- Never!

- I wouldn't believe it myself.

No, and let me tell you something.

My husband wouldn't believe it either.

Your-Y-Your-

Oh, m-madame,

we're in a terrible situation.

Oh, we're as good as guilty.

All the facts are against us.

What shall we do?

Throw your newspaper away

and let us face the facts.

Madame.

Monsieur.

Driver, stop!

[Tlres Screech]

Madame, you may think I'm a coward.

I am!

- Mitzi!

- Colette!

[Together]

Darling!

[Together]

You look marvelous!

[Chattering Excitedly]

Oh, Mitzi, my darling. How have you been?

I haven't seen you since that day in Lausanne.

I've so much to tell you

I can hardly begin.

But werert we happy

and gay in Lausanne?

You look just as smart

and as stunning as then.

Oh, I'm much wiser, though,

thanks to several men.

Oh, how's the composer

you went with so much?

He's gone, but he had

such a wonderful touch.

And the painter who painted you

all draped in gauze?

One night I found out

what an artist he was.

[Chattering Excitedly]

Your boudoir's adorable,

simply divine.

And that bed - It's too gorgeous.

I wish it were mine.

My favorite perfume.

Femme de Paris.

Yes. Andre's so generous.

He gave it to me.

- Ah.

- Oh, I must show you my new lingerie.

Too stunning for only a husband to see.

- Those dresses - how thrilling!

- Yes, they're really quite fair.

I was just telling Andre

how I've nothing to wear.

- Ah?

- Of course, these are his.

Oh, they're as cute as can be.

But where is the rest of them?

Oh, pardon me.

- Well -

- Colette!

[Chattering]

I buy all his things, and believe it or not,

he wears even the ties.

- Well, he must love you a lot.

- How's the professor?

- Which one do you mean?

- The one that you married.

- Oh, he's still on the scene.

- You don't sound so happy.

Unless you're well mated, this business

of marriage is much overrated.

Oh, Mitzi, you don't know

how sorry I feel.

As for Andre and me -

well, he's just too ideal.

He sets me atingle.

I set him aflame.

#And no matter what happens #

#We still stay the same #

# Day after day #

#We will always be sweethearts

the same #

#As the day we began #

# Do what he may #

#We will always be sweethearts #

# For he is my boy #

#And my man #

# He kisses me

and my lips are so willing #

# But we both agree #

#That each time it's more thrilling #

#And so I can say #

#We will always be sweethearts

the same #

#As the day #

#We began ##

[Chuckles]

Darling.

This is Mitzi.

And this is Andre.

I'm - I'm extremely happy, madame.

Doctor, the pleasure's mine.

[Chuckles]

My very best friend and...

- my very, very husband.

- [Chuckles]

Don't you like her?

Oh, y-yes.

Oh, yes. I - I like her.

[Chuckles]

[Chuckles]

Look at him.

Look at him.

[Mutters]

Oh. No.

Isn't he darling?

I think he's cute.

Oh, please.

Oh!

- [Whispering] You mean to tell me -

- [Whispering]

[Whlsperlng Contlnues]

- He can?

- Yes, he can.

- No!

- I tell you he can!

Let's see him do it.

Darling, look like an owl.

- Oh, no.

- Oh, please, darling. Please.

- No, no.

- Oh, please do, Dede.

- Oh, no, no.

- Oh, please, Doctor. Look like an owl.

- Oh, now, madame. Will you - No.

- Yes, please do.

- I can't do it - No, no, no.

- Please. Please, Doctor.

Madame, luncheon is served.

It's about time.

- After lunch you'll do it?

- You will do it for me?

- No, no. Really, I -

- Mitzi, I hope you have a good appetite.

- Do you play Ping-Pong?

- Oh. Now, now stop it.

[Chuckles]

My wife thinks I am a darling.

And my wife's friend thinks I'm cute.

[Chuckles]

It's a terrible situation.

But I am determined

not to weaken.

We'll see.

[Whimpering]

Oh, madame.

Oh, call lyses 0546.

Tell Dr. Bertier to come.

- Yes, madame. At once.

- Describe my condition.

- Tell him you fear the worst.

- Oh, madame!

Madame, what happened?

Please tell me. Tell me.

Come on. Do as I tell you. lyses 0546.

Tell Dr. Bertier to come. Now hurry up. Hurry up.

Oh!

[Whlmperlng]

lyses 0546.

[Phone Rlnglng]

Hello. Yes?

Yes?

What?

What? She's sick?

Oh. Oh, yes.

Mitzi's sick.

Tell her I'm too tired.

Uh, what?

Well, yes. Yes. Naturally.

She wants the doctor right away.

Can't she make it tomorrow?

Just a minute, please.

Andre, this is no time for joking.

But why should I go?

Let her get another doctor.

Let her get two other doctors.

I don't want to mix business with Mitzi.

He doesn't want to mix

business with you.

- Why can't you be nice to my friends?

- But this is business. This is different.

- You hate her.

- Oh, darling, don't be ridiculous.

- I have nothing against her.

- I know you hate her.

- But why should I hate her?

- Well, you certainly don't like her.

I'm crazy about her!

- Then why don't you want to go?

- Because I don't want to mix "musiness" with Bitzi.

Business with Mitzi.

Oh, Mitzi, Kitzi, Bitzi.

[Exhales]

All right. I'll go.

Yes, Madame Bertier. Yes. Thank you.

The doctor's coming.

Oh!

[Whimpering]

Good-bye, sweetheart.

Good-bye, darling.

And remember.

No matter what she has -

heart trouble, appendicitis...

rheumatism, neuritis -

I love you.

##[Drums Beatlng]

##[Brass Band:
March]

##[Ends]

Oh!

[Whimpering]

Madame, you sent for me.

I want it to be clearly understood

that you're sick.

Oh, Doctor.

Not "Oh, Doctor."

Just "Doctor."

# If I have to examine you

let me see your tongue #

# No, that's not the way to start

Put your head against my heart #

- #You look fine #

- # But I feel so weak #

- # Maybe you should go south #

- # No, I'm too warm #

- #Just touch my cheek #

- # Let me take a look at your mouth #

# Say Ahhh #

#Ahhh #

# I know it can't be chronic

but if you feel this way #

# Perhaps you need a little tonic

three times a day #

# My head is simply reeling

Oh, Doctor, don't delay #

- # How often do you get this feeling #

- #Three times a day #

#You seem to be in perfect shape

as far as I can see #

#Are you a doctor or a saint #

# Hold me, please

I'm going to faint #

- #You surely need attention #

- # Do something right away #

# Now, just take two of these in water

three times a day #

# But what if this sensation

should fail to go away #

#Then try a real hot application

three times a day #

- # I don't know why you fear me #

- # Oh, I wish that I could stay #

# I'd not complain if you were near me

three times a day #

# If you're not better

I'll be back tomorrow afternoon #

# Oh, Doctor, if you understood

you could do me so much good #

- #This tonic ought to help you #

- # I know a sweeter way #

# Oh, no, no, madame

I couldn't see you three times a day ##

Ah, yes.

[Chuckling]

Why should you?

Oh, no, Professor.

Madame is in a very serious condition.
