Come September Page #3

I'd like to attend to my duties.

Just for my own Information,

how long has this been a hotel?

Six years.

it was a fine hotel, sir,

with a Triple A rating.

Conrad Hilton

would have been proud to own it

I'm surprised you didn't sell it to him.

The deed Is In your name.

Che piacere rivederla, signorina.

- Grazie Maurice.

- What did he say?

- That It's nice to see me.

- Oh.

- La trovo bene, Maurice.

- Lisa, please.

- Don't pat the servants.

- Maurice? He's more than a servant

Yes, I found that out today.

Keep your eyes on the road.

Robert, you're terribly sharp

with Maurice.

What's wrong?

How would you feel if you found out

Brutus was your major-domo?

Lucrezia Borgia your cook

and Benedict Arnold your upstairs maid?

Cos'hal combinato?

Questa villa resta vuota

Un dici mes al l'anno.

Al lora mi son detto: "Che peccato,

perch non convertirla In un albergo?"

- A hotel

- Filled with tourists.

Look... He even advertises.

Don't laugh, you'll encourage him.

C' solo una povera vecchia

con sei hambin Indifes.

E lui Il butta fuori, sulla strada.

- vero?

- vero.

- I can't believe it

- What?

That you could be so cruel,

to throw out on the street

an old woman

and six helpless children.

- Theyre not children, they're...

- What?

- Not children.

- Chie devo solo di lasciarli una notte.

Se ne vada domattina.

Why cant they stay one night?

They are leaving In the morning.

I don't want anybody there tonight.

Do you?

Roberto, what can one night hurt?

- Ha ragione, cosa importa...

- You keep out of this.

- Dont you listen to him.

- I've never seen you like this before.

- You're upset.

- Of course I'm upset.

It's 10 months since we had seen each other.

- Whose fault Is that?

- Mi fa male sentirvi litigare.

Isn't he sweet?

He said it upsets him to hear us argue.

Theres nothing to argue about

He's already told them to leave.

You did tell your friend Margaret,

didnt you?

Come potevo? Stava facendo Il bagno,

non siamo poi cos tanto amici.

Dont talk to her, talk to me.

- What's the big joke?

- He said, how could he tell her?

She was taking a bath,

and they're not that friendly.

I don't think that's funny.

Mi preoccupa.

Ha perso tutto Il suo spirito.

He said he's worried about you.

You've lost your sense of humour.

Well, I'll get it back when he leaves.

I don't think you should go In with me.

Why not?

The hotel guests.

How will it look if we come In together?

All right. I'll park the car and come In

through the servants' entrance.

I wouldn't want you

to lose your Triple A rating.

Oh, Miss Allison. Signorina Fellini.

- Buon giorno .

- Good afternoon.

- Who's she?

- A school teacher.

She doesn't look like a school teacher.

Margaret, If beauty

symbolizes occupation,

I would mistake you for a star

from the cinema

Maurice

- Oh, not now.

- Why not?

- She's taking a shower.

- Who Is?

- Sandy.

- Sandy?

The girl with whom I share

the room.

- You're rooming with someone?

- I'll kill that Maurice.

- It's not his fault

If he moved everyone around so I could

be alone In the room next to yours,

how would it look?

You'd better leave.

- We'll have dinner on my terrace.

- There Isn't room for nine people.

- What nine people?

- Theyll suspect if we eat alone.

Hurry, she might see you.

Be careful.

What am I sneaking around for?

It's my...

- Shhi

...house.

You'd better wait

Miss Allison hasn't made her bed-check.

And she's already suspicious.

- Of what?

- You and Mr. Talbot

- What about us?

- Dont get me wrong.

I think It's terribly exciting.

All the girls do.

Two people In love.

In a romantic place like this.

It's the dreamiest thing

I've ever heard of.

I'm going downstairs

to get some warm milk.

Warm milk?

He looks more like

the champagne type to me.

Good night, girls. Lights out now.

Err...

I was just going downstairs...

to get some warm milk.

I got the warm milk.

- Sandy.

- Yes, ma'am.

Lights out now.

- Good night, girls.

- Good night.

She'll be asleep In ten minutes.

So will I.

But he's waiting for you.

I can hear the music.

I really don't know where

a girl your age gets Ideas like that

I have no Intention

of going to Mr. Talbot's room.

I'm going...

Yes, I'm going to finish my milk

and go to sleep.

Good morning.

- Morning?

- What happened to last night?

- Everybody looked suspicious.

And Sandy knew about us.

I couldn't leave.

it would've been too obvious.

Sandy seems to know about everything.

Now I know what she's doing In Europe.

Her neighbors

decided to chip In and send her.

- What's that?

- Theyre getting ready to leave.

Good.

I promised to come down

and say goodbye.

Oh, send them a letter.

- It'll only take a minute

- No, Lisa, come on.

- I think you should come and say goodbye too.

- I'll wave to them from the terrace.

Teenagers are like the H-bomb.

When they go off, It's much better

to observe them from a distance.

- Bye, Mr. Talbot

- Bye

- Goodbye, Mr. Talbot

- Bye, Mr. Talbot

Good morning, sir.

Your orange juice.

Not orange juice, Maurice, champagne.

It's a special occasion.

The hotel Is closing,

you're packing,

and the guests are leaving.

How often does a man get rid

of all his troubles at the same time?

Oh, what's the matter?

I don't understand, Miss Allison.

What are you doing In traction?

Slipped on a champagne cork?

it was an accident

I've sprung my sacroiliac.

Mm? No, I've had this happen before.

Don't worry, I'll be absolutely splendid

by the morning.

The girls cant go without her.

You will have to let them stay

until tomorrow

You wouldnt think a cork this small

could lay out woman that big.

Maria, move Miss Fellini's luggage

into Miss Allison room.

- Teresa and...

- Milena, sir.

Start making sandwiches. Lots of them.

Mr. Cavell will need

all of his strength.

- Where am I going?

- On a long hike. With the girls.

You're going to show them Italy.

All of it.

if you run out of Italy,

show them Sicily.

That ought to take you all the day.

And a good part of the night, sir.

I'm glad we understand each other.

It's a shame the girls

have no place to go today.

They do.

Theyre going on a long hike.

Shouldnt we offer to go with them?

Maurice already volunteered.

Do you want to go?

Hiking could never replace this.

Oh, Robert

One, two, three, four,

ready, set...

- Hey, two, three, four...

- Hup

- Hup

- Two, three, four...

- Hup Hup Hup Hup

- Hey

What's going on here?

Observe.

Hey, look. It's Barney Oldfield.
