[00:02:12]Don't Good morning.

[00:02:30]>> Good morning.

[00:02:40]>> Before we begin our studies, I have some sad news to tell you.

[00:02:46]Your fellow classmate Hector is no longer with us. And do you know why? The fool. Idiot. He got himself pinched. They nabbed him in the subway for trying to relieve a man in his wallet. As ungracefully, may I say, as a hippopotamus. I warned him. I told him.

[00:03:03]Hector. I said, "You haven't practiced enough. Your fingers are too stiff."

[00:03:07]>> The sap will be lucky if he gets off for three months in the clean. How many times do I have to remind you that I will not tolerate slang in my classroom?

[00:03:14]Not the mention of prison either. Lou, throw the curtains. Not for all. This unfortunate incident proves that you're not paying the proper attention to your studies. Martin number two. Go on. You two hurry.

[00:03:30]We'll start today with the inside coat pocket. The one that cost poor Hector his freedom. Thank you. All right. Come on.

[00:03:45]>> Yes, you. Of course. Come on. Hurry. He isn't going to open his coat for you.

[00:03:50]>> The right hand. The right hand. Right hand brushes lightly. Very flat. Come on. Go to it.

[00:04:02]Well, I can see where Hector is going to have company. Look at these fingers.

[00:04:05]When you came here, they were long and graceful. Now they're like sausages.

[00:04:10]I think you too well. Silence. He's seated.

[00:04:15]>> Marinette, you come here.

[00:04:40]Did you notice the dexterity of the fingers? The graceful touch. If you were all as serious as Marinette, if you applied yourselves and really worked hard.

[00:04:49]>> Who is it?

[00:04:49]>> Professor, can you spare a moment?

[00:04:53]>> Someone downstairs.

[00:04:56]>> Continue.

[00:05:10]Good day, sir.

[00:05:11]>> M.

[00:05:12]>> Oh, I've come an answer to the ad you run in the paper. Job.

[00:05:16]>> Jobs with a brilliant future for hardworking serious young people. Huh?

[00:05:20]>> That's it. I wish I could have a chance at it. But I have no money for fees.

[00:05:25]>> I take care of expenses while you're learning. In exceptional cases, my students are even housed and fed. Oh, it sounds good.

[00:05:33]>> What's your trade?

[00:05:34]>> Unemployed, but I used to be a mechanic.

[00:05:38]>> Identification papers.

[00:05:39]>> Oh, I need papers.

[00:05:42]>> Huh? What do you think?

[00:05:44]>> Of course. Uh, silly.

[00:05:51]But I must have left it at home.

[00:05:54]>> Home? Where is your home?

[00:05:55]>> Well, it's you know, >> you have no home.

[00:06:00]I'm afraid you're right.

[00:06:02]>> No home, no papers. I'm sorry, but under the circumstances.

[00:06:07]>> Please, sir, won't you change your mind?

[00:06:09]>> It's no use. No home, no papers.

[00:06:11]Impossible. Good day.

[00:06:12]>> But I will do anything. I will Good. Good. I was afraid you'd gone. My man, I have reconsidered.

[00:06:52]>> Oh.

[00:07:04]>> Oh. Over what?

[00:07:06]>> Listen, a short while ago, there was a 50 Frank note here on this desk, and now it's in your pocket.

[00:07:11]>> I swear.

[00:07:12]>> Good. Good. Very good. And the expression, the indignation is perfect.

[00:07:16]You have to fool anybody but not me or the police.

[00:07:20]>> Do you know what they do with a little nobody like you without identification papers? If a respectable gentleman like me reported that you'd stolen his 50 Franks, >> professor, don't tell me, please. It's the first time I ever stolen anything.

[00:07:33]>> Excellent. Simply excellent. You certainly show possibilities. But no more nonsense. Now give me back my 50 Franks. Come on. Come on.

[00:09:50]>> Oh, well, I'm 21.

[00:09:54]Naturally, you have identification papers.

[00:09:58]>> I didn't know I to have papers.

[00:10:01]>> Of course.

[00:10:58]Well, my dear, I think we shall get along famously.

[00:11:03]>> Really? You think so much?

[00:11:05]>> Yes. What's your name?

[00:11:07]>> Arlet. Arlet Nefong.

[00:11:09]>> Arlet Lefong. Well, my dear Arlet, I first of all, give me back my 50 Franks.

[00:11:14]50 Franks.

[00:11:16]>> Yes, my 50 Franks.

[00:11:23]>> What are you hiding?

[00:11:30]>> I'm sorry, mister, but I was so hungry and >> But you will give me the job, won't you please?

[00:11:37]>> I thought I could, but you've disappointed me.

[00:11:40]>> But I'm a good worker. Please give me the job. I was so hungry and expensive.

[00:11:44]I'm just as sorry as you are not to be able to use you.

[00:11:46]>> You're frank and honest. I like that.

[00:11:49]But it's not enough.

[00:11:51]>> Good day, Mitch.

[00:11:53]>> Wait a minute.

[00:11:56]What's this?

[00:11:57]>> Oh, there. There's just handkerchief.

[00:11:59]>> Yes, a handkerchief right out over a form school. I know the kind very well.

[00:12:04]Where did you escape?

[00:12:07]>> So, hey, you're number 497, eh?

[00:12:15]Yes, sincere. I lied to you. I'm only 18. When my parents died, I went to live with my aunt and she was mean to me. She beat me. Then she got married and there were two to beat me. That's why I ran away. They had me put in that reform school and it was just like a prison.

[00:12:27]That's why I ran away from there, too.

[00:12:28]Oh, please, Mir, don't turn me in. I'm not a bad girl.

[00:12:30]>> Couldn't be with those eyes. And that expression, let me see your hands.

[00:12:36]Mm- >> these hands and what I can teach you are no limit to your possibilities. Come along.

[00:12:43]All right. Now that you've been caught in the act, what would you do? Come on.

[00:12:46]What would you do?

[00:12:48]Put it away. All right, my dear.

[00:12:53]What would you do?

[00:12:54]>> Uh, ask forgiveness and swear never to do it again.

[00:12:58]>> No. No.

[00:12:59]>> Play innocent. Deny everything.

[00:13:02]>> Play innocent and deny everything.

[00:13:05]>> That's right. That's right. Of course, you must deny everything. and you must deny it not only fervently but convincingly. But don't rely on your voice alone. Complete innocence must be written all over your face. And to achieve this effectively, we'll once more run through those exercises which are somewhat similar to those used by professional actors. We'll start with you.

[00:13:25]>> Me, sir, you're mistaken, sir. It's not me. I swear it on the head of my father.

[00:13:29]>> Zero.

[00:13:31]My darling, we'll try you. But uh with a little idly motion, please.

[00:13:35]>> Yes, sir. Me, sir? You're mistaken, sir.

[00:13:39]It's not me. IT'S NOT ME. I SWEAR IT. I SWEAR IT. I SWEAR IT ON THE HEAD OF MY FATHER. I DIDN'T DO IT.

[00:13:45]>> I don't blame you for laughing.

[00:13:47]>> I ask you to emotion your fellow like a sick cough.

[00:13:53]>> Eve, you try with a little less emotion.

[00:13:58]>> Me? Sir, you're mistaken, sir. It's not me. I swear it on on the head of my father. You swear it on the head of your father just as if you were openly confessing your guilt.

[00:14:10]>> But it gives me the Jetus to swear that.

[00:14:11]>> No. Why?

