to get along in the world?

I wonder where Andre is.

I love you, Colette.

Colette, I love you.

Let's - Let's - Let's run away.

Let's live.

- You're still a young woman.

- Andre!

My tie. My tie.

- Andre.

- Andre!

Andre?

Andre?

[Sobbing]

Oh!

[Sobblng Contlnues]

[Crying]

[Loud Crying]

- We had a most delightful time, Doctor.

- Thank you.

- Good night.

- Good night, Andre.

- Good night.

- Thank you.

Good night, Dr. Bertier.

I had a perfectly charming evening.

- Thank you so much.

- It was a pleasure, madame.

I'll be waiting in a taxi

on the next corner for five minutes.

Impossible.

- Ten minutes.

- Ridiculous.

All right. Fifteen minutes.

Positively maybe.

Good-bye, madame.

- Good night.

- Good night.

#Why did I kiss that Mitzi #

# I still can feel it yet #

#And now I'm in a spot

And what a spot #

# For right out there is Mitzi

and right up there Colette #

# Should I be brave

and misbehave or not #

# Should I say yes or no #

# Should I stay home or go #

#Why should I be afraid to fall #

# I'm only human after all #

# I love Colette #

# I'm crazy for Colette #

# But, oh, that Mitzi #

# I kiss Colette #

#And I get all upset #

# But, oh, that Mitzi #

#To stay or go

I really can't decide #

# But this I know

We can't all three be satisfied #

# I love Colette

I haven't weakened yet #

# But, oh, that Mitzi #

# Some girls are slow

Some even answer "no" #

# But, oh, that Mitzi #

# Some girls are cool

and others only fool #

# But, oh, that Mitzi #

#There's no mistake

about the way she clings #

#Why, she could make an angel

throw away his wings #

#And yet I claim

Colette can do the same #

# But, oh, that Mitzi ##

[Crying]

Why don't you go back

to Mademoiselle Martel?

- [Chuckling] Oh, darling.

- It may be a joke to you, but it -

Our romance is over.

[Laughing]

Oh, darling.

If I wanted to start something

with Mademoiselle Martel...

would I do it here?

Couldrt I call her to my office?

So, that's what goes on

in your office!

Darling, we have been married

for three years.

And for three years,

you've gone to your office every day.

Sweetheart, take my word -

This Martel girl -

- I don't believe you!

- I demand that you believe me.

I saw what I saw.

[Sobbing]

[Car Horn Honks]

Let's not talk about it.

Let me take you in my arms.

I love you.

You're lying!

[Sobs]

- Darling, if you don't believe me -

- [Horn Honks]

If you don't believe me,

in two and a half minutes, I'm going out.

Oh. So you're threatening me,

are you?

All right. Go out.

Darling, I warn you, I'm going.

I heard you. Go!

All right.

- I'm going.

- My compliments to Mademoiselle Martel.

Andre!

Andre! Andre!

Adolph!

- I've come to stay.

- Adolph!

- # I'm dying for one hour with you #

- Adolph, the party's over.

- # I've got to pour my love out to you #

- What's the matter with you?

- # I'm just insane with desire #

- Adolph, this is ridiculous!

- I don't know whether to laugh or scream.

- # I'm on fire #

- I want you to leave this house at once.

- # Have a heart ##

Andre!

You'll have to call louder than that

if you want Andre to hear you.

But if you want Adolph,

all you have to do is whisper.

Oh.

[Crying]

Sorrow makes you look

even more beautiful.

Thank you, Adolph.

More feminine...

younger.

- Do you really think so?

- I do, Colette.

Oh, thank you, Adolph.

[Sobbing]

Any man who leaves

a woman like you...

on a night like this,

with a man like me...

deserves it.

But it was my fault.

I was wrong.

You have a right to be wrong.

You're a woman.

Women are born to be wrong.

I like my women wrong.

You poor, lonely little thing.

Oh, I'm so unappy.

- You need love.

- Yes. Love.

Lots of love.

Lots of love.

## [Whistling]

Get out! Get out,

or I'll call my husband!

- Oh, darling.

- My dear, how excited you seem.

I just had a dream,

a terrible dream.

I dreamed that last night, when you

were gone, I was downstairs alone and -

Yes, yes? Go on.

Suddenly a man took hold of me.

I - I struggled, and he -

- Choked you?

- No.

- Shot you?

- No.

What did he do?

He kissed me.

Oh. Kissed you.

[Chuckling]

Your dream shall come true.

But the man wasrt you.

Someone I know?

- He's your pal.

- What a pal!

- It was Adolph.

- Oh, no. Not Adolph.

[Laughs] That's a scream.

It couldn't be Adolph, even in a dream!

Adolph!

#And still I feel guilty #

# It doesn't seem right #

# But you shouldn't leave me #

#At night #

# Day after day #

#We will always be sweethearts #

#The same as the day #

#We began #

# Dream what I may #

#We will always be sweethearts #

# My lips are for no other man #

# Dear, never fear #

# I won't ever neglect you #

# Each night I'll be here #

#To adore and protect you #

#And year after year #

#We will always be sweethearts #

#The same as the day #

#We began ##

- [Knocklng]

- [Colette] Come In.

Darling, whatever-

- Professor!

- Doctor.

- Oh, it's nice of you to drop in.

- Uh-huh.

- We missed you a lot last night.

- [Chuckles]

- [Chuckles] Wort you sit down?

- Thank you. Yes.

- Excuse me one minute.

- Yes.

- Uh, it's a bit drafty, eh?

- Yes.

Did you, uh, have

a good time last night?

Well, we -we tried our best.

First we had, uh -we had dinner.

Then we danced.

And then we -we played a little.

Played? May I ask what?

- Cards.

- Cards?

Bridge.

You didn't play cards

last night, Doctor.

Oh! Professor.

I ought to know.

[Chuckling]

You were in my apartment

last night.

- In your apartment?

- Mm-hmm.

Let me see.

You left your house...

at 2:
10.

You went to the corner,

jumped into a cab.

My wife was in that cab.

Yes. Yes, that's true.

That's absolutely true.

Uh, your-your wife -

your wife was alone.

See, naturally, as her host...

I wanted to see her

get home safely.

Thank you

for protecting my wife, Doctor.

- It was only my duty, Professor.

- Yes.

Now, let me see -The car arrived

in front of my house at 2:35.

You and my wife

stayed in the car...

for eight minutes...

up to 2:
43.

Right. Right.

Your-Your wife just -

just asked me something.

And then I answered.

Then another question,

and then another answer.

One question follows an answer.

You know? [Chuckling]

Eight minutes -

Eight minutes can go like that!

Yes. Yes.

Then you, uh -

you got out of the car.

You went to the house,

and at the door...

my wife handed you the key.

You unlocked the door...

and after a short conversation,

you went in.

This was exactly 2:51.

Uh -Am I boring you?

Oh, not at all, Professor.

Uh, yes, y-your wife -

your wife said...

"Wort you come up

and have a little brandy?"

And I said,

"Ah, a little brandy can't hurt."

- So, I - I went up.

- Yes.

And, uh -

And you had the brandy?

Yes.

Was it good brandy, Doctor?

Excellent, Professor.

You drank this brandy

from 2:
53...

to 4:
44.

Professor, I assure you...

that there is

absolutely nothing wrong.

We just -We just had a chat...
