Christmas in Connecticut Page #11

Synopsis: Journalist Elizabeth Lane is one of the country's most famous food writers. In her columns, she describes herself as a hard working farm woman, taking care of her children and being an excellent cook. But this is all lies. In reality she is an unmarried New Yorker who can't even boil an egg. The recipes come from her good friend Felix. The owner of the magazine she works for has decided that a heroic sailor will spend his Christmas on *her* farm. Miss Lane knows that her career is over if the truth comes out, but what can she do?

- Now, don't you come near me.

- You attract me, remember?

- Well, you forget, I...

- Oh, no, I don't.

You're a married woman,

but you don't feel like one.

- It's not fair.

- There are rules to this game, are there?

- You must teach me.

- Well, men who are engaged must...

- Play the game.

- Yes.

Well, let's play.

Well...

- They've stopped talking.

- That's good.

Have you noticed

the even temperature in this room?

That's the triple-wall insulation.

- Oh, shut up.

- Yes.

- Excuse me.

- Good heavens.

- It's just little me.

- I forget all about you.

Your breakfast is in the kitchen.

Won't you join us and wait?

- What are you waiting for?

- Only Uncle Felix knows.

Well, I'm powerful hungry.

- I'll show you where the kitchen is.

- Thank you.

What...? What...?

Don't you come near me, you sea wolf.

- After the way you've deceived me.

- I deceived you?

- You're engaged.

- You're married.

- That has nothing to do with it.

- Nor has my engagement.

- If you take another step, I'll scream.

- Go ahead. Scream the house down.

Perhaps your husband

will come to your rescue.

I haven't got a husband.

- You haven't?

- No.

Then Felix was telling the truth.

- Felix told you?

- Everything.

- Then you knew all the time?

- Yes.

I know something you don't know.

I'm not engaged anymore.

You're not?

She married my shipmate.

She did?

I'm as free as a bird.

Oh, that's what you think.

They've stopped talking.

- What, again?

- But this time, it's for keeps.

Now I bring the judge, yes?

- But definitely.

- Yes, please.

Well, young man, I suppose

you know what you're doing...

...but I warn you, she can't cook.

- She can't cook?

- No, I can't cook.

She can't cook, but what a wife.

I hope you'll be very happy.

Thank you.

What a Christmas.

What a Christmas.
