The Girl Downstairs Page #3

Tomorrow?

Yes, for cocktails.

At my apartment

at 5:
00 tomorrow.

Yes.

Till then.

And don't wake father

going out!

that you, rosalind?

Anything the matter?

no, fa-

Paul? Paul?

Here I am.

Oh.

I left you in the dark,

didn't I?

There.

Well, I think perhaps

I'd better be going.

Going?

But you were hungry.

That's right.

I was, wasn't I?

Those are lovely flowers.

Where did you get them?

They fell to me

from heaven.

Do things come to you often

that way?

Just the flowers...

And you.

Look, katerina -

You have nice eyes, paul -

good eyes.

That's why

I let you come in here.

Why,

I like you very much.

Katerina,

I'd better go now.

Thanks for

a delightful evening.

Mr. Brown. Mr. Brown.

Good morning, mr. Brown.

Your bath is ready.

Ah!

Thank you, hugo.

Lovely morning.

Yes, sir.

Ah -

Who is it?

Mr. Brown:
It's me.

Oh!

Good morning, father.

Rosalind,

what is the meaning of this?

Oh, it isn't a bit good of him,

is it?

Good of him?

Who cares wh-

That puppy was in my room

last night.

Oh, but why didn't you

let me know?

Well, you see, rosalind -

let you know?

What do you mean,

"let you know?"

I didn't know it myself

until this morning.

Oh, then it really wasn't

your fault, was it?

My fault? Oh!

My fault.

Rosalind, we must

come to an understanding.

I'm going out of my mind.

Well, it's all very simple,

father,

If you'll just

listen a moment.

Oh, well, go on, rosalind.

Go on.

It's merely this -

Paul and I like seeing

each other and dancing together,

And there's no reason on earth

why we shouldn't.

You're not

in love with this fellow?

Well, if I am,

it's all your fault.

My fault?

I think I made it quite clear

as to how I feel.

That's just it.

You're being medieval.

However, I'll tell him again

this afternoon to make sure.

We're having cocktails.

Cocktail - what?

That man is not

coming into this house again.

I took care of that, father.

It's at his apartment.

Ap- ap- apartment?!

Oh!

I'll stop your allowance.

All right. Go ahead.

You'll not

get out of this house.

I'll have you watched.

But you will come to

the wedding, won't you, father?

The wedding?

What wedding?

You're practically forcing me

to marry him.

You wouldn't dare!

Wouldn't I?

And in a week,

you'll be agreeing to it.

Agreeing to it?!

Agreeing to it?!

I wouldn't agree to it

even if I was in favor of it!

So there!

Oh!

it's funny

how the robin sings

when you're in love

you'll see

the sunny side of things

when you're in love

the flowers seem

much sweeter

the sky's a deeper blue

your heart has learned

a love song

you never knew-hoo

the moon was meant

for you alone

when you're in love

the stars will sing

to you alone

when you're in love

forever and forever

there's a rainbow up above

for love is yours

the world is yours

when you're in love

mm buh buh

bum dee-da-da

da-dee da-bum-bum

when you're in love

forever and forever

there's a rainbow up above

for love is yours

the world is yours

when you're in love

Miss anna!

Miss bertha!

Miss anna!

Miss bertha!

Oh.

Come in.

What's the matter, anna?

I've been ringing for hours.

Who are you?

I'm katerina,

miss rosalind.

I've never

seen you here before.

No, miss rosalind.

I'm not allowed upstairs.

Then what are you doing

up here?

The bell was ringing,

And I was the only one there,

so I thought I -

Where are your shoes?

They make so much noise,

miss rosalind.

Where are

all the other servants?

Mr. Brown is speaking to them,

I think.

Maybe they had done

something wrong.

Oh. Well,

maybe it's just as well.

Here, katerina.

Take this for me to mr. Wagner.

Mr. Wagner.

The address

is on the envelope.

Yes, but... Oh.

The address

is on the envelope...

Can't you read?

Me?

oh, yes.

Yes, of course,

even - even whole sentences.

Well, that's fine.

And wait for an answer.

Do you understand?

Yes.

I give the letter to mr. Wagner

and wait for an answer.

Yes.

And the address

is on the envelope?

That's right.

47 boulevard edelweiss.

47 boulevard edelweiss.

Thank you, miss rosalind.

Thank you.

47 boulevard edelweiss,

mr. Wagner.

Oh.

47-

47 boulevard edelweiss,

mr. Wagner.

47 boulevard edelweiss,

mr. Wagner.

47 boulevard -

Could you tell me, please,

where is number 47?

Right here.

This is the place.

And where will I find

mr. Wagner?

Second floor,

on the right.

Thank you.

Eh,

what are you looking for?

The servant's entrance.

There isn't any.

Right up the front stairs.

Me?

Yes.

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

Yes.

By the way, karl,

if a mr. Grump calls -

I beg your pardon, sir.

Would that be mr. Charlie, sir?

Yes, karl,

that would be mr. Charlie.

I think I know

what to say to him, sir -

That you've gone out

and you will not be back,

That you're in bed

and you cannot be disturbed,

That you have moved away, and at

present, you are at conference.

You might also add I've gone to

africa for an indefinite period.

In a word, sir, you don't

especially desire to see him.

Oh, that's very close to it,

karl.

You may remember the last

little visit he paid us.

Indeed I do, sir.

He dropped in for 10 minutes -

And stayed two months.

Uh, nine weeks, sir.

And if you'll permit me,

Three of our best shirts

disappeared along with him.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, excuse me, sir.

I'll get my coat.

You better let me take it, karl.

I'm on my way out anyway.

Thank you.

I am to

deliver the letter -

Paul.

Katerina.

What are you doing here?

Well, this is my place.

I- I work here.

Mr. Wagner's

gone for the day.

Are those your clothes?

They -

they belong to mr. Wagner.

Then you go right into your room

and take them off.

Suppose mr. Wagner

should come in? Hmm?

Mm-hmm.

That's right.

Come inside

while I change.

Get me your uniform

and get out of here.

Yes, sir.

Sit down, katerina!

Sit down?

In the living room?

There's no one here!

No.

In the kitchen, yes.

But not in the living room.

How do you like the place?

Oh, it's very nice,

but not as nice as ours.

How many rooms have you?

Five.

Mm. We have 12.

How many servants?

I've only -

I'm the only one.

Only you?

Oh, then -

then you must work very hard.

I don't kill myself.

Oh.

So I see.

How did you know

where I lived?

I didn't know.

I - oh, paul.

I see you

and I forget everything.

I came to give this

to mr. Wagner.

Oh.

Paul, what are you doing?

You mustn't do that!

Do what?

Oh!

Oh, of course not.

What am I thinking of?

But what shall I do?

I've got to wait for the answer.

I'll tell you

what we'll do.

I'll phone him at his club

and read it to him.

In the meantime,

we'll have coffee.

That's a good idea.

Oh, paul, you're cl-

put that down.

This minute.

And we are not going to use

those beautiful new cups either.

They're not new.

They're over 100 years old.

Oh, well,

that's different.

It's an antique, katerina.

It's much more valuable

than a new one

Because

they can't be replaced.
