to do better someday.

And in the meantime
it does bring me in a decent income.

Some people will do anything for money.

Oh, it's not as bad as all that. After all,
I do bring pleasure to thousands of people.

Thousands?

Yes, tens of thousands.

I bring romance to tens of
thousands of shop girls, servant girls,

- stenographers.
- You might spare me Mr. Bluebeard.

Oh, Mimi, if I would...

- Are you expecting someone?
- Why, of course, but not till morning.

- Who is it?
- Hortense.

I better get out of here.

I have something very,
very important to tell you.

Oh, dear, if I only
could remember what it was.

- It was something about that man.
- What man?

Oh yes. Are you sure you have the right one?

Well, he gave me the password.

Well, I met a man downstairs and he said fate
is a foolish thing to take chances with.

So I said, so are you.
Then he said, you're not the lady.

Maybe he said, you're not a lady.

I don't know, my darling.
I was so upset I can't be sure.

Oh, wouldn't it be too
awful if I made a mistake?

Go and ask him.

But I'll have to confess
that I'm married and why I'm here.

Well, don't ask him then
but find out everything you can.

But until I'm sure,
well, how shall I treat him?

I don't know. Be feminine
and sweet, if you can blend the two.

I really must go and find Egbert
again and tell him all about this.

You don't think Egbert
is hiding from me, do you?

- May I run along now?
- Must you go just yet?

Won't you come in and sit down for a while?

I didn't do so well in here.

Well, of course,
if you rather stay out there.

Guy, do you think it was fair not
to tell me something of your work?

Well, I've been trying to forget about it.

Well, how did you get started in your career?

Oh, I was started by
a very well known actress.

And the thousands
and thousands came later, I see.

Oh well, in a way yes, you see, she
encouraged me from my very first step.

- Very first step?
- Yes.

Dance step, I'm a dancer by
profession, you knew that, of course.

You mind?

Why no. No, I'm glad. I'm glad.

You know, you're the most
emotionally unstable girl I've ever met.

Scusi lady. I am fate to
take foolish chances with.

Tonetti?

Tonetti.

I cannot find the lady. I give everywhere
the passwords and everywhere I get the slaps.

Oh, I don't. Oh, by Jove.
I forgot to tell you the lady's name.

It's Mrs. Green, she's in room 216.

Oh, Si, Si, signore, scusi.

And listen, no more prowling
around this hotel like a hyena.

And be sure the lady doesn't
leave her room before morning.

Tonetti, he stays, do and die,
until the detective, she arrive.

That's right, and when the detectives get...
Oh my word, I forgot all about the detectives.

Detectives or no detectives,
Tonetti, he gets paid. Tonetti, I am here.

Well, I'll rush up to London.

Yes and I'll bring the
detectives first thing in the morning.

Oh, dear.

- Egbert.
- Detectives, what?

Where were you going?

Why? I'm, no. I was
just thinking, I was looking for you.

Yes and I've been looking for you.
I've something very important to tell you.

- But not now, I got to rush to London.
- No, but I must tell you now.

Yes, well, what is it?
What is it? What is it?

Well, that's just it.
I can't remember what it is.

Egbert, you're so tempestuous.
You drive everything right out of my head.

I'm sorry, but I can't wait.

- Well, I'll, I'll go to London with you.
- What?

And maybe it will come back
to me by the time we get there.

Besides, you mustn't ride alone at night.

I'll bet you say that to every man you marry.

- Oh, Egbert.
- Oh well, come along dear, come along.

- Aren't the shadows on the sand lovely?
- Yes they are, lovely.

And the light on the water.

The edge of the cloud crossing the moon.

Look, it's coming out.

Look Guy, it's coming out.

It came out.

Oh, isn't it beautiful?

It's a honey.

I wonder what causes that peculiar effect.

That's what I'm trying to figure out.

Mimi, who is that man
that just went into your room?

Man?

