Her Highness and the Bellboy Page #4

---

I've got lots more.

Jimmy... what's

Mr. MacMillan like?

Oh, he's a prince.

Oh. I somehow picture him as

a fat man with a big family.

Oh, no. He's not fat.

He hasn't got any family.

No children?

No! Hasn't even

got a wife.

Thank you, Jimmy.

Yes, your highness.

Later on, I'll have

something for you to do.

Yes, your highness.

I- I shall do it with the greatest

of pleasure, your highness.

Is this the place, monsieur?

Uh-uh, oui, oui.

Will monsieur stay long

in this establishment?

Capistrano.

Uh, Mr. MacMillan?

Oh, hello, Jimmy. Glad

to see you. Sit down.

Oh, I can't.

You can't sit down?

What's the matter with you?

I'm here on official business.

Mr. MacMillan, I have the honor to

present you with this invitation.

Hey, Jimmy, wait a minute.

You want me to take back an answer?

No. No answer.

Sit down a minute.

Well-well? You going

to come to the party?

What? Oh, no.

I don't think so.

I don't like parties.

It's going to be

a very swell shindig.

She's asked all sorts of

princes and Dukes and things.

Going to be a lot

of face cards there.

I don't like face cards.

Ahh, but you'd like

her highness.

She reads your column. I guess

that's why she wants to meet you.

You seem to know her

pretty well.

I am her personal attendant.

What's she like?

Oh, wonderful.

Oh. So, you

like 'em plump.

Plump? Her highness?

Oh, no, Mr. MacMillan.

She's not plump.

Uh, she's not unplump,

either. She's-well...

She's perfect.

Why do you think

I followed you here?

To make love to me?

Just for practice.

You don't need any.

Come in, Jimmy.

I- I'll get her next time.

Baron faludi is just leaving.

Am I?

Oh, yes.

Until tomorrow then,

my dear Veronica.

Au revoir.

Did you find

Mr. MacMillan?

Oh, yes, your highness.

Where?

At Jake's joint.

Jake's joint?

What's that?

Oh, that's a saloo-

that's a cafe

where he hangs out.

He hangs out of a cafe?

Oh, no. He hangs out

in it.

Uh, he spends

most of his time there.

As a matter of fact, that's

where he writes his column.

Oh.

I'm terribly sorry

I was so late,

but-but we got

to chewing the rag.

You did what?

We got talking.

Oh. What about?

Oh, as a matter

of fact, about you.

Oh. What did he

say about me?

He didn't say anything.

He just asked questions.

You know, I think he's going to

write a column about you, too.

Oh, I'd be most

interested to read it.

What did he want to know?

Oh, how you looked.

And you told him?

Oh, how could I?

I- I gave him an idea.

Jimmy, I won't need you

any more today.

Yes, your highness.

Until tomorrow then.

Au revoir.

No, Jimmy. That's not

the way it's done.

Come here.

Now, when you kiss

a lady's hand,

don't be so athletic

about it-

or so noisy.

Don't snatch it up

as if it were a cake

and you were going to bite it.

The lips are brought

to the hand,

and not the hand to the lips.

Remember that next time.

Yes, your highness.

Uh... could next time

be now?

Very well.

But remember, don't snatch

and don't smack.

Now, gracefully.

And slowly.

But not too slowly.

Au revoir.

Hello, Dr. elfson.

Oh, hello, Albert. And

how are you these days?

Me? Oh, I'm healthy.

But I'm bothered about her.

Doc, is she very bad?

No, I wouldn't say so.

What would you say?

Well, as you know, Leslie

has her ups and downs, and-

yeah, but I never

saw her so far down.

Gee, doc, it seems like she's

getting littler and littler.

Yes, but I'm really

not worried about her.

I am.

She's going to be all right.

Doc...

Yes?

Do you think she'll ever

be all all right?

I hope so.

She can be cured by the

right kind of medicine.

Well, what is it? Pills?

I'll get a ton of them.

Now, Albert, I've told

you many, many times.

Leslie needs more than

pills to get all all right.

When she was a little girl,

something happened

to her spirit,

the thing inside us

that pills can't reach.

I think she didn't

have enough love.

So the best medicine for

Leslie is, uh, well, uh,

things like giving her

that radio or those flowers

or making her

laugh-

things which show her

that she is loved.

Now, remember that, Albert.

I'll remember.

Now you go in there

and make her laugh.

Who, me?

Yes.

Well, I ain't comical.

I think you could be

if you tried.

Good luck, Albert.

I've got to go now and

see a woman about a baby.

Good luck to you, doc.

Oh, is that you, Jimmy?

No. It's

only Albert.

Oh. Come in,

only Albert.

Hello, Leslie.

I brought you some flowers.

They're

for-not-me-gets.

Thank you, Albert.

I love

for-not-me-gets.

Albert.

What's the matter with

you? What are you doing?

Being funny.

I didn't mean to do that.

No, no, Jimmy.

Not like that.

Like this.

You see?

Ahh.

Take this to her highness.

If she wants me, I'm in

the ballroom doing things.

Thanks, Mr. pufi.

What does it say?

Uh...

Well, um...

Well, it says, um, "please

wear these near your heart.

I adore you.

Zoltan."

Oh. Give them

to my maid.

Yes, your highness.

Oh, and, Jimmy,

then you may go home.

Yes, your highness.

But you might need me.

At the ball?

I hardly think so.

But you might.

Oh, but, Jimmy, I don't want

to take up all your time.

It's all yours.

Very well, if you want to stay.

Thank you, your highness.

Albert, how many people do

you think will be at the ball?

I don't know, but there'll

be lots and lots of them-

all high-class

indivigitals, too.

Notrability, in fact.

Yep. Her highness is going

to toss a very elegant hop.

I wonder what she'll wear.

Her best clothes, I guess.

And she's got a lot of them

trunks and trunks.

I suppose she'll wear

a crown, won't she?

I would if I was a Princess.

So would i.

Gee, I bet you'd look

awfully nice in a crown.

I bet she'll look

awfully nice in hers.

Probably.

Is she really as beautiful as they say?

As who says?

People.

Well, I only seen her once.

That was

in the, uh-

yes. Yes, I know.

Jimmy told me.

Hiya, babe.

Is she so very beautiful?

Well, she was quite pretty,

uh, then.

Will Jimmy wear a uniform?

Well, I hope so.

What would he wear?

I mean, a special uniform.

Oh, I guess he will

if she wants him to.

Oh, she'll want him to. After

all, when he dances with her,

he'll have to

look nice-

e- even nicer

than usual.

Taxi?

Melody gardens?

Thanks. I don't think I want

to go anywhere tonight.

Well, anyway...

Here.

Thank you.

It's just like

a real one, almost.

You're very clever.

Me? Oh, I learned how to

make them in reform school.

Well, ain't you

going to put it on?

You look a lot nicer than her.

Glad somebody thinks so.

Everybody ought to think so.

Excuse me. I got to go. I'll

be back in a little while.

I'll see you later.

Albert, where are you going?

Well, uh...

New York is New York with

New York and New York.

Come in.

How do you do?

Huh? Me? Oh, I'm fine.

And you?

I'm fine, too.

Won't you come in?

Me?

Yes.

I know you, don't I?

Yeah, but not very well.

I know I've seen you before.
