A nuisance.
Oh, you're wrong.
No, I'm not. If you had
Wanted to do something for me,
You could have begun
A long time ago.
Did you ever think
That a two-fisted drinker
Wasn't the answer
To my maiden's prayer?
Ha ha! Come on!
It's all a grand hoax.
And we're buddies,
Honey,
Free
As wildcats. Ha!
Oh!
Oh! Ha ha!
Oh, here you are.
I'm used to
Having people
Knock on my door
And wait until
I say "come in."
You are, of course,
Quite absurd.
Oh. You have had
Some message?
I'm leaving
For paris...
At once.
What happened?
Some man, eh?
Women like you
Are always the same.
There's always
Some one man.
Mostly a gigolo
Or someone equally
Distinguished.
My villa is many miles
From san sebastian.
It will be difficult
To leave
Till I am ready
To let you.
I didn't really
Think you'd care
Whether I stayed
Or not.
Oh, but you are
Greatly mistaken.
I do care,
A very great deal.
Oh, really?
The great,
Fascinating de bazan?
I followed you
For months,
Always jealous
Of the other men.
You know this.
A girl really
Can't be too careful.
How is she to know?
Kiss me.
Shall we...
Wait until
The others go?
It shall be
As you say.
I'm wild for you.
But I'm also
A gentleman.
That's a marvelous
Combination.
Shall we, um...
Join the others?
As my lady
Commands.
You're grand.
Visit me
In south america?
Good.
You come
South america?
Oh, sure.
Oh, good.
That is very near
Boston.
Yeah, just up the road
A little bit.
Mmm! Hot stuff. Hmm.
Hello, steve.
Mmm. Look out
For pepper.
Can you get
Rid of her?
I'll try,
Delicately.
Mmm... Shoo!
Scat!
Vamoose.
How did you get up
From san sebastian?
Rented a car.
Is it about?
Sure.
I want to get away,
And he won't let me go.
Why, the...
You're kidding.
Just time to catch
The mail plane to paris.
I'm with you.
Where's your stuff?
If I stop to pack,
I won't make it.
You know where
The front gate is?
Mm-hmm.
5 minutes.
Right.
What happened?
Changed my mind.
Was it something
I said?
Oh.
What kind of a world
Is it now?
Steve, darling,
I'm so happy,
I can't talk.
I was about to say something
New, deep, and startling.
It's the same old
World it always was,
And it
Always will be.
And life's
Like that.
Ain't it just?
Ah!
Well, I've
Delivered. I depart.
Wait. I'll get you
A drink.
Oh, clarice!
Clarice!
Oui, madame.
I'm home!
That's right. Don't keep it a secret.
Bonjour, madame.
Bonjour.
Whiskey et soda. Deux.
Tres bien, madame.
Why don't I get
A girl
That I can keep
All to myself? Why?
Why don't you?
Somebody
That will make you
As happy as I am
At this minute.
Ah, you just don't
Give a whatsis.
Voila, madame.
Clarice, appellez
L'hotel crillon
Et demandez monsieur
Alan harlow au telephone.
Tres bien, madame.
I'll have
A drink.
Well, here's to a better man than I am.
I suppose
He must be
A better man
Than I am.
Ha ha! He just happens
To be the man I love.
Happy days
And nights forever.
Thanks.
Hello.
Alan, my darling.
Yes?
It's lisbeth
In person.
Well?
I just got in.
When are you
Coming over?
I'm not coming.
You should have been
Prepared for that.
For what?
We mix
A lot of things,
But we take
Our women straight.
I see.
I hadn't thought
About that.
You don't mind,
Do you, steve?
I'd like to be alone,
Just for
A little while.
Sure.
If you want me,
I'll be
At harry's bar.
After midnight,
Zelly's.
Come in, come in.
Come in.
I had to see you,
Alan.
Why?
Did you want me
To tell you
What I found out
As soon as I set foot
In paris?
No.
I don't know.
To brush so near
Happiness...
And not get it.
Yes. It's too bad.
But there's
So much-
The rest
Of our lives.
If I thought that there
Was anything to talk about,
I'd have come
To see you.
There's one thing
That's important, alan,
That you ought to
Consider.
I didn't think
That I was ever
Going to see you
Again.
Don't you see,
I heard nothing?
I wrote you twice
From china.
Both letters came back.
Oh...
Then that was just
Bad luck, wasn't it?
Luck had nothing
To do with it.
Nobody knew
Where you were.
But I hardly
Knew myself.
I haven't much respect
For that.
But I didn't think
That I was ever
Going to see you again.
Don't you understand?
No, I don't.
If I'd come back and found
That you'd forgotten me
Or that you'd fallen in love
With someone else,
I'd have tried to win you
All over again.
But this cheap,
Contemptible, promiscuous...
Oh, wait a minute,
Alan.
You laid down
No roads for me
When you left me
In mexico.
You didn't care
A rap what I did
Until you found out
You loved me.
All right.
Put a label on it.
It's just plain,
Primitive, brute jealousy.
If you loved me
As you said you did,
No other man
In the whole world
Could ever put
A hand on you.
Oh, it isn't just
Selling me out.
It makes a joke
Of the word "love."
It's dragging some
Intangible flag in the dust.
I once held out
My very heart to you,
But you liked
Your freedom best.
You wanted it
For yourself,
So you let me
Have mine, too.
And now, because
You don't like
What I've done
With it,
You'd kick me
Right back in the gutter
Where you think I belong.
Oh, you're great, you
Men-proud, arrogant creatures.
Men don't marry the rotten
World they know all about.
Women like you
Won't do.
I won't spend
The rest of my life
Looking at shadows
On the wall.
Shadows on the wall.
I see.
Well, I'm going to
Tell you something now
That I couldn't
Tell you before.
But I can tell you now
Because I'm never
Going to see you again.
There were no shadows
On the wall when we met.
I had saved myself
For the man I loved.
But what's that got to do
With the past two years?
Why, everything!
If you hadn't liked your
Selfish liberty so well,
That you loved me sooner.
You wouldn't have sent me
Whirling into empty spaces
When I'd gambled everything
I valued and lost.
Rot! Just
The rotten alibi
Of indecent women
And nothing else.
You'll have
Plenty of time
To change your mind
About that.
I was only trying
To tell you
How much
I loved you.
You set me free.
You didn't know
Or care
How empty and silly
Freedom is.
You'll find out now,
Though,
Because you love me.
You couldn't be so brutal if you didn't.
I'm going
This time, alan.
You'll find out
What a curse
Freedom can be
When you're in love.
It's your own medicine,
Alan.
Make the best of it.
Ah! Prince. Princess.
Please come in.
The best table
In the house
For his royal highness.
Oh... Duchess.
Ok. Come on in,
Buddy.
I've been waiting
For you.
No, no, no,
No, no!
Oh, come on.
Come on, huh?
No!
I've been
To see alan,
And I feel
Much better.
Yeah,
I can see that.
Here.
You going to
Get married?
No.
Yes, you are.
I mean me.
I've been
Thinking things over,
And I've been staying
Very, very sober
So that I could think.
You want to
Marry me, steve?