I saw a weird looking individual go in there.

How many men did you invite here tonight?

Mimi, are you married?

- What?
- Is it your husband?

- Husband?
- Yes, husb...

- Oh, scusi, please, scusi.
- What are you doing here?

Chances are that fate is foolish.

Will you please stay here just a minute?

- It's, it's no one.
- No one?

Mimi, who is it? What's he doing here?

Well he, he's here on business.

Business?

- Oh, let's go back and look at the moon.
- Not until I throw him out.

Oh, no, no, no. You mustn't. Oh, you can't.

Well, then please tell me who he is.

Well, he...

- I am married.
- You married?

To a geologist.

Oh then, then it is your husband.

Oh, no, no, you see, I'm not really
married. That is, I won't be very long.

I'm getting a divorce right away
and he's here to help me get it.

Wait a minute.

Mimi, are you the women whose
divorce Egbert Fitzgerald is handling?

And you thought I was your corespondent?

Oh, but now how could you
possibly think a thing like that?

- Well, you said the right words.
- What right words?

Oh, scusi, please, scusi.

Fate is the foolish thing, take a chance.

Are you the corespondent?

Rudolfo Tonetti, at your service.

- You are no longer needed.
- What?

I am taking your place.

Are you a union man?

- Are you hired by Mr. Egbert too?
- Oh, Mr. Tonetti, you don't understand.

This gentleman isn't here to take
your place, he isn't going to stay.

- How do you do need me signora.
- Nothing of the kind, you're intruding.

- Get out of here, will you?
- But, Guy...

Think I'm going to leave you with
a strange Italian? He might be a tenor.

Si, Si, signore, listen.

I was wrong.

- I'm going to throw him out.
- Oh, but Guy.

But I have a contract and I sue for damages.

First for my ear, second for my honor

- and third...
- Quiet please, both of you.

This is my affair, I'm, I'm here
for a divorce and Mr. Tonetti must stay.

Well, if he stays, I stay.
I feel crowded but that's life.

Scusi, at last my call, she come.
Scusi, please. I answer.

Hello? Oh, hello, hello, Maria.

Six times I call you and you are busy.

Gives always, buz, buz, buz.
Yes, the busy signal.

Yes, yes, I'm all right.

No, blond.

Just a blond.

Scusi signora, but I talk to the wife.
She want to know all about the lady.

Yes.

Yes, kiss the kiddies for me.

What?

What? Maria.

Maria, who is that speaking to you?

What?

No, no da vero, non e posibile.

What you think?

My little son Rodolfo only 9 years old
and already his voice is changing.

Good night, sweetheart.

You stay, you do not stay.
Tonetti does not care.

But no monkey business.

And the lady must not leave
the room while Tonetti is on the case.

You mean we're prisoners?

Come on, you don't think I'm going
to take the lady away from you?

- I will see that you do not.
- That's awfully nice of you.

Oh, scusi, maybe you like to
play some three handed bridge?

- No, thank you.
- No?

Not a bit.

All right, then I go inside
and play some solitaire.

And please remember not to leave, I watch.

- Guy, I don't want to drag you into this.
- Oh, but I want to be in it, from now on.

You know, I don't think it's going to be
so bad being to kept you prisoner here.

Hello, hello.

That doesn't sound
like the prisoners' song to me.

It's not a bad tune, what is it?

The newest thing
here, called the Continental.

The Continental?

I like it.

It's the second thing I found
I'd like to take back home with me.

- What is it?
- An idea, an idea.

Is this one of those?

I think I know how we can get out of here
without our friend Tonetti missing us.

This is something I used to do as a boy.

- I don't care what you did as a boy.
- What you did as a boy, I know.

This might work.

Look, you got me cutting out paper dolls.

Oh, I see. Well, I'll go change.

- Now, why did you do this?
- I wanted to be sure of you.

Oh, signore.

