My big case?

Yes, your big case.

Come with me. And your passport.

Yes.

Yes. There we are.

The ship doesn't leave for two weeks,

you know.

- Doesn't it?

- No. We've got plenty of time.

# Mais la vie... #

- It's alright.

It's the little things

that get you down.

I know. But we'll get

your dress fixed.

That was a close one.

Jean was very good.

She was indeed.

Shh!

We're getting close, gents.

- Thank you, Simon.

- Thanks, Si.

Getting near, ladies.

Ready!

Where shall I...?

It's through there, Cissy.

Mr Paget.

- You're on next.

- Thanks.

Jean, I was thinking

about the sticks.

I think we could get through

without them.

Oh, no. No, I don't think I could.

My hip's very bad today.

Well, I'm not so good,

but I think we should try.

It's more distinguished,

more operatic.

I may have to lean on you.

Lean on Reg. You'll be much safer.

And he'll love it because

he adores you.

Trust me.

How do you know?

I don't believe he ever

stopped loving you.

How do you know?

Did he say so?

Wilf!

It's the man from

Opera Today.

You look very handsome.

You look very beautiful.

We're both very old.

Thanks.

Then let's get married.

Were you serious?

Yes.

OK.

Bella Figlia dell'Amore
