to see what was going on!

Hey, this place is reallyjumping.

Come on, take a look.

Come on.

Hey, come on.

This is alright.

Uh, who's that girl?

Mike, I see 8 or 10. Which

one are you talking about?

That one with the red

hair and the brown suit.

Oh, she came over from

Paris with Dan McCall.

Excuse me.

Uh, listen, I'm going to have a drink.

Do you want one?

No, thank you.

Well, you look like you're

having a good time.

It's fun.

Have a drink.

Worse than crossing the

track during race time.

Safer.

Oh.

- Hi. Want a lift?

- Yeah, sure do.

Watch it for me, will ya fellas?

Someone will be back

to pick her up.

You're kind of unusual going around

asking people you don't know

if they want a lift.

Bet you heard that's not

being done these days.

I've got a bad habit.

I usually pick up a famous race

driver sitting in a ditch.

Pretty good.

I oughta know you but I don't, do I?

Holly macgregor.

- You know Lindy's place?

- Yeah.

Well, I'm her partner.

I know you.

You're Dan McCall.

What were you doing down in that ditch?

A very small, spotted cat,

i think it was a female,

she couldn't make up her

mind which way to go.

Eventually, we went different ways.

She ran off and left me there.

And, you think that's a female trait?

Say, where am I taking you?

The holiday inn. You know where it is?

Sure. I've stayed

there for a while.

- Thanks for the lift.

- You're welcome.

Can I buy you a drink?

No, thanks.

Any particular reason why not?

Yeah, as a matter of fact.

You know, I might have you

mixed up with somebody else,

but I seem to remember you with a

pretty good looking French girl

no, you're not mixed up.

I used to wonder what

life would be like in a harem.

You know what?

I decided against it.

You know, maybe I'm wrong, but uh,

wasn't there a time

you could talk to a girl,

buy her a drink, just

because you liked her?

Not because you wanted to...

And that's the only reason

you asked me in, hmm?

No, not the only reason. I wanted

you to meet that French girl.

She doesn't know many people and I thought

she'd like you and you'd like her.

She thinks I'm a sex maniac,

too, but she humors me along.

I think some days she

thinks I'll snap out of it.

Dan. I'm sorry. I apologize.

Come on.

Well, she's supposed to be here.

I don't know why,

but, you know, I believe you.

Ah, that is good.

He promised me just yesterday

that he would not lie anymore.

So, what did he tell you?

That you're supposed to be here.

Well, he did not lie.

I'm Gabrielle queneau.

Holly macgregor.

I asked Holly in for a drink.

- Well, what do you need me for?

- To make the drinks.

Ah.

- Is that francais?

- Oui, vous parlez francais?

Hey, uh...

Uh, Gaby...

Hey, Gaby, what about the drinks?

Oh, yes. I would like the, uh,

screwdriver.

I'd like one, too.

Uh, Gaby, uh...

Make the drinks.

Oh, yes.

Tout de suite.

Can I help?

- No. You stay here. I'll talk to you.

- Ok.

Operator, would you please give me

pat kazarian's place.

I'd like to talk to ed furness.

Shh.

Hi, sparky. Dan McCall here.

Fine. Listen, the Daytona

coupe is parked in a ditch.

You know that back road in from the track,

oh about a mile and a half in from town?

No, no, but you're going to need a

hoist to get it back on the road.

Yeah, I... I know, I know. I'll

learn how to drive someday.

- Hi.

- Holly.

Gaby, Holly.

Hey, look,

this time... hey,

this time we're going to speak English

so I know what we're talking about.

Ok.

What's going to happen?

That means I have to go to work.

See you later.

Oh, bye.

Hey, Carol, come on.

Sis, everybody.

It's groovy.

She's a nice girl,

isn't she, Dan?

Yes, she is.

Very nice.

What's funny'?

How do you know

which girl I mean?

Well, if you mean the girl

i was thinking about...

Holly.

You're a mind reader.

You like her very much,

don't you, Dan?

I hadn't thought about that.

But you think about her.

Petit.

Perhaps you love her.

That's crazy, Gabrielle. I don't even know

her. How could I be in love with her?

It doesn't make sense.

Once... once I read

in a book,

if love makes sense,

then it isn't love.

So maybe I'm not so crazy, huh?

Tonight when Holly sings...

I saw the way you looked at her.

You never look at me like that,

and I never

look at you like that.

So, this time, I...

I think you are in love.

And... I'm not a mind reader.

I know.

How do you know?

Ah, today at the beach,

on the sand...

When you were asleep,

you talked,

and you said her name.

It was a very nice dream.

This isn't fair to you, is it? I'm sorry.

You don't have to be sorry

for what you dream.

You know...

I think I'm jealous.

Well, if you were, you certainly

didn't show it tonight.

I'm not jealous of Holly.

I'm jealous of you..

Because you're in love.

Gaby?

Are you crying?

I remember once

when I was 8 years old...

And we were moving

to a new home.

As we were getting

in the car to go,

I turned around to look once

more at the old house...

And like now, I... I cried.

To say... to say

goodbye to someone

or something that has been

a happy time in your life...

That is not easy.

Dan, perhaps it will be difficult

for you if I stay here.

If you like, I shall

return to Paris.

Don't worry about me.

What do you want to do?

I like it here.

If you don't mind, I'd like

to stay a little while.

You stay as long as you like.

Are we still friends?

What are you doing for

dinner tomorrow night?

I'm having dinner...

With a friend.

See you tomorrow night.

Hello there.

Well, hello there.

Table for two, please.

Alright. Right this way.

- Best table in the house.

- Thank you.

Hey, Dan.

Tommy.

Pardon me, Gaby, I'll be right back.

Order me a drink.

- What would you like?

- A screwdriver and scotch and soda.

Ok.

Please, do you have a light?

Oh, yeah.

The music's good, isn't it?

Yeah.

If you like that kind of music.

- Hi.

- Hi, pat.

What are you doing here all by yourself?

- Playing records.

- Are you really?

You're playing them for

the whole neighborhood.

Haven't you got

anything better to do?

What are you doing here all by yourself?

Why don't you get a date?

Call up a girl.

Why don't you call that one

you're always watching?

What girl?

You know, that French girl. The one

that came over with Dan.

What do you mean, always watching?

I don't...

Come on now. Don't tell me that.

I've seen you 3 or 4 times.

Go on, call her up.

She and Dan split up

10 days, 2 weeks ago.

Yeah?

Why did they split up?

I don't know. What

difference does it make?

I mean, it's funny. Guy brings a

girl 3,000 miles and drops her.

So he drops her.

Go on, call her.

I don't think so.

Why not?

Look, I'll fix her up with somebody else.

There are plenty of monkeys

don't get to meet her kind.

- Mike, what makes you so holy?

- Hey!

See this shirt? Hmm?

It's new.

Those shoes, they're new.

No one ever wore them but me.

Everything I got is new.