- Who is this?
- How do I know? This isn't my racket.

- You've been through these things before.
- Oh I know, but you upset my entire routine.

- Find out who it is.
- Yes.

- Who is it?
- It's the waiter sir.

- It's the waiter.
- Ask him what he wants.

- What you want?
- Breakfast.

Breakfast, what shall we do?

Give him his breakfast. No, wait a minute.

- Oh Mimi. Oh Mimi.
- Yes?

Ah, there's a waiter out here
who says he wants breakfast.

What?

Well, that's what he says,
the poor fellow may be hungry.

Clown, that's our
breakfast, I just ordered it.

- That's our breakfast Tonetti.
- I open it.

- Good morning.
- Good morning.

- Good morning.
- Good morning.

- You rest comfortably?
- Oh yes, indeed.

- Put that right here.
- Yes. May I?

Mr. Tonetti, you sit there.

And Guy, you sit there.

You know, I'd like to have
breakfast with you every morning.

Yes? Thank you.

I hope you'd like what I ordered.

You know, I've never had
breakfast with two gentlemen before.

I've tried it, it's no fun.

Now, now, when the detectives
arrive we must be very careful.

Oh, I hope they don't arrive too soon.

I've grown to like both of you tremendously.

It's so sweet.

- Oh Guy, Guy, you better hide.
- Let Tonetti hide.

She's right, you'll ruin all, go.

Guy please, you
want me to be free, don't you?

Alright, I'll hide, but
please call if you need me.

Yes, yes, go ahead.

- No, not over here.
- Where?

Over there, anywhere, just stay...

Coffee ma'am.

I thought it best to keep it hot for you.

- Guy.
- Yes dear.

It's all right, it's just
the waiter with the coffee.

Waiter, the next time you knock, let's have
some sort of signal, like this, will you?

I can't be dashing in and
out of here coffee or no coffee.

Oh I see, you want a
knock each time, I understand.

Tell me, the gentleman in
this case is a scientist, is he not?

A very distinguished
scientist in his own field.

A fossil among fossils, a geologist.

- Oh, pardon, are you discussing geology?
- Always and again.

If you'll excuse me sir,
I have an unnatural passion for rocks.

Well, you ought to be ashamed of yourself.

Oh no sir,
it's a wonderful thing, geology sir.

You know sir, geologically speaking,
this little island of Great Britain is...

500 million and 3 and one-half years old?

How do you know it's exactly that old?

Professor Brown told me it was 500 million
years old when I first met him that was...

was three and a half years ago.

- Who's that?
- Professor Brown.

- Professor Brown?
- He's a geologist.

Him and his wife stopped
at the last place I worked.

You know sir, it was Professor Brown who
told me that this seacoast around here...

is really an igneous intrusion?

You know, you're somewhat
of an igneous intrusion yourself.

Oh, thank you sir.

No to return the facts...

Is that the way you want me to knock sir?

- Yes thank you, thank you.
- Thank you.

I see, thank you very much.

Oh, what a day is this going to be.

- Well, Mrs. Glossop.
- Hello, Egbert.

Quiet please.
Oh Guy, what are you doing here?

Oh Egbert, that's what I've been
trying to remember to tell you about.

- Oh, was it?
- Yes.

This is my Mimi.

Oh really? Well, this is my finish.

- Tonetti, if you have bungled this job...
- But no, scusi, signor, please, scusi.

Guy, you got to get out of here.
You're just messing up the whole thing.

- You've brought the detectives?
- Better than that.

Oh, I pulled a supreme coup, a masterpiece.

I'll bet this will be good.

I have brought Mr. Glossop.

- My husband?
- Yes.

- The husband?
- The husband is coming.

Stop, Guy shut up,
you got to get out of here.

- No more hiding.
- Oh please Guy, you promised.

All right, I'll hide.

But please call if you need me.

- Call anyhow.
- Yes, I will.

