The Other Side of Midnight Page #3

Just yesterday she told me

that one of the girls left:

Of course,

the job is probably gone by now:

I can take you there,

but I can't promise anything:

Oh, I understand:

But it- it would be so wonderful:

Thank you, monsieur:

Here we are:

I will wait for you:

Oh, fine:

What is your sister's name?

- Jeanette:

- Jeanette:
Ah:

[Car Departs]

Hey!

Please stop! My bag!

Stop! My bag!

My bag:

[Man]

Mademoiselle:

- Yes, monsieur?

- You are a guest at this hotel?

No:
I came in because I was tired:

Is that not all right?

- In that case, I must ask you to leave:

- Why?

All I was doing was

sitting on your sofa:

How much does it cost

to sit on your sofa?

- I would like to avoid calling the police:

- The police?

- But call them:
I've done nothing:

- [Man] Hello, cherie:

Hey:
I'm sorry I'm late:

The cocktail parties

at the French War Ministry go on forever:

Don't they?

[Chuckles]

Is, uh, this man bothering you?

Oh, I beg your pardon, sir, but, uh,

lately we had problem with, uh, girls-

- Yeah, I'm sure: Here:

- Thank you very much, sir:

[Chuckles]

You're gonna have to

work a new beat:

- Pardon?

- Uh, another hotel:

Well- Look, the regular girls here

pay him off:

For the money, he keeps

their group exclusive:

I'm not a whore:

[Chuckles]

You're kidding:

By God, I'm not:

- Hey, wait a minute:

- What is it you want with me?

Uh, well, uh-

Well, look, quite frankly,

I gave that guy my last 30 francs:

Could you lend me five?

- But I have no money:

- [Chuckles]

- That's what I thought: Come on:

- Where are you taking me?

- To dinner:
Come on:

- I do not want to go to dinner with you:

- Yes, you do:
Come on:

- No:
No:

- I know a great little place:

- I do not want to go:

Come on:
Take it easy:

It's in Montmartre:

- .(music) [Continues]

- [Noelle] And as I went into the building.

I heard the motor start:

I ran out,

but my taxi was gone-

with my bag in it and all my money:

So, I walked and walked and walked:

And then into the hotel:

And then that man: And then you:

And here I am:

- You are magnificent:

- Magnificent?

[Laughs]

Oh la la:
No:

I don't think I'm that:

Pretty, I'm told, but magnificent-

No, I don't think so:

- .(music) [Continues]

- Mmm:

That's a fine meal:

Thank you:

But now, you have no money:

How shall you pay?

- Where did you come from?

- Marseille:
And you?

- Connecticut:

- What is Co- Conne-

- America:

- Mmm:

And you fly an airplane for England?

No:
I fly for America,
