The Merry Widow Page #4

Girls, the gentleman wants to

be entertained.

Here they are.

All your little tonight

and not a tomorrow among them.

Goodnight, deary.

I deserve your scolding.

I should have known better.

Goodbye to you, Maxim's.

I've got to live in dream.

You give me what a splendid,

but now the game has ended.

I give you to Zuzu, Cloclo, Margo

Crucru, but I have lost its spirit

I leave Maxim's to you.

I could not believe it all,

but that's all widows are given.

And if you're poor ones

or the rich ones,

we much more attractive that way.

We are a widow, a merry widow,

a merry widow, like as before.

Where is Captain Danilo?

He, ah...

Don't lie to me. Where is he?

He left.

He left?

He left.

How long ago?

Yesterday.

You mean he hasn't come back

since last night?

Yes, sir.

Oh. Oh. Oh, dear, dear.

What am I going to do with her?

Please, don't kill her.

Forgive her, sir.

I'm sure

she can explain everything.

Who?

Your wife, sir.

Who do you think I am?

The husband, aren't you?

I am the Marshovian ambassador.

Oh. Then I must tell the truth.

Yes, what is it?

Captain Danilo left last night

and he hasn't come back.

Oh. What will I do?

What will I do?

If you don't mind, sir,

I still say forgive her.

I'm not married.

I'm not looking for my wife.

I'm looking for Captain Danilo.

Where is he?

Your excellency,

you may think I'm stubborn,

but he left last night

and he hasn't come back.

You find him.

You go to every nightclub,

every cafe, every... Here.

Here are some addresses.

If Captain Danilo doesn't appear

immediately here in the embassy,

he'll be court marshaled

Oh, yes, your excellency.

Listen.

Don't you lose those addresses.

No, your excellency.

Captain. Captain. It's me.

Miska, Captain. Miska.

Yes. Your uniform. Uniform.

Uniform for your captain.

Embassy.

Court marshal, captain.

Nice, captain.

Nice, captain. Nice, captain.

He won't let me put on

his uniform.

Danilo...

No...

Come on, hush.

Hush.

No... I'm not going

to make love to that widow.

Can you imagine ordering someone

to make love?

That's the army.

I never heard of such a thing

and I've been with

the army all my live.

Do you have to marry her, Danilo?

It's a secret.

Don't tell it, Captain.

It's a secret.

If I don't marry her, Marshovia,

Marshovia will be bankrupt.

That's a secret, too.

And I'm not going to tell you.

He'll be court marshaled

if he did not go.

Fifi. Where are you, Fifi?

If she really loves you,

she'll come back,

but she's not a lady.

I once knew a lady

who came back twice.

Alright. Alright. I'm not going.

He's going to be shot.

Please tell him to go

to the embassy.

No, I won't. I won't.

Maxim's. That's where Fifi is.

I'm going to Maxim's

and nothing can stop me.

Yes.

I'm going to Maxim's.

Any news?

No, your excellency.

Is this him?

No. No. No. Didn't I tell you

exactly what he looks like?

Yes, sir.

Oh. Just a moment. Don't...

I'm not going to make love with

that widow.

Another a cup of coffee.

I'm perfectly sober.

Drink it.

I'm in full possession of

all my sanity.

Drink it.

But I'm not going to make love

with the widow.

Drink that coffee.

I'm in love with another woman.

Who is she?

I don't know.

Drink that coffee.

No. Drink that coffee.

I'm a soldier. I'm an officer.

My duty is to fight.

I'm willing to die on

every battlefield,

but I'm not going to drink

another cup of coffee.

In the name of his majesty,

King Augment the Second,

Commander-in-Chief of the Army,

High Admiral of the Navy,

drink that coffee.

Now, you stay here

and face the widow.

And now, we come to

the room, madam,

where King Augment say

to Queen Dolores

for the first time,

the historic words "I love you".

Please, madam.

Well. What a surprise.

Captain Danilo.

Well, of all people.

How did you get here?

When did you arrive?

Oh, yes, what a coincidence.

What a coincidence.

I thought he was in Marshovia.

And yes, Captain Danilo.

Madam Sonia,

may I present my dearest friend,

none other than Captain Danilo.

What a pleasure, madam.

It is?

It's small, it's afraid.

Meeting you is the greatest good

that would happen to me.

Madam, may I ask a favor?

Shall I lift my veil, Captain?

Oh, no, madam. No.

I don't jump over

the garden walls anymore.

Since when?

Since yesterday.

I fell in love with a girl madly,

but she disappeared.

And you, madam,

are the only one in the world

that can help me find her.

Her name is Fifi.

Fifi is no more. You killed her.

After she left you last night,

she came home

and committed suicide.

She jumped into cold bath,

and you'd be surprised, Captain,

what a cold water can do.

Just a moment.

Another telegram to his majesty.

Following his accurate statement

of happenings.

Copy word. Introduction performed

Widow accused Danilo of murder

but was willing to lift veil.

Couldn't understand the rest of

conversation as both talked

in code, and shhhh...

At the moment, both are standing

in the garden door.

If he could only get her into

the garden,

he whisper something in her ear.

Apparently, something nice.

She gets very angry

in fact, she's furious.

She opens the garden door.

She goes into the garden.

He follows.

Victory. Victory. Victory.

I love you, Sonia.

Well, I noticed it last night.

Oh, please. I'm mad about you.

Everybody is.

I've heard it at least

a hundred times tonight,

and everybody wants to marry me.

There must be something wonderful

about me.

What is it that fascinate

all these men?

What can it be?

Is it my charm, or my beauty, or

do you suppose it's my position?

You mean, your money?

Yes.

I don't know about the other men,

but with me,

it's strictly your money

and nothing else.

I believe you.

I knew you would.

That's why I said it.

If you have told me last night

who you were,

if I had only know that I had in

my arms the richest widow, I'll...

What did you come to

Maxim's for anyway?

Oh, I see. Just like a man,

looking for a thrill.

Goodbye, Captain.

A telegram to his majesty.

Just came out of the strawberry.

Big doings in garden.

Overheard whole scene

but could not understand a word

because wind was against me,

and yet...

Telegram, your excellency.

It's from his majesty.

It's in code.

Zizipoff. Get your excellency.

The first word is Darling.

What does it mean?

D...

Da... Da... Darling,

I consider you the greatest idiot

in the diplomatic service.

What is the next word,

your excellency?

Lilac time.

Lilac time.

Azratevitch.

Yes, your excellency.

Go to my bedroom.

In the cabinet behind

his majesty's picture,

there's a little brown bottle

of poison.

Throw it away.

It's protective measure.

Yes, your excellency.

Read it again, slowly.

I consider you the greatest idiot

in the diplomatic service.

A diplomat who does not know

what is going on under

his very roof is unfit

to be under the lower name

of Potpot.

It is hard to believe that

you are the son of

the great statesman, Potpot.