[00:14:12]>> Because my old man is still alive.

[00:14:17]>> He's in a poor house, but he's still alive.

[00:14:20]>> The old man's still alive. That's too bad. What do you want me to do about it?

[00:14:23]Wait.

[00:14:26]My dear. You try it.

[00:14:29]>> Me, sir? Oh, you're mistaken, sir. I didn't do it. I swear on the head of my father. That's it. That's it. That's convincing. Come around here, my dear.

[00:14:38]That's right. Show them. Here we are.

[00:14:40]That's right. Now, innocence, astonishment, anger, fear, pleading.

[00:14:50]Bravo, let bravo. Bravo.

[00:14:54]That's your homework for tonight. You'll need each practice that exercise diligently in front of a mirror until you can do it as our does. Dinner in a short while. Lights out as usual at 9:00. Pass dismissed.

[00:15:06]>> Me, sir.

[00:15:07]You are mistaken, sir. It's not me. It's not me. I I swear.

[00:15:15]Oh, it's not good.

[00:15:18]Once more.

[00:15:20]Oh, me. Sir, you're mistaken. It's not me.

[00:15:29]It's not me. I swear it on the head of my father.

[00:15:35]I'm innocent. I'm innocent.

[00:15:38]Oh, >> shut up. Let me get a little sleep around here.

[00:15:41]>> Ah, shut up yourself.

[00:15:44]>> Who's there?

[00:15:45]>> It's me.

[00:15:49]>> Oh, am I keeping you awake, too?

[00:15:53]>> No, that >> that's good.

[00:15:58]It's no use.

[00:16:00]When I lie, everybody knows it.

[00:16:03]>> Maybe I ought to go into politics where it doesn't matter.

[00:16:09]>> Tell me, how do you do it?

[00:16:12]>> I make believe like an actress in the play.

[00:16:18]But the thought of stealing, I'll never be able to do it.

[00:16:25]>> Whoa.

[00:16:27]Why are you here in this place for?

[00:16:31]And where would you go? Back to the reform school.

[00:16:36]You can't get a job without identification paper. You know that.

[00:16:42]See, have you ever thought of marriage?

[00:16:47]>> Why? Naturally.

[00:16:49]>> That's it. Marriage. A white marriage.

[00:16:54]>> A what?

[00:16:57]A white marriage, just a ceremony. You never see the groom again. Perfect marriage.

[00:17:04]Now listen, once you are married, your husband is responsible for you. They can't put you back in the reform school. You beat the rap.

[00:17:15]>> Oh, >> well, who would I marry?

[00:17:20]>> That's something I wouldn't know.

[00:17:24]You see, >> I'd be glad to help you, but I haven't got any papers either, but I know a guy who arranges marriages like that.

[00:17:34]>> Well, come on. What are we waiting?

[00:17:35]>> Hey, not so fast. Got money.

[00:17:37]>> How much?

[00:17:38]>> 3,000 Franks.

[00:17:39]>> 3 Well, where would I get money like that?

[00:17:43]>> That's what you're here for. To learn how?

[00:17:47]>> To steal.

[00:17:51]To steal. To stay honest.

[00:17:55]But that I'll do it.

[00:18:22]Taxi taxi taxi taxi taxi taxi taxi taxi.

[00:19:00]Heat. Heat.

[00:19:06]Heat. Heat.

[00:19:39]the circumstances which cause the downfall of some unfortunate just so you in your decision I beg of you to be venient. I have listened attentively to the testimony of both sides and after weighing the evidence carefully I am ready to handle my decision.

[00:19:58]Whether this is the first time you have stolen or not is beside the point. The undisputed fact is that you have stolen.

[00:20:04]The law does not say that when you put your hand in your neighbor's pocket to take his property, he must apologize to you because you have never done it before. Nor does it say there is no guilt because you had what seemed an important reason for stealing his property. After all, he may have just as important a reason for keeping his property.

[00:20:22]>> Yes, your honor, I agree. And there is no excuse for my kind discussion regardless of his explanation of his desperate circumstances.

[00:20:33]But I assure you that now he realizes the seriousness of his offense. And if leniency is shown him by the court, you will not make another mistake. The stolen article has been returned to the owner and the prisoner has not profited by his error.

[00:20:52]And if your honor will be merciful, the prisoner will not forget his duty to society again. I >> I swear I'll never steal again. It was the very first time, your honor. I promise it won't happen again.

[00:21:05]>> I hope you are right. For the next 3 months, I'm going to make sure that you do not do any more stealing. Where you are going, there will be little temptation to steal.

[00:21:15]>> But your honor, >> take the prisoner away.

[00:21:19]>> But your honor, please. Please, no.

[00:21:22]Please. Next.

[00:21:31]>> That's you. If we go now, we'll Mr. Mickey Mouse. Don't you like the Mickey Mouse here? What good will it do to turn me into the police?

[00:21:44]>> This is not police station.

[00:21:50]Sure. I assure you you're making a great mistake.

[00:22:00]Yes, Alex.

[00:22:07]>> Mr. Captain General, your excellency, your highness.

[00:22:23]LET ME GO. LET ME GO.

[00:22:28]But I've got to. It's important. AND I'VE GOT A DATE.

[00:22:34]All right, you can keep me here by force if you want to, but I warn you, I'll I'll do something desperate. I'll I'll complain to the man with a stick pin.

[00:22:50]What I want to know is how long you going to keep me here.

[00:22:54]Well, say something.

[00:23:02]Oh, it isn't. Your conversation bores me, huh? It's just that I'm beginning to lose my patience.

[00:23:22]IF YOU DON'T WANT ME OUT OF HERE, I'll I'll scream. I'll I'll count to three.

[00:23:32]One, two, two and a half.

[00:23:44]Look out.

[00:23:46]Three.

[00:23:56]Oh.

[00:24:10]Oh.

[00:24:21]Ah, Baron Borak, you're at last.

[00:24:26]>> What detained you?

[00:24:28]>> I was with the with the secretary of the interior, your excellency, when I received your message.

[00:24:33]>> Mhm.

[00:24:36]Likely story.

[00:24:39]But really, Borak, not that I mind. You must think of your family, particularly of your niece.

[00:24:46]My niece, but I have known this.

[00:24:48]>> Of course you have, Teresa. My sister is a young woman of irroachable character. Are you sure you >> don't get excited, Morak? Perhaps I should have broken it to you more gently.

[00:24:57]>> But there is. Oh, no. No. Besides, she's homely, but your niece isn't. Look, step.

[00:25:35]Now, let's go over it once again and this time get it right.

[00:25:39]>> I come from Geneva. I went to I attended a girl's boarding house at >> boarding school.

[00:25:45]>> Boarding school. I go back to Geneva tomorrow. This is my first trip to Paris. This is my first ball. This is the first time my feet hurt, too.

[00:25:53]>> And you are?

[00:25:54]>> I'm worn out.

[00:25:56]>> Answer. Who are you?

[00:25:58]>> I am Madmoiselle Allet Chevrolet.

[00:26:03]I let you are my uncle and I am your niece.

[00:26:09]Baron, I mean uncle, who am I going to tell all these lies to?

[00:26:13]>> He's excellent. He hasn't confined it to me. Remember, you were not to utter one word that I haven't taught you. Don't forget, you're supposed to be a lady.

[00:26:26]Heat.

[00:26:29]Heat.

[00:26:39]Heat.

[00:26:54]Heat.

[00:27:09]Heat. Heat.

