An American in Paris Page #2

Then I get tired and depressed.

When that happens, the only thing

that helps is wine and women.

That should be very simple.

You are in Paris.

But even in Paris

that takes money...

...which is what

I don't have in the first place.

This isn't music!

It's uncivilized.

It's noise.

- Hi!

- Hi.

Jerry, this is Henri Baurel.

Jerry Mulligan.

How do you do?

I know you.

I've heard you sing a thousand times.

You're wonderful.

- Thank you.

- Excuse me.

Do you have

I'm going to Montmartre.

I need lunch money.

Sorry. Bought a postage stamp

and it broke me.

Please allow me.

No, thanks.

I never touch a guy

unless I've known him 15 minutes.

I've known him 15 years.

Lend me 300.

I wouldn't lend him money if I were

you. He's a bum risk.

Adam! For this you win a scholarship?

What's the matter?

Evidently the man doesn't like jazz.

- He's against it.

- What else is there?

I know what he likes.

He's strictly a three-quarter man.

Old Vienna.

Franz Josef!

The Palace of Schnbrunn.

- Kaffee with Schlagsahne.

- And Wienerschnitzel.

- Dog!

- Pig!

My card!

Gentlemen!

The Emperor!

Relax, sister.

I'm from Perth Amboy, New Jersey.

I can see disregarding perspective

to achieve an effect, but I believe...

Why don't you be

a good little girl and move on?

You won't buy anything.

You're just blocking out the sunshine.

I just wanted

to discuss your work.

I don't want you

to discuss my work.

I'm not interested

in your opinion of my work.

If you say something nice

I won't feel better...

...and if you don't

it'll bother me.

Thank you. Good day.

Do you mind if I look...

...or will you chew

my head off too?

Go ahead.

You're okay.

Thank you.

She's a third-year girl

that gripes my liver.

Third-year girls?

You know, American college kids.

They come here to take their third

year and lap up some culture.

They give me a swift pain.

Why?

They're harmless enough.

They're officious and dull.

They always make profound

observations they've overheard.

Say, do you have

a cigarette?

- I think so.

- Thanks.

Don't you like criticism?

Who does? Tough enough getting

it from those who know.

My first today.

My guess is the business

isn't very good.

Your guess is

right on the nose.

You know...

...I like these two.

Thanks. So do I.

I want to buy them.

How much are they?

Gee, I don't know.

You don't know?

I never thought I'd come to the point

where that would be an issue.

Offer me something.

For each.

Will that be satisfactory?

That'll be

good and satisfactory.

You sure you know what you're doing?

What do you care?

That's about $50 apiece,

isn't it?

I don't know.

I haven't changed money lately.

Oh, dear!
