The Yellow Rolls-Royce Page #10

Synopsis: Three stories about the lives and loves of those who own a certain yellow Rolls-Royce: **First purchased by the Marquess of Frinton for his wife as a belated anniversary present, the Marchiness finds her own use for the vehicle - one which prompts her husband to sell the car in disgust. **Gangster Paolo Maltese's moll, Mae, thinks the Rolls is a "classy" car in which to tour Paolo's home town in Italy. When Paolo is called away to the States to finish some "business", a bored Mae takes the Rolls on a spin through the country, enjoying both the sights and the handsome Italian photographer who crosses her path. **By the outbreak of World War II, the car has come into the possession of socialite Gerda Millet. While on her way to visit Yugoslavian royalty, Gerda and the Rolls become (at first) unwitting and then (eventually) most willing participants in the Yugoslavian fight.

Yes, I'm perfectly all right.

I did get off the road, didn't I?

You'll be remembered in this place

for a very long time.

I think they'd raise a statue to you

if they could.

Not dressed like this, I hope.

Indeed, I hope, just like this.

I'm sorry you have decided

that I must go.

I should have thought...

Well, I would rather have hoped...

No.

My car is still here.

Why can't I drive it for you?

Because I'm in command here

and I say so.

Yes, I get the point.

You don't need me anymore.

I need you.

If you think I don't and won't always,

perhaps for the rest of my life...

...you are very wrong, Mrs. Millett,

you are very wrong indeed.

But you can't stay here any longer.

My country is at war.

Yours is not.

It will be.

It will be soon.

Can't I be useful to you until then?

You can be useful to us

in only one way now.

Go back to America.

Tell them what you've seen here.

Yes.

Yes, I will.

I'll go at once.

Goodbyes are very tiresome,

and should never, never be prolonged.

They can also be heartbreaking things.

How you exaggerate so.

Hearts are never broken.

They just sometimes get a bit bruised,

that's all.

They always, always mend.

Goodbye, my dear Mr. Davich.

Goodbye, my dear Mrs. Millett.

If after the war, you should need

a car trunk to travel in...

...I trust it will be mine.

Ah, Mrs. Millett.

How nice to have you safely back.

Thank you. Take Duchess, please.

- Have this car sent back to America.

- Certainly.

- Gerda.

- Hortense.

Oh, Gerda, I'm so glad to see you.

The consul told me you were

on your way, but I never expected...

You look perfectly all right.

Of course I look perfectly all right.

I am perfectly all right.

We heard such terrible things

about how you got stranded up...

...in some terrible village

in the mountains.

That was not a terrible village.

Very picturesque.

I might quite well go back there

for a visit after the war.

Well, I worried so about you...

...because of my time

in the Spanish Civil War...

Yes, I know,

with all those Moroccan soldiers.

Well, you needn't have worried

about me at all.

Nothing happened whatsoever.

Nothing at all?

Nothing at all.

Terence Rattigan

Sir Terence Mervyn Rattigan, CBE (10 June 1911 – 30 November 1977) was a British dramatist. He was one of England's most popular mid twentieth century dramatists. His plays are typically set in an upper-middle-class background. He wrote The Winslow Boy (1946), The Browning Version (1948), The Deep Blue Sea (1952) and Separate Tables (1954), among many others. A troubled homosexual, who saw himself as an outsider, his plays centred on issues of sexual frustration, failed relationships, and a world of repression and reticence. more…
