Love in the Afternoon Page #9

Are you traveling again?

Yes, sir! I'm off to the Riviera.

I looked out the window this morning,

saw rain and made up my mind...

...just like that.

Just like that?

Actually, it started last night.

You know those Swedish twins?

We had a big party.

They're going to Cannes

and they want me to come.

Get a little sun,

you know how it is.

Yes, I know how it is.

I guess I'm just in time

to help with your suitcase.

I guess you are.

Yes?

Did you try Air France?

No planes are taking off at all?

In Paris, this kind of weather

sometimes lasts for weeks.

What about the train?

5:
00?

All right, get me on it,

and send up for my luggage.

How long will you be gone?

Who knows, with those

two crazy Swedes!

And after the Riviera,

I thought I'd go on to Athens.

You know, Greek women have

the whitest skin in the world.

That so?

I could say I was going on business,

that I'd be back in a few weeks...

...but I don't have to

pretend with you.

You're a sensible girl.

- I try.

- Sure.

I heard your record,

got a big kick out of it.

- I thought you'd hate me.

- Hate you?

Why, you don't know what a relief it is

to find a girl who thinks the way I do.

You French girls have the right idea,

it's bonjour and adieu...

...and in between a little amour.

No big production,

no hysterics, no mascara running.

We never cry, Mr. Flannagan.

That's why I love this place.

Except once, once I did cry.

That's when No.14 left me.

Export- import.

Yes. He slammed the car door,

and caught my thumb.

That really hurt.

I'll be very careful.

- Can I come along to the station?

- In this rain?

Because if I come home too early, the

man I live with, he'll be suspicious.

You know how it is.

Yes, I know how it is.

It's going to seem a little strange

and Ionely after you've gone...

...at least for the first

few afternoons.

You'll be all right.

We did have a good time,

didn't we?

The best.

Will you be coming back

to Paris next year?

I guess so,

if I'm in the neighborhood.

Then maybe I'd better check

at the Ritz once in a while...

...if I'm in the neighborhood.

Well...

...take care of yourself,

thin girl.

I will, Mr. Flannagan.

- What's the matter?

- Nothing.

It's nothing, really.

It's the soot.

Always happens to me

in railroad stations.

I'm susceptible.

En voiture!

May I?

En voiture, s'il vous plat!

Well, I guess I'd...

Goodbye, thin girl.

Goodbye, Mr. Flannagan.

You promised!

You don't have to worry about me.

There have been so many men before,

there'll be so many after this.

It's going to be another one

of those crazy years.

While you're in Cannes,

I'll be in Brussels with the banker.

He wants to give me a Mercedes Benz,

a blue one, it's my favorite color.

And while you're in Athens, I'll

be with the duke again, in Scotland.

But I don't know whether I'll go yet.

Another man asked me to spend

the summer with him in Deauville.

He owns racehorses. He's very rich.

He's No.

20, I mean 21, you're No. 20.

So you see, Mr. Flannagan,

I'll be perfectly all right.

I'II...

I'll be all right.

Mr. Flannagan,

what are you doing?

Be quiet, Ariane, be quiet.

Monday, August 24 of this year...

...the case of Frank Flannagan

and Ariane Chavasse...

...came up before the

Superior Judge in Cannes.

They are now married. Serving

a life sentence in New York.

State of New York, USA.
