No.

Well, it's just better that way

Write to me Billy.

I will. Goodbye Ellen.

(English male voice)

I'll miss you very much Linda.

Knowing you

these past few weeks

has been one of the most exciting

things that's ever happened to me.

To me too, John.

Pete!

Ellen honey.

I thought I went to the wrong gate.

We haven't much time.

Really?

And I have so much to say.

- What?

- Well, you gonna be away.

Yes I know Pete, but what?

Suddenly knowing

you're gonna be away

makes me realise

my feelings for you.

So I thought I'd.

I mean, Ellen honey.

Visitors ashore please!

Oh dear Pete,

you'll have to go now.

But Ellen honey.

Better hurry. Write me

what you had to say, huh? Bye.

(English male voice) Barbara,

knowing you these past few weeks

has been one of the most exciting

things that's ever happened to me.

I'll miss you John.

- Good-bye baby.

- Goodbye Irv.

I know you'll be a smash. Now if you

want anything you ask my brother Edgar.

He's gonna meet you

at the hotel.

- So long Irv.

- Bye.

So long Ellen. So long.

Bye honey!

See you soon.

So long, see ya!

Hey. Who are you

waiving up there?

My girl, right there, see.

That's my girl.

Oh, don't give me that.

That's my girl.

I bet against five

on Dixie boy.

What a beautiful,

beautiful day.

Isn't it wonderful.

We don't know a soul on the boat,

and we can have fun

together for a change.

Yeah.

- Good day.

- Good day.

I don't know him, Tom.

Honest I don't. I want to write a letter.

Okay baby.

Don't forget

we've got to rehearse.

What time should

I meet you?

Two o'clock sharp,

in the gym.

- I won't keep you long.

- I'll be there don't worry.

- Now don't be late.

- Okay.

- Good day.

- Good day.

There's carbon paper in the middle

drawer, if you want to make duplicates.

I'm not writing a letter,

I was just doodling,

waiting for an opportunity

to introduce myself.

My name is Brindale. Lord

John Brindale, and what's yours?

Bowen.

Duchess Agatha Bowen.

Oh, no really. What is it?

Oh, let's see now.

E. B. E, is that Ethel?

Wait a minute.

Bowen, why of course -

you're Ellen Bowen aren't you?

You're doing fine.

It's very stupid of me,

I should have known.

I only saw your show a few

weeks ago. Please forgive me.

Oh, that's alright,

I know you have a lot on your mind.

Oh, I can explain those two little

episodes that you witnessed yesterday.

- Oh, you can?

- Yes.

Then go ahead.

Well, you see,

they're both terribly nice girls,

and they're so fond of me, that I couldn't

bear depriving either one of them.

You know how it is.

To be kind to people,

one has to be a very good liar.

Tell me,

why were you following me?

Following you?

I was doing no such thing.

I was only saying goodbye

to a couple of...

- The same?

- Yeah.

Does this sort of thing

happen to you very often?

Oh, all the time.

And you?

Constantly.

I guess we're both

two kind people.

I have to get a stamp.

Do you live in New York?

No,

I've been there on business,

but I'm just going home

for the wedding.

- The Royal Wedding?

- Yeah.

You're going to the wedding?

Well

I'm escorting someone, yes.

You really are

a Lord aren't you?

I'm afraid so.

My, my!

Haven't you met anyone

who held a title before?

Only Joe Louis.

- I'm very glad you're Ellen Bowen.

- Why?

It means that the chap you're with

is your brother, not your husband.

Do you know

what I did last night?

No, what?

I surveyed this whole boat,

and I discovered

that you were the most

attractive girl on board.

Well, thank you.

And I kept thinking that,

what a pity she's married,

because that's going

to make things terribly awkward.

But it isn't going to be

awkward at all now.

- Thanks for the use of the hall, purser.

- Not at all.

If you see my sister on deck,

tell her I'm waiting for her please.

I will.

- I like your boat.

- Thank you Monsieur.

Monsieur Bowen.

I have a favour to ask.

On every crossing, we have a gala

benefit for the disabled seamen.

I was wondering if you and your sister

would dance for us on that night.

Oh, we'd love to. Just tell us when.

One number

would be sufficient.

No trouble at all.

I know it's an imposition to ask

you two. But I would feel so...

We'd love to.

Don't worry we'll do it.

There's a fella that won't take yes

for an answer.

Oh, fine. Thanks for showing up

for rehearsals.

Oh... Er John, this is my brother Tom.

Tom this is John.

- How do you do?

- Glad to know you.

I just picked up John

in the writing room.

- So I gather.

- He's a real Lord.

Oh, it's nothing at all.

- Miss Bowen.

- Yes.

- A cable.

- Oh, thank you. Excuse me please.

Oh, Tom. That was from Pete.

He says he's very blue

except for his eye which is black.

Let's forget Pete for this trip, shall we?

Excuse us.

Oh dear. It looks a little dim

out there, doesn't it?

Yeah.

Monsieur Bowen,

I'm wondering if you and your sister

would dance right away

instead of waiting until 10:30.

We're a little afraid

of the weather.

- You mean it might be a little rocky?

- Yes.

That won't bother us,

we can handle it.

- Thank you, Monsieur.

- Any time you say.

I'd better change my dress.

Open your eyes,

there's a sapphire sky above us.

High above us.

Made for you.

When you open your eyes.

Open your eyes,

there's a carpet of jade around us.

Laid around us.

All for you.

When you open your eyes.

Let me show you the sight.

Take you on a tour of this great,

new fabulous world.

We own. We alone.

So open you eyes

and you'll see how this momentary,

ordinary night can seem.

More unreal than a dream.

We can handle it alright.

What do we do now?

- Keep your balance.

- Oh, sure.

So sorry.

- Oh, it's nothing.

- Pardon us.

(Applause)

What?

- Isn't it wonderful Tommy?

- It sure is.

(Phone rings)

Hello. Yes. Oh, sure. Yes, yes.

Do come on up.

Room two hundred & eleven,

twelve and fourteen. OK.

Who was that?

Edgar Klinger, Irving's brother,

he's coming up.

I'm so happy Tommy.

I wonder what the Princess

is doing this morning?

Why don't you call her

and ask her?

I know what I'd be doing

a month before my wedding.

Probably trying to figure

a way to get out of it.

Do you really think so?

You know you would,

and so would I.

(Door bell)

How do you do?

I'm Edgar Klinger.

Oh, we didn't know...

- That Irving and I were twins.

- No, we didn't.

I must say.

He should have told you, you know.

After all this is a pretty box of pickles.

May I come in?

Of course, I'm sorry.

How do you do?

So happy to meet you

at long last.

- My, it's amazing.

- It is rather, isn't it?

I do hope the rooms

are satisfactory.

Oh, they're fine.

It's a miracle you could get them.

Yes quite. The wedding

has backed things up a bit.

But, er, then there are ways.

How's everything

in the theatre?

Oh, seems to be humming.

The dancers are coming to audition

this afternoon. The singers tomorrow.

(Phone rings)

Excuse me please.

Hello. Oh, hello Johnny,
