Come September Page #7

Synopsis: Wealthy industrialist Robert Talbot arrives early for his annual vacation at his luxurious Italian villa to find three problems lying in wait for him. Firstly, his long-time girlfriend Lisa Fellini has given up waiting for him to pop the question and has decided to marry another man. Secondly, the major domo of his villa, Maurice Clavell, has turned the estate into a posh hotel to make some easy money while the boss isn't around. And, finally, the current guests of the "hotel" are a group of young American girls trying to fend off a gang of oversexed boys, led by Tony, who are 'laying siege' at the outer walls of the villa. Talbot, to his own surprise, finds himself becoming an overprotective chaperone.

- Get the car, Maurice.

- Yes, sir

- I dont see them.

- Sparrow, stop worrying

- He'll follow us.

- Who?

Tony. You don't think I'd have left

If I didnt think he'd come after me?

And don't you worry.

Mr. Talbot will come after you too.

Believe me, Sandy, I couldn't care less.

A $20,000 car

Isn't supposed to get a flat

Evident, the manufacturers

felt the same way.

Theres no jack to change the tyre.

There must be a garage

around here someplace.

Va; vial

Dov' il garage pl vicino?

They don't know. I'll ask Inside.

You there, I want to borrow your truck.

MI spiace, ma non capisco.

I want to borrow your truck.

I'll pay you for it

Non posso.

It's an emergenoy.

I'll buy it, here.

Ma questo camion non mica mio.

Perch mi ha dato questo denaro?

Non mio.

- Get In.

- Theres a garage.

- Never mind, get In.

- In this?

Va bene. Va bene.

Eh, il mio camion

Eccolo l Fermati

Calmati, figlio mio.

Chiamiamo la polizia adesso.

There they are, sir.

- Here, take this bird.

- Take the wheel.

Lisa

- What?

- Stop the bus

- I want to talk to you.

- Go away.

I've been thinking.

You want me to take you seriously?

OK. I take you serious.

It's too late.

What do you want me to do, marry you?

- OK, I'll marry you.

- You sound like you do me a favor.

I'm not doing you any favor

by marrying you.

if you'd asked me when we first met,

or last year, or even yesterday.

We never spoke of marriage.

We were happy.

I always feel I forced you Into it

- Do I sound like I'm being forced?

- You dont seem happy about it

I've never been happier.

Look damn it, I'm smiling.

it would never work

Lisa, I'm asking you In a nice way.

Now stop being an Idiot

Get off that blasted bus and marry me

No

OK, don't ever say I never asked you.

You're a witness.

You heard me ask her.

- Dont stop now, sir. Follow them.

- No, Maurice.

I'm like this goose.

I know when I've laid an egg.

I want that villa put up forsale.

And if you can't sell it, burn it

I've had it with this country.

Thais Is no time to burn your villas

behind you.

- She loves you. She wants to marry you.

- She has a funny way of showing it

Italian women are emotional.

She's been hurt

She wants time to think.

I want to go back to America, where

people get married without thinking.

Eccolo l camion

Arresta

ue?

- What are they saying?

- They say we stole his truck.

His truck? That's ridiculous.

Tell them I bought it, paid $600 for it

Yes, we admit it

We stole this truck. It was his Idea.

I never stole any thing In my life.

Thais Isnt the first car he's stolen.

Tell them that's my car over there.

He stole that one, too.

I resent being treated

like a memberof the Mafia.

He's a member of the Mafia.

What are they doing?

Maurice, tell them who I am.

This Is Robert Talbot

The most wanted criminal In Europe.

That's right.

They probably want some money.

Offer them a bribe.

He says you'll never collect

the big reward.

He's wanted In Rome...

five million lire.

You know the police

In the big cities.

if they come after him,

they end up with the reward.

The way to make sure you get it,

Is to take him to Rome personal.

- Did you tell them about the money?

- Theyre definitely Interested.

The time I wasted on him.

For the hypocrite, a liar, a fraud.

You are fortunate. Most women

find it out after they are married.

I'm lucky to get man like Spencer.

He's honest, sincere, sympathetic...

...err... reliable

Everything Robert Isn't.

But at least Robert did me one favor.

- He did?

- He asked me to marry him.

He begged me.

And that freed me of him forever.

Now I know I can be happy with Spencer.

Where are they taking us?

We've been riding for hours.

I wish I knew, sir.

I don't understand it

They act like I'm a criminal.

I've noticed that, sir.

Hey

Metti gi le mani

Tell him I'd like to

explain everything very carefully.

Yes, sir.

He says he Is ready

to make a full confession.

Now, there's this girl, Lisa Fellini.

There Is this girl,

Lisa Fellini.

Tell them she was my house guest.

She Is his chief accomplice.

She lives here In Rome,

via Bellaglo, 46.

She Is hiding out In Rome...

at via Bellaglo, 46.

We had an argument, a lover's quarrel.

I was trying to keep her from leaving.

Theres a big reward for her.

Hey

If I only had my lawyer here.

Believe me, what I'm doing for you,

no lawyer could ever do.

You didnt see Lisa at her best the other day.

Once you get to know her, you'll love her.

She's a shy, gentle girl.

Very quiet, well-bred and home-loving.

Lasciatem andare!

Lasciatem andare!

Sono Innocente! Mascalzoni

I don't like making snap decisions,

Spencer,

but do you think

this Is the right girl for you?

Robert

Signorina

Theres this man I met

about eight months ago. Spencer.

He's been very nice to me and...

Non lo so.

I don't want to sue anybody

for false arrest.

just want to get out of here.

if there's a plane, a train, a bus, or

jackass leaving this city, get me on it

- Theres a train leaving for Milan in just about

an hour. - Fine. Get me a taxi.

Let me tell you about Italian women.

Theyre not to be trusted.

- Deceitful, emotionally unstable.

- Doesn't that apply to all the women?

Of course, it does. That's where they've got us.

Nothing else to replace them with.

- At least you go down to the station and apologise.

- I'll write to them.

Cafoni

First, You say you don't love me,

spend two nights at a man's villa,

finally, when you return you're arrested.

I can't allow this to go on

after were married.

Come along.

Hello?

Yes, Maurice.

I dont care

what train Mr. Talbot Is taking.

As long as he takes it

We dont want him here In Italy.

I speak for the government

Goodbye.

Hello?

Take care of yourself, Maurice. Ciao.

What are you so happy about?

- Lisa, I have to talk to you.

- Come In.

What's wrong?

He didn't follow me

I'm going home tomorrow and

he doesnt even have my phone number.

- I know I'll never see him again.

- Dont worry.

Lisa, I don't want to lose him. I'm 18,

I may never have another chance.

- Of course you will.

- No, I'm going to end up like you.

Marrying the wrong man

and miserable with someone I don't love.

Non sense,

I'm very happy with Spencer.

Now, listen. Do you know

where the boys were going?

Yes, but what good Is it?

It's like Mr. Talbot said.

It's wrong for woman to chase a man.

He won't respect her.

Forget Mr. Talbot

Listen to him and you'll ruin your life.

But you told me he was right.

You said you were taking his advice.

Did I? I don't remember.

Now, where were the boys going?

Paris. The Deauville Hotel.

Hotel Deauville In Paris.

Internazionale prego.

- You're calling Tony.

- Lisa...

I want the Hotel Deauville In Paris.

- When they answer, ask for him.

- Do you think I should?
