Mmm, I see.

Actually, dear, the less you know

Or seem to know, the better.

That's what my mother told me

The night I came out in Boston.

You'll wear a hat with a red rose on it.

Must I?

For purposes of identification.

Oh.

While the waiter's

mopping up the cointreau,

Use the phrase "Mrs. rose says,"

Then name a meeting place.

Mr. X of Paris will

contrive to indicate a time.

Follow that up, and he'll

give you the instructions

Where and how to find the next man.

The next man? Wait a minute.

How many men are there?

I'm not sure, but my friend

Will be at the end of the trail.

For the rest, just follow your noses

And use your common sense.

Above all, don't get mixed up

In anything suspicious.

Oh, no.

And don't get excited.

No, no. Of course not.

Good night.

Good night.

Good night, Peter.

Well, you see, dear?

It's really nothing.

Spies...

I'm actually trembling.

Are you cold, dear?

I must get a hat with a big red rose...

What are you doing?

I thought you said you were shivering.

No, darling, not shivering. Trembling.

Oh.

Aren't you even the

least little bit nervous?

Well, yes,

But, uh, no more than is customary

On a honeymoon, I guess.

Just think of what's ahead of us.

'tis the last rose of summer

the last rose...

A rose by any other name...

They shouldn't have any trouble

seeing that, should they?

You know, that's not bad.

That's not bad at all.

That's very pretty.

Thank you, darling.

Richard, somebody's been

Messing about with my things.

When we went to dinner,

My glove case was there,

And the bottles of perfume

Were in the center like that.

The maid probably dusted.

No, she dusted this morning.

I was afraid of this.

No matter what she dusted, darling,

We are now going to the cafe de I'opera.

Stop imagining things.

Oh. Oh.

Pardon, monsieur, madame.

Usually monsieur, madame

have gone out by this time.

That's perfectly all right.

Will madame need anything

more this evening?

No, nothing more tonight, thank you.

Merci, madame.

Come on, darling.

Salaam aleicham, lady and gentleman.

Salaam aleicham.

Very old rug. Many hundred years old.

Not today, thank you.

I will give him for 100 francs.

I said not today.

This carpet, it belongs

to the emir of Baghdad.

His wives make it for him.

He keeps them very busy.

It tells the story of his life.

Very dirty.

What on earth did you say to him?

Very dirty, like carpet.

Allah have mercy. It just isn't true.

What?

It's aunt Hattie and

aunt Ellen from Boston.

It's almost 10:
00.

I know. Here they come. What do we do?

Drug them heavily and ship them to Rio.

Frances, my dear.

Of all people, of all people.

Yes, isn't it?

Your Uncle Fred will be so delighted