[00:27:30]Ah, Bor, >> your excellency.

[00:27:32]>> How are you, Baron?

[00:27:33]>> Oh, fine. Fine, your excellency. And I hope you're fine, too, sir.

[00:27:38]>> I'm very well indeed. Thank you.

[00:27:39]>> Oh, I'm glad to hear it, sir. Oh, this is Madmoiselle de Chevier, my niece. So delighted. And why haven't I met this young lady before?

[00:27:52]>> Well, this is my first trip to Paris, and this is my first fall, and I'm going back to Geneva tomorrow.

[00:27:56]>> My dear, a school girl's career is hardly a subject of interest to his excellency.

[00:28:01]>> Ah, but I am most interested. We'll talk about this later on in the evening.

[00:28:07]>> Thank you, your excellency. Would you have permission, sir?

[00:28:41]My dear, excuse me. I must have a word with Borak.

[00:28:54]>> What was that?

[00:28:54]>> Yes. Oh, your excellency. How do I look?

[00:28:58]>> Charming.

[00:29:00]>> I feel charming, too. You know, this is just like a dream.

[00:29:03]>> I didn't bring you here to talk about your dreams.

[00:29:09]>> I uh want you to dance with someone. Oh, who?

[00:29:15]>> That man over there. The one dancing with the lady in black.

[00:29:23]>> Oh, him.

[00:29:24]>> One point.

[00:29:31]>> Oh, he looks very nice. And the lady's beautiful.

[00:29:42]Oh, and do I have to dance with him?

[00:29:45]>> I have to introduce you first.

[00:29:47]>> Oh, but do I ask him right away?

[00:29:50]>> He will ask you.

[00:29:53]>> But suppose he doesn't.

[00:29:54]>> He will. And while you're dancing with him, you will discreetly relieve him of his watch.

[00:30:01]>> Well, that's stealing.

[00:30:02]>> It's a secret mission.

[00:30:05]>> I won't do it.

[00:30:07]>> I must have that watch.

[00:30:09]Well, then swipe it yourself. I've only stolen once and I'm not going to steal again.

[00:30:14]>> Then you'll go to jail for stealing my stick bin.

[00:30:17]>> What you mean? If I don't steal the second time, I go to jail for stealing the first time.

[00:30:22]>> Exactly.

[00:30:25]>> And you an ambassador.

[00:30:28]You ought to be ashamed of yourself.

[00:30:35]Almost there. Yes.

[00:30:49]My dear, this is my wife.

[00:30:53]My wife a baron borax niece, Mr. Push, a young diplomat with a very promising future.

[00:31:03]>> How do you do, man?

[00:31:07]J is a smoother dancer as he is a diplomat.

[00:31:10]>> Don't believe a word of it within.

[00:31:12]>> This is her first ball. You are to be her first partner.

[00:31:16]>> I'm delighted.

[00:31:19]>> My dear, shall we dance?

[00:31:25]The Excellency is placing a great responsibility upon me. I'm afraid I'm unworthy of it.

[00:31:32]Young girl's first ball is a very important event.

[00:31:35]She remembers it all her life.

[00:31:38]>> So I shall be part of your memories.

[00:31:42]And believe me, I'm very proud and flattered.

[00:31:46]>> I didn't know Borak has such a charming need.

[00:31:49]>> Well, he didn't know it himself.

[00:31:50]>> What?

[00:31:51]>> I mean that he's so absent- minded that he never thought to mention her.

[00:31:59]Heat. Heat.

[00:32:38]What time is it?

[00:32:39]>> Am I boring you?

[00:32:40]>> Oh, no. It's just that uh I must join my uncle at 10:00 sharp.

[00:32:44]>> Oh, >> if it's 10:00.

[00:33:17]>> But uh is it 10:00?

[00:33:21]It's only 5 10. Plenty of time yet.

[00:33:35]>> Oh, but if I let you go to your uncle, will you come back quickly?

[00:33:38]>> Oh, I promise.

[00:33:40]>> I'll be waiting for you in the buffet.

[00:33:44]>> Can I finish that caviar sandwich already?

[00:33:45]>> Yes, this year. Funny.

[00:33:48]My dear peer, it's you. What luck?

[00:33:50]>> For whom?

[00:33:51]>> For both of us.

[00:33:52]>> I have the supreme pleasure of seeing you. You have the supreme pleasure of seeing me. But your pleasure is even more supreme than mine because you're about to have the honor of doing me a little favor.

[00:34:00]>> Ah, wait. I'm equal 28, please.

[00:34:03]>> Champagne, aren't you eating? I forgot.

[00:34:05]You've dined, haven't you?

[00:34:07]>> Haven't you? Suppose I told you I hadn't even lunched.

[00:34:10]>> I wouldn't believe you. And I think I know what favor you are going to ask me.

[00:34:14]>> My dear Pierre, you're as good as gold.

[00:34:30]You have it?

[00:34:31]>> Oh, no. No. But I saw it. It's not worth a thing. You'll not even get 50 Franks for it. Believe me, I know.

[00:34:37]>> Would you kindly do as I told you?

[00:34:38]>> But I can get you a much better. It's got diamonds.

[00:34:41]>> No. Don't you worry about what it's worth. That's the one I want. I lose as I tell you.

[00:34:48]All right.

[00:34:49]>> All right.

[00:34:52]She's got mighty funny taste.

[00:34:57]>> Well, you look happy.

[00:35:00]>> I am. Anything special?

[00:35:02]>> Very special.

[00:35:06]>> I couldn't find my uncle, so I hurried back.

[00:35:09]>> Very special. I see what you mean. Oh, and with a little shy, let me introduce to you my worthest friend, Roland Lu.

[00:35:16]>> Enchanted to meet you, mentors.

[00:35:18]>> You should be. Shall we dance?

[00:35:20]>> Here, I'll wait right here. I'm counting on you.

[00:35:24]>> What's this?

[00:35:36]Heat.

[00:35:51]Heat.

[00:36:18]Did you see that?

[00:36:20]>> She got his watch.

[00:36:44]What?

[00:36:45]>> You know, usually at this time I get the most irresistible desire to leave. I stop hearing the music. I stopped listening to the conversation.

[00:36:55]All I seem to hear is the ticking of my watch telling me it's time to go home.

[00:37:03]And tonight, >> tonight I don't even hear my watch.

[00:37:10]>> Oh, there's my uncle.

[00:37:13]Which one?

[00:37:14]>> Pardon me.

[00:37:19]Heat. Heat.

[00:38:06]this time. You got it.

[00:38:23]Are you satisfied, >> my dear? You did me a very great favor.

[00:38:28]>> Was it that important?

[00:38:29]>> Well, you wouldn't understand.

[00:38:30]Naturally, it concerns a grave matter.

[00:38:33]>> Well, now, your excellency, we're even.

[00:38:36]>> Not quite. I still need your services.

[00:38:38]>> Another watch? No, it's just a question of returning this one to its owner.

[00:38:44]>> What did I tell him that I picked it up off the floor?

[00:38:46]>> Not at all. You're going to put it back in his pocket as discreetly as you took it out.

[00:38:50]>> What?

[00:38:50]>> Put it back in his pocket?

[00:38:53]>> Put it back in his pocket?

[00:38:54]>> That should be easy, even for a beginner.

[00:38:59]>> But they never taught us that.

[00:39:10]I wasn't gone very long this time, was I?

