The Girl Downstairs Page #3

Synopsis: Paul Wagner and Rosalind Brown are in love, but her father doesn't feel Paul's lifestyle will make him a suitable husband for his daughter. When Mr. Brown instructs all the servants in his extensive household, except the missing Katerina Linz, not to let Paul in his house again, Paul dons his chauffeur's clothing and takes Katerina to a local fair where they both have a good time. Paul learns she is a farm girl working temporarily as a scullery maid to earn money to replace a cow that died. He takes her home and sees Rosalind while Katarina fixes something for them to eat. The next day, Rosalind asks Katerina to deliver a letter to Paul because all the other servants are busy. At Paul's apartment, he continues the ruse saying the master is out, but his womanizing friend Charlie arrives and is taken by Katerina to be the Paul Wagner for whom the note is intended.

Who is katerina,

and why isn't she here?

She's the scullery maid, sir -

not allowed above the kitchen.

Suppose we all go

down there?

Quiet.

Now I want you all

to look at this man carefully.

If any one of you ever

lets him into my house again,

You will be dismissed

without notice.

You understand?

All:
Yes, mr. Brown.

It's a curious fact,

mr. Brown,

But there's yet to be

a love story written

Where love didn't

find a way.

Again, good morning.

Shoo, shoo.

Boo!

May I offer

my congratulations, sir?

Karl, there's a scullery maid

in there named katerina.

Try to find out

what she's like.

Katerina.

Very good, sir.

Katerina!

Katerina, katerina,

katerina, katerina.

Well?

Well,

I've seen her, sir.

What's she like?

Well,

she's young and petite.

Approachable?

Well, I wasn't

in a position to say, sir.

If I'm going to

get in that house again,

That's what

I have to find out.

Give me your coat

and cap.

Paul:
Hello, there.

I'm talking to you.

Me?

Come here.

My name's paul.

Paul?

When's your day off?

Me? Why?

I've heard a lot

about you.

Me?

Yes. Would you like

to go out with me sometime?

Yes.

Sunday's my night off.

How 'bout you?

Yes. Mine too.

Where would you like

to go?

The fair.

The fair?

I'll meet you right inside

the main entrance,

8:
00 Sunday night.

Main entrance,

8:
00, Sunday night.

Thank you.

You could have

knocked me down with a feather

When he started

turning around like that

And asking mr. Brown

if it was a fashion show.

Such a nice looking young man,

too.

Yeah.

He wasn't hard to take.

And I don't think I've ever seen

mr. Brown so angry before.

No.

Katerina,

what have you got there?

Katerina:

M- me? N-nothing.

wonders will never cease!

Please!

Our little katerina

has a boyfriend.

Give me my flowers,

please!

Oh,

give her back her flowers.

Oh.

Thank you, miss nancy.

All right.

Woman:
Come on, katerina.

Your dinner's getting cold.

Miss rosalind certainly

keeps her father

In an uproar

with her young men.

You went out with a new one

last evening, didn't you?

Well, suppose I did?

A different one

each week.

Say now,

what's the matter with you?

Do they get tired of you?

No.

And if means anything to you,

I'm going out with him

again Sunday.

Not next Sunday, you're not.

Not your day off.

No, it's katerina's,

So I'm going,

and katerina's staying in.

Oh, no you don't.

You're always taking

katerina's day off.

I never saw anybody

so selfish.

This Sunday,

I'm taking her day off.

Well, you got a nerve.

You had last Sunday off.

Oh, now, now.

That's not the way to act.

It's up to katerina.

Who's taking your Sunday off,

cook or anna?
