What's New Pussycat Page #6

Thank God you came when you did. He

was talking. Next thing you know - bang!

Just because I speak frankly about my

problems doesn't mean I'm a pushover.

No.

There is more to love

than just physical excitement.

- Respect, for instance, is very important.

- Oh, very important.

Don't think I don't appreciate those things.

Like finesse, atmosphere...

Atmosphere.

- You agree it is important?

- Very important.

Two people in a romantic setting,

soft light, music, champagne.

- Perhaps even incense burning.

- Oh, incense is beautiful.

This is all very important to me.

Only then can I give myself.

But not before.

Who would have

ever thought... in an elevator?

It's the safest place in the worid,

provided the combined weight of the

two people does not exceed 1400 pounds.

It was hell, but we'll be fine.

Thank you, we'll be fine.

Very kind. We'll be absolutely fine.

Ah.

Come away with me

for the weekend.

- Where?

- Chateau Chantelle.

Oh, how lovely. We could fish

and hunt and ride and swim and...

And all in my room.

# Here I stay...

# I'll be what you want me to be

# All that I ask is that

you just keep loving me

Michael! Carole wasn't in

so we thought we would try here.

- O-o-oh, Mr and Mrs Werner.

- Didn't Carole tell you we were coming?

O- oh, yes, yes, yes, yes.

Marole mumming... C-Carole coming.

Call me Mother.

Miss Lefebvre!

I can stand it no longer!

For the love of you, I die.

Ah!

- Do you have any salt?

- What was that you said?

- Do you have any salt?

- Have I got any salt?

I got a boat, I got kerosene,

matches, firecrackers,

two swords und this flag,

but I ain't got no salt!

- Do you always eat here?

- Once a year. On my birthday.

- Your birthday tonight, huh?

- Yeah, I'm 29 today.

29?

What a night I should pick. Look.

I've got something I wish to do in private

without people looking. Would you mind?

Go ahead. I'm just gonna sit here,

grab a bite, and run.

I can't go ahead while you're hanging

round eating food, you naughty thing.

- Just do whatever you have to do.

- You're a selfish gourmet.

What are you doing over there?

What is that? What's that? A flare?

What are you doing here?

What's going on? What's going on here?

Why don't you shut up, you cretin?

I'm trying to commit suicide.

Set fire to my beautiful

psychoanalyst body

und sail out to sea, ablaze like a Viking!

- You're a doctor?

- I'm a doctor of the mind.

Really? I have terrible emotional

problems. Could you help me?

You certainly picked a very odd time

to ask, just in the middle of a suicide.

All right. But you'll have to lay down

cos I can't do it standing up.

- Lay down? This is a rented tuxedo.

- I don't care what it is. Lay down.

I can't do it standing up. Get in there.

Lay right flat out in the boat.

There's Carole.

- Hello.

- Ah, it's Mr Overactive Glands.

- Listen...

- Get off me.

I have got my own life to lead, and I

told you I never wanted to see you again.

Stay in your own apartment and lead

your own life and let me live mine!

Darling! Guess who's here?

Mother and Father!

Mother! Dad! When did you get here?

The roads were clear, we got in a little

early. Michael has been entertaining us.

- Yes, yes, he's a marvellous host. I just...

- Let's not go into that now.

Let's go out. The night's young,

your parents have to leave tomorrow.

Yes, let's celebrate.

I adore this city, it's magnificent.

I don't remember when you two

said you were going to get married.

- We didn't give you a date, Mama.

- Oh.

I could've sworn you wrote

it will be next month.

- Didn't she write that?

- I didn't remember any date.

We really are taking steps

to facilitate proceedings

in a mature and deliberate way.

- Did you get a blood test?

- When we are ready we'll let you know.

I'm in love with a girl and she doesn't

love me, she loves some other guy.

- And I'm just in the way.

- Oh. Oh, I see. Yes, yes.

What do you think I ought to do?

- Well, why don't you buy a sports car?

- A sports car?

Yeah, a nice little two-seater. French,

German, Italian thing. Goes "vroom".

You know, they love it.

Sign of man's virility.

- Perhaps you ought to get two, maybe.

- I can't drive.

Ah, well, you knock a few people down.

The main thing is you get the girl.

That's all that matters.

You know, for a doctor,

you sound terribly unethical.

Unethical?

What do I give a damn about ethics? Huh?

My father, the most beloved

gynaecologist in Vienna,

as they took him away for indecent

exposure at the State Opera House,

said, and I quote:

"Please do not take me away,

I will not do it again."

- Brilliant quote.

- He was a brilliant pervert.

- Listen, it's my birthday.

- You told me that.

- Can we get back to it?

- What about my funeral?

Let's do your funeral first,

then my birthday.

It's a bargain.

You any good at wrapping?

Yeah, I used to work

at a department store. Why?

Maybe you could help me

get wrapped up in that flag there.

- Grab one end.

- You know how to do this?

It's a cinch. I used to wrap packages.

- All right. Wait a minute, wait a second.

- Got it? Try and get it now.

Go ahead. All right?

- No, no, no.

- Hm.

- Again.

- Uh...

I don't want to be a Viking.

- Why don't we get something to eat?

- Good idea.

Are you upset cos you're a sissy?

A haircut, a gym, you'll be great.

Nothing to do with the haircut!

We've had a wonderful time!

We'll go to our hotel and get some sleep.

- Bye, Daddy!

- Thank you for everything.

- Bye, Mama.

- Goodbye.

- Come on, Mother.

- Thank you.

We're leaving noon tomorrow. Today!

- Remember, you will get married.

- Yes. Goodbye, Mother.

We are going away for

the weekend. Our second honeymoon!

Drive carefully.

Bye.

- Goodbye, now.

- Goodbye!

Goodbye.

Bye.

- Tonight was fun.

- Yes.

I haven't felt so relaxed for a long time.

- You were marvellous with my parents.

- Oh, I like them.

- They adore you.

- Really?

Well...

It was nice seeing you again.

- Carole...

- Yes?

Let's get married.

- You are... drunk.

- No, I'm sober.

I mean it. Let's get married.

- Just like that?

- Just like that.

I can't tell you anything

but, suddenly, I'm sure.

- Suddenly you're sure?

- Suddenly I'm very sure.

Will you marry me?

- Like when?

- This week?

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday...?

Oh, you want me to pick a date?

I adore you.

I'm positive. Certain.

I want you

more than anything in the worid,

pussycat.

Pussycat.

How about Monday?

Monday.

Absolutely!

Oh, what a fool I've been.

I've searched and searched

and sampled every girl I could find.

Now I see that fulfilment does not come

from short, physical, random adventures,

Author's message:

But from a deep relationship which

is quite often under one's very nose.

I love you, love you, love you, love you.

- Pussycat.

- Let's make it early Monday.

- Oh, I've wasted so much time.

- I can't believe that I've finally caught you!

You have my word as an inveterate cheat.