[00:39:14]>> Even longer than before. I was getting older by the minute. I kept wanting to look at my watch.

[00:39:22]You must have been away at least.

[00:39:25]>> That's funny. My watch is gone.

[00:39:28]>> Are you sure you had it?

[00:39:30]>> Well, I think so.

[00:39:33]>> Yes. Don't you remember? I showed it to you when it was 5 10.

[00:39:37]>> Oh, that's right. Well, uh, maybe it's in another pocket.

[00:39:42]>> Oh, no. Oh, no. I never >> That's strange. I never put it in that pocket.

[00:39:52]>> Well, my dear, >> where have you been all evening? You keep appearing and disappearing like a magician's rabbit.

[00:39:57]>> Well, you know what an embassy ball is for an ambassador.

[00:40:00]>> I know what a boret is for an ambassador's wife. utterly neglected.

[00:40:03]>> Well, I'm sorry, but now that I'm free of a great burden, I'm completely at your disposal. Will you dance?

[00:40:20]>> I wish Borak, you are not going to take your niece away just for a few minutes.

[00:40:25]I'll be back.

[00:40:37]Your mission is fulfilled. In excellence, he has asked me to tell you how completely satisfied he is with your work and to give you this. Naturally, you will keep all the clothes, everything. And now, my head, good night.

[00:40:51]>> You mean you're kicking me out?

[00:40:52]>> Oh, not at all. Only that your presence here is no longer desirable. Oh, I almost forgot. His Excellency asked me to remind you that he's counting on your discussion, which will ensure you own.

[00:41:05]>> But Baron, can't I go back for just a moment?

[00:41:08]>> No, that is impossible.

[00:41:09]>> But I'd like to >> I'll tell Mosia Dash that my niece wasn't feeling well and that she has asked me to say good night for her.

[00:41:32]And you're forgetting something.

[00:41:42]>> You're forgetting something else.

[00:41:43]Miselle me.

[00:41:46]Oh, I'm sorry, but my uncle uh said it was time for me to go home and that he'd made my excuses.

[00:41:53]>> But it's so early.

[00:41:54]>> I know, but Well, he thought my first ball and I shouldn't stay too late.

[00:41:58]>> Forgive me, but your uncle is approved.

[00:42:02]>> All right. All right, then. I'll take you home.

[00:42:04]>> But I I can't.

[00:42:06]>> Why? You don't think I'd let you go home alone, do you?

[00:42:09]>> But I I'll be all right.

[00:42:10]>> You certainly will be because I'm going with you.

[00:42:36]>> Oh, but it that's all I have on me.

[00:42:38]>> Very well, thanks. Oh, I'll be at your house in the morning. I simply must tell my troubles to somebody.

[00:42:46]>> Not another suit.

[00:42:47]>> Very well then. I have to sleep in a park bench. But don't let that bother you.

[00:42:56]>> Did you call my friend?

[00:42:58]>> Yes. I can't bear to think of you sleeping on a park bench. They are not wide enough. Look, I'm leaving tomorrow night for a week or so.

[00:43:44]>> Well, um, why did you stop here?

[00:43:49]Because I don't want to be interrupted again by your uncle coming back.

[00:43:53]I have something to say to you.

[00:44:00]>> Have you?

[00:44:01]>> Yes.

[00:50:44]>> I saw a gentleman, a very elegant gentleman, and I followed him. Oh, he had a magnificent pearl stick pin.

[00:50:50]>> Oh, that's different. Pearl stick pin, eh?

[00:50:52]>> Uh-huh. I followed him and him until he got on a bus and then I >> mind the details. Where's the pin?

[00:51:48]Gentlemen, it cost me 10,000 Franks to get you into that ball. I'm not in the habit of wasting 10,000 Franks. I worked too hard for my money. I demand an explanation.

[00:51:57]>> We demand one, too.

[00:51:59]>> Now, there must have been a king's ransom in jewels at that ball last night. And you say that you didn't get anything.

[00:52:03]>> Don't tell me.

[00:52:04]>> We don't operate unless we have an exclusive. We don't engage in a freefor-all where somebody slips up and we might get napped.

[00:52:11]>> I tell you there was nobody.

[00:52:14]What are you looking at?

[00:52:17]And you said you didn't know who was there. And would you please explain how one of your pupils could get into the embassy ball unless you had made the arrangements?

[00:52:27]>> Yes, that's the one. The one in the check. That's the girl.

[00:52:37]Ah, bring the model number seven.

[00:53:00]Today we are going to take up some of the problems in the social world.

[00:53:08]Now let my dear come here.

[00:53:43]I'll meet you at the station. Don't forget.

[00:53:46]>> Permit me to introduce Mr. Pierre Dash, a tache at the embassy. I might have known it. A face as honest as yours could only be dishonest, could only lie.

[00:54:04]GET OUT.

[00:54:05]>> GIVE her a chance to explain.

[00:54:11]>> I know I don't know what you stole.

[00:54:12]>> But I didn't steal it.

[00:54:13]>> My men saw you.

[00:54:22]>> Took it. But I put it back.

[00:54:23]>> A liar. Ing. Great. Without me, you wouldn't know how to steal. Now that you do, you want to keep it all. Get out of here, YOU CROOK. GET OUT.

[00:54:31]>> BUT I WILL DO. I'D RATHER BE BACK IN REFORM school than here at your filthy old school. WE COME HERE FOR HONEST JOBS AND YOU YOU MAKE THINGS OUT OF US.

[00:55:04]You stay there.

[00:55:45]>> No, no, I'm I'm not leaving. I just came down to say goodbye and and to >> Goodbye. You are joking. Of course.

[00:55:51]>> No, no, I'm not honest. I'm not.

[00:55:53]>> But that's absurd. When only last night?

[00:55:55]>> I know. A lot of things have happened since last night.

[00:55:57]>> Then when are you leaving?

[00:55:59]>> I'm not leaving at all.

[00:56:01]>> At all?

[00:56:07]>> You see, Flora is disappointed, too.

[00:56:11]Then may I see you when I get back?

[00:56:14]>> No. I'm sorry.

[00:56:17]You don't want to see me again?

[00:56:19]>> Yes. Yes, I do very much. But uh but I I won't be able to see you for a a long long time.

[00:56:26]>> A long long time. Are they going to lock you up?

[00:56:30]>> Yes, they are.

[00:56:30]>> Who? Your uncle?

[00:56:32]>> My uncle?

[00:56:33]>> What are you trying to say?

[00:56:36]>> I'm trying to tell you that I uh that I ran away from a reform school.

[00:56:41]>> Reform school? You don't expect me to believe that?

[00:56:44]>> Yes, I do.

[00:56:47]Did the ambassador tell you why you wanted my watch?

[00:56:50]>> No, he just said it was very important that I get it for him.

[00:56:54]>> You did a terrible thing.

[00:56:56]>> I'm sorry. I >> I must phone.

[00:56:59]>> But wait, your train will be leaving.

[00:57:01]>> Wait for me. Wait for me right there.

[00:57:32]WAIT A MINUTE. WAIT A MINUTE.

[00:57:34]>> BUT IF YOUR HUSBAND saw my watch, he saw your picture in the back. Don't you see?

[00:57:40]>> What do you mean I shouldn't worry?

[00:57:44]Of course I do. But this is no time.

[00:57:50]>> What? Tell you something nice. Tra is leaving.

[00:58:00]What? They found nothing in the compartment. But that's not possible. My papers were there. My briefcase, my baggage. Did they jump out of the window?

