at the Plaza.

You weren't one of those cameramen

trying to snap pictures

in the ladies' room, were you?

I'm sorry to say I was unable to attend.

I was being kicked out of Spain

at the time.

- How impressive.

- (Bell ringing)

Last call! The bus for the station

is leaving immediately. Hurry!

God, I hope that maid's finished packing.

I must go and see.

- Mrs Kelly.

- Yes?

It's none of my business

but are you going London like that?

Oh, that? Oh, I can change on the train.

- (Bell ringing)

- Miss Kelly!

The bus for the station

is leaving immediately!

You must come now!

Miss Kelly, we can't wait!

We'll miss the train!

Miss Kelly!

Have them send the luggage on

to Mrs Amanda Metcalfe Madvani

von Hoffstetter Kelly.

No, make that Lady Amanda

Ogilvie-Gore.

You know how they love

a title at Claridge's.

- Or is it the Connaught?

- (Bus hooting)

What is the meaning, Miss Kelly?

You will lose it!

Hey! Bus!

(Amanda shrieking)

(PA) 'Passagiere bitte in den

jetzt da stehenden Zug einsteigen.'

- Frulein Froy!

- Yes?

- You are Frulein Froy?

- Yes.

- I have here your ticket.

- Oh.

Oh, but this is for a reserved seat.

How very thoughtful of them.

Thank you, thank you very much.

If this train's on time at Basel,

- we can catch the last day of the match.

- Just hope it's like this at the Oval.

The porter is putting the baggage

on train for you.

I'd like to have my hat case, please.

- Let me carry that for you.

- Danke schn.

God, this place is teeming with British.

Sie mssen sich beeilen,

der Zug fhrt ab.

(PA) 'Will passengers for Switzerland

please board the train?

- 'It will stop at Innsbruck, Bregenz...'

- (Whistle blows)

- 'Mullenbach, St Gallen and Basel.'

- (Whistle blows)

'Please close the doors.

The train is ready to leave.'

This is the compartment of the Baroness

von Kisling. All seats are reserved.

Why don't you just dry up

and blow away?

I believe this is my seat.

Here, let me take this.

That's all right. I'll just fold it up

and pop it up there on the rack.

Thank you so much.

- Darf ich Ihnen helfen?

- Nein danke, das schaffe ich alleine.

(Whistle blows)

Hey Sie, kommen Sie her!

Machen Sie schon.

Mensch, wir brauchen Sie.

Wo ist diese Person jetzt?

Unterwegs zum Bahnhof.

(Whistle blows)

Can I do anything to help?

You look as if you've been playing

in a coal bin.

Don't tell me I still have...

Why don't we go and see

if the dining car is open?

A nice cup of tea will settle your tummy.

And we'll stop in the washroom

and wash it off!

By all means.

(Laughter)

I said to them, "Don't you play

in the coal bin any more."

Thank you.

- Oh!

- Oh! I'm sorry.

Do forgive me. Very clumsy.

    Wow - it's been a real challenge to find either subtitles or the script for this great remake. Do scripts actually originate from the film's creators/production company ? Or has someone simply typed what they think the actors said ?
