Indiscreet Page #4

We weren't sure

it was you.

May we have your autograph, please?

Did you ever try to play

the violin right-Handed?

Yes, yes, I tried,

But I found myself

moving the violin

Instead of the bow.

Shall I see you

to your elevator?

Yes.

Good night.

Would you like to come in for a drink?

Yes, I would.

Hello?

Regent 8-9-4-7, please.

Hello?

Good morning.

Good morning.

How did you sleep?

Fine.

And you?

Fine.

What are you doing?

I'm considering

getting up.

I'm going to take a shower and shave

And take you

to a lavish lunch.

Why don't you

come up here instead?

My talent is cooking.

I'll do that.

Come in.

The door is open.

I'm in the kitchen.

Servants' day off.

Look out.

The chef is very

temperamental.

Sit down.

Drink your juice.

Eat while it's hot.

I'll wait.

Start.

Good manners

spoil good food.

I've decided to take

the NATO job in Paris.

I'm glad.

Oh...

hello?

Hi.

Last night

it was seven,

The night

before, five.

I can see the handwriting on the wall.

You're cooling.

Hardly.

How was your day?

Fine.

How was yours?

Fine.

Anything new?

No, no.

Nothing special.

Oh, yes.

Huh?

There was

a little something.

Yes?

What was it?

You're ready

to be impressed?

Ooh, fire away.

Well,

I just had dinner

With the president

of France.

No.

Yes.

What did you

have to eat?

Lamb chops.

Oh, no.

Why?

What did you expect?

Something

more pretentious,

Befitting

the occasion.

It wasn't

an occasion for him.

He eats every night.

Well, how did you

come to be invited?

The ambassador took me.

It's customary

for a new man.

Now, tell me everything that happened.

Small talk, really.

Well, you must have

discussed something.

Well, let me think.

Oh, yes.

Is it worthwhile putting

saccharine in coffee

Instead of sugar?

That took up

most of the evening.

The president

said it wasn't.

Well, he's wrong.

The finance minister

said he was wrong, too.

Of course it wasn't

an out-And-Out quarrel,

But it was a strong

difference of opinion.

That's off the record.

Off the record?

That's right.

Oh, you fit fine

in diplomacy.

Don't I?

Something else

happen?

No, nothing w-

Oh, yes.

Now, wait a minute.

Come to think of it,

Someone mentioned

your name.

Oh, really?

Who did?

Who was that?

Oh, yes.

It was the president.

It seems he's seen you

often on the stage,

And, uh...

he thinks

you're charming.

That was

his exact word.

Charming isn't

a very strong word.

Not in the theater.

Well, the president

isn't in the theater.

Oh, that's right.

Now, on the other hand,

The ambassador thought

you extremely talented

And exciting.

Well,

that's much better.

And I agreed

with both of them.

You see what a diplomat I am?

Mm-Hmm.

I...

uh, I found

a play I like.

I have decided

to do it.

I'm glad.

We are right

for each other.

We are good for each other, my darling.

We are, we are.

Sleep well,

my love.

Good night.

Good night,

dearest.

Now, come on.

Hang up.

Hang up.

Oh...

right.

Good night.

Good night,

dearest.

What are you

in town for?

Just some errands.

What are you doing

with yourself?

Rehearsing.

Is that all?

What more

would you expect?

I'm just curious to know what you did

With your day apart

from rehearsing.

Well,

if you're interested,

I get up in the morning,

and I brush my teeth,

And then I have breakfast,

and I read the morning paper.

What about

Mr. Philip Adams?

What about him?

Mr. Adams was here

last weekend,

And he's taken a permanent

suite one floor below you.

How do you know?

Alfred.

You mean, Philip told

Alfred he was here?

Not Philip.

Scotland yard.

Scotland yard?

Scotland yard doesn't

allow new members of NATO

To wander around without

knowing where they go.

Oh, for heaven sakes.

Anything else

they know?

Everything else

they know.

You can take

my word for it.

Well, the country's

come to a fine state-

Peeping toms,

Spying.

I didn't come here to show

you that Id been snooping.

I've got something

unpleasant to tell you,

And Im dreading it.

What is it?

Mr. Philip Adams

is a married man.

I know.

How do you know?

He told me.

He told you?

Is he getting

a divorce?

He never can.

Well...

are you doing

the right thing?

I don't know.

I have no choice.

I did have in the

beginning, but not now.

You love him?

Terribly.

Don't you hope

to marry him?

Yes.

It's never

out of my mind.

May I ask the purpose of your visit?

Business

or pleasure?

Pleasure.

Holiday?

That's it.

Darling,

Ill miss you terribly.

I'll walk into

a crowded room,

And someone will be

standing the way you stand.

He'll hold his head the

way you hold your head,

The way you hold

your knife and fork.

I don't hold my knife and

fork in any special way.

Yes, you do.

You hold your fork straight

up as a little boy does.

You do, Arthur.

Oh, hello,

Mr. Adams.

How are you

this week?

Fine, thank you.

How are you?

Ohh.

Now, here,

Here.

Ah-Choo!

Bless you.

Oh, this is terrible.

Oh, my gosh.

All right.

What's the purpose

of your visit?

Business or-

Hello, Mr. Adams.

How are you?

Hello, again.

How's everything?

Fine, thank you.

Now you stay down here,

And Ill go up

and be charming.

And keep your fingers crossed.

Why can't I go

with you?

Well, this is a very delicate

and diplomatic matter.

I don't want you to put your foot in it.

I deal with diplomatic

matters every day without feet.

Promise not to

say anything?

I won't say a word.

Now-Now wait a minute.

Does it have to be

the sea witch?

Why that

particular yacht?

Please, please,

it has to be.

I once was

a guest on it.

It must be

the sea witch.

And don't say a word.

Oh, I won't.

I won't.

How do you do?

Good day, miss Kalman.

Mr. Finley's expecting you.

Miss Kalman, sir.

Hello, Mr. Finley.

How nice to let me come

on such short notice.

My pleasure entirely,

I assure you.

This is

Mr. Philip Adams,

An American

friend of mine.

Mr. Adams is with NATO.

Really?

An admirable organization.

How do you do, sir?

How do you do?

Why, Mr. Finley

spoke to me.

I had to

say something.

Now, you're just in time.

Would you like some tea?

Oh, no, thank you.

Would you, sir?

Yes, please.

See?

He did it again.

I had to do it

again.

I saw you in your

present play, miss Kalman,

And Id like

to take the opportunity

To tell you how very much

I enjoyed your performance.

Thank you.

As a matter of fact,

I saw it twice.

Several months ago

and only last week

When the duke

gave a theater party.

He likes you, too.

I like the part where

you stand in the doorway.

"Go, you foolish

young man,

And shut the door

behind you. "

In the second act.

Why, Mr. Finley, you

missed your true calling.

You should be

on the stage.

Well, now...

what can I do for you?

Well, Ive heard a rumor that

it is possible- Just possible-

To charter

the sea witch.

So I took it upon myself

to speak to the captain,

And he said it might

be possible,
