Monte Carlo Page #4

As long as possible, Dom.

Really?

Emma. We got to go.

No, I'm good.

Emma!

Dom is a prince.

Okay, my aunt is here.

Aunt Brenda?

Where?

Aunt Alicia,

here to see her

favorite niece, Cordelia.

Oh. That's bad.

And we have to

stay here till Friday.

Oh, that's good.

She totally bought it.

You see? We're good.

Meg, come on.

No, I'm telling you,

she thinks you're Cordelia!

- You were just crazy enough!

- DOM:
Excuse me,

I'm going to dance

with her. Sorry.

It was thrilling.

Hello.

Hi.

(SPEAKING FRENCH)

- Uh, excusez-moi...

- Bonjour.

I'm looking for a taxi.

- Taxi?

- Yeah.

Okay, you have

a taxi station just over here. Straight on.

- Merci.

- You're welcome.

WAITER:
Mademoiselle Scott?

Oh, thank you.

Mmm.

(SIGHS) This is so nice.

(ALARM BEEPS)

Time to flip.

You have to rotate

every three minutes for optimal coverage.

It's a science.

Biology is a science.

Hey, Meg.

Classy.

You know,

I picked out a dress for you.

I fixed your eyebrows.

Why are you picking

a fight with me?

I'm not.

Always. Little digs.

I know what

you think of me.

You have no idea

how little I think about you.

You see, Grace,

she's just not happy

unless everybody

around her is miserable.

- Emma.

- Trust me,

I forgot about you

the minute you left high school.

(SCOFFS)

And so did everybody else.

Yeah, right.

And who quits high school

for a catalog shoot in Dallas?

I was on the cover.

Of a Clip 'n' Save.

You are so delusional.

Okay, you know what this is?

We had a big night last...

You know what your problem is?

It's that you are just jealous.

Jealous?

You're a waitress.

Your best friend is

an 18-year-old girl.

- Excuse me?

- And your boyfriend...

Okay, who died

and made you such a...

Emma!

That's not what I meant.

(SIGHS)

If you'll excuse me.

- Meg, she didn't...

- Nice friend.

Okay.

Ma petite-amie. Emma.

You answered her phone.

Come on, help me out.

She's my fiance. Here, take a look.

Have you seen?

Yeah, you know her.

Where did she go?

- But she's gone.

- Oh!

Well, yeah...

But where?

(SIGHS)

Hey, Meg.

Riley?

Hey.

Hi.

You're not

following me, are you?

Following?

No. No, I didn't...

You okay?

I'm good. (CHUCKLES)

So, where's your bus?

It left us behind

a long time ago.

Stupid bus.

Cordelia!

Oh, hey. What's up?

You're late.

Late for what?

- Are you...

- What?

You sound...

Something different.

Chip-chop, spit-spot,

come on, let's go!

Off we go! Quickly, come on!

Let's go.

Okay.

Did somebody get flowers?

Meg?

Grace?

Me.

(EXHALES) "Emma, please

allow me the honor..."

Da-da-da-da-da-da-da...

"I'll pick you up at 8:00.

Domenico."

(SNIFFING)

Cheers, thank you.

- Okay, all right.

- Yeah?

All right, this is what

you've been waiting for.

Bring it on.

I want to see this.

I mean to just...

(LAUGHS)

- All right, I'll have a go.

- All right.

You want to? Go?

Ready?

Go ahead.

- There we go. That's it.

- You actually know how to do it.

That's good.

Bonjour, Lucille,

this is Mademoiselle Scott.

Lucille will take care of you,

she'll show you to your room.

Where are you going?

I have to go change.

- Change?

- I'll see you on the field.

ALICIA:
Cordelia!

There you are.

Ah, Aunt Alicia.

I'd love to

stay and chat,

but I must change, so...

Really!

Merci.

Polo, how hard can it be?

Hey! I think we are

going the other way.

Oh, right. See, at home

they usually just bring the ball to me.

Right. The other way. Okay.

Go right. (CLICKS TONGUE)

Your niece plays

with spirit.

Usually with more

finesse than spirit.

(PEOPLE APPLAUDING)

(I WANT THE SKYPLAYING)

(SINGING) I'm ready, ready to run free

That's a nice one.

Thank you.

I'd like to know

what lies beyond the blue sea

You live once,

so drink the honey

(WHOOPS)

I learn my lessons

from the birds and the bees

I want the sky to open wide

Illuminate this fire inside

I want the sky

So, you just go

wherever you like?

Yeah, that's the idea.

For how long?

I'll let you know

when I'm done.

And your parents

are okay with this?

I think they were just happy to see

me walk out of there, you know?

What, did they say

you'd never walk again or something?

I was never much good

at being told what I couldn't do.

But I was in hospital

for a year just flat on my back.

I hate hospitals.

My teammates

would come and visit in the beginning,

but after a while,

I was just a reminder

of what could happen to them.

Bad fall,

get hit in the wrong place,

never play rugby again.

Anyway,

trekking around for a while

just seemed like

the best way back.

You miss your mum.

I can't find my way back.

I went to the hospital

to see her every day she was there.

Almost two years.

That's a long time.

Not long enough.

(SIGHS)

Everyone was so nice,

and understanding, and comforting, and...

I just wanted to scream.

Do it.

Go on. Scream.

Just do it.

Look, I won't even listen.

I won't listen.

I can't.

(LAUGHS)

(RINGING)

Come on, hit the ball.

Cordelia!

- What?

- The ball. Take it!

This is Cordelia.

Hello?

Hello?

(SPECTATORS APPLAUDING)

Who is this?

Is it all right if I take her?

I'd love to brush her down.

- Really?

- Yeah, I've got her.

Odd.

You've never been one

to clear up after yourself.

A new leaf, a new me.

It appears

you've made a friend.

I know.

Isn't she a beauty?

Remember that

darling pony you had as a girl?

What was its name again?

My childhood, please!

You know I never look back.

Oh, you remember

the black one

with the little white

star on his forehead.

Yes. Uh...

The one with the star.

I called him Blaze.

Blaze?

I really should get her

back to the stables, so...

The resemblance

is astonishing.

But Cordelia rides

English saddle.

And you, if I'm not mistaken,

were taught to ride Western.

Heaven forbid.

I'm just a little

out of practice, that's all.

Well, this is a new low

even for Cordelia.

To hire a look-alike

to stand in her stead

at a charity event

organized just for her

while she's off partying.

I don't know

if it's the champagne

or the sunlight

that's got to you.

Oh, I will call

security immediately.

No, you can't.

The charity!

Look, I promise you

that I will do whatever is

expected of Cordelia tomorrow.

I'm not about to

stand in the way of helping those kids.

Are you?

BERNARD:
Alicia.

No one must ever know.

Is that clear?

Crystal.

Here you are.

What a wonderful match.

I was just

congratulating Cordelia.

The ambassador

is ready for us.

Oh. Shall we?

If you muck this up,

you will have me to answer to.

Both of you.

Pass it on.

Oh.

(SIGHS)

Bling, bling, bling, bling,

bling, bling, bling...

Who are you

hiding from?

Hey.

You ride very well.

It's one of the two things

my father taught me.

And the other?

(WHISTLES)

(HORSES NEIGHING)

(LAUGHING)

It's actually more handy

than you might think.

(BLOWS)

No, here. Put your

fingers like this

and now curl your

tongue like that.

Now you try.

(SPUTTERING)