[00:58:09]And my dog, Flora. If anything happened to Fluoride, IT'S YOUR JOB TO FIND THEM. THAT'S ALL.

[00:58:18]Nothing in the book.

[00:58:28]>> I brought your things back.

[00:58:30]>> Thanks. Thanks.

[00:58:33]I I I'd be right down.

[00:58:43]I I had to ride all the way to the next station and it was a long walk back.

[00:58:47]>> You shouldn't have done that.

[00:58:49]>> Well, I didn't want you to lose your dog and your luggage on my account.

[00:58:52]>> Sorry I can't open the door. My man thought I'd gone and he locked up everything. I had to climb through a window to get in myself.

[00:58:58]>> Your umbrella.

[00:58:59]>> Thanks. Hey, >> here's your flora.

[00:59:02]>> Where is the girl? How about that? Huh?

[00:59:08]Well, good night.

[00:59:11]>> Where are you going?

[00:59:13]>> Back to the reform school.

[00:59:15]>> At this time of night.

[00:59:16]>> Well, that's all right. You can always get in.

[00:59:19]>> Wait a minute.

[00:59:22]What's the matter? Are you homesick while reform?

[00:59:25]>> Well, that's not it.

[00:59:28]It'll have to be done sooner or later.

[00:59:31]>> What will they do to you?

[00:59:34]First, they'll make me account for every minute I've been away.

[00:59:38]>> Inquisitive.

[00:59:40]And what are you going to tell them?

[00:59:42]>> The truth?

[00:59:44]>> The truth? You're going to tell them about the the embassy ball?

[00:59:51]>> I'll have to.

[00:59:53]>> Well, suppose we talk this over tomorrow morning.

[00:59:56]>> Tomorrow morning? They won't let me have any visitors.

[00:59:58]>> No, I mean, you can stay here tonight.

[01:00:00]Come on. You are dead.

[01:00:01]>> Yeah. Alone with you. I assure you I know how to behave with a young lady.

[01:00:06]>> So I've noticed >> What's the matter?

[01:00:18]>> That stupid servant didn't make up the bed.

[01:00:27]>> Yes.

[01:00:31]Um, >> do you uh mind if I wear this?

[01:00:36]>> I certainly do. Put it back at once. It belongs to my sister.

[01:00:44]>> If I could suggest something. Um, >> you have suggested enough.

[01:00:50]>> Well, I was only going to suggest that you sleep in the other room and I could sleep here. I've slept without sheets before.

[01:00:56]>> Oh, so have I.

[01:00:58]>> Here, let me help you make the bed. No, I don't need your help and I don't want your advice. You were very kind and I am duly grateful Merciboku. Good night. Get the idea.

[01:01:09]Good enough.

[01:01:17]>> Well, what now?

[01:01:19]>> Um, I didn't want to leave the wrong impression with you, so I'd like to finish telling you. No, >> not now. I'm sleepy. Look, I only stole once. No, twice. No, once. Well, anyway, I gave them both back.

[01:01:36]>> So, you gave it back. So, you only stole once. I'll keep that in mind. And now, good night.

[01:01:41]>> Good night.

[01:01:45]>> You know why I stole?

[01:01:47]>> No. And frankly, I >> wanted to get married.

[01:01:51]>> You stole because you wanted to get married.

[01:01:53]>> Yes. I wanted to buy a husband.

[01:01:55]>> To buy what? You know, like a marriage in name only. Can you guess why?

[01:02:01]>> No. And I'm not going to guess. You'll tell me anyway.

[01:02:07]>> Because if I was married, I wouldn't have to go back to the reform school.

[01:02:11]What?

[01:02:12]>> Yes, that's the law. Once you're married, you're free.

[01:02:15]>> Eves told me so.

[01:02:16]>> And who is this Eves who knows so much about the law?

[01:02:20]>> Oh, he's my friend. My only friend. He could have gotten me a husband only I'd have to pay for him. That's why I stole.

[01:02:27]Once I was married, I I could start a new life.

[01:02:30]>> A new life.

[01:02:31]>> Now, do you see?

[01:02:33]>> Not very clearly.

[01:02:34]>> Well, let me explain it to you. It's very >> Oh, no. Not now. It's really too late.

[01:02:37]You can finish telling me about your life tomorrow morning. And now to bed and sweet dreams.

[01:02:44]And if I hear another word out of you tonight, I won't answer for the consequences.

[01:02:54]Bi.

[01:03:03]>> Well, if it isn't Mr. Orin.

[01:03:04]>> Hello there.

[01:03:05]>> How is it, sir?

[01:03:06]>> Hello. You still here?

[01:03:08]>> No, I mean, yes.

[01:03:12]For the love of I completely forgot I offered you my house.

[01:03:16]>> What? Don't you say I can't stay here.

[01:03:19]Why? I checked out of my hotel. It'll be a calamity. Well, you see, it's like this. I that is I will manage somehow.

[01:03:28]>> I have to pay the cat fair.

[01:03:29]>> Well, go ahead.

[01:03:30]>> Yeah. Well, the fact is I uh >> Oh, I get it.

[01:03:35]>> Mhm. Yeah.

[01:03:37]>> Uh-uh.

[01:03:40]And uh bring me the chain. The snowman.

[01:03:44]>> My affairs are in a terrible state. I want to end it once and for all.

[01:03:47]>> It's my sort of butter. Would you like mara?

[01:03:50]>> Oh, not at all. No, I wouldn't end it that way. A man like me doesn't give up the ship. He He fights courageously.

[01:03:56]>> And how much do you need to fight courageously?

[01:03:59]>> About uh 10,000 Franks?

[01:04:02]>> Yes. With 10,000 I can settle everything. I could go to the colonies and start a new life.

[01:04:05]>> A new life? You too?

[01:04:07]>> What do you mean me too?

[01:04:09]>> Tell me.

[01:04:11]>> Are you quite sure that with 10,000 Franks you >> Oh, positively. Of course. With 15,000 I can start a really new life. First class. I think I have a way for you to earn the 10,000.

[01:04:23]>> 15,000.

[01:04:23]>> 10.

[01:04:24]>> Look, my old friend, a really first class new life.

[01:04:26]>> You remember the girl I was dancing with at the Embassy Ball?

[01:04:29]>> Borax's niece?

[01:04:30]>> Yes, that's the one. Only she's not Borax's niece.

[01:04:32]>> Oh, she's not his niece, huh?

[01:04:33]>> She's going to get married.

[01:04:35]>> Really?

[01:04:36]>> To you?

[01:04:37]>> No. To you?

[01:04:38]>> To me?

[01:04:38]>> Yes. To you. And believe me, you'll never find a nicer or more charming girl.

[01:04:50]Good morning.

[01:04:50]>> Good morning. Do you take coffee in the morning?

[01:04:53]>> Yes. You know that is No, I mean not this morning.

[01:05:10]From what you said last night, I gather everything would be fine if only you were married.

[01:05:18]>> Yes, everything.

[01:05:22]>> I've given it a lot of thought.

[01:05:26]After all, you did me a favor and I'm returning it.

[01:05:32]Oh, you don't have to.

[01:05:33]>> Naturally, my friend Roland would only marry you under certain conditions.

[01:05:39]>> Roland.

[01:05:40]>> Yes. Yes, Roland.

[01:05:47]The marriage would be perfectly legal.

[01:05:50]Although, it wouldn't tie either of you down. Immediately after the ceremony, you would each be free to go your own way.