Mimi, it was my idea to have your
husband here, wasn't it clever of me?

Oh, Hortense, why did you do that?
Something terrible is liable to happen.

Courage, courage, I don't think he'll sh**t.

sh**t? Is somebody going
to sh**t? Let's wait for the sh**ting.

sh**t? Mr. Egbert, never, never I've had
to come in contact with a husband before.

I don't think it's fair to ask me to do so
now. Look, where are the detectives?

Look, I demand the
detectives, it's in my contract.

I'm sorry old man, I can't do anything about
that now, he's probably on his way up here.

Do something, do something, look amorous.
Look amorous, Tonetti look amorous.

- Hortense look, never mind. Come on.
- Yes Egbert.

Well, this is too much for Tonetti.

Oh, quick, quick, what shall we do?

Well, Mr. Egbert said try
to look amorous, see, like this...

Oh, you just look sick.

Well, let's try this.

Come in.

Pardon madam, I hope I knocked the right way.

- Now you spoiled everything.
- I'm sorry sir, I came for the dishes.

Oh well, the dishes can wait.

- Can't we do something with him?
- Yes here, go quickly there please..

Yes, hide him.

- In the bedroom?
- Yes, yes, hurry, hurry.

- Yes, hurry.
- Oh no sir, please...

- Hi waiter.
- How do you do sir?

- You hiding too?
- Yes sir, they shoved me in here either.

Now, once more.

Come in.

Oh, Cyril...

Who is this fellow?

This is my husband.

Oh, how do you do? I'm so very pleased.

You haven't answered my question.

I must confess, he's my...

This object?

No, I don't believe it.
My dear child, he's nothing to you.

He has all the earmarks
of a hired corespondent.

That is not true. She love me and I love she.

Mimi, you amuse me.
I never believe it with him.

This, this hairdresser?

Guy, Guy.

I'm sorry to ask you
to do this, but will you kiss me?

I'm not sorry.

Bravo, bravissimo.

And who pray is this new Lothario?

After the divorce, we're going to be married.

What divorce?

Why, aren't you going to divorce me?

Why no my dear, I'm going to forgive you.

Forgive her.

Enough of this nonsense.

Now Mimi, you pack up your
things and come home at once.

At once I tell you. Why, you're
just a little lamb who's strayed.

And you sir, are
just an ineffectual little puppy.

At last, I got my chance
to throw somebody out.

Oh, no, no Guy, you mustn't, please.

Pard me ma'am.
May I go now? I got my work to do.

- Yes, yes, go ahead.
- Why, how you do, Professor Brown?

Professor Brown?

Well, how are you professor,
if you don't mind my asking?

Oh, is this your dear
old friend, the rock thrower?

Yes sir, that's him.

That's ridiculous., he doesn't
know what he's talking about.

- I never saw this man in my life.
- Oh, come professor.

Don't you remember all those sheer little
chats we used to have about rocks?

You and me and, and your wife?

No, I do not.

And would you know the
professor's wife if you saw her?

Why, of course I would sir.

Am I Mrs. Brown?

No ma'am, you're Mrs. Green.

Well, strike me pink.

You see, Mrs. Brown, she was French.
She couldn't speak a word of English.

Why, Buster Brown,
this is most unfossilish of you sir.

I got to catch a train.

- Let me pass sir.
- I will not sir.

- Let me pass I say.
- Never sir.

Well, well, what happened? Did it work?

Did it work? Meet the future Mrs. Holden.

Oh now. Oh, I told you, I told you.
Father will be so proud of me.

- Egbert and I are going to be married too.
- Yes.

Why darling, why, what's the mat...?

We were married last night,
on our way back from London.

Last night? Were we?

Why, of course sir, we were.
Darling I forgotten about it.

Isn't it wonderful?
I'll tell you what we'll do.

We all hurry back to
London and have a big celebration.

Oh, scusi, scusi, I'm
also very good at parties.
