Colonel Hammerbrook is taking

the Maharajah's place today.

I don't think I will.

I don't feel much like a

Maharajah at the moment.

Take my place Michael, and Miss Greyton

can see imposing you really would be.

Very good, sir.

Could Melinda, could Miss

Greyton be the Maharani?

Make it more realistic perhaps?

Good idea. Will you, Miss Greyton?

I'd love to be a Maharani.

Very well.

You're really covered

with medals, Michael.

What's that red and yellow one?

The Africa Star.

That must be a wonderful one to get.

Not at all. It merely

means I set foot in Africa.

"General salute! Present .."

"Arms!"

I hope you realize he was

saluting you, not me.

I don't blame him.

You mean you like me today

as well as you did last night?

Oh yes. Much better. You see,

I had all night to think about you.

Do you like women in black?

Yes, I do. I don't like

you in black, though.

You don't?

There .. is that better?

Much better.

I guess there is no use

pretending with you, is there.

No use at all.

Then let's not .. neither of us .. ever.

Do you promise?

If you promise me something?

Of course. Anything.

Would you let me see you every night

until you go back home again?

What makes you think I

will go back home again?

That's right. Why should you.

Why should you?

I didn't know you were Irish.

No. I'm not really. My mother

was, my father was English.

Did you live in Ireland?

For a while.

Was it lovely?

Lovely? No.

No, it wasn't lovely.

It was cold, dingy, poor.

Michael.

Were you poor?

Not especially.

Why are you so interested? I am not the

least concerned about your childhood.

Well.

Simply because I'm jealous of

all the years I didn't know you.

Oh.

That's what you mean. Oh.

I feel like that, too.

As though I were ill

with a raging fever.

I wonder if I shall ever be well again.

Michael, let's go swimming.

Can't. No suits.

Well, we could take a

sun-bath couldn't we?

That we could.

Good evening, Major.

I'll take it. Thank you.

Good evening, Major.

I thought I heard your key.

Evening, Broaders.

I was on the watch for you, sir.

You forgot to tell me about dinner.

So I said to myself,

well if he doesn't come ..

I'll go to the cinema.

And if he does,

I can open a can of stew.

You'd better make it the cinema.

I won't be dining in.

Good evening, Major.

Good evening.

Please to sit down, Major.

Just make it "sit down".

"To" is superfluous.

Oh, yes. Thank you.

So much in your language is

superfluous. It is very difficult.

You're getting along very well.

Well then, Major.

We sent for you because comrade

Director Radek has arrived from Moscow.

He is asking what success you have had.
