like so.

No, l don't....

-Twist.

-Better twist.

Get up, l hate these discords.

She is horrible, nyet?

Well, that kind of settles it.

With me, nothing is settled.

Well, l must go now. l must go to Moscow.

-Funny, nyet?

-Very.

lt kills me.

That lunatic's dangerous,

they ought to lock him up.

Am l glad l'm sailing

on the Queen Anne tomorrow.

No, Denise, no.

l can't take you back as ballerina.

Why, you've done absolutely nothing

for four years.

And everything's been so peaceful

since you left.

lt wasn't my fault.

Peter just refused to fall in love with me.

Peter, darling.

Why, Denise...

-or should l say Lady Tarrington?

-No, it is Denise again.

Denise wants to come back to the ballet.

She does?

Well, that sounds like fun.

l didn't know you felt that way.

Why, of course, Denise, you're engaged.

-You go downstairs and get your contract.

-Thank you, Jeffrey.

Jeffrey, may l speak to you

a moment, please?

-You'll excuse us?

-Of course.

And l'll let you know about the rehearsals

the first thing in the morning.

Of course, we can't give her

anything important to do at first.

-You want me to stay, don't you?

-Why, what a question.

-Well, then get rid of her.

-Get rid of her?

Remember all the trouble

she caused the last time?

-But you just told her, l heard you myself.

-l was only being polite.

Oh dear, and l've given her my word.

Look, Jeff, l'll make a deal with you.

You want me to go to New York,

don't you?

Why, naturally.

l'll sail on the Queen Anne tomorrow

providing you get rid of her.

Tomorrow, oh dear, that's so sudden.

l wouldn't know what to do.

l wouldn't know what to say.

-All right, l stay here in Paris.

-But l'll think of something.

l'll connive, l'll connive something good.

Good.

Peter.

Hello, Denise.

l feel very bad

because l'm not going with you.

-So do l.

-ls your wife going with you?

My wife, l haven't any wife.

Jeffrey told me it was a secret

for professional reasons.

Oh, Jeffrey.

Did he mention how long l'd been married?

Yes, he did.

lmmediately after dear Tarrington

took me away from you.

Dear Tarrington.

-ls she sailing with you?

-Who?

Oh, my wife, yes, of course.

l'd love to meet her.

Well, you couldn't.

She's busy with the children now.

Children? But Jeffrey didn't tell me.

Jeffrey doesn't know everything.

lmagine, married four years.

lmagine.

-And how many little ones are there?

-Five.

-Five?

-Well, twins.

-How wonderful.

-lsn't it?

-All visitors ashore,

-Well, goodbye, Denise.

-Sweet of you to see me off.

-Goodbye, Peter.

Bon voyage,

Miss Keene, l know,

wants me to tell you...

how much she hates

leaving her dear Paris.

She's enjoyed everything about it,
