Summertime

JANE:

Hey! Excuse me?

ENGLISHMAN:

I beg your pardon?

JANE:

(handing him a Venice booklet)

Hold on to this for a sec, would you please?

ENGLISHMAN:

Yes, certainly.

JANE:

In a little closer, if you don't mind? Up a little higher?

Thanks. Now, still.

(she films)

This is Venice we coming into, isn't it?

ENGLISHMAN:

Yes, we will be there in about two minutes now. This is the lagoon.

JANE:

Oh, boy! Gotta get a shot of this.

(she tries to film but...)

Oh golly!

(she quickly replaces the film cartridge)

Fifth one of these I've used already. Haven't even got there yet. Oh!

(she takes back the booklet)

Thanks a lot.

ENGLISHMAN:

Is this your first visit to Venice?

JANE:

Yes. Is it yours?

ENGLISHMAN:

No. I've been here several times.

JANE:

Several times! You have?

ENGLISHMAN:

Yes. I hope you're going to like it.

JANE:

Like it? I've got to. I've come such a long way. I saved for a long time for this trip. Do you think I maybe won't like it?

ENGLISHMAN:

I'm sure you will. But not everybody likes it in the same way. Some people find it too quiet, some people find it too noisy. And it is very noisy. But the majority find it very beautiful.

JANE:

Yeah. Well, I guess I'll settle with the majority.

ENGLISHMAN:

Well, here we are.

This year?

Well, what do you know?

Our travel agent did a crackerjack job.

They planned every step of the way.

Take a look at this.

Here is today's itinerary.

I.A. What's that?

Independent actvity.

We're allowed 2 hours of it everyday.

That's really something to take.

I guess it is kind of unique.

You see, Miss. Hudson,

this is our first trip abroad.

Mr. Mcllenny retires this year

and we don't have any children.

So we just decided

to have our little flame.

Where're you stopping, Miss. Hudson?

At Pensioni Fiorini.

What do you know?

We're there though.

Isn't that nice?

We're now coming along to Pensioni right now.

We gonna stop at Titian Pertitian,

It's the cuttest shop.Just cute

Here's your stopping off place

coming up now, Miss. Hudson.

Put them down there, dear.

One moment, Miss. Hudson.

I'm terribly sorry.

I know they weigh a ton.

Pensioni Fiorini.

Thank you.

Hi.

Hi.

Hello. I'm Jane Hudson.

My travel agent must've sent a wire from

Of course, Miss. Hudson.

We have your room.

Would you register, please?

Here. Just your name,

where you from and passport number.

So hot.

Yes, it's very hot.

I'll fill in the rest.

Thank you.

Giovanna.

My husband used to say:

If you are not gonna fire her, the least

you can do is to strangle her.

You speak English so well.

Thank you, but don't worry, Giovanna

doesn't speak one word.

Let me help her. They're too heavy.

No, she is strong like an ox.

I'll take this other stuff.

Thank you.

That's our dining room.

Here we have our sitting room.

Would you coming please.

Thank you.

Oh boy! This is lovely!

Good. Would you give your things.

Oh thanks. I'm so happy to be here.

Instead of a hotel full of

tourists, like me.

Excuse me one moment.

Wow!

Do you know Bourbon?

Oh yes.

I smuggled it in. It's very good whisky.

You want some ice?

No. Thank you. I'm determined

to learn to drink without it.

You 're very willing.

Completely.

Half ltalian. Half American.

Is this your first day in Europe?

How did you guess?

You traveling all alone?

I like it.

I would hate it.

I'm an independent type. Always have been.

You're a writer?

No. Fancy secretary, really.

Cheers!

This is nice. I keep saying that.

I don't mind.

This is my business.

Here's my home for many years.

When my husband died in a war,

this place has been Pensioni.

I enjoyed it, though.

And it's very pleasant

to make money without moving.

Oh, hi.

I'm Phyl Yaeger.

Hello, cookie.

Be seeing you.

Cute.

Yes.

Don't you want to see your room?

Thank you.

I like the singing. I like the machine.

It's ltaly, isn't it?

Is it?

To me.

I put you high up,

so yo can have plenty of air.

Thank you.

It can be very hot, you know.

Across the lagoon, you can see Murad,

That's where they make the glass.

Here you have quite a nice view.

Thank you!

For what?

For this.

You know

I met a girl on the boat coming over,

In America,

every female under 50 calls herself a girl.

Really?

Who cares.

Anyway, this girl on boat was waiting.

For what?

She was going to Europe to find something

That was way back in the back of her mind.

Part seeing things and getting

some culture that was about here.

Perfume about here,

let it loose for once about....

We won't go into that, but....

way back, way way back in the back

of her mind

was something she was looking for....

What?

A wonderful, mystical, magical miracle.

To do what?

Beats me. I guess to find

what she's been missing all her life.

Well. I better take a shower.

Yes.

Gallaria at Dermania and the church of..

What is it?

They're all alike to me.

You should see the Bianelli.

Pardon?

That's the big artist.

If I have one more

look at a painting, I yip.

Excuse me, but

Mrs. Yaeger's husband is an artist.

Oh, well, say,

Pardon me, ma'am.

I don't understand pictures,

I know how you feel.

When I first fell in love with Andy,

I just had to get to like pictures.

So I looked and looked,
