Kiss and Make-Up Page #5

Synopsis: Dr. Maurice Lamar is a noted plastic-surgeon who makes his rich clients beautiful, and also makes them. He makes Eve Caron, the wife of Marcel Caron, so satisfied with his skilled hands that she leaves Marcel and marries Maurice. They go on a Mediterranean honeymoon, where he soon finds the affects of his own beauty regulations are more than he can handle. He bids adieu to his new bride, wings it back to Paris with the intention of giving up his practice and becoming a scientific researcher...after winning back the love of his simple, unadorned secretary, Anne.

My life would have more spice

And even if I have to pay

I'd gladly pay the price

I see you and surrender

Oh, won't you please be tender

Corned beef and cabbage,

I love you

(SINGING) I'm always happy when you

Are featured on the menu

Corned beef and cabbage,

I love you

Although you're so plebeian

You're fit for any queen

Corned beef and cabbage,

I love you

You fill me with

a strange desire

That haunts me

all night through

You seem to set

my heart on fire

You give me heartburn, too

Really? Why don't you

try a load of

Bicarbonate of soda

- Corned beef

- And cabbage

- I love you

- I love you

What's this pork chop

la Pompadour?

Ah, it is a chop, signore,

with a very fine crme sauce,

potatoes, asparagus, stuffed tomato,

and other fresh vegetables.

It is a poem.

Good. Bring us

two orders of that.

Oh, no, no, Maurice.

Too much starch.

Look, darling, I'm hungry. You order

what you like, but I want a pork chop.

Oh, but you wouldn't have

the heart to eat all those good things

right in front of me

when you know I'm fairly starved.

You order.

Well, bring me a small slice

of very lean ham,

fresh lettuce, melba toast

and, oh, yes,

some mineral water.

Now, order whatever

you like, dear.

What's the difference?

Bring me the same.

Well, it's the exact diet

you prescribed, darling.

Good night and

thanks so much.

Good night.

(HUMMING)

(SINGING) I love you

(SLOW MUSIC PLAYING)

- I told you so.

- What do you mean?

That's that Spanish vestibule lurker

I was telling you about.

How was the

beauticians' banquet?

Well, I don't know,

you see, because when I...

When you arrived,

they'd all gone.

How did you know?

It doesn't matter.

I fell asleep.

While Eve was dressing.

Yes.

That's one method.

Personally, I used to read a good book.

Prosit.

Prosit.

You wanted to go for a swim

this afternoon, didn't you?

Yes.

- But you couldn't go.

- No.

Prosit.

Prosit.

You wanted a good dinner.

Yes.

But you got lean ham

and fresh lettuce.

Yes.

Prosit.

Prosit.

Prosit.

Darling, my love for you

made me jealous.

Will you forgive me?

51, 52, 53, 54, 55...

On a night like this, there should be

no bitterness, only beauty and romance.

59, 60, 61, 62, 63...

One has only to look

at that moon to realize that

love is the only thing

in the world worth having.

68, 69, 70.

I shan't be

a minute, darling.

(SLOW MUSIC PLAYING)

Darling, I'm out of

cleansing cream.

You could have said anything.

North Pole, gold standard,

bicarbonate of soda,

and nothing could have killed my mood

like that hideous little sentence,

"I'm out of cleansing cream."

Now, don't make me

nervous again, darling.

Your secretary must

have some samples.

I'll ask her

to bring me a jar.

What, now?

Well, of course.

How else can I remove my makeup?

Or would you rather

I went to bed with it on?

Do just as you like.

Room 698, please.

(PHONE RINGING)

Hello.

Did I wake you up?

No, I couldn't go to sleep.

Cleansing cream? Yes.

Yes, I'll bring it.

She wasn't asleep.

Are you angry because I called her?

No, and I'm not going to be angry

about anything anymore tonight.

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

Well, come in.

Thank you, Annie.

You're quite welcome.

I shan't be long, darling.

What is it, Annie?

Nothing.

- Tell me.

- Nothing, really.

I'd better get some sleep.

What is it, please?

You haven't enough heart

to understand.

I'm going back to Paris

in the morning.

Annie, I won't allow that.

Oh, you won't? Well, I don't know

how you're going to stop me.

- You don't know what you're saying.

- Don't I?

- But, Annie, please...

- Stop it! Don't touch me.

Don't even speak to me.

EVE:
What's the trouble,

darling?

Why don't you answer?

Your darling is calling you.

(SOBBING)

(SLOW MUSIC PLAYING)

(HUMMING)

(SINGING) Once I thought a husband

and a lover

Were two men, not one

I thought romance was only

A game of kiss and run

Now I'm both

a husband and a lover

And really it's fun

There never was

a night like this

There never was

a girl like you

Each moment of delight

like this

Is love divided by two

Your loveliness will glorify

That happiness

I have in view

And I'll have even more

If I divide the glory

with you

EVE:
(SINGING)

Love that's all one-sided

Leads only to sighs

But when love's divided

Somehow it multiplies

BOTH:
(SINGING) My heart

is at the height of joy

No beauty can compare

with you

This night will be

a night of joy

And love divided by two

Kiss me.

No! No!

Don't you love me

anymore?

Oh, how can I love you when

you look like a walking beauty parlor?

- Maurice!

- It's true.

We come to the seashore

and I can't swim with you.

I take you to dinner

and I can't eat with you.

I've become

your husband and...

I tell you, I've had enough.

I can't stand any more.

Well, what are you

going to do?

I'm gonna get myself

another room!

Are you going crazy?

No, I'm just

getting over it!

MAURICE'S VOICE:

Smile, if possible.

Hello. Dr. Lamar's

Temple of Beauty.

But, Madame Bordeau,

your appointment was for yesterday.

- It was yesterday, wasn't it?

- Just a minute, please.

You must have forgotten

to write it down.

But, madame, it was yesterday.

I'm looking at the records.

WOMAN:
You'll have to make

another appointment. I'm sorry.

Does anyone know anything about

Madame Curio's liver spots?

One moment, please.

Aren't they down in the book?

Yes, madame, I will.

Are Madame Curio's

liver spots down in the book?

I haven't seen

a thing of them.

Well, I'm sorry you feel that way

about it, madame, but...

Hello. Dr. Lamar's

Temple of Beauty.

I just don't see

how Anne managed.

(DUPONT SCREAMING)

DUPONT:
Oh. Look what

they've done to me!

Come quickly, someone.

It's Madame Dupont.

DUPONT:
I've been murdered,

that's what happened to me!

Go see what that is,

quickly. Hurry!

(PHONE RINGING)

Hello. Oh, no, madame,

the doctor is not here.

Oh, he'll be away for

at least another week.

No, no, really, ladies,

I can see no one today.

Oh, pardon me, madame.

He has just come in.

What is all this?

Well, we weren't expecting

you back so soon.

Where's Annie?

Isn't she with you?

She came back three days ago.

Haven't you seen her?

No, sir.

I will sue! I will sue!

Where is he?

He shall pay for this.

Oh, there you are.

Is something the matter?

Is something the matter?

Look!

Madame! What has happened?

You have ruined my life.

That's what has happened.

But you shall pay for it.

You shall pay!

(WOMEN GASPING)

Look! This is what they

do to you in this place!

Look! My beautiful,

beautiful hair!

You... You idiots! What are you trying

to do, ruin my career?

Such a thing couldn't have happened

if Annie had been here.

Find her for me at once.

I'm taking delivery.

Here's your check.

Wait! Stop!

Goodbye.

Where are you going?

We have a contract

with a nightclub.

I'll sue you!

You shall pay for this!

Oh, what next?

- Doctor.

- What is it now?