[01:05:58]>> I see. You don't seem very enthusiastic.

[01:06:01]Wasn't this what you wanted?

[01:06:04]Don't you like the idea?

[01:06:07]>> Yes, of course.

[01:06:08]>> Well, then what's the matter with you all of a sudden?

[01:06:12]>> Nothing. Nothing at all.

[01:06:20]>> What are you thinking about?

[01:06:22]>> What happened after the ball?

[01:06:25]When you kissed me? Please, let's not talk about that.

[01:06:42]I can understand Ron is no mood to get excited about, but this might work out very well.

[01:06:49]He isn't a bad fellow when you get to know him.

[01:06:54]The marriage events can be published and the whole thing completed within a week.

[01:07:00]And during that time, of course, you can stay here.

[01:07:06]>> Then I accept.

[01:07:09]>> The car is waiting to take you to the station.

[01:07:11]>> I'm coming.

[01:07:13]>> You're leaving?

[01:07:14]>> Why? Yes.

[01:07:16]>> Where are you going?

[01:07:18]>> To Geneva, of course. Oh.

[01:08:07]Come in.

[01:08:09]>> Mu, they are waiting for you in the conference room. Oh, >> tell them.

[01:08:16]Tell them I'm sorry, but I must go back to Paris immediately.

[01:08:26]>> Hello, John. What can I do for you, sir?

[01:08:28]>> Who the Who are you?

[01:08:31]>> I'm the butler.

[01:08:32]>> Who's butler?

[01:08:33]>> She's barter.

[01:08:34]>> Mr. Who?

[01:08:35]>> M Rush.

[01:08:37]>> Ah, you are MP Rash's butler. Yes, sir.

[01:08:42]That I am.

[01:08:43]>> Is Mos at home?

[01:08:45]>> No, sir. M Push is in Geneva and he probably won't be home until the end of the week.

[01:08:50]>> What is it? I hear those miss are two friends of the boss, a gentleman and a lady.

[01:08:58]>> Mhm. And could I speak to these friends of your boss?

[01:09:03]>> I'll see if they are in, sir. Whom shall I answer, sir? Mr. Pos, the bus. Yes, sir. Oh, I beg you pardon, boss. Welcome home, sir. Would you mind getting my bags in the deck? Yes, sir.

[01:09:18]>> Of course, sir. I do.

[01:09:20]>> Come in, please, sir.

[01:09:25]I can hear why I'm always moving.

[01:09:36]Though the moon is gone from the sky and believe I hear angels pruning when the night wind murmurs aside.

[01:09:53]If it puzzles you just a little, here's a hint that will help you start. You will find the key to my riddle. When you find the key to my heart, do you feel that you're getting near now? If it's not clear now, we'll start again.

[01:10:18]Can you guess why I'm all a tremble?

[01:10:25]Why I walk around in a mist?

[01:10:31]And the girl that I most resemble is the girl who wants to be kissed.

[01:10:42]Can you guess the reason I'm reeling? I touch the ceiling of stars above.

[01:10:57]Must I confess what it is I'm feeling?

[01:11:04]Or can you guess?

[01:11:14]>> Bravo. Bravo.

[01:11:19]>> My, what a pleasant surprise. We hadn't expected you quite so soon.

[01:11:23]>> Hope I'm not intruding.

[01:11:25]>> Oh, how perfectly silly. Of course not.

[01:11:30]>> Oh, >> won't you would sit down?

[01:11:38]>> You are very kind.

[01:11:44]>> Here.

[01:11:46]Hello, good old Pier. How come you're back so soon?

[01:11:49]>> Am I disturbing you too? Uh, >> oh, not at all. Not at all. No, not a very idea.

[01:11:59]price of sharing.

[01:12:00]>> No thanks. Who would have thought it?

[01:12:02]What conduct? What ease? What savvoir fair? A real little woman of the world.

[01:12:06]Eh, you must have given her some lessons.

[01:12:08]>> Oh, I did. I did. I thought as much.

[01:12:11]>> What do you mean?

[01:12:13]>> Tell us about your trip. What are they doing in Geneva?

[01:12:17]>> Well, for one thing, they are not showing their legs the way they are in Paris this year.

[01:12:23]Thank you so much for telling me.

[01:12:25]>> Oh, by the way, uh who is the new butler?

[01:12:27]>> Oh, he's a schoolmate of mine.

[01:12:30]>> A schoolmate from that girl's boarding school in Geneva, no doubt. Has he any identification papers?

[01:12:38]>> Oh, no. But I I can answer for him. He's so anxious to start a new life.

[01:12:42]>> A new life? He too. Certainly looks as if my house had turned into a home for reformed characters.

[01:12:49]>> Oh, thanks, old man. Thanks a lot.

[01:12:52]>> Well, >> you are leaving?

[01:12:56]>> Yes, I'm going to get dressed if you don't mind. You know, like they do in Geneva.

[01:13:03]>> Ah, she's enchanting. Mind you, that girl has brains as well as beauty.

[01:13:09]Let me show you some of those snapshots I took of her with your camera. Not bad for an amateur, eh?

[01:13:16]Oh, very well. It's your loss. Well, in that case, you better get down to serious business.

[01:13:21]>> That's money by any chance?

[01:13:22]>> Yes, this time not for me. Will you realize, of course, I had to buy her something decent to wear.

[01:13:26]>> Bathing suit?

[01:13:27]>> Sunsuit? Naturally, want to do other little things. Can't expect a man like me to marry a woman in rags. Here, here are the bills.

[01:13:40]Frankly, I don't get it. Was it really necessary to buy all this for a girl you'll see for 5 minutes at a marriage ceremony? The fact is, I'm beginning to wonder if our marriage really will be one in name only.

[01:13:54]You know, I firmly believe that the root of all my past troubles has been sheer loneliness. If I could feel someone by my side, always ready to advise, to sympathize, to feel the tender touch of a feminine hand.

[01:14:06]>> You You are joining, of course.

[01:14:07]>> Oh, not at all. Oh, I'll let I get on like a house of fire. And you see the way she snaps up any little hints I happen to drop. Surely you've noticed a change in her department. H not to mention her grammar.

[01:14:22]>> Now look, Roland, just because a girl catches on quickly and and has beautiful legs, that's not enough to build a permanent marriage on. Do you mean to say that charm and grace and femininity aren't important?

[01:14:36]>> Yes, they are. But what do you know about her her family? Oh, we'll go to the colonies. Well, anybody who plays bridge is accepted. I'll teach you the strong no trump.

[01:14:48]>> And what will you live on?

[01:14:50]>> Your money first. You won't go very far.

[01:14:54]Tahiti. You can live on seafood, coconuts, bananas. Ah, those souies are simply enchanting. Canoes, garlands of flowers, lovely native songs, and at night bridge.

[01:16:58]Who's in there?

[01:17:00]>> Who?

[01:17:01]>> Someone or other.

[01:17:03]>> Male or female?

[01:17:06]>> Why should you care?

[01:17:08]>> Look, Eves, you're not playing fair with me.

[01:17:10]>> Don't be a fool. I just don't want you to get mixed up in something that's not your business.

[01:17:17]>> Listen, are we pals? Yes and no.

[01:17:20]>> Of course we are. You know that. But I'm also the sort of servant you approve of.

[01:17:27]Discrete.

[01:17:29]Look for yourself.

[01:17:35]>> Are you afraid, Pierre?

