An Affair to Remember Page #4

Well, now, for you.

For me? Thank you.

For you.

Thank you.

For me.

Well, now...

I should like to propose a little toast.

I don't quite know

how to phrase it.

Well, would it have something

to do with his happy marriage?

JANOU:
Mmm.

Shall we say,

may your voyage home

be a pleasant one.

Thank you.

(CLEARS THROAT)

(SHIP HORN BLOWING)

Well, now, I'm afraid

we must be leaving soon.

(CHUCKLES)

It has been

a good day.

Now, before we go, you

must play the piano for us.

(LAUGHING) Oh, no, Nicolo. Come along.

No, no, no.

Please do.

Look at my hands.

No excuses.

Come along.

Come on.

Oh. (CHUCKLES)

Janou was

a concert pianist.

Was.

Remember,

I was asked to do this.

(TERRY STOPS SINGING)

I don't like

boat whistles.

(CHUCKLES)

Don't you think you should

put this around your shoulders?

Thank you,

my dear.

It's lovely,

isn't it?

You like it?

Yes, I do.

One day,

I will send it to you.

Oh, no.

I would like to.

This is as far

as I go.

This is the boundary

of my small world.

Hmm.

(SIGHS)

It's a perfect world.

Thank you for

letting me trespass.

Good-bye.

Bless you.

Well, au revoir,

dear Janou.

I'll come back to see you

very soon and I'll write often.

Please do.

I will.

Oh! Happy thoughts,

darling.

Adieu, mon petit.

(CHUCKLES)

Good-bye.

Good-bye.

(SHIP HORN BLOWS)

I've been looking

everywhere for you.

I called your cabin...

You've been crying.

Mmm-hmm.

Beauty does that to me.

Nickie, I want to

thank you for the...

The loveliest and the most

memorable day I've ever known.

You were very sweet

to my little grandmother.

I'm going to

write to her.

That'll be nice.

Let's walk, hmm?

(SNIFFLES)

No more tears.

I told you that's what

beauty does to me.

We're heading into

a rough sea, Nickie.

I know.

We changed

our course today.

Mmm-hmm.

Shall I see you

to your cabin?

I don't think so.

Good night.

Good night.

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

Just a moment.

Terry...

Oh!

Why did you come here?

You know it's dangerous.

Darling, we've got

a lot to talk about.

I am aware of that,

but to be seen together

could be disastrous

for us both.

I know, but we have

some fast thinking to do.

We've created

a problem.

Yes, I know.

So let's not

complicate it any more.

Being a woman, I'm

naturally more cautious

and I can think more clearly

when you're not around.

So you go think in your

room and I'll think in mine.

All right.

While we miss

each other.

Oh, that was very sweet,

what you just said.

(SIGHS)

(IN IRISH ACCENT) Top

of the mornin' to you.

And the rest of

the day to you.

No, listen. What?

No, no.

Keep moving.

Oh, dear.

Wait a minute.

Don't go away.

Now, have you come

to any conclusions yet?

No, keep moving.

Oh, dear.

I miss you.

I miss you, too.

Why don't you

telephone more often?

I'll try,

but you know...

Were you going

to say something?

No, I wasn't going to say anything. Oh.

Listen. Couldn't we

at least eat together,

you know, in your room or my room?

The news would be all around the

ship before we'd had our salad.

I know.

The crew talks, too,

you know.

Do go around the other way.

You're making me dizzy.

Yeah, be better for me

also, I can tell you that.

Oh, wait a minute.

Darling...

Listen, darling, I...

That's odd.

(NERVOUS CHUCKLE)

Well...

Good evening, sir.

Good evening.

Is Miss McKay dining?

Yes, sir. Would you care to join her?

No, I think she prefers

to dine alone.

She's almost finished, sir. Yes.

Whew.

Order the bouillabaisse.

It's superb.

(BOTH SPEAKING FRENCH)

Shut up.

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

Come in.

Hello there.

Oh, hello,

Mr. Hathaway.

Miss McKay,

where's Ferrante?

Ferra...

Well, how should I know?

Oh, come now. A little bird

told me he might be in here.

Oh, really,

Mr. Hathaway.

Don't you think you're being

a little rude and presumptuous?

I haven't seen

Mr. Ferrante since...

Hello, Terry.

(EXCLAIMS)

It occurred to me you

might like this book.

Yeah.

I've read it.

I haven't seen you

for days.

I thought you must have

got off somewhere.

Why, no. We haven't

docked anywhere.

(LAUGHING)

Well, in case I don't see you

again, Miss McKay, happy landing.

Thank you, Mr. Ferrante, and don't

think it hasn't been absolute...

Now, slow down.

I'm wondering if you two

would do me a big favor.

What's that?

Would you be so kind

as to autograph these?

My wife and my sister and I

each bought a different one.

You bought them?

From whom?

Why, the ship's

photographer.

He has a big display up

on the promenade deck.

He's doing

a wholesale business.

Well, I'll tell you,

Mr. Hathaway,

we'll have to

think about it.

Now, where could

I find you?

Well, I'll either be

in the cocktail lounge,

or, of course,

the dining room.

Yes, of course.

(LAUGHING)

(MOCK LAUGHTER)

Well...

Oh!

FERRANTE:
Oh, I don't mind

that one. That's pretty good.

TERRY:

Oh, do be serious!

This is dreadful!

And after all the pains

we took deceiving everybody.

I'm particularly sorry for you. (SIGHS)

You know, I'm not as

sorry as I thought I'd be.

(CHUCKLES)

It was rather silly, hiding

like fugitives, wasn't it?

Yes. Yes, I know.

So, to coin a new clich,

shall we join the others?

Well, all right.

Well, why not?

What have we got

to lose?

The last night. Let's

make the most of it.

Good.

(BAND PLAYING

YOU MAKE IT EASY TO BE TRUE)

Hi, Hathaway.

(LAUGHING) Hey! Do me another

favor. Let's swap partners.

It's the last night out,

you know? Everybody does it.

They do? How nice.

In your case,

we'll make an exception.

(BAND SINGING)

I don't get that guy.

BOTH:
(SINGING)

Day by day I'm growing fonder

Of those

tender things you do

Oh, nice crossing.

Hello.

Let's get some air.

Yeah, come on. I'll show you the rudder.

Where is it?

Aft.

Got to get my coat.

Careful.

ALL:
(SINGING)

May sometimes try to lure me

(HUMMING MELODY)

(BOTH CHUCKLING)

(SINGING) Can't you think of

something spiteful

Something mean

that you could do

Must you be

so darn delightful

BOTH:
You make it easy

to be true

(LAUGHS)

Oh.

Why can't we go on

doing this forever, huh?

I had a talk with the

captain. It won't work.

It won't?

No.

He said he can't

turn the ship around.

Quite nice about it,

but he said

that most of the people

want to get home.

Isn't that silly?

Mmm-hmm.

Well, I can understand

his problem.

Cruising around in the ocean

with just the two of us.

(LAUGHING)

(BOTH HUMMING)

(SINGING) You make it easy

to be true

(BAND PLAYING

AULD LANG SYNE)

ALL:
(SINGING) Be forgot

And never brought

to mind

Should old acquaintance

be forgot

And days

of old lang syne

If you say, "A penny for your

thoughts," I'll jump overboard.

Well...
