An American in Paris Page #3

- What's the matter?

- I haven't got enough with me.

Come back tomorrow.

It's a cinch they'll still be here.

Why don't you come to the hotel?

I can pay you there.

Fine. Is it far?

Would you care if it were?

- What's your name?

- Jerry Mulligan. Yours?

Milo Roberts.

- Milo?

- Yeah, as in "Venus de".

Venus de.

Is this yours?

Maybe I should have

charged you more.

I'll be back.

Make yourself at home.

Here.

Thanks.

- Would you like some sherry?

- All right.

How'd you come by

these worldly possessions?

A rich husband or father?

A father.

- What's he do?

- Oil.

I should have known.

Suntan oil.

Really? I didn't know

there was so much in that racket.

-There's a lot of red skin in America.

- There must be.

Let's see now.

Where shall I hang these?

Maybe over on...

Here's a good place.

Good light.

Not too much sun.

That'll be fine.

By golly, you know, these are good!

I've seen hundreds of paintings

by young artists...

...and not one has

impressed me till these!

I'm glad.

Makes it easier to give up.

Give up?

It's kind of hard

for an artist to sell.

A writer, a composer can

buy a copy of what they create.

With a painter,

it's the original that counts.

Once that's gone,

it's out of his life.

I never thought of that.

Excuse me for a minute.

Hello, Tommy.

No, dear.

Don't come up.

Be a darling and wait

for me in the dining room.

I'll be right down.

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to stay long.

Don't apologize.

I wanted you to.

I wish we had more time to talk.

Goodbye, and thanks again.

By the way...

...what are you going to do tonight?

Why?

I'm giving

a small party here.

There'll be an extra girl.

Why not come?

I don't know.

Do you have a date?

Well, then come.

You'll find the company very easy.

Nothing formal.

- Be here at eight.

- Okay.

My car can take you home.

He has nothing to do.

Thanks.

Me, me!

Jerry, do you have any bubble gum?

"Demain." Tomorrow.

Tomorrow.

- Rptez aprs moi. "Door."

- Door!

- Street.

- Street!

- Lady.

- Lady!

- Window.

- Window!

- Flowers.

- Flowers!

"Monsieur le" wise guy.

A very hard word.

Massachusetts!

An American song.

- I got.

- I got.

Good.

Charleston!

Choo-choo train!

Soldier!

Napoleon!

Cowboy!

Hopalong Cassidy!

- Charles!

- Charlie Chaplin!

Airplane!

More!

- Good evening. I'm sorry I'm late.

- Good evening.

The moment I went to dress...

...the phone started ringing

like a steeple on Sunday.

Would you like one of these?

Fine, fine.

I've never seen so many

Americans in Paris before.

The Champs Elyse looks

just like Main Street.

Do you live here

all the time?

I usually go home to Baltimore

for Christmas and Thanksgiving.