[01:17:37]>> Of course I'm not afraid.

[01:17:40]But it's not exactly comfortable when your husband knows I had your picture in my watch.

[01:17:44]>> But he doesn't know when his jealousy is terrible and he has never been sweeter and more considerate than he is right now.

[01:17:51]>> Not so loud. I beg of you.

[01:17:53]>> Is there someone else in the house?

[01:17:55]>> No, but the servants might hear >> or your secretary.

[01:18:01]>> What will you think of? First of all, she only comes on Wednesday.

[01:18:05]>> Pretty >> hideous.

[01:18:08]fake glasses and pigeon toad.

[01:18:11]>> What do you think of this one for the wedding tomorrow? Oh, I beg your pardon.

[01:18:16]My, what a pleasant surprise. And how is his excellency? Very well, I hope.

[01:18:21]>> Fine. And how is your uncle?

[01:18:24]>> Fine. Fine. I'm afraid I've neglected him a little of late. And now, if you'll excuse me, the dress maker's waiting for fittings. You know, such a deadly boar.

[01:18:34]See you soon, I hope.

[01:18:39]Let me explain. Oh, >> it's quite clear. I understand perfectly.

[01:18:43]>> No, no, it isn't clear at all. You are completely mistaken.

[01:18:47]>> Oh, stop lying and give me back my picture. Now I understand why you invented that silly story which didn't make sense.

[01:18:53]>> This girl means nothing to me. You'll soon be convinced.

[01:18:57]>> Of course not. You're just buying her pretty clothes because you are sorry for her. Pierre, I want my picture back.

[01:19:03]>> I already told you your husband took it.

[01:19:06]Look for yourself.

[01:19:56]Heat. Heat.

[01:20:30]You can be irritating beyond words. What do you want? Haven't I got enough trouble?

[01:20:38]Females. Females.

[01:20:41]Always under your feet or in your hair.

[01:20:44]Nothing but trouble.

[01:20:47]I've got happy mind to trade you in for a male dog.

[01:20:53]Get away. Get away. Go on. Run.

[01:21:15]Poor old funny face. I know I take it out on you, but I don't really mean it.

[01:21:27]>> What shall I do about it?

[01:21:31]>> Here. Where are you?

[01:21:33]>> Oh, there you are. Listen, no, man. I've come from the courthouse. Everything is in order. The bands are published. I must say, it gave me quite a kick to see my name right alongside ours. Oh, by the way, that reminds me, you owe me 300 Franks to cover the cost of the license.

[01:21:44]Here's the itemized account.

[01:21:46]Let's not be hasty.

[01:21:47]>> Well, oh no, this has to be fate at once. You see, these papers are essential to the marriage and the big day is tomorrow. Don't forget, >> there's not going to be any marriage.

[01:21:54]>> No, there's not.

[01:21:57]>> What are you talking about?

[01:21:58]>> I refuse to be a party to this far. It's rather a sudden switch, isn't it?

[01:22:01]>> Sudden.

[01:22:04]For the last two nights, I haven't spent the wink.

[01:22:06]>> Why?

[01:22:07]>> Because because she's on my mind constantly.

[01:22:14]On account of her, I rushed back from Geneva.

[01:22:18]When she's around, I'm seized with a terrible desire to take her in my arms.

[01:22:23]And all I do is to be rude and unkind to her. The whole thing is insane.

[01:22:28]But I can't fight against it any longer.

[01:22:32]You're right, Roland. Career, social position, what do they matter compared to love?

[01:22:38]>> Who's talking now? Oh, come on, man. Put yourself together. It's quite different with me. I could marry Olette because I brought in my social copy book ages ago.

[01:22:47]You'd be amazed the number of houses I'm not invited to. But you, you have a brilliant future, a real career. For you to marry Allet is out of the question.

[01:22:54]Definitely out. And as for anything else, well, believe me, Pierre, it is her one chance to lead an honest life.

[01:23:00]Don't take it away, fa. And don't make a fool of yourself either. Look at me. It was through a series of just such brainstorms that I landed where I am now with a ticket to Tahiti.

[01:23:12]one Maru. She didn't want to come. I asked her. She turned me down. It's up to you, Pierre.

[01:23:20]Let her go.

[01:23:24]>> All right. All right. All right. Go on.

[01:23:27]Marry, but do it quickly. As quickly as possible.

[01:23:42]Article 212.

[01:23:45]Husband and wife owe one another mutual fidelity, mutual sympathy, and mutual assistance.

[01:23:51]>> Article 213, >> the husband as head of the family has a right to designate the place of mutual residence. The wife is obligated to live there with him and the husband in turn to receive her.

[01:24:06]Will the bride and groom please rise?

[01:24:16]Mr. Roland, do you take for your wife Madmoiselle Arlet present here?

[01:24:23]>> Yes, your honor. Yes, I do.

[01:24:28]Do you take as your husband present here?

[01:24:43]>> Excuse me. Would you please read article 213 again?

[01:24:51]The husband head of the family has a right to designate the place of mutual residence. The wife is obligated to live with him there and the husband in turn to receive her.

[01:25:04]>> Oh, >> you mustn't say oh, say yes.

[01:25:09]>> I know.

[01:25:11]>> Madmois, >> do you take as your husband, Mol present here?

[01:25:19]Uh, no.

[01:25:28]>> Excuse us, your honor. My my fiance is a little upset. We'll uh we'll be back another day, I hope.

[01:25:36]Just a moment, madam. Oh, pardon me.

[01:25:38]Matt Moes, I congratulate you. For 30 years now, I have had a monotonous job.

[01:25:46]I've been marrying couple after couple.

[01:25:48]I ask them all the same questions and they all give me the same answers and just when I felt bored to death. You come along and have the courage to say no.

[01:26:00]Bravo, Madmoiselle.

[01:26:02]Believe me, it is much better for a marriage not to come over at all than for it to end in divorce. Bravo.

[01:26:12]>> Thank you.

[01:26:14]Thank you very much, Shana.

[01:26:26]Why are you dressed like that?

[01:26:28]>> If you should ever think of me, I want you to think of me like this.

[01:26:35]>> I will.

[01:26:38]>> That first dance meant so much to me, Pierre.

[01:26:47]One last dance.

[01:26:50]>> I'm already late.

[01:26:52]>> But it will be a memory to put away with the first one.

[01:26:56]Please.

[01:27:00]I think it would be better not to.

[01:27:04]But you don't know how much it would mean to me.

[01:27:09]>> I'd rather not.

[01:27:12]>> Just one last dance.

[01:27:17]Goodbye.

[01:27:35]>> Well, I guess I'll get my things together.

[01:27:39]>> Giving up.

[01:27:42]If I thought it was any use, I'd never give up.

[01:27:45]>> But as things are, >> but as things are a good thing you gave up being a crook.

[01:27:51]There was no future in it for you. You haven't enough insight, enough observation, enough understanding of human nature, enough genua. To be quite frank, you're not bright enough.

[01:28:09]Look, why does a man pace back and forth like this for hours? To exercise? No. Another question. Why does a man stand in front of a mirror like this, staring like this? To admire himself, to catch a glimpse of his neck tie? No.

[01:28:30]Still another question. Why does a man refuse to dance with a pretty girl? Is it such a big thing? No, it's nothing.

[01:28:39]Unless Unless he's in love, then a dance is a big thing. Then he has to fight him because it can lead to Believe me, it can lead.

