Gregory's Girl Page #3

Oh. I think

it's a wonderful language.

It's so alive.

I want to live in Italy

when I leave school.

I can speak-a de language.

I'm a quarter Italian

and a quarter Irish...

On my mother's side.

Hey, I can speak Irish.

What was Renaldo

doing down there anyway?

He lives there.

No, I mean down there.

Oh, he was putting

some suntan oil on for me.

Bella, bella.

Anything else to show me?

Any major wounds

when you were twelve?

Hmm? Fourteen?

Oh, hi, Dorothy.

Nice to see you. Good game.

Look, I'd like to have a chat

with you...

for the school magazine.

I want to interview you...

and that girl in 2-A

that had the triplets.

You're pretty famous now,

you know?

I'm sorry. This is a dressing

room. You can't come in here.

Eric, get the whole

dressing room thing...

and some nice big closeups

of Dorothy.

You don't mind if Eric flashes,

do you?

This is no place

for a camera, Eric.

People take their clothes off

in here.

Yeah, where better?

Look, could you stand in there?

Too many shadows.

Just keep well in there, eh?

Thanks.

I like to interview people

like this--

no preparation,

everything nice and natural.

Now tell me, Dorothy...

how are the boys taking it--

you being on the team now?

You guys are so predictable.

Always trying to cause trouble.

We're all very happy.

Dorothy's

a very good player.

Slow down, Gregory, will you?

This is an in-depth interview.

-Dorothy?

-Things are fine.

I'm quicker than most boys,

so I can keep out of trouble.

I take dancing lessons, too,

and that helps my balance.

What you've got to remember is

that my body's quite different.

Hmm. You've got a good body.

You must train a lot

to keep in shape.

Do you have time

for anything else?

I mean, what do

you and your body do...

on a Saturday night,

for instance?

Oh, Saturday nights are special.

I like to do something special.

Hey, how about doing

something special this Saturday?

Come on,

this is a dressing room !

You all go and conduct

your business somewhere else.

-I'll go and change, too.

-OK, Dorothy.

You're an interesting girl,

you know?

But I want to find

the real Dorothy.

The one underneath

the football shirt--

Dorothy, the woman.

-Cheerio, Gregory.

-Arrivederci, Gordon.

Hurry back.

Bella, bella.

I'd like to do something special

on Saturday night.

Bella, bella!

What's this sudden need

to speak Italian, Gregory?

Oh, it's not sudden.

I've been thinking about it

for about three years.

It's just taken a while for me

to make up my mind.

It's very late in the term

to start.

I've got some free time.

I'll catch up.

It's very important to me.

You see, I want to live in Italy

when I leave school.

-Been there, have you?

-No.

I've been to Ireland, though,

and I met some Italians there.

They told me all about it...

in English.

Renaldo

could speak good English.

Renaldo?

Is that your Italian friend?

Well, not just him.

There were girls there, too.

I just said Renaldo 'cause

he could speak good English.

What kind of work

do you want to do in Italy?

Uh, I'll just learn

the language...

and then I'll see

what there is going.

You know, you should think

about taking a course...

in technical Italian.

Is that what's to do

with workin' engines and--

Ohh, I think I'd rather

do the normal Italian...

and work my way down.

Well, we'll leave it just now.

I'll have a word

with your form master...

see what he can

come up with, OK?

I'm really pleased

you're interested.

It's a lovely country.

Oh, yeah.

Wonderful language.

Don't you think it's so alive?

Did you manage to pick

any of it up at all?

Oh, a couple of words.

Um, bella...

and bella...

Are there any words

you could teach me just now?

Te lo dir.

It means "I'll let you know,"

Gregory, OK?

What about Alan? Do you think

he's still a virgin?

Nah. He's been

in the school orchestra...

for over a year now.

Pass the sulfuric acid,

will you?

Here.

What's the pH in that?

Seven.

-How's the football going?

-Oh, it's good.

You need to cut that up a bit.

It's too big.

What about

the goalie Gregory, hmm?

What do you make of Gregory?

Well, he's a bit slow

and a bit awkward.

Yeah, slow and awkward.

He's got a nice laugh.

Give me the bromide, will you?

Room four.

Good afternoon.

Do you know

that when you sneeze...

it comes out of your nose

at one hundred miles an hour?

It's a well-known fact--

one hundred miles an hour.

Just like that.

Room sixteen?

Hurry up.

Te lo dir.

"Here comes my messenger.

"How now, mad spirit!

"What night-rule now

about this haunted grove?

"My mistress with a monster

is in love.

"Near to her close

and consecrated bower...

"while she was

in her dull and sleeping hour...

"a crew of patches,

rude mechanicals...

"that work for bread

upon Athenian stalls...

"were met together

to rehearse a play...

"intended for great Theseus'

nuptial-day.

"The shallowest thick-skin

of that barren sort...

"who Pyramus presented

in their sport...

"forsook his scene

and enter'd in a brake...

"when I did him

of this advantage take...

"and forth my mimic comes.

"When they him spy...

"as wild geese

that the creeping fowler eye...

"sever themselves

and madly sweep the sky...

"so, at his sight,

away his fellows fly..."

Please, miss.

There's Billy out there.

"He murder cries

and help from Athens calls.

-"Their sense thus weak..."

-Be quiet, Andy.

"Lost with their fears

thus strong...

"made senseless things

begin to do them wrong...

"for briars and thorns

at their apparel snatch..."

Nice of you to drop in.

"From Yielders all things

catch. I led them on--"

Well, you said you'd come back

and see me again.

Here I am.

Hey, can I introduce my boss?

Miss Welch, this is Mr. Hall.

It's his own business.

Pleased to meet you.

Well, how's our Billy

shaping up?

He's a good lad.

He's been telling me all about

the characters in the school.

-He likes you.

-Oh.

And he's washed a few windows

as well.

I hope you're doing mine

for free, Billy.

Well, for old times sake.

Give us your glasses, and

I'll do them as well, no charge.

Thank you.

See you outside at 4:00,

lads, eh?

Listen, why don't you come up

and see me sometime?

I'll do that.

I'll use the stairs, though.

"I led them on

in this distracted fear...

"and left sweet Pyramus

translated here--

"when in that moment,

so it came to pass...

"Titania wakes and

straightway loved an--an ass"?

Doughnuts.

Well, we're still doin'

the two kinds--

the jam-filled and the rings.

What kind of jam?

-What would you like?

-Black currant?

That's no problem.

-I'll have half a dozen.

-Half a dozen.

I'll tell you what. I'll

throw in two ring doughnuts.

There's usually some left

on a Friday.

Good.

Have you given the petits choux

any more thoughts?

What was that again?

It was a basic choux pastry.

I've been workin' on it.

I think I've got it perfect.

That's good. It's very good.

I'd like everything in my office
