One Hour with You Page #5

and a few laughs.

You know, y-your wife -

your wife is very amusing.

Yes, everyone says so.

It must be true.

Now, Professor,

all appearances are against me.

I know. I know.

But let me tell you again -

Not another word, Doctor.

- I believe you.

- Thank you.

You're very welcome.

I believe you.

But no one else will. [Chuckles]

Too bad, isn't it?

I just came up here this morning

to ask you...

if you would appear,

voluntarily, as a...

shall we say, witness

in my divorce suit?

[Chuckles]

Professor, please believe me.

I'm an innocent man.

I'm not guilty.

And neither is Mitzi.

I mean - I mean, your wife.

My friend -

May I call you my friend?

- Please.

- My friend, nobody is guilty.

I have a theory that nobody

is responsible for their actions.

Right!

That's absolutely right.

Our doings are controlled by circumstances

over which we have no control.

Oh, excellent.

Truer words have never been spoken.

Therefore, nobody can

be held responsible for his actions.

Oh, what a beautiful thought,

Professor.

You know -

You know that you're a poet?

[Chuckles] This, of course, has nothing

whatever to do with our case.

- Good morning, Professor.

- Madame.

Ah, I'm so glad you dropped in.

We should see each other

more often.

[Chuckles]

I'm afraid the doctor doesn't like me.

Oh, Professor.

Where did you get such an idea?

Oh, by the way, how's Mitzi?

- Mitzi?

- Yes.

Oh, Mitzi. Uh, let me see.

She left this morning for Lausanne.

- Lausanne?

- Mmm.

- Oh, to see her mother.

- I suppose so.

- I hope nothing's happened to her mother.

- To her mother?

No, I don't think so.

Well, we'll see.

I'm sorry, but I must be going now.

Well, you must come again sometime.

And when you write Mitzi,

you'll give her my best regards, won't you?

Oh, I surely will.

And yours, Doctor?

Please.

- Well, good-bye.

- Good-bye.

- Good-bye.

- Good-bye.

Don't you think

he behaved strangely?

Oh, no, not at all.

Andre? There's something wrong

between the professor and Mitzi.

Oh. What an idea, Colette.

I feel it. I feel it.

My womars instinct tells me.

And there's a man in it.

Andre?

You know who the man is?

- Who?

- This Russian artist Rodovsky.

- No. No, it's not Rodovsky.

- How do you know?

I don't know. I don't know.

My- My instinct tells me it's not Rodovsky.

I tell you, it's Rodovsky.

All right. All right.

Everybody- Everybody is entitled

to his own opinion.

[Chuckles]

Let's hope it's Rodovsky.

You're right, Andre.

It's not Rodovsky.

Now I know who it is.

- Who?

- That American - Goldberg.

Maybe - Maybe you're right.

I - I wouldn't be surprised

if it were Goldberg.

Andre!

- I have it now.

- Who?

No. No. No, it can't be.

# I didn't want to do what I did

but I did #

#And now what can I do #

# I'd better take a trip

Yes, a trip on a ship #

#To China or Peru #

# I knew the moment

that she began #

#Where it was leading to #

# It might have happened

to any man #

# It might have happened

to you #

# It was late

and she was lonely #

#And she begged

for sympathy only #

# Now I ask you

what would you do #

# In a case like that #

# If her head

was on your shoulder #

#And she grew

a little bit bolder #

# Now I ask you

what would you do #

#With a girl like that #

# Do you think

you could resist her #

# Do you think

you wouldn't have kissed her #

#Would you treat her

like a sister #

# Come on, be honest, mister #

# If you saw her

turn the light out #

#Would you get your hat

and get right out #

# Now I ask you

what would you do #

[Chuckles]

#That's what I did too #

# It was late

and she was lonely #

#And she begged

for sympathy only #

Darling.

- Have you had any breakfast?

- Yes.

Was -Was it a good breakfast?

Marvelous.

Had a - a good night's sleep?

Yes. Wonderful.

- Feel strong?

- Great!

Strong enough to face -

to take a-a nice -

a nice, long walk with me?

I'd love it.

Sit down, darling.

Darling,

I've got to disillusion you.

Your instinct was right.

There is something wrong

in Mitzi's marriage.

Didrt I tell you?

Didrt I tell you?

And who wouldn't believe me?

[Laughing]

Oh, darling, tell me.

Tell me all about it.

You were right.

There's a man in it.

[Squeals]

Rodovsky?

- No.

- Goldberg?

- No.

- But who is it, darling?

Tell me, who?

Me.

You?

You?

My husband...

and my very best friend.

Look at me, Andre.

Oh!

[Crying]

Go away!

Either you leave this house or I do.

- But, sweetheart -

- Our marriage is over.

- Darling -

- From now on you're nothing but a doctor to me.

- I love you.

- Tell it to my lawyer.

Believe me,

there was nothing wrong in it.

I know I shouldn't have done it...

but please, please forgive me

for- for what I didn't do.

I don't want to hear another word!

You can keep the house, my jewels,

the furniture, everything!

I don't want any alimony!

[Crying Continues]

How do you do, sir?

[Crylng Contlnues]

Adolph.

Don't go.

Sweetheart, you must forgive me.

Forgive you?

I'm in no position

to forgive you.

You think you were bad? No.

You were just

a naughty little boy.

Look at me.

I'm the one that's bad.

You think you're a Don Juan, eh?

Well, if you're a Don Juan,

then I'm a Cleopatra.

You, with your one hour.

What's your one hour

compared with my 25 minutes?

Remember the dream I told you

about Adolph and me?

Well, that was no dream. It happened,

right here, on the night of our party.

[Sputtering Laugh]

- Oh, so you think a man

couldn't fall in love with me.

- Let me kiss you.

- You think I'm not attractive enough?

- Maybe I'm too old.

- [Laughing]

- Well, I'll show you.

- Oh, darling! Darling.

[Laughlng Contlnues]

Adolph!

Adolph, I want the truth...

and nothing but the truth.

After the party was over,

did you or did you not...

wait in the garden

till after Andre had gone?

And didn't you come into the house

in the dark?

And didn't I find you

on the couch?

[Mouths Word]

Yes.

Well?

Sit down!

And then, Adolph, didn't you, with -

with an uncontrollable impulse -

didn't you untie your tie?

- Yes.

- Well?

Sit down!

And then, Adolph - then didn't you

take me in your arms and kiss me?

And didn't we sit on the couch,

and didn't you kiss me again?

And didn't I like it?

- I guess so.

- Answer yes or no!

- Yes.

- Well?

Sit down!

Well, Doctor? We're even.

A tooth for a tooth,

an eye for an eye...

an Adolph for a Mitzi.

Fifty-fifty.

But if I ever catch you aga -