[01:28:52]>> Well, all right. All right, then. Why shouldn't it lead? Why should he have to fight it? If he loves me, why doesn't he just just say so? It would be so easy and so nice. Because my poor child, it's not true that a man in love forgets everything. 75% positive. For certain emotional type like me, even 80, but never everything in with what is left over, he thinks.

[01:29:22]Now the boss, perhaps he's thinking of the 10 years he studied to be a diplomat. Even to marry you, it's not so easy to toss those 10 years out of the window. But why should he have to toss him out of the window?

[01:29:37]>> Listen, for example, he's on his way to the embassy reception. Could he take you with him?

[01:29:46]>> And why not? Why should he be ashamed of me?

[01:29:49]>> Oh, he should maybe be proud of you. We should maybe present you to the ambassador like this. Uh, you remember this little girl, your excellency? She steals watches. Yeah.

[01:30:03]You mean I'm not good enough? Maybe. H than an ambassador who gets somebody to steal for him. Or his wife who who doesn't love him. Or the baron who's an accomplice to a crime just to keep his own bread buttered. They think I'm not good enough to associate with him.

[01:30:20]Huh? Well, I'll just show Miss Pierre Dash that I can handle the whole mess of them and make them like it.

[01:30:32]E, are you sure? You're very sure that Pierre loves me. I swear it. I swear it on the head of my father.

[01:31:00]Lock.

[01:31:04]Layers.

[01:31:08]Layers.

[01:31:10]Oh, Lance.

[01:31:20]All of them, please.

[01:31:29]Oh, thank you. Thank you, Alex.

[01:31:40]Where is she? Oh, she she's gone. Gone?

[01:31:48]Did she tell you where she was going?

[01:31:49]>> No, sir.

[01:31:52]But she asked where you were going.

[01:31:54]Where >> did you tell her?

[01:31:58]>> Yes, sir. I told her you were going to the to the embassy reception. Good >> sir. Yes.

[01:32:06]>> Shall I put those in water?

[01:32:08]>> Oh.

[01:32:30]Underlying principle that must sky our negotiations is that in fact the situation must be handled with great delicacy.

[01:32:51]Ooh.

[01:32:53]>> What?

[01:32:54]>> Nothing.

[01:32:55]>> You said ooh.

[01:32:56]>> Who? Me?

[01:32:57]>> Yes, you. Why did you say ooh >> in the first place? I didn't say ooh. I said oh.

[01:33:03]>> My dear husband, I'm not deaf. I heard you distinctly say ooh.

[01:33:07]>> My dear. I had no reason to say oo. I simply said oh. Oh.

[01:33:15]>> P baron. Your knee section.

[01:33:17]>> Uncle.

[01:33:19]Hello, uncle.

[01:33:21]>> Oh, your excellency.

[01:33:23]>> This is a pleasure, Madmoiselle. You didn't tell me your charming niece was coming. Come and sit with me, my dear.

[01:33:31]>> Shay, Laron Borax's niece.

[01:33:33]>> He's introducing her as my niece.

[01:33:35]>> Well, isn't she naturally?

[01:33:38]>> Now, explain to me, my dear, why you disappeared so early from the embassy ball the other night?

[01:33:44]Oh. Uh, well, my uncle Darren seemed to think that since it was my first fall, I shouldn't stay too late.

[01:33:56]>> He's an old foggy.

[01:34:02]>> Even now, he's beginning to get that you better go home early look.

[01:34:07]>> It isn't late, is it?

[01:34:09]>> Of course not. Besides you when he just arrived. My what a lovely watch.

[01:34:16]>> Isn't that beautiful?

[01:34:19]>> Watches are my weakness.

[01:34:22]>> Oh, mine too.

[01:34:26]>> Really?

[01:34:36]But may I have the pleasure?

[01:34:40]>> Oh.

[01:34:47]My pleasure. Seniority.

[01:34:50]>> Thank you.

[01:34:54]>> The trouble with seniority is that it's always wasted on old men.

[01:35:03]>> Darling, since you're so anxious to dance, I'd accommodate you.

[01:35:09]Thank you.

[01:35:27]Heat.

[01:35:37]Heat.

[01:35:57]Your excellency.

[01:35:58]>> Good evening, Pier.

[01:35:59]>> Good evening, sir.

[01:36:06]>> How are you tonight, sir?

[01:36:07]>> I'm very well, thank you.

[01:36:12]>> I'm glad.

[01:36:16]Oh, I have a state secret to tell you. My shoes pinch.

[01:36:38]She's dancing with the horse. I saw him.

[01:36:40]She's captivated him. Oh, this is terrible.

[01:36:43]B. Do you realize our responsibility?

[01:36:46]Our responsibility?

[01:36:48]>> Yes, ours. That excellency was really huge.

[01:36:50]>> No, no, no, no, no. Don't be technical.

[01:36:52]This could have serious complications.

[01:36:53]Think of something. Come on. Think, think, think. I am your excellency. I am.

[01:36:58]>> Oh, come on.

[01:36:59]>> You've made a conquest. The minister seems to find you irresistible.

[01:37:05]>> Ridiculous, isn't it?

[01:37:08]>> He's a man of excellent taste.

[01:37:10]>> Spare me your sarcasm.

[01:37:13]I meant it.

[01:37:16]>> You spare me your charm, >> P.

[01:37:19]I was very happy to find you here.

[01:37:23]>> Did you come to the ball to quarrel with me?

[01:37:26]You wanted to dance. At least enjoy it.

[01:37:30]>> Very generous of you.

[01:37:32]>> Did you notice the ambassador and his wife? How nicely they dance? How she smiles at him?

[01:37:38]I wonder how charming lady would smile at me if you hadn't taken that picture out of my watch.

[01:37:44]>> So, you finally figured it out.

[01:37:47]>> Yes. Thank you. Thank you very much.

[01:37:51]>> I must say it took you a long time.

[01:37:54]Personally, I don't think you have much future in the diplomatic court. No, but >> you have enough insight, enough understanding of human nature, enough trin.

[01:38:08]>> I know you are right. Completely right.

[01:38:11]It worries me.

[01:38:14]I need someone to help me. Someone clever with Jean Seiqua that I like.

[01:38:24]>> Someone like a secretary?

[01:38:27]No, not exactly.

[01:38:30]Someone more like a wife.

[01:38:35]>> I don't suppose I don't suppose you'd be interested.

[01:38:41]>> It doesn't sound like much of a future.

[01:38:44]What? With getting you out of scrapes with women and recovering all the luggage that you lose, being gracious to a lot of highass crooks like the ambassador. In no time at all, you'll probably have me stealing watches for you, too.

[01:38:58]No, it it doesn't sound very appealing.

[01:39:05]I don't even know why I I would consider it.

[01:39:10]No. Oh, no. I Well, why should I?

[01:39:16]>> Because I was your first partner at your first ball. Because a young girl's first ball is a very important event which she should remember all her life. Because I want no one else in your thoughts, in your memories.

[01:39:32]Because I love you.

[01:39:40]You must find a solution. A solution?

[01:39:42]That's it. You have one?

[01:39:44]>> No. Of course not. I have.

[01:39:48]Turn your lie into a reality. Adopt him.

[01:39:52]Make a mighties.

[01:39:54]What do you want? An ugly black scandal or a lovely young niece?

[01:40:33]Harlet, my darling, aren't you happy?

[01:40:37]>> Yes, very happy.

[01:40:40]>> Well, why aren't you crying?

[01:40:44]>> But I am, darling.
