Sabrina Page #2

Synopsis: Linus and David Larrabee are the two sons of a very wealthy family. Linus is all work -- busily running the family corporate empire with no time for a wife and family. David is all play -- technically employed in the family business but never showing up for work, spending all his time entertaining, and having been married and divorced three times. Sabrina Fairchild is the young, shy, and awkward daughter of the household chauffeur, who has been infatuated with David all her life, but whom David hardly notices till she goes away to Paris for two years and returns an elegant, sophisticated, beautiful woman. Suddenly, she finds she's captured David's attention, but just as she does so, she finds herself also falling in love with Linus, and she finds that Linus is also falling in love with her.

as we say over here. "

"Isn't my French getting good?"

"We finally finished our four-week

course in sauces, thank goodness!"

"Soups were tough

but sauces just about killed me. "

"I almost flunked my hollandaise.

It kept separating on me. "

Too much vinegar.

Does she mention David?

Mr. Linus is ready to go into town.

- What does she say about David?

- Not a word.

No, wait. Here's something.

- "I don't think of David very much. "

- That's good.

- "Except at night. "

- That's bad.

"I decided to be sensible

and tore up his picture. "

That's good.

- "Please mail me some Scotch tape. "

- That's bad.

- Morning, Fairchild.

- Morning, sir. Beautiful day, sir.

Take the Parkway.

Two windows open. 35 miles an hour.

Yes, sir.

Morning. Where are you off to?

- The office, where do you think?

- On Sunday?

- Today is Wednesday.

- Wednesday?

This is KL 75263.

Get me Bowling Green 91099.

Good morning, Miss McCardle.

How did the market open?

Industrials, 247.63.

Up a dollar, ten.

Rails, 94.7. Up 58 cents.

Utilities, 47.23. Off 11 cents.

I'm just leaving.

Put the coffee on in 45 minutes.

Inter-office memo to David Larrabee.

Dear David, you are a junior partner

of Larrabee Industries,

located at 30 Broad Street, New York.

Your office is on the 22nd floor.

Our normal week is Monday to Friday.

Our working day is nine to five.

If this is inconvenient

you may retire with your pension.

Having been with us one year,

your entitlement is 65 cents

a month for the rest of your life.

What do you hear from your daughter?

- She still loves him.

- I beg your pardon?

I mean

she loves the cooking school, sir.

But she'll get over it.

And now, mesdames et messieurs,

soon we will see how you have learnt

the lesson of the souffl.

The souffl, it must be gay.

Gay.

Like two butterflies dancing

the waltz in the summer breeze.

Very well. You have five seconds!

Four seconds.

Three seconds.

Two seconds.

One second.

To the ovens!

Too low.

Too pale.

Too heavy.

Too low.

Too high. You are exaggerating.

Fair.

So-so.

Sloppy.

Mmm! Superb! My dear Baron,

you have not lost your touch.

Much too low.

- I don't know what happened.

- I will tell you.

You forgot to turn on the oven.

I have been watching you.

Your mind has not been on the

cooking. It has been elsewhere.

You're in love. And I will venture

to go a step further.

- You are unhappily in love.

- Does it show?

Very clearly. A woman happily

in love, she burns the souffl.

A woman unhappily in love,

she forgets to turn on the oven.

- Am I correct?

- Yes. But I'm trying to get over it.

Why try to get over it? You speak

of love like it was a bad cough.

He doesn't even know I exist.
