for each other.
I know it deep down
in my bones. Don't you?
That's why I didn't accept
that room of yours.
There were no strings on that.
I was driving all night.
I know it. You said,
"Clear out before
I get back,"
but that's not the way
I'd have awakened
in the morning in that
extra shirt of yours, and...
And then I'd have
waited to thank you.
And I'd have asked you
to marry me.
Oh, don't you see?
We'd have had a few grand
weeks and a lot of laughs.
I'd have darned your socks
while you bumped around
in that old taxi,
scraping our
40 francs together.
And then
all of a sudden,
the walls of that
one room would have
started crowding in on us.
Yeah, I know that one.
When you're poor,
love flies out
the window.
Well, I saw it happen
to my father and mother.
So many worries,
so many quarrels, they...
They just gave up.
They didn't even
hate each other.
I suppose love is safer
in a place like this.
Please, Skipper,
don't let's make
a mess of our lives.
We're no good
for each other,
believe me.
Oh, don't be a fool,
Eve.
No!
Get your things together,
we're starting back.
No! No, I won't go!
Oh, listen,
I've just had
a swell break.
I got in with this crowd.
Things are beginning
to work out.
There's a man... Well...
It's what I've been
waiting for all my life.
Please! Please!
We'll make some excuse
and you'll leave
in the morning.
Careful, this is
a rented suit!
HELENE:
Ready for somebreakfast, darling?
GEORGES:
Yes, my dear child.
Good morning, Marcel.
Good morning, Helene.
Good morning,
Mr. Picot.
Oh, now.
If your face was
any longer, you could
skip rope with it.
Did you expect to
find me all smiles?
Well, I must admit
it was very pleasant
when he was in Budapest.
But you always...
The way you
spoke of him, I...
Everyone
sleep well?
Oh, I did.
Like a baby.
Is the Baron
coming down?
I think so.
I left him shaving.
What's your choice,
Baroness, kidneys,
omelet, chicken livers?
I'll have them all in the order named.
I'm starving!
I can't make up my mind what to eat.
Wasrt there some animal
that starved between
two haystacks
because he
couldn't decide?
Yes, a jackass.
What was that
you said before?
Good morning again, dear.
Good morning, darling.
Good morning, Baron.
Good morning.
Good morning.
I'm so sorry, darling,
I couldn't wait for you.
I was too hungry.
I'm afraid you'll have
to hurry your breakfast.
I've just had bad news.
About what?
Now... Now, don't
be alarmed, darling.
It's nothing serious, I hope.
Well, what is it?
It's about Francie.
Francie?
Yes.
Francie's our little daughter.
She's... She's
three years old.
You haven't told them
anything about Francie?
Oh, well, I... I...
I... I just had
a wire from home,
and she's very ill.
Oh, is she?
Oh, how wretched!
What is it?
Measles.
Why, that's
nothing serious.
No. Why, sometimes
that polka-dot effect
is very becoming.
And Francie's
the healthiest child
in the world.
Yes, but the strongest
When did you
get the wire?
Just after you came
down to breakfast.
Could I see it,
please?
Yes, certainly.
Oh, your poor mother!
She must be frightened
to death.
Where's the
nearest telephone?
In the main hall.
Why, what are you
going to do?
Telephone Budapest.
While I'm getting
the connection,
may I ask you to look up
the airplane schedule?
Trust me, my dear.
With a child dangerously ill,
the telephone will
be disconnected!
Tibor, please don't
argue with me.
I forbid you
to telephone!
My dear Baron, the day
is passed when a man
forbids his wife anything.
You keep out of this.
I will not.
Oh, please, my nerves.
What business
is it of yours?
I'm so very
fond of children.
Oh, you are!
Hello, operator.
I want long distance
to Budapest.
The name is Czerny.
It's the only Czerny
in the book. It's very
urgent. Please.
What are you
doing that for?
It won't help a bit.
Oh, Tibor, it makes
things easier for me.
I'm so sorry.
Thank you.
Could we go back
until the call
comes through?
I'd like to finish
my breakfast.
Marcel.
Well, I thought
it might distract
the Baroness.
I remember when
my poor father
fell off the yacht.
at the time. Well, it made
all the difference!
I'm taking that call
when it comes through.
No! No, Tibor,
I couldn't trust you.
You know,
if it's bad news,
he'll try to spare me.
Oh, darling, I know
your nerves are just
as strained as mine.
Hello. Yes, Budapest.
Who is this speaking?
It's your mother.
Oh, yes, Mama.
How's Francie?
Well, what did
the doctor say?
Oh, good!
The baby's temperature's
gone down and the spots
have practically disappeared!
What did you say, Mother?
It isn't measles
at all.
No, dear,
it's just a plain case
of alcohol poisoning.
The baby must have had
one highball too many.
She was out all night.
We picked her up
in the gutter.
Oh, how cute of her.
Oh, she loves
it so. Yeah.
You mean
I can speak to her?
Hello, Francie darling!
Oh, it's Francie. Listen.
Hello.
Hello, Dada.
Is that you, Dada?
Yes, yes,
this is your Dada.
Send her a kiss
for me.
Dada, Dada, Dada...
Goodbye now, dear.
I'll see you soon.
Oh, isn't it
wonderful.
It was just a heat rash.
We don't have to
leave at all.
You snake.
I'll show you.
Oh, poor little Daddykins.
Oh, was he so worried?
aren't children terrifying?
Well, when I was a child,
I used to swallow things.
They didn't dare leave
me alone in the room
with an armchair.
Well, now that
the crisis is passed,
shall we go back and
finish our breakfast?
Of course.
Hello, Dada.
I'll talk to you
later, Francie.
Georges,
where's the Baron?
I don't think
the Baron's hungry.
Oh, he'll be
all right. He...
Tibor!
I'm coming, darling.
No plover's eggs, you see.
Now, you promised me
plover's eggs.
Oh, I'm sorry, Marcel.
I ordered them.
Maurice, what happened
to the plover's eggs?
They didn't arrive,
madam.
We tried to
get in touch
with the market,
but the telephone
has been out of order
ever since last night.
Nonsense.
We just telephoned
from the main hall.
The house telephone
works, madam.
We were talking
to Budapest.
There must be
some mistake,
madam.
I wasn't able to
use the telephone
10 minutes ago.
Really, Maurice,
that's impossible.
It's in perfect
working order.
The Baroness was just
talking to Budapest, and
the connection was very good,
wasn't it,
Baroness?
I'm afraid he's right,
Madame Flammarion. I wasn't
really talking to Budapest.
You werert?
But we all heard you.
Of course you talked
to Budapest.
No, I didn't. And I'm
going to tell you something
even more surprising.
Tibor and I haven't
any daughter.
Well, what is all this,
in heavers name?
Are you feeling
quite well, my dear?
Oh, perfectly.
I shouldn't trouble you
