Kiss and Make-Up Page #4

It's desperate, but so am I.

- You're not going to sue me?

- No.

- Shoot me?

- No.

Not shoot yourself?

You're getting warmer.

Eve, tell me, please.

I shall get fat.

No!

I shall get fat in

all the wrong places.

Eve, you couldn't

do that to me.

Why not?

What can life mean to me without you?

From this moment I shall let myself go.

I shall neglect my skin.

I shall give up dieting and massage.

I'll never exercise and live only

for excitement.

In other words,

I shall destroy your masterpiece.

You would destroy

your beauty for my sake?

Why not?

I've no desire to be beautiful

in the eyes of other men,

if you don't want me.

Oh, Eve. I do, I do.

Beauty at any price.

Sweetheart.

(MAURICE AND EVE MOANING)

EVE:
Now you must go.

Go? Why?

Because we mustn't spoil it.

It's all so beautiful.

I can't imagine why you didn't want

to come to this convention.

- But, darling, on our honeymoon?

- Why not?

You'll be very proud of me

in front of all those other doctors

and I'll be proud

of you, too.

All right, sweet,

anything you say.

(JAZZY MUSIC PLAYING)

Oh, darling, not here.

It's too public.

But, sweet, this is

our honeymoon.

Yes, honey, but let's

wait for the moon.

(LAUGHING)

Ah, look at that sea,

that limitless expanse of blue.

Come on. Come on,

let's go for a swim.

- But darling, have you lost your mind?

- I hope so.

One should on a honeymoon.

Come on.

But how many times have you

told me yourself

that there's nothing worse for the skin

and hair than bathing in salt water?

Oh, that's true.

I forgot.

Yes, I'd be a fine

advertisement for you

at the convention tonight,

wouldn't I?

Yeah, I suppose you're right, dear.

I didn't think of the convention.

- What time is the dinner?

- Oh, about 8:
00.

8:
00? But darling, it's nearly 5:00 now,

I must start dressing at once.

You'll just about

be able to make it.

MAURICE:
Well, what am I

going to do for three hours?

Why don't you dictate

to that stenographer

you insisted on bringing along?

That's a good idea.

She went swimming.

She'll look terrible tonight.

There she is now. Annie!

Annie, wait!

Hello.

Hello.

(HUMMING)

(EVE SCREAMING)

Oh, Rolando!

What are you doing here?

You promised not to follow me.

I told you,

I cannot live without you.

Do you want me

to call my husband?

No, it is you I want.

- Go away. You are mad.

- Yes, I am mad.

Mad with this love

of you in my soul.

Shh!

- You don't understand.

- Yes, I understand.

You are here with another man,

but he shall not have you.

Did you ever see

so many freckles?

I never did.

They're fascinating.

You've no idea how long

it's been since I've run into

anything as natural

as freckles.

Hang on to yours,

won't you?

I don't see

how I can help it.

(BOTH LAUGHING)

Have you been here long?

No, just a few days.

I came to the Riviera

right after my divorce.

Sort of a honeymoon,

you might say.

- Honeymoon?

- Yes.

My last marriage taught me

that the right time for a honeymoon

is just after the divorce.

And alone.

Then you're

sort of celebrating.

Indeed I am.

This is the happiest moment

of my entire married life.

Why did you leave Paris

without telling me?

Well, I... I left very suddenly.

Of course!

With this other man, huh?

It wasn't a man.

It was my husband!

You have no husband.

Oh, yes, I have.

I was married this morning.

- A new husband?

- Yes.

Oh.

Why did you not say so?

I cannot be jealous

of a husband.

No.

- Kiss me, my love.

- Oh, no, no, no!

EVE:
No, no, no, please.

No, no, please. No, no!

(MOANING)

- The husband?

- Yes.

Who are you?

My name is Rolando Manuel Cristobal

Martinez Correro Fernandez Corragio...

Never mind, that's enough.

What are you doing here?

I love your wife.

So...

Darling, whatever you think,

you are mistaken.

How long have you loved her,

if I'm not too inquisitive?

For two whole weeks

I have been her slave.

Is that all?

Is that all, two weeks

or is that all, her slave?

Is that all, her slave.

That is all, so far.

Yes. Well, so far, so good.

(ROLANDO PROTESTING

IN SPANISH)

(PHONE RINGING)

Hello. Yes.

Well, this is indeed

an honor.

Yes, of course I accept.

Yes, indeed. 7:
30 sharp.

I'll be there. Goodbye.

Eve! What do you think?

The cosmeticians have

elected me President.

Not really?

Yes. Do you know what

an honor that is?

The biggest men

in the profession are here,

Hertzman, d'Orsay, Factor, DeSano.

And yet it is your husband

they've elected President.

The convention dinner

starts at 7:
30.

The President cannot

be late.

Of course not, darling.

(PEOPLE CHATTERING)

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

Come in!

Oh, hello, Annie.

Here's your speech

for tonight.

Will you want me anymore?

No. No, thanks.

Oh, I'm so glad. If I can let

a gentleman know right away,

I have a dinner engagement.

You have what?

A dinner engagement.

I can be dressed

in 10 minutes.

You can dress

in 10 minutes?

Zippers permitting.

Oh, so you've found

a friend already, eh?

Why, yes.

I met him in the water.

Do you allow men to

pick you up in the water?

Why not? One weighs

so much less there.

Well, you certainly

have changed.

I never thought you were

the kind of girl that would...

Oh, never mind, Annie.

Run along and enjoy yourself.

I hope you have a very pleasant evening.

Thank you.

The same to you.

(PEOPLE CHATTERING)

(PHONE RINGING)

Hello.

Oh, my dear friend, I'm terribly sorry.

We're coming right down.

Eve, you've got to hurry.

You're ruining my career.

Darling, what would

you like me to wear?

First I thought the blue,

but then green is so smart this year.

The trouble is, I look

so much better in yellow...

Look, sweet,

any one of them is all right.

Oh, but, darling,

I can't decide.

Well, why don't you wear one

and carry the other two on your arm?

(SLOW MUSIC PLAYING)

I think I'll have some

corned beef and cabbage.

Make that two orders.

I love corned beef

and cabbage.

Will you marry me?

Because I like corned beef

and cabbage?

Yes, and because

you're real.

No powder, no rouge,

no artificialities.

Oh, you've no idea what a relief it is

after all I've been through.

I know just how

you must feel.

It's nice to see

naturally curly hair too, for a change.

Oh, it's nothing

out of the ordinary.

Yes, it is. Why,

it's just the kind I like.

Now, what is it?

Darling, I just want

to touch up my lips.

What do you think you've been doing

for the last four hours?

Now, don't be cross,

darling.

Your masterpiece is only trying

to look masterpiecey.

There.

Are you ready, darling?

All ready.

It's over!

Yes, all over.

You mean there's nothing to eat?

And I'm starving.

Per signore.

Corned beef and cabbage.

A penny for your thoughts.

ANNIE:
(SINGING)

I'm simply wild about you

I couldn't do without you

Corned beef and cabbage,

I love you

You always set me raving

You satisfy that craving

Corned beef and cabbage,

I love you

If I could have you every day
