Sabrina Page #3

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.

I might as well be reaching

for the moon.

The moon?

Oh, you young people

are so old-fashioned!

Have you not heard? We are building

rockets to reach the moon.

To begin with, you must stop looking

like a horse.

Horse?

"His name is Baron Saint Fontanel. "

Baron!

"He came here for a refresher course

in souffls

and liked me so much he decided

to stay on for the fish. "

- What does she say about David?

- David? She's got a baron!

"The Baron is 74 years old,

and very sweet and very wise. "

"He has a box at the opera,

a racing stable, wonderful paintings

and his own vineyards. "

"Tomorrow night he is taking me

to a very fashionable charity ball

and I have a dress

just for the occasion. "

"If David could only see me in it. "

"Yards of skirt

and way off the shoulders. "

Good morning, sir.

- Morning. What's going on?

- A letter from Sabrina.

Wouldn't you like to read it?

There's something about you.

- Poor Sabrina.

- What's wrong with him?

He's getting married again.

- He is?

- Number four.

Who says so?

Cholly Knickerbocker. Don't you

people ever read the society columns?

- Is my brother in?

- Yes, Mr. David, but he's very busy.

- I want to see him.

- How about 3:
30?

- I want to see him now!

- I'm sorry. I have my orders.

He's working on the plastics deal.

Press that button,

or I'll break that door down

using you as a battering ram!

- Mr. David!

- Make up your mind!

Linus, I want to talk to you!

- Ask for an appointment.

- Don't give me that! I'm mad!

Alright, gentlemen,

I'll be ten minutes.

Now what's the trouble?

How did this get in the paper?

"David Larrabee is to marry again. "

"The girl is Elizabeth Tyson

of the Oyster Bay Tysons. "

- Congratulations.

- Did you plant this?

It's common knowledge about you and

Elizabeth Tyson. Don't you like her?

I like her a lot.

I like a lot of girls a lot.

- You can say that again.

- What are you doing with that gun?

Put that thing away, Linus!

Look at that. The greatest plastic

ever made. Not a scratch.

I wonder how this'd stand up

against a bazooka.

Miss McCardle, ask General Stanton

if we can borrow a bazooka.

Yes, Mr. Larrabee.

- To get back to my problem...

- Lend me your lighter.

Linus, I have no intention

of marrying Elizabeth Tyson!

Doesn't burn, doesn't scorch,

doesn't melt. How about that!

I've been married before.

I've had it three times.

This time the family approves.

You're going to do

something constructive. Taste it.

What's constructive

about marrying her?

- Taste it.

- It's sweet.

It's made of sugar cane.

Sugar cane.

Wait a minute.

The Tysons own the largest holdings

of sugar cane in Puerto Rico!
