The Men in Her Life Page #7

I can't do it.

I don't know what to say, David.

I just have to believe, you're right.

That's all.

It doesn't make me happy

to be right.

All right then.

Just one thing I would ask from you.

-What is it?

Will you bring Rose to see

my dance Friday night?

Oh, it couldn't possibly

hurt her, David.

I wouldn't even see her.

Just to know that she was the only

audience watching me.

Would help me so much, David.

Is it that important to you?

-Yes, it is.

We'll be there

- Thank you.

Come close, Marie!

She is marvellous, she is wonderful!

She could jump on heaven like

a feather, like a bird, like an angel

Come on. You've never

seen like this before

And they are going mad,

they are yelling!

Come on!

You will see ... a pizza!

Perfect.

She's dancing like ...

like Varsavina.

Bravo!

Isn't she marvellous, daddy?

And she is so beautiful too!

Thirty curtain calls. In London there were only 18,

in Budapest 12

In Heaven Dale it will be 30 like tonight.

I don't want to see anyone, Marie.

Of course. You must rest now.

Oh, what is the matter with them?

Stupid Victor, I gave him order before.

Mr Gibson is outside.

And she is with him.

Rose?

- Yes

No, I can't see her. Send them away, Marie.

She's gone mad, she is praying to see you.

But she should never know me.

Please, send them away!

She is not asking to see her mother.

She wants to see Varsavina.

I am tired, I am pale.

She will not see you. She will see

someone who dances like an angel.

How do you do.

- How do you do.

I hope, I am not intruding.

My name is Gibson.

My daughter was so delighted with

your beautiful dancing,

that she asked to meet you.

Her name is Rose

Rose, this is Mme Varsavina.

How do you do, madame.

Come here, Rose.

Sit down.

So, you liked my dancing.

- Oh, yes, I never saw anything like it.

Even when I dreamed. You are just

wonderful. - Thank you.

I just love dancing.

I asked my daddy once, if I can get lessons.

But he said "Not right away"

But when I grow up,

I'm going to dance.

And I hope, I'll dance just like you.

You really do love dancing, don't you?

- Oh, yes. With all my heart I love it.

I see.

You know, I have all your pictures.

I cut them out of magazines

I have Lost Princess and The White Rose.

Oh, I have more in a grey big book.

May I ask you for a favour, madame?

- Oh, yes, please do.

If you can give me something that

belongs to you:
a ribbon or ... anything,

it will mean everything in the world to me.

Marie, bring my slippers.

The slippers that you wore tonight, madame?

- Yes, Rose

Oh, madame!

Here they are, Lina.

Here, Rose.

Oh, thank you. They are wonderful.

Oh, Rose! Oh, my little Rose!

I am so sorry, Rose. I have a little girl.

She looks like you and you reminded me her.

And now, if you excuse me.

I had a very tired day.

Quite certainly.

Thank you for being so gracious to us.

Rose, say Goodbye to Mme Varsavina.

- Good bye, madame.

I hope, I'll see you soon.

(David) I hope so. Get your muff.

Will you take care of Rose for a minute?

- Yes Mr Gibson. - I'll be right back.

Lina!

Hello, Andrew

- Good day, sir.

And one, two, three, four

Lower your arm... three, four.

One, two...

Mommy, how long do I have to do this?

If you want to be a good dancer, darling,

all your life... Now once more.

One, two, three, four, on your toe...
