Beauty and the Boss Page #6

And what a beautiful white shoulder.

I'd love to kiss it just once. May I?

Why not. The Count has already

kissed the left shoulder.

Oh, he has?

Well, we mustn't let the

right one grow jealous.

Susie, you are adorable.

I'm going to live every second

of this wonderful evening.

To dance and sing and be happy.

Oh there is a magic in this Paris.

It's gone to my head.

You little siren.

Am I really a siren?

Oh, I'd rather be called a siren

than anything else on earth.

Well get your cloak. We'll start out.

Alright.

First I must give a

message to the Baron.

You wait in the lounge and

I'll join you in a moment.

Don't be long.

I won't. You are a pair of dears

and I'm in love with you both.

There is safety in numbers.

Hurry up little girl.

Have one drink at the bar and

one cigarette. And I'll appear.

Now don't forget, Susie.

We shall be waiting for you.

I promise you I won't.

Baron. Will you accept my apologies

for the way I acted a little while ago?

Yes, of course. Just forget about it.

I can't expect you to be

entirely without temperament.

After all, you're a woman.

I wonder if you don't

forget that sometimes.

What?

Well, is that the new evening gown?

Yes. Do you like it?

Why, it's very attractive .. very.

How it changes you.

The back of our neck is

delightful. So young.

Your curls are enticing.

Your pretty, round little arms.

I never noticed them.

They've always been

covered up by my cuffs.

Do they feel as smooth as they look?

I don't know.

I wonder.

Yes. They're even smoother.

I'm glad you weren't disappointed.

You .. you haven't gone out yet?

No. I haven't gone out yet.

But you are going?

Yes. With the Count and your brother.

Really?

They will show me Paris tonight.

Susie .. come here.

I'll show you Paris.

She's beautiful in the moonlight.

There is the opera.

And over there in the distance.

Is the river.

And those two tall towers?

The church of Notre Dame.

Oh, that's where the hunchback lives.

Yes.

There is the park.

It's full of lovers.

Paris is singing, isn't it.

What does the city sing about?

On a night like this,

it must be a love song.

That's really the only

kind worth singing.

Why, Susie .. but you are right.

What delicious scent.

Is it yours this time?

Yes. Do you like it?

It's intoxicating.

And so are you.

You're so bright and sweet.

Your skin is like satin.

Perhaps I should put on my cuffs.

It's too late for cuffs.

What's that building over there?

Oh, Susie.

- Pardon me, it was an accident.

Don't you apologize. It was delightful.

Tell me some more about Paris.

Oh yes. It's Paris.

Well .. over there you can see.

Oh Susie, dear.

Oh no, you mustn't.

You darling.

Did you really mean that?

I'll show you whether I ..

You frighten me. Let me go.

What's the matter? There

is nothing to be afraid of.

But I didn't mean it. Let me go.

No, you don't understand.

I'm so ashamed.

Why should you be ashamed?

You haven't done anything.

Oh yes I have. It was my fault.

I'm to blame for it all.

All of what?

You mean my taking you in my

arms and making love to you?

Yes. I did all the things she said

and you gave all the answers.

She? What "she"?

- Olive.

She said I was just like a machine

and no man would ever notice me.

So I tried it just like

she said she does.

I leaned against you

accidentally, twice.

I protested, I got limp, I got dizzy.

I closed my eyes. I almost got kissed.

I want that kiss and I'm going

to have it. I'm mad about you.

Susie, do you know you are enough

to drive a man out of his senses?

That's just woman-hunger. And any soft,

sweet-smelling female could satisfy.

You never thought of me as a

woman until I made you do it.

Women always open men's eyes.

Well, I won't.

I'm not satisfied to sneak into

a man's arms and be kissed.

Just because I happen to be there.

That's too easy for him.

I want a man to climb

mountains to get me.

I want him to pass all the other women

and kick down the door, just to kiss me.

You're wonderful.

When I love a man he must ache

and long and burn for me.

He must be hungry and thirsty forever

unless I come along. I, Susie Sachs.

No other woman on earth must do.

That's the sort of love I want.

I'll show you.

Were you dictating?

Why, no.

Susie and I were just

playing a new game.

That's not a new game.

I should say not.

I've played it many times.

What's going on here?

Just a little research work.

Come Susie. We're waiting for you.

I think I'll go out with you. May I?

We'd love to have you.

I'm afraid you're forgetting your very

special rendezvous at 9 o'clock.

Yes, I'm not keeping that

rendezvous. Ludwig!

You're not?

No.

Call up room 15. Say Baron Von Ullrich

regrets he must cancel his appointment.

Very good, sir.

Then you won't mind that I didn't send

the orchids and gardenias you ordered?

You didn't obey my instructions?

You see, you have changed your mind.

A good secretary always anticipates

the thoughts of her employer.

Come along Joseph. Let's get going.

Yes, Joseph. Hurry.

I'm afraid we shan't have the pleasure

of the Baron's company tonight.

He has a number of other appointments.

Other appointments?

Yes, Excellency. These gentlemen.

Why, who made all these appointments?

I did. I followed your instructions.

You said make it easy for people to see

you. Not shut you off from the world.

May I, Paul? My secretary.

Oh, yes.

Thank you, Baron. It's too

bad you can't come with us.

I'm sure we'll have a marvelous evening.

You deserve a good shaking.

I have two wonderful cavaliers.

We're going to dine and

dance and drink champagne.

You're not really going out

and leaving me here?

Perhaps as all of Paris

is singing a love-song.

One of my cavaliers will

make a little love to me.

You know what I'd like to you?

Too bad you have to

work tonight, Joseph.

Yes, isn't it?

We'll miss you.

Goodbye, Baron. I hope you'll

enjoy all your appointments.

You'll have so many, you'll never miss

the squeak of the little church mouse.

The church mouse doesn't

squeak anymore. It meows.

Ho, jolly, jolly ho!

Muchacha. Hey, hey!

You're the most charming

church mouse in the world.

No. To the church mouse

who turned into a butterfly.

Susie.

Do you look upon me as an old man?

Well, you'd never be old

even if you were a hundred.

Well, I shan't be that

for a day or two yet.

Waiter, some champagne.

Shall we dance?

Certainly. I hope you don't think

I came here just for pleasure.

[ Telephone ]

Hello?

Hello, darling. It's Mimi.

I just had to call you up.

I bet you don't know where I am.

I'm in the bathtub.

You hear me splash?

Go splash in the lake.

Susie, you're a darling.

I'm mad about you.

Give me a kiss.

If you catch me.

That's a bet.

Hey, Susie. Susie!

Hey, Susie!

Hey, Susie. Susie. Susie.

[ Buzzer ]

Come in.

Surprised to see me?

Yes, rather.

I came to bring back your

little remembrance.

Why .. weren't they?

Weren't they beautiful?
