Gigi Page #9

Synopsis: Weary of the conventions of Parisian society, a rich playboy and a youthful courtesan-in-training enjoy a platonic friendship, but it may not stay platonic for long. Gaston, the scion of a wealthy Parisian family finds emotional refuge from the superficial lifestyle of upper class Parisian 1900s society with the former mistress of his uncle and her outgoing, tomboy granddaughter, Gigi. When Gaston becomes aware that Gigi has matured into a woman, her grandmother and aunt, who have educated Gigi to be a wealthy man's mistress, urge the pair to act out their roles but love adds a surprise twist to this delightful turn-of-the 20th century Cinderella story.

May l see it now?

The present.

Gaston, that's beautiful.

They're simply beautiful.

Oh, what a color!

Only the most beautiful emeralds

contain that miracle. . .

. . .of elusive blue.

What taste you have.

lf l may say so, much better

than your taste in clothes.

-May l put it on?

-The clasp is a bit tricky.

Why not ask the lady

in the powder room to help?

Yes, of course.

Thank you.

My dear, dear, dear boy.

How did it happen?

She changed her mind?

Obviously.

How delicious!

Did you have to

improve the arrangement?

Please don't be vulgar.

She looks adorable.

So fresh, so eager. . .

. . .so young.

lt's the sophisticated women

who get boring so quickly.

What can they give you?

Everything but surprise.

But with someone like Gigi. . . .

She can amuse you for months.

l'm so happy for you.

l can't wait to tell Manuel.

Good night. Good night.

l don't understand.

What's wrong?

lt's too early to go home yet.

l thought l was doing so well.

What's the matter?

l don't want to go home yet!

Please, Gaston.

Gaston, won't you tell me

what l've done wrong?

Gaston, do tell me. Please!

What's happened?

Gigi, what's happened?

May l come in?

Gaston, please.

No newspapers. No scandal.

Madame, will you do me the honor. . .

. . .the favor. . .

. . .give me the infinite joy

of bestowing on me. . .

. . .Gigi's hand in marriage?

Thank heaven.

For little girls

For little girls

Get bigger every day

Thank heaven

For little girls

They grow up

In the most delightful way

Those little eyes

So helpless and appealing

One day will flash and send you

Crashing through the ceiling

Thank heaven for little girls

Thank heaven for them all

No matter where, no matter who

Without them

What would little boys do?

Thank heaven

Thank heaven

Thank heaven

For little girls
