Why-Why shouldn't she be?

Conditions are bad everywhere.

[Chuckles]

The professor is joking.

Oh, no. No, I have no sense of humor.

No sense of humor at all.

[Laughs]

Now, children.

You are my wife's doctor.

My wife is your patient.

[Chuckles]

You are the husband

of my wife's best friend.

And I am the husband

of your wife's best friend.

I am looking forward

to a very happy Christmas.

Now get out.

- Hurry. Hurry. It's getting late.

Hello?

Just a moment.

Madame Lacroix.

How do you do, Madame Lacroix?

Yes, Madame Lacroix.

No, Madame Lacroix. No.

The party's tonight.

Yes. Yes, thank you. I'm fine.

Good-b -What?

Oh, you're fine too?

That's fine. Good-bye.

[Phone Rings]

Yes? Oh, Madame Rodevska.

Yes. Yes, I see.

Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm. How interesting.

What? You're wearing a red dress?

Very dcollet? Practically no back?

No stockings at all?

But you're coming?

That's fine.

[Phone Rlngs]

Who is it?

Oh, Adolph.

No, Adolph. What do you want?

Oh, really, Adolph. It's 7:30.

I have a million things to do.

This is no time for silly conversation.

Hmm?

Hmm?

[Chuckles]

Colette, am I sitting next to you tonight?

Colette, tonight, next to you?

Now, Adolph, listen.

You're Andre's closest friend.

You were best man at our wedding.

That's as far as I'll go.

What?

Romeo?

You're coming as Romeo?

Yes. Yes, Romeo.

Of Romeo and Jullet.

What?

What?

Not a costume party.

Oh.

Oh, all right.

- Yes, sir?

Why did you tell me

it was to be a costume party?

Ah, monsieur.

I did so want to see you in tights.

Uh, I don't think that Martel girl

is so attractive.

I do.

All right. All right.

I - I - I won't argue with you.

[Chuckles, Clears Throat]

Everybody- Everybody is entitled

to his own opinion.

That's what makes the world go round.

For instance -

For instance, take Russia.

Darling, I swear I've been true to you.

Why did you change those place cards?

Sweetheart, you know I love you -

and only you.

Why did you change those place cards?

If I tell you the truth,

would you believe it?

No.

[Singsongy]

Darling, I'm going.

[Ollvler]

Good-bye, angel. Sorry I can't go wlth you.

Are you staying out

late tonight, precious?

Yes, beloved. I don't thlnk

I'll be home before mornlng.

Aw, that's too bad.

Good-bye, sweetheart.

Good-bye, darllng.

- What are you doing tonight?

- Nothing, madame.

- Wouldrt you like to go out?

- No, madame. I'm too tired.

Too tired? For a little dance

and a good time?

- Not really.

- Yes, madame.

- You can have the night off.

- I'm sorry, madame, but really I'm too tired.

Other girls are grateful for a day off,

and you -you're too tired.

Oh, you're a most unreasonable girl

and most ungrateful.

- Oh, but I -

- Oh, be quiet.

## [Piano:
Classical]

[Whispering]

Mitzi, I suspect Andre.

Colette.

You know what I found out?

How should I know?

He didn't want to

sit next to you tonight.

- And you know why?

- Why?

He wanted to sit next to

Mademoiselle Martel.

Uh-huh.

What do you mean, "Uh-huh"?

- Have you heard anything?

- Now, Colette, darling.

I believe Andre is absolutely faithful.

I don't care what people say.

People say?

- So everybody knows.

- Oh.

- Oh, tell me, Mitzi. Tell me everything.

- Darling. Darling.

There's absolutely nothing to tell.

Nothing definite.

[Whispers]

There she is.

Look at that dress.

- Terrible.

- Ghastly.

- And look at the way she wears her hair.

- Bleached.

Ah, madame.

Oh. Oh, my dear.

How are you?

I'm so glad to see you.

- You look perfectly stunning.

- Do you really think so?

Oh, gorgeous.

I'm simply crazy about that dress.

And you're looking so well too.

You must have gained.

Hello, Andre.

Where is Colette?

- What's the matter?

- I want to say "How do you do?" to her.

Dinner is served.

[Chattering]

[Mouthing Words]

Let's be happy.

Let's be gay.

Come on.

Let's drink and be merry.

Let's have a good time.

- Are you talking to me?

- Yes, Romeo.

Oh. Oh, Colette.

[Chuckling]

## [Upbeat]

Colette, when are we

going to dance?

Oh, when are we going

to be gay?

When are we going

to have all that fun? Hmm?

Well, Colette,

when are we going to have -

Right now.

# It's sweet

when the band is playing #

#To hold you in my arms #

# But I haven't time for saying #

#What I think of your charms #

#It's wonderful to be swaylng #

# To muslc of the dance #

#But I'd rather be obeylng #

# The muslc of romance #

# How I would love #

# One hour with you #

# One hour of #

#Just being with you #

# Then I could say #

# What I'm feellng #

#And conceallng #

#In my heart #

# Tonlght when all #

#Our danclng Is through #

#And moonbeams fall #

#On roses and dew #

# Perhaps you may even say #

#That you love me too #

#And let me stay #

# One hour with you #

# How I would love #

# One hour with you #

# I'm thinking of #

#The same thing as you #

#Then why delay #

#Just one reason #

#What's the reason #

# It's my wife #

# How I'd enjoy #

# One hour with you #

#You silly boy #

#Just what will you do #

# Leave that to me #

# Now I see

what champagne will do #

# No, no

Honestly #

# I'm tipsy for you #

# How I would love #

# One hour with you #

# I'm tired of #

#This hullabaloo #

#You used to say #

#You liked dancing #

# I love dancing #

# But with you #

# It's not so much #

#The steps that you do #

#Your very touch #

# Can make me say

Ooh #

#We'll have a chance for romance #

#When the party's through #

# It's all a bore #

# Unless I'm with you ##

##[Contlnues, Falnt]

Mitzi, please, don't.

Mitzi, don't be so Mitzi.

Why do you do that?

I can't tie a tie.

I never could tie a tie.

But I can tie a tie...

and how.

- There you are.

- [Chuckles]

Just a sample.

Mitzi! Mitzi!

Mitzi, my tie!

##[Band Contlnues]

Pardon me.

I'm a prisoner on my own veranda.

If I go inside, my wife sees me...

and I get into trouble.

If I go to the garden to Mitzi,

I get into trouble too.

But anyhow, I get my tie fixed.

What shall I do?

I go inside, my wife sees me,

and I get into trouble.

I go to the garden to Mitzi, I get into trouble,

too, but anyhow, I get my tie fixed.

I go inside, my wife sees me,

I get into trouble.

I go to the garden to Mitzi, I get in trouble,

too, but anyhow, I get my tie fixed.

[Muttering] I go inside, my wife sees me,

I get into trouble.

I go to the garden to Mitzi, I get into trouble,

too, but anyhow, I get my tie fixed.

I go inside, my wife sees me,

I get into trouble.

I go to the garden to Mitzi -

[Muttering]

I get my tie fixed.

A night in May.

Look at the moon.

Colette, how does the moon

affect you?

It turns me inside out

and upside down.

I tell you, if I didn't have

such a splendid education, I'd -

I'd yield to the animal in me.

Yes, I - I admit I come

of a very fine family.

Well, should a refined gentleman

not have any luck?

Does one have to be a roughneck
